01. Parsonz Curse

Dark streets, my enemies
In shadows looking to see
I know just where I am going
You stare, there's smoke in your eyes
I get close, my blood is the price
You know just where this is going

Oh, mother, don't you cry
This thing will pass us by
I'm strong, I'll put up a fight
I know it's hard on you
I'm gonna see it through
I swear on everything

I'm not gonna let it burn
I'm not gonna let you see
Fear is what you want
Coming over me

This curse is following me
I will break it, setting us free
I know just where we are going
Old bonds still holding
I'm ending this, I say
I know just where this is going

Oh, mother, don't you cry
This thing will pass us by
We're strong, we'll put up a fight
And I know I'm hard on you
I'm gonna see you through
Let's give it everything

I'm not gonna let it burn
I'm not gonna let you see
Fear is what you want
Coming over me

I'm not gonna let it burn
I'm not gonna let you see
Fear is what you want
Coming over me

Oh, you can run, you can hide, but I swear it
Just swear it
Oh, these walls will tear you down

02. Whispering World

Here's the reason
It's the way that you are
But I'm letting it go
In this season
I am learning in life
That I have no control

So I thought over time
And made up my mind
To throw you a line
It's dead in your eyes and you don't reply
I'm wasting my time

Now I'm driving around playing back all the words
In my head that I should have been saying
I should have been strong
I knew you were wrong
But I just let you break me

Here's the reason
It's the way that you are
But I'm letting it go
C'est la vie
And cry salut
Let it go
Let him choose his own road

And you can push us out
And you can do what you want
But you're on your own
And no one's listening
No one cares anymore
Now you're all alone

So I thought over time
And made up my mind
To throw you a line
It's dead in your eyes and you don't reply
I'm wasting my time

Now I'm driving around playing back all the words
In my head that I should have been saying
I should have been strong
I knew you were wrong
But I just let you break me

You lie
You cheat
You steal
You hurt

Here's the reason
It's the way that you are
But I'm letting it go
In this season
I am learning in life
That I have no control

And you can push us out
And you can do what you want
But you're on your own
And no one's listening
No one cares anymore
Yeah, we let you go

03. Shake And Shift

You have shut down over some time
Memories go in and out of your mind
In your dreams they come to the light
You toss and turn and you fight it at night

You know what's wrong
You see the truth
You're fighting it but it's not easy
No...

You gotta walk through this
Your body shakes and shifts
You gotta walk through this
Hold your body, shake and shift

You gotta walk through this
Your body shakes and shifts
You gotta walk through this
Hold your body, shake and shift

You have shut down over some time
Memories go in and out of your mind
In your dreams they go to the light
You toss and turn and you fight it at night

You know yourself you can not lean on anyone
Do you trust yourself to walk through all this time you've lost
Keep me informed
Oh, body, speak, don't bring me sickness
I long for the truth
Bring the truth to me
This heart's still beating

Just close your mouth don't let it out
You're on your own
Give these things some time
In time, I know
You'll see it's gone
Keep your eyes ahead
Don't hide your face
Be an honest spirit
I long for the truth
Bring the truth to me
This heart's still beating

This heart's still beating
Oh, this heart's still beating
Oh, my heart's still beating
Oh, oh, oh, oh, my heart's still beating

This city is gonna crash
This city is in the air
This city is coming down
This city is gonna burn

You know what's wrong
You see the truth
You're fighting it but it's not easy

You gotta walk through this
Your body shakes and shifts
You gotta walk through this
Hold your body, shake and shift

Your strong hands
On your side
Keep digging
Into the earth
The way is slow getting home
You're wiser now
Spit it out

Your strong hands
On your side
Move slowly
Just recognize
That's the way it goes
You're wiser now
Spit it out
That's the way it goes
Let it go

04. No Good

What's the point in you just hanging around
You're just a dead weight on my ground

You're no good

Time and time again you run your mouth
I see through you
Figured you out

Now you lift me up then you put me down
Behind my back your words get around

Smooth talker, you think you're slick but I don't, don't
I don't like you, leave me alone

You're no good
You're no good no
No good

You're no good

I'm a little tired you hurt my head
You're so draining I'm seeing red
You smooth talker, you think you're slick but I don't, don't
I don't like you, leave me alone

You're no good

Shit, shit, here you come again
But I can see you, snake in the grass

05. Blue

I was looking for you
But you've come to me
Press my spine on the tree
Yeah
Open my eyes
I wanna see

Swallow me up
Take me up in your light
Swallow me up
Take me up in your light
Swallow me up
Take me up in your light
Swallow me up
Take me up in your light

It was black, you were blue
As we soared over sea
You were singing to me
Yeah
My arms open
I'm going deep

Deep
We are going so deep
So deep
Yeah
We are going
Go deep
So deep

In the lies
In the lies
In the lies
In the lies

I can't feel my face
What is this place
I'm in your dreams
Ha ha ha ha...

Take, my love, what is yours
Hold me close and know despite the distance I can not ignore
We were searching, broken, we wanted to live
We will never be the same

Things have pulled us apart
We can never have the love we had, we bend and break our hearts
I see clearly
Who do they think that they are
I will never be the same
The same

06. Sleeping Witch

Black ships and their masters
They're coming anyway
I know what you're after

There's cheap wine, romance, and you
Then I called, but you did not answer your sleeping witch

Black ships and they're sailing
The stench of death they crave
I know what you're after

Come get what you wanted
You take it anyway
I see what you're after

There's cheap beer, romance, and you
Then I called, but you did not answer your sleeping witch

We're dead
You're dead
It's dead

There's cheap rum, romance, and you
You
Then I called, but you did not answer your sleeping witch

We're dead
You're dead
We're dead

You're dead
It's dead
It's dead...

07. South Of Somewhere

Teach him and warn him
Oh, when he sleeps at night
These things will haunt his bones

Mountain's eyes on them
Oh, what these watchmen see
These things will haunt their bones
Oh, what these watchmen see
These things will haunt their bones

And south of somewhere, somebody's in there
I fight for good reasons, the calling's closer
And if I see them, I will start with questions
I won't stop repeating until there's answers

And the dead of night will come in vain
I am careful in proceeding on my way
You can whisper in my ear
The things they say
But it will not bring me pain

The land now is buried
Oh, what you left behind
You can not have it back

And south of somewhere, somebody's in there
I fight for good reasons, the calling's closer
And if I see them, I will start with questions
I won't stop repeating until there's answers

And the dead of night will come in vain
I am careful in proceeding on my way
You can whisper in my ear
The things they say
But it will not bring me pain

08. Drown

When will this be over
I can't wait
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's changed

Your face down in dark water
You're going to drown
Drown

Maybe when the sun comes up
You'll see your waves
You've gone too far out

I can see her doing well
That when you're not around
You are like a flame that's rising
But she can't put you out

And I believe a better life is waiting for her
But no one here can stop you now and we all know you won't let go

Please try
My hands are tied
I'm over being under this and lifting your weight
You're running away
You're not fooling anyone
I hope you're getting over this
I'm sick of it

I don't wanna see your face around me anymore
All of your excuses old and tired
You're becoming a bore
And if you die before my time and she is there to say goodbye
I will show her how I feel
She'll see the storm that turns in my eyes

Please try
My hands are tied
I'm over being under this and lifting your weight
You're running away
You're not fooling anyone
I hope you're getting over this
I'm sick of it

Twisting pulling turning I am getting this out
Bitter is the taste of your name in my mouth
Twisting pulling turning I am getting this out

Twisting pulling turning I am getting this out
Bitter is the taste of your name in my mouth
Twisting pulling turning I am getting this out

I hope you're getting over this
I'm sick of it
You're running away
You're not coming home
Kill it, I'm burning, he's not coming home
Kill it, I'm burning, he's not coming home...
When the sun comes up maybe you will see your waves
Kill it, I'm burning, he's not coming home...

09. Minus

I don't need you anymore
I'm sailing away
I don't want you anymore
I can feel your heart break

But we need this
Oh, how we tried
We aren't helping each other
We're just breaking our backs tonight

And I made up my mind
I'm ending this now
And I made up my mind
I'm ending this

10. Black Water Vision

There's a coin on my neck
Heavy weight on my chest
Glowing white light surrounds me
Now my spirit's caressed
There's a trembling in the corridor
I feel it in my head
Someone's talking to me
I don't understand
My body burns
In their hands

Now a language pours from my lips
Like hot oil from a jar
I can see the foot of holiness
You scream, "Kiss me, bow down"
Have pity on the demon
It was forced upon the child
I am not the enemy
Where are the eyes of God?

There's a black and a white one
Don't you spit on my land
That would make your path a crooked one
Now the bibles are swelling
As the people cry no
I will grip you with my burning hand
You'll understand
And I won't let go

Black
Dark tunnel crawl inside
Water
Looking for an end in sight

I'm swallowing your death

There's a weight on my neck
Heavy heart in my chest
Now a dark light surrounds me
My spirit is possessed
