Cold 03:26
How many times did you run to the hills To conceal your sins behind the mist You try and hide But sometimes things shine bright When they're kept in the dark. You left me waiting Shivers and smoke were blinding me All I could do was clinch at a father's last breath Why wait? Just end the man, now. It's not like his world has never done it, before... So crow your eyes old ones. Your lonely lips pressed on lonely tumblers. Keep your hearts on ice And your eyes wide shut. To be the son who never turned his back. Still singing on the edge of highways. You left me here to give us comfort. Just come back home and share our pain. Why wait? Just tell me why wait? I'm still waiting to tell you (waiting) I'm still waiting to tell you that I'm not alone.

Backlash 04:19
Throw a suit on, Waking in the ice, to waste my breath for bread. Imma trim the fat And cut you off Watch your soul weep and starve. Tongues that whip like vipers Poison veiled in lines and lines Your mind's all cracked and dried (cracked and dried) False prophets, you're a waking cadaver Just lying and basking in shades Basking in shades. Just colour me a fool, just colour. (I'm not you) Just colour me, colour me a fool. Let the wives weep at the father who suffers. On silver and copper (silver and copper) Addiction and lovers he'll loathe them. Just fucking starve A home built on crumbs. Just kicked to the ground. Using stained paper as a gauge. We're all kicked to the ground from the days we burn. If it were, if it were the only way to keep warm (to keep warm) I would stay here forever So rest, rest on the ashes The past won't give you anything The past won't give...

Ukufa 03:23
We're all fucking cowards We shine in bitterness To keep our hollow hearts Wishing for an end How we love to keep warm In our empty words I would rather just sit in silence Than lie awake with your hands around my neck Let the still-souls just whisper 'good night'. Said I'm out of words to say But apathy tastes just like heaven When we pull the wool And hide our sins Only to preach a sermon which misses the point. Who can hate the man Who stokes the fires of truth Who burns by the flames And lives, and lives by the light. Stand cold in silence We just love to keep warm in our words Stand cold in silence An honest liar never calls for home Rescind, rebuild This ain't the world I was born in (I was born in) Rescind, rebuild This is not my home. I'm just making excuses How can I pen pain against my fellow man? Stoke the fires.

Scarab 03:24
We were safely on our way Minds set, but never prepared Hurting to describe the day when you gave into fear Why did I put so much in? Just for my shadows, my shadows to take over. I'm not holding onto it. You gave me blood and life. For that, For that, I owe you everything (Oh, home) All seconds that we've lost, to hold ourselves to the pain. I walked alone in my mind, the pain of knowing, the time when we cut ourselves from him... I would've given everything, to live in better days (the wish of a hopeless boy) and in the end we say goodbye after all that's said and done. Rest easy Remember when you Gave into fear Reast easy Remember the day Remember the day

Ghost 02:22
Living in an Empty City Thrive on beauty Beneath the heart we wallow With our names walking on our palms (walking on our palms) While we seek ways To starve the mind and feed the ego (feed the ego) (Starve the mind) Let's all drown in our own dark ways (Starve the mind) You're gonna fucking drown You're gonna fucking drown Just a ghost in the flash Blinded yet walking (Where did we lose our way?) Crushed in our own names And cut by our mirrors In a world That's more dead Than your footsteps
