Reveries 05:34
lyrics

When the blur dissipates and it all comes back clear Can you confess Does the guilt still remain Have you escaped your fears Your words are heavy as stones and they will sink us all Sink us all Oblivion We are pleading Is there remorse Echos of the damned Ring from the depths of our grave Oblivion Can you show me more Than this failing world Led toward the dark by betrayals Enticing promise We fail again We see no end So eager for truth We blindly search To find nothing. Nothing but dread Veil of darkness All betrayed Blindness is our captor Sands of time shift beneath my feet Teasing forever the thoughts of escaping defeat Can't shake this feeling of regret I can't return the favor or my debt The changing weather passes through my bones Hope buried breathless Under earth under stone Veils of darkness All betrayed We fail again Eye of disaster Eye of despair My vision dead fixed stuck in a cold stare. My vision dead fixed Still and lifeless as the hope here

Slowburn 03:31

Ripping and tearing: the gnashing of teeth Every minute feels like hours: slowly dragging my feet Accusations drain the patience out of me Dredging up all of the terrors resting comfortably in me Anguish; the silence demeans every ounce of self-respect gained in honesty Slow burn; the sting of defeat These callouses remain forged in mindless conceit Despair withholding any sense of relief Mindless pursuit in negligence Slow burn the sting of defeat These callouses remain forged in mindless conceit I can't justify the darkness in my mind It rips and tears destroying all insights Crushing anger smashing all the light They won't exonerate delusions in the sky Incentivize the weak leading the blind Interrogate the deaf and paralyzed Injustice The injustice serves as payment for the deeds already done by clearing way for the unrighteous seeds planted by one Unrighteous seeds The air is filled with deception I can taste it on my tongue Cornered by turmoil Their bodies black out the sun The air is filled with deception I can taste it on my tongue Anguish The silence demeans every ounce of self-respect gained in honesty Slow Burn

Wilt & Decay 03:41

Tarnished All emotive growing numb Bit the tongue from my mouth Tore the skin from my bones Locked in from the outside Stole the hope from my hands Can't quiet the murmurs that convey I am wrong This brokenness laid waste to our legacy Our labors tarnished by soil and spite Roots of bitterness sprout through denial Producing seeds whose flowers will wilt and decay Master of terror Illuminate Shine your light upon the madness and the shame That has come to consume us all Never forgetting to pass up the blame Afraid of the transformation to fully enfold Did purging yourself of this burden add up True denial paved the way to this ignorance Laying waste to mind body and spirit The creeping thoughts of the father repressed Let the fears of the mother paralyze me Crippling thoughts of a wasted existence Desperate for silence Silence while fearing the calm Punishment for the sins of the sorrowed Was I spared from a life that I was not owed My mind is in a death grip My efforts worthless and used up The bastard son born to no one A bloodline tainted with hate and despair Paved your way and I buried my own The bastard son born to no one The well's been tainted with blood and filled up with dirt Bit the tongue from my mouth Stole the hopes from my hands

Void In Bridge & Whist 04:02
lyrics

Rid me of the weakness in my spine. I push my hand through my chest just to get it out. Breaking my ribs and destroying the flesh, only to have my hand swallowed - taken by tar. Who put this ugly inside me? Witness as it burns through my shell like the beating sun in a cloudless desert sky. It stirs inside me and I could care less about your private hell. We will all end the same way Lost in translation of life's giant riddle. Denying our demons and defying ourselves. Take away this weakness from my spine. I stumble and can't keep balance Treading so lightly with no confidence in a world that can't make up its mind. Glorified. Emulsive Being sanctified. Shapeshifter, what have you left to hide? Horrified. Repulsive being idolized. In this world where standards need not be held. Who's holding accountability? Indulging in mocking transformation. Glorified. Emulsive Being sanctified. Shapeshifter, what have you left to hide? Horrified. Repulsive being - emulsive being - idolized In this world where standards need not be held. I can't come to terms with this. You can't rewrite life as you see fit. Can't come to terms with this. You can't rewrite life as you see fit. Take the weakness from my spine. I stumble and can't keep balance. Treading so lightly with no confidence in a world that can't make up its mind.

All are affected No more or less tarnished than the ones before and after us I acknowledge these paralyzing symptoms weighing down every fractured soul Vitality dissolving Darkness intensifies within Vitality devolving Conversion of existence Fists clench upon the thorns of a rose Bound and tortured in uncertainty Stubborn does life seem Abrupt termination of beauty Liberate this hate within me I'm growing cold of these nightmares that follow me into my dreams Let me sleep in peace Flesh withers to nothing Bones turn to dust To endure such beauty Is to endure such pain Endure such pain I've spent my time a wanderer Eyeless, hungry, and numb. Trying to bury myself alive head first in my hands Color torn from true origin Colors replaced with nothing All to share the same demons All to come full circle again and again Let us sleep through and onward Sleep to ignore Flesh withers to nothing and bones turn to dust To endure such beauty is to endure such pain Dissolve, devolve

I am the dirt within your cuts The sting that denies you relief You wish me silenced, to fill my mouth with salt And end the pest that plagues you so Release me from your vile death grip Vile death grip Gasping at stagnant air I'm choking I choke on every breath I take You mock my nature I feel your prying eyes on me Like I'm a writhing snake Staring wide eyed in disbelief Disgusted. Regarding me as an insect Inching towards your plate My bastard child Do you know What demons are haunting you Have you felt the fear of all that's unknown This world is rotten Oppositions of morals divide and devour man Such hungry mouths are gnawing Hungry mouths are gnawing I've been sleeping on a bed of nails Sinking into rust For there's no rest for the wicked No one to trust It's bred within the bones Embedded deep, forever carved in stone How am I to rest at night knowing that I myself am an object of fear There's no escape from here Object of fear My blood to spill to finally warm the earth Object of fear Carry me to my final resting place A bed of nails Bastard son Do you know what demons haunt you Bastard son Have you felt the fear of what's unknown

If I found a way to bring you back, would you even want to This world just isn't meant for some and we're all to blame Brother Your lifeless sway has me curious Have found what you were looking for Lying so still at the end of your rope Sister Did the cut go deep enough to set a troubled soul free Draining out the life at your wrists I can't go where you've gone searching To where there's no coming back You put the steel to your temple And turned yourself into ash That's the sound of speeding wheels on the pavement Can you hear them singing your hymn Basic instinct has been pushed aside Expel the heavy breath of regret Abandon the light and accept the embrace of death Let go of all that hurts Shut your eyes and let me inherit the guilt Who's to blame the knife for its edge When push comes to shove and you've made up your mind Who's to blame the gun for its aim When push comes to shove and you've suffered enough You've suffered enough Dark thoughts wander when the lights go out at night Contemplate ending the pain with tunnel vision sight All it takes is one final fall From the push this world creates Life just isn't meant for some When we're all to blame We all carry a cross We all carry a burden We all suffer a loss We all suffer what's destined All it takes is one final fall From the push this world creates Life just isn't meant for some When we're all to blame

Weep for the sun in the sky It's forever abandoned us On a lonely journey of spite there is no never coming back To leave us cold and unwell To shiver in the shadows of a long dying world Pestilence led us to inherit This deserved hell Forgiveness bathes at the back of our throats Never so welcomed to desperately choke Repentance in vain Over words of guilt and shame Actions spoke so deafening Crowned in contempt Bottle in hand praying for this world to end Steering love on its transformation into hate Assuring numbing embrace Convinced it's all I've got slowly burning my bridge with god Betrayal was just more of the same Forced to take every flaw with a grain of salt My tongue has now been burned of the taste Forced to takes every flaw with a grain of salt My tongue's now has been burned of the taste Forced to take every flaw with a grain of salt Crowned in contempt Paint the world in its wrath Crowned in contempt Bottle in hand Observing with these bloodshot eyes Loves evolution into hate Assuring numbing embrace convinced it's all I've got Slowly burning my bridge with god Slit the throat of grace and pass on the only chance for redemption Our semblance of redemption Betrayal was just more of the same Forced to take every flaw with a grain salt Slit the throat of grace and pass on the only chance for redemption I hear the language that you speak but the words no more have meaning to me

Coffinless 04:44

In this life left behind I am just a damned bitter soul treading in sorrow flooded with apathy I'll search for your purpose and intentions How deep are they buried Are they skin deep Or must I dirty my hands and dig down to the bone It's not hells wrath that I've found Loveless and clueless It's not hells wrath that I've found Racing to the grave Death below and above I who walks am flesh of decay You who convinces yourself to sleep are never to wake My steadfast rock of haunting fear Oceans of tears beat against you And still you're not washed from here Roots of terror grow so deeply Time trickles on and death has his hands on me My fears are what I need most The death in you is the same death in me Distress on my face Sludge in my veins The death in you is the same death in me Take away my skin Take away my flesh All we are for now is coffin-less Fragile life is all we have in common All we are for now is coffin-less

We're all left in scorn and disbelief the thoughts of sorrow rip and pull broken heart strings Suspend my faith as I drown within my grief Alone and suffering Don't become the enemy Suspended in my faith as I drown within my grief Alone and suffering Don't become the enemy The days have come and gone I can't tell them apart This is the view I've always seen Leaving this world for an eternal sleep Darkness consumes the light Your cross to bear Shadows of doubt leaving questions and despair Questions and despair Your greed displays the gripping pull of deceit Unrelenting in your absence while we're grinding our teeth These self inflicted wounds pushed you into regret While the distance left between us refuses to relent Sinking silence Creeping death Escaping dread All you ever knew was the depth of the void Abandonment fueling the scorn This is my deathbed The grave in which I lie upon. The declination of man desperate for death Sinking silence Creeping death Escaping dread All you ever knew was the depth of the void Longing for the sense of self Dispense the thoughts Ease the pain Abandonment fueling the scorn
