False Dawn
03:53
|
|||
|
The seething in your eyes
Love bends in necessary ways
Pretend my life could never
End so soon
Open season in disguise
Life ends in necessary ways
Pretend there’s something left
Inside to lose
Flaccid pose
Instinct severed from guilt
Crude fears kept alive
To insult the purity of light
Flaccid pose
Porcelain bed
Instinct survives
To rape the sanctity of life

Stalking Revelations
02:13
|
|||
|
I crawl into your arms
My suffering, your vision
Of futures dead
Love growing colder
Skin softening the edge
When faith moves on
I watch the sun return
And there’s nothing at all
|

Until Stillborn
03:22
|
|||
|
I know you’re begging
Day and night
What you crave won’t
Come easy
When I die you lick
The blood up from the floor
When I pray your severed
Head will bring me love
I know you’ll give in
Every time
Living free won’t
Come easy
When you die I trust
The blade will please you
More
In the end we’re
just the same
In your heart I feel
A new sensation
The taste of agony
Unparalleled
In your mouth I hear
The maggots swarming
In your mind our trust
Will mend again

Throat Of The Multiverse
04:11
|
|||
|
A servant of your vacancy
A love bound by sullen majesty
We listen for a light
That never breathes
Air grows thinner when
You want to believe
I loved you when time stood still
When my breath could warm your skin
Procession recovers the day at hand
A barren light that seals us in
A vow of silence
Nothing tears me from
Your womb
Writhing slowly
Something crawling from
Your soul
A vow of silence
Holy echoes interred
|

No Last Words
04:15
|
|||
|
The silence of decades
The sirens of youth interred
The dark is a little clearer
The pain is a little sweet
The science of something more
When I believe these things
could change
My smile was ripe and clean
And the pain is a little sweet
No reason or feeling
when I believe
No reason or feeling
when your presence is near
The curse of second chances
The gift of certain death
No vision or mercy
when the devil is near
No reason or feeling
when I believe
No reason or feeling
when your presence is near
In violence there’s something more
And the highway’s free
No reason or feeling
when you die for me

Solvency
04:28
|
|||
|
Hold me under
Overflow
Trading life for nothing
But the permanence of
What once was
Precious gift
Of sudden reckoning
I can torture endlessly
Despite your love
Misery comes so easily
Shroud of nails
We are blessed
Instinct to kill
Without consequence
Rising further
Overflow
Precious gift of solemn love
Despite your pain
Death comes so easily

Daydreams Leer
03:24

I will haunt you in
Your dreams
Innocence is never found
Rotting only in your soul
I will curse you endlessly
Twisting life beyond
Your senses
Innocence is never found
I will tear your skin
From bone
Carving life into obsession
Oozing from between
Your legs
Dying only in your dreams
I will revel in your screams
Twisting pain into
Possession
Always dying in your soul
I will bind you endlessly
Carving death into
Your senses
Innocence is never found
Rotting only in your dreams

Feeding necessary pain
Something like futility
Your loneliness
Was all I needed
Withering resolve
Something burning
In your name
Your radiance is all I feel
I will save you
I will take you down
Debilitating subtlety
The way silence screams
Your faith in nothing
Is what I believe in
Feeding necessary pain
The glory of your tears
Manifest this bleeding end
I will save you
I will take you down
I could love you
But I’d rather let you die
Now you know
With a bullet between
The eyes
You’ll know my name
Like the dying
in your eyes
Something like futility
This holy light
You tell yourself
It’s all you needed
Withering resolve
Something burning
In your heart
Your radiance is all I feel
I will save you
I will take you down
I could love you
But I’d rather let you die
Now you know
With a bullet between
The eyes
You’ll know my name
Like the dying
In your eyes

All I wanted
Digging forward on
Cutting deeper in
It means nothing
To cry for someone
To die for something
Suffocation sings
On fallen years (in vain)
We seek to heal
Crawling deeper in
Life means nothing
To kill for someone
To die for something
Blood bathes the deserts
Of the sun
I wear the skin
Of handsome wounds
Night flames incur the death
Of love
If only life was over

I feel your plague
Patience--
Disintegration--
So close to you
I feel your love
The hunger to die
Inside—
So close to you
I feel your love
You feed the loneliness inside
I feel the end
Cold severance
Emptiness—
So close to you
World come inside
I’ll show you pain
Angel of shadows
So close to you
I feel your love
You feed the dying things inside

The Urge
03:48
|
|||
|
The beating of your heart
Is not enough to save me
The rhythm of endless days
Choking on the smallest hour
I’m not the only one
Who feared the time
Would come
The day is gone
Eternal silence
The day we died
You were never strong
Enough to heal
Reliving senseless ways
To snuff the urge to feel
I’m not the only one
To zero in on the kill
The rhythm of endless days
Choking on the smallest hour
Save your mercy
I’m the one whose time
Has come
The day is gone
Eternal silence
The day we died
You were never strong
Enough to heal
I’m not the only one
To zero in on the kill
I’m not the only one
We’re choking on the urge

Two White Goodnights
03:51
|

|
I see you inside
The river never
Knows your name
Your eyes
Like summer’s end
Will never stay the same
And you’ll never be alone
This curse will never
Be undone
What are you afraid of
This time
What do you feel in
This descent
Falling further from
Your name
Stepping closer
Just to die in vain
Falling further from
Your love
Stepping closer
Just to die in vain
