Dichotomy
04:46
|
|||
Long drawn cigarettes
Torch against the night
Take the broken ashtray for a sign
The dichotomy of dark and light
Lines in the mirror
Start to show my age
Permanent and gradual change
As the world is turning away
Something’s got to give
Before I do
Face first ‘cross the floor
Strung out on pain
Solemn, I got nothing left to say
Dormant plague running through my veins
White knuckled living
Heavy time finite
Born into this world only to die
I’m afraid of closing my eyes
Something’s got to give
Before I do
Relief won’t come
Til you show what it’s for
Don’t feel much like fighting anymore
Given all that I could afford

Slow My Mind
04:07
|

Slow my mind
A silhouette in elapsing time
Searching for what I’ve yet to find
Underlying
A lost cause
Tension and inherent response
Starting with something ending with none
Said and done
Deafening silence
I don’t feel a thing
Can’t tell a difference
But i know that I’ve changed
I’m reeling
Severed notion, failed restraint
Vacancy
Like a ghost has been living in me
I can feel it coming subtly
Suffering
Make it stop
The excavation of every thought
Taking two to numb the pain of one
Setting sun
Deafening silence
I don’t feel a thing
Can’t tell a difference
But I know that I’ve changed
I’m reeling
Severed notion, failed restraint

Blood Starts Running
02:22
|
|||
What does it mean to be safe
Door shut tight, the walls are caved
Martyr to the masquerade
Lying to myself expecting change
Muted sense of urgency
What has been and is to be
Patience in the becoming
Of nothing more than a memory
The blood starts running again
I’m a victim of my own intent
Maybe it’s all in my head
But I don’t think it is
Solemn truth, focus enthralled
Once enamored now appalled
Time is of no use at all
The pain I hide is a wrecking ball
Consciousness inside the void
Silence marks a man destroyed
Dying echoes of white noise
The tragic consequence of choice
The sun burns black
Shadows transcend
Crucified under false pretense
Maybe it’s all in my head
But I don’t think it is

Hard Time Coming Down
03:38
|
|||
Feeling lower than the ground
Petrified and hollowed sound
There’s more in the searching
Than the finding out
Hard time coming down
Hard time coming down
Must’ve had too much too young
Haunted by whats to come
I’m the trembling handle
Of a loaded gun
Hard time coming down
Hard time coming down
Excavate to route the vein
The crux of uniform decay
Everything in its path
Time acts to erase
Hard time coming down
Hard time coming down
Going back to where it began
Burying my head in my hands
I can’t refuse
What I fail to understand
Hard time coming down
Hard time coming down

Hide My Face
05:00
|
|||
Tremors
Keep me idle
Break my conscience
Unforgiving reminders
Silence
A signal fire
Billowing smoke
Like cathedral spires
Absence
All my friends are strangers
Without reason
To know my name
Defeated
At the mercy of failure
Impending doom
I hide my face

What Never Was
02:19
|
|||
I think I’m losing out
The cruel hands of time
Against me now
Though they’ve always held me down
This is a different kind of pain
Promise hangs above the door
I can’t remember what it’s up there for
Guess it doesn’t matter anymore
Too little, too late
It’s fucking me up
Insincerity, the taste of my own blood
Never enough
Ruins formed, beauty turned to rust
What never was
Empty arms open wide
Cold embrace of a bitter lie
Hang my head mesmerized
By the dull and constant ache
Living in the dark
Altered mind, residual heart
Breathing is the hardest part
Knuckles white, the rope is frayed
It’s fucking me up
Insincerity, the taste of my own blood
Never enough
Ruins formed, beauty turned to rust
In the wake of an ending too abrupt
What never was

Tomorrow
03:39
|
|||
Who have I become
Broken spirit, dirty lungs
Hang my head and curse the sun
When will my tomorrow come
All I know shrouded in black
Afraid to loose what i’m holding back
Promise sworn given to lack
Tomorrow don’t have time for that
Asleep upon a burning bed
Thoughts aflame inside my head
Parts of me are already dead
As tomorrow bleeds from gold to lead
Same old song, bitter refrain
Deadened hope, the myth of change
I’m the rolling stone that rolled away
Tomorrow came yesterday

Anything At All
04:13
|
|||
Vision distorted
Hands are shaking
Preemptively mourning
My own death
Room colored
Long exposure
Too heavy to carry
What was not asked for
Shadows are coming
Unbound in the darkness
Without warning
Losing consciousness
It’s something
You don’t get used to
Incessantly numbing
The pain of the truth
Never meant so much
Anything at all

Not Coming Back
03:49
|
|||
Grit my teeth and fake a smile
Fist hits the wall I collapse into the ground
Nothing really matters to me now
Levee’s broke, river’s running wild
Sleep it off and start again
In due time everything must die
Senses dulled the pain intensifies
Live to be forgotten in the end
Look upon
My empire of ruin
The empty throne
The feeling’s gone
And it hurts like hell to know
That it’s not coming back
Overwhelmed I must withdraw
Given more than I ever planned to take
Emotion no one fucking reciprocates
The pain of being human to a fault
Look upon
My empire of ruin
The empty throne
The feeling’s gone
And it hurts like hell to know
That it’s not coming back
