Retribution
03:32
|

You better sleep with one eye open
You better double check your doors
I'll be waiting for the moment
Your last breath, before the worst
You're already dead
Life has fleeted
Dead man walking, time is ticking
Further downwards you ever dwell
Although a victor against death
You are still getting sent to hell
You're already dead
(You just don't know it)
Life has fleeted
(You've lost your spirit) x2
We're all guided by ghosts of our future
We're all haunted by ghosts of our past x2

Heartburn

Where souls go to die
Preserving life
You shouldn't mess with any cadaver
(My art is burning)
If that's indeed what you've sought after
(My art is burning)
What have done?
Self-coercion
You shouldn't mess with any cadaver
(My art is burning)
If that's indeed what you've sought after
(My art is burning)
I never know what I really want
(My heart is hurting)
Never satisfied with what I've got
And I'll always be wanting more
Set fire to my withered corpse
(My heart is hurting)
My heart is hurting
(My heart is hurting)
My art is burning
(My art is burning)

Crywolfe

I've cried wolf one too many times
Now no one will believe me and my supposed lies
I never really meant to demoralize
But they sought otherwise through my many cries
Something on your mind, cause I think I could tell
Nevermind that, such pittance to dwell
I've cried wolf one too many times
Now no one will believe me and my supposed lies
None will ever believe me
(And it hurts)
None will ever believe me
I swear on my father and mother but none will believe me
(And it hurts)
Self-doubting now, I have now accepted their reality
One day that big bad wolf will come
Metaphorically speaking and its sharp claws
I gave up on trying, no use for a plea
But it doesn't matter now because none will believe me
And it hurts
Why take me for granted?
Why ever take me
For granted?
This escalation of an accusation thought to be falsification
Humilation
It hurts
Because I've managed to hear something through the grapevine
And it hurts me
And it hurts
But I'm starting to believe what they see in me
Too focused on the problems and what not the criticize
Maybe you shouldn't ever trust the man who cries wolf
Maybe you shouldn't trust the man who cries one too many times
Why ever take
Why ever take me
For granted?

Moments In Ice
04:00
|
|||
There you feel it leave tonight.
The rush of blood hits and you're still alright.
That's when you feel your skin like ice.
That's when the words burn cold in your eyes.
It makes you wonder...
How can you make things right?
That's when you melt like ice.
It's cold in the moment, but you're fine.
A feeling of regret in the air
That's when you feel your skin like ice
That's when the words burn cold in your eyes
It makes you wonder...
How can you make things right?
That's when you melt like ice.

Omen Of Umbra
04:04
|
|||
A superstitious man, at heart
Farcical world, controlled black art
What was sent by the harbinger
Cautiously play, I've got some nerve
Pandora's box, can't let go
Respect the signs from cards of tarot
I have a sinking thought that this won't be the last time
Disincline
Whoever you're reaching, let's hope they take that call
And if you don't hear back
Well there'd be
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
It was too much for my frivoulous mind
I should have walked on in going blind
This was not what I bargained for
And there will be no encore
Codicil, the raven's caw
Before my death, sends the umbra
I have a sinking thought that this will be the last time
Disincline
You better hope they take that call
And if you don't hear back
Well there'd be
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
No —

Conjurer
04:53
|
|||
Last night, I sat at my table, pen and paper in hand
Thinking of you, turning my words into songs
But nothing comes out, nothing ever does
Which ironically shows how little I feel
She really brought the worst out of me
No excuse
She's a conjurer
Maybe I always had darkness hidden beneath
And without her magic
It was unknown to see
Conjurer
She's a conjurer
She's a conjurer
She's a conjurer
She's a horrible woman
With a horrible taste
Or am I the horrible man
With the horrible taste
What a horrible thought
Of a horrible time
Despite her great beauty
It's a horrible shame
It's a horrible shame
It's a horrible thought
I lost at the start
This battle could not be fought
A horrible woman
And a horrible man
But I'm still not sure who really was more horrible
I wasn't
No never
Ever best
With my words
To dwindle on
The times
I will always
See the worst
Stray farther from the good
And see its many faux pas
Something many understood
In the display of ingénue
Conjurer
She's a conjurer
My jezebel
Imitator
Conjurer
She's a conjurer
She's after me
I can feel her
No pointing figures
It was me all along
No excuse
We were both in the wrong
I felt like I was trapped
With my body in control
I've ran all the paths but
I've searched high and low
But trapped in weeping willow with nowhere to go
I deserve more
And she deserves best
These horrible thoughts
Can not give my mind rest
Conjurer
She's a conjurer
She's after me
I can feel her

Sunlight
03:52
|

You appear in the dawn.
The traces remain waiting for night.
Out of place... out of mind...
The spirits in view staring on you.
More and more
Days go by
Sleepless nights
Not going out tonight
I'll tell you something
Think me a coward
But I feel safer
Behind closed doors
In the light you face the worry for the day.
In the light you face a lust for the night.
What's the point of staying in
To have your anxiety well-fed
If it betakes me, an empty shell
Then it was all for nothing
I'm better off dead
A tense vision beyond the shades.
The need to worry when you see the streets.
Who would see?
Who would care?
The joy in view always holding your nerve.
Humankind
For all to see
In its ugliest form
Revealed to me
Won't ever make
The same mistake
Were it that simple
Fear that cripples
In the light you face the worry for the day.
In the light you face a lust for the night.
What's the point of staying in
To have your anxiety well-fed
If it betakes me, an empty shell
Then it was all for nothing
And I'm better off
What's the point of staying in
To have your anxiety well-fed
If it betakes me, an empty shell
Then it was all for nothing
Then it was all for nothing
And I'm better off dead x4

Saviour

No point in saving her
Unrequited love gets lost in the void
Time to set on my way
She never meant to be saved
Here I thought
You wanted to be saved by god
A truth disguised from wrong
I regret being your guardian angel
No point in saving her
Unrequited love gets lost —
(In the void)
In my gut
(In my gut)
I should have listened to my gut
(In my heart)
Thought there was something more in that smut
(In that smut)
And I should have followed from the start
(From the start)
You god damned work of art
There's a fire
Burning in her eyes
Looked twice just to see her
And it struck me paralyzed
But I saved you from the river
But I saved you from the river
He's hounding me
I'm ostracized
I had but only one job
And I couldn't change your mind
I saved you from the river
I should have just let you drown
I saved you from the river
I should have just let you drown
I saved you from the river
I saved you from the river
(I saved you from the river)
I should have just let you drown
(I saved you from the river)
I must confess
I myself, am no angel
I'm a sham, an imposter
And I feel I've let you down
It was never your fault
Don't be too hard on yourself
I never could have saved you
When I couldn't save myself
