1. 15 PIECES OF FLARE

I saw the bridge today, I thought I had it burned
Made a stop to memories, I drowned out and had covered
Falling down into the river, where we’re broken and destroyed
And understand I saw the coming of a past I’d left destroyed

I saw the ghost of everyday, of every year I have forgotten,
And the grief and the confusion
Of a world I’d soon discover
The ghost of myself, is still mourning all the lives I won’t discover,
Because I buried myself forever

I buried myself, and carved out new existence,
Where the memories were burned, and break all of my wishes,
And now I still pull down myself, and I’m trying to find the bridge, and build the life
And build the life, the life I always wanted
Be no room, with much to give, open my eyes, and take the world, and take a breath
In turgid water, where I’ve hidden away,
And I set my heart to slaughter
And the past I’ve left destroyed

I saw the ghost of everyday, of every year I have forgotten,
And the grief and the confusion
The ghost of myself, is still mourning all the lives I won’t discover,
Because I buried myself forever

Yeah!

My future, will not, be defined, by my past.
My future, our future.


2. SNICKLEFRITZ

I've spent my life down
In the depths of an enigmatic mind
Where the water turns to black
It's there alone I spend my time.
Try to see my own reflection
Try to divide
Myself in equal parts
For every heart I've left behind.

For every heart I've left behind

But my heart it isn't such
Such a lonely hunter
(Such a lonely hunter)
It's just trying to stay afloat
And keep from going under
(Keep from going under)
'cause the steps that I seem to take
(To take)
They just won't give me the time
(No time)
The time to pull myself together time to hit rewind

It's where the root of all my evil lies
Where it digs still ever deeper
Where you'll eventually find my heart
The heaviest of heavy sleepers
It's in the darkness and the guilt
And all the heartbreak blood I've spilt
It's there you'll find me hiding out
In the darkness sitting still

I'm sick so sick
Just sick and tired
Of trying to believe
In every lie
There are no hearts
Not even fucking mine

Just black tar pits
And empty eyes.

But my heart it isn't such
Such a lonely hunter
(Such a lonely hunter)
It's just trying to stay afloat
And keep from going under
(Keep from going under)
'cause the steps that I seem to take
(To take)
They just won't give me the time
(No time)
The time to pull myself together time to hit rewind

I've been searching,
For something,
Some semblance
Of myself
But I've
Left that behind,
Always searching
For myself and hoping
That I'll like what I find.

But my heart it isn't such
Such a lonely hunter
(Such a lonely hunter)
It's just trying to stay afloat
And keep from going under
(Keep from going under)
'cause the steps that I seem to take
(To take)
They just won't give me the time
(No time)
The time to pull myself together time to hit rewind

The time
To hit
Rewind


3. I HEART THROBSY

You'd, give up the world, take on the earth
But you'll falter I can see it in the way
Your tourniquet is bound
Weak as your will at the lowest point

You'd give up your life, just to feel the earth
Fall away beneath your feet again, gasping for breath with a lack of will
The lowest point brought about by you

And they still stand there with their arms outstretched,
and that's how it will be forever more
And on until the ocean, delivers you from your chosen place
Your former contempt for yourself and life as you held it prior

You'd, give up the word
To take on the earth
But you'll falter I can see it in the way
Your tourniquet is bound
Weak as your will at the lowest point

You'd give up your life, just to feel the earth
Fall away beneath you feet again, gasping for breath with a lack of will
The lowest point brought about by you

Oh, you'd give up the world
Just to feel the earth fall away beneath your feet,
but I'll wait right here for you

You'd give up the world, but the world is here,
waiting for you to outstretch your arms
Waiting with bated breath, for you to realise,
that you're worth more than the value you've placed on yourself
You're worth more than that value..

You'd give up the world, but the world is here
Waiting for you to outstretch yours arms
Waiting with bated breath, for you to realise
You're worth more than the value you've placed on yourself
You're worth more than the value, you've placed on yourself


4. R.I.P STEGGY

When you're standing on the edge
(When you're standing on the edge)
Waiting to hear from the
(Waiting to hear from the)
All the angels you hope will
(All the angels you hope will)
I can tell you right now
They will never be
There to save you, like you hoped they would

So when you're standing on the edge waiting
To hear from
All the angels you hope
Will come to save you
I can tell you right now, they will never be
There for you and time waits for no one;

You did this on your own
There's no one here don't you know
Where were you when we grew wings
And learnt to fly?
On your own, where are your friends that you were running from?
So where were you when we grew wings and learnt to fly?

You will be on your own
As you're waiting for
The angels you hope
Hope will come to save you
So where we you when we grew wings?
Where were you when we grew our fucking wings?
So where were you when we grew our wings?
You did this on your own..

So when you're standing on the edge waiting
To hear from
All the angels you hope
Will come to save you
I can tell you all right now they will, never be
There for you and time waits for no one;

You're all alone
You're holding your heart
You're all alone
But don't turn to me

These cliffs aren't frozen anymore
And these wings of lead
Have lost their dead weight
These cliffs aren't frozen anymore
And these wings of lead have lost their dead weight

So when you're standing on the edge waiting
To hear from
All the angels you hope
Will come to save you
I can tell you all right now they will never be
There for you and time waits for no one..

So when you're standing on the edge
waiting to hear from all the angels you hope will come..


5. STRAIGHT UP

Straight up

Just take a look around, look what you're leaving behind
Get rid of the glare fused with lightning strikes, it burns me alive
Fold your arms, like sedatives and bleed it out
Not with your suicide, but with a dream
We'll all sing
We'll all hail the end

High hopes will burn that rope and bend the blade, just remember..
That broken chairs aren't vessels for escape
They're just reminders of what we waste

And all this talk of dying...take a look around
We all feel, like dying, sometimes
But the, courage to go on, to keep living
Is the more admirable choice

High hopes will burn that rope and bend the blade, just remember
That broken chairs aren't vessels for escape
They're just reminders of what we waste
All all is talk of dying, is..just getting old...

Straight up

We are here
To give you, the chance
To turn your, broken hearts
Into smiles again


6. DONG WAYNE

Don't you, think it's strange
How we speak to ourselves when everything is falling to pieces?
Like molten lead to water
We fall apart and fragment
Always tearing ourselves in two
And hiding from regret

Always tonight and never last night, baby
You know it's all we have to get us through
So fucking sure that this will never end
New friends, new days, new nights
We'll make it through

On my own I learnt to feel it, and together
We learnt to kill it

It's strange, how these thoughts and how they come together
And I want to kill it
And let it forever die
These things I need to grieve and then I grieve
And then start learning as tomorrow slips on by

Always tonight and never last night, baby
You know it's all we have to get us through
So fucking sure that this will never end
New friends, new days, new nights
We'll make it through

On my own I learnt to feel it, and together we learnt to kill it...


7. CUT IT OUT

You think we're fucking blind, you think we're so blind
But we see every cut and every scar
So cut it out

So drag the knife across
And break our hearts again

So drag the knife, across your skin
And break our hearts
So drag the knife, across your skin and cut it out
Cut out our hearts

We're here for you, we're here to share your hurt
So cut it out, just cut it out
Cut it out

Please stop cutting yourself
Please stop cutting yourself
Please stop cutting yourself and cut it out

You think we're fucking blind, you think we're so blind
but we see every cut and every scar
So cut it out

So drag the knife across your skin and break our hearts again

I will be here for you, I will be here for you
Will be here for you, just stop cutting yourself and please cut it out
Just stop cutting yourselves and please cut it out


8. CORNERSTONE OF MISERY

Well once again…
We set sail toward the sky (The Sky with wings of lead)
From frozen cliffs with wings of lead (We Find Ourselves)
And we find ourselves once more (back where we began)
The cornerstone of misery…

I am ready to breathe again
If I had a million last words to tell you

These words are the end of the solitude
Which held fast for so long inside this cold shell of a human being

They could never be adequate
They could never hold true
So I’m left dreaming of angels
Weaving a symphony (In blue skies)
I Dream of angels (these are the dreams you inspire)
Weaving a symphony in blue skies
Well once again
Well once again

We set sail toward the sky (The Sky with wings of lead)
From frozen cliffs with wings of lead (We Find Ourselves)
And we find ourselves once more (back where we began)
The cornerstone of misery…

Those torn wings which grounded me for so long
Have been given new life
So now I can fly with you as we cry for joy while staring at the sun
Nothing can be as bright as this today
No star can shine so beautifully tonight

We Find Ourselves…
Back where we began…
We Find Ourselves…
Back where we began…
We Find Ourselves…

Well once again…
We set sail toward the sky (The Sky with wings of lead)
From frozen cliffs with wings of lead (We Find Ourselves)
And we find ourselves once more (back where we began)
The cornerstone of misery…
The Sky with wings of lead
We Find Ourselves


9. SEVERANCE

This silence just became disconcerting
And I am more than worried…I…
Try to steal glances through the smoke
But I…I…find that I’m collapsing on the table amidst it all

Staring at exit signs
Until my eyes bleed green and white
Staring at exit signs
Until my eyes bleed green and white

Feeling the warmth drain from within
Watching my face contort
In the blood spill
Watching my face contort

The silence just became disconcerting
And I am more than worried
(I feel the warmth) Worried about
(Drain from within) The state of
My severed hands

I guess that I’m…falling out of touch…
I guess that I’m…falling out of touch…

Feeling the warmth drain from within
Watching my face contort
In the blood spill
Watching my face contort

The silence just became disconcerting
And I am more than worried
(I feel the warmth) Worried about
(Drain from within) The state of
My severed hands

I’m still trying to steal stares with glances
Still dying to be so close to…
Severance…Severance
Still dying to be so close
To Severance
I see my face contort

The silence just became disconcerting
And I am more than worried
(I feel the warmth) Worried about
(Drain from within) The state of
My severed hands


10. EMPIRES LAID WASTE

I can’t prolong the inevitable anymore…
The hidden empire inside our hearts
We built, we burnt, and we laid…we laid waste
To every dream and we gave flight to this ending
It’s so hard to turn around
Without even understanding the fall…

To break our wings, to burn our dreams
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, fear, and regret!

Set fire to the way we were and forget everything
Set fire to the way we were and forget everything
When every stone is turned
When every stone is turned looking for an escape
There’s not too much left anyway
There’s only so far you can travel with stars in your eyes

The hidden empire inside our hearts
We built, we burnt, and we laid…we laid waste
To every dream and we gave flight to this ending
It’s so hard to turn around
Without even understanding the fall…

There’s only so far you can travel with stars in your eyes
Before you burn them out and lose sight
Before you break down
Before you break down and take it all in your stride
A life lost, and the fall of an empire


11. ATLANTIC

This is not who I am, I’m still hiding
I’m waiting in my own reflection
Hands shaking with anxiety
Heart beating out of time

Only I can hear my breath at night
This is not who I was hoping to become
This shell of a man
This dark exterior given to
Stormy moods and quiet, lonely tears
This is not who I was hoping to become
This shell of a man (My Hands are shaking with anxiety)
This dark exterior…

Only I can hear my breath at night
This is not who I was hoping to become
This shell of a man
This dark exterior given to
Stormy moods and quiet, lonely tears

Steal this night from me
Take it and make it your own

These are not the nights I wish for
These nights are cold and unrelenting
These nights are depressing
These nights bring knives
So as they can carve themselves into my memory
Leave me here alone
Kill the breeze on your way out
And let me ferment in my own self-pity
Let me ferment, let me ferment in my own self-pity

These are not the nights I wish for
These nights are cold and unrelenting
These nights are depressing
These nights bring knives
These nights bring knives

Leave me here alone…
Leave me here alone…

Kill the breeze on your way out
And let me ferment in my own self-pity


12. BLACK AND COLLAPSED

Not a word, not hello
Nor how are you, nothing
No response, I’ve been eradicated
I’ve been erased, and now…
Whispers would sound like screams at
This point in time

In short, I would say, I would say its over, time to go
This time I’ll try tear out the heart and cut off the limbs…
I would say, I would say
I’ve been here before and tried to drown it, this time I…

How this place became so barren and frozen in such a small period is beyond me

I thought there was warmth
I thought stupidly that this would
Farewell to everything, this world has done to me
Turns out I’m going to fit in just fine

In short, I would say, I would say its over, time to go
This world is dead to me turns out I’m going to fit in just fine
I would say, I would say its over, time to go
I’m going to cut my arms open and pull at the heartstrings-

Attached to my hands until they snap and die
That must be the way
Everything I touch falls to pieces…
Everything I love turns a blind eye

Farewell to everything, this world is dead to me
Turns out I’m going to fit in just fine
I’m going to cut my arms open and pull at the heartstrings attached to my hands
Until they snap and die
That must be the way
Everything I touch falls to pieces
Everything I love turns a blind eye

I…Hate this place I’m in and I…
I only wanted to love…
But it is not enough…

I hate this place I’m in and I only wanted to love but it is not enough…


13. PROMETHEUS

Undeserving…this morning will take my arms and wrap them twice
And steal every tear from my, from my eyes

This morning will take my arms
And wrap them twice around my body
And steal every tear from
Every tear from my eyes

This morning will take my arms and wrap them twice
And steal every tear from my, from my eyes

Undeserving of these arms…
Undeserving of your embrace…
This morning will go down
As one of the worst, in the cold comfort of my room

This night is young
Even though the stars have followed their paths
Across the night across the night sky
This night has warmed my heart

This night is young
Even though the stars have followed their paths across the night sky
This night has warmed my heart
And now as my lips are still burning hot from your touch
I close my eyes in anticipation of the dreams
That are sure to follow your departure
This night and every other belong to you…
They belong to you

I close my eyes…this morning will take my arms and wrap them twice
And steal every tear from my, from my eyes
This morning will take my arms and wrap them twice
And steal every tear from my, from my eyes


14. A SLEEPLESS WINTER

I awaken from this cold sweat, saturated in my own contempt
Nothing left but broken fragments of cherished memories once spent
I’ve screamed blue murder in futility and smashed up walls
to bleed this pain away but I can’t escape from this disarray

Incidentally I’ve already seen the worst of this and I,
I can’t deny this pain inside nowhere to hide (from dusk ‘til dawn)
A sleepless winter in between tragic tales of broken glass
I’ll bathe my scars in cyanide; I won’t be coming back this time

These sleepless nights are killing me
What awaits me in my decrepit dream
Aversion and despondency (scarification, monotonously)
I’ve screamed blue murder in futility
and smashed up walls to bleed this pain away
But I can’t escape from this disarray

Incidentally I’ve already seen the worst of this and I,
I can’t deny this pain inside nowhere to hide (from dusk ‘til dawn)
A sleepless winter in between tragic tales of broken glass
I’ll bathe my scars in cyanide; I won’t be coming back this time

Release me from this nightmare

Incidentally I’ve already seen the worst of this and I,
I can’t deny this pain inside nowhere to hide (from dusk ‘til dawn)
A sleepless winter in between tragic tales of broken glass
I’ll bathe my scars in cyanide; I won’t be coming back this time
I won’t be coming back this time (coming back this time)


15. ASPHALT ABRASIONS

We will see who got my ???
Listen to the silence of the night
Hope and desperation, An answer to a bleeding constellation
Start for the blow
Apologies reacting to a stabbing of guilt
A stabbing of guilt
A stabbing of guilt
A stabbing of guilt
Let me fall into the darkness of
I will never die
Hear my voice, burn out loud, salt my wounds, black my eyes

I will stay and return the other most
Return the other most
Hear my voice, burn out loud, salt my wounds, black my eyes. x2
Hear my voice, burn out loud
We're burning asphalt, black as my scars
We can't feel like dying now, and every breath is desolate
Moreover, say with a great ???
It pours heavy as it, heavy as it grows
You're feet can't break
I could do ???
On my skin
Apologies are a reaction to a stabbing of guilt
From this, Won't break ?? x2
And I will be remebered
Cross my heart
Let me fall into the darkness of
I will never die
Hear my voice, burn out loud, salt my wounds, black my eyes
I will stay and return the othermost
Return the othermost
Hear my voice, burn out loud, salt my wounds, black my eyes
???
Hope and desperation
Fear of constellation
?
From these wounds, brings tears of joy
Tonight will be remembered
Let me fall into the darkness of
I will never die
Hear my voice, burn out loud, salt my wounds, black my eyes
I will stay and return the othermost
Return the othermost!


16. SLIT THE TEAR DUCTS

burn these bodies, discard these broken hearts
tomorrow lets make an oath to never
be rid of this austerity.
slit the tear ducts and bleed them dry.

there was a call for you to approach the end,
embrace the sadness.
so start the car but don't go anywhere,
you'll hate wherever you end up.

believe me,
these wounds won't heal,
take thoughts from within your mind,
these wounds won't, they won't heal at all...

burn these bodies, discard these broken hearts
tomorrow lets make an oath to never
be rid of austerity,
so slit the tear ducts and bleed them dry.

kill the pulse doctor, electrocute the patient,
his actions rendered me mute.
believe me, these wounds won't heal...
now I can see photographs departing in smoke stacks sending signs of relief,
now departing, in smoke stacks sending signs of relief,

burn these bodies, discard these broken hearts
tomorrow lets make an oath to never
be rid of austerity,
so slit the tear ducts and bleed them dry.
