Heavenly 03:43
Is it easy as you thought It'd be To tell the world you're far from clean Full of nothing but rotten dreams Been this way since you were 16 You said you would come clean Said my end justified your means Is it easy as you thought it'd be Is it easy as you thought it’d be Heavy handed you tore me apart Just an echo of the cloth I was sewn from Heavy handed, I've done my part Heavy handed, you pulled at my heart I'm catching the skin as it falls from your bones You look down your nose from a heavenly throne As if you've never known the sin that's bred in my bones It's growing heavier now Heavy handed you tore me apart Just an echo of the cloth I was sewn from Heavy handed, I've done my part Heavy handed, heavy handed I'm losing composure I'm not who I'm supposed to be But no ones taken that away from me What a self righteous mess Caught in your self righteousness All I see are heavenly Pastures

Daylight 03:59
I feel nostalgia for a day I never saw Surrendered to a youthful call I'm survived by my failures But my fears pass one bye one Into the dark One by one into the dark of your domestic heart I've been lost in the daylight The silent path to you My footsteps echo with remorse I'm in the deep end now I've heard all about your voice Crawling through the white noise Seemed so simple at the time You satisfied my appetite Did it cross your mind That I'm not worth it Half the time I've been lost in the daylight The silent path to you My footsteps echo with remorse I'm in the deep end now I asked you for healing But all I ever felt was hurt You were the cornerstone for my worth It all makes sense to me now What I am to you just another knot in the noose Another sinner with a point to prove Buried by the weight of my words I lust after a reason to wake up Day after day

My Home 05:42
Ill cut everything off of my tongue If it does not serve you in some form or fashion My hands are aching from holding on so tight To any semblance of selfless life I’m a half measure, Broken glass beneath your feet Selfishness seeps freely from the seams of everything I’ve seen Your love has grown cold And now there’s nothing left But ash and dust The precedent you set This poison rots my lungs out Of my chest A home for all your sorrows A window to watch you wallow A light in the dark for you I’m home to all your sorrows Im a garden for all your flowers Safer than the halls you hallowed Sunlight never changed my shadow Nothing can pass through these paper thin walls Nothing I haven’t heard before I caught myself at the end of rope Nothing but callouses and empty hope I’m home to all your sorrows Im a garden for all your flowers Safer than the halls you hallowed Sunlight never changed my shadow I will lose myself amid the hate And I will be better for it My home is a candle, dimly lit Please relieve me Of the horrors I see in myself I’m too hard hearted Too self doubting How careless am I To think an eye for an eye is some form of justice It’s time to give up what I’ve trusted No longer does “misguided” carry any weight No longer can I close my eyes and claim that I’m afraid Of this outcome that only I can claim I’m done reveling in the same jaded shame
