Talisman
03:11
|
|||
The talisman swings
From a noose not a gold chain
As I’m revered as a god
The savior sings
Regal and slithering
Playing the role of a god
It echoes in silence
I came for the sex
But I stayed for the violence
You were built to survive
I’ll be taken back
As long as I’m taken alive
This begins the divide
The separation of self
Softly skinned alive
Shattered and sacred now
(Revive your vengeful side)
Time after time after time after life
Scattered and wasted now
(Revive your vengeful side)
Time after time after time after life
I’d kill to save you now
It echoes in silence
I came for the sex
But I stayed for the violence
You were built to survive
I’ll be taken back
As long as I’m taken alive
This begins the divide
The separation of self
Softly skinned alive
I’d die to save you now
The bets and bargains remain
Benevolent or insane
And now you’re playing
The fucking odds
It’s the wrong time
In the right place
And now you’re playing with
Fucking gods
You were built to survive
I’ll be taken back
As long as I’m taken alive
This begins the divide
The separation of self
Softly skinned alive

Fire and Flood
03:52
|

Set oceans on fire
Let the waves melt
Everything we stand on
Let the tide take it all
We had this coming all along
A residence for villains
You would swear the devil sleeps here
They never get any rest
And so the cycle persists
And we resist the reset
Everything has come and gone
Illuminating the night
As we ignite the sky
(Chorus)
The cycle decimates
More than we could ever love
Wearing verdicts like crowns
Like we’ve already been judged
Distinctly distracted
Like the man to fame
A catalyst for discord
Like a fan to the flame
Create whatever chaos keeps you comfortable
Mistakes were meant to be made
They were sent to invade
But the sites already full
Illuminating the night
As we ignite the sky
(Chorus)
Set oceans on fire
Set oceans on fire
Everything you love
Will be replaces with waves
Everything digested
By the tide and flame
Illuminate the night
As it’s washed away
As we ignite the sky
(Chorus)
Set oceans on fire
Set oceans on fire
Let the tide take it all

Severing the Dissonance
02:42
|
|||
You wanted the impossible
Unholy tryst
The safe the victim and the pessimist
Get out with your protest
Is this hard to imagine
Gave up what we protected
I know you better than this
Begging just to get off
Speaking soft like wanted
More than anything
Just to set it off
Convinced you’re serving
And severing the dissonance
The envy the enemy the discipline
Commanding respect
I don’t wanna give up on this
I don’t want to give in to this
I don’t wanna give up on this
I don’t wanna give in
Get out with your protest
Is this hard to imagine
Gave up what we protected
I know you better than this
I gave myself to you
You gave me back myself
I don’t care if we find the truth
I just need some kind of answer
I don’t care if we find the truth
All I need is some answered
Get out with your protest
Is this hard to imagine
Gave up what we protected
I know you better than this

The Burial
02:46
|
|||
I’ll take a stab in the dark
Until I feel it bleed out
Or until I get it right
They’re both one in the same
Some things weren’t
meant to escape
That’s why they’re dead
And lying there
You’re gonna try and tear me down
I’m gonna try to tear you open
Revel in your relevance and
Circumvent your circumstance
By choking on the words you said
Until your dead mother
Dead mother fucker dead
There will be no bias between
The sinners and saints
Or the hookers and thieves
You’re all dead to me
Fire. Ready. Aim.
You’re gonna try and tear me down
I’m gonna fucking tear you open
Revel in your relevance and
Circumvent your circumstance
By choking on the words you said
Until your dead mother
Dead mother fucker dead
I’ll take a shot in the dark
Until it lights up this place
Loaded and pointed
In your face
Just know that no one is safe
And you will never escape
That’s why you’re dead
And buried there

Fight Like Hell
04:10
|
|||
Fight just like
your backs against the wall
Fight like hell
Just to fail just to fall
Fight just like
Your backs against the wall
Fight like hell just to save it all
You can’t make fire feel fear
You can’t just force the smoke to clear
It’s violent, it’s vital
And it’s destined to
Become a phantom to you
Fight just like
your backs against the wall
Fight like hell
Just to fail just to fall
Fight just like
Your backs against the wall
Fight like hell just to save it all
Lacerated and so fucking weak
Bruised and broken
Down to fragments of teeth
But close to
Dead as dead can be
You’ve said enough
without saying a thing
So just leave me
Here to bleed
I don’t believe
you never really said a thing
You said enough
without saying a thing
But one thing you could never say
You got the best of me
Let’s let the night decide
To be the death of my
Realization I was born to fight
Or born to die
Fight just like
your backs against the wall
Fight like hell
Just to fail just to fall
Fight just like
Your backs against the wall
Fight like hell just to save it all
Addicted to the hex you create
For what it’s worth I sold the curse
And now the debt has been paid
Convince me convict
I’m determined to
Become a demon to you
It’s time to fight
Just like your backs against the wall

Noise in the Signal
03:01
|
|||
You’re cut out so lifelike
Razor like
From side to side
As the memory fades
I can prove that you’re real
We’d have it all if you stayed
You’re not cut out for this life
Broken and hollow in the light
From side to side
So frail and empty
Who you are is just a disguise
Worn down into nothing
As the memory fades
I can prove that you’re real
We had it all
Just as we remain
Forge and sharpen blades
Scorned and never saved
As the memories fades
I can prove that you’re real
We’d have it all if you stayed
But it’s just noise in the signal

Fell For Fiction
03:18
|
|||
You fell for fiction this time
I hardly had to try
The perfect punch-drunk punch line
You felt the fiction this time
And now you’re wondering why
Were ending up right back here
And I am because we are
And I am because we were
If it were up to me, we would never be
Attached to the outcome
If it were up to me, we would never say
You’re part of the collection
So grab your guns we’re overrun
By the overrated
You’re far too modest to be
Almost done and overcome
By the loving hatred
We’re ending up right back here
And I am because we are
And I am because we were
If it were up to me, we would never be
Attached to the outcome
If it were up to me, we would never say
You’re part of the collection
We collect what the wind blows in
It’s weighing down
And we play but we never win
Now we’re loosing it all
And we play but we never win
And we’re loosing it all
If it were up to me, we would never be
Attached to the outcome
If it were up to me, we would never say
You’re part of the collection
