Tracks



01. Knife Fight In A Phone Booth

Is this the end of everything?
This is not a game
This pain this fear in solitude
Holding you under, under the flame
Praise your god, strike him
Fake him, and promise him nothing

I will see it all go down
No blood between the lines
You say it will be found
Your blood between the lines

Save your face for the killing fields
No more leading grace in you
Segregate this alliance
Holding you under, under the flame
Praise your god, strike him
Fake him, and promise him nothing

I will see it all go down
No blood between the lines
You say it will be found
Your blood between the lines

I will see it all go down
No blood between the lines
You say it will be found
Thankful for blood between the lines
The Blooded line
Thankful for blood between the lines
Will you take this all?
Depending on

02. Sullivan

Take another break from faith
It means nothing without rape
These whispers behind your back
This horror was hiding in front of our faces

It seems an honest man was wrong
You failed yourself, but for how long

Do you care, do you give shit
Two lives were crushed in one single moment
You had your slave now you sleep in your grave
No longer a lead, you're far from a father

It seems an honest man was wrong
You fucked yourself, but for how long

Sullivan - I'm not my own
Sullivan - I'm not my own

Bet it was nice to be the first
You get harder with the starting burst
Once inside there is no looking back
No apology given unfucks the past

It seems an honest man was wrong
You killed yourself, but for how long

Sullivan - I'm not my own
Sullivan - I'm not my own

Sullivan - I'm not my own
Sullivan - I'm not my own

03. Murder The Dance

Impressive I must admit it was to see you
Not knowing how far
Caring little about your fate
Resign your nobility
Money's all that really matters
Intuitive testament to what you believe is wrong
To what you believe is wrong

You have little choice in this matter
Heart dead but dancing still
Murder the dance you've got one more chance
For something they told you to believe in
Where would you be without your cause?
I can't believe you're all this lost
Murder the Dance, take a stand
For something you chose to believe in

This battle is told in time
No man can decide it
No more to offer them than a spec of hope
This could all be for nothing
So many take it for granted
Deceit indeed it's the wreck of the fortune
That tells the weak from the Strong

You have little choice in this matter
Heart dead but dancing still
Murder the dance you've got one more chance
For something they told you to believe in
Where would you be without your cause?
I can't believe you're all this lost
Murder the Dance, take a stand
For something you chose to believe in

You have little choice in this matter
Heart dead but dancing still
Murder the dance you've got one more chance
For something they told you to believe in
Murder the dance, Murder the Dance
Murder the dance, Murder the Dance

As I take a shot, as I take a shot
And I will burn any and everyone
Anywhere you're face motherfucking down
Rotting from the inside out
Take a stand motherfucker

04. The Sleeping Beauty

Sleep now, you've got no one to face
The sin is mine alone but can I be the same

A deliberate mindfuck
Think of the trade was mastered
Step into my world for one day
To see what it's like to be a bastard

Show your crown
For you royally have failed
Stay your ground
Kindly pull away the veil
We Offer nothing more to anyone
The sleeping beauty is...

Wake up this hour can't be over
I need a chance to explain
I just signed my death warrant

Nothing can justify
What evil I've awakened
Take your gun pull the trigger
Send me to the hell I merit

Show your crown
For you royally have failed
Stay your ground
Kindly pull away the veil
We Offer nothing more to anyone
The sleeping beauty is...

We offer nothing

05. Morose

Six days and counting on
Loving every bitter second of this train wreck
Move along, one more weakened body
On track to seek a better life
Every move is trickery in flesh
I seek a better life, I seek a better life

Tight rope
What good is a broken neck?
Knife cut
I can't remember which way works
Gun shot
Just what I need is one less eye
Last one
I guess just need more perseverance

Strengthen your callous son
This is nothing more than testing gods
Laughing your disgrace
Give them pleasure at your face
Complicating deaths design
Fuck the rest and do your time in song
I seek a better life, I seek a better life

Tight rope
What good is a broken neck?
Knife cut
I can't remember which way works
Gun shot
Just what I need is one less eye
Last one
I guess just need more perseverance

This is only the beginning
Things are much better than before
I need a second to deliver
Things are much better than before
A quicker death is a struggle
My way is nothing to the saint
I need much more than a reason
Things are much better than before

I seek a better life, I seek a better life
I seek a better life, I seek a better life
I seek a better life, I seek a better Christian

06. Occam's Razor

This is alright
Will you ever know
Just how far you'd go?
Will you ever say to me...
This is alright

Will you take your turn?
Is your lesson learned?
Will you ever think to yourself...
This is alright

To much antidote
Just open your throat
Will you ever know you're alright
This is alright

Will you ever know
Just how far you'd go?
Will you ever pray to me?

07. Bastion

Walk in this crowded room
Your mind has been made up
Hunting, little girl you know
That I've got the upper hand on you

We're not so different, you're not so innocent
Everything will be just fine
Hike your legs up a bit, get your punishment
One step closer to immunity
You've got to live and learn, let the tables turn
What better way than slavery
Let your hair down, your foolish crown
This is your last bastion

You weaken me...your stare, your smile.
You'd better bring a fuck of a fight
This line is wide but it can sure be crossed
Leaving no remorse on the field
Goddamn, I've been needing this
My god, we've been needing this
Someone slap some sense into you
Before you make the same mistake

We're not so different, you're not so innocent
Everything will be just fine
Hike up your legs a bit, get your punishment
One step closer to immunity
I've seen the tables turn, you've got to live and learn
What better way than slavery
Let your hair down, feet up off the ground
This is your last bastion

Bastion

We're not so different, you're not so innocent
Everything will be just fine
Hike up your legs a bit, get your punishment
One step closer to immunity
Let your hair down, feet up off the ground
This is my last bastion

One last regret, one final remorse

08. Slavior

When should I pick a new substance?
Learned to live with nothing at all
My times spent on limiting
Prayer wasted on unwanted gods
Lead the lemmings, base it on constants
Who will jump when it's time to fall?
When god came nothing was decided
No right to think, no wrong to feel

Take a look, clarify contents
One word makes a difference
Repeat carbon copy cutouts
Looking up when you should look down
Take a second dignity compounds
With the slightest hammer fall
When god came nothing was decided
No right to think, no wrong to feel

Breaking, forming, loving
Every second of this
Force-fed notion of a greater god

Say what I need in Silence
You were sent to die
Say what I need in Silence
You were sent to die
In the bottom

Try to stand
Shake it off be a man
This indifference has got to go
Shut them all out
Pay no mind it's a test
Sorting process of mice and men
In turn there is no light
At the end of this tunnel of enlightenment

When god came nothing was decided
No right to think, no wrong to feel

Say what I need in Silence
You were sent to die
Say what I need in Silence
You were sent to die

09. Kettle Black

Wanna take slow but you take it hard
Nobody told me it would go this far
Fucking taking everything in sight
You are the blister that never heals
I wasn't always this green and naive
It takes years to develop
This lie you believe
Slowly work my better half
Still just as worthless as fighting death

It's all because of you
My Body's bruised
It's all because of you

Some people never learn their lesson
Lives run by the slut obsession
I guess that what I get
I didn't see it coming
The pot calls the kettle black

It's all because of you
My Body's bruised
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
My Body's bruised
It's all because of you

Heartless
My own faults are owned
Regrets
No fear lives alone
Revenge
Water from a stone
Endless
No cure to disown
In my finest hour
on this southbound quest for power
This fork in the road is reoccurring
Going into battle with no vision blurring

It's all because of you
My Body's bruised
It's all because of you

10. Poseidon

False sense security you feel alive again
Your state of purity is weakened
Misdirection can cut it all away
In dissection no doubts are left to disdain

It's in the river flow
This gaining gift of pride
I'm not the fairest one
Take this home tonight

Feeling so alive
Misdirection can cut it all away
In dissection no doubts are left to disdain

It's fucking pitiful
How easy lives are dealt
Something so beautiful
With meaning so unfelt

Savior my whore goddess
Find your place on the floor
Liberation

High noon my only friend
It's finally time to drink again
No worries on this day
Together we rise
And know how we've become Poseidon

11. The Demons That Could Be

Name your poison
On this broken floor
I've seen this end before
You are in this trap alone
Don't think for a second you're going home
Rigid fingers won't make it right
Close your eyes while you pray for sight
Only pain in this disposition
Keep returning your strength for this weakness
I say fuck the system
Use the wisdom as the catalyst
Then we'll burn it all down

Do you feel ready?
My back is turned on you
So pure and fitting
The demons that could be are killing you
You're most unwilling
Eyes roll back with the burn of a companion
In hell you're drifting
The demons that could be will make it right

Doomed to this subtle end
Attachment not a friend
Feel sick you're the witness
Comprehension fails you
Now its death entails you
This phallic shit must stop
Its mockery sends out the closing crop

Facing westward
You must travel alone
Take one last look at its bitter laugh
And one day a priest will release you

I will no longer be your sober fantasy
Do you feel ready?
My back is turned on you
So pure and fitting
The demons that could be are killing you
You're most unwilling
Eyes roll back with the burn of a companion
In hell you're drifting
The demons that could be will make it right

Do you feel ready?
My back is turned on you
So pure and fitting
The demons that could be are killing you

12. Vertical Smile

Treasure this
This knife that's in your path
This wound will never heal
The curse just keeps on growing
Formulate a plan
It doesn't have to end like this
I can see when I'm not wanted anymore
Reaping the benefit of someone else's labor

Realize this goal is miniscule
Sacrificed this comfort ridicule
Realize this pain is gone, moving on
Sacrifice

Whets the use
You plan to antagonize
Think it through
The motion not the size
Take it from me
It doesn't have to end like this
I can see when I'm no longer on a throne
Time to deliver
Penance is pain when the damage is done

Realize this goal is miniscule
Sacrificed this comfort ridicule
Realize this pain is gone, moving on
Sacrifice
