I'm confused and worried always in front of you, in front of everyone.
You were there, but now you're gone. In this sense time is lost. You were there but now you're gone, but only for the first time.
Scaring myself to death every time I write anything on paper.
You were there, but now you're gone. In this sense time is lost. You were there, but now you're gone, but only for the last time.
Endless. Senseless. Broken in my time of need. I hid it from you.
Aiko, your eyes haunt my dreams. They stare at me as I'm wandering around the city. Will I live past thirty? Or will I die? Die like the old mother fucker before me?
1 2 3 4 5 I count my drinks at the bar as I walk all alone all the way home.
1 2 3 4 5 I count the scars on my arm as I sit all alone in the darkness.
1 2 3 4 5 I count the promises I made to take you to Kagoshima.
1 2 3 4 5 I count the times your body swings from the ceiling.
Aiko, your body swings in circles. (I wanna know why)
Aiko, your body swings in circles...
1 2 3 4 5 I count my drinks at the bar as I walk all alone all the way home.
1 2 3 4 5 I count the scars on my arm as I sit all alone in the darkness.
1 2 3 4 5 I count the promises I made to take you to Kagoshima.
1 2 3 4 5 I count the times your body swings from the ceiling.
Oh!

I've been trying so hard to tell you how hard is to fall apart. From the start, I lost my heart for you. Do you remember those days in school? Where if a whole day didn't go by we drive, we die we're high. Remember what it's like to smile again in the summer. We felt one another. Remember?
I'm not leaving til we save everyone.
The toys are not who you think they are.
We've gotten so far.
Just tell me sweety what makes you happy. You are so special. You are my heaven. Make a decision. Stop playing the victim. You are so special. You are so special.
How are you?
It will be beyond the sea. Leg go, reach out, don't be afraid my dear.
I hate everything and everyone. Now I wonder where all my friends have gone. I was never really one for goodbyes. I could still see the rage in your eyes.
(......)
I don't wanna see your face anymore. You left me stranded with my heart on the floor. I really don't have much left. So i'm gonna drink myself to death. To death. Fuck!

I’m laying in the grass frozen by the forest fire in the distance a wonder how long till it gets to me and I am clinging to a tree that will soon be burning down down into the ground I wonder how long till all the food is gone
I’m clinging to a tree that will soon be burning down I don’t want to burn down on the ground and I don’t wanna die stuck in the tree carnivores are dying Herbivores are dying every one is cancer everyone is cancer
Birds are eating birds again save me from dying and burning humans are killing humans everything with a heartbeat is living everything with the heartbeat is living birds are eating birds again birds are eating birds again
Why
Survival ruins moral compass Living life is a lie being aware makes you suicidal consciousness you can never escape this bullshit
Birds are eating birds again save me from dying and burning humans are killing humans everything with a heartbeat is living everything with the heartbeat is living birds are eating birds again birds are eating birds again
Why
Why
What would I do for another life
Why
Why do I feel alive while everyone’s dead inside
Stop the lies it filters the pain inside stop the lies it filters the pain inside
Your body parts will feed me tomorrow the saw I cleanse from you feels hollow I feel nothing no fucking sorrow your blood scares me so I drain it
Birds are eating birds again save me from dying and burning humans are killing humans everything with a heartbeat is living everything with the heartbeat is living birds are eating birds again birds are eating birds again
Why
Why do I feel alive while everyone’s dead inside

Tired of working and paying my bills. Tired of living and hating it still.
25. Everything"s fine. I feel like i'm dying inside. Alone so often it's plaguing my mind.
Fuck
Stuck inside. No where else to hide. My girlfriends happy, the cats purring and I still want to die.
Power, water, 40 hours. Bothered.
Everything I whisper, I can scream.
Taxes, doctors, back pains, dollars.
Everything i whisper I can scream,
I wanted to be sober in your eyes. But I lied it wasn't the first time.
Tried forgiving family and their lies. Their toxic habits and sad lives.
Not the first time, not the first time, not the first time, not the first time!
Wonder what it's like to be sober, not fade away.
Wonder it's like to be happy, not fade away.
Wonder what it's like to have money, not fade away.
Wonder what its like to now wanna kill yourself.
Live like a lion and die like a sloth. ( watching the world go by)
LIve like a lion and die like a sloth ( Sleeping and drinking my life away)
Slow down please. Now can't stop!
Live like a lion and die like a sloth!

Who can you trust when you can't trust yourself? Would it help to get some help? Anxiety is plaguing my brain the morning after a night of mistakes. What would it take to escape this place?
Who can you trust when you can't trust yourself. I would it help to save myself before I save you? (before I save you now)
I don't wanna be responsible for making your life hell. (your life hell)
Save myself!
Before I save you. (before I save you now)
Save myself!
There's no chance for me. I wish I was born differently. Love letters you can't read.
You are all that I want. You are all I don't desire. Selfish needs put me back to sleep. I don't want my feet to touch the ground. The floor infects me.
I don't really feel like trying. (trying)
Dreaming that I killed myself last night, I held the gun to my left eye, my right eye aimed to the sky.
Punish me for living. I feel nothing. I saw you in my dreams and I thought it meant something. (thought it meant something)
Now I'm stuck in this nightmare. (nightmare)
Who can you trust when you can't trust yourself. I would it help to save myself before I save you? (before I save you now)
I don't wanna be responsible for making your life hell. (your life hell)
Save myself!
Before I save you. (before I save you now)
Save myself!
I can't see, I'm so frustrated. I fucked my body so hard, I can't sleep.
I can't breathe i'm so angry. I can't see i'm so frustrated. I fucked my body so hard. I cant sleep. I cant Sleep. (x2)
Who can you trust when the world spits blood in your face?
And who can you trust when you get fucked?
And who can you trust when they spit blood in your face?
Oh!

Orange Mathematics

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly. Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant.
