i guess it was fate
that brought us together
whether or not that’s for better or worse
i know that you hate
when I don’t let my guard down
trying to hit me right where it hurts
but you find a way
to get inside
hide the sun
from the sky
you’re the cloud over my head
when you come around it feels like midnight
the anchor around my neck
pulling me down
you darken my doorstep
i spend the night sleepless
i know you’ll be there when i open my eyes
staring over my shoulder
i’ve already told you
deal with your s*** and leave me to mine
but you find a way
across the line
tear the sun
from the sky
but you find a way
inside

you can talk until my ears bleed
you just need someone to listen
someone to give into your
bulls*** rhetoric
it’s meaningless
it’s only words when you walk away
paint a smile on your face
they say we’re building freedom
but they’re putting up walls
they say we’re given choices
but it’s artificial
you’ve got a head full of reasons
and you believe in them all
when it’s convenient
but the butterflies built the hive
and the lesser of evils
is the devil that leads you
paint a smile on your face
they paint a smile on your face
and tell you it’ll be alright
they say we’re moving forward
but who’s at the controls?
we’re making choices
but it’s artificial

The Prettiest Grave
05:53
|
|||
|
we’ve got our heads in the sand
to hide us from the truth
i don’t understand
the damage done to you
and if our eyes never meet
i’ll never know who you are
it’s easy to believe
it’s a victimless crime
maybe i’m selfish
maybe i just don’t care
i’ll erase the footprints
that prove that you were here
but i won’t forget you
when the waters part our ways
i promise to bury you
in the prettiest grave
we were holding our breath
when the rain came crashing in
i knew i should have asked
if you knew how to swim
i thought i did you a favor
thought i helped to cleanse your soul
heard your voice in the hallway
echo through the floor
maybe i’m selfish
maybe i just don’t care
i’ll erase the footprints
that prove that you were real

Thieves

alone in the dark
my back to the wall
waiting for rescue
but i’m giving up
i’ve been here forever
still nothing’s changed
carefully guarded
locked up in chains
you came in late like a captor at night
and stole me away from the places we hide
we made our escape, like thieves we ride
in the end, it’s you and me versus the world
caught in the storm
that turns in my head
ran for my life
but hit a dead-end
a voice in the distance
follow the sound
forever in circles
can’t find my way out
come and rescue me
‘cause in the end
it’s you and me versus the world

Cauterize the Earth
05:20
|
|||
|
black veins show through the skin
a new disease has taken control
from the heart to the fingertips
ripping the flesh from the bone
choking on the air we exhale
looking out of bloodshot eyes
feeding on the hands that hold us
sink our teeth into their sides
the flock will take control
the parasites will grow
we’ll turn these plains to dirt
we’ll cauterize the earth
last remains swept from the scene
fresh paint used to hide the wounds
erasing every memory
buried in a concrete tomb
deafened by the blaring sirens
blinded by the flashing lights
dissected in the name of progress
hold on to the last faint breath of life
nothing is ever enough
no, nothing is ever enough

Table for Two

i watch the vultures circle the sky
with their mouths wide open, and their eyes shut tight
when the cowards drop in to rob the hive
of the sick and fallen left there to die
i’ve watched the snake lie in the grass
waits for a fool to hold out a hand
i’ve seen the hunter turned to prey
stroking his ego until it’s too late
i see the animal inside you
behind the eyes of a friend
as you welcome me beside you
with bated breath
tangled webs and trusted lies
broken hearts that still survive
smiling lips that salivate
the world is ours, it’s there to take

One Night (EV)
04:13
|

|
we’re lonely anymore
but knowing you, i see inside myself
so transparent, but you don’t care
it’s easy this way
tonight never meant forever
it’s only a face that matters
the stories we’ll tell
years from now
nameless and empty
easily replaceable
bring the energy you need to feel alive
for one night
there’s a vacancy when i look in your eyes
for one night
adoring eyes are watching
every move, meant only for you
reading my mind, and you’re aware
i’m here for you
the surface is deeper tonight
and the small talk breaks the silence
the stories you tell
you know me so well
nameless and empty
the long ride home
has given me plenty of time
to see inside
to what you like
the sound and the style
a stage and a smile
so easily replaceable

from the window i can see the lights
changing with your heartbeat
a kind distraction from the war inside my head
unaware of the wave of sound
washing over me
all i remember are the last words that you said
was it all a bad dream watching everything fall apart
in front of our eyes?
isn’t it a sad thing, that feeling we can’t change the world
even if we tried?
from the window i can see the streets
looking back at me
i feel at home in this comedy of fools
all distracted, all too busy
all just living for today
all too confident that someone will come through
they say…
from the window i can see their eyes
looking back at me
wishing we had known this day would come
