Red Flag 03:03
the freedom you forfeit the damage that runs deep the freedom you forfeit piled high on the ash heap you've been playing their game invested in the way they say your name ruled only by the looks they throw your way don't you see what's wrong here? giving up these parts of your own self in exchange for a seat high up on the shelf you're saying nothing's wrong but everything's on fire do you see the red flags? do you see them? can you really say you're honest with yourself? do you see the red flags? do you see them? the more i explain the less you hear no help can come through when the fire's so near everything's wrong, everything's wrong the more i explain the less you hear everything will burn before we rebuild everything's wrong, everything's wrong you're saying nothing's wrong but everything's on fire do you see the red flags? do you see them? can you really say you're honest with yourself? do you see the red flags? do you see them? haven't you noticed that everything is burning? it's burning haven't you noticed that everything's on fire? it's on fire

i lost my faith in everything again i cannot fake my energy again everything is going backwards going so long without it taking time ain't wasting time i see through it, i push through it i won't be tried again this is a calling for another chance to redeem myself this opportunity won't be so wasted and i alone will listen to myself not gonna waste my time again i will move on - no progress, no reward i see through it, i push through it i won't be tried again this is a calling for another chance to redeem myself this opportunity won't be so wasted and i alone will listen to myself

Choice 02:38
you think i'm making this up? i can truly see why a whole world against you... yes it has to be a lie well i know its not fun to feel this pain in your chest but its just easier than engaging in distress the real severity of this deep injury shut down your vision, this is our decision turn down your voice, this is our choice proceed with caution, it is the only option with your hands over your eyes, you can't really expect to be right as rain when filled with such neglect controlling everything when its not even yours well it's so much easier than engaging in distress the real severity of this deep injury shut down your vision, this is our decision turn down your voice, this is our choice proceed with caution, this is the only option get out of my insides! let me control my fate!

Siren 03:56
she spoke so calm she spoke so clear a siren drawing near i'm startled by the sound this facade is caving in i see my every sin one endures the day to day this constant cosplay every nod met with a smile never complain, never explain tugged collar hiding a bruise a life you didn't choose you did this to survive everyday you face criticism as though you didn't even try one endures the day to day this constant cosplay every nod met with a smile never complain, never explain exposure creeps in my lungs i can't complain, i can't explain square peg, round hole, this exhausting test i can't complain, i can't explain

Animal 03:08
enjoying the concept more than the reality even if it leaves you battered and bruised what good is vengeance when no one is innocent never really cared about it, did you? its painfully obvious, i just can't let go seeing that its all an act just a facade reaching back into the past i can't move on i'm just an animal this is gonna take so long to fix i'm not sure it's possible its so hard to erase whats already been written its easier to just start fresh but who are we kidding we don't really don't really know the extent of the damage is it all too late? never again why won't you witness my own forgiveness
6.
Fake 03:52
you criticize everything i ever did or tried tore me down when you could, and i knew that you would am i out of reach yet? from your puncture and the venom when i wanted you on my side the hardest lesson learned is this one am i better? am i any wiser? we came from the same place, do we have the same fate? am i separate? am i different? taking it day by day now that I'm past your scope you've given me all of your hope, since it's so easy to do when you're not so desperately needed it must be exhausting, being so fake what does it take, what does it take to script every word, every move, every lie? the hardest lesson learned is this one am i better? am i any wiser? we came from the same place, do we have the same fate? am i separate? am i different? taking it day by day did you mean it like that? forceful and misplaced? or did you say it wrong? you said it wrong, with hate so strong i didn't mean to take it all right down to my name it's the world to blame, the world's to blame, not me and mine, me and mine you'll never know how hard it is just to know how hard it is

Nova 01:49
FYI there are no words here but thanks for checking you're cool

Enemy 06:19
if you're backed into a corner, then why aren't you fighting? if you've given up your judgement then what's the difference? we've been raised and groomed a certain way taught us all to hate it's hard to change an instinct so ingrained, our own worst enemy this is me finally speaking up to be heard and my fist clenching this broken blinder from my eyes i'm never going back i'm never going if you're angry and you don't know why, that's not the problem if you're only just now questioning, why are you wasting time? its not our fault, the one who blocks way, she has my face it's hard to change an instinct so ingrained, our own worst enemy this is me finally speaking up to be heard and my fist clenching this broken blinder from my eyes i'm never going back i'm never going ENEMY the hardest part of becoming self aware you've crossed that line and they began to care this is being called to attention it seems small, but it's worth the mention and i hope for differences and changes in the patterns i'm perceiving within and i still will have that knee-jerk feeling sometimes, even though i know whats right and real and i am reaching out with everything i have please listen, please consider, please hear me out cause we are many, and we are strong we will be loud, paying attention, going to start screaming whats wrong don't go back, won't go back
