More poetic than you could imagine
The infinite end, playing in my head
I remember the last time, I tasted this dread
Happiness is manufactured
I want this feeling to be captured

I Thought I Was Healing
02:53

It all started with a mark, a stain
Left by you
An infectious disease
Deny it, deny it, you know it’s true
Guilt rushing through your veins
It’s all wrong, who’s to blame
Build these walls around me
Keep me out, watch me fall
Keep spreading this disease
Bring down the weak, to their knees
Hold me under, hold me under
Let me think about what I’ve done
As I let the air escape my fucking lungs
Consumed, by the white smoke
Left to the side, left to choke
Done nothing to deserve this feeling
For a moment I thought I was healing (healing)
Hold me under, hold me under
Let me think about what I’ve done
As I let the air escape my fucking lungs
Consumed by the white smoke
Left to the side, left to choke
Left to, left to choke
Done nothing to deserve this feeling
For a moment I thought I was healing (healing)
Leave me, to decay within these walls
Leave me to be the echo, in these halls

Dead, I should of left you that way
I stayed around, even prayed
Despite the impact you had made
Long before I knew
The fractured lies, half truths
I was the one to save you
Despite my efforts it was made perfectly clear
You were fading away you forgot how to fear
But my selfish ways wanted to keep you here
I could see it in your eyes, death was near
You won’t be buried
Took you home fixed your wounds
Mend your bones paid your dues
Took you home fixed your wounds
Mend your bones paid your dues
Stronger than you’ve ever been
Leave the dying to starve and weep
Emotions not retained
Recovery never came
Despite my efforts it was made perfectly clear
You were fading away you forgot how to fear
But my selfish ways wanted to keep you here
I could see it in your eyes, death was near
You won’t be buried
You turned around bit the hand that feeds
You don’t need me now you’ve found the light that beams
Overthrone, creator eats the dust
Left to fade away and decay like rust
You won’t be buried, you'll be burned alive
I should've never let you survive.

Living, living in me
Doors always open
No need for keys
Don’t wanna stitch the wounds
Just watch me bleed
On hands and knees
Lick up the sweat
Lay your hands on me
Make me feel this
Oh Otis, living in me
Outlive and control me
Addicted to the pain
Fuck, take it away
Inflict it, I’m addicted
Inflict it, I’m addicted
No longer feel the shame
Of being beaten and maimed
Drag me around
Oh Otis, living in me
Outlive and control me
What would I do
Without the pain
Inflict It, I’m addicted
Inflict, I’m Addicted
No need for lies I know the truth
Happiness let it burn
I’ve finally learned what all this is
Birth, life and death
Take me to the start
Love and happiness
Don’t shovel me shit I know it’s true
I’ll be nothing like you
Trapped here again is this the beginning or the end, fuck
Ottis, living in me (living in me)
Remember me
When I am dead and in your dreams
The path I walk, is mine to walk alone
Inflict it, I’m addicted
Break it on me
Make me feel something

Drowned In Lies

I stood back for way to long
I still love you but what you’re doing is wrong
What you’re doing is wrong
I walked into to all of this
I won’t stand for all your shit
Behind closed doors, not knowing what to do
Saw your weakness manifest right before my eyes
Right before my eyes
It's not okay, still haunts me
To know you lived this way
You’ve been burnt down
Right to the ground
For years you've
Drowned me in your lies You’ve been burnt down
Right to the ground
For years you've
Drowned me in your lies
Drowned me in your lies
True colors really show
Keep this between you and I
Nobody needs to know
I won’t stand for this
I stood back for way too long
I love you but this is all wrong
I stood back for way too long
Take back, every word I said
I won’t believe what I was fed

These waves they overtake me
Drifting further away from where I bleed
Who Knew
I’ll be the one to let you down
To let you down
So settled from where I have been
Never thought being by your side
Was such a sin
Left to fend for myself
In my declining health
Who knew
I’ll be the one to let you down
To let you down
Crutching on to what is left
You’ll be okay
You said it best
Who knew

The Crutch Of Failure
07:28

They are talking, talking about me
Are they empty, empty like me (like me)
Paranoid, falling back into the void (into the void)
The smoke makes it, harder to breath (harder to breath)
When I woke up, it surprised me (it surprised me)
Days pass, I continue to consume (consume)
The thing I crave, that will bring certain doom
But I can’t stop
Everyday i say i’m planning to
Am I ready to die ?
I just fear, what would be left behind
I’ll fall back on this crutch
The crutch of failure
When everything is too much
I have this crutch (this crutch)
The crutch of failure
The crutch of failure
I am floating here, floating here with you
Everything looks small
My perception is now consisted of you
The entity I thought I was
Has more meaning now as I watch above
I’ll never come down and admit my lies
I am embraced it, I fell under
I won’t run and hide
I am embraced it, I fell under
Have I learned who I am ?
The constant thought of where I’m going to
Has been washed away in this endless blue
The entity I thought I was
Has more meaning now as I watch above
As I watch above

The Burden of Purpose
by Caged Existence
supported by 6 fans who also own “As I Watch Above”
Hugely fantastic Nostalgia-core! The glory days of middle school and their simplicity crushed into aural format. Reminiscent of As I Lay Dying's early works (more than reminiscent, I'd wager AILD would struggle to produce this anymore) with their head-crashing breakdowns and jaw-smashing brand of metalcore.
