Ascending 01:57
As I ascend towards the sky, can I look back and say I'm fine? As I ascend from this house, will I know that what I've done will be treasured? Did I make an impact? Did I make you proud? Have I done all I can? Is the end truly the end? (I know that my existence will fade, but on that day will my shadow remain the same? Will it leave in the same way that my empty body decays?) I have lost my faith in the planets colliding. There will be no extravagant sound. The world will remain bitter and cold.

Shards 03:45
The plaster cries from the cracks on my skin - The need of burns deep within. I've done all i can in the face of misery, If i do this deed please set me free. (I never wanted to be what you wanted me to be) And i guess there's the point, i've always tried to make. (I never wanted to be what you want of me) And god, have i craved just a little adjustment, but every time I try to adjust It'll always bring me back to them; To that house with the doors all shaped and contorted to welcome me, And i know, this is home. And i know, all the things that i did when i was young, But this is, this is home. (These shattered pieces in my mind, and these shattered people in my life) Cos I remember what it felt like when things used to be okay, (I thought maybe i could get away from home) but now it's getting hard to know that things aren't gonna get better for days.

You slip right through the cracks in this hideout, With added ease from your spineless back. And you're transparency won't pass, cos I can see your hollow, but fighting me won't soothe the pain in the lies you swallow. To the man in the middle Don't you dare speak my name I've come so far but learnt that nothing else matters And that there's no point to try I want to grow just to feel remorse But the cracks will show that its all too old. You slip right through the cracks in this hideout, With added ease from your spineless back. When I get out of this there will be a masquerade, Of escape from manipulation and finally time to grow. I felt a pulse on the back of your neck, beating out of time and creating a false intention And all I wanted to be was something where my friends would love me And it gets so hard to see time evolve the ones we used to care for. Your judging eyes and your aching heart, (Spineless) Your hatred and lies; It's breaking me. (Spineless)
