5. Blood Red Letter
6. Veal is the REAL Deal
1. Swine Wear Masks Fashioned Out of Arrogance
Perfection is an elaborate myth and flaws are beautiful reality
Masks are made to hide the inner swine that feed on the ego instrument
Milky skin has subterranean scars
Feed the need for the latest fad
They know not what they do
Milky skin has subterranean scars
Is this the dream of American youth?
American youth-
They know not what they do
Falling Down
If we continue this new tradition we will stumble in our egotistical footsteps and be planted in the ground rotting
Your mouth is open wide, tell us the Hot Topic
Fashion queens and murderers
2. Remains of the Day
After the day has burned away will I still believe?
After the night has begun will I fall asleep or will my eyes freeze open?
I have witnessed the inferno
I've seen the punishments
I've tasted wine and fire
I've suffered every spike
Melting like candle wax
I'm dripping through all the cracks
I've traveled through the layers and breathed in the smoke
I've traveled to the land of the dead, inhaled the heat and burned my lungs
3. 6 vs. 7
You said this would never happen and now you stand in the middle of denials with a wilted rose
The devils have quenched their thirst
Wide of the mark holding that dying rose
You bask in the silhouette of the icon animal
The devils have quenched their thirst and swallowed the morning star
Ladies and gentleman please take your seats
The curtain opens
Let the entertainment begin
Yea baby there's no doubt they own the stage tonight and they brought hands full of brimstone
They throw the flames like rain
Run for cover they've taken control of the theatre
4. Another Argument with Myself
Will you be my guardian?
Defend my heart from the reptiles
Will you help me see the road?
Scrape the film from my eyes
Will you embrace my dreams or feed all my nightmares?
Are you a cherished friend or a disguised and despised enemy?
Are you back once more to rub my faults in my face?
Rotten wood hugs the window and a myriad of stains makes in hard to see the other side
I imagine a meadow that covers the earth like winter blankets
Accept me I am you
Wrap me in concrete arms
Smother me in your breath
5. Blood Red Letter
A blood red letter
My final thoughts smeared on the paper
Depart from me I never knew you
Trapped in the corner your soul weeps as the walls crumble
There's nowhere to turn the guilt lies in your jaw
Swallow your broken teeth
Dragged down to the bottom where all is abandoned
Dressed in sorrow
Consumed by fire
Now your ashes in my hands
Depart from me
I throw you in the wind
Etched in glass a promise to you
I will keep an open eye but only to see through the words you cleverly disguise
Liar
Depart from me
6. Veal is the REAL Deal
