Falter 01:52
Lips start moving Eyes start to fade How am I so fucking boring? Feels like pulling teeth just to talk about my day Numb tongue Awkward smile Mind blank Bumbling fuck Outside myself Between two fires Stumble through talk Nodding and laughing and hiding the fact that my character is thin When will this conversation end? Every effort tired Gave up I tried Cyclical, unrelenting Deteriorating mind Trite attempts mark weaknesses Will burning low The weight of contact, crushing me Pull the blinds, go back to sleep

Lapse 02:45
Amber lights drape wet concrete Rain down on me Words take hostage - bite into my spine In bursts it pours, it floods through my mind From this feeling, I won't find reprieve Skin crawling, hands shaking, I'm forgetting to breathe Desperation, take a hold of me Drag me down, shackled I can't find myself No one left here to find Anguish a deafening screech Mind is racing A slow bleed for each Time I've stayed up Red eyed, clenched teeth Remorse, pervade my being Guilt crafted Conscious, I'm numb Abating sympathy Mentality none Failing daily Bite down on my tongue Every breath, undeserving, I'm not worthy of one Single moment, shame flows steady Hold me still And rain down on me

Farrow 02:20
Private planes line runways, god's elite Cheques paid in order of golden dreams The waves ring static, broadcasted Soak the mind of devout masses Zealot bleed them out their pockets To line your grave Brain-dead hopeful Tithe TV apostles Broadway baby, prime time father, one time offer Ratings in Cashed in at the alter A yacht, an ark To float their wallet Pray to the almighty dollar Preying on the naive The working poor They need hope, but they wont find it But wait, there's more For just 10 dollars You can find your faith Just three easy payments Disciple of the airwaves Pulpit gleaming to the crowd Long-winded superstition deemed for pennies on the pound Faithful, pious, grifter Babble on, the gates await A place for pageant preachers with their head upon a stake Scapegoat, they'll cry New martyrs born, old men forlorn They enshrine their stubborn pride The bloody hand of Christ reaps hedge fund vice The poor their bottom line Zealot, bleed them out their pockets Bleed him out

Tabula Rasa 03:01
Dull moon preside Street lights carry through flakes Kingdom of gloom, the night as it blooms Embodied in bleakness, a bright orange hue Snow falls, it blankets, unconditional and true The night it is punishing, suffocating it looms Great walls made of glass stretch high through the veil Someday will return to the ground where it stares Constructed in madness; its biting, our heir Our legacy, a testament, to the a world that once burned Towers of ego, mistakes never learned A trace of an empire - sophisticated ape Two thumbs used to pillage, upright and astute Seas reside, return, strip the land down to roots. Monuments to failure Wars fought and lost To abate the inevitable, but at what cost? Crushing, violating Epoch of the damned Screams of the guilty Pleads for forgiveness The judgement severe Buildings, they topple, they crumble in fear A punishment, divine Absurdity, can't outrun time Flags lay dead Command landscapes, marred Skeleton of narcissism lifeless and scarred Deep lie the bodies, encased in hubris Nature, omnipotent, wipes the world of their ignorance Their tombs mark their sloth Suffer more Humanity but a scar, return to creation Mankind, pulled in with the tide rivers run brilliant and pure Mass graves filled brim with vanity, the dirt beneath indifferent No monument, no legacy Abuse, insolence A timely rapture Skies echo with silence A force struck out and cold

Wax 02:15
I lit a candle Out in the woods I watched it fade Until the sun came up I peeled the wax Off of my hand I read the notes Before they sank I took my spade Buried the candle I'll let the wolves Dig up it's bones The other night I swear I could hear it singing Warming the ground and turning the roots a greasy black Sap is flooding Treading through a swamp of rot I'm swimming in a lake full of the shit I shoveled in Open the drain Clear the gutter I lit a candle Out in the woods I watched it fade Until the sun came up I peeled the wax Off of my hand I read the notes Before they sank I took my spade Buried the candle I'll let the wolves Dig up it's bones

Austere 02:14
Tied tight around the wrist Words crafted, they insist Pray for light Last breath, you beg for forgiveness No solace you deserve it Pray for light, lord lead me out Deathbed, all over now, no guiding lights through voids Left alone, dying, cold, no shelter from his divine scorn Prayers went unanswered, he never listened Fate; strung by the hand of the lord Orphaned by his will, you never had control Faith; you failed Sins, you defiled your soul Drown yourself in sorrow You'll find no absolution Reach for a hand to pull you Further into submission

Last drops They flow Carving trails from nape to waist Tearing through to bone Face down I hold myself Indifferent but aware Light current strokes My body chokes Claw through sand Cough up air Water draws you in, you pray for peace All that fighting you'd never find release Bank your faith on empty thought, As it weighs heavy on your tongue Last light, flash, escape your sight Nothing left, it's gone
