Siphon from the weak
Our senses are redeemed
Drinking from the well
I consume at my will
Coursing through my vein
Paint myself in with your name
Well I have found
It's a long way
Back to a place
Where I can finally
Just take
My hands away
Take another step
Now condemned to repent
Drowning in the pain
Cauterize the living
As my hands are bound
Lead me deeper underground
Wait, I’m home
Will I die alone?
Becoming, alive
Coursing through my veins
Paint myself in with your name

Nothing I see makes any sense
Nothing I feel has any direction
As we spiral down
Juxtaposed the words now to our mouths
Do we try to breathe?
Let this tighten the hold it has inside of me
Send us through anyway
As we move from the highs we crave
Forgotten
The words I intended
The pressures unfolding
Through the lies and the endings
We left
Cleaning our wounds as were passing through
Moving past the ways we made the choices needed to
Can we try to breathe
Have us live inside the folds eternally
Send us through anyway
As we move from the lives we made
Forgotten
The words I intended
The pressures unfolding
Through the lies and the endings
We left
Liar (Killer)
Want and desire
Tired (Will they
Make it out alive
Taking (Wasting)
All that's upon me
Sinking (Further)
Into the depths
Will they make it out alive, will they make it out alive?

Intrusive Thoughts
07:06

Write a line
Scratch it out
Forget the thoughts that
You’ve figured out
Pretend it’s you
Mend the flame
Open the box which you’ve hidden away
Away
Closing doors and sighing deeply
The plans of the weak so dull and empty
But it feels so right, and it feels so tight
And we’re all alright
Buy hey, we’ve been taught this way
The face, of a godless shame
We tried, the old ways of our kind
The light returns
However bleak
Adapt and find you
With just what you need
Please
As all our seasons keep waltzing onward
My mind has blocked what it takes to inspire
As tensions mounting will break out tire-
Less eyes left wide in our daze
Okay, i'll find another way to say
It's safe, to throw away the lives you made
We wait, and hold the things we should have made
Wait up, wait up, wait up
Stay up, stay up, stay up
While I stare, the pages left in white
While I wear, the pages left in white

Empress

Left alone, become stone
Motionless, without tongue
In this image of men
Breathing whole our weakness
Turn your skin and watch me become alive
I’ll bring an end the ignorance
Covet the pride in weakness
Sickness derived from innocence
Turn back the tide of affluence
Still it bleeds and must be undone
Retreating
From the mouth and into our lungs
Instead
But inside, our hell
An eternity I kill
And mask the influence
The outside tries to burn into our head
The surface isn’t clean
It’s barren and it’s bursting at the seams
My will is broken and there’s
No way to get back into our home
Our home, our home, our home
Still it bleeds and must be undone
Retreating
From the mouth and into our lungs
Again
As I’m tearing out my eyes
And you’re peeling back your skin
Deny
Waking up a living hell
Nothing else to take you will
Its mine
Turn me into this abyss
Let me die you heretic
Inside

Built the world with my hands
Push the bone into my skin
These machines are my life
In a way they own mine
Through the years on my own
No distraction within my home
These machines are my life
With a hope that somehow
Life is more than
Etnterainment
Left to run itself out of breath
Standing on the outside looking in
A lifetime leading up to this
Blind and afraid
Running for days
I can hear them coming
There's nothing left for me here
Sinking deeper into my fears
As we widen the great divide
Between the ones that
May or may not just
Reflect ourselves
In the image of someone else
And we are what we hate in spite
Of what we happen to say
As the night turns to cold
I've lost count of the days im owed
These machines are my life
And the end is in sight
All the pieces in place
Now to draw your attention away
These machines are my life
And the hope that somehow
Life is more than
Entertainment
Left to run itself
Out of breath
I am tired of waiting in this life
Is it the first time, is it the first time
You set us off to live this way, this way, this way
Tired of trading myself
Is it the first time, is it the first time
You left alone the mess you made, you made, you made
Why have you left us, who do you think you are?
I've done all that I can and more
Tell me who do you think you are
Before they take me, what do you think you are
I've done all that you’ve asked and more
Tell me what do you think you are, tell me what do you think you are?

Floating through Saturn’s ring
I am now the last of all our kind
Soul of the stars a long long way
From home I am now here to stay
As we drift forever
I am the only one here
Who called to me through the air?
And vibration everywhere
I just want to breathe new life
Into what we left behind
And as the closest stars align
The rest of us are lost tonight
Moving past the falling sky
The way it haunts my mind
The air is thin and grasp is weak
Thinner the veil of reality
As we live forever
I just want to breathe new life
Into what we left behind
And as the closest stars align
The rest of us are lost tonight
I just want to breathe new life
Into what we left behind
And as the closest stars align
The rest of us are lost tonight
The rest of us are lost tonight
And everyone’s been left behind
And no one’s here to hope

The White Light

I can see a light up ahead
I can see a light up ahead
I can draw a line in the sand
I can draw a line with my hand, hand
I wait, no regret,
Pushing on, feel the warmth against my palm
Mists displace, as my arms
Holding still
I can't wait to show you
The earth moved on without
I guess we'll blame it on the long way again
Breaking ground against the long way again
I wait, take a breath
Pressing on, taste the ashes on my tongue
No mistake, I am calm
Holding still completely gone
Cutting through
As I wait, anticipate every move that you make
I guess we’ll blame it on the long way again
Breaking ground against the long way again
As I wait, no regret
Pushing on, feel the warmth against my palm
No mistake, I am calm
Holding still, completely gone
Make your move, cutting through
You, Through
You, Through
You,
Lay your hands down, hold me aground
With a lone intent I, with a lone intent I lay down
Lay your hands down, hold me aground
With a lone intent I, with a lone intent I make my
Make my way by candlelight, watch the stars become so bright
As the walls began to rise, I am alive
Lay your hands down, hold me aground
With a lone intent I, with a lone intent I lay down
Lay your hands down, hold me aground
With a lone intent I, with a lone intent I make my
Make my way by candlelight, watch the stars become so bright
As the walls began to rise, I’m alive

Same, Again
06:48

Patterns all the same
Passed to who remain
All we have is time
No escape is made
Back from where you came
Rows of all who left behind this place
Carved upon our names
The memories we laid
A part of you must stay
Left to bury deep
The home in which we keep
Shapes the course of who we have to be
We wait for things we hope will heal
Last night, I killed my friends
Cut off their heads
Tore off, all of their limbs
Looked down, upon my hands
And laughed aloud at what I did
Within the sun, and further on
The lives we left along the way
This time, i've left myself
Somewhere that's right between the warmth
I will take all of you under
In time i'll ask myself
If it was worth it all along
I will not give into the hunger
Desires that you keep
Changes which you seek
Running out of time
Finally i'll sleep
Two of us will meet
And see yourself as who you have to be
We wait for things we hope will heal
Last night, I killed my friends
Cut off their heads
Tore off, all of their limbs
Looked down, upon my hands
And laughed aloud at what I did
