Grueling denial
Your status is forced entry
Dishonest impositions
Hidden in your words
Foolish compliance
We are dressed like ghosts
You ask we come in close
Searching
Her eyes for an exit
But by now we have learned
To nod as we rehearsed
And I'm watching
I'm watching your hands
Trust is not a given
Nothing that you've earned
Blasphemer
As unclean as your smile
We prepare the host
Loved ones feed us to the wolves
In silence, in silence
Sip of wine for the children
Snuff the candles with our robes
In silence, in silence
Incensed
We become incensed
In silence
Good is to be seen
And never to be heard
In silence
The silence ensures
You won't get what you deserve

Down
01:36

Tell me what you're running from
A kid with a loaded gun
Who couldn't wait to find someone
Who couldn't wait to take that last fall down
They're trying to get safe
You couldn't see that place
Fuck
You couldn't get away
You got down
We spite a tragedy
Which is only to say
We'll keep it this way
It's meant to go down
Stuck
In this place
While you ignore
We count our days down
Stuck
Can't unsee that face
Can't unhear that sound
Nowhere's safe now
Waiting for shit to go down

Repeating
02:55

Notice lines are repeating
As I redeem myself
Ghosts of promise and meaning
Staccato raindrops drill
All this time spent believing
That I couldn't be helped
I say that as it's written in mud
In the shape of a heart inside of my lungs
I can't see myself giving it up
One look in your eyes
I swear it's never enough
One glimpse at a time
I started leaving
That isolated world
And I'm relieving
All that has gone wrong
I carry with me
Brace for the impact
Hide on the ceiling
Alone is something that finds you out

Drifting
Not a sight to see
Isolated by my own hands
Patterns become disorienting
We don't need all this space
For grains of sand
Hollow
Just like an effigy
Hollow
End up
short of remembering
Find out
You see what you want to see
Find out
The lie you were imagining
Dead dreams
There is nothing inside myself
I breathe it out
Nothing inside at all
Hold my head until the reeling stops
I am the devil I know
There's something I can't get out
There's nothing inside myself

8th Continent
01:30
|

|
This song is dedicated
To the plastic continent
Floating in the Pacific Ocean
Waging war on ourselves
Choking on all the shit
That we threw out
Geniuses of dying
We've made it easier to drown
I didn't eat it
It was put into me
If you can't see it
Does it mean anything?

Between the Ashes
02:55
|

|
Something you say you meant
Without a hint of regret
Something I should have said
Made no use guarding it
Out loud
A haunting sound
Disappearing now
Something I couldn't give
You could still be on your own
Splitting inside my head
Waiting for the fall
Cold
Sneaks around your neck
And it swallows you
Uneven ground
Worn-out tread
In a way, there was nothing left to lose
Ask your name
About a thousand times
I seen you all around here
But you're so consumed
With what you think you know
That it followed you all the way home
Please take my hand
Just say when
I won't be sleeping
Until the night ends
And I could exist
Maybe I did
Between the ashes
Singing, "I believe in life again"
