Sleep sound in your sickness
Cease being the witness
If you wake don't fret
Your dreams aren't dead
Sleep on my lost lover
Please think it all over
When you wake remember
The dreams that I've lost

Stretch Heart

I've found the one I've sought
She's all I'd ever want
I'd give up anything
Just for her touch
She tried to stretch my heart
Her soul crushed by countless scars
Although it may hurt to see
I must fight on
You may lie
You may cheat
You may feed
Your disease
But I won't
Give up now
I still feel
My brainless vow
I'll hold on through the storm
Fight for what I will mourn
Strive to destroy myself
For this false truth
She tried to stretch my heart
Her soul crushed by countless scars
Although it may hurt to see
I must fight on
I know I should leave for my sake
But I've grown attached to heartache

Stuck in Love

What to do, what to say
How to make it go my way
Stepping into the endless grey
The cinders glow and fall away
I'm stuck in love and it won't change
Your power grows with each passing day
And I wrap my bonds around my throat
Tie the reins tight and give you the rope
Hope and pray you're here to stay
Sleepless nights and days of rage
Thought constricts on your last kiss
And kills the life I will not miss
I threw away a love so pure
To chase what my mind said was sure
I'm stuck in love and it won't change
Your power grows with each passing day
And I wrap my bonds around my throat
Tie the reins tight and give you the rope
Hope and pray you're here to stay
Sleepless nights and days of rage
Thought constricts on your last kiss
And kills the life I will not miss

Don't trust her lies
You'll know in time
The world that you lost
In your sinful lust
Keep it inside
Don't lose your mind
The poison she speaks
Toxic words of the weak
She's the man eater
Prime deceiver
Spreading hate
Don't take the bait
The man eater
Evil creature
Seeding fear
In her broken state
Ancient evil
Filthy weevil
Sucking blood
Spreading her disease
Broken promise
The mask is gone
I've seen her heart
You'll heal in time
Pay for your crime
Sew all your seeds
And let them grow
Let it all out
Don't lock the door
Put pen to page
And break out of your cage
She's the man eater
Prime deceiver
Spreading hate
Don't take the bait
The man eater
Evil creature
Seeding fear
In her broken state
Ancient evil
Filthy weevil
Sucking blood
Spreading her disease
Broken promise
Shattered goddess
The mask is gone
I've seen her heart

We said that words could never hurt you my friend
I'm wrong... words paint your world and the color is off
We all know power's a drug addicting those with empty mugs
Quiet down, hold your tongue
Those words will hurt someone
Strive for the world you seek to know, burn it within
Struggling against the minds of everyone, and their sin
For they speak with poor intention
They talk without reflection
For your struggles are resurrected
By the sounds their hatred spews
And I will not relent
I am not a fool
And I won't live by your rules
Because hatred is as hatred does
Hiding behind
Silence all who say
That we're wrong our ends are great
Because we all know the means don't show
Who we really are
Perhaps it's true your life is hard
I can't pretend to know your scars
You'll never see the power
If you never look within
Politics and thinnest skins
Words controlled to sheild your kin
Blame it on those you control
Bring you to your primal goal
NO
NO
NO
NO
You will not steal my life
Turn my passion into ice
Shatter my soul and break my wall
Bring me to the curtain call
Keep your sinful temptation
Leave me to my new creation
For I will not relent
I am not a fool
And I won't live by your rules
Because hatred is as hatred does
Hiding behind
Silence all who say
That we're wrong our ends are great
Because we all know the means don't show
Who we really are

In the Hall
07:38
|

|
Once again, I'm in the hall
Reflecting on my call
Her voice fades to be replaced
With the depth of self hate
Nose itch go away
Blood must circulate
Fly upon my nose
I can't feel my toes
Waste begs for escape
Stomach rumbles late
Please open your eyes
Inside has no prize
I fight with myself for answers
I wish I could die for purpose
Why stand up and fight for justice
When I could live on for that which I feel inside
That cannot leave
Once again, I'm in the hall
Reflecting on my call
Her voice fades to be replaced
With the depth of self love
I look inside
For days and speak no false
Thoughts are broken
Driving me to insanity
Nose itch go away
Blood must circulate
Fly upon my nose
I can't feel my toes
Waste begs for escape
Stomach rumbles late
Please open your eyes
Inside has no prize
Inside has no prize
Inside has no prize
Feelings fade away
Darkness won't abate
Reality is fake
Why won't I wake
Tears hit the floor
Sobs wrack my core
What is left behind
The endless time
I am all alone in my head
All these words unsaid to myself
What is left to do in this hall
I must now escape and bring back what I came for
That always leaves
One last day, I'm in the hall
Ready to break this wall
Her voice long gone, sorrow so long
I'm ignoring the call
In the hall I lose myself
In the hall I fade away
In the hall I'm hanging on
In the hall I'm walking out
I am free to live again
But have I missed a door
It seems she's gone, but if I'm wrong
Perhaps there is no known cure
Death draws closer now
Laugh resembles clown
Speeding towards the day
So much I must say
Vice will come back now
The hall has no vow
Suffer for my sounds
Music has no bounds
I survived the hall to face her
But I found much more in my soul
Yet none will believe what I saw
When I looked inside the depth gave way to shadow
That consumes all

Face the Truth
04:39

Gangrene eyes of pesticides
Wash them clean of our mind
The ticking of the lifeless clock
The future we all thought we bought
Increments of lively times
You wept before open eyes
Fingers ripped by glass aflight
You bathed long in acidic night
Mind left feeble cuz life's a toy
Once many stabbed heart bereft of joy
Time sucked dry all of your life
Renting sight of your own strife
I still rage at that dying night
All I lost to her broken sight
She tore apart the life inside
And lived her own, no loss of stride
Left me for him
The ancient and the maiden speak
Her shallow words soon burrow deep
Wisdom lies within his mind
One who looks will always find
As much as it may seem the end
Life will find something to send

The Sands of Time
08:27
|

Try and fail to leave yourself
Lust and greed both lead to hell
Reach for power beyond your grasp
Left behind are the shells of man
The sands of time beyond our eyes
Draining fast despite our cries
The end of life, the start of time
Watched with the endless mind
Betray your skin, the rest is sin
Transcend the limits of your kin
Forget your name, live in vain
The lessons catch us all again
Flee your life
Chains grow tight
Fame, fortune, friends, or name
Balance them and watch them slain
One for all, one for naught
One for one, all shall fall
Fall
I'm falling down
There is no ground
Will I land or will I crash
Forget about
Leaving without
Bringing hell to those you knew
Fall
Run from all you ever knew
Though all roads lead to truth
You still want to play this game
Escape your name and your fate
There's no hiding
Or disguising
Sanctifying
Abstractizing
Righteous dying
You're now blinding
Agrandizing
Absence Binding
The sands of time beyond our eyes
Draining fast despite our cries
The end of life, the start of time
Watched with the endless mind
Betray your skin, the rest is sin
Transcend the limits of your kin
Forget your name, live in vain
Lessons catch us all again
Now you know your life is sold
Your efforts broken by the cold
Innocence has left our Earth
Chained up by your own birth
And on you'll strive to make a life
With what is left to build and buy
Forward we fall
Time ends all
Time ends all
