Do we fear
Do we fear this enough
Do we fear
Do we fear this enough
Do we fear this enough
To stop the cycle
Heed the behemoth
While it takes from us
It’s all your fault
You don’t do enough
The monster lies to us
While it spreads it’s rust
And we let them
Let them shovel their shit
We are well conditioned
To just take the hits
Don’t waste, consume
Don’t waste, consume
Don’t waste, consume
Don’t waste, consume
Was there anyone on Venus?
Do you think they could see us?
And warn us not to follow their example?
Follow their example
Burn the things we love
Follow their example
Toxins out in droves
Follow their example
Pushed from our homes
Follow their example
Choke on this gas
Follow their example
Look behind the mask
Follow their example
In the fire we bask
World ending dust storms
Swallow cities whole
Wildfires, rolling thunder
This is not a home
Self fulfilling prophecy
Heed the piper’s call
Rage against the dying light
This was once our home
I fear that it is too late
Writing appears on the wall
I know we’d ignore their outcome
Our hubris is shameless
Any warning is worthless
Our hubris is shameless
Choke the air we breathe
Our hubris is shameless
We’re not blind, we see
Our hubris is shameless
We gave up our home
Our hubris is shameless
Lifeless as a stone
Our hubris is shameless
Green no longer shows
Our hubris is shameless
We have burned our home
Apocalyptic rising tides
Kill the shores we know
Desolation, lifeless forests
We have killed our home
Radiation, unprotected
Melts the flesh from bone
There’s no way back
We killed the system
Firestorms have taken our home
I know that it is too late
Writing is burned on the wall
End the world
End the world
End the world
Just know that this is all of our faults
End the world
End the world
End the world
Pretend that this isn’t our fault
Here we stand
In the dust of ruins
Closed our eyes
Look what we have to live in
Took the ride
Oh what could we have be doing
Just know that this is all of our faults
Botched the rescue
While they made their billions
Death on the scale
Of at least a trillion
Consequences
Laid out for centuries
Just know that this is all of our faults

Lost Places
05:23
|

Here you are
Once again
You find your head
Above the clouds
And you’re reminded
That life doesn’t end
It just slows down
And it can be living hell
To keep your feet firm on the ground
From day to day to day
It’s easy to give up and stay
Rooted in your thoughts
No chance of amnesty
But then a second lingers on
And on and on and on
At peace within yourself
As you dust off the shelf
In the back of your mind
In the place you couldn’t find
Let warmth shine through
Chorus:
Oh turn your face to the sun
And reminisce on battles won
A survivor lost at sea
But this is not what you were meant to be
A war lingers on
Whispers of a battle song
A single note rings out
Resonates beyond a doubt
An echo in your mind
Of a peace that you’ve been trying to find
A place of sweet reprieve
A place to just exist and be free
Verse 2:
Here you’re found
By the light
It shines and
Brings you back to life
Even for a moment it
Makes colors seem brighter
Sensations seem stronger
It seems to lift a giant weight off of your shoulders
An illusion manifests
And rings and rings and rings
No sense of permanence
And yet there never is
Enjoy it while it lasts
And laugh and laugh and laugh
A monster sleeps inside
But it’s battered by the tides
In the back of your mind
In the place you’ll someday find
Let light shine through
Chorus:
Oh turn your face to the sun
And reminisce on battles won
A survivor lost at sea
But this is not what you were meant to be
A war lingers on
Whispers of a battle song
A single note rings out
Resonates beyond a doubt
An echo in your mind
Of a peace that you’ve been trying to find
A place of sweet reprieve
A place to just exist and be free
Chorus:
Oh turn your face to the sun
And reminisce on battles won
A survivor lost at sea
But this is not what you were meant to be
A war lingers on
Whispers of a battle song
A single note rings out
Resonates beyond a doubt
An echo in your mind
Of a peace that you’ve been trying to find
A place of sweet reprieve
A place to just exist and be free
Bridge:
Here you are
Hand upon the window pane
You look to the sun
Feel it’s warm touch on your face
You look around you
See the people surround you
Your family and friends are all here to guide you
Chorus:
Oh turn your face to the sun
And reminisce on battles won
A survivor lost at sea
But this is not what you were meant to be
A war lingers on
Whispers of a battle song
A single note rings out
Resonates beyond a doubt
An echo in your mind
Of a peace that you’ve been trying to find
A place of sweet reprieve
A place to just exist and be free

Smell of Sugar

t comes creeping in with the smell of sugar
Please little ones don’t let it get closer
I will keep you safe as long as I am able
Give you all my strength, leave it all on the table
Time speeds up
Don’t succumb
Why so fast
Please just last
And I know that
this isn’t forever
The world creeps in
and steals what I treasure
Growing up
Getting older I endeavor
To keep that innocence alive forever
Please
Slow
Down
Time
The world is a scary place to live
I just want to keep you safe from it
Keep you free from harm and injury
Under my watchful eye, I wish
you’d always be
I know you’ll grow and I’m here for it
And I don’t want to miss a single bit
See you grow old and have your own lives
It’s happening so fast I can’t believe my eyes
If I could keep you little forever I would
But I know that is not fair to you
Trust your judgement with each passing day
Independence is something that you have gained
Life is beautiful and you’ll get to see it
You’ll be my babies, even when your tall
It’s the hardest pill I have to swallow
I’ll be letting you go someday, I know
Live your lives and make your own mistakes
Life is just a game of give and take
If I could keep you little I would
But I know that is not fair to you
Come with me my children
You’ll always have a home in me

I’m going out of my mind
And I don’t know what is right
They said that when I became a father
I’d figure it out
We’ll I haven’t
Figured it out
I’m still just confused
All that I know is I’d do
Anything for you
Anything for you
For you
Anything for you
Break
Me
In
Two
I’ll break me into pieces
For the two of you

Angel

Here we stand
On the edge of a precipice
We’re about to fall
And we think they’ll save us
They don’t care
We’re just a bottom line
A number in the machine
That only grinds
Rising hatred
Rising anger
This failed system
Cannot sustain us
Rising(rep)
Chorus:
An angel won’t save us
They exist to enslave us
They outright fucking hate us
A false messiah
A social pariah
One cannot exist
Without the other
Oh
Verse 2:
He takes the stand
An old man at a liars pulpit
Spin the yarn
Pretending to be a fucking prophet
Tongues of silver
And we buy the masquerade
They’re laughing on high
As we slowly snuff and die
Rising hatred
Rising anger
This failed system
Cannot sustain us
Rising(rep)
Chorus:
An angel won’t save us
They exist to enslave us
They outright fucking hate us
A false messiah
A social pariah
One cannot exist
Without the other
Oh
Bridge:
The dream is a fucking lie
You’ll never kiss the sky
So flap your wings to fail
And rain down hell like hail
A system set to fail
There is no holy grail
This scraping for existence
This is our scarce subsistence
Offer little resistance
Terrified of persistence
Living dead one and all
Conditioned to love the fall
I’d choose violence
I’d choose violence
Maximum violence
If we’d all choose violence
Maybe things would change
Chorus:
An angel won’t save us
They exist to enslave us
They outright fucking hate us
A false messiah
A social pariah
One cannot exist
Without the other
Oh

Possesion

Mouth of sin
Pulled back in a toothless grin
Stares on with jet black eyes
It just wants you to die
Built for war
Have you been keeping score?
Somebody make this right
But no one wins tonight
Fucking pray for
Someone to save the day
It says ‘just repent’
But its not heaven sent
Gaze so cold
Peels back your broken soul
Give up the will to fight
Please god end it tonight
Run, run, run away
But there’s no running from this fate
You did it yourself, damn to hell
Now there’s only consequences
We regret to inform you
He let the demon in
There was no sign of struggle
He let that monster win
It clawed into his veins
It tore into his mind
There was no way to mistake
The terror in his eyes
What kind of god
Makes such tortures for his creations
Allows them to know such torment
Prisons in their consciousness
And an astounding lack of selflessness
Little if any realized awareness
And absolutely no free kindness
Pray to a god to win this fight
Please somebody make this right
You did it to yourself, there’s no one else
Is this an unseen side of hell?
You invited it in, it played to win
The things it told makes blood run cold
You did it to yourself, there’s no one else
Now there’s only consequences

We've Woken the Hive!

Great unstable mass of flesh and foam
Sent here to defile this throne
You must try with all your might
To make it through this blackest night
Here me out
We can’t win
This is penance
For our sins
They are coming
Slipped right in
Fuck
Hear me out
We can’t win
We just let them
All right in
They are coming
Slipped right in
Damn
Hear me out
We can’t win
They are all
Already in
They are here
Slipped right in
Oh no
Over
Before it began
We honestly never stood a chance
See them
How fast can you run?
Cuz they run faster than your gun
See them now
They have won
Nobody even pulled their gun
We are theirs
Bow to them
Fuck
Look up now
Burning sun
Seems this battle isn’t won
We are theirs
But not for long
Yes
See it now
See them run
It shines brighter than the sun
We were theirs
But not anymore
Oh yeah
Over
Before it began
They honestly never stood a chance
See them
How fast can they run?
They can’t outrun a thousand Suns

Mirrors & Fragments
04:27

Wake up
Stand up
Throw up
Are you happy with yourself?
New day
Same shit
Repeat
Are you happy with yourself?
Punch the mirror
So I don’t have to see
All these
Fragments of myself
Punch the mirror
So I don’t have to
See myself
Cut my hand
And just stare at the blood
Because it
Makes me feel alive
Cut my hand
Just stare at the blood
Because it makes me feel something
It’s 5pm and I’m feeling good
Now it’s 9pm and the feeling fades
Now it’s 12am and I’m just
I’m just fucking sad
Now it’s 3am and I’m walking home
Now it’s 5am and I’m on my phone
Now it’s 9am and I’m just
I’m just fucking sad
Buck up
Look up
Be tough
Only you can break the cycle
Good day
New shit
Happy?
It just seems like nobody knows
Fix the mirror
So I don’t have to pick
Up these
Fragments of myself
Fix the mirror
So I don’t have to
Pick up myself
Wrap my hand
The blood makes me
Sick to my
Stomach and I fall down
Wrap my hand
The blood makes me
Sick to my
Fucking stomach
