I see the sky open its teeth
I feel the air enveloping me
I know the edge is drawing me near
Let the earth swallow up, bring an end to all fear

Moral Decline
04:39
|

|
Excellences, control them away
Excellences, control them away
Passions dissolved by our medications
Our only resolve is our reservation
Excellences, we’ve pissed them away
Differences, expound them to faith
Nobody dares speak, they’ll take them away
Ego has always held sway of the many
They lash out, they speak love
While eating our penance
Moral decline
The only path left to take back the mind
Moral decline, take back the mind
Moral decline, take back what’s mine

Chest of Drawers
03:05
|
|||
|
I want to feel like I’ve been living lifetimes
Etheric visions kept behind closed doors
A chest of drawers wrapped in gossamer
Waiting, now unseen
Collapsing inward from wombs obscene, it lies
Hidden, floating in when the head snaps back
Living lifetimes has locked our souls away
Wrest yourself back and taste the drops of honey in your veins
You’re the idol

Faith
04:05
|
|||
|
slit the throats
of those who decide to weep
over their broken teeth and their empty pockets
take their tears
and plant a dogwood tree
carve out a cross for me
and my pessimism
they’re killing faith
we’ve lost our faith
there’s time to go and find our devotion
you’ve lost your faith
don’t lose your faith
you’ll soon be laying outside existence
come with me, let misery go
don’t lose your faith
you’ll soon be laying outside existence
come with me, let misery go

turnpike overpass
platelets flow and flood the silence
atmosphere aligns
red lights flash and fill my eyelids
though all of this is vain
I don't mind, I feel devotion
coming out my pores
don't cling to life, embrace the ocean
take me over, hang me overhead
don't let yourself become what you're fearing
when the end draws near
my only hope is that you'll be there
shining, justified
finally knowing truth from the lies
but I can't keep a hold on you
existence constantly intrudes
you lose control, the past won't hold
you make it home, it still won't hold
take me over, hang me overhead
don't let yourself become what you're fearing

Glimpse of Life
03:01
|
|||
|
And I, I thought I saw it in your eyes
I thought I saw a glimpse of life
I thought I saw a glimpse of life
I thought I saw it in your eyes
But you, you were wearing a disguise
Selfish terror idolized
You were wearing a disguise
There was no glimpse of life
And what’s so very strange about this
Is I can’t even feel
Chambers of the heart come open
Lord knows what is real
Echoes of the past come often
But leave unfulfilled
And despite my better judgement
I think I see a glimpse of life
I think I see it in your eyes
I think I see a glimpse of life
Don’t give up faith
Love’s no mistake

Turn and Turn About
04:16
|

|
for blissful moments
my heart’s content
I lose focus
and it’s lost in the past
and I can’t take it back
that blissful moment
I’m wide awake
before I know it
it’s lost in the past
and I can’t get it back
escaped awake from every nightmare
except the one that’s neverending
it stares back
brutalized, spent, an empty body
covered in legions, vacant, torrid
it stares back
turn and turn about
give yourself up to the tyranny of being common

Burial Ground
03:30
|
|||
|
graveyard, in the silent night
graveyard, alive for all time
I rot in the graveyard, night skies
never touch my wounds or my open eyes
can’t walk, can’t speak, can’t even cry
as the maggots make meals of my past life
I pray for heaven
I pray for Hell
I pray for anything else
but to live in my mind while the rest of me dies
darkness is my sole companion
decomposing pine scent
in my cold and fallen station
days spent, nothing left but patience
waiting for the day when
I can fucking die
graveyard, in the silent night
graveyard, alive for all time

Promise Me Your Heart
03:41
|
|||
|
I walk this hallway
Just to hear you moan
I know it’s not the way
But I can’t get enough
Our time is overhead
You wanna know me better
But I can’t hold you back
Just listen to your voice
I want this to be love
This silver doorway
Slowly falls apart
But I can’t hold it back
Cause I know it’s not
The end of everything
We are the ones we love
I’ll slowly make a way
Just promise me your heart
this broken falling mirror
I’m stuck inside your restless mind
this daunting foe
the rest of me
it’s simple just a moment of the infinite

Words of Hope and Solace
03:05
|
|||
|
Cut from the sky, faultless and feathered
Now barely alive, chiefly a gaping mouth
Feel your insides, feast in a coffin
Thrown on the pyre, only a pile of dust
Don’t pretend it’s of any importance
