I've put up my walls and I've put them up high 
Say what you want but there's nothing to hide, to hide, to hide
This castle was built with stone carved out of pride 
and thin white lies
I'll do more than shut
I'll brick the door up

THE DOOR UP
BRICK, BRICK,
SLASH STAB, SLASH STAB CUT
WALLS, WALLS, PUT THEM UP
MY DOOR, I KEEP SHUT

I keep myself shut and I keep it shut tight
My center is soft and it tends to unwind, 
like string or twine
Try cross my moat and you'll all surely die 
by crocodiles
Don't open it up
I'll slash, stab and cut

Why don't you step on this,
You're fit to see my bricks
Teeth sharp, hands armed with sticks
You'll crumble under blitz
The walls around you falling
Blaring sirens calling
Brick bits and mortar burning
A stomach fucking churning

Come say it in my space
Of which you surly waste
Curb fresh with blood and face
The only chance you take
The life in your eyes fading
Your organs slowly failing
I know I seem erratic
But don't be so pathetic
From your ears it's dripping
The tar on which I am sipping

Rein back, everything you put out there
Then trash all of it so they don't stare 
You just won't forget it give up and accept it
Repeatedly told to just stop 
So why should you listen
You don't need permission
One small push to watch them drop.

Rein back
Your slack
Take back
Don't crack

Take back your life over which you once reigned 
Then scratch obsessively to rid the stains 
If you just keep going with no signs of slowing
Your bound to see the other side
You lick it and stick it 
With your thumb you squish it
Be careful or you might go blind

Wait and watch yourself
Squash the need to ask for help
The pain will grow and make you strong

Blood and water will
Mix together and distill
Into the fuel that makes us whole

Nobody told me it was wrong
Nobody wants to be alone

Numb and loving it
Your thoughts and kindness don't mean shit
How dare you ask me how I am

Breath in and out
Don't concentrate,
Please try not to asphyxiate 
Euphoric, just floor it, fall full tilt
open that door
 
Nobody told me it was wrong
Nobody wants to be alone
I never liked you anyway 
I am the hell you can't escape

No, there's nothing you can do or say to change it
Don't waste your breath trying to make it better
The black hole comfortably pulls me in, it feels so effortless 
You won't know if I'm real or just joking, the hollowness is bliss

Nobody told me it was wrong
Nobody wants to be alone
I never liked you anyway 
I am the hell you can't escape

Don't lose your grip
Don't let go, keep your shit
Keep your head up
Yank yourself out, don't get stuck

Break off your stare
Don't get lost in the glare
Don't burn a hole
Right through my wall and skull
(it burns right through)

Kill all your “friends”
Pull it apart, make it end
Fill up the pit
Burn all your fear, drain your spit
(Burn it all your shit)

Do you ever just wonder off, into night
Into void, into something that feels warm and safe
Trying to get away from that feeling
Only to feel something else or nothing at all.
 
Do you ever feel like a piece of trash that floats in the streams and rivers that only exist in the gutters of sidewalks and roads during a huge fucking storm.
I thought I told you to hold on!

Gale force thoughts blow through my mind as you spit shit in my ear about nothing and everything all at once. I just wish you would shut the fuck up. 
I am trying to hold on!

Lock up all daughters and wives
Fathers and sons cannot hide
Bear your strength effortlessly 
Guard your home from foes obscene

And when it happens
The famine gathers to feast
Blood in our streets
______

Loved ones collapse at our feet
Smelling of piss and defeat
Animals gagging for law
They say our blood runs thick no more

And if you listen
The hearts intention and core
Desires no gore

It knows your name, your age, your place of work, 
your home address
I knows no fear, not sleep or tears, 
ceaseless and never needs breath
It wants, it feels, it fucks, it smothers and blinds
It chains, it hangs, it flays, and has for all time

As you rise, rub your eyes, roll on over then you notice something wrong
They pulled up, tore it down, flipped it over, now it's gone

There must be something
There must be something
That you want
I owe you nothing 
I owe you nothing
So fuck off

It's always something 
It must be something
that you want
But i have nothing
Oh i have nothing
Nothing

What you think, what you know, what you feel, is that enough?
Seek it out, seek it in, hold it close deep in your gut

I have this feeling 
I have this feeling 
It won't stop
I feel it eating
I feel it eating
My heart out

I have a feeling 
The same old feeling
It won't stop
It's always eating 
Always eating
Always eats

It's never nothing
It's always something
That you want

I'm not erratic
You're just pathetic 
So fuck off

There must be something 
It must be something
That i want

You're never healing
You're just concealing
So fuck off

It's always something
