Wake up
It’s Another
bait and switch
sold our souls
For the meaningless
It’s a swindle
Cash for kiss
Purchased cold
For the ravenous
I’ve been under
holding all the
time you took from me
When you called my name
I’d always run to you
Needed to refill
A growing hole
Knew It was poison
You gave me what i asked for
And all the torment
We built our own
find peace eluding,
The siren sings
Wake up
It’s Another
bait and switch
We sold our souls
For the meaningless
It’s a swindle
Cash for kiss
Purchased cold
For the ravenous
I break down
Forget my name
For once
None left to blame.
In solace
I regress
Into that place
Alone
A cut above
A proof high enough
Thin my blood
Erupt
A monster
Inside of my gut
Says
Keep singing
Somethings close
Says
Keep singing
Something (you’re)
Closer
Old soul
Trapped in dark place
She spoke
distract me with something.
Old soul
With dreams of the empty
Imagine me something

What it is to Lose
03:27
|

Those days are calling
I know you’re mine
Post haste withdrawing
tied tongues told to blur al the lines
But my doubt remains
where I left it
In all the hardest times If I
knew I’d meet you
Then the all sad songs I sang
wouldn’t have a use
But they do
Stowaway
Not what I intended
Grow estranged
Thoughts rewind
Amended
In all the hardest times If I
knew I’d meet you
Then the all sad songs I sang
wouldn’t have a use
But they do
To be shown,
apologize
Stutter on the words utter out the phrase I’ve been all alone I’ve been lost for days
To be shown
To apologize
Clutter on the floor shutters disarray when I was in the fold I felt out of place
To be shown
And apologize
To Anyone who cares
For the real thing

The Taste of Copper
04:13
|

Trying to stay awake
Don’t want to say a thing right now
Don’t wanna stay in place
I gotta take another route
if there is another way
Can’t let the perfect family down
How did i misplace
Everything that I was Til now?
Swallow with distaste
Hoping the scales will balance out
Follow a mistake
Take all your debts into the ground
Hallowed his name
He who could never cast you out
Crawl to the same place
As if there was a doubt
Lost my head
I find myself hiding
From everything
Estranged from my own friends
And I’m the one
To tear it down with a smile
Despite what I’m holding
I’ll be fine
buried under this high
In spite of my problems
The golden child
In their eyes
Lit the last bit of wick
I’m still here burnt down at both ends
Gave everything That’s Left
For an an echo of something
And I’m the one
To tear it down with a smile
Despite what I’m holding
I’ll be fine
buried under this high
In spite of my problem
The golden child
In their eyes
Denying til it hurts
Defiance never heard
Drown in criticisms offered
Keep quiet til i burst
Drink silence when I thirst
Choking on the taste of copper
Honestly
I’d never speak
The words
Even when you’re set on leaving
Absentee
But the chemistry
Is preserved
Even with my demons clinging
You were the salt of the earth

Alternate Ending
04:15
|

Dead in
(Impulse comprised)
The eyes
Hollow
(Uphold your ties)
Is it infinite ?
What’s been
(Until you decide)
revised?
Absent.
(You’ll wonder why)
Am I here again?
We author another
Novella
It’s fabricated
In fact and fiction
The origins ultraviolet
But you're still right here
shoring up my Doubt
All we’ve been given
Defines what we’re missing
No doubt once I followed
Your steps
I got led astray
Wake up
Feel everything you never wanted
The substance has just delayed a coming moment
To take more
assume you’re numb
Escaped as always
The fall is coming
It’s Written on your face
to alter the pace
We develop
We graduated
To harder substance
The opulent ultraviolence
Still leaves me short changed
And wired shut my mouth
All we’ve been given
Defines what we’re missing
No doubt once I followed
Your steps
I got led astray
Wake up
Feel everything you never wanted
The substance has just delayed a coming moment
To take more
assume you’re numb
Escaped as always
The fall is coming
It’s written on your face
In ink and lead
How to forget
Will moments play unknown to me ?
The clock it screams familiar things
And I’m content to sleep
But are you flesh and bone like me?
are you flesh and bone like me?
I thought I’d give up everything
Thought I’d give up everything
It’s not what i wanted it’s just what I needed to see

Second Love
03:37
|
|||
Can I say enough how
To Move?
To choose?
To prepare for Romantic war?
Breathe
Free
Take root
Imbue
All to share for
Some untold soul
Breathe
Free
I severed all those ties
so I was surprised
your face lingered on
remembering times behind
I swore I’d never fall against
that first kiss was lights out
Oh oh oh
I wanted more and more and more
It gets better with all the days
when you found out why
I’d be better off
with you alone
inside my mind
and I say “ I know,
there’s been parts of me
too hard to swallow”
I’ll wait for you
Slow down for now
Enough to bring you home
Slow down for now
Don’t want to feel alone
Slow down for now
Enough to bring you home
Slow down for now
Don’t want to feel alone

Aperture
03:39

I feel the cold
As a voice is lost for all time
But nothing is permanent
Outside
displaced
Removed
Or Remade
Nothing stands in its way
I wont receive the oxygen
That I need
But There’s a light i can see
Opened a hole
In the sky to the astral
and I’m pushing on to a gate
So Unafraid
so calm
until...
I remember the words of my mother
But they’ve gone to waste
They’ve gone to waste
Tied together
Unearthed by summer
I tried to wait
But time buries all of us
Am I supposed to be estranged from
My own?
I was afraid , what’s left of my days
Juxtaposed to be estranged from my home
Stutter words too prolonged, but my heart beat goes on and on
Extract blood from a stone
Where is a safe place ?
My soul has left from its host
Extract me from my home
How do I keep pace ?
I know it happens over and over again
I wont receive the oxygen
That I need
But There’s a light i can see
Opened a hole
In the sky to the astral
and I’m pushing on to a gate
So Unafraid
so calm
until...
I remember the words of my mother
But they’ve gone to waste
They’ve gone to waste
Tied together
Unearthed by summer
I tried to wait
But time buries all of us
We stumble forward to the point
It won’t stop

Old Places
04:30
|
|||
Old places felt alive
I can’t see anyone else here
Old brothers,
lost in time,
I hear them echoing out like
Oh
I can hear it calling
Voiceless in my head
Nostalgia flood
wiping the sleep
Why do I hold
To secrets I keep ?
When I know
I was right there
“ I’ve been here before “
One echoed thought
In every corridor
A monologue
That’s not my inner voice
bodies Crack like they’re eggs
To spill out living force
Do they move on
or stay sequestered ?
I still hear it calling
Voiceless in my head
Nostalgia flood
wiping the sleep
Why do I hold
To secrets I keep ?
When i know
I was right there
And nobody knows what
Awaits
After life
Nothing
Close your eyes
And something insides growing
Hungry
All the time
Can’t wait
Til we
Take the ride
There is someone living in this house
Someone I don’t see or know about
Over ceilings under floors
How windows closed can open doors
To be cast out
Or consecrate
if judgement ever comes
If god kept its promises they’d all be gone
I can feel it calling
Voiceless in my head
before my eyes
Am I’m fast asleep ?
The loneliest day
Lost in a dream
Or a nightmare

The Shepherd
03:24
|
|||
Monotone counting of the rosary beads
have I done enough to make my soul clean?
the silence resounding as an echoed retreat
you reach for a hand as ground gives underneath
Over and over the cycle returns
A plagiarist plight
With my fathers words
Still held at a distance
Tight grip to the hurt
What comes of a savior who’s flock grew perverse ?
As my doubt ensued
Got caught looking up too long and hurt my eyes
Then a cloud crawled through
Showing everything’s a pain till it subsides
Something waits
Memories
Hiding under
consciousness
Like a snake
always charming
here to stay
Tempting the sinful
And the flesh
There’s Blood on the asphalt tonight
The warrior’s meter and rhyme
Open up your eyes
Discovering too late
There’s only The quickest sand
Under your feet
Toeing the fault line
It starts up again
Showing the wrong signs
The cause of my sins
Tortured by old lines
(It flies in the face of this)
The telling of past lives
(expected of someone)
Good book with a bad spine
(You’re choice is disgracing it)
The blind leading the blind
(eternal conundrum)
Open up your eyes
Discovering too late
There’s only The quickest sand
Under your feet
Every time
Every time
Make me forget
What do we find
What do we find
Words like “forgive”
A note on the wall said dimensions
Would leave us divided
A reckoning’s coming but who knows who ends up the righteous
If lottery wheels author history, then who does the writing?
Nothing will change
Same song and dance
Til the times up

Abuse Apologist
03:33
|
|||
Tie up a rope
For the witness
Cast out
hell have what he’s due
They’ll come
Cry out for the “innocent”
Then say
they’ll pray for you
Safe
Led on my own
Without a drop of discontent
Switching roles
Abuse; apologist
Who knows who will find you
(Reaching)
When you’ve given up
(For the lock)
Circumvent the struggle
(Tie em)
Salvage the corrupt
(Tie em up)
Paid up in blood
But the interest
Coughed up
in shock that ensues
They won’t look back
At the indigent
Carry it all with you
They can bind you up turn you to the Hopeless
they will wind you up deny you were gaslit
They combined you up turned you to the Hopeless
they will wind you up deny you were gaslit
Trade my plans,
for a Vacant hand,
protocol
Pull away,
we fall in place
Make my ends,
justify
Means instead
Tried not to lose my head,
but I’m Drowning in the shallow end
What’s left of the warning?
Attrition compelled
Contempt for the morning,
Sedition is quelled,
for good.
All color drains out
Leave only black and white there
Impermanent sounds
How do you carry ?
Take control of my own
Make this house to a home
Intentions alone
I separate the want for something I could never have
And grow
Erase the thought of my self loathing
Let go
Trade my plans,
for a Vacant hand,
protocol
Pull away,
we fall in place
Make my ends,
justify
Means instead
Tried not to lose my head,
but I’m Drowning in the shallow end

Unkept
05:27
|

Will it come tonight ?
A secret unkept.
what’s growing inside
Well I’ve been avoiding it
(But I know)
Take it as you want
Out of context
if this is too much
Then you missed the point of it
(It’s simple)
What we want
is always changing
And we’ve got to follow
So we hunt
who knows if anybody gets
Tomorrow
And these husks are always aging
Every day more hollow
Can I push all of
This aching down inside
a bottle?
whether it’s right or not
Back into the light
Awake cold and wet
From anesthetized
To powder keg coffee shakes
(Plateaued)
Hasten through the day
The Heart owns the head
From giving a fuck
To dreaming my cares away
(Implode)
What we want
is always changing
And we’ve got to follow
So we hunt
who knows if anybody gets
Tomorrow is
And these husks are always aging
Every day more hollow
Can I push all of
This aching down inside
a bottle?
Whether it’s fair or not
You never bargained for this life
Have we been growing apart?
Apart.
For a long time
Drunk from a punch
Like a fistfight
Has it been growing too hard?
Too hard
It’s the wrong time
Sweetness have you Strayed?
I see it Only now
that we’ve been diverging
That we’ve been..
Too late,
Too soon,
Too much of something good,
Did we miss our moment
Did we miss ours ?
