On The Quiet 02:06
You're a star A true light in the darkness The fire of passion The spikes of envy You're a mystery in a silent movie You're the death in a romance An agelong predator in the infinite sea An everyday disappointment You're nothing... like the rest of us The fake image of yourself shines The fake image of yourself shines While the real you crumbles on the quiet While the real you crumbles on the quiet

Body flies over soul Body aches and overflows Couldn't find Couldn't hear You were drifting out at sea May the water give you peace May you come back May you never sink What is ours? What is lost? Who's to blame now? Battle won? I don't hate you anymore I just hope that you return I'm a junkie in the sun I'm an orphan, a renegade god When the tide will fall we'll recover everything Not to grieve or mourn but to hide inside our sleeves Can't you understand? None is lost, not you, not me Just our hopeless cause and our dreams in agony Nowhere, none and forever I don't mind Faces in the material world never smile A monument of carnivores All in time Will vanish into oblivion All in time All in time All in time All in time Fucking sharks (fucking heart) They don't sleep (stubborn pulse) Always waiting (memories) Out at sea (I can't ignore) I'm a junkie in the sun, I'm an orphan I'm the equal of my wrongs, A forgotten, degenerate god

I wanted to know why the dogs always bark around you I wanted to know why you darken and cover your eyes A rickety bar plays some moody old sixties hit-song But no one will dance along and no one will sing It must be all fake I must be imagining things Am I out of bed? Woke up in a gore fantasy Or did I just blink? I wanted to know why you dress in the latest fashion to help you forget that you really are dead to us all? I wanted to know just how you're able to recognize me Is something left deep inside of your beating heart? Is there? It must be all fake I must be imagining things Am I out of bed? Woke up in a gore fantasy Hands over your eyes before the next innocent bite you hate and despise but then again you shouldn't mind Cause nobody does and nobody tries It's how we evolved to fungus from mice Wait, did you cover your eyes? Just wait, you should really stop crying It's strange how you cover your eyes It's strange for a zombie to cry

Ages Since 02:52
I hold on as I promised you and I buried all the ghosts of truth But the rain goes and uncovers them It's all over It's all over “What are you waiting on? Someone else to show you that it's been ages since you could appreciate what your hands could hold?” “There's nothing wrong There's nothing wrong” And I fall back as you knew I would and I reach out where there's no one to It's a false sun It's a backwards sky It's a memory of an unconscious mind It's a whirlwind In an empty room It's a drainage Of an empty womb Could it reach you When I need it the most? Could it reach you? Could it reach you? “What are you waiting on? Someone else to show you that it's been ages since you could appreciate what your hands could hold?” “Go back to your empty room Sleep tight in an empty womb Burn out in a backwards sky There's nothing wrong”
5.
The Bipolar 04:52
Have I led you astray? Ever held your tongue? In the shadow of us You must learn how to walk on your own In the blank of the world We will add our thoughts “Was it worth all the pain? Does something ever fill the void that remains?” Despite all my faults and my impotence I carried your cross, Digested the spikes and I felt it all begin to dissolve Should I crawl back to bed? Should I start making sense? What if everything's just an unpleasant dream? If I were to wake up would I choose to just go back to sleep? 'Cause we like to repeat the mistakes we make Tiny heart, words obese and a pet snake to match our instincts Despite all my faults and my impotence I carried your cross, Digested the spikes and I felt it all begin to dissolve You should crawl back to bed Until you start making sense Have I lost you in this muddy sea? Is the barrel looking back at me? Have I said much i can't take back? Have I lost you once and for all throughout the times? Should I start making sense now?

Silent, you abide by the shades you chose to see and so I begin to redefine your colors Are you still the same? Have you forgotten everything? Is burying your head the answer to your ill, infected posture? I'm hanging from a thread Sore, bitter end for your lone desire Time to close down and avoid the sun We lost our years growling over this Neutral black... Still here? I thought that I was overstating things The ghost face, the kind words that we're only left with For you to ignore, For me to incinerate Forget my dire attention to detail it's unbecoming Why don't I ever learn? Sore, bitter end for your lone desire Time to close down and avoid the sun We lost our years growling over this Neutral bleak... Come quick, push the knife closer to the bone We died long before you lost all control Why don't you ever learn? Sometime We were… Sore, bitter end for your lone desire Time to close down and avoid the sun We lost our years growling over this Neutral black... Neutral bleak... Neutral Black Comedy

Will you be there when the pill starts working? Will you be there for the side effects? It's so easy to unleash the monster It's so easy to forget it all Another endless day Another word you bury I wouldn't understand it anyway Is everything a hoax? Is that all you can say? Is that really all you are? A human being? All the time we spent in your disaster All the drinks we puked onto your floor It's a prison in your sleep forever and all the nightmares couldn't wake us up It's safe for you to crave another disappointment another empty wish into the sea And fair for me to ask: Is this a rule to live by? Is this what a human being does? If you keep sinking I will never save you
8.
It takes a toll on everything and everyone and gives permission to safely fall into denial A golden prize is kept inside the darkest room and patiently waits for the one who'll be left standing (Left standing) “We love the queen of queens and we live in her dreamhouse Watching the falling stars We get hungry (So hungry) “You shouldn't think so hard You shouldn't try to reason Is it the biggest crime? Or just the simple truth? I am a breeding colony A guinea pig so hungry I am the boy you guided here I am the last one standing Whatever you want Whatever the price is Just let me believe I'm real Inside of my home Inside of my outfit Just let me reside here I am a product You keep me updated Just let me be needed Just let me believe I'm loved
9.
A night alone after a kill is worth a bottle and a breeze The illusion of sanity I fall to sleep, I redirect I tend to easily forget the sacrifices on my feet In safety of what I know and what I don't I choose my audience in a search for mates I find my pack I follow through I tend to easily approve the sacrifices on my feet And I move on... I earn, I win, I deserve Plastic fish, plastic teeth, plastic body bags I love, I own, I civilize Nevermind the voices Nevermind their screams: Is my back a mattress? Is there a mark for you to shoot? I hate the way you kill me by building castles on my wounds We are rebuilding We keep our heads above water We are surviving Until you show us how to live All we say, All we do and all we could, if we would Shadows of our best intentions
10.
Let's drink to the face you hide, to the place you hold for the ones you kill Shine brighter every night choose the first to go into your whirlpool ride And if there's nowhere else to go then this must be home A hole in your burning chest swallows all the light into nothingness Is there A singularity? Should we long for hope down this empty pit? But you can't keep everything Some things must be returned And eventually you'll grow old and small and when you do we'll meet again On new terms We'll meet again Shine on the next to go Suck another one into your black hole Into your black hole... (Falling)
