Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run and you're out of disguises
I know the truth and you cannot deny it
Flame on the fuse and you cannot ignite it
Cursing my name
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run and you're out of disguises
I know the truth and you cannot deny it
Flame on the fuse and you cannot ignite it
I won't be rid of the price upon my head
Day one, the stranger came to me
Occupied my head rent-free
Day two, the stranger steals from me
Covers skin so they can't see
Day three's arrival came too quickly
Left in the dust and grew sickly
Day four is quiet, maybe I'll fight it
Day five, he scorns and reclaims his stay
Why do you visit?
Why are you here?
What do you want?
Why are you near?
Why don't you smile?
Why do you care?
What do you feel?
You are a stranger
Why are you hateful?
Tell me, stranger
Why is it painful?
Stranger stands in my reflection
Stranger stares behind my eyes
Stranger
Why are you shameful?
Stranger in the midst of the mind
Begging your restraint
Stranger
Day five thousand one hundred thirteen
Tried to rid his home in my skin
Lift this hateful prison off me
Chew the fruits that rid you of me
Why do you damn look like that?
Why are you still looking at me?
Why do you visit?
Why are you here?
What do you want?
Why are you near?
Why don't you smile?
Why do you care?
Why do you stay all of my days?
You are a stranger
Why are you hateful?
Tell me, stranger
Why is it painful?
Stranger steps behind my footsteps
Stranger stares behind my eyes
Stranger
Why are you shameful?

We Are Sinking
03:17
|
|||
Drawn to the allure of the water run pure
Minutes turn to hours when the river flows sure
We are sinking
Flood the flesh and bone
Drown me
Capsized
Run ashore on grounds that offer promise promising a brief respite again
Intent
While it's known the journey thrills
The destination devastates and plunges, deepening
The kill
Beyond restraint the anchor slips before the tide
Caught in fingers desperate to taste the inside
Demon in the window not inclined to glance back
His game is one of patience; one will play into his tact
We are sinking
Flood the flesh and bone
Drown me
Show the sinful liquid gold
Find me raptured in the current find me subject to its hold
Drink it
This fount is not of youth
But it leaves the mind young when it wraps around your
Tongue
Slowly
But beware as tendrils pull, you will stumble and you'll fall
Turn your heaven into hell
It will turn your heaven into hell
Drawn to the allure of the water run pure
Minutes turn to hours when the river flows sure
We are sinking
Is it hard to lose?
Holding on the dice
Can you hear me now?
They're not playing nice
Trapped behind the window
Devil will not smile
No more
Fast acquaintances
The water's at my throat
Trapped behind the window
Devil turns away
Once more
Sea is rising past my neck
I will know bliss
Flood me
Drown me
Pull me down

Heaven they dry their eyes because you won't reach paradise
Suffer below
God he wipes his tears and though he saved a spot for years
Sorry, so long
Save your spite for the days behind you
Say your shame has fallen from your skies
I saw the gates slam shut
And the saint diverted his gaze
Adrift in misdirection
Falling on my face
How will saviors deny you?
Test me on this and on this alone
Test me not for the sake of design
Oh how the gods won't rend the strings
How? They hang and cling to a torn page
Blind me, bind me
I heard enough to know it's true
The voice inside gave me proof to see it through
Heaven they dry their eyes because you won't reach paradise
Suffer below
God he wipes his tears and though he saved a spot for years
Sorry, so long
I never knew you
Be rid before my sight
You are scum on the dirt I created
Sink into the cracks
When did conscience escape you?
You play the role of a changed man
And spout on hymns of praise
I know you'll keep your promise
I saw it in a vision
I'm told whom I must walk with
It's time your children came back home
Time your children came back home
Not by choice but by your mind
Hold their hands and clench them tight
Your hell is made of spite
Spite
Heaven they dry their eyes because you won't reach paradise
Suffer below
God he wipes his tears and though he saved a spot for years
Sorry, so long
See the kingdom by your maker
Hide inside the walls of mortal men
I know you'll keep your promise
I saw it in a vision
I'm told whom I must walk with
I fear no earthly prison
I know you'll keep your promise
I saw it in a vision
Blood my price for living days of falsehood
Where is the ink?
Where is the name you scribbled on your page?
Palaces on mountaintops of lies
I walk among them
And know their worth
Oh, now know the truth seeps in lies
My world is yours
Command the vessel
Free me
I am reborn
Heaven they dry their eyes because you won't reach paradise
Suffer below
God he wipes his tears and though he saved a spot for years
Sorry, so long
Heaven they dry their eyes because you won't reach paradise
Suffer below
God he wipes his tears and though he saved a spot for years
Sorry, so long
Heaven they dry their eyes because you won't reach paradise
Suffer below

We all grow attached to the semblance of another
Pour out selfless gifts for the benefit of others
The final sun set quakes the pillars of foundation
For where the stone rests is where I met the realization
What's in my head?
Bottom feeders circle
The scavengers descend
I won't weep for you
I am incapable
Incapable
Incapable
Drop like flies still the sun will rise again
Did I value you or the value of your gifts?
Held in high esteem as a trophy on display
As the flesh grows cold you stay the sum of all your worth
Why? Why can't I love?
I offer you the nothing
I showed in my stead
I can't weep for you
I am incapable
Incapable
Incapable
Forgive me
You're not my weight to bear
I will keep you and discard you as it's best for me
Forgive me my indifference
I fear hurt
I fear refusal
Regret
Refusal
I am incapable
Afraid of
Repairing
I cannot love

Monsters
03:55
|

Wash your hands clean of the guilt
You will yet not pass the walls I've built
Overstep another stone is set
Breach the walls but know my world is kept
Underneath the soil I tend
Don't feed the creatures bound to revolt
Monuments and gifts of trust won't
Unfurl my clenched fists
And the monsters will not go to sleep
They pry the eyelids open
Over the bed they lean
Whispering secrets
Black tethers
Hold me down
Cellar snakes and silver serpents
Climb the posts below the mattress
Heed our words and guard them closely
You need to change
But I wake up the same as always
No sage wisdom held to my chest
The mirrors tell no lies
Only truths that I deny
And the monsters will not go to sleep
They pry the eyelids open
Over the bed they lean
Whispering secrets
Black tethers
Hold me down
I will be a lantern on your path
But no one shines for me
But the monsters they won't go to sleep
They force the eyelids open
Leaning across the bed
Whispering secrets
But the monsters will not leave my side
Until I wake from slumber
I'll hear their tactless lies
Until I keep them
Shut-in cells
Curse my mind

Damage (ft. MMune)
03:48
|

Damage
Seeps in open wounds
Damage
Reap the spoils of ruin
No more lights to chase in tunnels sealed in stone
Architects conceited in designs so cruel
Dead ends
Rails on ties on grounds unstable
Locked on course
Hands face down
Inching towards the void
What further shall my weary eyes regard?
Deceit
Conscience covered by the truths
In tales of old
Damage
Seeps in open wounds
Damage
Reap the spoils of ruin
Did you see the clouds and harps plucked under soil?
Pray your loved ones smiled
Locked in tombs of royals
Did you sing those songs and dance above the rain?
I await the day we cease to grasp our pains
Show me how to live while shackled by the heel
Grief and mourn and plea and soon return to dust
Did you see those clouds and harps plucked under soil?
Pray your loved ones smiled
Locked in tombs of royals
Did you sing those songs and dance above the rain?
I await the day we cease to grasp our pains
Damage
Seeps in open wounds
Damage
Reap the spoils of ruin

Pitfalls

Punish me with a second drop
Wash it down with a third and forth
40 fluid ways to quench my thirst
Invite the urge to make this night my worst
Converse dry: the bottle's sealed
I can't wait to make me feel
Tide's high— surface ripples
Levitate to force the payload
Reveal the part of me
That forgoes this vacancy
Look like shit
Feel like shit
Look like shit
Feel like shit
Look like shit
Feel like shit
Look like shit and feel worse
Far worse than I have dropped
The hurt stays near as all my shots
Writhing, splitting— pains to be you
Wake up far too gone to stay true
Look like shit
Feel like shit
And it tears me up, yet I do it again
Fucking bleak
Fucking weak
Hands push 12:00 and the circle completes
I must know what I have owed
Payment shown to taste the cold
Gift is yours to keep; my weight to bear
Showered on the rocks in the sea I fare
Insufferable drenched medication
I feel the pull of my inclination
Look like shit
Feel like shit
I look like shit and feel worse
Far worse than I have dropped
The hurt stays near as all my shots
Writhing, splitting— pains to be you
Wake up far too gone to stay true
Look like shit
Feel like shit
And it tears me up, yet I do it again
Fucking bleak
Fucking weak
Hands push 12:00 and the circle completes
Look like shit
Feel like shit
Look like shit
Feel like shit
You look like shit
Feel like shit
Pitfalls, recall to make the pieces fit
Oh yeah, the debt is paid
You're not good enough until you pay to play
Bring a bottle, and a second, three?
'Cause I hope to god you don't think it's free
Oh yeah, that's what I came to see
You hug the bowl like you hold decency
Didn't go too far or did you taste the pain?
'Cause your pillow starts to look a lot like porcelain
Pitfalls, recall to make the pieces fit
Far worse than I have dropped
The hurt stays near as all my shots
Writhing, splitting— pains to be you
Wake up far too gone to stay true
Look like shit
Feel like shit
And it tears me up, yet I do it again
Fucking bleak
Fucking weak
Hands push 12:00 and the circle completes

Know Your Pain
02:57
|

So what the fuck is going on?
It's a miss and it's near but it's far and out of my reach
Hard to recall
It escapes me yet; I'm like
What the fuck is going on?
It's again and again and it takes so much to rebuild
All in my head
And there it stays for now
But what the fuck is going on?
Remember how it made you feel
What it meant and what they meant
Remember the anger you felt and the resentment in your heart
It's not your fault but know you can't repeat
Worm, writhing, wretched beast
Know your pain
Let this show
I'm better
Than I was
Know your pain
Fix yourself
So what the fuck is going on?
It's a miss and it's near but it's far and out of my reach
Hard to recall
It escapes me yet; I'm like
What the fuck is going on?
It's again and again and it takes so much to rebuild
All in my head
And there it stays for now
But what the fuck is going on?
The days we entangled in our company
Let it fuel you in a mission to resign repeat mistakes
May your wrath live forever as a reminder
A home is reduced from the inside
Know your pain
Let this show
I'm better
Than I was
Know your pain
Fix yourself
What the fuck is going on?
What is going on?
I swore to myself
Don't remember the warmth
You'll suffer a lifetime in its leave
It's a miss and it's near but it's far and out of my reach
Hard to recall
It escapes me yet; I'm like
What the fuck is going on?
What the fuck is going on?

Send Me To The Void
03:28
|

Send me to the void
I'm found in my abyss
Bury imperfections
Entrapped my thoughts in cases from the past
Send me to the void
Send me to the void
I've fought my boundaries
I purchased safety in the naught within the numb
Choose the poison you will sip from the chalice
The fumes endure and force the strain of my spite
I found peace in the expanse of the null
And when the truth refrains
I'm stalling at an impasse
Fuck
My heart it pulses under soil
Send me to the void
Send me to the void
I'm quelled in my abyss
Hidden intersections
Entrapped my thoughts in cases from the past
Naught regains my substance
In trifling nuance lay the vices of the mind
I know what I fear
And what I love is the embrace of the surround
Ah, what I'd give to know the cold
Send me to the void
A voice behind the walls
Pries me from my slumber
Raptures me to state beyond my kind
Send me to the void
Send me to the void
She breathes above the hills
The stale breath of none
Will you stay?
Hands are those that kill
This peace shall have my fill
Have you shame?
She breathes above the hills
The stale breath of none
Will you stay?
Send me to the void
Send me to the void
