When The day comes around
When my body lies in the ground
Will you gather up your fellow man?
Or will your words speak lower than the setting sun?
They speak in tongues I have never known
For its not acceptable to talk down from their thrown
So they step down and hide behind veils of deceit
As they stand next to the coffin looking down at their feet.
I'm burning away
The ghosts you left inside my head
The nights I would spend laying in my bed
Thinking if i'm so alone
Then God is dead
He would've heard by now
That i'm down here all on my own
But he hasn't picked up in days
Maybe he wants me to live this way
When the day comes by
After everyone's said goodbye
Will you carry on, forget what's lost and gone?
Or will guilt find a way to get inside of you?

Nameless

I can't see inside your mind
But I felt you've kept me nameless
All this time
My own affliction
And non indulgence
No wonder you've kept me nameless
All this time

Help me find what's blinding me
It's all for you, what's in it for me?
I'm a fool, what's left of me?
All torn up left in the deep
I bled for you, you bled for me
Light this bridge and let me be
The motto is to crash and burn
To live and learn
I'm staggering through the monochrome
I'll never learn
I bled for you
You bled for me
You called me home and I came running
You know I can't get away
The power of failing weighed heaviest that day
Can't come back from this
Eyes rolled back
Vision decayed
Is this how it ends?
Will I be saved?
City lights gleam as daylight dies
Remind me its painless when I shut my eyes
I reckon by noon there will be high tide
Washing away all that was alive
I bled for you
You bled for me
You called me home and I came running
You know I can't get away
All torn up left in the deep
Light this bridge and let me be

Flood
05:29
|

Our tongues are dams holding back
What we need to say
To keep the ones around
From hiding the truth
The pressure is building
The cracks are starting to leak
A flood is coming
A flood is coming today
A flood is coming
A flood is coming today
We stand like lighthouses on the shore
Shining on through the storm
To guide us all home
Left your veil of fear
Find your voice
Speak up and guide us home
With the words from our mouths
We wash away the town
Cast away bad men and watch them drown
The cracks are gone and the pressure released
This is how we must find peace
A flood is coming
A flood is coming today
A flood is coming
A flood is coming today
We stand like lighthouses on the shore
Shining on through the storm
To guide us all home
Left your veil of fear
Find your voice
Speak up and guide us home

It takes everything I have
To go through this again
The faces change but the story stays the same
I don't accept that there are things I can't change
I've gone off the deep end
Though I never learned to swim
There's no halo on my head
Cause God won't let me in
I'm a sinner, I'm a liar
I'm a man finding his way
There's no halo on my head
Cause God wants me to pay
Listen to the sounds of my unrest
For now I can't do anything
I've gone off the deep end
Though I never learned to swim
There's no halo on my head
Cause God won't let me in
I'm a sinner, I'm a liar
I'm a man finding his way
There's no halo on my head
Cause God wants me to pay

There's a storm front rolling in
And it's time to hunker down
Crack open a bottle of gin
And try to turn it around
But when does that ever fucking work?
I can't find stability
If i'm plagued by this disease
I can't find a solution
To a problem I can't see
Just let me be
The cold concrete feels like home to me
The warm glow of the streetlights keep me company at night
I lay down my head and hope to get some sleep
But I've lost the strength to breathe
I'm not coming home tonight
Now I'm walking the streets
With no life left inside
I found my vice
And it wants me to die
This isn't fun anymore
My body pinned to the floor
And i'm still begging for more
Just get me through the night
And I'l admit you were right
What'd you think?
I make all my promises with my fingers crossed
The cold concrete feels like home to me
The warm glow of the streetlights keep me company at night
I lay down my head and hope to get some sleep
But I've lost the strength to breathe
I'm not coming home tonight x2

In Sullen Defeat

You showed me a haunt
In the creak of the floorboards
Put out the candles (lost in light)
With a gust of vespers (reflecting minds eye)
A prowler among the tenements
Is the trapper in the stairwell
This house is purgatory
There's a poacher in my home
There's no breaking ties that bind us
Nearer my god
Now at the hour of our death

It comes in waves
But I haven't learned to swim
My signals always fall on deaf ears
If I went blind each frame would project in the dark
I just want to forget
Before I fall apart
So I keep searching
Maybe i'm just wasting time
No escape, inside
I tell myself i'll be alright
But I've been a liar all my life
I can't be saved
I'm paper thin
Just like the skin that adorns my bones
As I look in the mirror
I can't recognize what's looking back at me
I'm no savior, with these broken wings
I'm not braver, when i'm coming apart at the seams
Maybe I will die from the same disease
That brought my grandfather to his knees
Finally have my mind erased of everything, till I can't remember how to speak
Maybe it'll be the smoke that lines my lungs
Or the Liquor that I put in my blood
They'll find me passed out in the gutters
A shell of what I used to be
OF WHAT I USED TO BE
OF WHAT I USED TO BE
I'm paper thin
Just like the skin that adorns my bones
As I look in the mirror
I can't recognize what's looking back at me
I'm no savior, with these broken wings
I'm not braver, when i'm coming apart at the seams
Gather your candles to say goodbye
Light the lanterns it'll be alright
