1. Only the End of the World Again
I feel the needle. It breaks the skin
It's the end of all
I feel the walls. they are closing in
It's the end of all
Everything just falls apart
Feels like the end
I've been in this same place before
Seems so familiar
It's the end of all
Lying face down. I'm on the floor
The Morning after
It's the end of all
Everything just falls apart
Feels like the end
2. Even the Vultures Have Moved On
What did you think you would find?
Buried in the dark of th night
Holding you close. was i blind and naive
Was it that obvious?
Nurture the need to conceal
We're going to lose it all.
Given the chance to prevail. to rise up
But you've crawled into my heart
Given the time and space
We could escape the enemy
But there's a sense that all hope is gone
On this desolate landscape
The scavengers scale for prey
You offer no reply
Someday you will find your way through time.
Someday you will follow secure in something more.
Sickly sweet. sinful greed
The leeches stake their claim
You offer a kiss and a sigh
Go ahead make your bed here of sand and stone
Plant your feet in the soil
Let the fertile seed sink in
The carrion doves. they command us
Beyond the dark horizon
Among the wastelands
Amid the land of broken hearts
It's just a mound of flesh and bones
That's all we are
The cast of many faces. exalt the process
Now it's done.
Even the vultures have moved on
3. Delores Lesion
There's a bruised and broken sky. It's pressed up against us
But odds are. there's a heaven burning down below.
The words rise from the north and float there on the wind.
Like a soft and subtle whisper.
Immortal like a wondrous feeling. so profound....
Leaving the cathedral. angels open the gates.
Reminders for the congregation judgmentt day
Attend the keeping of all our glory.
The scars cut so deep.
Peeling through our souls. we've lost our way home....
Stripped of our dignity
Promises mean everything
In a world so cold. Never to be redeemed
Will you suffer?
Her lachrymal squander in the distance.
For lusts that she waits for so scorn
An image so pale and so pure. yet so beautiful
Her face is plastered on the walls
and it seems to be so indelible
so unfathomable that we're both lost here
To commence the call. & endure the struggle
What a stronghold to face
A command to fall. a condemned prayer
Have you fallen from grace?
Promises mean everything
In a world so cold. Never to be redeemed
Will you suffer?
Redeemer
4. Ether
5. Follow Through
Every time you walk away. every single word you say
It just lingers right there in front of me
Every time i hear your voice. it's though i haven't got a choice
....and it's so hard to belive in anything
Run forever. run away in spite of all the pain
I doubt myself and I've given up
On almost everything
Cry out for more when you want to close the door
wast away. Follow through I heard you say
Every time you confront me. I'm the one who feels nothing.
...and I hate myself for what i have become
You gave me a second chance. but i threw it all away
....and everything means nothing to me now
Run forever. run away in spite of all the pain
Feel the failure. ever after
Tied to everthing
Would you reach out for me?
It's just an empty space.
Am I the one to blame?
Living for your sake
The moon. it pulls the tides
And the day breaks down.
Within the starlit sky. leave it all behind.
6. Desolation Breeds
Striking body. soul & mind w/ everything i've seen
Seems so out of reach. adapted to time
To it's place. to it's host. to restore some hope
The distractions. so stale. so futile
Silence tries to hide, the emptiness inside.
Deluding what you feel. what you thought was real
Siliecne tries to hide the plan that you contrive
The Nothingness you fear now consumes you
Desolation breeds, the bitter man you are
It's all in vain. the therapy
The conscious mind seems so powerless
The evidence is so unrelenting.
How is it that you sleep?
A subversive release
The secrets that you keep.... they all define:
A Bias, an agenda, the people that you hurt
Letting go of the solitude & denial
Descending down an unmarked path
Oblivion, the devine plan
Assume the role of someone else
Delay until the hours pass
Letting go. you can't hold on
A struggle to find something more
Enamored by the shadow of one's self
Solace and damnation
7. Dark Haired Girl
We made it through Spetember
w/ lust & dying embers
Tell me that is all we were.
Now look at what we've done
Look at what we've become
What three words will do
...and you said
I won't be there when you fall
I won't be there when you break down
Dark Haired Girl
Where did you go?
You live in a broken world
and we stand alone
But darling who knew
That when we were created.
We'd be suffocated
By such despair & loneliness
Still. we stand as a witness
And die by the sickness
That this thing called love induces.
Dark Haired Girl
Where did you go?
In this broken world
You left me all alone
8. Fragments of My Relection
If I could be someone. I'd play the fool.
W/ broken glass & shattered dreams
To gather up my memories of you
Failure sets in these wounds
...and I'm torn apart inside/this time
What's real draws to a close
A reflection of all I've done wrong
I'm not the man I used to be
I need the greif & misery to set me free
Half of me is dead and gone
Off all I've ever tried to be
Reveals what I don't want to see
Fragments are all I have, to document this life
(Picking up the pieces)
Look away not to face the guilt & the shame
... that weighs me down
I'm haunted by what resides inside
Or what hides behind my soul
Striving to find the core.
The face appears in the mirror.
The flaws & all the signs of age
Fragmented scenes from a memory
Struggling, to find my own identity
Look away not to face the guilt & the shame
... that weighs me down
