1. THROUGH ESCAPE

This is nothing I'd compare to the state of when I'm in control
I see a blood-red angel, pinned to my bedrooms wall
Through hate the evil follows, spasms are only words
Burning, I clench my fingers now

Feel the pain, it's the only true escape
I have never found a reason to let you live

Hypnotic and fantastic it is to see you hanging there
Now I know that you can't move, so I can rest my head
I'll be alright
The evil follows, spasms are only words
I'll take my life

This is something I just had to do to make you only mine
A breathing puppet above my bed
You're the reason, for you I'll die

Ten milligrams, jumpstart the heart
This sucker just wont get away
Pale-skinned and dead figures fill my head
This isn't my bed
Far from hell, to where he belongs
He will become someones bitch
Begging for death, I pray
I can't live through what you said


2. OPAQUE

Time broke in dismally lit halls of overwrought
Attempts to speak of kinships found though never sought
I am the death of man
I speak but falling on deaf ears it seems
Becomes the stagnant sequence
Buried words perched atop a fallen dream
Soak up the torment and pin it to your broken face
I am the black seed, the shadow born from eons of disgrace

Break this neck
Cover me up in a blood-stained bed
For now

We never asked for this guilt
We never sought to see what's down the line
It's like two comas in succession
Endless

Redraw the line
As we stumble backwards, crumble in the tide
Wipe your fears away
These crippled hands grow impatient
Collapse the time
Fill this cup now with the soured blood of Christ
And twist the knife again
The more I look the more I see through this opaque charade

I beg forgiveness, reprisal
Return to me what once was mine
(Tenfold this time)
Conviction, desire
Rolling stones up a steep incline
I stand for every spoiled rotten race of leaders to come
So end this now
Let every river welcome the flood

Stick, stuck, stung
With the poison of a cowards tongue
Black eye bruise
Tells the story of a made up truth

As every hour lasts a lifetime
So every instance is a waste of time
Like being strangled by a kite string
Trembling

I want it
I need it
I feel it
It falls apart


3. THE AMNESIA TRANSMISSIONS

Hope wore the mask of a cherub
And though it's eyes were censored, wings dismantled
Everyone seemed to smile with purpose and passion

Transmit to me the strength to see
In waveforms that remain undiscovered
Guide me to the brink
Save me from the swarms arms, deny the locust

Compel the signal to react
Tonight it's song is tragic

Hollow and weak
Falling down
Bound by the deepest mistakes
Once frail and lost
Now I'm found
For the transmissions sake

Clenched fists the meek will inherit
Without a dime to savor, crumb to salvage
All souls may die alone, with no one to cherish

Forget the truth of spoiled youth
The transmission shines even stronger
Echoing of ghosts
Spilling your ambitions, leaving you numb


4. THIS TIME THERE WOULD BE NO WITNESSES

Teeth to cold porcelain
Spit out, beautiful grin
Kiss your mother with that mouth
And deliver me from sin

Sad smile, crumbling wills
Dry shores, struggling gills
Bare feet bleeding on rocks
This is your last shot, sugar

Hold your hand in the fire and wait for another reminder
Swimming in shit we forget what it felt like to live
Whose fault is it?

Bloodshot, this is the drug
Of our principle lust
Walk out, don't look around for the angel
She left years ago

Running notes between foes
Needle tracing her clothes
Prop your face on the stove
And hush your pretty mouth

We're all alone here tonight
Don't look over your shoulder
Everything is alright
No need for worries or fright
Don't look over your shoulder
I promise on my life that
No one will be watching

Wake up
There's nothing to gain
Within a lifetime of brevity
Eyes of the enemy
Fixating your face

Break down
Your hands are restrained
Rub raw the flesh of the innocent
Scrubbing at this deep stain

Dead wings, stapled to back
Heart strings, ripped into half
Baby, don't make me laugh
The jokes been on you all along

Bruised lip, sting of the swell
My dreams, thrown down the well
This may hurt you like hell
But darling, you wear red so well

I promise on my life
This time there will be no witnesses


5. BLEAK FUTURE TRAUMA

All praise the new dawn
Stranded in dissonance
The end of ages to come arrives
Disintegrating
Left by the wayside our crimes are revealed
The fallen hour sighs
Creating a void drenched in disrespect
Our foolish pride
I, the betrayer
The soulless purveyor of truth bound in ignorance
Half alive
Body and mind
Look beyond to find what makes it sedate us, fall back and then die

Don't say a word now!
Silence!
Kitty got your tongue?
Quiet!

(Spoiled then reprieved
Machine be my savior
Filaments flickered and sang)
Into electric hands
Pierce this form
Tear my limbs away

Little baby, little baby don't
Little baby, little baby, don't cry
Twinkle starlight, twinkle starlight, shine
Lullaby, lullaby
Don't cry
Don't cry

Like fireflies
Sun of the vortex
Bled through starless horizons
The rage of one
Collapsing sun god
We are the fallen entities
Dead but unaware, we rust


6. THE IMBECILE

Bastard simpleton
Blank stare, ignorant
Pauper of your mind, body and soul
Slave bought ignorance
Graves dug diligent
Who the fuck are you digging them for?

Die slow degenerate
Your last chance came and went
Bury your head in the sand
Wait for the high tide

Cry for embrace
Patience swept under the wave
Washed up and frail like a stray dog
Muzzled and chained
Sister scapegoat
Failure, take me far away
Free from the idiot nature
Mind of the knave

Flock mentality
Sheep in wolves clothing
Useless life form
Mindless peasant
Inane and vague
Jaded and spent

Your dreams are not your own
Puppet-strung, feeble clone
Marionette, dance for your master some more

Coward, imbecile
Stand on window sill
Jump for the sake of your kin
Be a martyr tonight

Free yourself to free us all of shame


7. MURDER THE DISTANCE

For every lesion that decorates
For every cut on the tongue
For every tooth spit in silencing
Regret the choice, of two lives to dissolve the one
We are the products of our mistakes
Severed umbilical cord
The final fall is ours to take
Face down, begging for more

Observe the rust
Decisions inducing repeated disgust

This is the end of all my patience
Swallowing razors for fun
Drink from my cyanide liquid creation
The murderous time has begun
A penny for your broken wishes
A rope towards the light
Standing in puddles of sickness
Murdering distance and time

He worked his bones to the marrow it seemed
He fed his kids to the wolves when in need
Sharpening teeth
Born with the sentient guilt of a malformed belief
The shadow cast from his banal existence
He bit the thorns off her side once again
Curdled like blood growing old with persistence
He'd scrape the blame off his conscience again

But not this time
The lusting for anguish is far too sublime

Ritual
Hot coals in your mouth
Now open up
Wrap your arms around a daydream in vain
Gone are the same ones that promised the most
Next time you see her extract her heart
And keep it under your pillow


8. OF THE PULSE AND THE IRIS

We are the wreckage of eyes
Pinpoint the retina scarred
The sight is hard to ignore
Bliss torn on coat hanger lives
Makeshift human form

Chalk up the lines, divide yourselves
Spit out your intention
Bury it under the fence
Is this a fragment's glare
Soaking up the feeble man's decision to evolve from self?
Or just a prophecy forgotten then regained
Scrubbing the stain, scrubbing the stain
Scrubbing the same stain again
Rotten teeth pulled out and then replaced

Humble fear
Erase this and take me away from this disgrace
Restore my grace in the downfall

I lay drained mental picture of a fallen race
I am a suspect to the fate of our selfish game
Hands tied, predator slain

And there was nothing to clutch to and no one to question,
only hands full of stab wounds of natural selection
Stones set on giants to soothe their depression
tint on their eyelids to kill the reflection of a…

Prophecy forgotten then regained
Scrubbing the stain, scrubbing the stain
Scrubbing the same stain again
Rotten teeth pulled out and then replaced

Shelter simplistic
Rendered of stone
With little resistance
We find our home away from home

Time to cut you motherfuckers down to size
It problem I've been waiting to solve for so long
Step through, step out, step back and square off
Better retract, you're not even half of what you claim to be
You're dead to me for good
Fuck everything you've ever dreamed
You'll never be as good as the lies you've sold

Humble fear
Erase this and take me away from this disgrace
Restore my grace in the downfall
