Watch your tone.
The movements are under control.
Make me cold;
Cause everybody's dying alone.
You take me, untangled.
Tie me down.
You take me, untangled.
I'm falling now.
Watch me so;
You don't bite off more than you can swallow.
Take your time;
As long as you're not wasting mine.
Pour yourself into my empty trove.
I'll find you, enclosed where you've been hiding from me.
Cave in.
Blank slates; Wrapped up white lace n bone.
Corsets can't hold your breath dragged through the undertow.
Remember. Remember the night.
You stole it. You stole it right
From under my nose. In spite of me.
You're right to be. Afraid of me

I've heard it all before.
All the sob stories
Start with you gotta get out, end with you didn't want in.
I've heard it all before.
“A professional lover”
It’s more than most can speak for.
Paint me a picture with your waist now, honey;
Whoa-oh, and come over.
Dilapidated veneer;
Champagne on your snakeskin lips,
Like we were celebrating the death of your innocence.
God Damn. Lap dances to funeral hymns,
To pay him, cause you don't want nothing to do with them.
Life drained from this house just like a virgin crime.
Paint me a picture with your waist now, honey;
Whoa-oh, and come over.
Hey, I think you're afraid.
Don't pray for us.
You can't save us;
We never asked you to.
You can't save us;
Living with nothing to lose.
I know you. I know you, soul.
I’ve read those lines before.
I’ve played that song;
On the radio, in the obituaries.
I’ve held that shovel before. (Yeah)
Mine was made to bury;
Dark things. Dark Places;
Cold nights. Lives wasted away in the light.
You’re so much better in the night;
When your faceless.
I’m faithless.

They'll black out the sky, and every sin, will shift into absence
Along with the men, draped in their genocide
Voices will be raised, and erased just as quickly
As we left ascension, we betrayed our destiny
I lack description
They all cry out "It wasn't me"
Now forced to see, the door that we have opened
There is no easy way out of this tourniquet
This compression, our transgressions
Will amass in the clouds high above us
And mount upon our unexpecting backs
They won't take us alive
Mercy's only for the wise
Fall to your knees and quietly accept the fate you've wrought
All that's needed for evil to triumph is to do nothing
I lack description,
They all cry out "It wasn't me"
Now forced to see the door that we have opened
Stare into the eyes of beginning and end
In wickedness I've lived, in wickedness I end
They'll black out the sky
We descend and captivate your eyes
Just as we pull them from your skulls
You all will burn....
You all will burn...
I lack description
They all cry out "It wasn't me"
Now forced to see the door that we have opened

Keep your hands in the fucking sky.
I’m not a killer but I don’t need this.
What the hell were you thinking?
I get a feeling the world won’t miss you at all.
I have seen the death you bring
With your blatant refusal to listen
Keep your head on the fucking ground
I ‘m no killer but I won’t miss you at all
(No I won’t miss you at all)
So run, run… Into this desert that you’ve been creating and lacing with corpses.
Cry, cry… Empty your eyes of the souls lost on violence that you’ve been endorsing.
Don't try to hide; I know just who you are.
The shame is the same if you look away.
Don't try to hide; I know just who you are.
I know you cry for each strike of the line.
I don’t feel different, I feel the same,
Think of all the selfish games you play,
Karma's coming back as a razor blade on top of the evil and the ace of spades.
Time machine’s built and things have changed
From the top to the bottom be engulfed in flames
Rebels will revolt again, and the beast from the east will grow it’s fangs.
See after life, you’ll be alright in the afterlife and you’ll eat from the fork of the pastor’s wife.
All the whips and the chains you bring will be the same ones that will break you down.
Lions will strike, you’ll hear them roar.
Laying on your back and the birds will soar.
All you’ll see is the sky and roses grow from the tears you cry.
So beauty’s in the death of the wicked and it seems like it’s coming as depicted.
Sad with the curse you were given, but I smile as my eyes bear witness to the end.
I cannot be the only one
Who perpetually sees an issue
With the way that we behave
In civilized society.
You’re alive today, but this is not the way
Hold your hands in the fucking sky.
I’m not a killer but my peace of mind
Relies on all these eyes
Telling me they approve of my life.
I have seen the death you bring…
With your blatant refusal to see
Jump the ledge to the fucking ground.
I’m not a killer but I won’t miss you at all.
(No I won’t miss you at all)
So run, run… Into this desert that you’ve been creating and lacing with corpses.
Cry, cry… Empty your eyes of the souls lost on violence that you’ve been endorsing.
Don't try to hide; I know just who you are.
The shame is the same if you look away.
Don't try to hide; I know just who you are.
I know you cry for each strike of the line.
I won't miss you at all

Do, you remember when…
It was hard to say
They, say the brightest love… (Ladadada no no)
Has the darkest end. (So let’s turn off the lights)
Maybe they were right; I was never a fan…
Of lips coated in, arsenic and cyanide…
If we've both done all we can do…
Then what are we still fighting for?
I can’t remember when I last saw you…
This situation’s out of my control…
How can you feel something broken?
Does anyone find solace?
How can you see all is lost…
Still lacking all that you need?
Do, you remember when…
It was hard to say “I love you”?
Then everything was fine.
We’ll find ourselves alone in time.
I can’t imagine where we’re going…
But, I’m not happy here.
I swear I’m pretty blessed…
I just want these memories to quit flashing in my head.
God all you do is bitch.
This is not about you; Get it through your head
You’re so selfish.
I can never win, you can never win…
So let’s just drop this where it stands.
This is not the end…
This is my rebirth into something I can comprehend.
I don’t want you dead…
I just wish that you would stop wasting my time…
Fuck…
This haunting has got me darling...
Do, you remember when…
It was hard to say “I love you”?
Then everything was fine.
We’ll find ourselves alone in time.
I can’t imagine where we’re going…
But, I’m not happy here.

Such a smile to make it all worth while
But still can’t compare to those eyes
Don’t say this is a lie
This light could melt the Ice
That hangs off my lashes; Breath froze in my chest
Praying my heart can stop beating so fast
Don’t say this is a lie
Please tell me it’s a lie
I gotta get out, I gotta get out
I can break this cage
I can omit, I can forget
Every sweet embrace
I will rip through, every sin to, get what’s in you
Superficial… I won’t take; I’ll wait till you sleep
Breathe a little deeper and calm yourself…
This kind of thinking’s not good for our health…
But I’ll wait… Just wait…
Such a smile to make it all worth while
But still can’t compare to those eyes
Don’t say this is a lie
This light could melt the Ice
That hangs off my lashes; Breath froze in my chest
Praying my heart can stop beating so fast
Don’t say this is a lie
Please tell me it’s a lie
Never said a word, never understood, just how much I cared
I can be erased, fingers laced, now gone from your hair
I’d never ask for your sorrows or tissues
I’ve accepted that I can’t be with you
I’ll be okay
No more dreaming, no, no more dreaming
I can’t believe what I’ve seen through my soul
She keeps leaving and I’m sick of being alone
I was a fool to think I’d have her at all
We keep bleeding, I just keep bleeding
None of our pleading can do any good…
Fickle…fickle and fleeting
But I swear on everything I love, I’ll capture this dove…
Capture Her…
If I can’t have her, no one will
Breathe a little deeper and calm yourself…
This kind of thinking’s not good for our health…
But I’ll wait… Just wait…
Such a smile to make it all worth while
But still can’t compare to those eyes
Don’t say this is a lie
This light could melt the Ice
That hangs off my lashes; Breath froze in my chest
Praying my heart can stop beating so fast
Don’t say this is a lie
Please tell me it’s a lie
//Traitor, Traitor, Traitor, Traitor
…Are you still breathing?
//I was there, there, there, there
…You didn’t see me
I still love you…

White walls…
I cannot sleep another…
I cannot sleep another night…
Like this.
This mist, creeps under my door.
I couldn’t tell you if I’m awake.
Or am I sleeping?
My eyes distort everything…
They capture in their frames
Why can’t they go away?
Were they even there?
I Will watch you flat-line (And Watch your mind)
It will sink behind these white, white, walls.
White Walls…
We’ll lose track of time.
Deteriorated sight, but I see, what becomes of these.
This Isn’t real, This Isn’t real.
I cannot feel, I cannot feel.
This place takes control of us.
Leaves only empty husks.
Of the man that once was…
Sentient and alive.
My eyes distort everything…
They capture in their frames
Why can’t they go away?
Were they even there?
I will crawl on broken hands before I watch you die...
I Will watch you flat-line (And Watch your mind)
It will sink behind these white, white, walls.
White Walls…
These ends can’t justify our means…
What becomes of these?
What becomes of us?
If you really believe you’re fine…
You must need medication.
Such hysteria, there’s no doubt…
You’re all out of your fucking minds.
I believe it’s pretty clear; our sedatives are wearing off…
No one outside these gates will hear your cries.
I'm fine...

I’ve poured my soul, into this dream of mine,
Kindred we are alive,
Angels lend me thy wings,
So I can take flight
This is my release
This is everything I believe in
I won’t be broken down
Tears collect in a sea of lost dreams
I still can’t believe that I know anything
I descend into pleas of reprieve
and I can’t turn around
Nothing is sacred and nothing’s unheard of
In a scene where thieves breed in murder
We’ll burn this complex to the ground
We’ll burn this complex to the ground
You can’t…
Breathe inside my mind.
There is no air.
It’s not that I don’t trust you
I just know that you’re better than that…
You can’t breathe inside my mind.
There is no air.
It’s not that I don’t trust you, not that I don’t trust you
We’ve gotta make up our minds…
Because we’re running out of time…
We’re running out of time…
Do you not know that we will judge angels?
Do you not know that saints will judge the world?
Tears collect in a sea of lost dreams
I still can’t believe that I know anything
I descend into pleas of reprieve
and I can’t turn around
Nothing is sacred and nothing’s unheard of
In a scene where thieves breed in murder
We’ll burn this complex to the ground
We’ll burn this complex to the ground
Show me something
Show me something real
Show me something
Show me anything real
This entropy is steeply seeping into me
And anything resembling empathy, is lost to infamy,
And I am sickened, watching men kill children,
Feeding on the lesser weakened fragments; This broken humanity is sin…

Each of us holds the opportunity to support existence.
To be ground upon which others can build.
On any day. At
any moment.
To Decide;
What they grow into; What we grow into.
Whether it lives or burns.
Love is not select in it's engulf;
Heartwood, I am Centered.
