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

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

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?

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

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”

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

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?

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

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
