Tide


I'm waiting for my sea legs to find stable ground 
My body still curls into fetal position and quakes
At the memories that brought me here
I have spent years treading water and swallowing the ocean
That I can't control when it overflows from my eyes anymore
I just excuse myself with a smile to find the nearest exit door
Unable to grasp what used to be tangible
Leaves me searching frantically 
I am constantly gathering pieces
Of what used to be me
Hoping to sew them together again
Not apologizing to anyone
For the scars the sutures leave
For the sadness that can
Out of the blue surround me 
And knowing when I smile it will be for me
Not just to make those around me
Feel more at ease.

Words Like Daggers (Trash Room lyrics)


I can hear you coming
With your words so hollow
Look into my eyes
I don't believe your lies

Bloody skin and finger nails
Your lies spoken the tall tales

Keep the wolves at bay
Ignoring all they say
They can't hold you down
You wear a fucking crown

Bloody skin and finger nails
Your lies spoken the tall tales
(Believing you could change
Hating you the same) x's 2

I am worthy 
You are nothing (build up and repeat x's)

Repenting on your knees
Won't save you from me
Look in the mirror
You will see what I see

~Amber Comber (Trash Room lyrics)


Identity (Trash Room lyrics)

I will never be 
The person you see
You've replaced
All those parts
To suit your needs
I disappear before
Your eyes
Almost too late
To realize
Chorus:
The crumbs you left
Would never satisfy me
And I won't starve
My soul for nobody

Cast your stones 
Into the abyss
The weight 
It's just holding 
You down
The truth 
Exist
If you let go of control

Chorus

Bruises fade violet to green
What you feel and what you've seen
(Your words can no longer harm me x2)

Chorus 

Repeat 1st

Silence Equals Defeat (Trash Room lyrics)


Did you think your status would exclude you
Because you look out a window with a better view
In the end you'll crawl across the floor
Begging for someone to give you more

Underneath we're all the same
Some of just won't play the game
You think your so far above 
What you call below
I feel the rage
And the fire grow

Silence equals defeat (X'3)
You will hear me scream

Your words incite 
Hate and fear
Many of us will choose
Not to hear
Your ego won't control us all
I will be around to watch you fall

Silence equals defeat (X'3)
You will hear me scream
Break
Silence equals defeat( X'3)
You will hear me scream
