My Oblivion

My sights are filled with alluring flowers, so empowered, take me
Florescent zen where I'm their slave again inside my oblivion
Their petals bloom and I'm fixated, isolated, save me
I'm weak within, give me my sin again, I'm home in my oblivion
My oblivion is me
So many flowers, I can't hold them, I don't own them, free me
Am I to blame for all my shame I hide inside my oblivion
It's far too easy, streams are flowing, never slowing, help me
It's only nature but I'm drowning in my own sweet oblivion
My oblivion is me

Vultures

Something dark is overshadowing the state of this place
It doesn't take much to induce the ugly selfish side of man
Again
Only out for number one, the vultures decimate supplies
Paint a target on their backs for when it really hits the fan
Again
Empty shelves, empty hearts
You took more than your share
You really showed how much you care
Be careful out there
Where were you when the world stopped turning?
Only out for number one
Don't complain when the world starts burning
You created what's to come
So let it come, then run away
This test is nothing like the worst that we could face in future
I would say plenty of you failed, so now's your chance to get it right
For once
Humanity relies on holding others up, not pushing down
I guess you missed that memo, don't expect your own supportive crowd
Congratulations, you have shown
Your true colour, and it's black
Now's the time to watch your back
It's what you do best
Where were you when the world stopped turning?
Only out for number one
Don't complain when the world starts burning
You created what's to come
Here it comes, run away

My Broken Mind

I'm halfway through this real life read-through, I still have no clue, what I'm here for
Just when I thought I found my purpose, I'm still at the surface, of so much more
What is left to talk about
When it always ends in doubt
What is left to talk about
Nothing left to say
It's the same me letting me down
It's the old me getting me down
It's always me letting me down
And I'm trying and trying to understand
I've tried and tried to break my cycle, but I always spiral back to the start
This ephemeral motivation, barely leaves the station, but I must take part
What is left to talk about
When it always ends in doubt
What is left to talk about
Nothing left to say
It's the old me letting me down
It's the same me getting me down
It's always me letting me down
And I'm trying and trying to understand
I've tried and tried to break my chains, but I'm slave to all I know
These walls are how the world defines me, it's time to break my mold
Please break me out, please let me find another way
Please save me now, please save me, from my broken mind
I'm halfway through this real life read-through, I still have no clue, what I'm here for

Hangover
05:13

Love me like a head wound
Kiss me like I don't deserve you
Break me like a promise
Hurt me like I'm barely worth it
Love me like a waste of time
Loath me til you cannot hide it
Tease me til I'm far from sober
You're my bittersweet hangover
Treat me like a mistake
I'm all yours, I'll never fake it
Let me be your letdown
Hold me down, I'm slowly drowning
Guilt me, keep me in submission
You're my favourite aneurysm
Feed me endless melodrama
My Atropa Belladonna
Kiss me til I'm barely breathing
Hallucinate my way through feeling
I'm already far from sober
Please give me my sweet hangover
Snared and deadened by venomous veils
In seizure to please her, I don't wanna leave
Dominated to keep me sedated
Set me on fire and siphon my life away
How did I become infused with you
Sacrificing myself just for you
Derelict and desperate to fit in
I questioned nothing, please just let me in
Hold me down and never let me go
I am yours, I'm under your control
Suffocate me, strangulate my soul
Make me crave you, I'll be yours alone
