My head is not my home anymore And I have no place left to hide I hear your proverb for the paranoid And I'm blinded by the noise Sinking your teeth into me, some great cosmic divinity, slowly you diminish me alone into the void Skip a life completely it was never your to take Gently headed west with a shotgun named Marcus on your back Could have been anyone or anything to me Could have been anyone or nobody to you Now I no longer have to dream of you A luxury that I could never quite afford But if the sky is gonna fall you'd better take our children home, take our children home One foot in the gutter and the other in the grave There's a lesson here to learn if I could just behave Embrace me lover desperately, my insulated void The road goes on forever with nothing but this big blue endless sky Brave men die while rats get fat Open your eyes Your violent, bitter, electric green Alone, for well it must have seemed like weeks A bastard's work is never truely done And only the strongest will survive Could have been anyone or anything to me Could have been anyone or nobody to you

Plume 04:00
Sink into you, into me, for you Give, gone, forgiven, forgotten The chain broken, the truth spoken The storm is over It was only you and I that saw the worst in us. Can you bridge the gap between our consciousness? A life of bitter meaningless I cannot understand I never raised the dead I never raised the dead for you.

Bowing at an alter of glass Vividly silent Is not how I intended To enter into this pact A clearer head would give a clearer picture The not so great escape I’ll drink from the golden chalice Stone faced till I break Though it always works It seems to make it worst And shakes loose all I had A cold sunken feeling Starts to mislead And shakes loose all I have My feet are bloodied from the tracks Turning back around gives me cold sweats Heavy breathing Lungs full of smoke I’m lead down the path in a linen blindfold Shaky hand but comforted By the fact That the Bones in my chest Don’t seem to fit And the The blood in my veins Don’t want none of it Blunt cries Nothing subtle Make it easy to believe the acclaimed Obliterate Infinite struggle You’ve smelled glory and now you got a taste In this time Word to the wise Reassess the advice Given by the one who takes your hand Let your sights blur The visions get easier to focus on When the dice rolls The moment before it lands is never too long The track bends into the unknown For where this story ends no one will know

Pilgrimage 03:25
Love it or hate it, It’s not going to change it. Locked in a box covered in chains. Shamed for her halo Cries from the depths Removed from Sunlight Existential test Deaf from the pounding Of a stressed heart Dreams of tomorrow Down to an art Too weird to live Too wired to die Too smart to fail But too dumb to try Schrodingers Cat poised to attack But not sure what it’s fighting for Alert for the worst but plagued by a curse that will paralyse

Purgatory 03:21
I should have drowned in the flood Now the life that I have is the one that I stole You're like a holy priest in a blasphemous town Where the devil takes care of his own How long you gonna swing that rope? It's a foolish man that still has hope I'm everything that I've been told Now I can't wait till we get home How long you gonna grind that axe? A burden laid on broken backs A pilgrim lost without a map So goddamn lost I can't get back I'm so tired yet I slept through the war You've got fires where there's supposed to be eyes I gave up everything I said that I was Now I worse off for what I've become You're never gonna change your mind A life that's better left behind I'm never gonna get it right And it's all my fault How long you gonna twist that knife? On borrowed time, a stolen life And drift apart like my first wife The final spark that left your eyes I should have drowned in the flood Now the life that I have is the one that I stole You're like a summer storm rolling in from the west And with it you brought the rain I was born a jealous man I lead a sheltered life but there's blood on my hands Show me there is something more I'll drink my own blood I have seen too much Keep your sorrow safe and close to your heart Show me the rebirth I'll dig my own grave Extend your broken hands Show me your shallow heart Tell there's something more I'll drink my own blood

Ten thousand years Known as the beast Till I tried to say No to the feast It’s only madness if I return Reach in to the Void Grab a drink Calm those damn nerves Dancing on the brink Bloodshot eyed, Composure aside Blind to eternity It’s only madness if I return If I knew the way Would I go easily Or drag my doubts

The Shephard 05:00
A distant light in the hall A broken hand to hold A crooked mile to crawl A single leaf to fall A place out west to go New storms for weary bones A light to guide you home A rain to wash it out Now that you're here I'm finally awake There is freedom in the knife A life beyond the blade Now that you're here in spite of you voice Your violent noise Your violent noise Hold tight my love I only love you When you're lying Hold tight my love I only love you When you're lying I always knew that you'd arrive The fever dream that I've been waiting for Like breathing life into sinking stones We don't float So hold tight, my love Hold tight my love I only love you When you're lying Hold tight my love I only love you When you're lying I always knew you'd find me here Alone at last in my electric dream Like breathing life into sinking stones So hold tight, my love
11.
I didn't fight to forget you I'm vindicated in this suffocating bliss Where lovers wait for easy lays and welcome grave to rest The rain fell a little harder so you stayed a little longer These common storms don't shake my bones Quite like you
