1. THIS GHOST

Crossing my mind a thousand times. The cost and personal sacrifice
Hateful words in notes and melodies. This excuse undeniable truth
Reaching ears faster than you can move.
The last place I expect to cover my eyes, from fevered discontent.

[Chorus :]
If they could change
Would we admit these empty promises they give
Never telling us to live, our will can not be broken

Plaguing my mind a million times the loss and personal sacrifice
Spiteful words in chords and melodies. This abuse holds true
Still nothing can escape through the worst of it all, or just regret

[Chorus]

This pride we hold so closely
Our will can not be broken
Instilled till the day we die
Our will can not be broken


2. RECKLESS ABANDON

Place these fingers over the holes in your flesh
But you’ll never find the pieces that you lack
Searching nameless city streets and abandoned hearts
For your salvation, nothing will save you here
Borrowed time forgotten miles, faceless tragedy
A lost city’s demise

[Chorus :]
We’ll be the ones to break this mold
You’ve spent to long to get this wrong
Your perception and your walls
Between everything, catch your breath
You’ll make amends, you’ll be free at last

This point of despair, revealing force
With no acceptance of the present situation
This place of desire, deserted with no one
But yourself to blame

[Chorus]

You’re making promises you can’t keep
Turning your back, too weak to stand up
Or face the road of the righteous
Your wrists unbound, it’s in your hands... now

[Chorus]

Your chance for reinvention
Your chance for reconnection
Your chance for this redemption

You’re wrists unbound, it’s in your hands... now
You’re wrists unbound, it’s in your hands


3. THANK YOU FOR DRINKING

I’m calling last call, you’re still intoxicating
Lies and deceit used like a fist, cornered and battered
You’ll burn every bridge before too long
While your self respect is gone

[Chorus :]
Lay your head down
There’s nothing left for you here
Lay your head down

Suspended in a revolving door of the blind
Of all these faceless acquaintances
Which will take the place of us. Only time will tell
This undeniable truth shall be known
The meek shall inherit the earth and the weak shall

[Chorus]

Absolve your veil of lies
Dishonesty and pride
I’ll reveal your rightful self
With the scourge of a thousand voices

With the scourge of a thousand voices
And the rapture of these legions ignite
We’ll see you in hell


4. MISS OCTOBER

To all that’s safe, our memories
Our justified angst so consumed
With no escape just time to wait
Bury our distress to console
Isolated we let out self denial
A faint memory of a fall left black
Only three words left to say
I fail you

[Chorus :]
I’ll pay my respects to what I have left
We’re so close to home yet we’re falling apart
At the seams and memories guiding us to sleep

Call your name it’s been so long
It falls on deaf ears, tragic failed attempt at
Redemption
Photographs discarded reemerge
Only to throw me deeper still
Remorse and regress two years ago
Familiar places becoming foreign
A faint memory of a fall left black
Only three words left to say
I fail you

[Chorus]

Nothing is safe not memories
Or visions of you, so confused
With no escape
Only three words left to say
I fail you

[Chorus]


5. BLED OUT IN BLACK AND WHITE

Disconcerting feeling has opened my eyes for the very last time
This faith stirs an echo, I hear amongst the safe and perfect waste
A slow fear still creeping in, invasive and persuasive
Like a whisper softly convincing me to move on
Lay waste to all the tangible explanations, nothing’s as it seems

Spit out the words to this question
The validity of my future faults

Carving my intentions with this blade of distinction
Digging better still in my skin
Twisting slowly opening the wound

Spit out the words to this question
The validity of my future faults
Spit out the words to this question
Where do I begin

This line scored from ear to
Telling a tale of exsanguination

This calm stirs an echo I hear amongst the sacred perfect waste
A slow fear still creeping in, invasive and persuasive like
Secrets quietly convincing, and missing the moral in these eyes


6. MARTYR OF TRUTH

I wanna breathe you in senses realized
At first sight this day imagined... waiting
Wanting for so long
Gaining this long lasting epiphany
A dream well within my grasp

Laid out for me to follow
But with every intention is fulfilled
I wanna breathe you in senses realized
At first touch my veins are on fire
This can’t be real, could not be absolute
Unfeigned feeling of compassion
Rises through the pores of my skin

Before us for us
This collapse holds true
Before us for trust
Faith in this renewed


7. NIHILITY

Take these shards of meaning extract all your precious lies
Buried deep inside, empty cavity thay conveys your nahility
Precocious smile and state, it’s in your vaccant stare and amorous gaze
Nothingness of your world consumes, expressing the vile abandonment
All that is precious and good, has it been lost or merely forgotten

[Chorus :]
Take blackened hearts that you forsake
Press theses words, understand that
The pain you don’t feel
Holds you back again

This harsh reality still must be addressed much too soon
With this copious disregard for this at all
Negligence as your personal best
Your foul palm and fingers, not delicate enough
For this pure body trusting of your touch

[Chorus]

Reflux and distress, not meaning a thing
But breaking you down, complete disdain

[Chorus]


8. LIFE OF UNCERTAINTY

This avenue, this home takes everything but gives back solitude
A proud departure from the rigors of a mundane breath
Expelled from the depths of a blackened sea
Expelled from the lungs of a gasping child
Strangled with a noose benign of provocative engagement
Coursing through these veins is the will to pursue
The unthinkable, with the diligence of so many before us
To achieve this reverie
The only way because

[Chorus :]
We chose this
Life of uncertainty, with this life of uncertain means
We can still believe and face change in a
Life of uncertainty, life of uncertain means

A collapsed paradise, laid waste to the masses
The ample saturation almost choking the life out of us
But enough air to breathe though this permeated dream
We extort respect and honesty, but guile and cunning
Require our defenses, evoking our purpose and objectives
Forming this alliance that shapes and molds
Without discretion, our intuition
To achieve this reverie
The only way because

[Chorus]

Calling out with steadfast senses possessing all the answers
Questioned and revised until the end of time
Worth and want tested with an action of advication
Describing our fate and delicate delivery of this hate
To achieve this reverie
The only way because

[Chorus]


9. THE ARCHITECTS

Condemned ones void of any signs of life
Retribution of words to decide
Our hands with recklessness at our throats, now
Affording disregard of these vessels encountered
Take pity on the precious hope and what we construct
With vigorous intent, we are the architects of suffering
Everything in a trail of desecration
Everything we have fought for thus far

Blueprint and design of our future, held in our hands
Still on a path of self destruction, mark our words
There will be nothing left of this, fabricated shell
Dismantled brick by brick, consummate just one more fix

Another day withered away without justification
Falling apart anticipating to reconcile
Pacify and divert the bane of our existence
It seems the only way to abandon and deprive of reason
We can’t spare ourselves the strain we bestow
Our bearing firm, self deprecation
Can we afford to defend our reality today

Everything with a path of degradation
Everything we have paid for thus far

We are the architects of suffering
We are the architects of criminal desire
We are the architects of suffering
We are the architects of such imperfection
We are the architects of suffering
We are the architects of such imperfection


10. COMPLACENCE WITHOUT PURSUIT (LIVIDITY)

Your stagnant truth this buried youth, wake up wrought with atrophy
Your scars will heal take my hand I’ll guide you through
Strip your thoughts of this treacherous road, I’ll bring you home

[Chorus :]
Your heart beats with shallow depth
Lividity is certain
Still breathing shallow breaths
You failing wish dissolves

Carve your niche you’ll scream your name
You’ll follow with no avail
Clawing through the sediment you’ll be corrupt no more
This pressure unnerving clutching you closer

[Chorus]

Your pulse weak this darkened day
This crushing calm to the back of your head

[Chorus]

Failing your heart stopped beating
Tragedy of life worth saving
Grasping I’ll hold you closer
Gasping this one last breath

Chorus


11. COME UNDONE(*)

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo,
Happy birthday to you was created for you

Can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can't I believe you're taking my heart
To pieces

Oh, it'll take a little time,
Might take a little crime
To come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry

[Chorus :]
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone

Words, playing me dejà vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers

Can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart
To pieces

Lost, in a snow filled sky, we'll make it alright
To come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry

[Chorus]
