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

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
4.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
