BLEED OUT
I never knew clicking on a Craigslist post would land me here.
While we are a hardcore band, everyone in the group (especially me) are a bunch of softies. I play drums. Sometimes I write lyrics.
Here’s a few songs I wrote with our lead vocalist Lain.
Be warned: they’re a bit edgy and some readers find that cringe.
However, as an unnamed author of our time has said, “I am cringe, but I am free.”

I see myself in the mirror
He's smiling at the floor
Staring at my shadow
All he ever wants is more
Hard water on the faucet
My life flashed before I caught it
Knowing it's just within my reach
If only he wasn't standing there
Then I could live my life without all the bull shit
You can live like him
Be his reflection
Bathe in his shadow
Love in his place
Dream of living that life of his
And steal his face
I see veins through my skin
The reflection keeps smiling
It's our habits that make us like this
My eyes ring hollow
His shine bright blue
Now quench your thirst and fucking bite this
Could you scratch my throat
His tail is in the way
My hand touching his
I feed this feedback
I can live like him
Have his inflection
Bathe in his shadow
I'll Love in his place
Dream to live that life of his
And steal all his faces
Hands out
Suffocate
Eyes closed
Hold his head
Identicide
Hard water on the mirror
My eyes fell before I caught them
Knowing I'm just within my reach
If only he wasn't standing there
Then I could live my life with the rest of them
We can live like him
Be their reflection
Follow their shadow
Love in their place
Dream to take their lives
And steal all their faces
Now I know (Now I know)
I know I am me

It has come to my attention
That all attention is earned
It has come to my attention
That my attention wasn't had
Stuck in a loop wonder what i can do
repeating choices I choose to repeat
Looking at the floor until he flips the script
How i want to hop in the painting behind me
Death is coded
I know it firsthand
I choose it like a player
It's how you win the game
it has come to my attention
that attention is taken
it is in my intentions
the attention in the details
can’t keep it separate my story’s fucked up
my life will be perfect when i make it out
keeping my face straight, laugh off all the questions
i’ll find all the answers while looking in the mirror
death is written
i know it firsthand
i write it like an author
it’s how you win the game
from my view above the streets
they all stir like sand
falling into crevices of their place is in my hands
distant from the rain from the clouds and the sky
i sit up here waiting for the next show to come on
life is a game
life is the plot
life is my job
life is the same
death is a profit i know it firsthand
i call it like a doctor and i say it’s time and place
i’m stuck in the spiral but we’re not the same
we wait for the winner yet we’ve all lost the game

Fist to face
Face to wall
Inside you, life is shattering
Stars in the sky
Blood through our hearts
Surface of last scattering
Digging deeper in the pit
This dirt I eat is mine to keep
With the taste of a familiar sort of dread
Pitch black in front and
only night as my torch
I crawl further and further to contempt
Cherish this
It’s all you’ll ever get
We can die
Cause’ that’s all we ever get
Sing for those who you’ve yet to see
Greet your past with burning confusion
Find your center in the present
It’s all in the last seconds before coming to
Bleed Out
Cherish this
This all you’re gonna get
We can die
Cause’ it’s all we ever get
Sing for those who you’ve yet to see
Greet your past with burning confusion
Find your center in the present
It’s all in our last seconds before coming to
Blunt object
Surface tension
Laser guided
Blood pressure
Hands to face
Face the wall
Inside you, we are shattering
Stars in the sky
Show them your heart
Surface of last scattering
