I hear the ravens calling to you
Oh soulless creature violent death Scapegoated, blame laid upon me I'll be damned to take what's left The root of the problem Has been buried too deep By the time you get to it Problems will have surpassed the end Dig them up Or let the pendulum swing I put my hand to your heart And let the bullet burn your blood You seem to me death incarnate Raper of life, killer of love 02. Insomnia For Months
There is no choice
Crash into mirrors Visions in the pieces Comprise a whole picture Energy is cheating Insomnia for months There is no choice Cannot count fingers Multitude of memories Left in a stupor Sobriety out of boredom Insomnia for months Structure was never solid I built it earthworn 03. Said And Done
As these old days rust
And new ones come It's said and done As these days fade away And new ones sway It's all been done Falling towards gravity's end As these days stay still And some of them kill It's said and done This new dawn is callous This time is not for us Bring forth forever silent tongues End of day, wake of dawn This time it's not calling Our numbers they are falling Bring forth forever silent tongues 04. Unknown Awareness
Seeds of scorn are planted
Tribulations are hanging Humiliation congeals Minutes stutter unknown awareness Nonviolence that is nefarious Forbidden hunger, age is hunting Inhumane encounters Minutes stutter unknown awareness 05. Running Red
This time we are certain
A cloud draws color running red I'll bury my hands in black water Undercover where they've bled Oh reconcile these actions In tune and unaware Where is my matchmaker Tell me how you live your life Cold cool flesh killing night Without warm light becoming nothing I watch the falling embers beckon Come inside, come to me Unaware of this growing tension The stillness quips at your retreat Where is my matchmaker Tell me how you live your life Cold cool flesh killing night Without warm light becoming nothing Oh reconcile these actions Covet it's murk and bleak relief Casting fuel into the fire In it we find the truth we seek 06. Nature's Predators
Streets lined with blood
Sleep no longer rests Try to tune it out This is no love generation This is the town I live in It is an American tension Nature's predators live through death Your neighbor killed big brother Dim away the world Whitewashed away Waking symbols rest Human interest repressed We are not victims We are someone's enemy We all have to blame someone Because fault is never personal This is the town I live in It is an American tension Nature's predators live through death Your neighbor killed big brother 07. Almost Lost
Immersed in confusion
Drag out this unwillingly This soundwave is paused Uneducated adornment Agenda of truth It is a lie There is none Fact or fiction In between We want to build An explanation of contradiction Spinning wheels Unwelcome home Do not smile It's not prescribed Momentary hallucination Well adjusted The new insane 08. Only One
Locked into moments seen through and through
Like darkness shining on you revealing and weeping I try to Try to see things through and through As darkness cloaks the sun I seem the only one Brick anchors in wet sand Carry through tomorrow's end Lines of life carving hands Clear the patch, claim the land 09. Perception
Years of thought trapped inside
An unstable judgement Perception of severity Insidious eye Without sight Crossing wires Perception of severity We are together never alone Some other time Place my hand unto you Feel no shame Hover and suffer Over one Lost ending soul One reason to fall Is to rise Break down, break down One false move Everything changes No second chance 10. To Walk Alone
Thought not to walk alone here
Where all things die Witness the sameness of will Where all men cry Farther and farther away Into long ago Soft yellow halo inside Keeps me alive My own reflection subsides When I look to you Written and noted by none Fade out into I drift farther away Into long ago Witness your hollowing eyes Find time to die Long ago Fade too slow Fall to life Motion go |
