1. STORMING VALHALLA

With each step I can feel the ground shake
As if we were to die this very instant.
We bleed like running water.
We are alone in this.
You're dead to me.
Welcome home in a bodybag.
You have no morals left and your love is lustful one.
Follow me to the edge, let's hold hands and die together.
I can't look up for the life of me.
I can't take seeing and empty sky once more.
We have killed ourselves and slit our wrists dry.
Each and every one of us.


2. HEAD OF MEDUSA

Replay murdered history in front of me.
They can only see me as a child.
I haven't been there in years.
Home is so far from me now that these hands hold me under.
I'm disappearing into the walls that surround me.
I can't give what I don't have.
So I walk this lonesome road hand in hand.
With my ghost hand in hand.


3. DESTROY THE STAIRS

Engines are turning with nothing to run them.
But the going gets tougher as the years roll on.
Remember way back when? We need something new.
Something better.
Not broken and fixed.
We are the medicated zombies roaming
The earth with our empty bodies.
I wasn't able to do this before but now I'm letting go.
I am falling apart.
You are falling apart.
I am falling apart.
We are falling apart.
This city is dying but we were already dead.


4. SCAVENGER'S DAUGHTER

This is the director's cut.
The version where the rest of us don't get left out.
For what it's worth, I've always cared,
Just never wanted it show it.
We've always wanted more but now it's time to take it.
It's come from making love on
The altar to dining with savage souls.
Forgive me, I was born a plague into my mother's arms.
I am the black cloud that ruins your day.
I am the voice that never goes away.
We are the faithless and thou shall take no pity on me.
Gone but not forgotten.
Your demons will be left in your coffin.
These eyes are bloodshot from no sleep but
I will never sleep again.


5. MEMENTO MORI

Bandage, our broken bodies,
On these tightropes we're walking.
I don't ever think we can make
It across this open sky alone.
My fingertips are frozen until
The point of forgetting where I'm from.
But sometimes the dead can't forget like young lovers.
We were left to dread the days of mouths
To feed and no one to come save us.


6. GHOST TOWN RITUALS

And when I open my eyes I see the end of an ending life I've forgotten how to live.
I keep forgetting, I keep rebuilding.
This is when I say I'm done.
I haven't learned.
No one will show me, so I go on my own.
Honestly, I'm so fucking pitiful.
Don't tell me what I've heard before.
Destined to walk another day alone.
This day is dying.
This day is fucking dead.
Just shine my way back home.
You can stay if you find comfort.
Don't speak.
Just breathe instead.
Just don't leave me alone.
I don't just need it, I deserve it.
I want what I promised myself.
I want what you promised us all.
I'm coming to terms.
This is the end of denial.
Sometimes things just fall apart.
Angels laugh above me and demons wait below.
I'm naked, bare, and broken, ready to go home.
Now I need you more than ever.
And when heaven overlooks me
I'll need you there to pick me back up.


7. SYMPHONY FOR THE PLAGUE

When will we notice, the faces we see everyday?
The ones that matter most are the ones that
I will see pass before me when I go.
I can't but help to wish we'd all be stuck here
And never grow, never leave, never change.
I will never forget you.
I'm so sick of all the so-called failures
And the blame we put on ourselves.
There is so much more to this.
There is so much more when you have given up on the world
And whatever holds us past the sky.


8. BURY THE MESSENGER

And the chorus swells.
Congratulations motherfucker
On that bullshit novel of yours.
And that performance taking stakes in your feet and hands.
Am I the lesser man? These knees bend for no one.
My god stands even with me.
We shed new skin with repentance
But our failures are never flesh deep.
Is this what you call love?
Put on a happy face.
Let's make this pleasant.
Refuse love.
Fuck your love.


9. WE WERE MEANT FOR RUIN

I'm open arms and ready for the end.
Sell me to the sea and let me be one with the wind.
Such a glorious apocalypse.
Our thrones have burned to the ground.
We have ruined a life worth living.
We have done ourselves in.
The muffled screams will now be heard along
With the voices that've never spoken.
This is the end of the youth that I knew.
I would die for a generation of lost souls.
A generation of so many lost souls.
We were meant for ruin.


10. ETERNAL TEMPEST

When we fly, we can't fall bitter,
The devastation haunts me and you.
You all dropped dead in place.
In place you rise.
The ones who speak, fight me off.
I am mute.
Convinced are those who hear me speak.
They never really heard.
Let sleep my restless spirit bring peace within me.
The anchor that binds me.
The wind that engulf me.
It swallows me whole.


11. LET THE WATERS OVERTAKE US

Wait up for me, I've been running forever.
My heart has been beating too slow to catch up with my feet.
So this is what it's like to be alone.
I never thought I'd end up like this.
And for the first time in my life
I find myself on my knees (reaching up) to the sky.
I am the greatest of all pretenders.
You will never know how my insides burn.
Please don't wake me up.
My soul hurts to even be.
What have I found in this life of mine except that no one
Can ever find true happiness without finding it within
Themselves first? I shouldn't have to feel this way.
No one should have to feel this way.
Sometimes the only way out, is giving in.
