Reign 04:35
Running through my dreams You footsteps making sweet tremors Resonance to drown the cries Will you ever leave from my mind Your smile behind my eyes A blanket for the darkened soul that You left on the edge of your fingers And I thought Love would hide my sins and Cover me up Closed blinds to hide the man you feared Now I let the pain and all it takes to reign over you and me Across an ocean on lines so broken You beg for what I bleed so well How dare you wish for arms That never truly held you Your cries are hollow Your fear is meek Your cries are hollow And I am dead to you In a perfect life I would've believed every word that left my lips Poor words chosen in blackened times Should've sewn my heart's mouth shut Drowning in chaos and tepid lights How we dance in littered streets What does it mean to think of anything When past pages are a lie? It's all a lie We loved as sinners But died as lovers They all knew that there was no escape for us No escape But I'd live it again just to see you break I'd live it all again just to see you break with me And I'd hold you in my arms just to wither away in the end In the end The end of it all Wither away in my arms Let the pain reign over again At the end At the end of it all Wither away with me Wither away

Panda Eyes 03:15
We're all lost Broken one How your name's been laying on the tip of my tongue In the dark of my mind On your back like carrion Waiting for the vultures And the morn to calm With the heart and the harm Dressed in doubt Leave naked in the mind My hands on your everdead dreams Watch your eyes dance at the strings that pull you under. And in the end We're all lost Bring the light Sweet blindness, I won't let you down Standing in their glances living like a coward I know that there is an end And even with your heart I beg Just let me know that I can find A siren call for bitter ends Ring Let it ring Stare you down Screams as whispers Dead in love A silent rain I know that there is an end But I will stay in better days Bury me under Forget my name Remember what it's like to want Your everdead dreams Let love keep you safe Stay low in the end In the wounds we leave I am alive But dead in your eyes

Still Life 03:20
Are you there Or am I screaming at a ghost Am I dead Or dead-living in this cold world Is there time for me to give Or only seconds left To bury me Blame it all on me Cos I can't stand the thought of you falling Dine on wander Bed on lust Make me your fool again But leave me with my name Oh, Lord of Poisoned Memory How I regret it all Mother Swallow Sweet Mother Swallow How I beg to go home Beggar Static Life You know it's touch but you're not alone But still, even after all, you're laid bare and left to wander Static Life You know it's chill (you praise our sin) And even then you live like a ghost Are you there? Or am I begging at nothing? Are you there? Are you dead?

Gutter Inc. 03:39
Pain I am on this night  And I ain't slowing down  Giving into everything  Is not as sweet as it sounds  Dancing in colours  What you name blind, I name it better  Dancing in colours  Come find me in the gutter tonight  Come find me in the night  Come find me in the night  Pinch, prick, sin  Take a hit to forget  Dead cold weight  In the depths of it  You lay alone  But not this time  You're deep in unknown  Though you hide in the corners, I wait in the background  Let the curtain fall  See the hell  It's been there all along  Deadweight

Glare 04:15
I’m always there I’m always there There with you Through the darkness I am always there with you I am always there Now and forever In your darkest hour I gave you life, I gave you light But still you let me die that day And in our sweetest failures We held on tight, we held on tight But still I watched you fade away And if I knew back then what I know right now I would’ve burned the bridge I built But I’ll be the better man and take my bow To walk away and find my soul And if I knew back then what I know right now Would I have these demons in my head On and on I crawl on blind But this is not the end This is not the end Bury me Deep in your thoughts Bury me So your dreams I may haunt Bury me Deep in your heart Bury me In the glare I am yours I will always be there I will always be there with you And I know this is the hardest part

No Captain 03:21
Resting in the sun Warped wood above these troubled waters I lay waiting for the dusk And let the coming night chill my bones Drown out thoughts of troubled homes Ahead of sails, my arms stretched out Onto the heavens And I won’t hold back Hold back from sinking you I won’t hold back And now I’m drowning with sirens In the waves we dance and turn to face the depths Their weight crushes me and I’m breathless in the end Though I sink forevermore into the swells My ocean floor is not of dark It is my home It is my home and I won’t waste a fucking second I will roll the tides and sink you down with me And I won’t hold back In sinking you with pain And in the waste Drowning with the sirens And I won’t hold back Just let them come and chill my bones And I, No I won’t hold back We are sinking ever under Learn, feel the waves We face the depths Can you the feel weight? Though I sink into forevermore The weight crushes me I am breathless in the end The ocean floor is not of dark It’s of home And I dance in the depth
7.
Sitting on the end of my mind Thinking back to days When you were everything and ever part of me Call me hopeless Name me a fool Paint me broken But know I still hold onto you Sixteen days I walked past spaces Burning with your ghost Their hands of ether Reaching out Still searching for my shame And it’s sixteen days of catching myself Falling out reason In these fields I lie Of the hell I sowed Thinking of the day when I lost you I am gone Don’t make me beg Just crucify me I am lost Don’t wonder what I am Don’t yearn for what is left Sweet Narka
8.
Lay your head and close your eyes Rest on the bedrock and listen Cold as silence these words we dine on I’m not everglow We are taken on winds in temper To and fro In a void of blackened air Across a world with no anchor We carve an image of hopelessness Carried forth and carried far Ash scattered (just scattered) Endless cold I fucking wish [it] was made of stone I lay like bricks (in the dead of night) I lie content (in the ice of life) Hopelessness carry me in a wind beneath my colourless shades, alone Just tastes it breath and its cold I fucking wish [it] was made of stone Close your eyes We’re all false gods in the sheets Waster be on your way
9.
Why do you hide like a coward? So in shadows you can pull me in What’s the fucking difference now There’s nothing left for you to feed on So starve with the rest Don’t preach of better days or I will show you the threadbare Time is just a bitch with a rope And I would rather let her strangle my hours than waste them with you We are the children of empty souls Fucking lifeless from the day we were born We are the children of vapid shadows Fucking heartless Mendacious weeper Your cries heart’s heresy Sweet subtle sinner This heart is yours no more Run, you coward
10.
Let the sickness sink in Deeper and deeper Into a violent slumber Let the past hide your sins Cheat angels in taking a festered heart Let the sickness sink in Stronger and stronger Till you lose your grip Let the past hide your sins and drown out the bitter slow of death You’re a fool to think You’re a fool to think you’ll make it out alive Cos we are all Cos we are all Dead men walking yet never moving Whisperer Do you know your sins? There is no hiding out this time Oh, wanderer Do you know where you have been? That boy from the hill you know has got nowhere else to go I’ve been a fool I’ve been a fool To fight the bitter slow On the otherside of pain I know I’ll find, I’ll find my own in this And even though you burned your name in the back of my head I’m still moving forward I’m moving on Till we mourn I hope you know I lived your pain I made it out to the otherside Still waiting to see your face Till we mourn Do you know I feel your pain? But I’m still waiting here Shamed and broken Longing to know if you’re still okay.
