I've lived my life,
By throwing up walls,
That anyone could see...
I've hidden all the passion,
Hidden all the blame,
Hidden everything that makes up me...
It used to seem...
That I was always hiding...
Hiding from the world,
Hiding from the shame,
Hiding from tomorrow,
And hiding from today...
But if you strip away my armor,
If you strip away my pain,
If you strip away all that I've lost,
And leave me all I've gained,
I am all that remains
I am all that remains...
I've taken all I could,
Even when I knew it would,
Only hurt you and me...
All the love that I've felt,
Had been so disguised,
I felt forced to deny...
And it seems...
That I was always denying...
Denying the world,
Denying my shame,
Denying tomorrow,
And denying today...
(And life...can't be lived this way...)
If you strip away my armor,
If you strip away my pain,
If you strip away all that I've lost,
And leave me all I've gained,
I am all that remains
I am all that remains...
All that remains is me!
(Is me!)
And everything that I see...!
It's all, so much more clear!
(It's clear...!)
All that remains is me!
(Is me...!)
And that's really all...
I've ever wanted to be...
(All I ever wanted to be...)
Is me!
So if you strip away my armor,
If you strip away my pain!
And strip away,
All that I've lost!
And leave me all I've gained!
I am...!
I am all that remains!
All that remains...
I am all that remains

Electrolytes
I can raise my hands into the sky
And scoop down a fistful of cotton clouds
That've lusted in the thunder
And turned an ink black;
I want to pick out strings of white lightning,
Put them in a syringe
And inject volts into my veins.

Do Not Forget
Burning bright,
Like a fire's light.
The sun appears,
The moon whispers tears.
I raise my eyes,
And forget my lies.
The sun knows all,
I've no way to stall,
This law before,
I wait no more.
Heaven's judge awaits,
I must face my fates.
For in this hour,
I cannot cower.
Forgive my lies,
I apologize.
Forgive my sins.
I am done here,
I face the fear.
For my own hands,
they write new lands.
In my own mind,
I cannot find,
What I believe,
Now many grieve.
I say farewell,
I here have fell.
Into the wind,
I can't rescind.
My arms are spread,
My days are dead.
Good-bye my friend,
This is the end.
A new day will come,

I should sleep
I should sleep
I know it against the mattress
The ceiling is lacking in conversation
Even the cracks are slowly drifting
Their yawning leaves black chasms in the wall
I should sleep
The window keeps reflecting the silence
And the closets been staring for hours
I'd tell it to stop, but it never learned to speak
The sheets are getting too tight
I know they don't like my body type
The bookshelves are sinking into the carpet
Falling softly under the weight of night
Leaving heavy sighs that crease the air
That night, I announce to the ceiling
"Sleep has no time for me. I am exempt from it's loss."
But by then the ceiling was d
