5. The Frozen Divide
1. Manchild In The Promised Land
See the bloodstained grass as it burns.
Throw forth your hand to me.
Fields of glowing cables against the night sky.
Funny how you speak to me, with your poison tongue.
Killer, as I scratch at the cold stone.
Killer, it crumbles to my knees.
I still kept you alive.
But you buried me when you gave in to denial, so far astray.
Burned by the words left unsaid.
I'm holding on to the scripts you ressurected.
Saved by something you can1t see - it's in the air,
it's in the earth, and it rests inside the hearts of the dying.
Killer, as i scratch at the cold stone.
Killer, it crumbles to my knees.
I still kept you alive,
but you killed and killed and killed again,
killed, killed again, killed.
2. Porcelain
Turn to me, see my tears,
this season falls dark again,
your rubine eyes cut through me,
i feel your sulfuric breath.
Live with this sickness for a lifetime.
Wake from your bed of broken glass.
Kill your grace for just one moment.
Pray that this plague will go away.
Tear into me with talons soaked in rain.
These deep winter scars seal my veins.
Sift through the pieces in hellenistic severance.
Devotions design fosters rabid consequence.
A xerox of the years gone by.
And notes from centuries past.
Scrape the serum from my tongue, a crime, in the name of all.
Warm your hand on what runs from my veins,
my hands they1ve not moved a single inch today,
I've failed, I just move on.
3. The Divine Poison
Tear yourself from me,
I'll still be waiting here with sharp steel cuts covering my hands.
My blood once ran warm.
You burned me at the stake and left me dead upon the shores of broken dreams.
You burned me long ago, and there's nothing left but memories now.
That's when nerves go numb and spines turn into shards of glass.
Algorithmic death, diastolic murder comes with every choking laugh and every glares.
My intravenous death is all you left for me to bury with the broken picture frames.
You burned me long ago, and there1s nothing left but memories now.
That's when nerves go numb and spines turn into shards of glass.
Tear yourself from me,
I'll still be waiting here with sharp steel cuts covering my hands.
My blood once ran warm.
You burned me at the stake and left me dead upon the shores of broken dreams.
You burned me long ago, and there's nothing left but memories now.
That's when nerves go numb and spines turn into shards of glass
4. Seasons Of Suffocation
Slipping, tearing, these scars were never meant to heal.
Plunging back and forth,
I'd rather watched this all burn down.
Forged in flesh, read like a book on how to hate, and hate,.
We kill from the inside out in seasons of suffocation.
Calvary of consequence aligned by a sacred vow.
Live today and die for denial,
we kill from the inside out.
Our monospaced lives and algorithmic suffering leave us crawling onward
to a place where names and lives are lost.
These bodies left to hang in the stench of millions more.
forward we march into suffocation.
In seasons of suffocation,
we kill from the inside out.
5. The Frozen Divide
I've seen their frozen lives,
I know that I've been there before and something tells me that I'm still alive.
And those were the days the rains came,
they left me looking down from above,
as I watched it all die.
Some things never change, you came running,
screaming that you buried it for good.
Under gods of sullen suns you live in pain,
as keeper of this frozen divide of sanguine skies.
One by one at shoulders1 length we taste the pain.
I stand before one million souls in vein, and I am falling down.
Some things never change, you came running,
screaming that you buried it for good.
I've seen their frozen lives,
I know that I1ve been there before and something tells me that I'm still alive.
And those were the days the rains came,
they left me looking down from above,
as I watched it all die.
Some things never change,
you came running,
screaming that you buried it for good.
