Forsaken 05:21
Be no sheep, hiding in your own skin. I can tell a stranger dwells within. These walls grow numb for a moments bliss, false truths that only you will miss. While you waste away, I won't waste away. I am the Shepard leading your lost way. I am the Charon who's debt you must pay. Black and blue I see right through your weightless words. Use me now, take your bow, cast me with lepers. When you wake in your cold damp sweat, writhing in all of your regret I know you'll turn for comforting, to your poison bedside remedy. While you waste away, I won't waste. I am the Shepard leading your lost way. I am the Charon who's debt you must pay, black and blue I see right through your weightless words. Use me now, take your bow, cast me with lepers. I am an imposter, she is all I can offer. You lay claim to rule it all, but I will rise and you will fall.

Abandon 04:08
You want to come back but we say that there's no hope. You want to come back but we must replace the rope. We all say it's the devil at your door. Only time will tell how long you can ignore. Why am I so blind to see you're everything I've been dying to forget. Why am I the one to blame you're the hunter I'm the prey. You keep holding on. I know the reason behind your fears. I know the reason behind those tears. Your pretty blond hair, I hope you stay there and never return. Thank you god and thank you brother, my lesson is learned. Why am I so blind to see you're everything I've been dying to forget. Why am I the one to blame your the hunter I'm the prey. You keep holding on. Quit your faking. You said, "Hold me in closer while I pretend that I want no other". Now I'll fall asleep again alone.

Ugly 04:27
We all act upon request, waiting for our time to impress you with our colorful display. I knew that it would fall through anyway. I'll try to look past this mess you've made under your breath, speaking so only few can hear. This won't help you conquer me my dear. You said, "I will never let you fail". I lack the truth, god covered my eyes said I'd forget you. Look at how far we all have come. Emotions have all surrendered numb. This weight has never felt so light. Once again I'll sleep alone tonight. Your face is always on display. I'll brave through another day unfulfilled and broken, this sin we lay soaking in. You said, "I'm so devoted to you". I believe in the burning of these temples and the spotting of these hands. You said "I've never felt better than you". I breed in vain, my vices will put yours to shame. What's one more night? What's one more ceiling? you've seen a thousand. Your words are bleeding. Aching and thirsting with unrest, waiting for your next chance to undress. You turned out like the rest.

Grace 05:01
So we bowed our heads and we took the bread. Misguided souls soon to be fed. I lay awake every night in my bed. Please god help me all I need is rest. Yeah I promise I'm trying my very best. Even though I'm young I still feel old. Like a book that's written, a story told. I am responsible for your pain, yes I am the disappointing summer rain. Yes I am the crossing train, yes I am the one you need to entertain. So we took the time and we took it back. All deaf from hearing my voice crack. We shouted out to the heaven above, " Have I lost your love". Then I saw your face above the clouds. My yearning heart began to pound. My fist firmed tightly with rage, and there was no peace for seven whole days. I still taste you on my tongue. I miss chasing love while I was young. I miss standing in my place, and now I fall from your grace.

All I Have 05:13
The stench is rancid on my lips They're stained from you Can't come clean like they used to The light is closing in Can't stand the person that I've been It's blinding me I still can't breathe when you're around me (or) see when you're around me I can break his name Watch it all fade The city we have built The sweat and blood spilt I would throw it all away, for you, anything I can mend this truth or I can leave it up to you But if you light it I will watch it burn Don't depend on me, oh the sweet irony As if I could actually, depend on you I can't take this back Though I wish I could If you could only see, the things inside of me They will destroy everything What you see is what you get My head held high, filled with regret I know this bridge was built to break I hope you're there when it falls I'm the only one who treads upon You can watch as I lose it all I've got my veins all crossed I've never been this so far gone Just know I want to leave But I know you need me I can mend this truth or I can leave it up to you But if you light it I will watch it burn Don't depend on me, oh the sweet irony As if I could actually, depend on you I don't want your excuse, its about me If you'd prefer somewhere else, by all means I bet you'd like me to sing, so softly In the morning you wake, what a fantasy You're scarabs in my skin You are my crimson stain Feed from me you sheep I'll scream it in your face Until every ounce Of your body shakes Tear me apart you sheep I'll scream it in your face.

Broken Oars 04:06
I've lost my sight in these clouded lies I never wanted for you to find out I kept it all inside I can't confide, god knows I tried It's hard to sleep while these demons haunt me all hours of the night These brittle broken oars Aren't able to row me ashore Take my words and wring them dry So just forget these things And let me drift on out to sea I'll give you anything other than me I can't relate I'm losing faith But I know I'll see your face again Your broken bones will mend While mine stay laced with malcontent All my shallow misshapen words are yours Just say what you mean I can't take back what I've seen I've hung myself with the noose that you wove You won't ever know I can't relate You've lost your faith I doubt I'll see your face again I see your brown eyes they close from the spark I can never hold your heart If you believe me I will seek the best Hope to live in happiness Hope to live without this mess.

Leaving 06:15
She is cold my friend we must understand that this was going to happen again The birds will sing, not so inspiring and I lack the wisdom Of how to love I wish I knew how to feel I know it's hard to read the stories on my hands If only you, could understand I am not the man I was, no longer a hungry soul Can't you see I am my own worst enemy My story, will unfold I'll just keep drowning Burying these things within Worries eat away at me, for I have sinned Sometimes I think of you It tears me up but I always knew You'd leave the things you need To please the ones you put in front of me I wish I could come home again, I'm branded a fool I wish I could be whole again, I've left too much behind A disembodied soul, trying to have me for it's own Put me to rest for my best is not the best God I'm not sure, if I can pass this test I'll just keep drowning Burying these things within Worries eat away at me, for I have sinned Sometimes I think of you It tears me up but I always knew You'd leave the things you need To please the ones you put in front of me You're just trying to please, and I know that you're keeping things away from me, It's not easy You lost yourself along the way, wandering these streets for a place to stay (I know that you're all alone, though I said I'd be forever yours) You're just trying to please, and I know that you're keeping things away from me, It's not easy Turning away from this, pretending we're not the ones you miss You'll just keep waiting, Always yearning for her hand The virgin lamb When she's with Another man I don't even want to pretend That we don't want to go back again With every minute mistake that you crave You can come back to me when you see my grave.

To Forget 06:06
I see the way that you sleep Watching you is so comforting Knowing that you can rest so comfortably without me Nights spent losing sleep (You said it all) I will take back what you wanted I will rip my heart out of my chest Burn it down, so you'll remember I was always your favorite I used to long for just a sip But now it's much too bitter for my lips So won't you close the grip around my throat As long as you hold me close Hold me close and quell the last of my delusional hope So when you come to me in my dead of sleep Why won't you take what you need? I gouge my eyes repeatedly In hopes your face would fade discreetly Even if you are laying next to me I can't sleep You're only alive in my dreams I will take back what you wanted I will rip my heart out of my chest Burn it down, so you'll remember I was always your favorite I was always your favorite But now I'm gone Yet, you still get along And I'll trudge on In this life that I don't belong.

Squander 06:53
I can confess but believe me it's true You walk all day in a fog of abuse When you see, we will be, at the front of the pack I know you won't care about what we lack I wish that we could all see How futile is our crying We'll sit and watch as all our seeds Will grow and bloom into nothing The soil is putrid and diseased Was it worth all this fighting? I'm just the sum of my bad deeds They'll swell and sprout into... Sprout into hate, it was no mistake You will find me drinking at the bottom of the lake I can't be sure of your intentions to love Broken, afraid Strength is hard to regain I can't be saved, I'll end up starving alone End of my days, You'll find me praying for grace I wish that we could all see How futile is our crying We'll sit and watch as all our seeds Will grow and bloom into nothing The soil is putrid and diseased Was it worth all this fighting? I'm just the sum of my good deeds They'll swell and sprout into nothing I know I'm not okay But I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid I see my reflection It isn't clear, I'm not really here I know I'm not the same And I want to change, how can I change? I'm numb to everyone I swear to God, I'm at the very end of my rope I'm fading so fast I've lost who I am Sure, I'm still here But I can't comprehend Why I just can't be happy Even though everything seems so complete in harmony Something is not right Something's here with me You reek of deception The smell is rancid, how can one stand it? Your tongue is running rampant, lies so stagnant We are all the same A crowd of sinning saints Show some restraint Yeah, we are all the same Crying to be bathed Rotting youth of today We can't be saved, beating the corpse of a dead saint I know this scares you to hear, so blatantly spoken With lives so broken, it seems sure to me You won't be saving me Who are you my friend? Who was the one who let you in? I don't recognize your face It's so faint, another time, another place Who are you my dear? Who you are, I fear Who is this person in the mirror? How did you, end up here? (You've planted this seed in me. It's bloomed into such hatred for your wretched excuse for importance) Who are you to say? Who are you to lay? (with someone else) Who are you to love? Who are you to cry? Who are you to die? (Am I any lesser of a person because I don't live and breathe in the same sin and filth as you? I've found my own disease)

I wish that I could leave More than what's in the drawer by the sink So my apologies For I will be leaving this life prematurely Stacy I swear it isn't you, I swear it's me My prides been pulsing steady through my veins It's been pumping all this shame into my brain Which I'll leave you so untastefully When you wake at night Pay no mind To the absence of me at your side (Just) fall asleep I'll just wait (You've been secreting) Take my side (Love and trust) We can make (While I've been rusting) A new life (You can't oil me back up) Just stay strong (This life I'm leading) Stay with me (Is not enough) Something's wrong (So I'll be leaving) It's plain to see Please don't do this to me You know I'll always love you I can't believe you'd leave me behind I wish we could rewind to make our love mine I guess that this means I'll forget our dreams The thought of them now is so crippling I'll empty out my lungs I'll curse the things you lost (Just hold my hand) All of them weren't enough (I'll just pretend) I need you to hold me and tell me it's okay (This isn't the end) Your absence has become my crutch (Maybe I'm just fine) You made this choice for us The way you left was so unjust Your hurt was not enough Horrid lead that spilled our love Maybe I'm just fine.
11.
If it came down to me I know The time will wash away with winter snow If it came down to me I know we'd be walking in harmony Here I am to hear the words you preach with a grain of salt Knowing your intentions to a fault Here I am again to feel the way your beauty shocks Open up a path, wander into dark Judge me I'm not your friend I need you like I need a hole in my head Boasting ill-will incessantly Is this really who you want to be Could have solved it If only you were honest Almost lost it I guess it's not your problem Could have solved it If only you were honest Almost lost it Because you wouldn't tell me anything Now I wish I started this path so long ago It's tearing me apart and the go is slow Here I am again starting all over Again and again and again When will it end? Your head's filled with such wretched things Your bigoted ideologies I compromised my integrity Just to keep you from trying to leave I know you said it's all the same But we paint on different planes I know you said it's all in vain I never thought I'd say Forget your faith As you lay On my chest I will be the one to catch your last breath.
