HUNTED, HAUNTED
03:06
|
|||
|
hunted to the heartbeat of disaster
ignorance is all you've ever known
haunted to the end of all your knowing
stabs in the dark
i'm with you thru the longest nights.
in your shadow when you've lost your way.
lock me in and throw away the light.
distant laughter is it made of pain?
thinking i'm the only one you hate.
thinking i could never be the same.
obvious you've got a broken heart.
wish i had the key to make it start.
kingdom come to terms with emptiness.
hope you fall in love and come home to an empty nest.
flew the coop without a scoop to fill the hungry soul.
sold my body to the engine fueling nature's end.
basically i'm on the move i got a lot i've got to choose instead of
waiting for a sign from you that tells me where to die;
dedicate this mess to all the gremlins and their guests approaching home
but i got less than nothing beats inside this breast.
dangle from the strings i hold my breath a song for you to choke on
please believe the text when its the only lesson left.
pray for rain in solitude and snow will mix with blood
before the secrets of the jury meet the scythe
must be embarrassing livin' a lie
sociopath with a gun at your side
cryin' alone but the smile you hide from the
fuzz in your ears and the static rewind
saving your state so you relive the pain
over and over you backup your brain
magnet to wipe all that feeling away to pretend
you're the same at the end of the day
suffer in your beautiful solitude
call me when you lost all that magnitude
i'll be on the clock killin' everything
you'll be at the dock with an empty ship
sailing away at the end of the day
fall off the edge of the world like you said
nothing to prove 'cause there's nothing to gain
hope you can escape your head

SUFFERING IN THE SUN
03:16
|
|||
|
every little thing you say is a subterfuge
you were never here for me, when i gave my life for you
giving up on getting back to a life lived true
it was always plain to see there was never room for two
take your time, have your fun
suffering in the sun
i know you can't survive on anger alone
i relate to your heart
i am your counterpart
irony, you can keep everyone but me
tell another lie to me, i will act the fool
devils dancing on your tongue, elephants can't fill this room
names are nothing more than chains and you chained me well
take it back before you leave, just don't drag me through your hell
desolation serves the strong as the world decays
irritation breaks the weak as they'll never find their way
take your time, have your fun
suffering in the sun
i know you can't survive on sadness alone

I WANT TO BURY YOU
03:45
|
|||
|
i am silence, stolen silk pressed to your pursed lips
gloss across my last words as they stain glass
milk poured down my throat and i swallowed every last drop
i was the iron sights, bragging rights for carpet bombs
delightful in your tomb
that crown of thorns
thine will be grieved so
no devil dapper horns can blow judgement
no deadlier than poison
i want to bury you
that way i can feel your desperation
as you struggle to fight the dirt
hands tied behind your back
i want to bury you
that soil you so love filling your mouth
as you attempt to gasp for air to no avail
i want to bury you
where no one else can find you
for a reason only i know
a secret perfectly kept
and i can bury you
and a shovel is not hard to come by
why resist, why reject this impulse

PERSONAL HELL
03:14
|
|||
|
blades of glass holding pain inside all of us shattering
TV screens, who are you to believe in this emptiness?
turn it up, subterfuge to ignore what you could have been
jealously stuck outside of a life you can't end
here's a solution, trap yourself in a cell
open your eyes now, it's your personal hell
who
holds
the key
to you?
here's a suggestion, lie down
all of your weapons
find yourself
blades of glass holding pain inside all of us shattering
(trap yourself in a cell)
tv screens - who are you to believe in this emptiness?
turn it up, subterfuge to ignore what you could have been
trap yourself in a cell
jealously stuck outside of a life you can't end
(it's your personal hell)

NEVER DIE
04:33
|
|||
|
never die
no i will never die
no you will never die
no we will never die
sky fall, sunset, sea breeze, the swaying leaves
sky fall, the sunset, the sea breeze,
the swaying leaves say let's become the tallest tree
this life we lived in harmony
it's swaying down - dying inside me
blind to my feelings i unsheathe a blade to strike down
our love's fatal blow
your love was killing me so slow, it's going down
restart the cycle
blind to my nature i unsheathe a blade to strike down
my love's fatal blow
my love was killing you so slow, it's going down
let's end the cycle
silenced in the coffin of my feelings
arbitrary leftovers of love
static in my heart, the falling cards revive every thought
sky fall, the sunset, the sea breeze,
the swaying leaves say let's become the tallest tree
this life we lived in harmony
it's swaying down - dying inside me

REBORN
02:51
|
|||
|
i will be reborn from your violence
fading through the seams of the known
i will be reborn on the surface
drinking from your lips, drinking as you drown
give me all you got, now i need it
monsters in my body
tear you all apart, with the holy reapers in my heart
give me all you got, now i see it
all i'd ever want
you aren't worth the paint on the ceiling
time to eat your heart
(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
i will be reborn from your violence
i will sacrifice plenty
you will be disposed of in due time
you will find yourself empty

TIME
02:36
|
|||
|
silence, hunger, my love, purpose
time, as you keep on asking why,
passing like the falling leaves,
us without a doubt it seams:
tearing them apart.
cry, let your hands cover your eyes,
no more sight for soaring wings,
molting angels tend to scream,
when the demons start to
pray here at the altar to the
dead god meeting slaughter and
i know you, gonna chokehold till
the red fills every voidhole.
patience is a virtue and i know it's gonna save you when it
sinks in to your thick skull that my hunger lives inside you
silence, say not your real name
hunger, that's all you need
my love, eternal bondage
purpose, that's all you bleed
dead on arrival, hunted to pieces, that's all you'll ever be
slowed-down and reversed, time is a circle, balance out everything
i take the best parts, seamstress of false starts, stuck in the room with me
just try to struggle, i'll turn the clocks back, time is captivity
mine on departure, agent of hunger, that's all i want from you
hastened and tongue-tied, blindfolded android, do what you're told to do
covered in bite-marks, prey as your lifework, free from the servitude
you are my effigy, burn like the rest of me
burn like you're part of me

EYE TO EYE
04:42
|
|||
|
tried and true, give me to another you
this time i'll find contradictions inside
order, chaos
pleasure, payoff
old and new, i lift the lock to find beneath
a word, your name. you're the same
parched and bloodless these long needles stuck
on intake they moan like nothing left to give without rest
you could play this game for days lost in the forest
keep it running in your mind, emulated slavery
in service to the technology you once built by hand
i cared so much they named me after that dying sentiment
on garbage pickup day i laid myself in the dumpster just to see
where the cats go when they break their necks against the cabinet door
old and new, tried and true
you and me. never see
EYE TO EYE / YOU MUST DIE
LET ME GO / NEVER SHOW
find your inner child, let that tiny heart grow
leave all this behind, i will let you know
as you break down again you feel it clawing out
the necessary pain that allows the world to continue to turn
raw and helpless and disorganized, you believe in order
the futility of utility sinks deep into your skin
deathbed freezer and you live forever
lie down for me and let me send you there
a future you're forced to work again
now paying off the resurrection debt
i'm speaking an unfortunate tongue
that feeds you all those lies you sung
what about when there's else left
counting on a turning world to keep you
dying on your deathbed
silence, torture
hostage, freedom
tight and loose, fate and truth
light we hold, noose unfold

END OF HUMANITY
05:40
|
|||
|
TIME - I - TIME - I
forfeit your soul, come to terms
without faith, bleeding
bloodstains left dripping down
snow setting in our mouths
living yet rotting bodies
rational minds uncopied
end of humanity
i'm rising though i'm broken
these are the terms for freedom
setting the new blood in motion
TIME - I - TIME - I
TIME, all rusted over
I, have found my signs and wonders
uncouple the tides, moonset in your eyes
moistening gates, souls all left unclaimed
WE ARE THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA
WEAPONS FROM GOD, ANGELS MEANT TO KILL
I, TILDELTA TRIQUETRA HOLD THE SWORD
CUTTING THE PATH TO THE DARK ABYSS
bloodstains left dripping down
snow setting in our mouths
living yet rotting bodies
rational minds uncopied
end of humanity
i'm rising though i'm broken
these are the terms for freedom
setting the new blood in motion
TIME - I - TIME - I

AWAY, CARRY ME AWAY
05:26
|
|||
|
near the end of days in this endless space
carry me away, somewhere far away.
if you fall asleep you're one of us
and it always seems you're at a loss
if you open up, i'll make you whole!
relinquish your soul, and you'll pay the toll
alter ego, break the surface, carry me out
alter ego, sink into the dark abyss
carry me out, carry me across the end of days
alter ego, sink into the dark abyss
question all that comes, darkness answer all.
light will fade away, carry me away.
step inside the chrysalis, guaranteed you'll swing and miss
all misfortune and a fist
unlock all the doors for me, then release the final key
prison for my enemy,
umbilical american, rusted down and meaningless
salted earth and symmetry
rhythm is a part of it, beating down the drums of death
unconscious illiterate
whoa, i've got the villain flow. i've trapped you in my zone
i froze you like sno-cone, and now you'll never know
the purpose of your life, i made you all my wives
and left you out to dry all the clothes i came inside, no
i don't need more to do, so sit back and eschew
all the pain i'm chewing thru 'til i get my hands on you
and you bend until you
break! sink into the fake. how long's it gonna take.
to make you face your fate. stay with me till it ache.
a house is not a home. if cruelty is shown.
in every passing glance. and every circumstance,
i'll test the formulas. on pigeons and their doves.
the poison meant to sear. so nature never heals.
and no you never hear the thoughts i mean to share.
you only hear the dark. the hungry and the scared.
let me let you in, spewing demons with their masks,
frothing nonstop with the eyes rolling naked in the park.
breathing fire like my scales, shining armor like you scared
pining uselessly for where afterimages ain't clear.
blink, i strike twice, lightning sears, i'm high-price,
soothing tears i play nice, licking wounds i please right,
in your dreams i sleep tight, in your dreams i end lives,
picking fights with me is clearly how you learn to pay the price
at the end of days find my resting place
dig me up and we
can go far away.
carry me away.

LOVE IS TRULY NO EXCUSE
06:27
|
|||
|
still breathing, torn away,
lost everything that makes sense when set aside
still yearning, cast away,
found many things that lift you and carry you away
love is truly no excuse, time will hand you solid proof
let your lovers find their depth, save instead your only breath
clench your teeth and grind away, stay silent in your decay
giving up, no more today, and i will find my own way
given countless quantum lives in all of these worlds
you would always make the same mistake, all clock's hands at midnight
if i had another day to change the way this game plays, the story ends
then all our hopes and dreams collide
give up on your own, i don't need to see through this darkness
now, show me all the hearts you crushed and souls you never knew,
you gamble with your life and love and lose it all the time, so accept
all you earned is nothing to me
love is truly no excuse, find the time to live your truth
picking up all our pieces and we continue to exist
still leaving, faster now
toss everything that caused harm to you aside
still waiting for the nest
to build itself around you, and let us come to rest

DUSK AT LAST
04:38
|
|||
|
tongue tied, everything stays inside
but why do you lie and why do you believe
anything you say to yourself
in the dark when i leave
i'm not here to be anything for you
i'm not here to play all these games with you
i'm not here to sing any song about you
i don't want to hear any regrets now
...hunted, haunted...
settled in the throes of evolution, dignity so often overlooked
sharpening the point, of all these lessons taught by the hurt
you don't need to be anything for me
you don't need to play all these games with me
you don't need to sing any song about me
you don't need to hear any regrets now
