Lyrics:
caging up my enemies and feeding them to filth
their mouths open up wide at my command
a symphony of screams, at the feet of me
i will make you bleed when you’re on your knees
decapitation
begging on your knees
i crave brutality
obedience is all i ask for
on my leash like a fucking bitch
total absence of self control with this knife
fucking your face with this blade
the purest form of torture
fucking your face with this knife
my flawless form of pleasure
caging up my enemies
primal acts take over me
caged
fragments of flesh
desolation in your eyes
fragments of flesh
decimation will be cherished
caging up my enemies
where’s your savior when you fucking bleed
satisfaction comes from decimation
forced to see
your family die
because you fucked with me
extermination of all my fucking prey

“Speed Demon” Lyrics:
Scammed
Right in the middle of my master plan
I saw a demon in my master piece
I need a priest cause my life got leased
I freeze I squeeze my cheese
My bloated noggin and my swollen fist
I know it’s all about to change
Separate my carnal mind
From the path that’s been eating me up
All I needed was some time
To prove you wrong
I’ll always prove you wrong
Break all my bones
Burn me up, devour my light
Light me up like a wildfire
Let it burn
Let it burn
Take everything that I said and think it over
Tell everyone that I’m dead and give them closure
They’ll tear apart all I am until I don’t exist
So feed me to the abyss
A gold angel came to wake me up
I asked for glorious blaze
I get pity from an ancient stump
I found my soul in a flame
Died in my dreams
And I don’t need more
I’m cutting you off if I’m brave enough
I think of a better way
I’m down in the dump where I made it up
The things that I’d never say
Speed demon when you smash the gas
You know God always gets the last laugh
Sit on the throne
Someone will slit your throat
I’ll bring the fight
No end in sight
Devour all my light
Make it stop when you believe it can’t stop
Make it stop when you believe you can’t
Make it stop when you release that seeker
Make it stop when you release the reigns
If you can’t prove how the path is followed
The way is no way and no way calls you
Retire from the grip around your mind
Retrieve your heart and rest
“Straight From The Heart” Lyrics:
I’m not burning out
Won’t fade away
Time to shine
Brighter
I’ve always been a fighter
On your way down
Give me a wave
Know the fall is bitter
You’ve always been a quitter
I’m at the top of my game
You shit out more of the same
Quit blaming
I’m sick of all the complaining
I’ll work until I’m in the dirt
You lazy fucks are the worst
Feels like reverse embalming
Poisoned buffet
I hear my stomach calling
Crème brûlée
All i wanted was a bucket of nuggets
And then a pie and a peanut shake
I was tripping over piles of bile
It was the greatest thing I ever ate ate ate
I won’t stop cooking it up
Imma build a better body when I’m getting a pump
Got a real meal plan, takin plenty of sups
My sins are all forgiven
I’m building mass with creatine
Prayed up, Mark Wahlberg of the scene
I’m stacking pins and psalms
Cuz it takes my pain away
I let the light flow through my balls
I’m like a tree in earth with God
I feel my heart show up
Now the spirit is gleaming
I’m receiving the meaning
And the pain that’s stored gets fucked
No shame in knowing you’re adored
For shoving your face
I can’t believe that I consume the food
And then I fill up a whole nother plate
I did it
I lived it
I ate
They’ll never compete with my weight
The bond is different
The karma instant
I think that I’m so fucking brave
These devils waitin for the seas to part
I heard their sermon and these vermin
Man, they aint that smart
I take a little rest
Feeling blessed
Straight from the heart
If they keep fucking around
I won’t be down
You’ll live in the ground
You don’t deserve this art
You’re all alone
In a room
With the doom
Soon a tomb
In a room
With the doom
Soon a tomb
You couldn’t make it stop

Lyrics:
I see infinity in front of me
Will it ever be more than a dream
I’m incomplete necessity
Reaching for the space in between
I see humanity insanity
Another ghost in the machine
An obsolete morality
Spanning through the ages
I forgive myself but I
Feel everything
But I never knew what empty felt like
Til you went away
And I’m lost in the vertigo
We all need someone
When we come undone
And feel everything
I wish you well until we meet again
I see infinity antiquity
Is there any way to be redeemed
And supersede a destiny
And marvel at the greatness
I forgive myself but I
Feel everything
But I never knew what empty felt like
Til you went away
And I’m lost in the vertigo
We all need someone
When we come undone
And feel everything
I wish you well until we meet again
I see Infinity
But I feel everything
But I never knew what empty felt like
Til you went away
And I’m lost in the vertigo
We all need someone
When we come undone
And feel everything
I wish you well until we meet again

Lyrics:
Can’t stay away
Moth to a flame
And I won’t keep you waiting
Down to the wire
Wings on fire
Never hesitating
Holy ground
Burn it down
And it’s not worth saving
Up all night
Chasing the light
But it keeps on fading
Drowning in your energy
I can’t live without
Feeling every part of me
Brace for the blackout
Brace for the blackout
Brace for the blackout
A war within
Pull me in
I’m too numb to fight it
Can’t stop now
Call it out
So there’s no more hiding
Led astray
Let em say
That I’m so misguided
I wanna fly
One more time
The future’s undecided
Drowning in your energy
I can’t live without
Feeling every part of me
Brace for the blackout
Brace for the blackout
Brace for the blackout
Blackout
Drowning in your energy
I can’t live without
Feeling every part of me
Brace for the blackout
Brace for the blackout
Brace for the blackout

Lyrics:
I’ll remember to forget everything you say
In a terrible but cordial kind of way
It’s all happening exactly like I’ve seen it all before
You still walk with me through every darker day
It’s taking over
It’s getting closer
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know why
Shot with your pistol but I didn’t die
Crush me
Crush me
I love the way you hurt me
I love the way you throw me away
Crush me
Oh crush me
I love the way you hurt me
I love the way you throw me away
I would follow you through any raging storm
And a kiss goodbye but no one’s there to mourn
No more battle cries
I’ll just have to carry it alone
My allegiance I have faithfully sworn
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know why
Shot with your pistol but I didn’t die
Crush me
Crush me
I love the way you hurt me
I love the way you throw me away
Crush me
Oh crush me
I love the way you hurt me
I love the way you throw me away
This terrible wonderful beautiful life
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know why you
Crush me
Crush me
Crush me
Crush me
I love the way you hurt me
I love the way you throw me away
Crush me
Oh crush me
Everything goes away
I love the way you hurt me
I love the way you throw me away
Everything goes away

Lyrics:
In a constant state of dismay
I can’t catch a break
I’ve made the mistakes
You’re the voice I hear
It’s crystal clear
And the cycle feels endless
And I know I caused it
It’s all in my head
You know I’m my own worst enemy
And I cannot exist
Without my nemesis
It’s the only thing that gets me through my selfishness
And I cannot resist
Broken promises
And after all it’s me that is my nemesis
Can’t resist touching the flame
Got carried away
Every day the same
Like a whisper in my ear
You’re so sincere
And sometimes it feels hopeless
I’m cold and callous
And back from the dead
You know I’m my own worst enemy
And I cannot exist
Without my nemesis
It’s the only thing that gets me through my selfishness
And I cannot resist
Broken promises
And after all it’s me that is my nemesis
If I refuse to confirm to you
You refuse to confirm to me
And I cannot exist
Without my nemesis
It’s the only thing that gets me through my selfishness
And I cannot resist
Broken promises
And after all it’s me that is my nemesis

Lyrics:
Don’t fall asleep
‘cause I feel you slipping under
It’s not fair to keep
Trying to hurt eachother
Well I guess you got what you wanted
Say a prayer for the dearly departed
Make your peace with god
No matter how fake or flawed
Sometimes life
Sometimes life’s not fair
Sometimes I
Sometimes I don’t care
Too far to see
Or notice I’ve gotten older
Hard to believe
This life goes on forever
Well I guess you got what you wanted
Say a prayer for the dearly departed
Make your peace with god
No matter how fake or flawed
Sometimes life
Sometimes life’s not fair
Sometimes I
Sometimes I don’t care
And nobody’s perfect but sometimes it’s like we’re not even there
Sometimes I
Sometimes I don’t care
I don’t care
Don’t fall asleep
I don’t care
It’s not fair to keep
I don’t care
Too far to see

Lyrics:
Everything I was before you
Has gone away just like a passing storm
Maybe I was living through you
I wore the pain just like a crown of thorns
And I can see the horizon falling
Your face hides in the sky
Try so hard to look away but I’ll never know why
Someday I’ll have to find
Another way to numb the pain but it’s burned in my mind
I guess I never understood you
A hidden light you couldn’t keep it on
Was it something waiting for you
It took it’s time but you were too far gone
And I can see the horizon falling
Your face hides in the sky
Try so hard to look away but I’ll never know why
Someday I’ll have to find
Another way to numb the pain but it’s burned in my mind
You hold the weight of the world before me
A memory but it’s all I’ve ever known
A symphony of the love you showed me
Universally forever one
Your face hides in the sky
Try so hard to look away but I’ll never know why
Never know why
Never know why
Your face hides in the sky
Try so hard to look away but I’ll never know why
Someday I’ll have to find
Another way to numb the pain but it’s burned in my mind
Burned in my mind

Lyrics:
Dear Father I hope you’re well
I haven’t talked to you in a while
So many things I want to tell you
If you could only see me now
Dear father I still see your face
In every mirror on every wall
A silhouette through time and space
We’re not so different after all
I’m so damn sick of talking to heaven
And if you’re not there who’s gonna listen
So I’ll keep talking to heaven
And the photographs that never last
Like I’m holding onto some kind of vision
Ohh
Dear Father
Dear Father nothing feels the same
I wish that you could take my call
See the lights see the stage see the world I made
See the man that I’ve become
Oh
I’m so damn sick of talking to heaven
And if you’re not there who’s gonna listen
So I’ll keep talking to heaven
And the photographs that never last
Like I’m holding onto some kind of vision
Ohh
Dear Father
Grateful for every second that we had
I wish I had a way to bring you back
I’m so damn sick of talking to heaven
And if you’re not there who’s gonna listen
So I’ll keep talking to heaven
And the photographs that never last
Like I’m holding onto some kind of vision
Ohh

Lyrics:
What I see is what I believe
So I like to paint the picture
Madness in every streak
Two coat the shadow figures
If it’s all habitual hate
I’d rather dissociate
Chaos is what keeps me sane
Thunder to silence the rain
I think I crave Chaotic
I don’t taste the pain when I stay Neurotic
So why would I wanna change
It’s safe inside the void i’m lost in
I’m drowning out the noise with Chaotic
Some say it’s hell
But it’s home to me Sadistic
Sanctuary Conscience buried beneath
Don’t need no cemetery
It’s all habitual hate
I’d rather dissociate
Chaos is what keeps me sane
I think I crave Chaotic
I don’t taste the pain when I stay Neurotic
So why would I wanna change
It’s safe inside the void i’m lost in
I’m drowning out the noise with Chaotic
Addicted to distraction
The chemical reaction
You’ve only seen a fraction
This is my mind in action
I think I crave Chaotic
I don’t taste the pain when I stay Neurotic
So why would I wanna change
It’s safe inside the void i’m lost in
Can’t save me, it’s a choice i’ll rot in
I’m drowning out the noise with Chaotic

Lyrics:
Soul crushing weight
Leave me underpinned by a concubine
Don’t you know I know my mistakes
Will leave you contemplating about your demise?
Resent me
With all that you are
The harm that you want
It’s all in vain
Well if the barriers are broken
My allegiances won’t last
What’s the point of moving forward
If you can’t forget the past?
It feels like the weight of 1,000 suns
I don’t even love you
The way that I used to
When I was still part of your plan
Now I am a fortress
No one gets in
You won’t see me again
Take everything
And leave me empty handed
Because it’s a pointless conversation
Yeah it’s an endless pit of loss
It isn’t safe to be a stranger
Can’t predict the fall
How long the damage lasts
You wear me out
Because you know I can take it
Lecture me
On all the ways you think that I should pay
I’ll take the fall
For my pride and my failures
Rending me
With all this malice
Now all my sin is a burden
Feels like the weight of 1,000 suns
I don’t even love you
The way that I used to
When I was still part of your plan
Now I am a fortress
No one gets in
You won’t see me again
You’ll never face the truth
How many times do I gotta say it
We bleed the same blood
And now it’s running down the stairs
So much for letting go
#Eidola #TheWeightOfSin #RiseRecords
Lyrics:
Oh faithful children
Welcome to the bloc
Are you prepared for a greater purpose
Sacrificial twits
I’ve become the beast
A golden calf at the alter
The serpent’s head I used
To chew through my own leg
Why were we so afraid?
A perfect penitent father
A father for our dying day
Almighty lion
I will strangle you by the hairs of your mane
Precious lamb
I will come for you again
Holy fire
I pray you scorch the earth
No leaders left to follow
No kings
Just frail and vile men
I can’t continue
To carry on
When all I know is sorrow
And I’ll I think about is death
Being burned alive
Being torn apart from the inside
This is madness
Don’t tell me not to panic
I can’t rebuild
From a place of endless nothing
I can’t refrain
From annihilation
A faith that never falters
A serpent formed out of alder
A blade that thirsts for knowledge
Knows that I never sleep
Why were we so convinced?
An endless desert to wander
A fate we never have to pay
Blessed Hadraniel
I pray you let me in
Holy fire
I pray you scorch the earth
No leaders left to follow
No kings
Just frail and vile men
I can’t continue
To carry on
When all I know is sorrow
And all I think about is death
Don’t tell me not to panic
I became the beast
Don’t let me suffer piece by piece
Don’t let me be afraid
I’ll find a way to chew through my own leg
Is it justice
To keep a man locked in a cage?
In a solstice
We are all so full of rage
#Eidola #AshesInGehinnom #RiseRecords
Lyrics:
The kings of the earth
Have done the work
Destroying dharma
Abandoning seeds
Wandering lost
In doubt and delusion
Eyes fixed on the bull
Limping around
Reduced to one leg
Beasts among men
Snuffing the righteous out
Pour the bowl into the air
Can we find our way back?
I’m losing my sanguine view
Will there be any light left?
Nothing here but madness
Never found your niche
Revel in your sadness
You belong in a ditch
Show me how you’re breaking me down
Tell me that it’s good for my health
Things will never be the same
Or close to what you knew
Tell yourself you found a way out
Lie and say you’re different now
But I’ll never forget the way your turned your back on me
Generations built by the bricks of a soulless maze
Apathetic empires setting the world ablaze
Propaganda forcing our values to be misaligned
Always remember, the center is intertwined
I’m not scared of dying, I’m not giving in
There’s hope in forgiveness for the monsters we’ve been
No one is spotless, no one’s exempt
I gave all I had and now I’m fucking spent
Show me how you’re breaking me down
Tell me that it’s good for my health
Things will never be the same
Or close to what you knew
Tell yourself you found a way out
Lie and say you’re different now
But I’ll never forget the way your turned your back on me
Say that I’m the enemy now
Go on tempting fate
Karmically a treason
Say that I’m the enemy now
Fabricate your place
Detach yourself from reason
Say that I’m the enemy now
But I’m the only one on your side
I’m still waiting
For you to wake up
I’m still waiting
For you to wake up
Tell me when it’s over
I can’t bare to look away
I need to discover
A new mantra to convey
#Eidola #KaliYuga #RiseRecords
Lyrics:
Now we’ve reached the final call
Where I will break you down to nothing
Suffocate
Left behind to stagnate
Until we see the end of days
Timeless pain
And endless weight
Now I am anchored in effusion
Paradox of mortal man
I can’t refrain my desperate hand
Deal the fated cards again
Defy the odds
As we begin to mend
Om Mani Padme Hum
It’s time to pick a side
Will your legacy fold under
The endless hoards of reprobates
Gnawing at your spine?
If you could give the world a savior
Would you crucify yourself?
Or would you cower with the rest of them
And earn your place in hell?
I hear the desert call my name
For the seventh time
I fear our reach exceeds our grasp
So remind me where this ends
Hide behind the mask
Conflagrate inside a void of silence
Speak now at last
And pray to God this only ends in violence
I know that you can’t save me
After all I’m dead inside
From all that I’ve become
Rebuilding patterns to survive
Erasure
I forget
Just how we’re supposed to live down here
When you eviscerate my soul
I need a brand new body
No control
I want to store my memories in the sands
I want to see the things that no man can
And with all this light I consecrate
When the balance of the world is at stake
Will I learn from my mistakes?
Over and over again
Yeah
And now the earth screams back at me
For the final time
Soothsayer
Hold your head underwater
I don’t need another breath
Hide behind the mass
Congregate and be devoid of conscience
Remain aghast
When all the world can see
Is their own likeness
Pray to God this only ends in violence
Om Mani Padme Hum
Well I’ve made up my mind
I know that you can’t save me
And every step that I retrace
Reminds me I’m a fake
Maybe next time
I won’t forget all I’ve learned
And I won’t be the one who fails
The one who always burns
I’m losing my shine
Was I ever enough?
Because after all your heroes die
Their souls begin to rust
No I’ll never find
Another person to trust
And in the end we all were made
We all return to dust
Ocular congruity
I’m fucking done with this illusion
Myopic fantasy
Your God is a wolf within sheep’s clothing
Search yourself
For every righteous thought
Cling to life
But don’t rewrite the plot
I will burn every bridge in the world
Until my final day
I’ll kill myself
And see what God has to say
#Eidola #GolgothaCompendiumFifthTemple #RiseRecords
Lyrics:
After all that I’ve given away
I’m still making the same mistakes
Hold me close
Leap in the dark
We may never know who we are
Spare me tragedy
Endless torment
Grant me amnesty
To know forgiveness
Take a look at me now
I am nothing but a heartless overgrowth
Of all of my failure
All of my sin
Who am I to postpone the end
Take a breath and pray for me
Blood in my ears
The sound of you speaking my name
In the fire
What will become of
All that I’ve done?
Nothing
After all that I’ve given away
I’m still making the same mistakes
Hold me close
Leap in the dark
We may never know who we are
Face the facts
We fell into a cycle
Of bargaining our worth
You always spit in my face
Every time I see the pattern in your gaze
All of your missteps
All of your lies
Who are you to keep me alive?
Give me all the blame
Set a price to pay
Tell me that the past is not an endless pit of shame
I was called to fear
A God that’s coming near
And we’re all gonna rot
After all that I’ve given away
I’m still making the same mistakes
Hold me close
Leap in the dark
We may never know who we are
Is there anything left here to save?
Can you tell the truth right to my face?
Losing hope
Missing the spark
We will always wear each other’s scars
Face the facts
We fell into a cycle
Of bargaining our worth
Nowhere left
To replicate disciples
Or vanish from the earth
One day you’ll see
God takes away fucking everything
My lust
My greed
God takes away everything
Takes away everything
#Eidola #GodTakesAwayEverything #RiseRecords
Lyrics:
I am all, and I was made to suffer
I will watch as everything that I love dies
I am one, and I was ground down to nothing
#Eidola #AtmanAnIntroductionToSuffering #RiseRecords
Lyrics:
Worship
Like a man at the bottom
Like your life ain’t a fucking lie
Who made you apostle?
Built you up from an endless night?
Heraclitus was right
God is day and night
Leave your pretense in the deep end
When there’s no light inside
You will drown yourself in spite
I’m counting down the days
Until you’re all erased
Can you ever forgive me?
I’m on the edge of a knife
Calm yourself
Feel the ground
Some of us will never forget
Just take all of my memories
And give me back my life
Know yourself
In the sound
When I wake up as someone else
Oh how you’ll burn
In the hell you denied
All you heretics are blind
Mass flooding
Wash away the refuse from this place
Blades gutting
Every single skeptic without grace
Unburden
Those of us who chose a higher fate
No reason
Left for me to follow
All you hopelessly still searching in the dark
Can you ever forgive me?
I’m on the edge of a knife
Calm yourself
Feel the ground
Some of us will never forget
Just take all of my memories
And give me back my life
Know yourself
In the sound
When I wake up
Worship
Like a man at the bottom
Like my life ain’t a fucking lie
Who made me a prophet?
Fuck you and your endless pride
#Eidola #Ziggurat #RiseRecords
Lyrics:
Lights out
Everybody is a culprit
And no one leaves ungarnered
I think that everything that ever was
Was built on the backs of the martyrs
Now hell is just under the surface
Our constant beveling focus
I can’t stand when you won’t look me in the eye
I hate how you never cared
And nothing ever mattered until I gave up
On and on and on it takes its toll on me
I can’t imagine what it’s like to never feel ashamed
My life is a burden
Your dreams are a sham
Your purpose as worthless as the culture
You think you’re strong enough
To comprehend this weight?
Well I think you’re abysmal
I think you’re a fake
I won’t forget how you made me suffer
Now all my worst fears
They seem irrelevant now
This mortal shell is just a means to reason
On and on and on it takes its toll on me
I can’t imagine what it’s like to never feel ashamed
And if a fragment remains
Of my immortal estate
Don’t wake me up
Don’t let me break the cycle
My life is a burden
Your dreams are a sham
Your purpose as worthless as the culture demands
Do you ever wander aimlessly through life?
Meandering through the pointlessness of existence?
Feeling like the weight of the world could crush you at any moment?
Like nothing you ever do even matters?
A fistful of hornets
All this time I spent alone
Waiting for you here
As if there’s nothing else I can do
Who is the greater fool?
#Eidola #FistfulOfHornets #RiseRecords
Lyrics:
I will burn every bridge down in blood
Sour the fruit
Pull every ounce of sinew
From your rotten root
Fiend!
Pray to your God
While I sharpen the iron
I am the penitent man
An oracle for the contrite
I set the precedent
For disillusionment in my demise
If this is my last chance
I’m gonna show you that I was worthy all along
Cast out
An exodus from Eden
Suffocate me
In a spire of endless smoke
Until I’ve collapsed both of my lungs
There will be nothing left behind
But a carcass of brittle bone
I’ll destroy everything that you’ve grown
Everything that you’ve built from the inside
I will watch you suffer
And choke until you die
Seek out a way to finally end this
Endless contusion of my nervous system
This system will wear you down
If this is my last chance
I’ll give you something you can’t forget
You can’t escape the end
No you can’t erase the damage that you’ve done
Until everyone’s exposed
Because everyone’s a fake
And everyone’s a liar
And everyone’s a leech
And I’m so fucking tired
Snake
You were always an enemy
Stay
In the cage that you built for me
Rat
You disgust every part of me
Run
From your coming calamity
#Eidola #ABridgeOfIronAndBlood #RiseRecords
Lyrics:
I’ve learned that lashes steer the ship
That there’s a purpose for the whip
I ingratiate my demons
They’ll tell you that I don’t lose my clip
I know a man who lives to toil
He only exists to work the soil
I emasculate his reason
To keep them loyal
You!
Are you broken?
Losing focus?
Friedrich Nietzsche on a bender?
So unstable
Waiting for something to save?
I can’t give back
All of the light I stole
Pretend I never cared at all
I was made to loathe
I’m telling you that all I know is hate
And it ate all my faith
How I wish I was stronger in the end
When you see me again
Can I show you my pain?
Because we all get lost
Bring me the scalps of every king
So that the matriarch will sing
Televise the final rapture
Until they decide to pull the strings
I know a God who’d like to meet you
Infinite hell that will defeat you
And if you make yourself my enemy
Well I see your point of view
Tell me what you know
I need to heal you completely
Who are you now?
Stop!
Inward motion
Seek a vision
Imitate Nebuchadnezzar
Bleed your passion
Or get the fuck out of the way
I played my part
All of the lines I wrote
But I can’t force you to believe
I was made to lead
Fractured men from depravity
I’m telling you that all I know is hate
And it ate all my faith
How I wish I was stronger in the end
When you see me again
Can I show you my pain?
Because we all get lost
We all get lost
Who are you now?

Lyrics:
Build myself in the dirt
Sacred right sacred curse
Who of us
Expected dust
Promised gold and
Handed rust in return
For your life
And sacrifice
Did your job
Now rust and die
To be a man with nowhere to stand (where to stand)
Old tech with your dick left in your hand
You built the world. But can’t share it (can’t share it)
I’m sorry son. We’re not the ones to
inherit
Old souls
Not royalty. I want nothing. Solitude will prove.
I won’t lose
Forced to move
Forced to choose
Beyond bigons. My legs walk on
Land of the hurt.
The world I see but know but i could never be
Defined by
Designed by
But when my eyes shut
I know who I am
Hit the switch
To be a man with no where to stand
My plans reduced to what’s in my hand
Ground zero
Fists In the dirt
Simply born
Simply die
I was built
And designed
Low tech
Enemies to my kind
Fight the tide. Tow the line.
But I’m crudely made and refined in mind for this low tech

Lyrics:
You’re so convincing dressed up in sheep’s clothing but I’ve seen you naked
Wish I would listen to signs sent from heaven ‘cause I need the savin
Your lips are so damn addicting
And there’s so many reasons why I need to quit them
You’re so convincing dressed up in sheep’s clothing but I’ve seen you naked
You break my heart a little harder every time
I’m tired of lying to myself pretending I’m fine
How many times can I sell you my soul
To fill up this hole in my chest
Reaching for someone to take what I’ve got
Til I ain’t got nothing left
Well I know what I said but guess hell froze over again
So here I am my own blood on my hands
Back in your bed
Lost in the sheets
Letting the wolf sink her claws into me
No use in hiding
You know where to find me
It’s right where you left me
Led me to the darkness
Your eyes they were harmless until they were deadly
Can’t you just tell me
How many times can I sell you my soul
To fill up this hole in my chest
Reaching for someone to take what I’ve got
Til I ain’t got nothing left
Well I know what I said but guess hell froze over again
So here I am my own blood on my hands
Back in your bed
Lost in the sheets
Letting the wolf sink her claws into me

Lyrics:
How many times
Will I see you compromised?
Sit and watch you waste your life
Well now I’m moving on
I don’t keep your company
Within my spirit I’m alive
Speak low
Sing clearly
I’ll be the last one to survive
Head down
Don’t test me
I can feel it every time you’re giving in
I don’t mind
No I don’t mind
I will be the only one who’s left
To remember why we all get led astray
You always knew you’d fall behind
You’re a thorn in my side
I’ve been giving all I got and never giving up
While all you are is not enough
How many times
Will I see you miserable?
Set me up to take the fall
Well now I’m moving on
I don’t keep your company
Without a question I exceed
Speak low
Sing clearly
A simple phrase to plant a seed
Head down
Don’t test me
I can feel it every time you deprecate
Dying to subvert me
Well if you think that I will ever be
Another relentless mistake
Then I guess you don’t know me
You always knew you’d fall behind
You’re a thorn in my side
I’ve been giving all I got and never giving up
While all you are is not enough
I know it hurts like hell
But God I love to see you fail
I’m proliferating for the thrill
You can’t compare and you never will
You can’t compare and you never will
If you think that you can be the hero
Don’t expect to be the one who has a voice
If you believe that you’re a perfect person
If you believe that you’re the one who has no choice
Then come and take me out
You always knew you’d fall behind
You’re a thorn in my side
I’ve been giving all I got and never giving up
While all you are is not enough
I know it hurts like hell
But God I love to see you fail
I’m proliferating for the thrill
You can’t compare and you never will
Drink from a bottomless ocean
Fill your lungs with glass and concrete
In your sleepless devotion
I hope you find your star is a fading light

Lyrics:
So-
I don't think I ever let it go, no
I just hide things underneath the floorboards
And ignore
It
Jesus christ
If one more person tells me he looked nice
I guess that i’ll just stab out my own eyes if im
Deaf dumb and blind
to it
I'm the idiot
Cause i've been
Quiet, tired, losing sleep
I don't like to think you're having fun
I hope you suffer
(and) boys like you should rot for what they've done
Don't blame your mother
Bet you're crying like a baby
And pay to lie in therapy
I don't like to think you're having fun
Look what you’ve done, Look what you've
Done
Dang-
Mark hits women, I think he's to blame
Laughing like its all a little game
Must be insane
Got no brain, i've got no doubt
The more you fuck around
The more shit you'll find out
Cause i've been
Quiet, tired, losing sleep
I don't like to think you're having fun
I hope you suffer
(and) boys like you should rot for what they've done
Don't blame your mother
Bet you're crying like a baby
And pay to lie in therapy
I don't like to think you're having fun
Look what you’ve done, Look what you've
Done
Look what you've done
Look what you've done
I don't like to think you're having fun
No I hope you suffer
(and) boys like you should rot for what they've done
You mother fucker
Bet you're crying like a baby
And pay to lie in therapy
I don't like to think you're having fun
Look what you’ve done, Look what you've
Done

Lyrics:
This iteration chewed up and spit me out
No restitution for an empty man
My generation, useless and hollowed out
No revolution for the spineless, capricious pigs
Worthless pigs
Stare into an endless mass of liars and deceivers
Not a one among them tells the truth
Am I the only one
Grinding down my teeth?
The scenery I see is lingering in entropy
God tell me how
Am I the only one
Hearing vultures circling my fate?
A moment from my collapse
I’ll leave this all behind
Hold your breath under water
Do you feel it?
Aren’t you inspired?
Or are you motionless?
Leave your fear in the fire
Do you feed it?
Aren’t you so tired?
Of all the times you let it win?
If you bend it doesn’t mean you have to break
A pacifist finds his strength
A nomad escapes his fate
A gentle kiss in the falling rain
It’ll find you there
We are all eternity repeating
How many men will die
Trying to make this right?
You’ll become everything you fear
Hold your breath under water
Do you feel it?
Aren’t you inspired?
Or are you motionless?
Leave your fear in the fire
Do you feed it?
Aren’t you so tired?
Of all the times you let it win?
You always fucking let it win
Stare into an endless mass of tyrants and believers
Who will be the first to get the noose?
Am I the only one
Without a stone to throw?
I’m giving up again to find out what I’ve always known
God tell me how
Am I the only one
With nothing left to say?
With nothing left to give?
It always ends this way
A price I’ll always pay

Lyrics:
I woke up most inside my head
I feel my dopamine is dead
Sometimes life is too loud
I just can’t seem to catch a break
Always the one I love to hate
I just need a way out
I think I need a headspace holiday
From every single thought I can’t escape
‘Cause I want to forget everything I regret
I need a headspace holiday
I don’t wanna feel this way
My world is tangled like a web
I feel I’m hangin by a thread
Another face in the crowd
Am I just waiting for a change
It all keeps going up in flames
Let it burn to the ground
I think I need a headspace holiday
From every single thought I can’t escape
‘Cause I want to forget everything I regret
I need a headspace holiday
I don’t wanna feel this way
I wanna get away
I think I need a headspace holiday
From every single thought I can’t escape
‘Cause I want to forget everything I regret
I need a headspace holiday
If I could make it one more day
I need a headspace holiday
I don’t wanna feel this way

Lyrics:
I can’t go on wishing this one
Wasn’t something I can’t hide
Like a werewolf in a dungeon
Or the bride of Frankenstein
I want to tell you all there is to know
About the end of days
It’s just as well we take it slow
We’ll get their either way
When we break down
When we fall apart
You’ll be there
Smiling ear to ear
And, splashing around in our blood
Screaming goddamnit I cannot get enough
I can’t pretend I catch the meaning
Of these screaming maniacs
Cannot lend or lease or sue for peace
With terrorist attacks
I want to tell you all there is to know
About the end of time
It starts with you and ends with everyone deaf, dumb and blind
When we break down
When we fall apart
You’ll be there
Smiling ear to ear
And, splashing around in our blood
Screaming goddamnit I cannot get enough
Just leave me out to dry
I just need some time to think
Please I don’t need new reasons why
I was put on this planet to blink
Meet me at the bottom of the ocean
Meet me at the bottom of the sea
Scream my name from the highest mountain top
And string me up for everyone to see
When we break down
When we fall apart
You’ll be there
Smiling ear to ear
And, splashing around in our blood
Screaming goddamnit I cannot get enough
Just leave me out to dry
I just need some time to think
Please I don’t need new reasons why
I was put in this ocean to sink

Lyrics:
Meet me beneath the iron bones of former awnings
Kiss me out in the rain
We’ll see what’s to become of us and of our belongings
What will come of our pain
Meet me, meet me, meet me, meet me
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
We’ll see, we’ll see, we’ll see, we’ll see
Kill me, kill me, kill me, you’re killing me
I can’t believe my eyes
I just cannot seem to get my rotten head
Around this mess surrounding us
I, I can’t believe my eyes
I just cannot seem to get my rotten head
Around this mess surrounding us
And as the sky is falling
I’ll fall into your arms
Meet me down beneath the ashes of a former skyline
Kiss me out in the sun
Can’t see between the dancing flames and living daylight
I can’t see anyone
Meet me, meet me, meet me, meet me
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me, kiss me
We’ll see, we’ll see, we’ll see, we’ll see
Kill me, kill me, kill me, you’re killing me
I can’t believe my eyes
I just cannot seem to get my rotten head
Around this mess surrounding us
I, I can’t believe my eyes
I just cannot seem to get my rotten head
Around this mess surrounding us
And as the sky is falling
I’ll fall into your arms
Tell me a story
Sing me a song
Somebody save us
We don’t have long
Mommy I’m scared
Daddy I’m brave
Tell me I’m done for
But still getting paid
Control, control
Can anyone hear me
All is lost and our ship is sinking
SOS OS OS OS, oh yes
I can’t believe my eyes
I just cannot seem to get my rotten head
Around this mess surrounding us
I can’t believe my eyes
I just cannot seem to get my rotten head
Around this mess surrounding us
And as the sky is falling
I’ll fall into your arms
As the sky is falling
I fall
