Lyrics | Vicious Cycles: Welcome

“Alter Ego”

So sick to see

What has taken me

I have changed my identity

Sufficiently, medicating me

No therapy

It’s effects are crippling…

BROKEN KNEES

This hate I breathe

Suffocating me

Controlling everything

Consistently, won’t let go of me

This wasn’t what you were supposed to see…

BROKEN DREAMS

(I’m not who I claim to be…)

I’m such a spiteful fuck… (I know)

I just hate this side of you

I just hate the sight of you

This obsession with all of this pain

Incisions becoming all the same

Why must I ache for another taste?

This wasn’t who I wanted to be…

This obsession with all of this rage

Underlying feelings hide in place

Why must I always give them away?

I wasn’t who I claimed to be…

“Knock Yourself Out”

All that you see is all that you get

Life’s a cabaret

It’s everything that you expect

How compelling and so riveting

You own this place, I’m just visiting

You have a right to all the things in life

Step all over others, this isn’t their time

Everyone is insignificant

This is your world, I’m just living in it…


You never ever had to lift a finger

Everything just came natural to you

But self-entitlement is all that I see

That is bleeding, bleeding through


(This is all for you…)

Go ahead and take what you want

Go ahead and grab what you need

We exist just to be

You’re the most important one

Go ahead and have it your way…

Knock yourself out

So tell me…

What do you see? (When you sleep…)

What do you see?

(Please tell me)

“Truth Be Told”

All of your empathy is lost on me

Compared to all that I have seen

Pleasure in the form of a tragedy

Standing just to fall so silently

No more will I wait

No more will I sit on by

Watching the lights fall

Down from the sky

I’m so sick and fucking tired now

Moving on without ever knowing how

No more ‘Sorry’s to another living soul

Cup is overflowing, but I see half full

It’s just a phase, so I’ll wait until it’s done

Empty spaces everywhere

Just to find the one

Truth be told, it’s kind of like a joke

I won’t hold my breath as you start to choke

Speak your mind

Come on now

Don’t you be shy

WOULD YOU HAVE TOLD ME THE TRUTH

COULD YOU JUST PLEASE SPEAK YOUR MIND

…what did you say?

(You know what I said…)

All that I say,

Is all that I see

And all that I see,

Is all that I hear

And all that I hear,

Is all that I know…

But truth be told, that’s just how it goes…

“Crisis Averted”

Every time I try

To run and hide

You pull me back

Deeper inside

Make no mistake

Lay down your pride

You can’t be afraid

To pick a fight

All the bets are off, 

And out of spite

Nothing left to say,

To pass the time

Crisis averted.

Just write it all off, like a bad dream…

“Same Story, Different Page”


(“No, it wasn’t worth it…”)


Turning the page once again

(And this seems like it never ends…)

Drifting far from the dawn

(Can’t believe we’ve come this far)

Everything and everyone is now gone

(And I know that it’s all my fault)

And nothing has changed

Same old story, just a different page

It was all so blurry…

Those words on the screen

But they’ve disappeared in the shadows

Hiding behind the screams

It was all so tempting,

With just one look that you gave

Although it was never worth it

Those plans that we made

Completely frozen

I am so numb now

It is all over and done

No more steps to take

Starting back at one

Simple tattered words all across a blank sheet

Everything is dirt now

Underneath our feet

Simple tattered thoughts all across a blank screen

All that we were hoping for remains to be unseen

What is the purpose - for us,

To keep failing like this?

On we go again,

Another step into the abyss

No words spoken

But the messages we never forget

But the ending is still the same

Same old story just a different page

Oh my god

I wish I was done…

I am done reading you

(I wish I was done)

(I wish I was)

“One Last Time”

“Spin the wheel now, one last time

With no more tears, you will not cry

So sit in there, dying inside

No chance of a suicide…”


I remember everything you ever said

Every single word,

And everywhere that it led

All the lies that we were spoon fed

Potential promises that were never ever kept

All of this time that we have no spent

Tried so hard, but it’s all unfortunate

All our futures looked so bright up ahead

Such a shame how we were all misled

(And I still don’t get it…)

What was so special about me?

Could you please explain what no one else could see?

So close, like its almost meant to be

Seasons change, and everything leaves

What has lead me to this?

What has lead me to you?

The begging, the pleading

And no one’s receiving 

So how deceiving, 

Is it to know that hope that we’re retrieving,

Is none too pleasing?

Digging in deeper and deeper,

And deeper and even deeper

Never the reason,

Or never the season,

So it’s never treated

All the attempts just end up dispensed

But no amends are falling past tense

And it all out depends, in the end

Symptoms of life with only surprise

So justified

No more disguise

To redefine and you’ll realize…

This is my choice

It will always be my choice.

Everything comes,

And everything will go

It will never make sense

And you’ll never fucking know

All the years will pass

And all the tears will fade

You will never understand

As we go our separate ways…

So now I’ll try

To say goodbye

One last time…
