Our Own Light

by Berried Alive

/
1.
We're so consumed By our own light That we won't illuminate our own lives And even for only just the one night I know we’d all be shining so bright Let me disappear to the other side Let me separate from the void, from the hollow Dissipate far beyond the shadows Please take me away to where darkness doesn’t follow Let me disappear to the other side Let me disappear to the other side Please take me away to where darkness doesn’t follow We're so consumed By our own light That we won't illuminate our own lives And even for only just the one night I know we’d all be shining so bright Let me disappear to the other side Let me separate from the void, from the hollow Dissipate far beyond the shadows Please take me away to where darkness doesn’t follow Let me disappear to the other side Let me disappear to the other side Please take me away to where darkness doesn’t follow Your home again, it’s time you see the truth In every way, you left behind your youth Let me disappear to the other side Let me separate from the void, from the hollow Dissipate far beyond the shadows Please take me away to where darkness doesn’t follow Let me disappear to the other side Let me disappear to the other side Please take me away to where darkness doesn’t follow

Peachy So why am I paranoid Paranoid I should be grateful So why am I paranoid Paranoid I lost the old me that knew how to trust Crossed over coldly burned hope into dust Don't look too closely, I might just combust Mistook and ghostly, I'm ripe with disgust I can't think of anyone to give a chance Ya'll disappoint me in advance My Intuition Omission Condition Won't listen, physicians just fiction Life is peachy So why am I paranoid Paranoid I should be grateful So why am I paranoid Paranoid I found myself asking when will it end Do it all alone cuz what the fucks a friend Bid my farewell, into dark I descend No stones been thrown, still prepared defense I can't think of anyone to give a chance Ya'll disappoint me in advance My Intuition Omission Condition Won't listen, physicians just fiction Life is peachy So why am I paranoid Paranoid I should be grateful So why am I paranoid Paranoid

I fucking lost it I fucking lost it, never had it all along Give me a do over, I'll still get it wrong Break me apart, bring me back where I belong Reckless, cold, and heartless, spiraling darkness with no pending dawn I fucking lost it I fucking lost it Wish I could find a way out I fucking lost it I fucking lost it Wish I could take the blade out I fucking lost it, growing toxic from the guilt I feel the clock tick turning caustic as I wilt Pain for the pills, where the fucks the life I built Call off all the searches, I know exactly where all the blood is spilled Time to confess Clear away all shame I've kept inside Life is a mess Out in the open no emotion left to try to hide Life is a mess, it's imperfectly fine We've all got regrets and they stay close behind Just polish each moment and hope that it shines My life is a mess but I guess that it's all mine Life is a mess, it's imperfectly fine We've all got regrets and they stay close behind Polish each moment and hope that it shines My life is a mess yeah my life is a mess

Love is a mess Yeah love is a mess Yeah love is a mess It's imperfectly fine No one is as happy as they seem online Love is a mess Yeah love is a mess Yeah love is a mess It's imperfectly fine Just polishing moments and hoping they shine If we we got a do over, we would get it so right There's no sense in squandering the hindsight I'm afraid to let go, been holding on way too tight Know you won't leave, thinking that you just might I Invited houseguests, resentment and envy Serving drama, make sure we got plenty Playing trouble til we're saying sorry Two player couples therapy on the Atari Love is a mess Yeah love is a mess Yeah love is a mess It's imperfectly fine No one is as happy as they seem online Love is a mess Yeah love is a mess Yeah love is a mess It's imperfectly fine Just polishing moments and hoping they shine Words are loaded weapons, fire is unfriendly Sticks and stones hurt, but the right verbs would end me Controlling every nerve, because perfections trendy I'm not perfect or wire, won't stay where you bend me Minds are just an attic, filled with insecure haunts Take out all the static, nothing left here to flaunt Our love is traumatic, typed in italic font I must be an addict, it's the only thing I want If we got a do over, we would get it so right

Break this team Can't even wake this dream Not any petty scheming Could ever take away from me So go fuck yourself I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be You got close to me, you thought I was toast and ghosted me It's plain to see, even for me, that you're a fuck up Can't believe, I held the key Cuz you're too stuck stuck up I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be And you won't receive a single note I wrote for free I got bread I'll be spreading jam, while you spread hate Go ahead, push your scam Cuz you're too late Break this team You can't even wake this dream Not any petty scheming Could ever take away from me So go fuck yourself You're exactly where you're supposed to be You got close to me, you thought I was toast and roasted me It's plain to see You're at your worst You're really broke up Can't believe Eating your words Has got you choked up I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be And you won't receive, a single note I wrote for free I got bread So I'll be spreading jam, while you spread hate Go ahead Push your scam Cuz you're too late Break this team? Can't even wake this dream Not any petty scheming Could ever take away from me So go fuck yourself Blood flows Onto your pillow All the pain From quitting on yourself Blood flows Onto your pillow Made a trade To hurt instead of help Now you're in hell

Been sipping on Mercury Been sipping on Mercury Been sipping on Mercury Sucking on lead All out of flinstones Taking kill pills instead Been sipping on Mercury Been sipping on Mercury I sprouted these roots Keep me grounded in bed Did it all by the book How am I not dead Sipping on Mercury While I space to Rings of Saturn Burning moon rocks with the sun Til I can't repeat the pattern I was toasting with the stars Totally fine with all the hazards Yet my biggest mistake so far Was ever believing that I even mattered Sipping on Mercury While I'm sucking on some lead Gotta leave earth urgently But I can't seem to get out of bed There goes the clock I'll just pretend I never heard it I wished these walls could talk My wish came true, they said I'm worthless Been sipping on Mercury Been sipping on Mercury Been sipping on Mercury Sucking on lead All out of flinstones Taking kill pills instead Been sipping on Mercury Been sipping on Mercury I sprouted these roots Keep me grounded in bed Did it all by the book How am I not dead Never as planned Rapidly crash land Blow my brains through my cranium Breaking down, I really needed break throughs (Never as planned) Take me out cuz I'm way too afraid to (Rapidly crash land) Breaking down, I just can't seem to grow strong I haven't felt love for myself in so long I can't tell but this might be my last song

I tried to erase your worries, but you used permanent ink And I once had room for both our pain, then the room began to shrink And I said I'd be your lifeboat, then we both started to sink So I hope you don't need saving just as much as you think Take my hand we can both drown in the mire Tell me every secret, I'll be sure to wear a wire We built a home, then I set that shit on fire Next time you need a fuck up, hope I'm the one you hire Won least improved prize, framed it on my shelf Made us both a bleach martini and then took a toast to our health Mediocre is my name, savage beyond help How the fuck can I fix you, I can't even fix myself I tried to erase your worries, but you used permanent ink And I once had room for both our pain, then the room began to shrink And I said I'd be your lifeboat, then we both started to sink So I hope you don't need saving just as much as you think I sheltered you from an outside I could not keep out Cut the pain off at the source but then it took another route Thought I would make you happy now I have my doubts Are you better knowing me or are you be better off without Actions expensive, good intentions are free I'm the drop of acid that pollutes entire seas Been growing branches, but I planted berries How can I help you, I can't even help me I can't even help me I tried to erase your worries

I hate being alive I'm so fucked up, kept up at night All these problems that l can't survive And why should I Why should I Yeah I don't ever want your help Why would I need it, I can hurt myself I'm so defeated, think I'm gonna melt I'm lost in hell You must be Lucifer Told me that you love me but I don't believe an ounce of it Got the ground above me, guess I just needed more counseling Told me that you love me as your drowning out my floundering I think it's kinda funny when I looked for you I found nothing I looked for you and found I looked for you and found I looked for you and found And I found nothing Something time will never heal These dreams I had were never real I picked my poison, broke the seal Be using til I never feel, yeah I hate being alive I'm so fucked up, kept up at night All these problems that l can't survive And why should I Why should I Yeah I don't ever want your help Why would I need it, I can hurt myself I'm so defeated, think I'm gonna melt I'm lost in hell You must be Lucifer Told me that you love me but I don't believe in fairy tales Got the ground above me, why's this coffin got so many nails Said you love me for second it meant everything Think it's kinda funny when I looked for You I found nothing I looked for you and found I looked for you and found I looked for you and found And found nothing

My bodies quitting on me I feel so heavy, I'm almost ready Hear spirits calling me home Turn up my headphones And downward spiral My mind is heckling me Mocking my choices and disappointments Confined I'm setting me free We're done with remorse Let's go be a corpse Once I leave, I will never be back Roll me up In a sheet bury me next to my dad No one believed, guess they were stating facts Thanks for the help, I'll be refunding myself Demons in my head Cuz they don't see that I'm the devil I make music for the dead They say it's on another level I lay bleeding in my bed Always speeding through the red Lost the meaning when I keep repeating everything I never said Demons in my head They're turning me into an angel Making music for the dead Cuz I know loneliness is painful I lay bleeding in my bed Always speeding through the red Life is fleeting I just keep repeating everything I should have said

You're so useless you just sit there like a lemon Should be red beet Whine so much why don't you make it your profession It's a mystery All excuses, slowly wasting precious seconds Stuck on repeat You're so useless, you just sit there like a lemon Get on your feet You're so useless, you just sit there like a lemon How do you sleep Go ahead and use your pity as a weapon Mister misery You're so useless, you just sit there like a lemon Should be red beet Whine so much, why don't you make it your profession It's a mystery All excuses, slowly wasting precious seconds Stuck on repeat You're so useless, you just sit there like a lemon Get on your feet

Say I'm not shit Tell me what I don't know Say I'm toxic Tell me what I don't know Say that I'm fake Another word for that's faux Why do I ache That I don't really know You'll judge a book by it's cover But you can't read me, I'm under covers Time to get up again Time to grow up again Time to get up again But I'm rolling over Say I should quit Tell me what I don't know But I won't quit That's something you don't know Could someone lift Me out of this black hole Why am I sick Cuz you broke my soul You'll judge a book by it's cover But you can't read me, I'm under covers Time to get up again Time to give up again Time to fuck up again So I'm rolling over

There's no where else that we can go from here We are stranded by ourselves, facing all fear Been thrown away from a place held so dear Now it's raining out, we're crying out, yeah it's pouring Was always looking for a place to call home But we are so valueless, and it's no free world Can't find our way and now it's starting to snow We are bit by the frost, lost in thought of a dreamworld The grass is greener on the other side I'm always lying to your tearing eyes Maybe someday the stars they will align Right on time for both of us I know someday the sun will start to shine And everything will suddenly be fine Maybe someday the stars they will align Right on time And for us

Another day another date I don't know where I am Another stage in outer space, no wait, I'm in Japan It's midnight I just got sick mid flight Try to get some sleep but damn these seats are too small to Another day we're on our way inside this smelly van I'm so afraid the smell will scare away our many fans It's midnight I just lost a fist fight Looking at my phone and thinking wish I could call you Looking at my phone and thinking wish I could I wish I could I'm wide awake, it's your birthday The morning isn't far Baked you a cake with candles brighter than a million stars It's midnight I'm not leaving this time Bought so many presents, can't believe that they're all new I drove myself down broken avenues into the dark She said that I'll love you no matter who or what you are It's midnight I throw out my disguise Pick up all the pieces, find out who they belong to It's midnight I just lost a fist fight Looking at my phone and thinking wish I could call you Looking at my phone and thinking wish I could

Someone told me I suck You better quit it now, give it up You'll never be e e nough But you know I got my chin up Cuz don't let a number go breaking your spirit Does a tree fall even if you don't hear it Can't please everyone, just be yourself, just be yourself I got icy hot on both my wrists from playing guitar Yeah some days I just can't put it down Yeah I got icy hot on both my wrists, it's better than track marks Guess I'm just a guitar playing clown Someone told me I'm lame And all my songs sound the same I said I saw your mom, I came I do whatever I want, fuck face I don't hear people with nothing to say Or leave a gatekeepers gate in my way Don't let a hater go ruining your day Plugin and play I got icy hot on both my wrists from playing guitar Yeah some days I just can't put it down Yeah I got icy hot on both my wrists, it's better than track marks Guess I'm just a guitar playing clown

These Prison bars Thought I was sharp, then fell flat hard These prison bars Pain you can't measure, mental harm You tugged my heart strings, pulled them off Picked me up to watch me fall Dug a whole to rest me there I've got no more notes to spare I hate guitar, I hate my soul Gave up on both, 8 months ago I braved the scars and fading hope Lay torn apart, missing home I hate guitar, I hate myself Mind who I tell, nobody helps A shooting star, a wishing well This broken hearts empty shell Don't be mad at me Cuz I'm giving up No apology Just for being honest All the misery Now I'm getting nauseous End my suffering Just like you promised There's our history I'm not digging up There's our enemy Slowly gaining on us All the victory Everything it cost It's like I'm losing my light in the darkness Writing hurts, even just a small notation Every verse won't hit impossible expectations Write your own song, by yourself Hit one note wrong, I will tell Now immune to all your doubts Not out of tune, I've tuned you out I hate guitar, I hate my soul Gave up on both, 8 months ago I braved the scars, the fading hope Lay torn apart, missing home I hate guitar, I hate myself Mind who I tell, nobody helps A shooting star, a wishing well This broken hearts empty shell Don't be mad at me Cuz I'm giving up No apology Just for being honest All the misery Now I'm getting nauseous End my suffering Just like you promised There's our history I'm not digging up There's our enemy Slowly gaining on us All the victory Everything it cost It's like I'm losing my light in the darkness Prison bars These prison bars
