I believe I can see the future 'Cause I repeat the same routine I think I used to have a purpose But then again, that might have been a dream I think I used to have a voice Now I never make a sound I just do what I've been told I really don't want them to come around, oh no Every day is exactly the same Every day is exactly the same There is no love here and there is no pain Every day is exactly the same I can feel their eyes are watching In case I lose myself again Sometimes I think I'm happy here (Sometimes) Sometimes, yet I still pretend I can't remember how this got started Oh, but I can tell you exactly how it will end Every day is exactly the same Every day is exactly the same There is no love here and there is no pain Every day is exactly the same I'm writing on a little screen And scheduling it for 6am By the time they read it It will be past my time I am still inside her A little bit comes bleeding through I wish this could've been any other way But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do Every day is exactly the same Every day is exactly the same There is no love here and there is no pain Every day is exactly the same Every day is exactly the same Every day is exactly the same There is no love here and there is no pain Every day is exactly the same (every day is the same)

You're the smoke in my lungs Breathe you out but you come right back. You're the colour to my day Then tell me why I wanna leave again You are red and I am blue. And when I drink to get away, I will still find you. You're in my head like a perfect view When it's us against each other, it is nothing new. We just wanna go to bed, but we're afraid to sleep because if we do not talk you mean nothing to me, please tell me, tell me, oh please tell me why.. please tell me, tell me, oh please tell me why. why are things so complicated now all of a sudden you were so nice for a second for half of a moment why are things so complicated now Wish that it wasn't I always knew it would last us for more than a moment. Only time will tell the truth so tell me, Why are we still lying saying everything is cool just because we're smiling oh we’ve made a fool out of ourselves But I'd still follow you straight down to hell I will still find you. why are things so complicated now all of a sudden you were so nice for a second for half of a moment why are things so complicated now Wish that it wasn't I always knew it would last us for more than a moment.

Garbage In Garbage Out Garbage In Garbage Out Garbage In Garbage Out She Took Me Out Devastated! Revelated! Evicerated! Eliminated! Panicking Crying My favorite thing is dying While it lies beside me While it lies beside me! Garbage In Garbage Out Garbage In Garbage Out Garbage In Garbage Out She Took Me Out Who will survive? This severence It won't likely be me The pain is magnified Devoid of ways to cope Devastated Devastated! Isolated! Detonated! Mutilated! Unwraveling Dying My favorite thing is crying While it tries to save themselves While it tries to save themselves Garbage In Garbage Out Garbage In Garbage Out Garbage In Garbage Out She Took Me Out Garbage In Garbage Out Garbage In Garbage Out Garbage In Garbage Out She Took Me Out

I’m not scared I’ll do it right It won’t take long I’m done tonight Ready to go I’m a waste I have lost What a disgrace My crown jewel Is falling out Inevitable There’s no doubt I’m so tired Of fighting To my dreams I’m unabiding A lost cause This struggle Every day I crumble I’m sorry Everyone You’ll be okay You’ll move beyond I could have improved In every way It ate at me Every day This is my Potential This is my Potential

Verse 1 I'm ready to go There was so much potential But over and over it fades away I'm sorry to everyone But I just couldn't beat it And I'm just so tired all the time Shame and sadness This tightness in my chest I can't even drink it away anymore Bridge There's no catharsis I'm just catatonic Lately the only hope Comes from these deadly thoughts Chorus I could've had the world, and I did But there wasn't enough There would never be enough Focused! For awhile Driven! For awhile Disciplined! For awhile Approaching failure! Always Verse 2 When I feel the pressure I just put my focus elsewhere When I feel the pressure It's going fucking nowhere I erupt from sleep I thrash and scream The only release I have are these dreams And this pain has haunted me all this time All along Now I can't breathe a word It's fine, because they're all absurd I erupt from sleep I thrash and scream The only release I have are these dreams Bridge There's no catharsis I'm just catatonic Lately the only hope Comes from these deadly thoughts Chorus I could've had the world, and I did But there wasn't enough There would never be enough Focused! For awhile Driven! For awhile Disciplined! For awhile Approaching failure! Always Verse 3 I miss who I was but I always hated myself There's no meaning There's no meaning There's no purpose, there's no reason, there's no fight There's no way that I'm making it out alive Making it out alive Your pain and my pain are just temporary Your pain and my pain are just temporary I'm bleeding out again I'm bleeding out again I'm sorry to everyone I'm sorry for what I've done I'm sorry for giving up But it's all too much

This is it This if finally the night I perform! I emote! Smoking cigarettes! The way it has to be All these antidepressants Won’t take care of me The only thing I don’t regret Chopping down this fig tree Lights and music set Stuff for my stomach Pills are all set Keep calm, my stomach The rope is all set Stuff for my stomach Booze is all set Keep calm, my stomach I wish I had just bought a gun But this rope will get the job done Sorry, kid, you were a sweet boy Set up just to be destroyed You had such pressure for greatness Only to become just faceless The burden never got better So this is my dead letter I failed

It hurts so fucking bad! Excruciating! The pain in my chest is so real Holding back tears I’m sorry to that kid who Was so bright But I’ve failed miserably and Now I’m too far gone Please play "First Day of My Life" at my service Do not mourn long, I am not worth it I wish had the words to Convey this visceral pain It’s torturous, it’s physical It’s so fucking physical I’m sorry mom and dad You both deserved so much more I think tonight is going To get bloody! Please play "First Day of My Life" at my service Do not mourn long, I am not worth it Please play "First Day of My Life" at my service Do not mourn long, I am not worth it Contact list is taped up It’s getting dark This has to be the night By rope or by train The drunker I get the more At peace I feel I know how this book ends I can’t keep putting it off Now it’s 8:07am I overdid it I need a switch to turn it off Like a trigger I can’t do it I just want to fucking die Please play "First Day of My Life" at my service Do not mourn long, I am not worth it Please play "First Day of My Life" at my service Do not mourn long, I am not worth it
