Forfeiture

Insincere your passions are,
Just a paper mache of all your insecurities.
Is is really unfair of me to point this out?
But it isn't too late for you to turn yourself around.
Stand up, and take responsibility for the things you call your own.
It's all about what you're willing to give.
Are you fulfilled with this surreal way of living?
Just stand up and be counted.

(You'd rather be loved for someone that you're not,
Than hated for who you really are.
Hopefully one day you find yourself.)
(We walk alone. We stand alone.)
It's all about what you're willing to sacrifice
in order to make you better than you are.
It's all about what you're willing to sacrifice
in order to make you worth the breaths you take.

You're wasting half your days. Nobody can rescue you.
You are your only help.





House Vs Hurricane - Forfeiture

The Truth of a Liar

Become every lie you've ever spoken.
I'll rip your eyes right from your face
A blackened tongue, bruised countenance
If you take this from me I'll take everything you've ever loved
And crush it with the carcass that once housed the only thing I'll ever hate.
Me.

some new lyrics, why not.

take a deep breath
fight back the clinging fear
and pound your fists in the air
tonight, we fight this slow death

as the walls crumble around us we only scream louder
our throats are raw our lungs they shake
these chests hold something you can never take

we are the forsaken
we are those forgotten
the blood of a world is on your hands
we march as one to reclaim these lands

as the walls crumble around us we scream so much louder
our throats are raw, your hands they shake
these chests hold something you will never take

destiny is marked and we know our fate
to leave those to come a clean slate
the sky falls around us, our time has come
we bleed but we fight on, beneath the new sun

tonight we fight for those who cant
tonight we truly know how it feels
to feel alive
we are no longer helpless
we are the new progress

as the walls crumble around us we all scream louder
with throats red raw, our fists they shake
our chests hold hearts that you will never take

she makes dirty words sound pretty

and baby honestly these teeth won't let you go

find something worth fighting for, even if you have times where you dont understand why you should, or you think it's a lost cause.
find that something and fight for it with everything you have.
don't just let it pass.
fight for something you believe in, someone you care about, be what it may, but if theres nothing in your life to fight for... well then, my friend, you lead a hollow existence.
dont exist in passing, actively exist. make your mark.

if my life were to end today, it wouldnt change the world in any way

maintain

well kids. that right there is the power of communication.
take someone aside and talk to them. you never know what might happen..
i guess here's to new(ish) beginnings.
i spoke some harsh words, and i dont retract them, they were as they stood.
time will tell how this goes.

come home

i hate this
i've never been so unsure of myself
one minute i want nothing to do with this.
the next i refuse to let this go.
theres so much that would need to change
and i dont know if either of us are up to that challenge.
some things cant be changed at all.
i cant keep second guessing myself.
please just make up your mind, one way or the other.
i cant sit here alternately loving and hating you for much longer before i break.

there's never an ounce that i breathe without thinking about who i could have been with you.

lemon meringue tie

and i dont know why, i dont know why i fight for you this way

i cant be the person you want me to be
im done trying to be myself and yet change for you
everything i've done has been for you
and every time i've lost a little more of me

im not a puzzle piece, i wont just fit myself into your life
no matter how hard you try to jam me in there without inconveniencing your own lifestyle,
it still wont happen

theres give and take
and im done giving until you stop taking
your priorities reflect exactly how much respect you have for me
so now you can see how i've felt
i wish it hadn't come to this resentment
i wish we'd been able to talk about it
but you haven't made it easy
i guess i'll just have to step up and open the floodgates.
