The Ashes of Your Worth
04:30
|

On that day, we both became
Setting off to tempt the fates
Now I’m raging like a hurricane, so look me in the eye
Now you know it’s me right here
Sing a song for all the dreams that you’ve stamped out
In your wake the torn eyes ponder
How can you be so removed from all the earth?
But now you’re coming down
Now you see me in the ashes of your worth
Here it is, reality bites back
There was a time when you were light
Fading lines blur wrong and right
How can you be so removed from all the earth?
But now you’re coming down
Now you see me in the ashes of your worth
Here it is, reality bites back
I think you’ve passed the point where you could turn this all around
I know you’d hoped to stay lost, but you’re found
How can you be so removed from all the earth?
But now you’re coming down
Now you see me in the ashes of your worth
Here it is, reality bites back

Guilt Tripper
04:12

All’s well, they can tell by the way you wear that face
New things, bright smile, it’s everything they want
No cares, laissez faire, when you let them in your space
They see life thrills, luck skills, and that is all
How they must bow before your name
You think they want to be the same
Oh yea, but if they only knew
How sad it truly is to be you
You won’t go fooling me
I know what’s underneath
I don’t need eyes to see
How you feed upon the need
Hold sway every day, you’ve got it all figured out
Hope springs, gold pile, it’s everything they want
High end, fashion trend, when they check what you’re all about
They see no stains, social gains, and that is all
You won’t go fooling me
I know what’s underneath
I don’t need eyes to see
How you feed upon the need
Turn around, let your eyes adjust
You’ve been in the shadows too long
Turn it down, stop adding to the noise
If you listen you can hear my voice
Too easy to shift the blame
We’re all disciples of the fame
What is it though that really gets you off
About making me feel I’m not enough
You won’t go fooling me
I know what’s underneath
I don’t need eyes to see
How you feed upon the need

Carnival of Youth
04:00
|
|||
|
I've built a wall around myself on shallow ground
I blocked the light out, and I found
My castle sinking down
I've drained an ocean just to find the sand below
In search of something
That I came to find was hollow
Show me your eyes
Shed this disguise
Force me out
Drown me in doubt
We stay alone
Through the unknown
Searching for truth
In the carnival of youth
Desire burns to feed the animal within
It's feast or famine
Only taking what you're given
Break the cycle and you'll only feel the void grow
Turning, yearning
Trying, dying to know
Resent is
Relentless
Counting the nights...
Descending
And bending
Wilting inside...
It built, and built, and built, and built...
A hammer to the brain
A chisel in the gut
Liquid filling lungs
This door fucking shuts
Eyes blacken from within
Mouth seals itself away
...with nothing left to say
I've spilled the blood and spread it round upon the floor
Don't mind the vultures
They'll be back for more
Paint me a picture of how you see our lives end
Who stands beside you?
Do you look forgiven?

The Answer
04:14
|
|||
|
I believe you and me are the end
The end of all that needs to be
You now are the only thing that gets around me
Sees right through the permeate the shadows that I cast
And when you’re by me I never need to worry
I feel the strength I need to face the world and face myself
Now you know the answer that I seek
You’re the only one for me
When the world scatters to the wind
We’ll be there hand in hand
We have seen stars and seas
Overcoming every single thing
You now are the only thing that gets around me
Sees right through to permeate the shadows that I cast
And when you’re by me I never need to worry
I feel the strength I need to face the world and face myself
And now the only the only thing we need to do tonight
Is plot the ways we’ll take over the world
And point our arrows towards the horizon
Pave the path of dreams and together we’ll get there yet

Crisis of Hope
04:09
|
|||
|
Flittering, fluttering, missing all connections
Always looking down, passing all corrections
There are moments of tragedy that briefly patch us up
We don’t like the blood but we all like to cut
On to the next one then on to the next one after
Outrageous outrage, hell is snowballing faster and faster
Unity is a sense which is ever fleeting
A slight reprieve and then continue the bleeding
There are moments of tragedy that briefly patch us up
We don’t like the blood but we all like to cut
Will we all be ok? Will good win out in the end?
Imaginary foes outweigh actual friends
It’s easy to give in to the crippling fear
No giving up, I’m still here
Unity is a sense which is ever fleeting
A slight reprieve and then continue the bleeding
There are moments of tragedy that briefly patch us up
We don’t like the blood but we all like to cut
It’s not too late

Thrown to the Wolves
04:10
|
|||
|
Face the woods alone
Fears like trees have grown
Night will set me free
And haunt my melodies
Cast from the walls, oh how I fall so far
And clip the angel’s wings that rise before me
Eyes of blackest coal
Hunger takes its toll
Fire whipping high
And now to pay the price. Thrown to the wolves.
Cast from the walls, oh how I fall so far
And clip the angel’s wings that rise before me
Beaten back
Next attack
The saw’s at the bone
Here they come, home
I want to let them in
I want to give myself to the coming storm
But I won’t let them swallow me whole into an oblivion of rage
I’ll stand and fight to belong
Join the pack
Last attack
Come see the night
By my side
Cast from the walls, oh how we fall so far
And clip the angel’s wings that rise before us all
Now heed the call, and prowl amongst the stars
Bask in the light of the moon and howl with all your might

Stripped Away
04:09
|

Tell me once again every way you sin
Ask me one more time for the answers you know
But will never change
Any time you want, I am here to bend
All you have to do is say..
I can’t be everything to me
I can’t be, I won’t be
I won’t be anything to you
And when you tell me what you think
I should see, why don’t we?
There’s nothing left except the truth
Tell me once again every way you sin
Ask me one more time for the answers you know
But will never change
Let’s try this again, once departed friend
Do you even know my name?
I can’t be everything to me
I can’t be, I won’t be
I won’t be anything to you
And when you tell me what you think
I should see, why can’t we?
There’s nothing left except the truth
Everything we know based on what’s been shown
Everything we think that we’re standing upon
Has been stripped away
And now it comes the time when you and I must reconcile ourselves
There’s nothing left to give, no scraps to leave behind for someone else
And now we have it all
There’s nowhere left to hide, no more lines to be drawn in the sand
When you are all alone will you even know where you stand?
Tell me once again every way you sin
Ask me one more time for the answers you know
But will never change
Everything we know based on what’s been shown
Everything we think that we’re standing upon
Has been stripped away

Balancing Act
04:46
|
|||
|
The dichotomy, pulling me, can I coexist?
Hell-bent, heaven-sent, shrouded in the midst
Who will win? Who will lose? Which side of my head?
Righteous sin, time to choose, hope I hold my stead
Save the world or help myself
There are many different kinds of wealth
Plenty to love and plenty to hate
Every choice further seals my fate
Then the room begins to spin
I try to not fall down
From the outside looking in I must seem insane
But I swear I’m trying
Can’t always tell what’s wrong from right
I guess that’s just part of the fight
The need to work, the need to play
That second need always gets outweighed
All the things a full life needs, maddening effect
Impossible to do it all, inevitable neglect
Stolen time, the stress of choice, dire results if stalled
Pay all mind, use the voice, or watch as it all falls
Then the room begins to spin
I try to not fall down
From the outside looking in I must seem insane
But I swear I’m trying
Feel my world tumbling round
But I can’t make a sound
I’d like for everything to pause for just a second
So that I can catch my breath
But take it all
Every day they seem to run past faster
Try to stoke my love and satisfy my master
Til the end, whatever that’s worth
Take me home, center my earth
All the days start the same, it’s how they end that counts
Did I achieve? Did I fail? Who is scoring the rounds?
Stay upright, walk the path, seeking out the facts
After all this whole thing is just a balancing act

The Jagged Edge
04:28
|
|||
|
Losing my head along the jagged edge
Come have a seat here next to me
Toss my pennies in the well, wish for relief
An unintended friend, I invited you in
To see what we could find on the outskirts of my mind
What did you find between the lines?
Buried in the wrinkles, lost in time
Must have been real, ‘cause now I feel
Like one more step and I’ll begin to spill
Scenes and pictures floating by from side to side
Can’t seem to nail them down, I’ve lost all solid ground
Plug me now, I’m pouring out
Losing my head along the jagged edge
Tongue screaming on the winds
Eyes weeping on the sands
Ears bleeding on the pins
Please tell me where I am
I have never felt so lost
You’re the one who fucking brought me here
So this then is the edge
No more will I come near
Walk me back to where we’ve been
Step by step throughout my day
If I slip begin again
Please help me find my way
Plug me now, I’m pouring out
Losing my head along the jagged edge
Plug me now, I’m pouring out
Losing my head along the jagged edge

Thrashgasm
03:32

You will never see, there will never be a name
To cast upon its purest form
You will never know, it will never show its face
Until you give yourself to the swarm
It will never cease striking down it enemies
Laying waste to all of those who dare oppose its strength
You will always hear voices trembling with fear, forever
Ride the night, with fire blazing in the sky
Mountains crumble and give way beneath the horde
Do or die, there is not a reason why
Blackened wings offer deliverance
All destruction brings opportunities to scream
And bare your heart to all the world
Tortured masses sing save us from the horror scene
The plastic mainstream has unfurled
Give us death on high, shred our ears and tear our eyes
Unleash our beasts so that we may finally terrorize
Once you feel its bite you’ll always shun the light, forever
Ride the night, with fire blazing in the sky
Mountains crumble and give way beneath the horde
Do or die, there is not a reason why
Blackened wings offer deliverance to me
Breathe it in, transformation begin
Take the hit, be reborn in the pit
Light the pyre, rage burns brighter
Light the pyre, rage burns brighter
It will show you the way
Ride the night, with fire blazing in the sky
Mountains crumble and give way beneath the horde
Do or die, there is not a reason why
Blackened wings offer deliverance

Here Lies Truth
05:55
|
|||
|
In the end the only thing that ever really truly binds us is the truth
In an age where common phrases flip the page, unlocking cages of bullshit “proof”
We must be ever mindful now
Of the whos, the whats, wheres, the whens, the hows
Reporting rumors, growing tumors, breed consumers, fan the fumers, light the fuse
Headlines end in marks of question, that is not the punctuation of the news
It’s not the way it’s supposed to be
You can’t believe a thing you read
I just want to know what’s real
There’s got to be an end to these
Lies and these hypocrisies
But really, what’s the fucking deal of it all
We must be ever mindful now
Of the whos, the whats, wheres, the whens, the hows
Because here, here lies truth
We get what we deserve, me and you
For all the reasons that I conjured to excuse the mind’s decay
For all the times I could have acted but instead I turned away
For all the days that pass without a proper steering towards the sun
I want to say that I still am one
Who wants to believe that the day will come
That we can learn to conquer all the anger, all the harm we’ve done
But if we’re ever to get to that place
We must agree on what is real and fake
Can we reconcile with reality? Let’s see…
We must be ever mindful now
Of the whos, the whats, wheres, the whens, the hows
Because here, here lies truth
We get what we deserve, me and you
