I had an urge to play for blood I had to see what you were running from On and on we craved attention Comatose: still paying the price Holding on to every lesson Holding on tight to every lie And every single coal you lay Down at the start of... The path to self control is lined in disarray Light em’ up to find your weapon Old enough to drink the blood And fucked enough to taste the difference Cold enough to keep the smoke inside Between the loss of light and fall The subtle differences collapse They call it nerve, venial sin To push your demons down again When every single coal you lay Down at the start of... The path to self control is lined in disarray When you learn to take it On and on i’ll let you win When you learn to fake it Holding on to sear your skin

Worship 02:22
I’m the bleeding lie The worry on your chest I’m the naked eye that Blurs the line to lone obsession Innocence is relative Your innocence is divisive Come back for me Burn your way out Push it all down Bleed
3.
Wool 04:59
First time I said it out loud I still had nothing to hide wouldn’t you start to add up the hours And stealing your time? Was it you that cut me down to my knees? Cut me down to my ties Who spread me out like disease? Or at least a symptom I’ve got to sweat it all out They want to take me alive Wouldn’t you? Sell me the lie Sell me the pain that you want me to be Sell me the truth Can we go back now? Or have we already? Broken down why settle when We can deceive? Was born ready to die Was born ready to bleed Your god sounds like a machine A stranglehold in the dark Are you really ready to be another victim? If angels asked you to leave Or asked you to stop Wouldn’t you? To speak your mind To be the change that you wanted to see To face the truth We can’t go back now Or have we already?

Tesserae 03:07
I’m made of blood and ashes Chemical accessories We saw the world collapsing Counterpoint with new disease Cauterize the sting The poison rises to the top They curled up in a panic Thought I had ‘em Ready to give up What about us gave it away? I'm made of borrowed hours Lust and envy Blood and bone We saw them turn to cowards Dust to ashes running home Cut the ties that bind the tattered Bursting at the seams And raised glasses to the branded Empty handed in their time of... What about us gave it away? What about us screams disillusion? Like a needle in your vein A tourniquet to ease obsession A voice to fan the flame a voice to cut you down

Eclipse 05:06
You made me taste it from the inside I’m sure it never felt wrong The years lay rusted on my dead eyes Don’t speak Just go forget it And what we are is temporary And what you’ve lost... You haven’t lost a goddamned thing It’s real Hey you gotta love it Blind dedication and a target on your back And you’re still not finding answers If i make it with this target on my head... It’s the cause without effect You caught me searching for a meaning When everything was all gone Start to make sense of what I'm seeing Don’t think Just go forget it And what we are is temporary And what you’ve lost: Our skin, our teeth, our bite Hey you gotta love It’s the nation made of scars across their backs Yeah you’re still not finding answers Hey you gotta love it Dedication is a promise to react It’s the cause without effect “I’m not affected”

Black Fire 04:44
By the way you crawl to sedate yourself Marked for death You or the lamb In a circle screaming loss from tired tongues Hanging up your tired hands Fingers bleeding out loud With no pain, no stall, no beginning There you were like an old wound healing Scarred: we burst into fire Get this out of me Come and play god Push me to believe Come and play god No strength in numbers No strength in giving up The light, the doubt, the reasons I sell myself Why can’t you stop death and the moon from rising Above my truths to tell? We were medicated in black At loss for words At loss for truth There you stood like an old wound bleeding Scar and burst into fire
8.
Dissolve 05:25
I heard you crawl inside my head I was wide awake I heard you talking to the dead in silence I heard you tell them I had gone alone I heard you tell them i was wrong and alone Are you fading out? Are you looking down? Are you sorry now? You’ve seen me talking to the moon with light You heard me say it’d happen soon with light And i could tear this world apart, alone You wouldn’t have fear the darkness anymore Are you crying out? Are you going down? Are you sorry now? Are you running out? Are you going down? Are you sorry now?

Lavender 04:39
Waiting on the night I’m out, paralyzed in discovery Lost in the illusion And the way we glamorize the clouds Finding solace in what it means To be the only ones Hanging on to what we’re told Here and gone without a trace Holding out for... Holding in the pain And you could recognize what’s owed And make it right but can’t erase Gone is gone We’ll find another light We’ll find another day

Gone Is Gone 05:53
Now that I’ve tasted all your violence It’s a bitter give and take Now that I’ve tasted every weakness And every symptom... And now i’m taking in the silence Of borrowed hours, blood and bone With my self righteousness collapsing I’m starting fires with rusty coals Am I taking it for granted? Are you nervous? Are you wet from finding solace in the panic? From reacting? If I could find a voice of reason Here and now To call it quits or call it treason Call it self hate Well you can relay That i’m choking on the quiet The look on your face While choking on the silence Push and burn
