With pockets full of pictures
Haunted echoes of grey
This noose, it tightens slowly
It’s more than I can take
Burning
Chemical
React
Visceral
Quietly, Let it cut through
And if you’re carrying curses burn them
If your skeletons crowd then break them, then break them
So see me change, expand, and breathe in life if you can
So see me change, expand, and breathe in life if you can
If you can
And in the dark
when I see sparks
illuminate the way
Burning
Chemical
React
Visceral
Quietly, Let it cut through
Quietly, Let it cut through
And if you’re carrying curses burn them
If your skeletons crowd then break them, then break them, then break them
So see me change, expand, and breathe in life if you can
So see me change, expand, and breathe in life if you can
If you can
If you’re carrying curses
If your skeletons crowd
If you’re carrying curses
If your skeletons crowd
Are you carrying curses?
Are your skeletons crowding you?
Are you carrying curses?
Are your skeletons crowding you?
And if you’re carrying curses burn them
If your skeletons crowd then break them, then break them, then break them

Epitaph
03:44

Breaking off this
Bind on my wrists
So I survived it’s just a sentiment, indifferent
Your arrival makes no difference
I’m always in the distance
Reaching out for shadows lost
Here’s the unveiling the lifeblood is changing
You stand and suffer with me
Feel my convection
My crying connection
You stand and suffer with me
Suffer with me
Suffer, Suffer, Suffer
I’m unwrapping, warped and cracking
A motion that will make you sick and strange, a forced exchange
You can hear all of the secrets that clamber to be
In your skin, in your eyes
Dulling you mind
Here’s the unveiling the lifeblood is changing
You stand and suffer with me
Feel my convection
My crying connection
You stand and suffer with me
Always in the distance
Reach for shadows lost
She who had the last laugh
Read the epitaph
Always in the distance
Reach for shadows lost
He who had the last laugh
Read the epitaph

The Sick and the Damned
03:45
|

I breathe for you
And I bleed for
I bleed for you
And I breathe for
Think of every step I walked
Think of every drop of blood I’ve tasted
Dream up every image I warped
Dream of every shadow I’ve chased and brought to...
As loud as the sky, intense as the sun
I breathe for you and I bleed for you,
Screaming like night, splintered like dreams
I bleed for you and I breathe for you
Why are we colliding now?
Why are we so sick of all?
Of all I’ve done to bring the tides to bear?
Bearing all the crosses
Dragged over and over and over and over and over
As loud as the sky, intense as the sun
I breathe for you and I bleed for you,
Screaming like night, splintered like dreams
I bleed for you and I breathe for you
I breathe for you and I bleed for you
I bleed for you and I breathe for
It feels like I’m breathing in fire and glass
And I would hold my breath
But the moment won’t pass
I
Breathe
I Breathe
I Bleed for you
over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
(Think of every step I’ve walked, think of every drop of blood I’ve tasted)
(I breathe for you and I bleed for you)
Think of every step I’ve walked, think of every drop of blood I’ve tasted
(I breathe for you and I bleed for you)
As loud as the sky intense as the sun
I breathe for you and I bleed for you
As dry as your heat
As cold as these hands
I bleed for you and I breathe for you

Lilith
04:41
|

Dredging the furnace
Of what’s left on my map
Her hands are molten but
She finds what’s intact
Sell her my secrets now
Brings more rapture than gold
Held in this heartbeat
‘till these sighs grow old
She is a fire
She is the sea
She is crashing into me
She is my blood
She is my peace
She is crashing into me
Curses crawling she is my fight
She is the torrent full of light;
tell me all that I can be
Crashing into me
True love is pushing
Bursting into new life
Made from this new earth and
To stand by my side
Step up and meet my eyes
Don’t take my hand
Take my life
You are closer to this than I can...
She is a fire
She is the sea
She is crashing into me
She is my blood
She is my peace
She is crashing into me
Curses crawling she is my fight
She is the torrent full of light;
tell me all that I can be
Crashing into me
She is a fire
She is the sea
She is crashing into me
If its elements, if its sacraments
Dying, losing, changing, moving
And these animals, ‘cause they won’t evolve
Dying losing changing moving

Uprising
03:58
|

urching into this
Second black abyss
Turns back on a whim
Time to begin
Drown all your powerful
In a truth to hold
Me? Just an open skull
Just hysterical
Fractured and pitiful,
Tryna grab a hold
Silent, never told
Pulled in by the throat
Here where it snakes around
Coils around the neck
Here where the blood gutters
Crowd round forgotten death
Here where you stand alone
In a wretched dream
Try to blot out
Hear me scream
We stand for nothing
We feel too much
Instead of holding
Destroying it all
All this will turn
All of this will turn
We stand for nothing
We feel too much
Instead of holding
Destroying it all
We stand for nothing
We feel too much
Instead of holding
Destroying it all
Suck on the chemical
Churning in your throat
Haunted by the ghost
Of a better home?
Lifeless no soul
Don’t you want more?
What could have been?
Is it just a day dream?
We stand for nothing
We feel too much
Instead of holding
All this will turn
All of this will turn
We stand for nothing
We feel too much
Instead of holding
Destroying it all
We stand for nothing
We feel too much
Instead of holding
Destroying it all
We stand for nothing
We feel too much
We stand for nothing
We feel too much
We stand for nothing
We feel too much
We stand for nothing
We feel too much
We stand for nothing
We feel too much
We stand for nothing
We feel too much

Burn
03:43
|
|||
Am I standing in focus?
Perceptions are blurred
But I could rip up the concrete if you want me to
Ravenous here, keep you close here
I’m salivating for you
I’m crucified just by your wake
I am the tide that’s set to change
I cut this open for you
This given, misgiving
Without a need to try
I fall a slave for your sight
Travel obsessive night I burn alive
All of this I am, All of this I am, All of this I am, I am for you
Ravenous here, keep you close here
I’m salivating for you
Are you face down in the rain
Or are you broken again?
I tried to keep you complete but you exploded apart
Ravenous here, keep you close here
I’m salivating for you
I’m crucified just by your wake
I am the tide that’s set to change
I cut this open for you
This given, misgiving
Without a need to try
I fall a slave for your sight
Travel obsessive night I burn alive
All of this I am, All of this I am, All of this I am, I am for you
I’m breaking
I’m burning
I’m pulled apart by wanting
The breaking, the burning, I’m pulled apart by wanting
I’m pulled apart by wanting
The breaking, the burning, I’m pulled apart by wanting
Break, Burn
Pulled apart
Break, Burn
Pulled apart

Open Ocean
03:54
|
|||
My grip grows tired from years of hanging on
An open ocean gasping off and on
With slow eroding on
Waves breaking me
Like mountains, falling into the sea
Ropes cutting in
Rips skin from me
Like giving up
Tear this away from me
From me, from me
Tear this away from me, from me, from me
In all the return, in all of the fight
In all of the thoughts that I can see
A vision of grey, a life of delay
A row of promises I can’t keep
I carry cares that repeat on and on
Exhausting me with mistakes no forgiving here at all
Like a broken heart
Sinks into me
You know I’m not who I used to be
Time tearing in
Its crushing me
But you can’t take this away from me, from me, from me
Take this away from me, from me, from me
In all the return, in all of the fight
In all of the thoughts that I can see
A vision of grey, a life of delay
A row of promises I can’t keep
Promises I can’t keep
Promises I can’t keep
Promises I can’t keep
Promises I can’t keep
Promises I can’t keep

Black and Blue
03:46
|

I’m inside out like an animal
Concise cut on the killing floor
Drag me up to the hooks
Let me hang ‘till my blood runs cold
Chewing my fingers black and blue
Trying to be closer to you
Lost in a madness
Scattered gone
Trying to find my way back home
An empty mask hangs upon the wall
I push it over my face and go
Into the black where my sirens call
And play the part they’ve been longing for
’Til my mask is worn
Until my blood runs
My blood runs cold
Chewing my fingers black and blue
Trying to be closer to you
Lost in a madness
Scattered gone
Trying to find my way back home
Way back home
Way back home
Way back home
Just a few more words, one or two things left to say,
I wish things were different and I wish that I could stay.
And as the curtains close, the ending of today,
Its crawling craving so before I turn away
Can I stay?
Can I stay?
Can I stay?
Way back home

Asylum
03:47

So if we swapped our sides
Would you take any less or?
Cutting or cold or would you show me mercy?
What if my skull it cracks?
No running no way back
What if this fantasy reanimates me?
No asylum – hospital bed
No forgiveness exists in my head
And now your vision’s black
No sight upon the track
The damage is done
Now hope Is gone
And so it comes to pass
A void that’s built to last
Breathing broken abstract
Hope is gone
Hope is gone
Is this a catalyst?
Confronting? Neurotic?
Disaster, murder or a pain that’s shifting?
What if it ricochets?
If I won’t play the game?
What if your masterpiece
Tears hooks into you?
No asylum – hospital bed
No forgiveness exists in my head
And now your vision’s black
No sight upon the track
The damage is done
Now hope Is gone
And so it comes to pass
A void that’s built to last
Breathing broken abstract
Hope is gone
Look at my face, distorted stained
And every breath is a breaking point
Look at my face, distorted stained
And every breath is a breaking point
Look at my face, distorted stained
And every breath is a breaking point
Look at my face, distorted stained
And every breath is a breaking point
And now your vision’s black
No sight upon the track
The damage is done
Now hope Is gone
And so it comes to pass
A void that’s built to last
Breathing broken abstract
Hope is gone
Look at my face, distorted stained
And every breath is a breaking point

Last One Lost
04:51
|
|||
I step one foot off, and I’m
Changing the world that I began
As I try all time stops then...
The water is deep, black, cold and I...
Fascinating as my contorting confusing stare
Is pushing back on me
Smashed upon the surface gleaming
They all sang for this...they all sang for...
And only crashing waves will write a song for you
Only breaking white will ever speak your truth
Roll under and Roll over me
Roll under and Roll over me
Roll under and Roll over me
As my back comes crooked from
Defacing this thing that I’ve become
My final throws; what have I done?
A selfish, falling, fading
This eroding, flesh and bone, mass of decay
Is tearing ten feet out
Make sure there’s no hope of holding on
They all sang for this...they all sang for...
They all sang for this...they all sang for...
And only crashing waves will write a song for you
Only breaking white will ever speak your truth
Roll under and Roll over me
Roll under and Roll over me
I swear all my pain will stop, when this broken body drops
I swear all my pain will stop, when this broken body drops
I swear all my pain will stop, when this broken body drops
And only crashing waves
And only breaking white
And only crashing waves
And only breaking white will
And only crashing waves will write a song for you
Only breaking white will ever speak your truth
Roll under and Roll over me
Roll under and Roll over me
Roll under
Roll over
Roll under
Roll over me
Roll under all for me
