1. CONGREGATION

The sky fell to the earth.
I watched it, silently.
I bridged my teeth with the lack of excitement.
It was the start of something. Anything.
And I knew it was over.
In that moment my life became irrelevant.
I quenched my fists. I bit the bullet.
I swallowed my pride. I breathed in, the released.
Animalistic. Oh, the indifference!
It's coming to an end. Congregation, gather here.
It's what I'm waiting for, open doors, baby.
Congregation, shed a tear.
Is it the thought that counts and nothing else?!
Congregation, won't you bare with me?
I've lost myself on rusted shelves.
Congregation, have no fear.
Here's what I'm losing when there's nothing left to give.


2. SKY

Look in my eyes, I'm dying.
Maybe you're all wrong for me,
Maybe it's all wrong to stay here through the night.
I'm dying waiting for you.

Tell me that you love me,
Tell me it's all right,
Tell me that I'm wrong.
We're bent on leaving.

The stars in the sky, they'll be all right,
That's what we're waiting for.
The stars in the sky, they'll be all right,
They're not worth waiting for.

Look in my eyes, I'm lying
Saying you're all wrong for me,
Saying that it's wrong to stay here through the night.
I'm dying waiting for you.

Tell me that you trust me,
Tell me it's all right to push our love aside.
I'm bent on leaving.

The stars in the sky, they'll be all right,
That's what you're waiting for.
The stars in the sky, they'll be all right,
I'm not worth waiting for.

The stars in the sky, they'll be all right,
That's what you're waiting for.
The stars in the sky, they'll be all right,
I'm not worth waiting for.

Waiting for the train to arrive... (x4)

This is all you're gonna get in the end,
It's all you're gonna get now.
A rapid drop that doesn't have to seem mellow at all,
For lack of words.
It's gonna break you down.
Well, I'm quite hesitant of things that you've said.
God only knew you'd drop a match in my lap in the end.
But it's all right,
I swear I understand how spreading
Of the legs could be a pact between friends.
And now I quiver with pretentious delight,
Your mold and mildew spreading miles in sight.
One more night, my chest tight,
I grab your leg with my hand.
What we planned hit the fan.

Spread your legs one more time before I say goodbye.


3. ALL BIRDS

Well, all these words have come to nothing,
Like all my thoughts that fade away.
And every night I pray for something,
Then every day I throw it all away.
All birds sing something,
Their songs define our means,
Their songs define our lives.
Praying for something,
As I release my arrow and it pierces their eyes.
I will be alone.
Tie me down with nothing but a string,
And preach your faith in nothing...
I'll mourn for you with the passing of our time.
When will we see our shadows without light?
The time will come,
When all that's left is all our demons here to fight.
We'll all be swallowed, live and whole,
Blisters from digging our own holes.
We'll be too deep to see the light.
We'll be too lost to set things right.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Maker.
Nice to meet you, see you later!
Who never knew who?


4. THIS ISN'T WHY YOU MADE HER

You can't stay close enough to every boy you meet.
Drugs don't taste good enough...
Since then you've been clean with every little taste
Your nails broke more beneath the surface of my unsteady,
Undying trust for your smile of decay:
Beneath the unending,
Undying light of such little surprise...
I could swear I never saw it coming.
And with a moments pause he slipped right in...
When I was never there to begin with.
God, please take me home.
Here's a pretty lie.
Here's a big surprise.
Here's a nasty taste.
Here's a dying faith.
I can't breathe and I swear I'll never make this bed.
I can't breathe and I swear we're better off DEAD.
And I'm sick of redemption without revision.
And I'm sick of your eyes.
This isn't why you made her...
This isn't why you made her...


5. SOUL

I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own.
(Let them take what is left of me.)
I just need to find my soul when the lights go out.
(Am I all alone?)

I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own.
(Let them take what is left of me)
I just need to find my soul when the lights go out.
(Am I all alone?.)

Live it up, while you wait for it.
Live it up, lose a day for it.

And I know it goes without saying that the modern complexion is irrelevant here.
That the only means of air flow is brought
By the scent of your hair.
That candlelight serves better on the inside not out.
That the square engulfs the circle
Like the scream engulfs a shout.

I'm made of stone.
Medicate the unknown.
Serve me in small pieces,
So you'll never eat alone.

I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own.
(Let them take what is left of me.)
I just need to find my soul when the lights go out.
(Am I all alone?)

I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own.
(Let them take what is left of me.)
I just need to find my soul when the lights go out.
(Am I all alone?)

You hold onto a fraction
Of the pigmentation that was left behind.

Rubble, built on lies.

And I know that we were happy well before it was said.

That the involuntary motion never felt so bad.
Tasting every single notion of my writers block is just Cause and effect of staring at this clock.

Now I'm walking to the ocean looking to the sea.
Praying it will drown my sorrow with what's left of me.

Fill my lungs.. now there's nothing left to say.

I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own.
(Let them take what is left of me.)
I just need to find my soul when the lights go out.
(Am I all alone?) (x3)

I don't need to wait for somebody just to call my own.
I just need to find my soul when the lights go out.


6. BREEZE

This can't be right.
There's something inside that binds me.
Spending my nights thinking of ways...
You'll find me closer to the sun...
And I will swallow my pride,
Forget all the lies from lovers.
I know it's been said, the skirts on the bed,
Hearts flutter...
Thoughts of suicide or flowers?
It's known.
Or lips at a drop of a dime... and the end...
And the end is not worthy of fairytale rhymes,
Peace of mind,
don't be worried.
It's sad, that I had such foolish remorse
For suspicion of lacking,
For locking of doors.
Like the coat hanger swinging
By means of your clothes being torn...
Being torn.
Like I've said, it's kind of sad, you won't hold on...
A lover's bed, now dormant and deprived of meaning.
You can sneak, while the city sleeps.
Tie an anchor to my head.
You can moan, if it builds a throne
For a heart that's lined in lead.
Give it to me, give me more than...
Give me more than you know...
Give it to me, let me see you turn it to gold.
Turn it to gold.


7. LONELY

These words still remain quite the pleasant surprise.
You're bringing me lonely.
And I can't rely on the look
In your eyes for the meaning of life.
So the fact still remains, you're...
you're not looking out for me.
Like you said you would be...
Like the things that you said we could be.
With my ring wrapped around your finger,
With my heart kissing your shoe's sole.
It seems I will remain, just a man, still unchanged,
Never learning to let go.
Yes, this river of life has run dry for the night.
But that's nothing you didn't know.
I have built up this dam in the name of a plan,
Preaching "I can not learn to let go."
Oh, it won't matter... It won't matter.
It won't matter.
Lord, does it matter?! Does it matter?! Does it matter?!
Let the rain wash me clean.
Death has followed me.
I've fallen apart.
Summer never sets on me.
I would die for a night of emotion...
I would give anything for that look in your eyes.
I would gladly jump into the fire,
Scream "I am a liar"
Yes, I am a liar... And I deserve nothing.
Lord, I deserve nothing...
Not even her taste, let alone her faith in me.


8. I'M SCARED NOW

Open up your eyes and see.
We’re worlds apart but I'm still here waiting
Let go of these tendencies.
They keep us here and we have no room to breathe

Open up your eyes and see.
We’re worlds apart but I'm still here waiting
Let go of these tendencies.
They keep us here and we have no room to breathe

I find it hard to adjust to the ignorance flowing from words I keep hush.
And my head.
Well, my head, it keeps secrets, but maybe they show?”
“Oh… Well, wouldn’t you know?” That it’s gone?
But at least I found Christ, or I say that I did when it comes to these nights…

“Have I lost your morning touch?”
“Oh, Will you ever lose your faith in me?”

“Have I lost your morning touch?”
“Oh, Will you ever lose your faith in me?”
… Or is this really in your plan?

Take this burden, lay it on me.
I know this isn’t funny...
Coming down,
Nail.
Unspoken.

Take this burden, lay it on me.
Coming down,
Nail.
Unspoken.

Open up your eyes and see.
We’re worlds apart but I'm still here waiting
Let go of these tendencies.
They keep us here and we have no room to breathe

Open up your eyes and see.
We’re worlds apart but I'm still here waiting
Let go of these tendencies.
They keep us here and we have no room to breathe

I’ll scale the mountains and I’ll sail the sea, (just searching for you…)
And if I find nothing, where’s that leave me?
I’ll scale the mountains and I’ll sail the sea, (just searching for you…
But what if I drown or I fall down a slope, should I pack for a life on my knees?)

Waste your time on self pity…
Take your time when you’re digging your hole…
Take your time, like its on your side,
but you’re always just waiting to go.

Waste your time on self pity…
Take your time when you’re digging your hole…
Take your time, like its on your side,
but you’re always just waiting to go.

When will I be free?

When will I be free?

I’m sure waiting’s fun.
I’m cutting ties.
I’m living lies.
I’m just like everyone.

Open up your eyes and see.
We’re worlds apart but I'm still here waiting
Let go of these tendencies.
They keep us here and we have no room to breathe

Open up your eyes and see.
We’re worlds apart but I'm still here waiting
Let go of these tendencies.
They keep us here and we have no room to breathe
Have no room to… breathe
Have no room to…


9. SHEEP

We are young and in too deep.
Burning our bridges while we sleep
Cutting down fabrics at the seems
Strangling all our families sheep

I have given it up!
Given Enough
Given...

You know that we can't.
We can't come clean.
I saw the morning sun
Make its way through everyone

We are young and in too deep.
Burning our bridges while we sleep
Cutting down fabrics at the seems
Strangling all our families sheep

Gracefully, we dance our way to nothing
Gracefully, we're bowing out to soon
Patiently, I wait for word of something

Knowing this ego will wash what left
Of this stench that we hid with perfume

Burn, I can not breathe.
I can no Breathe

Worms, they live in me
They live in me
Worms, they live in me
They live in me

I am gouging out my eyes
I have made my bed with flies
I have burned out with my light.

We are young and in too deep.
Burning our bridges while we sleep
Cutting down fabrics at the seems
Strangling all our families sheep

We are young and in too deep.
Burning our bridges while we sleep
Cutting down fabrics at the seems
Strangling all our families sheep


10. PIECES

Sitting all alone by candle light.
Dreaming of the times we had, while I drink away the bad.
It sure beats looking in your eyes when you’re crying.
Oh, my dear... tell me you won’t let go.
Tonight, we will burn whats left of pieces

I’ll deworm your silly sense of word
I’ll search for words tonight
For words tonight.
Never again will I ignite a flame.
A flame that can’t be tamed.

Sitting all alone by candle light.
Dreaming of the times we had, while I drink away the bad.
It sure beats looking in your eyes when you’re crying.
Oh, my dear... tell me you won’t let go.
Tonight, we will burn whats left of pieces

Little girl, play in the street.
The cars will come and ruin this dream.
Tie off a knot just to call me your own...
I’ll give up my throne though that much has been known.

Smile at all costs...
Just don’t let her get away.

Sitting all alone by candle light.
Dreaming of the times we had, while I drink away the bad.
It sure beats looking in your eyes when you’re crying.
Oh, my dear... tell me you won’t let go.
Tonight, we will burn whats left of pieces

Choking, evoking. The ministers smoking...
But you didn’t hear that from me.
Soaking, Invoking... But she isn’t joking...
And all she can taste is my seed.
Stroking and croaking is not worth me cloaking
To hide from a life on my knees.
Stroking and croaking is better than soaking
In all of this sick tendencies.

I will learn to lie. You’re dreaming of a life...
A life that I can’t give.
Pieces...

Sitting all alone by candle light.
Dreaming of the times we had, while I drink away the bad.
It sure beats looking in your eyes when you’re crying.
Oh, my dear... tell me you won’t let go.
Tonight, we will burn whats left of pieces
(x2)


11. IT KILLS ME

It should come as no surprise...
The motions were not enough to mesmerize.
And all the trees, they shook for miles around, just crying out.
Tainted by the look in your eyes...
The garden is now overgrown (the seeds we’ve thrown)
I cannot stay here anymore.
The waters red for miles around, just singing out.
I’m singing out...

I feel I’m losing my faith in everything.
I feel you’ve fallen out of view.
Now, have you lost your faith in me?!
What the hell have I put myself through!?

I’m digging holes for desertion.
What else is left to do?
I’ll tell you I did it to save you the time...
But the truth’s I have nothing to do...

I’m digging holes for desertion.
What else is left to do?
I’ll tell you I did it to save you the time...
But the truth’s I have nothing to do...

It should come as no surprise...
The motions were not enough to mesmerize.
And all the trees, they shook for miles around, just crying out.
Tainted by the look in your eyes...
The garden is now overgrown (the seeds we’ve thrown)
I cannot stay here anymore.
The waters red for miles around, just singing out.
I’m singing out...

Well, Oh, Lord...
Oh, God... Or
Oh, Something?!
I broke a sweat tonight, while dreaming of you.
In the moments that I’m lacking such clarity, decency...
What the hell can I do!?
And all the trees, they will weep at the sound of your feet coming close in the night...
They’ll scream “We didn’t know what’s wrong from right!”
And I still can’t sing these words in tune.

It should come as no surprise...
The motions were not enough to mesmerize.
And all the trees,
They shook for miles around, just crying out.
Tainted by the look in your eyes...
The garden is now overgrown (the seeds we’ve thrown)
I cannot stay here anymore.
The waters red for miles around, just singing out.
I’m singing out...

Only you
Only you
Only you
Only you can save me from myself.

I wrote this beat
At the sound of your feet getting closer....
You’re getting closer, but I still remain quite unchanged
and the secrets I keep won’t redeem what’s been lost in me.

I wrote this beat at the sound
Of your feet getting closer....
You’re getting closer, but I still remain quite unchanged
And the secrets I keep won’t redeem what’s been lost in me.
And it kills me...
It really kills me.
