I feel something cruel within me
Calling out It calls my heart to wander Far from here It troubles my dreams The thoughts of leaving It claws at me Leave everything I've come to know and depend on Buried hidden meanings at the edge of everything Slowly there corroding every bit that's left of me Buried hidden meanings at the edge of everything Slowly there corroding every bit that's left of me The weight is not mine, weight is not mine alone Though you pretend to comprehend it The fear is not mine, the fear is not my end Though you attempt to keep me in it Did you even try to find me? Did you even care for one last chance at reconciliation? Do you know how long these veins have ran? Remnants of red that stains your hands We are all but to our end again This familiar place of discontent Are you ready for the apocalypse? When our hearts implode, from this corrosion (x4) Buried hidden meanings at the edge of everything Slowly there corroding every bit that's left of me Buried hidden meanings at the edge of everything Slowly there corroding every bit that's left of me You must know And you all but must know The fear is not mine, the fear is not my end Though you attempt to keep me in it The weight is not mine, weight is not mine alone Though you attempt to keep me in it Did you even try to find me? Did you even care for one last chance at reconciliation? Do you know how long these veins have ran? Remnant of red that stains your hands 02. Fleeting Vigilance
I'm lying awake
Trembling on the inside Forsaken, forlorn... Love will not come for me It cannot find where I lay Inside, I'm dying Liar... Liar, manipulator Corroding from within You watch as I die inside Neglect is the greatest sin Can you see at all Past this lecherousness? Do you feel the fall? Here comes the reckoning Are you chasing? Or are you running from? Your own feelings of what's been done Here comes more, of the same Of what's been lost and what remains Where does this end... time only corrodes... I am anger incarnate and I will drag us down in flames Wait for it... words never told... I am warped from all of this, with lingering hope and staggered breath Fortresses built on the shores of two broken souls Fortresses now found in flames of all that's left untold Where does this end... time only corrodes... I am warped from all of this, with lingering hope and staggered breath Wait for it... words never told... I am anger incarnate... Fortresses built on the shores of two broken souls I am warped from all of this, with lingering hope and staggered breath Fortresses now found in flames of all that's left untold I am anger incarnate and I will drag us down in flames 03. At Dawn
The tide rolls in
The moon pulls from within Celestial tides, drown her The tide rolls in With rusty nails you bind my feet to the floor I'd trade my sunlight for your mornings With barbed wire you tie my wrist behind my back I've lost myself to this Right on the edge of no return Right at the edge of your heart's lost and dark unknown Waiting for, we don't know Can what's been lost be returned, or must I let you go? Ahhh No one can prove I am alive Leaning against the wall Face down in compromise No one can prove I am alive No one can prove I am alive Leaning against the mind Face down in compromise No one can prove I am alive I've gone and given myself a dream Always just out of reach I'm walking into the wind Steps not aligned, nor lives intertwined (x4) Take down the wall Take out the mind I've created a rift And lent my reason to the tide Only these waters keep rising And the stakes always keep climbing And I'll keep trying We linger on borrowed time Always aware we are meant to die Right on the edge of no return Right at the edge of your heart's lost and dark unknown Waiting for, we don't know Can what's been lost be returned, or must I let you go? I've lost myself to this Knowing just how it ends Gracious with lies we bent The truth, lost within us Dark clouds surround your head The storm coming from ahead The roar of the rising tide A changing season of our lives Along the horizon Lightning dances It's where you stand, it's where you'll fall Walk on water, but drown, drowning within 04. The Banished Heart
This dark winding road
A long path ahead A sound in the distance of light escaping Through the haze a silhouette A glimpse of reality Only leading to nothing, where no light dwells I feel hope leaving I see love fading What I wanted to be, what I couldn't become If you could find me Would you even know me? An empty room, an empty heartbeat... I have found you in the darkness I have found you... And...and here you are To set a brand new path... To show me all that love means I was lost, lost at the edge of all reason And I...I didn't know my way I'd given up hope But...but, here you are to set a brand new path To show me all that love means (x2) When I hold you, I need you I said forever, and I mean forever I was lost, lost at the edge of all reason And I...I didn't know my way I'd given up hope But...but here you are to show me a new way I didn't know love until your name But here you are to set a brand new path To show me all that love means (x2) When I hold you, I need you I said forever, and I mean forever I was waiting impatiently But finally this moment has come To see you, to feel you, this magic from far beyond Can you see it? Can you feel it? Finally you are in my arms Oh real love Most real love I've died to be yours What was lost Your heart has found Most beautiful one Can you see it? Can you feel it? Finally in my arms Can you see it? Can you feel it? Finally you are in my arms Oh real love Most real love I've died to be yours (x2) Can you see it? Can you feel it? Finally in my arms Oh real love Most real love I've died to be yours 05. The Watcher

06. Etiolation
The colors fading from within
I feel the veins retract beneath my skin Feel it down to my bones The way darkness creeps when you're alone Can you see my flames awaken? Can you give me no relief? Can you turn away this weakness? Will you walk away from me? What's owed has brought me to my knees The feelings I get when I try to breathe The good parts don't remain We waltz into the end I know this place You take from me for gain You take my love in vain And here we are the same as before Could you believe The other side of bliss is misery? Could you believe The other side of bliss is misery? Wait for the fall Wait for the end Wait for the fall Wait for the end Wait for the fall Wait for the end The end of us all Wait for the fall Ahhhh... ahhhh Deceiver, faithless Holding onto nothingness Weighted down by our faults Left to die alone in our thoughts The good parts don't remain We waltz into the end I know this place You take from me for gain You take my love in vain And we are the same as before... 07. A Path To Broken Stars
On her knees she's ready to let go...
Poised for a prayer at the altar of regret Forged in a light directed by lusting Emotions and vibes, you don't understand It's not hard to see the end Of your choices chasing whims Can you let go, can you see the signs? What you've become, just to be desired... She'll cross her heart with lies to her own detriment Then falsely lay with claims of her own betterment You've gone far away from what you have known Far a way... Our hearts have cast away their roots to the source Far a way... Treacherous creatures of waiting You are lost You are lost Lost from within Faltered beings of indifference You are lost You are lost Lost to your whims (x2) You've gone far away from what you have known Far a way... Our hearts have cast away their roots to the source Far a way... You've gone far away from what you have known Far a way... Our hearts have cast away their roots to the source Far a way... You've gone far away from what you have known Far a way... 08. Howl Of The Rougarou
Where do we go from here?
The end of the road might be the way home Sparkling like dew under a bright blue moon Midnight sorcery made between broken hearts Can you hear the darkness calling out your name? Mindless spirit things Lend to thee what we cannot see Deliver us from evil thoughts As we walk amongst the shadows The simplest offerings That must appease, appease and please Dark muddy sludge at edge of the river bed Magnolia's bloom and their fragrance pulls you in Gris-gris of a good heart that's gone mad What you think you remember you may soon forget The darkness is calling you away Will you answer it? It takes what it wants It takes all of it There's no need to resist anymore Its power is stronger than any man's will ever was You are fucked, what do you care anymore? In your chest is what matters And your heart's already given in 09. Her In The Distance

10. No Color, No Light
Limbs out stretched and reaching for the sun
But only a glimmer remains Tethered to this place of neglect Roots reaching no sustenance Come away with me I'll show you where The waters run forever Aged by fire Warped by winds Forced to strive to live against This insidious way This perilous fight This treacherous place of your demise Along the cracks decay begun Warped and weathered shades of holding on Your rings of age will grow no more Outnumbered from the nevermore Aged by fire Warped by winds Forced to strive to live against This insidious way This perilous fight This treacherous place of your demise Where I come from, are branches made of gold A sign of the remnant, sun, sun, sun The waters run, your roots will never thirst A stream of forever, ever more (x2) Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait? I am calling, heed my calling I have conquered it, your days will have no end A sign of the remnant, sun, sun, sun Oh evergreen, reining tower of the sky Your roots reach forever, ever more (x4) Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait? I am calling, heed my calling Limbs out stretched and reaching for the sun But only a glimmer remains Come away with me I'll show you where The waters run forever 11. Wayfaring Stranger
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world below There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger In that bright land to which I go I'm going there to see my Father And all my loved ones who've gone on I'm just going over Jordan I'm just going over home I know dark clouds will gather 'round me I know my way is hard and steep But beauteous fields arise before me Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep I'm going there to see my Mother She said she'd meet me when I come So, I'm just going over Jordan I'm just going over home I'm just going over Jordan I'm just going over home |
