1. FATE

(Instrumental)


2. WINDOWS

Thought I'd be better off alone
without a feeling inside
But my heart froze
as you stood waiting that night
Well are you giving me the run around?
Will it be my soul I must sell?
But I couldn't say no
to find those feelings she hides
(Pride)

A bright light that shines
This angel of flame
Staring in your eyes
Uttered not but spoke everything
But you can't stop nor stall fate
I should've known better - too late
Now I can't let go
counting those feelings she hides
(Fright)

Oh no
Her windows show me the world
Oh no
My little enchanted girl

A thief in the night
I found my spirit stolen
Saint Valentine
I can finally call you a friend
Though my heart has been ripped out of place
playing Cupid's stupid games
But she held me close
and found my feelings inside
(Alive)

Oh no
Her windows show me the world
Oh no
My little enchanted girl

Atop observing masses
where giants are so small
My solitude and yearning
a silent beckoned call

Will you find me amongst shadows?
For her eyes know not the dark
Would you run from your forever
when forever feels like home?
Though the orchard always whispers
of the blackest pines afar
My blood sometimes found waning
but the wine helps numb the want


3. REVERENCE (MAKE YOU LOVE)

This betrayal of the highest cost
A bottomless pit, no forward or reverse
Trapped inside my troubled mind
What have I become?
Forgive me for trying to move on

My pain echoes in the arms
of the devil lately
Fashioned of sleet, stone, and snow
Memories like water poured
through my hands, maybe I'm
Lost at sea tossed to and fro

I'll make you love
Make you love
It's all worth fighting for, baby
I'll make you love
Make you love my soul
I'll make you love
Make you love
It's all worth dying for, baby
I'll make you love
Make me love your soul

Hear me when

This feels like a death of a loved one
My personal end, I'm less than none
Shackled by this modern day
old heretic's fork
Forgive me but I can't move on

My pain echoes in the arms
of the devil lately
Fashioned of sleet, stone, and snow
Memories like water poured
through my hands, maybe I'm
Lost at sea tossed to and fro

I'll make you love
Make you love
It's all worth fighting for, baby
I'll make you love
Make you love my soul
I'll make you love
Make you love
It's all worth dying for, baby
I'll make you love
Make me love your soul

Hear me when


4. EFFIGY

A circle of our friends
Camp fire in haunted woods
From her sanguine stare
and the howling of the wolves
Her body language signs
elope into the night
Our secrets kept
in persuasive alibis

Multiple metaphors
escaping to the dark
What would the others say
if we happened to get caught?
"Now hush that pretty mouth
and climb between my thighs"
This was the moment when
our friends were sure to die - Oye!

There's a killer
loose with a blood lust
I'm none the wiser
I blame my own lust

And you give, and you give, and you give
with hips so dangerous
We should be heading in
but I'm just too focused

On the way that she lies spread
in perfect effigy
On this Halloween

Of oozing pheromones
this nectar of fine oil
Where steel now meets the bone
Blood fused with quakened soil
Our wooded wonderland
decorated with desire
Her arching back confirms
another death transpired

The circle of our friends
found dead by morning woods
I'll never know of when
but the blame is on us
Ashes to ashes
and lust to lust
Fingers surely point
we'd better get lost - Oye!

There's a killer
loose with a blood lust
I'm none the wiser
I blame my own lust

And you give, and you give, and you give
with hips so dangerous
We should be heading in
but I'm just too focused

On the way that she lies spread
in perfect effigy
On this Halloween

The right place and the right time
For we were nowhere in sight
Surely, surely it couldn't be us
Oh, surely, surely it couldn't be


5. WINE

(Instrumental)


6. PERSEPHONE

Push it in and pull it out
Assumptions and intuitional doubt
Too bold to hang your head
Too dry and exhausted
Narcissistic, vindictive mouth
Slander screamed from your ivory tower
Who would've known that I'd pray for death?
But they all find who the victim is

Oh, Persephone
The Earth bows to your stroke
But it's control you serve
Futile attempts
Did it feel so right
even when it's so wrong?
The autumn shows me you fled
back into his arms

Gather friends to make them foes
A heavy price for a hefty cost
You nurtured life into a villain
Infidelity, my own coffin
Projecting fault for true colors
Your claims are your true nature
Twist these words and argue facts
I'd have a heart if you didn't exist

Oh, Persephone
The Earth bows to your stroke
But it's control you serve
Futile attempts
Did it feel so right
even when it's so wrong?
The autumn shows me you fled
back into his arms


7. SERENDIPITY

Twenty twenty equals forty-two
The sum is absolute surprise
Ptolemaic theory has been found
In the way
the way I'm spinning 'round

What she won't speak hides in her eyes
The locksmith that seals and binds
Tangled cosmic lines

The universe won't let us part
Forever speaks within' the stars

Three seven north of one twenty-two
Language only seen in sine
Constellations luminous and proud
Is it fate
oh, fate that seeks us out?

What she won't speak hides in her eyes
The locksmith that seals and binds
Tangled cosmic lines

The universe won't let us part
Forever speaks within' the stars

But I know she was the lion
born of the sun
A servant of desire
all things that make her come

To question all existence
Solve DaVinci’s code
Increase sustenance
In all ways that are her own

Her pyre burns so bright
Her flames all consuming


8. WANDERLUST

Exceptionally cruel
How quickly life betrays
Such an elegant mask
that hides the rawest pain
Show me every line
and every weary place
Gone is the sense of time
Once full, now empty space

And what do I do now
that my wanderlust is lost?
Could we reconcile?
Will it ever stop?
And what do I do now
that my wanderlust is lost?
Could we reconcile?
Will it ever start?

A million dollar gaze
looks through the hole in the wall
How beautifully arranged
desperate to know the fall
Maybe a miracle
or divinity's grace
Scatter sands of time
reprieve from my mistakes

And what do I do now
that my wanderlust is lost?
Could we reconcile?
Will it ever stop?
And what do I do now
that my wanderlust is lost?
Could we reconcile?
Will it ever start?

But there's no beat
in this empty shell

Infatuation is self mutilation


9. CRADLE THE MONSTER

Gather all your people
Torches and pitch forks
Time to storm the castle
the Witch or Dracula
Blinding circumcision
Social Media
Hunted without questions
of Sheep and mice, they are

(Whoa)
The ugly and the evil
(Comes)
From those who seem normal
(Trust)
Your innocence the weapon
(Doubt)
Their deception's your own demise

Cradle the Monster

Labels thrown
oh so loosely

Misogynistic bigot
Trans and homophobe
Heed warnings, I'm just a
man and an asshole
Nazi or a racist
if you don't conform
Respect everyone
but kill pedophilia

(Whoa)
The ugly and the evil
(Comes)
From those who seem normal
(Trust)
Your innocence the weapon
(Doubt)
Their deception's your own demise

Cradle the Monster

Labels thrown
oh so loosely

Fooled by magicians
How easy herds will sway
A creature created
the debt will soon be paid
Mob rules and violence
Avoiding all debate
Control with silence
Fear what it awakes


10. WISTERIA

(Instrumental)


11. SISTINAS

Take my hand
You'll never find
another quite like mine
If you look
you'll see that I'm
a lonely one

I lost my soul
deep inside
And it's so
black and cold
deep inside

Sistine smile
You'll never know
the trap it's set
And if you did
you'd never look
into it's eyes

I lost my soul
deep inside
And it's so
black and cold
deep inside

Hey. the sun don't shine
the wind won't blow
when you go hide
Hey, without your love
I'm lonely
deep inside

Take my hand
You'll never find
another quite like it
And if you did
you'll see that I'm
a lonely one

I lost my soul
deep inside
And it's so
black and cold
deep inside

Hey. the sun don't shine
the wind won't blow
when you go hide
Hey, without your love
I'm lonely
deep inside


12. PROVERBS

She claims I look like Jesus
but I can't save you

Adam uses love to get sex
While Eve uses sex to get love
Perhaps too profound for weakness
Accepting of death than to serve
Promise the world in an instant
So long as there are others to groom
Only the dead will ever care
Entitled feigned innocence blues

Rumored to find hindered respect
Concealed knife in a stiletto boot
The greatest wonder of Eden
Between her legs and man's generational doom

As sure as the red
from the Heaven's bleeds blue
The garden's snake guards the fruit
If lost and alone
is the seed of your truth
Know I'm waiting for you


13. GOODBYE BLACK BIRD

Don't cry
Don't cry
Boy, you must be strong
This ghost
the spirit of
all I'll ever want

Alenius, reveal what it takes
to let you go
Boardwalk prison seas
Roam steep cable car streets

Goodbye haunting black bird
Don't follow me home
A murder of black birds
but you were the one

All is undone

Maybe in our death
our Heaven is
the ground that we've shared
Do you reminisce
as I reminisce
with a long midnight stare?

Alenius, reveal what it takes
to let you go
The apex of Twin Peaks
Fig and Thistle corridor breeze

Goodbye haunting black bird
Don't follow me home
A murder of black birds
but you were the one

All is undone
