JOY LYRICS

1. Hurting My Soul

Suffocating in the grasp.
Life's cold fingers wrapped around my throat.
Constant searching for some relief.
Unknown salvation is what we seek.
Forward motion with blinded eyes.
What we need, left undefined.
Suffocation never ending
Will to live is slowly fading into the dark
Living is hurting my soul
We weren't made to feel this way.
How is it better than killing myself?

2. No Light Below

Swallowed by darkness
Surrounded by flame
A fire without any light
Feeling the burn
Consume every soul slowly
All of existence resides underneath
Longing for relief
I reach, I plea
That something would help or simply just end me
Shadowed forever
Eternal expansion
Hope in the distance
Always just out of reach
I can see
Illumination far above
I long to know it
I'm afraid nobody does
No light, no light below
Born in darkness, so it's all I know.

3. Exist Without

Pull me down.
Drown me with earth
My ribs, and prison
Holding captive, my beating heart
Where do I run? I feel the limitation
Peel away, strip me clean
Unrelenting humanity
We can't fix it
This sickness, repeating
Unrelenting humanity
We can't change a thing
Calcified collectively
Can anything break it free?
Thinking with one mind
Forever unchanging.
I'm so sorry
Peel away, strip me clean
Unrelenting humanity
This sickness, repeating
Unrelenting humanity

4. Bleak Home

Wounds aren't only restricted to flesh
Cut into wood
Carved into stone
Lying much deeper than eyes can behold
Infection will spread to the soul
Wounds aren't always inflicted inside
Cut into wood
Carved into stone
Cover the surface for eyes to behold
Depression will harden the soul
Scars run deeper than you think.
Damaged and all alone
In this bleak home, forced to grow cold
Ignite the match
Fuel the cleansing flame
Burn it down
Monument to grief and sorrow
Burn it down
Memories of pain

5. Despised

Separated voluntarily
Or so it seems
Born with hatred burning in my eyes
How can I be okay?
Living with such disdain
Fists full of rage
Grinding teeth
Pissed off by everything I see
I see the worst in man
Their vile actions replay in my head
I despise them
Point the finger back at me I still hate what I see
Admit the harsh truth
I can't pretend
I'm still one of them
I'm no different
No matter how hard I try
I despise them, so I despise me too

6. Feel

Something isn't right.
Can you feel it?
Always there in the back of our mind.
Can you feel it?
Always present, never noticed.
Can you feel it?
Never changing, always constant.
Can you feel it?
Can you finally feel it?

7. Calloused

Total complacence.
Rejecting the obvious truth.
Calloused and bitter.
Separate, so what can I do?

Nothing can mend it.
Twisted and in disrepair.
Violence, deception, rejection.

When will it end?
A tolerated hate.

Nobody else relates to me.
Contorted thoughts in my head.
Imbalanced chemicals with no end.

Told to accept it.
Tolerate it.
Tolerate it.

8. Pass The World

Hatred and anger aimed at each other.
Violently killing our own.
Accepting suppression.
Without any question.
So quick to cast the first stone.
I won't blame you
If you decided to just look way
In your place I'd do the same.
Sometimes I question,
Fearing rejection
If something is even out there.
Observed from a distance.
All the injustice.
How could this be the plan?
If I were you I'd have given up.
Failure unending, why pardon us?
What's stopping them?
They could just pass the world

9. Along The Edge

Going through these thoughtless motions.
I move along the edge.
Waiting for the slightest friction.
Pushing me over the line.
Falling into the nothing that
I've become.
Stranger among them
Wrapped up in rage
Lost in the busy crowd
Emotion is barely contained
Drifting in and out of sanity
In and drab and dreary world
I'm God's lonely man
Alone in silence, I crave the pain.
With or without you
I'll die alone.
Unfiltered rage flows through me.
The worlds the victim, or it is it me?

10. Moon And Sky

Roots wrapped around every limb
Holding me down to the earth
She won't forgive me again I've learned to live with decay
This hollow existence could not even begin to satisfy the many needs of my dying flesh.
We become one
Roots wrapped around every limb
Holding me down to the earth
She won't forgive me again I've learned to live with decay
Cold and dark
The moon and sky look down on this delicate and foolish display.
The cycle of life and death will repeat without any end
We've been here before.
I've learned to live with decay.
