02. What The Dead Men Say
I'm calling out to you
Can you hear me? Numb and disconnected Just beyond your sight I'm not myself anymore But I'm not alone I'm not alone I'm not alone What the dead men say It's just between us What the dead men say You can't let go What the dead men say It's just between us What the dead men say You can't let go I'm holding onto you Do you feel me? Trapped but unaffected Like a memory I'm waiting for a sign of life And I can't let go I can't let go I can't let go What the dead men say It's just between us What the dead men say What the dead men say You can't let go What the dead men say It's just between us What the dead men say You can't let go Is this the light or a distant mirror You've kept me for yourself, that much is clear 03. Catastrophist
Who has the means to save us from ourselves
To pull us from the vicious cycles feeding back again Consume and feed, degenerate We damage just to liberate Bought and sold before we could even breathe I feel like we're falling A lifeline just out of our reach I feel our collapsing The arrogant numb to our needs You're a catastrophe The one who's come to devastate Catastrophist You stole our innocence You're a catastrophe The one who's come to devastate Catastrophist We never had a chance How far along before we fade away So deeply out of focus but it seems we never cared Deflect, deny, what flows inside The poison springs internalize Bought and sold before we could even breathe Who has the means to save us from ourselves To pull us from the vicious cycles feeding back again, feeding back again The bringer of our devastation You stole our innocence Bringer of our devastation It's you, catastrophist Consume and feed, degenerate We damage just to liberate Deflect, deny, what flows inside The poison springs internalize 04. Amongst The Shadows And The Stones
Bloodied corpses, broken bones reveal
A throng of clashes crushed, our nightmare sealed Amongst the shadows and the stones Dying mother forced to reconcile A hellish landscape just to feed her child Our interest waning, we desensitize Abusive power now becomes enshrined The harder we fight, the faster we fall Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl The joke in the end that no one will know We're dying for nothing at all The harder we fight, the faster we fall (fall) Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl (crawl) The joke in the end that no one will know (know) We're dying for nothing at all Bloodied corpses, broken bones reveal A throng of clashes crushed, our nightmare sealed Amongst the shadows and the stones Shining skies will bring on death below A compromising choice now rings hollow Self-interest gaining, killing monetized A million lives to boost the bottom line The harder we fight, the faster we fall Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl The joke in the end that no one will know We're dying for nothing at all The harder we fight, the faster we fall (fall) Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl (crawl) The joke in the end that no one will know (know) We're dying for nothing at all Bloodied corpses, broken bones reveal A throng of clashes crushed, our nightmare sealed Amongst the shadows and the stones My fear is teething Through salt and sweat The air decreasing Burns with regret My fear is teething Through salt and sweat The air decreasing Burns with regret Crumbled cities scattered far and wide The myth of mercy buried deep inside The harder we fight, the faster we fall Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl The joke in the end that no one will know We're dying for nothing at all The harder we fight, the faster we fall (fall) Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl (crawl) The joke in the end that no one will know (know) We're dying for nothing at all Bloodied corpses, broken bones reveal A throng of clashes crushed, our nightmare sealed Amongst the shadows and the stones Amongst the shadows and the stones Amongst the shadows and the stones 05. Bleed Into Me
Bleed into me
An ounce of your empathy Eyes lock, you can see A ghost, an invisible city Bleed into me Those feelings you're harboring The silence says it all Tragedy, the look before the fall Struggles and dreams mix into one The grim rituals have only begun No use in leaving I'll drift off before you are gone Before you are gone As it bleeds into me Let it sink in for you Tell them the story Tell them the truth As it bleeds into me Let it sink in for you Tell them the story Tell them the truth Let it bleed into you (Bleed into you) Bleed into me A bit of your apathy Cast aside, forget me Another disappears in the city (Another disappears in the city) Struggles and dreams mix into one The grim rituals have only begun No use in leaving I'll drift off before you are gone Before you are gone As it bleeds into me Let it sink in for you Tell them the story Tell them the truth As it bleeds into me Let it sink in for you Tell them the story Tell them the truth Let it bleed into you Falling down Falling down An ounce of your empathy Struggles and dreams They'll drift off before you are gone (Gone! Gone! Gone!) (Gone! Gone! Gone!) (Before you are gone) As it bleeds into me Let it sink in for you (Tell them the truth) As it bleeds into me Let it sink in for you Tell them the story Tell them the truth As it bleeds into me Let it sink in for you Tell them the story Tell them the truth Let it bleed into you (Bleed into you) (Bleed into you) 06. The Defiant
Explicit deviance
Don't have to hide Display their wealth of sin Right 'fore our eyes Complicit in ruin Protect with lies Defenestrate, destroy Mock and victimize Nothing to gain Playing their games Always the same Corruption betrays I stand in defiance of your ways (The defiant, the defiant) Nothing can absolve you from this hate (The defiant, the defiant in your way) Explicit deviance Don't have to hide Display their wealth of sin Right 'fore our eyes Complicit in ruin Protect with lies Defenestrate, destroy Mock and victimize Nothing to gain Playing their games Always the same Corruption betrays I stand in defiance of your ways (The defiant, the defiant) Nothing can absolve you from this hate (The defiant, the defiant in your way) Nothing can absolve you from this hate (This hate, this hate) I stand in defiance of your ways Nothing can absolve you from this hate The defiant in your way (The defiant) The defiant in your way (The defiant, the defiant in your way) I stand in defiance of your ways (The defiant, the defiant) Nothing can absolve you from this hate (The defiant, the defiant in your way) 07. Sickness Unto You
I, I give in
I am through My sickness unto you I give in I am through My sickness unto you I give in I am through My sickness unto you I give in I am through My sickness unto you I felt your heart stop beating With my own two hands I felt my life lose meaning I'll never be whole again I held you in my arms As she injected you with death We made you feel like there was nothing wrong It won't stop replaying in my head The opened eyes and mouth of my beloved Who now is dead I felt your heart stop beating With my own two hands I felt my life lose meaning I'll never be whole again I watched you start to fall So I eased you to the ground You looked both panicked and at peace It won't stop replaying in my head The opened eyes and mouth of my beloved Who now is dead I, I give in I am through My sickness unto you I give in I am through My sickness unto you My sickness unto you (A part of me is fucking dead My lungs have filled up with regret For every day I was away I'll never be whole again) A part of me is fucking dead My lungs have filled up with regret For every day I was away I'll never be whole again A part of me is fucking dead My lungs have filled up with regret For every day I was away I'll never be whole again It won't stop replaying in my head The opened eyes and mouth of my beloved Who now is dead I, I give in I am through My sickness unto you I give in I am through My sickness unto you My sickness unto you My sickness unto you 08. Scattering The Ashes
Your face betrays your words
And those words gave way to hurt The ground between us grows Like wounds that never show But the distance couldn't mend 'Cause the time ran out instead The ground between us grows Like wounds that never show Of father and son Two lives now come undone Of father and son Too late, now all is gone So tonight I'm scattering the ashes I'm scattering the ashes Your face reveals your pain Seconds lost, I take the blame The cold light cuts the night Your ashes come to life What's left is in my hands Will I ever understand The cold light cuts the night Your ashes come to life Of father and son Two lives now come undone Of father and son Too late, now all is gone So tonight I'm scattering the ashes I'm scattering the ashes What's lost We'll never know What's lost We'll never know Of father and son Two lives now come undone Of father and son Too late, now all is gone So tonight I'm scattering the ashes I'm scattering the ashes I'm scattering the ashes I'm scattering the ashes 09. Bending The Arc To Fear
A strain of vigilance
Deep roots that all connect We wait so diligent Watching you Watching you (Watching you) (Watching you) An engine of suspicion A web you can't escape Crossing all lines to listen Breaking through Breaking through Prey upon you The weak inherit all our scorn Prey upon you The fragile bones now ripped and torn Prey upon you The weak inherit all our scorn Prey upon you The fragile bones now ripped and torn These eyes show you Bending the arc to fear This heart will prove Bending the arc to fear These eyes show you Bending the arc to fear Prey upon you The weak inherit all our scorn Prey upon you The fragile bones now ripped and torn (Bending the arc to fear) Prey upon you Prey upon you Prey upon you Prey upon you The fragile bones now ripped and torn These eyes show you Bending the arc to fear This heart will prove Bending the arc to fear Bending the arc to fear 10. The Ones We Leave Behind
If you could breakdown and put yourself together
Then would all the pieces ever fit the same If you could see all the ways we're tied together Would you pull apart the ugliness and shame Gods walk amongst all Without fear Without tears On a higher plane than anyone of us Gods walk amongst all Without fear Without tears Tell me now, which side do you fall Distraught faces Vacant homes displace them All the time The ones we leave behind (The ones we leave behind) No hope, no help Excuses replace guilt Patronize The ones we leave behind The ones we leave behind If we could break through the structures built between us Then would all the fault lines simply disappear If we could fight back (fight back!) and bring ourselves together Then our sacrifices will not be in vain (will not be in vain!) Gods walk amongst all Without fear Without tears On a higher plane than anyone of us Gods walk amongst all Without fear Without tears Tell me now, which side do you fall Distraught faces Vacant homes displace them All the time The ones we leave behind (The ones we leave behind) No hope, no help Excuses replace guilt Patronize The ones we leave behind The ones we leave behind If you could breakdown (down!) and put yourself together Then would all the pieces ever fit the same Distraught faces Vacant homes displace them All the time The ones we leave behind (Gods walk amongst all) (The ones we leave behind) No hope, no help Excuses replace guilt Patronize The ones we leave behind The ones we leave behind |
