Never Forgive, Never Forget
Man, you've got a cold dark heart, and it burns with a guilty smoke.
You tell me 'just give in' and 'you've got nothing to lose', and I guess I would never know.
But I was damned from the very start and bound by crooked plan,
Then I was left for dead with my head to the ground and my hands tied behind my back.
Oh, you want to watch me crash?
You want to see me burn?
Just enough to fall apart, and then,
You want to see me crawl?
You need to watch me beg and lose it all.
Is it easier to take a hit than it is to throw the stone?
Better blood on your face; better blood on the ground; well I guess that I'll never know.
Cause it's best not to give a shit, and to speak in a timid tone.
Keep my tongue to my teeth; keep my ear to the ground and a blind eye to everyone.
Oh, you want to watch me crash?
You want to see me burn?
Just enough to fall apart, and then,
You want to see me crawl?
You need to watch me beg and lose it all.
Filth and Squalor
Somewhere there's a choice being made,
For the mass by the will of a broken few.
Guided by the hand of the guilty.
Praised as a cure for a curse.
When really this is all catastrophic,
And we're tethered to the hull of a sinking ship,
Scratching for a breath at the surface,
Praying for the ropes to slip.
I always knew that the damned would inherit the earth.
As soon as they learned to speak we would be suffering.
Sucking on the scraps of a wicked wealth,
But we were bound by need to vicious villainy.
Tear it down, start again.
Erasing every trace so stale scars can mend.
Then we will sing,
"The way things used to be..."
I always knew that the damned would inherit the earth.
As soon as they learned to speak we would be suffering.
Sucking on the scraps of a wicked wealth,
But we were bound by need to vicious villainy.
Tear it down, start again.
I always knew that the damned would inherit the earth.
As soon as they learned to speak, we would be suffering.
Choking on the scraps of a wicked wealth,
And we were bound by need to vicious villainy.
I always knew that the damned would inherit the earth.
As soon as they learned to breed we would be suffering.
Sucking on the scraps of a wicked wealth,
Then we were bound by need to vicious villainy.
Tear it down, start again.
Take More Than You Need
Torn away from the one thing I can rely on.
Beaten down to the core.
Just as long as there's enough to go around.
Take more than you need.
Take enough to hollow me out...
You give, and you give, and you give 'til there's nothing left to give,
Just a hole and the sin of the charitable.
I've been around long enough to remember why I don't give anymore.
Take more than you need.
Take enough to hollow me out...
Now wave goodbye,
And pray for peace of mind...
This Body
I'm struggling on strange extremities
To run after a light that keeps on dimming,
But these bones will only brittle and decay
While the space between my body and my mind keeps caving in.
Oh my god....
God~
This body's not a temple, it's a prison, yeah.
And every wall inside here is on fire, yeah.
I've been stirred by something wretched, something weary,
But the sentiment is starting to seduce.
Oh my god....
God~
This body's not a temple, it's a prison, yeah.
And every wall inside here is on fire, yeah.
But I can't say that I mind my body burning, yeah.
Cause this body's not a temple, it's a prison, yeah.
[I can't distinguish most of this part, but the last words are...]
....In an attempt
To
Do what
I
Thought
Was right.
This body's not a temple, it's a prison....
Your body's not a temple, it's a prison.
This body's not a temple, it's a prison.

I Couldn't Do It Alone
Feeling your body burn down into your bones,
Don't let it show.
Watching his body fall flat into the dirt,
You know it had to hurt and he begins to stand.
You're shaking again.
Bruising your body right down into your soul,
Oh, what a hole.
Busting your lip and now the blood begins to run.
You never had enough; he's coming back alone.
You're shaking again.
Wait, stay, pick it up if you want me please.
I couldn't do it alone. (A dead dog should know!)
I couldn't do it alone. (A dead man should know!)
Fake place, I knew you had it in you. Wait, stay.
Just long enough that you know. (A dead dog should know!)
Just long enough that you know. (A dead man should know!)
Busting your body right down into your soul.
Don't let it show.
Splitting your lip and now the blood begins to run.
You never had enough. He's coming back alone.
You're shaking again.
Wait, stay, pick it up if you want me please.
I couldn't do it alone. (A dead dog should know!)
I couldn't do it alone. (A dead man should know!)
Fake place, I knew you had it in you. Wait, stay.
Just long enough that you know. (A dead dog should know!)
Just long enough that you know. (A dead man should know!)
A Curse of Cynicism
It's a curse in a cycle of misbelief, and it keeps on happening.
A tradition, a trail of deceit. I never stopped and questioned:
"Why is it so damned hard to find anyone who can get behind such a simple plot?"
Keep your eye on the prize,
Keep your eye on the prize!
Think what you want. Believe what you think.
And know what you believe, 'cause it's all misconceived.
And I asked you for nothing! Nothing but "why?"
"Because" isn't an answer, it's just a reply.
It's a cure. A disciple of belief, and it keeps you here with me, and it keeps on happening.
And I never meant to kill the prize like an unreliable fire.
Anyone can get behind.
Get your eye on the prize, on the prize!
Ohhh, I am cynical. I am cynical.
It's a curse! It's a curse!
I am cynical, I have nothing you want.
Take everything, don't leave anything.
Hollow me, take the core, leave nothing at all.
I am cynical -- nothing left.
Ohhh, I am cynical. I am cynical.
It's a curse! It's a curse!
Deny It All
The hollow stick to arrogance that binds.
But good faith and fortune rarely reward our cries.
While we wait and carefully see.
Deny and borrowed tonight.
Deny -- Deny it all and it all will go away.
Close your eyes and deny it all and it all will go away.
Nursing stale history and the apathy it brings.
Too fascinated by the most material things.
While we wait carefully and see.
Deny and borrowed tonight.
Deny -- Deny it all and it all will go away.
Close your eyes and deny it all and it all will go away.
Never took you long to pray.
Either way, I spend you like I know some better way.
Force of habit. Now it takes a while to pray.
In a way, you spit me out. You changed my name.
Deny -- Deny it all and it all will go away.
Close your eyes and deny it all and it all will go away.
We've Got A Score To Settle
Calm down, you won't gain any ground if you're shaking from head to toe.
And if you'd wake up you'd be weary to lie 'cause discerning eyes will know.
Your words carry the weight of the world, and they're waiting for that shoe to drop.
So you sit down, you give in, and they get up,
And they yelled:
"Someone's got blood on their hands! Someone's got blood on their hands!"
With a stone cold glare and a crooked grin,
You know exactly what we're saying when we say:
"Someone's got blood on their hands! Someone's got blood on their hands!
Forget about truth and consequence.
We've got a way to deal with this."
And if you're good maybe they'll be light on you.
Long as you dance just like they want you to.
Just shelter that look in your eyes and think about staying alive.
Sit down, give in, when they get up.
And they yell:
"Someone's got blood on their hands! Someone's got blood on their hands!"
With a stone cold glare and a crooked grin,
You know exactly what we're saying when we say:
"Someone's got blood on their hands! Someone's got blood on their hands!
Forget about truth and consequence.
We've got a way to deal with this."

Echo
Swaying back and forth.
Drunk, looking for more.
Pressing my tongue to my teeth, no sound.
Skin begin to crawl.
Stomach start to fall.
Feeling my lungs quicken pace and blood begin to run.
Echo a name in the night.
Bodies alone battle cry.
Are we in love, or did we cross the line?
Maybe we're passing time one on one.
One on one.
Stuck On A Wire, Out On A Fence
I'm standing still staring at the sun.
Fashioning ends of oblivion.
But it's just a common misconception.
I'm screaming in but I'm silent out.
My best to suss what I'm all about.
Leaving bread crumbs back to central station.
Stuck on a wire and out on a fence.
Putting it up to second chance.
Suffering through the common sense.
Losing it all to gain it back.
I'm coming in but I'm leaving out
Everything you get on about.
Speak in tongues seducing fabrication.
I'm throwing curse like I'm throwing stones.
And checking sins that I can't atone.
But I'm here demanding satisfaction.
Stuck on a wire and out on a fence.
Putting it up to second chance.
Suffering through the common sense.
Losing it all to gain it back.
A Sea Of Solid Earth
Alarming awe rushed through my bones,
Compelling me to the unknown.
I took a step, one step too far.
I felt no ground beneath my feet.
No familiar feeling was leading me,
Just hollow charm pushing me along.
A final breath with tongue in cheek
Crossed the sun with sullen speak.
Make no mistake, it weighs on me.
The choices made echo and ring.
The walls are humming with a soft suspicious song,
Suggesting that I've been mistaken all along.
But the words become deformed while the notes fall and distort.
A final breath with tongue in cheek
Crossed the sun with sullen speak.
Make no mistake, it weighs on me.
The choices made echo and ring.
But There's Wolves?
Wide smiles baring teeth can't fake what's underneath,
'Cause I don't want to waste any time.
You've got crooked speak -- broke words from suffering,
But I don't mean to make any lies.
I'm not waiting -- no, not waiting here!
Ankles bound to cinders, watch them burn!
You've got rare appeal with conscience atrophied,
'Cause you don't need to waste any time.
But I'm not the kind to wait, model to instigate,
But always end up towing the line.
I'm not waiting -- no, not waiting here!
Ankles bound to cinders, watch them burn!
In just a moment we can let it all decay, or we can step right out into the sun.
Don't shudder, own it, or you'll find at any moment that you've lost it all before it's begun.
Y E L L O W
She's Always Singing
Your voice arose to the top of the tones that rushed around,
And I became addicted to that sound.
And every other lover in this city has got their song to sing,
But none of them ring in my ears.
The clamor calmed, and when you cleared your throat and spoke gracefully,
My body swayed with every word you'd speak.
And every other lover in this city has got their song to sing,
But none of them ring, but none of them ring in my ear.
Ba ba ba~....ooh~...etc.
And every other lover in this city has got their song to sing,
But none of them ring, but none of them ring, but none of them ring....
The Dead Don't Starve
Raise the dead and hope the living learn to live with it.
Cutting heads, demanding reparations for your kin.
While some will starve.
I understand
That you never had enough.
'Cause enough for someone
Is not enough for you.
Caving in and catering to thoughts are paper thin.
Won't go unknown.
I understand
That you never had enough.
'Cause enough for someone
Is not enough for you.
A Sua Voz
I'm calling out your name, can you really hear me?
And do these words still feel the same?
The timbre of your voice is losing its clarity,
Is feigning transparency, but I--
Am struggling to keep my heart from failing.
But every time I do I find my body caving and
My mind just melts away.
I guess I shouldn't blame you for being ambiguous.
I know that it's innocent, but you--
Are keeping me from building something intimate.
But I'll give in if you want me to.
'Cause I'm struggling to keep my heart from failing.
But every time I do I find my body caving and
My mind just melts away.
I'm struggling to keep my heart from failing.
But every time I do I find my body caving and
My mind just melts away.
Misplaced Devotion
Hey Girl, let's lose ourselves today.
We can go anywhere we need to get away.
So say the word and we'll turn around and leave this place behind.
Come on, you're never gonna need him.
That's why you're in my room tonight.
So go on, you know you need it.
That's why you're in my room tonight.
I knew you'd be coming back to me.
I never thought that you'd have the courage to ever leave.
And you are better off sticking right where you are.
So come on, you're never gonna need him.
That's why you're in my room tonight.
So go on, you know you need it.
That's why you're in my room tonight.

The Things That Hide Away
Waking up I felt that hesitation,
Like I wasn't meant to wake up at all.
Letting out a soft cynical sigh,
"My god it's just the answer
to the question I can't find."
Marching on, it's one foot then the other.
Better than one foot then none at all.
Biting off way more than I can chew,
like I sometimes do.
I never know just when and where to stop.
Why are we here? Why do we die?
Maybe we're just never meant to know why.
Why are we here? Why do we die?
Why, why why?
Oooh...
The Canopy
I was spinning through the air when I thought my life was ending,
But I was really on the ground and you were lying right there next to me.
I looked right into your eyes and I found myself pretending
That we were high above the canopy but tethered to the trunk of a tree.
Slow down, take time and see the forest for the leaves.
I know that I should practice what I preach.
I was falling to the ground when I felt my body breaking,
But I had fallen in your lap with my head tilted back so I could see
The sun eclipsed by your hair that left a halo hanging.
Waiting above so when you go you don't have to wait to get your wings.
Slow down, take time and see the forest for the leaves.
I know that I should practice what I preach.
Crow And Cackle
The crow and cackle of persistent innocence.
Elated in argument. I'm empty and wondering
If you're only saying what I wanted you to say.
'Cause you're only saying what I wanted you to say.
So I'll just wait until our time
Slips through the cracks, falls to the ground shattering.
I'll just keep waiting for something to improve.
Something to move ahead.
'Cause I'm only saying what you wanted me to say.
The slow and steady sound of silence hunts us down.
I'm empty and wondering what you sent me, what you're offering.
'Cause you're only saying what I wanted you to say.
Yeah, you're only saying what I wanted you to say.
So I'll just wait until our time
Slips through the cracks, falls to the ground shattering.
I'll just keep waiting for something to improve.
Someone to move ahead.
So I'll just wait until our time
Slips through the cracks, falls to the ground shattering.
I'll just keep waiting for something to improve.
Something to move ahead.
'Cause I'm only saying what you wanted me to say.
The Inheritance
Mouths to feed won't sleep til he arrives,
So he brings his work home.
Late nights waste away plotting a plan.
Tracing the steps he needs to take
Til he says:
"My job is done.
You're old enough, it's time to leave this home and go on your own.
I know it's hard,
But it's not my problem anymore.
Not anymore."
Eyes closed, children rest unaware,
So he keeps their lights dim.
And angels hold their tongues up above
With a scowl, shaking their fists
When he says:
"My job is done.
You're old enough, it's time to leave this home and go on your own.
I know it's hard,
But it's not my problem anymore.
Not anymore."
"My job is done.
You're old enough, it's time to leave this home and go on your own.
We had our run,
Now you're old enough to run down your track, so don't look back.
I know it's hard,
But it's not my problem anymore.
Not anymore."

Tripping In Triplets
There must be something that keeps me awake
Or some kind of pill I can take to break these bad habits.
I would lie if I said that this didn't get tough.
Two left feet on the floor in a waltz at an odd tempo.
Am I stuck at the ankle or caught at the knee?
A curious puzzle still cursing me
To follow or lead.
You gave me a heart and then taught me to hurt.
I can't tell just which option is worse: dying pure, or aware.
So these feet keep on tripping in triplets to beats
Too far off for my ears to reach just a hint of timing.
Am I stuck at the ankle or caught at the knee?
A curious puzzle still cursing me
To follow or lead.
And I don't know where I'm going
'Cause I can't see the road. Oh, it's winding.
Just as long as I keep breathing
I got this uncomfortable feeling.
Heavy feet, shaky hands, troubled heart.
Trapdoor
Every now and then I get down,
This cup of gin picks me right back up.
Lately I've been drowning in this chair.
Time again, I'm never here.
Lost in my head,
Hand to my heart,
I swear that I'll try.
Don't go.
Lately I've been losing sleep.
Heavy eyes and weary.
But every now and then I find myself
Stuck in a way I can't get out of.
Lost in my head,
Hand to my heart,
I swear that I'll try.
Don't go.
You say that you've heard it before
That the pitch and the tone are unsure.
But the weight of your words is too much.
And the look in your eyes, oh it cuts.
Darling, don't abandon me,
Please just take a breath and you'll see
That not everything here is lost
And the profits will outweigh the cost
If the only thing that you want
Is love.
What You Said
Starved eyes looking for something soft.
Don't go astray.
You were in love before tonight.
And what made you change your mind?
Was it what she said?
Was it what you said?
Don't spend your time worried about what's right.
And turn around, and walk away, and close your eyes.
Imagine what you would say if she treated you that way.
It wouldn't feel good, but this feels better.
Flushed skin, glowing from treachery.
Plotting an exit.
It never ends as good as it begins.
And what of her?
What will she think?
And does she even need to know?
Don't spend your time worried about what's right.
Turn around, and walk away, and close your eyes.
Imagine what you would say if she treated you that way.
It wouldn't feel good enough to risk it all, to spoil your love,
But this feels better.
But this feels better.
The Collapse Of The Great Tide Cliffs
I thought that I was framed front and center,
But I'm distant and your depth of field is shallow.
Low light turn to night,
And all can be ignored.
Blind eyes, preoccupied
With the surface more than the core.
Ohh....
Though my lens is cracked right down the center, I saw you.
And through shattered light your beauty remained flawless.
Low light turn to night,
And all can be ignored.
Blind eyes, preoccupied
With the surface more than the core.
Ohh....

What Time Taught Us
Love, you crawl.
It's all coming back now.
But the thing of it is
That it never really was.
Hooo~
Intuition never suited, so
I kept it outside.
Ahhh~
Be alive,
'Cause nothing lasts for good,
Or like you thought it would.
Nothing's as it seems,
Or what you thought it'd be....
Mandala
I lost my place in the world.
It left me behind.
Now my soul is unbound.
And my mind is free to roam
Around....
Thoughts drip down to words on a page
All scrawled in a foreign tongue.
Circles tending towards the center
Lead you back to none.
You can cry.
You can beg.
You can plead.
You can pray.
You may doubt it, apathetic, but you never had control.
You saw what you wanted, but the rest was terrible.
Pull back the curtain and reveal the guilty,
So the veil can be lifted and the well will overflow.
You've been here before.
You've seen it all.
But your conscience won't recall.
And your eyes are barely wide
Enough to recognize
What your heart keeps giving up.
And someday it might win.
If your mind's giving in,
Just try and lose yourself.
Or do your best 'til then.
Progress
Your heart is open but your eyes stay closed enough to keep actuality away.
It's such a passive motion, you cast a careless hand to the air.
"Give me something to hope for."
And the only thing that brings me back is love.
And the only thing that brings me back is love.
Your mind is open but your mouth stays closed enough to keep painful words from falling out.
With every ounce of passion I speak 'til my lungs both billow out.
"I'll give you something to hope for."
And the only thing that brings me back is love.
And the only thing that brings me back is love.

Mr. Malum
Mr. Malum's got a secret he keeps when giving speeches.
Just a whispering precision that cuts through hesitation with a sharp
And able wit to keep the dogs at bay.
When the truth arrives, you won't believe your eyes.
He's triumph's pessimist, but he's no less content.
With the world in the grip of his hands,
He'll crush the air out of its lungs.
Say "We don't want him to have it all",
But now it's just too late to ask
Because his hold has turned so tight.
His puppets to the left and his pawns to line the right.
But every eye is front and center.
A cool intoxication from the sap that trickles down his branches
To their mouths.
When the truth arrives, you won't believe your eyes.
A vicious champion, but he's no less content.
With the world in the grip of his hands,
He'll crush the air out of its lungs.
Say "We don't want him to have it all",
But now it's just too late to ask
Because his hold has turned so tight.
The air we're barely breathing's not enough.
And in this final gasp that rattles us to bed,
The last thing that we will see is Mr. Malum
Tighten his tie
One slip of his suit.
A link to the cuff
And the shine of his shoes.
But when the truth arrived,
You didn't trust your eyes.
Cry "We don't want him to have it all",
But now it's just too late to ask.
Yeah, you had your chance,
But you turned away again...
Yeah, you had your chance,
But you turned your eyes away again.
Lillian
She was stuck in pictures,
While he passed time in film.
Oh, silly fame, why do you play
Frame by frame, day by day?
With reels changing over
And dropping to the sides.
Oh, solemn soul, see where you are.
And look to the sides at what you discard.
Press your lips to mine,
Breathe in deep and lie.
When the cameras roll,
Hide away your soul.
Flash your eyes.
Forge a smile.
Entertain.
But don't get stuck in something
You hate.
Bring me the eyes of the earth.
Cut off the tongue of the world.
Keep the ends close in sight
To the means that imply
You're not living the life that you're worth.
Pressing your lips to mine,
Breathe in deep and lie.
When the cameras roll,
Hide away your soul.
Flashing your eyes to sell.
Lying to yourself.
Dodging truth from the start.
Hide away your heart.
Turn around.
Forge a smile.
Entertain.
But don't get stuck in something painful.
Something worse than nothing.
We could have been smart
With the plot from the start.
Mistakes from the spark.
We knew it wasn't love.
Breathe in deep and lie.
When the cameras roll,
Hide away your soul.
Flash your eyes.
Forge a smile.
Entertain.
Too Late
Pages burn on a porcelain plate.
The smoke fills the air.
As if all along it was our fate.
Our fate that brought you and I near.
Green shag carpets damp from last night's beer.
You signed your glass with a kiss
And the scent of lipstick everywhere.
Now it rests on a water-stained chair.
And the last remaining pieces of you.
Dirty on the ground,
And nothing left to be found between us.
Struggling to relive those moments lost.
You lost a bet when you met me, dear.
But I thought I'd won the lottery.
The smell of smoke still in the air.
Last night proved how wrong I'd be.
But the last remaining pieces of you.
Dirty on the ground,
And nothing left to be found between us.
Struggling to relive those moments.
Lost and dead on the ground.
With nothing left to be found between us.
Breathing in one last breath
As I inhale the scent of you.
Stale cigarettes and red wine residue.
A haunting suggestion of you
On the tip of my tongue.
Dirty on the ground,
And nothing left to be found between us.
Struggling to relive those moments.
Lost and dead on the ground.
With nothing left to be found between us.
Breathing in one last breath
As I inhale the scent of you.
Look Away
The need to quantitate has put center stage: regret, remorse, regard.
C-c-crazed and calm with a sinner's psalm, memories lose their art.
So I circle thoughts with centered eyes that stare without ever seeing.
But it's getting dim, and just before any reasons can be revealed,
I fall.
And I don't want to get up.
Just leave me down here, down where the truth won't go.
No, I don't want to give up.
Just dust me off and I swear you'd never know.
Oh, no.
Look away.
Shade your eyes.
Don't.
Stop.
Then there's the simple fact that I was born this way.
In such a taut assimilation of mistakes.
And don't you misjudge what I'm capable of.
If I'm heir to a broken will
I'll fall.
And I won't want to get up.
Just leave me down here, down where the truth won't go.
No, I don't want to give up.
Just dust me off and I swear you'd never know.
Look away.
Shade your eyes.
Don't.
Stop.
And leave the pain behind, casting fear to the side.
For just a moment so things can align.
And if I fall, sometimes that's just fine.
As long as I get up, then things are alright.
Oh, no.
Don't look away.
Don't shade your eyes.
Don't stop.
W H I T E
Home
With the good chance that we crash, let's say our grace.
And in your final breath believe you're not alone.
Help will come.
Yeah, you can come back home.
'Cause help is on the way.
Yeah, you can come back home.
So come back home.
As your eyes begin to fade, your mind will wander
This life is just a game we play that we can never win, but don't give up.
No, don't give up.
Help will come.
Yeah, you can come back home.
'Cause help is on the way.
Yeah, you can come back home.
So come back home.
Now in the end it's coming clear you're not alone.
'Cause everyone you ever loved is waiting here for you, so don't give up.
No, don't give up.
Yeah! 'Cause help will come.
Yeah, you can come back home.
'Cause help is on the way.
Yeah, you can come back home.
So come back home.
Fall And Flee
We all become memories after having gone.
Dancing in the light flickering behind their eyes.
I'm hoping it's showing
My heart never stopped growing
I'll take comfort in knowing
This melody has
Never been sung
With these words
They come and then we go.
Goodbye.
Our hopes will tend to fall and flee
Awry.
Trying to make the most even after we all know.
We're giving up the ghost. A final glow before we burn.
I'm hoping it's showing
My heart never stopped growing
I'll take comfort in knowing
This melody has
Never been sung
With these words
They come and then we go.
Goodbye.
Our hopes will tend to fall and flee
Awry.
Ohh.
Goodbye.
And I'm hoping it's showing
My heart never stopped growing
I'll take comfort in knowing
No God
No god could teach me what my father did.
No promise of heaven kept me warm when my mother tucked me in.
No hope for salvation kept me from sin.
Just a small intuition not to do what all the bad ones did.
And what comes next is a mystery to me.
I guess I'll have to wait and see.
'Cause everything that I ever knew could just fall apart.
I only know what I've been told.
And I was told what others know.
And others know what they were told told
And they were told what others know.
No way to tell what's wrong or right.
No fear of dying keeps me alive.
And all we know is what we're told.
And we were told what others know.
And all they know is what they're told.
And they were told what others know.
No way to tell what's wrong or right.
No fear of dying keeps me alive.
Lost But Not All Gone
Somewhere I was lost.
Off but not all gone.
Gave me
Nothing
Of
God.
Come here mister, take in no love.
Even if it canvases so.
When the blind eye never liked
What the wide eye never sees.
Here I lie the same I fell at first.
Give me anything but apathy or love and curse.
Waiting for my soul to wake and come alive again.
Can I not torment this
With a canon of assisted duress?
Here I lie the same I fell at first.
Give me anything but apathy or love and curse.
Waiting for my soul to stir and wake, rejoice, and come alive again.
Here I go the same I fall at first.
Give me anything but apathy or love and curse.
Waiting for my soul to wake and come alive again.

Never Forgive, Never Forget
Man, you've got a cold dark heart, and it burns with a guilty smoke.
You tell me 'just give in' and 'you've got nothing to lose', and I guess I would never know.
But I was damned from the very start and bound by crooked plan,
Then I was left for dead with my head to the ground and my hands tied behind my back.
Oh, you want to watch me crash?
You want to see me burn?
Just enough to fall apart, and then,
You want to see me crawl?
You need to watch me beg and lose it all.
Is it easier to take a hit than it is to throw the stone?
Better blood on your face; better blood on the ground; well I guess that I'll never know.
Cause it's best not to give a shit, and to speak in a timid tone.
Keep my tongue to my teeth; keep my ear to the ground and a blind eye to everyone.
Oh, you want to watch me crash?
You want to see me burn?
Just enough to fall apart, and then,
You want to see me crawl?
You need to watch me beg and lose it all.
Filth and Squalor
Somewhere there's a choice being made,
For the mass by the will of a broken few.
Guided by the hand of the guilty.
Praised as a cure for a curse.
When really this is all catastrophic,
And we're tethered to the hull of a sinking ship,
Scratching for a breath at the surface,
Praying for the ropes to slip.
I always knew that the damned would inherit the earth.
As soon as they learned to speak we would be suffering.
Sucking on the scraps of a wicked wealth,
But we were bound by need to vicious villainy.
Tear it down, start again.
Erasing every trace so stale scars can mend.
Then we will sing,
"The way things used to be..."
I always knew that the damned would inherit the earth.
As soon as they learned to speak we would be suffering.
Sucking on the scraps of a wicked wealth,
But we were bound by need to vicious villainy.
Tear it down, start again.
I always knew that the damned would inherit the earth.
As soon as they learned to speak, we would be suffering.
Choking on the scraps of a wicked wealth,
And we were bound by need to vicious villainy.
I always knew that the damned would inherit the earth.
As soon as they learned to breed we would be suffering.
Sucking on the scraps of a wicked wealth,
Then we were bound by need to vicious villainy.
Tear it down, start again.
Take More Than You Need
Torn away from the one thing I can rely on.
Beaten down to the core.
Just as long as there's enough to go around.
Take more than you need.
Take enough to hollow me out...
You give, and you give, and you give 'til there's nothing left to give,
Just a hole and the sin of the charitable.
I've been around long enough to remember why I don't give anymore.
Take more than you need.
Take enough to hollow me out...
Now wave goodbye,
And pray for peace of mind...
This Body
I'm struggling on strange extremities
To run after a light that keeps on dimming,
But these bones will only brittle and decay
While the space between my body and my mind keeps caving in.
Oh my god....
God~
This body's not a temple, it's a prison, yeah.
And every wall inside here is on fire, yeah.
I've been stirred by something wretched, something weary,
But the sentiment is starting to seduce.
Oh my god....
God~
This body's not a temple, it's a prison, yeah.
And every wall inside here is on fire, yeah.
But I can't say that I mind my body burning, yeah.
Cause this body's not a temple, it's a prison, yeah.
[I can't distinguish most of this part, but the last words are...]
....In an attempt
To
Do what
I
Thought
Was right.
This body's not a temple, it's a prison....
Your body's not a temple, it's a prison.
This body's not a temple, it's a prison.

I Couldn't Do It Alone
Feeling your body burn down into your bones,
Don't let it show.
Watching his body fall flat into the dirt,
You know it had to hurt and he begins to stand.
You're shaking again.
Bruising your body right down into your soul,
Oh, what a hole.
Busting your lip and now the blood begins to run.
You never had enough; he's coming back alone.
You're shaking again.
Wait, stay, pick it up if you want me please.
I couldn't do it alone. (A dead dog should know!)
I couldn't do it alone. (A dead man should know!)
Fake place, I knew you had it in you. Wait, stay.
Just long enough that you know. (A dead dog should know!)
Just long enough that you know. (A dead man should know!)
Busting your body right down into your soul.
Don't let it show.
Splitting your lip and now the blood begins to run.
You never had enough. He's coming back alone.
You're shaking again.
Wait, stay, pick it up if you want me please.
I couldn't do it alone. (A dead dog should know!)
I couldn't do it alone. (A dead man should know!)
Fake place, I knew you had it in you. Wait, stay.
Just long enough that you know. (A dead dog should know!)
Just long enough that you know. (A dead man should know!)
A Curse of Cynicism
It's a curse in a cycle of misbelief, and it keeps on happening.
A tradition, a trail of deceit. I never stopped and questioned:
"Why is it so damned hard to find anyone who can get behind such a simple plot?"
Keep your eye on the prize,
Keep your eye on the prize!
Think what you want. Believe what you think.
And know what you believe, 'cause it's all misconceived.
And I asked you for nothing! Nothing but "why?"
"Because" isn't an answer, it's just a reply.
It's a cure. A disciple of belief, and it keeps you here with me, and it keeps on happening.
And I never meant to kill the prize like an unreliable fire.
Anyone can get behind.
Get your eye on the prize, on the prize!
Ohhh, I am cynical. I am cynical.
It's a curse! It's a curse!
I am cynical, I have nothing you want.
Take everything, don't leave anything.
Hollow me, take the core, leave nothing at all.
I am cynical -- nothing left.
Ohhh, I am cynical. I am cynical.
It's a curse! It's a curse!
Deny It All
The hollow stick to arrogance that binds.
But good faith and fortune rarely reward our cries.
While we wait and carefully see.
Deny and borrowed tonight.
Deny -- Deny it all and it all will go away.
Close your eyes and deny it all and it all will go away.
Nursing stale history and the apathy it brings.
Too fascinated by the most material things.
While we wait carefully and see.
Deny and borrowed tonight.
Deny -- Deny it all and it all will go away.
Close your eyes and deny it all and it all will go away.
Never took you long to pray.
Either way, I spend you like I know some better way.
Force of habit. Now it takes a while to pray.
In a way, you spit me out. You changed my name.
Deny -- Deny it all and it all will go away.
Close your eyes and deny it all and it all will go away.
We've Got A Score To Settle
Calm down, you won't gain any ground if you're shaking from head to toe.
And if you'd wake up you'd be weary to lie 'cause discerning eyes will know.
Your words carry the weight of the world, and they're waiting for that shoe to drop.
So you sit down, you give in, and they get up,
And they yelled:
"Someone's got blood on their hands! Someone's got blood on their hands!"
With a stone cold glare and a crooked grin,
You know exactly what we're saying when we say:
"Someone's got blood on their hands! Someone's got blood on their hands!
Forget about truth and consequence.
We've got a way to deal with this."
And if you're good maybe they'll be light on you.
Long as you dance just like they want you to.
Just shelter that look in your eyes and think about staying alive.
Sit down, give in, when they get up.
And they yell:
"Someone's got blood on their hands! Someone's got blood on their hands!"
With a stone cold glare and a crooked grin,
You know exactly what we're saying when we say:
"Someone's got blood on their hands! Someone's got blood on their hands!
Forget about truth and consequence.
We've got a way to deal with this."

Echo
Swaying back and forth.
Drunk, looking for more.
Pressing my tongue to my teeth, no sound.
Skin begin to crawl.
Stomach start to fall.
Feeling my lungs quicken pace and blood begin to run.
Echo a name in the night.
Bodies alone battle cry.
Are we in love, or did we cross the line?
Maybe we're passing time one on one.
One on one.
Stuck On A Wire, Out On A Fence
I'm standing still staring at the sun.
Fashioning ends of oblivion.
But it's just a common misconception.
I'm screaming in but I'm silent out.
My best to suss what I'm all about.
Leaving bread crumbs back to central station.
Stuck on a wire and out on a fence.
Putting it up to second chance.
Suffering through the common sense.
Losing it all to gain it back.
I'm coming in but I'm leaving out
Everything you get on about.
Speak in tongues seducing fabrication.
I'm throwing curse like I'm throwing stones.
And checking sins that I can't atone.
But I'm here demanding satisfaction.
Stuck on a wire and out on a fence.
Putting it up to second chance.
Suffering through the common sense.
Losing it all to gain it back.
A Sea Of Solid Earth
Alarming awe rushed through my bones,
Compelling me to the unknown.
I took a step, one step too far.
I felt no ground beneath my feet.
No familiar feeling was leading me,
Just hollow charm pushing me along.
A final breath with tongue in cheek
Crossed the sun with sullen speak.
Make no mistake, it weighs on me.
The choices made echo and ring.
The walls are humming with a soft suspicious song,
Suggesting that I've been mistaken all along.
But the words become deformed while the notes fall and distort.
A final breath with tongue in cheek
Crossed the sun with sullen speak.
Make no mistake, it weighs on me.
The choices made echo and ring.
But There's Wolves?
Wide smiles baring teeth can't fake what's underneath,
'Cause I don't want to waste any time.
You've got crooked speak -- broke words from suffering,
But I don't mean to make any lies.
I'm not waiting -- no, not waiting here!
Ankles bound to cinders, watch them burn!
You've got rare appeal with conscience atrophied,
'Cause you don't need to waste any time.
But I'm not the kind to wait, model to instigate,
But always end up towing the line.
I'm not waiting -- no, not waiting here!
Ankles bound to cinders, watch them burn!
In just a moment we can let it all decay, or we can step right out into the sun.
Don't shudder, own it, or you'll find at any moment that you've lost it all before it's begun.
Y E L L O W
She's Always Singing
Your voice arose to the top of the tones that rushed around,
And I became addicted to that sound.
And every other lover in this city has got their song to sing,
But none of them ring in my ears.
The clamor calmed, and when you cleared your throat and spoke gracefully,
My body swayed with every word you'd speak.
And every other lover in this city has got their song to sing,
But none of them ring, but none of them ring in my ear.
Ba ba ba~....ooh~...etc.
And every other lover in this city has got their song to sing,
But none of them ring, but none of them ring, but none of them ring....
The Dead Don't Starve
Raise the dead and hope the living learn to live with it.
Cutting heads, demanding reparations for your kin.
While some will starve.
I understand
That you never had enough.
'Cause enough for someone
Is not enough for you.
Caving in and catering to thoughts are paper thin.
Won't go unknown.
I understand
That you never had enough.
'Cause enough for someone
Is not enough for you.
A Sua Voz
I'm calling out your name, can you really hear me?
And do these words still feel the same?
The timbre of your voice is losing its clarity,
Is feigning transparency, but I--
Am struggling to keep my heart from failing.
But every time I do I find my body caving and
My mind just melts away.
I guess I shouldn't blame you for being ambiguous.
I know that it's innocent, but you--
Are keeping me from building something intimate.
But I'll give in if you want me to.
'Cause I'm struggling to keep my heart from failing.
But every time I do I find my body caving and
My mind just melts away.
I'm struggling to keep my heart from failing.
But every time I do I find my body caving and
My mind just melts away.
Misplaced Devotion
Hey Girl, let's lose ourselves today.
We can go anywhere we need to get away.
So say the word and we'll turn around and leave this place behind.
Come on, you're never gonna need him.
That's why you're in my room tonight.
So go on, you know you need it.
That's why you're in my room tonight.
I knew you'd be coming back to me.
I never thought that you'd have the courage to ever leave.
And you are better off sticking right where you are.
So come on, you're never gonna need him.
That's why you're in my room tonight.
So go on, you know you need it.
That's why you're in my room tonight.

The Things That Hide Away
Waking up I felt that hesitation,
Like I wasn't meant to wake up at all.
Letting out a soft cynical sigh,
"My god it's just the answer
to the question I can't find."
Marching on, it's one foot then the other.
Better than one foot then none at all.
Biting off way more than I can chew,
like I sometimes do.
I never know just when and where to stop.
Why are we here? Why do we die?
Maybe we're just never meant to know why.
Why are we here? Why do we die?
Why, why why?
Oooh...
The Canopy
I was spinning through the air when I thought my life was ending,
But I was really on the ground and you were lying right there next to me.
I looked right into your eyes and I found myself pretending
That we were high above the canopy but tethered to the trunk of a tree.
Slow down, take time and see the forest for the leaves.
I know that I should practice what I preach.
I was falling to the ground when I felt my body breaking,
But I had fallen in your lap with my head tilted back so I could see
The sun eclipsed by your hair that left a halo hanging.
Waiting above so when you go you don't have to wait to get your wings.
Slow down, take time and see the forest for the leaves.
I know that I should practice what I preach.
Crow And Cackle
The crow and cackle of persistent innocence.
Elated in argument. I'm empty and wondering
If you're only saying what I wanted you to say.
'Cause you're only saying what I wanted you to say.
So I'll just wait until our time
Slips through the cracks, falls to the ground shattering.
I'll just keep waiting for something to improve.
Something to move ahead.
'Cause I'm only saying what you wanted me to say.
The slow and steady sound of silence hunts us down.
I'm empty and wondering what you sent me, what you're offering.
'Cause you're only saying what I wanted you to say.
Yeah, you're only saying what I wanted you to say.
So I'll just wait until our time
Slips through the cracks, falls to the ground shattering.
I'll just keep waiting for something to improve.
Someone to move ahead.
So I'll just wait until our time
Slips through the cracks, falls to the ground shattering.
I'll just keep waiting for something to improve.
Something to move ahead.
'Cause I'm only saying what you wanted me to say.
The Inheritance
Mouths to feed won't sleep til he arrives,
So he brings his work home.
Late nights waste away plotting a plan.
Tracing the steps he needs to take
Til he says:
"My job is done.
You're old enough, it's time to leave this home and go on your own.
I know it's hard,
But it's not my problem anymore.
Not anymore."
Eyes closed, children rest unaware,
So he keeps their lights dim.
And angels hold their tongues up above
With a scowl, shaking their fists
When he says:
"My job is done.
You're old enough, it's time to leave this home and go on your own.
I know it's hard,
But it's not my problem anymore.
Not anymore."
"My job is done.
You're old enough, it's time to leave this home and go on your own.
We had our run,
Now you're old enough to run down your track, so don't look back.
I know it's hard,
But it's not my problem anymore.
Not anymore."

Tripping In Triplets
There must be something that keeps me awake
Or some kind of pill I can take to break these bad habits.
I would lie if I said that this didn't get tough.
Two left feet on the floor in a waltz at an odd tempo.
Am I stuck at the ankle or caught at the knee?
A curious puzzle still cursing me
To follow or lead.
You gave me a heart and then taught me to hurt.
I can't tell just which option is worse: dying pure, or aware.
So these feet keep on tripping in triplets to beats
Too far off for my ears to reach just a hint of timing.
Am I stuck at the ankle or caught at the knee?
A curious puzzle still cursing me
To follow or lead.
And I don't know where I'm going
'Cause I can't see the road. Oh, it's winding.
Just as long as I keep breathing
I got this uncomfortable feeling.
Heavy feet, shaky hands, troubled heart.
Trapdoor
Every now and then I get down,
This cup of gin picks me right back up.
Lately I've been drowning in this chair.
Time again, I'm never here.
Lost in my head,
Hand to my heart,
I swear that I'll try.
Don't go.
Lately I've been losing sleep.
Heavy eyes and weary.
But every now and then I find myself
Stuck in a way I can't get out of.
Lost in my head,
Hand to my heart,
I swear that I'll try.
Don't go.
You say that you've heard it before
That the pitch and the tone are unsure.
But the weight of your words is too much.
And the look in your eyes, oh it cuts.
Darling, don't abandon me,
Please just take a breath and you'll see
That not everything here is lost
And the profits will outweigh the cost
If the only thing that you want
Is love.
What You Said
Starved eyes looking for something soft.
Don't go astray.
You were in love before tonight.
And what made you change your mind?
Was it what she said?
Was it what you said?
Don't spend your time worried about what's right.
And turn around, and walk away, and close your eyes.
Imagine what you would say if she treated you that way.
It wouldn't feel good, but this feels better.
Flushed skin, glowing from treachery.
Plotting an exit.
It never ends as good as it begins.
And what of her?
What will she think?
And does she even need to know?
Don't spend your time worried about what's right.
Turn around, and walk away, and close your eyes.
Imagine what you would say if she treated you that way.
It wouldn't feel good enough to risk it all, to spoil your love,
But this feels better.
But this feels better.
The Collapse Of The Great Tide Cliffs
I thought that I was framed front and center,
But I'm distant and your depth of field is shallow.
Low light turn to night,
And all can be ignored.
Blind eyes, preoccupied
With the surface more than the core.
Ohh....
Though my lens is cracked right down the center, I saw you.
And through shattered light your beauty remained flawless.
Low light turn to night,
And all can be ignored.
Blind eyes, preoccupied
With the surface more than the core.
Ohh....

What Time Taught Us
Love, you crawl.
It's all coming back now.
But the thing of it is
That it never really was.
Hooo~
Intuition never suited, so
I kept it outside.
Ahhh~
Be alive,
'Cause nothing lasts for good,
Or like you thought it would.
Nothing's as it seems,
Or what you thought it'd be....
Mandala
I lost my place in the world.
It left me behind.
Now my soul is unbound.
And my mind is free to roam
Around....
Thoughts drip down to words on a page
All scrawled in a foreign tongue.
Circles tending towards the center
Lead you back to none.
You can cry.
You can beg.
You can plead.
You can pray.
You may doubt it, apathetic, but you never had control.
You saw what you wanted, but the rest was terrible.
Pull back the curtain and reveal the guilty,
So the veil can be lifted and the well will overflow.
You've been here before.
You've seen it all.
But your conscience won't recall.
And your eyes are barely wide
Enough to recognize
What your heart keeps giving up.
And someday it might win.
If your mind's giving in,
Just try and lose yourself.
Or do your best 'til then.
Progress
Your heart is open but your eyes stay closed enough to keep actuality away.
It's such a passive motion, you cast a careless hand to the air.
"Give me something to hope for."
And the only thing that brings me back is love.
And the only thing that brings me back is love.
Your mind is open but your mouth stays closed enough to keep painful words from falling out.
With every ounce of passion I speak 'til my lungs both billow out.
"I'll give you something to hope for."
And the only thing that brings me back is love.
And the only thing that brings me back is love.

Mr. Malum
Mr. Malum's got a secret he keeps when giving speeches.
Just a whispering precision that cuts through hesitation with a sharp
And able wit to keep the dogs at bay.
When the truth arrives, you won't believe your eyes.
He's triumph's pessimist, but he's no less content.
With the world in the grip of his hands,
He'll crush the air out of its lungs.
Say "We don't want him to have it all",
But now it's just too late to ask
Because his hold has turned so tight.
His puppets to the left and his pawns to line the right.
But every eye is front and center.
A cool intoxication from the sap that trickles down his branches
To their mouths.
When the truth arrives, you won't believe your eyes.
A vicious champion, but he's no less content.
With the world in the grip of his hands,
He'll crush the air out of its lungs.
Say "We don't want him to have it all",
But now it's just too late to ask
Because his hold has turned so tight.
The air we're barely breathing's not enough.
And in this final gasp that rattles us to bed,
The last thing that we will see is Mr. Malum
Tighten his tie
One slip of his suit.
A link to the cuff
And the shine of his shoes.
But when the truth arrived,
You didn't trust your eyes.
Cry "We don't want him to have it all",
But now it's just too late to ask.
Yeah, you had your chance,
But you turned away again...
Yeah, you had your chance,
But you turned your eyes away again.
Lillian
She was stuck in pictures,
While he passed time in film.
Oh, silly fame, why do you play
Frame by frame, day by day?
With reels changing over
And dropping to the sides.
Oh, solemn soul, see where you are.
And look to the sides at what you discard.
Press your lips to mine,
Breathe in deep and lie.
When the cameras roll,
Hide away your soul.
Flash your eyes.
Forge a smile.
Entertain.
But don't get stuck in something
You hate.
Bring me the eyes of the earth.
Cut off the tongue of the world.
Keep the ends close in sight
To the means that imply
You're not living the life that you're worth.
Pressing your lips to mine,
Breathe in deep and lie.
When the cameras roll,
Hide away your soul.
Flashing your eyes to sell.
Lying to yourself.
Dodging truth from the start.
Hide away your heart.
Turn around.
Forge a smile.
Entertain.
But don't get stuck in something painful.
Something worse than nothing.
We could have been smart
With the plot from the start.
Mistakes from the spark.
We knew it wasn't love.
Breathe in deep and lie.
When the cameras roll,
Hide away your soul.
Flash your eyes.
Forge a smile.
Entertain.
Too Late
Pages burn on a porcelain plate.
The smoke fills the air.
As if all along it was our fate.
Our fate that brought you and I near.
Green shag carpets damp from last night's beer.
You signed your glass with a kiss
And the scent of lipstick everywhere.
Now it rests on a water-stained chair.
And the last remaining pieces of you.
Dirty on the ground,
And nothing left to be found between us.
Struggling to relive those moments lost.
You lost a bet when you met me, dear.
But I thought I'd won the lottery.
The smell of smoke still in the air.
Last night proved how wrong I'd be.
But the last remaining pieces of you.
Dirty on the ground,
And nothing left to be found between us.
Struggling to relive those moments.
Lost and dead on the ground.
With nothing left to be found between us.
Breathing in one last breath
As I inhale the scent of you.
Stale cigarettes and red wine residue.
A haunting suggestion of you
On the tip of my tongue.
Dirty on the ground,
And nothing left to be found between us.
Struggling to relive those moments.
Lost and dead on the ground.
With nothing left to be found between us.
Breathing in one last breath
As I inhale the scent of you.
Look Away
The need to quantitate has put center stage: regret, remorse, regard.
C-c-crazed and calm with a sinner's psalm, memories lose their art.
So I circle thoughts with centered eyes that stare without ever seeing.
But it's getting dim, and just before any reasons can be revealed,
I fall.
And I don't want to get up.
Just leave me down here, down where the truth won't go.
No, I don't want to give up.
Just dust me off and I swear you'd never know.
Oh, no.
Look away.
Shade your eyes.
Don't.
Stop.
Then there's the simple fact that I was born this way.
In such a taut assimilation of mistakes.
And don't you misjudge what I'm capable of.
If I'm heir to a broken will
I'll fall.
And I won't want to get up.
Just leave me down here, down where the truth won't go.
No, I don't want to give up.
Just dust me off and I swear you'd never know.
Look away.
Shade your eyes.
Don't.
Stop.
And leave the pain behind, casting fear to the side.
For just a moment so things can align.
And if I fall, sometimes that's just fine.
As long as I get up, then things are alright.
Oh, no.
Don't look away.
Don't shade your eyes.
Don't stop.
W H I T E
Home
With the good chance that we crash, let's say our grace.
And in your final breath believe you're not alone.
Help will come.
Yeah, you can come back home.
'Cause help is on the way.
Yeah, you can come back home.
So come back home.
As your eyes begin to fade, your mind will wander
This life is just a game we play that we can never win, but don't give up.
No, don't give up.
Help will come.
Yeah, you can come back home.
'Cause help is on the way.
Yeah, you can come back home.
So come back home.
Now in the end it's coming clear you're not alone.
'Cause everyone you ever loved is waiting here for you, so don't give up.
No, don't give up.
Yeah! 'Cause help will come.
Yeah, you can come back home.
'Cause help is on the way.
Yeah, you can come back home.
So come back home.
Fall And Flee
We all become memories after having gone.
Dancing in the light flickering behind their eyes.
I'm hoping it's showing
My heart never stopped growing
I'll take comfort in knowing
This melody has
Never been sung
With these words
They come and then we go.
Goodbye.
Our hopes will tend to fall and flee
Awry.
Trying to make the most even after we all know.
We're giving up the ghost. A final glow before we burn.
I'm hoping it's showing
My heart never stopped growing
I'll take comfort in knowing
This melody has
Never been sung
With these words
They come and then we go.
Goodbye.
Our hopes will tend to fall and flee
Awry.
Ohh.
Goodbye.
And I'm hoping it's showing
My heart never stopped growing
I'll take comfort in knowing
No God
No god could teach me what my father did.
No promise of heaven kept me warm when my mother tucked me in.
No hope for salvation kept me from sin.
Just a small intuition not to do what all the bad ones did.
And what comes next is a mystery to me.
I guess I'll have to wait and see.
'Cause everything that I ever knew could just fall apart.
I only know what I've been told.
And I was told what others know.
And others know what they were told told
And they were told what others know.
No way to tell what's wrong or right.
No fear of dying keeps me alive.
And all we know is what we're told.
And we were told what others know.
And all they know is what they're told.
And they were told what others know.
No way to tell what's wrong or right.
No fear of dying keeps me alive.
Lost But Not All Gone
Somewhere I was lost.
Off but not all gone.
Gave me
Nothing
Of
God.
Come here mister, take in no love.
Even if it canvases so.
When the blind eye never liked
What the wide eye never sees.
Here I lie the same I fell at first.
Give me anything but apathy or love and curse.
Waiting for my soul to wake and come alive again.
Can I not torment this
With a canon of assisted duress?
Here I lie the same I fell at first.
Give me anything but apathy or love and curse.
Waiting for my soul to stir and wake, rejoice, and come alive again.
Here I go the same I fall at first.
Give me anything but apathy or love and curse.
Waiting for my soul to wake and come alive again.
