We're back! Here's our second single from our upcoming second album!

lyrics

The lies I try to tell myself can't cover up the hole
That's split my brain in separate halves and swallowed up my soul
I'm drowning in a lake
That's filled from coast to coast
With all the teeth that I have lost in those dreams I hate the most.

The landscape seems to bleed and blur, my vision fades to black
Every time I want to think of her I try to force it back
The truth is that I'm sorry for all these things I can't control
And honestly I'm terrified of ending up alone

I can't tell what's wrong of me these days
Might as well
Just leave me to rot
Maybe this is all that I've got

I kill myself almost every night but in the morning I'm awake again
The static sting that haunts my head is a reminder that I lost against
The lonely voice of reason who tries to keep my life on track
He lost his job so long ago and he's never coming back

I can't tell what's wrong of me these days
Might as well
Just leave me to rot
Maybe this is all that I've got

In the end I don't know how much I can say
I fake a laugh, a grin, a smile
Then I turn to walk away
It's a story that by now I should have known
Then I'm deafened by the sound of my always empty home
And I'm blinded by the thought of you and me
I write a catacomb of poems that I wish that you could see
But in the end I know that they're probably just for me.
