1. Long Since
I’m -Here in the wreckage
Of what I thought I knew
Held by the refuse
Of what I hoped was true
Throwing out excuses
They are no friend to me
I have become
What I always feared I’d be
Long since I’ve been written out
Long since withered
The fool in a deck long since burned
Long since dead
I have been numbed and bleed out
Long since withered
Past out in heart shattered laps
Long since murdered
Six feet below
Under layers of Shrouded cloth
Am I so fooled to think
My innocents may not be lost
Long since I’ve been all drained out
Long since withered
The faith in my skin long erased
Long since dead
I have been wrecked and withdrawn
Long since withered
Cast out in times endless grasp
Long since murdered
I have become,
I have become,
I have become
Undone -x4
I have wasted
So many precious years
I’m tired of crying
Such pitiful anxious tears
Long since I’ve been written out,
Long since withered
The fool in a deck long since burned,
Long since dead
I have been numbed and bleed out
Long since withered
Past out in heart shattered laps
Long since murdered
I have become
I have become
I have become
Undone -x4
2. No One Came
Stripped of their pride,
They’ve been swept out by the rain
Family’s scattered wide,
Out across a flooded plain
The poor left for dead,
Only echoes of their names
Like lions they defended,
What little that remained
And no one came
And no one came
To save them
To save them
(Obliterate, wipe clean, never mind,
drown encapsulate and shroud)
Driven out to walk,
Roads littered with the dead
In the water bodies rot,
Every child ripped from their beds
On a journey far from home,
They know they must be strong
With nothing left to hold,
Just the clothes that they have on
Still no one came
Still no one came
To Hold them
To hold them
(Obliterate, wipe clean, never mind,
drown ,encapsulate and shroud)
The nation held its breath
How could this be correct
No one came to save them
As they tried to survive
The nation watched them die
Right in front of their very eyes
No one came to save them
As they tried to stay alive
Still no one came
As they were swept away
From their homes
From their homes
(Obliterate, wipe clean, never mind,
drown, encapsulate and shroud)
The nation held its breath
How could this be correct
No one came to save them
As they tried to survive
The nation watched them die
Right in front of their very eyes
No one came to save them
As they tried to stay alive
No one came……………..
3. Mary
Mary Don’t forget to breath
Mary its okay to bleed
Mary rest your soul child
Mary let atlas do his job for a while
Your mothers gone away
She didn’t say goodbye
Leaving you alone again
Her wrists bleeding out her life
You pretend this is not happening
If you can close your eyes tight enough
It might just be a dream
And there has been no tragedy
Oh lay your burden down- x4
Mary don’t forget to grieve
Mary its okay to scream
Mary let your anger flow
Mary this weight is not yours alone
You hold up everything
The Miles of blood and pain
Clinging to unanswered questions
Hoping someone can explain
I don’t know what I can say
To make this nightmare go away
She left you quickly in the night
There’s nothing that will make this right
So lay your burden down- x4
A piece of you has gone
You don’t have to act so fucking strong
She left you softly without a word
Its time to fall and feel the hurt
Oh lay your burden down- x4
4. Betrayer
Killing yourself off keeping my eyes covered
Is this how you feel loved when I ‘m a sucker
How dare you make me a believer
I thought you were dead, you are a betrayer
You made me cry, you mother fucker
Some messed up cruel joke you heartless monster
{Chorus}
I hate I ever care for you
I hate you for what you have done
I hate I ever trusted you
I hate you used me for your fun
Killing yourself off ..keeping my eyes covered
Is this how you feel loved when I ‘m a sucker
How dare you make me a believer
You make me sick you are a betrayer
You made me care you mother fucker
How could you do this you heartless monster
{Chorus}
Betrayer you’re a heartless monster
Betrayer you’re a heartless monster
I thought you were dead then you show up
Like nothings happened
Are you happy that your false death
Got the desired reaction.
You prayed on what little faith
I had left in human compassion
Does it prove to you
That someone cared for you
-In your twisted perception
I thought you were dead, you are a betrayer
You made me cry , you mother fucker
Some messed up cruel joke you heartless monster
You make me sick you are a betrayer
You made me care you mother fucker
How could you do this …you heartless monster
{Chorus}
Betrayer you’re a heartless monster
Betrayer you’re a heartless monster
5. All I Fear
This love, it has been jaded,
It seems that nothing ever stays the same
This love, it has been traded,
I’ve done everything to turn the page
This love, it has been traded,
And I’ve done everything just to turn the page
It feels so strange, on this side of the line
No matter what’s rearranged you’re always
You’re always in my mind
It feels so strange, on this side of the line
No matter how things change I still see you
I see you in the signs
Sideways of heaven we drank sweet tears
Of moans and whisperings
My heart is punctured steel
Debris, from all I fear
And its killing me -x8
This love has not been patient
It will not hold out against the pain
Suffocating in these tears.
I walked through silence ringing
Ground glass of countless mirrors
Bloodied by my fear
And its killing me -x8
It feels so strange, on this side of the line
No matter what’s rearranged you’re always
You’re always in my mind
It feels so strange, on this side of the line
No matter how things change I still see you
I see you in the signs
This love it has been faded,
I can find no comfort here ...
6. In The Ink
The touch, so soft and holding
In horizons waning breath
Tides dark inside the heart and telling
Of storms to come, the wave is rising.
The wave is rising….rising
The earth, Waits alive feigning sleep
The earth , turbulent underneath
The earth, hold is silent deep
Its sinking in the ink
Mars looks upon this danger mounting
An orange eye in a pitch sky
Like cloth blacker than sack, waves crashing
Air salt and thick, all life is drowning
The wave is rising….rising
The earth, sand on souls lost feet
The earth, lit in phosphorous blink
The earth filled with deadly drink
Its sinking in the ink
Rising, Rising
The earth, Waits alive feigning sleep
The earth , turbulent underneath
The earth, hold is silent deep
Its sinking in the ink
Sand on souls lost feet
Lit in phosphorous blink
Filled with the deadliest drink
Its sinking in the ink….
7. Tragic War
I will walk away
Cuz you don’t care anymore
That the anger you spew
Its driving me, its driving me though the floor
I watch you battle your self
Your own worst enemy
In the chaos you’ve created
So very carefully
I will walk away
I don’t cares anymore
Don’t let me keep you
From your from your tragic war
The Insanity that plagues the soul
Gravity’s feeling
That tumbles oh it tumbles and it roles
Dragging you down
Like black strap molasses in the veins
Wish I could see you
Through rose colored glass that hides the stains.
Safe inside your own personal hell
Where no one can touch you
Chained within a dark emotional cell
Driving away
All the people who care cant you see
Their trying to reach you
As you sit secure in your misery
I will walk away
I, I can’t take it anymore
I refuse to be dragged down with you
By your by your tragic war...
8. Closer
I am ripping at the seams
For the truth I cannot seem to reach
Scorching sand, blackens my eyes
Hiding the way, it stings me with its lies
Lies with its lies
On this faithless shore
Searching for the cracks in the door
Crowded thoughts in my twisting mind
Getting caught in my own search to find
The truth ...
To find the truth
To find the truth
Closer, Closer
Closer to the truth
On the edge of sense
I drop the stone, break the surface,
So I might see the ripples in the pool
They extend out closer too
The truth...
Closer to The truth
Closer to The truth
Closer,Closer
Closer to the truth.
9. Without It
Your lover, your hate,
Your pain, your destruction
It made love to your body
It tricked you to believe
It was needed to survive
To excuse the wounds that bleed
Your lover, your hate,
Your pain, your destruction
What you gonna do, without it
What you gonna do, without it
What you gonna do, without it
What you gonna do…
Mesmerized inside
The raging thrill
It Weaved behind
Carved out its spell
Look at yourself
From far removed
the graying of your skin
Inside out it swallows you
What you gonna do, without it
What you gonna do, without it
What you gonna do, without it
What you gonna do…
Your lover, your hate
Your pain , your destruction
Its not too late, Its not too late
Drenched in sweat
You reach for your escape
This plastic death
It Eats your soul away
The violent taste
Always remains
Tries to make you slip
Back down inside the shame
What you gonna do, without it
What you gonna do, without it
What you gonna do, without it
What you gonna do…x2
10. Listen
Sometimes I loose
The details and outlines
Things become blurry
And I can’t hear the voices of insight
Somehow I lost
The sharpness and the shine
Must pause a time and listen
To the messages in the chimes
CHORUS
Listen - To the world go by
Listen - The whisper in the skies
Listen - The noise is soft and white
Listen - A Seraphim’s distant cry
Listen - Seraphim’s distant cry
Listen - Telling me I’m still alive
Listen - A silent battle cry
Listen - Telling me I have to fight
Sometimes I feel
Life has lost its meaning
And I am slowly sinking
Into an endless dream
Somehow I stopped
Seeing beauty all around
The voice of Joy has left me
Llife camouflaged the sound
Chorus
½ Chorus End
11. The Space Between
I am a drowning pool,
The space between
Dark queen in the wood
They all want to drink
High above, gazing down
It all looks so clean
But deep, deep in my waters
Is where the madness clings
No sound, as I pull you down
You cannot breath
As I take away everything
Buried, Inside of my deep
You belong to me
And now you are mine to keep
I am a drowning pool
The space between
Dark queen holding
Onto others fallen dreams
Down, down into
My scarlet wake
Mouths open wide
Not even silent screams escape
No sound , as I pull you down
You cannot breath
As I take away everything
Buried, Inside of my deep
You belong to me
And now you are mine to keep
Laid to rest,
Inside of my depths
The space between
A fistful of stars
Under the reeds
You are caught in my endless dream
The space between
The space between
I have stripped away your humanity
I’m the space between
Your darkest queen
The space between...
