I (Ache)
02:47
|
|||
Aching for your rusted eyes
And your soft pierced lung
taking back just one word
While swallowing the concrete.
I've spent a fortune on
The liquid fallen from your eyes
So build up this tower high
And let it reach the moon

II (Alone)
04:29
|
|||
Paint me black,
Blacker than the
Ocean's deeps
Absent like a
Heart in a fiend's chest.
Watch your dreams
Change into a new enemy,
Cower at the likeness
Between you and me.
Two gold plates
Wedged between my brain,
And if you say I'm proud
Then let vanity consume me.
Two silver rings
Wrapped around my neck
And if you say I'm loathed
Then let your hate consume you.
I'll stand behind you in the
Shadow of greatness you have
Shaped and formed from all of the
Desires to vanquish the light,
And bottomlessness of night
And the heavy handed drinks
And the hopeless empty thoughts
In the art of being alone.

Bury Me
05:49
|
|||
Describing nothing
with endless words
Arbitrary things
made to seem like truth.
Walking into the wind
and away from you,
I chose this
aberrant path
What do you deem substantial?
am I enough to hold on to?
Bury me in the basement,
beneath the things that we had left
to destroy themselves
over all the time that we were gone.
Forgetting what it’s like
to have a clear head
Lost in the murk,
wading through time
Let it carry you
Into the deeps
I’m no longer
hoping for honesty.
What do you deem adequate?
Will I be enough to hold on to?
Bury me in the basement
beneath the things that we had left
to destroy themselves
over all the time that we were gone.
gone, gone.

Shared Skeleton
04:56
|
|||
The light falls on her
So elegantly,
Her last words to me,
We're like a banshee's call
Molten emotions
Seem to seep from my core
I wanted this love to destroy my life.
Let's move away
From all the noise,
Try to mend the bones
Of our shared skeleton.
We can't outrun
This realization
I wanted this love to destroy my life.
You try to spit on my face,
I imagine you spitting on my grave.
You say I'm just a piece of garbage,
So I thought about throwing myself away.
Don't look down my horizon

Save Me From The Truth
04:25
|
|||
I hate perfect men
now that
I feel like an obsolete human.
Getting nauseous on a bus
because
a dead animal
reminded me of my mortality.
Sun burnt skin
In disguise
from the darkness
I keep inside.
Even my shadow is ugly
to me.
Decisions that haunt my dreams
and seep
into my empty thoughts
at day
save me from the truth
that I want to hide away.
Hunting for
crucial lies
to form a doorway
I can wait behind.

Earth
07:51
|
|||
We played in the light
turned red from our blood.
I had three dreams
that night you left.
I'll drag you down to hell
after I'm done
praying in your temple.
I'll search the caves in your photographs
for all of the gems that you've
hidden to save yourself.
White smoke cuts the earth
and dusk sets in.
The cellar is cold
so our hands can touch
Heat drips from out of your mouth
to fight against
the chemicals of logic.
Mountains distract me from all of the screaming as time seems to
stand still and
stay quiet.
I was trapped in a dream
of blind and pointless anger.
I was caught up in my head
to escape the present.
Are these creatures alive?
hiding in my conscious.
Take me back to the time
when I was never wrong.

Illusion
03:02
|
|||
Everything is a wandering face,
vaguely familiar but fading
by your daily facade.
The last illusion of me.
Please hold on to my waning youth,
I seem to lose it all the time.
everyone will yell goodbye
The last illusion you'll see.

Doused
06:56
|
|||
I was terrified
of the dark and empty waters.
They climb the shore,
my sandcastle falls
I spent my youth
hiding from you
and drowning in a dream,
my eyes covered by a shroud.
My heart is a doused sun
clinging on to life
but in time it will die
just as long as
I remain
tethered to the fears
I have buried inside.
Anchored in place
at the bottom of the ocean.
A gasp, a deadened cry,
and the vanishing light.
I feel the monster
Hanging over me
And I stand in his shadow
As I write this song.
My heart is a doused sun
clinging on to life
but in time it will die
just as long as
I remain
tethered to the fears
I have buried inside.
Sinking through life
Realizing now
The only thing
I know is that
I am drawn to
bygone things
maybe just to find
someone I can
be myself with.
