Color Me Frantic
02:35
|
|||
|
I don't care to be trusted
Not by the kind like you
I'm greedy and adjusted
To my own world below
I'd hate to see you jaded
By your own fallacies
I'm tired and I'm faded by
This sick chemistry for free
I can't be troubled by your
Shame and ill will
Rest in the bed you built
Color me frantic
Hardened by patience nulled
Nothing left to see you through
I feel nothing I feel fine
So worth your time
Fill in the space
You claim to possess
Fester poison deep in your chest
No more time spent
Cautionary tales say
Throw the useless ones away
I feel nothing I feel fine
Leave the ones that will be mine

Project Them Out
02:28
|

|
Bound by a likeness you will never share
I'd foremost throw you across the fucking room
Glean over truth of your own shortcomings
Project them out
Away away then coward
Scarred your mouth
Your lungs can't fill fast enough
To take it back left long in the bog
I won't forget those humid hearts
Swollen chests wrought with want
Diseased with malice
There's no room here
Air left to breathe
Pull yourself out the mire
My fleeting flame
Cut it loose

The Phoenician Sailor
02:52
|

|
Fear death by water
For it's all in the cards
Start another game of war
In the violet light the violet hour
Lidless eyes search for something new
Stop the quiet with rapping on each window
Fear death by water
Phoenician sailor fear death by water
And give up all your breath
Those are pearls in your eyes
Around these empty tables
Seated six for gray day wanderers
You passed once by the door
There's a stranger in your visage
Drowned in the lake
By a faceless fate
Mossy rocks slick and steady
Bedrock soft and suited for your
Resting place

No more fear
I know you I know you
You will never understand
The accusation worse than hands dealt
Awash in bed with a bare ceiling
And too many words tucked behind molars
Left on the street
Right down to the way
My bones are left disjointed
Hands wrenched away in scorn
Don't walk away
This imp will rue the day
It touched your life and left the burning
Fingers on your eyelids now
This pill is hard to take on both sides
The bitter trail slipping south
Churn in my guts as failure/fear
No more control
Take the control
No more fear
Fight fight fight
I know you I know you
This dark house will
Pulse with light

The Nature of Time
03:24
|
|||
|
Empty freights and charred estates
There's nothing that will bring me closer
Gripping onto senses past
And remembering nothing
How many times would you
Count the years with me mercifully?
There's nothing worse than
A clock stuck on three
Nine three
We've got something just for that now
Blood runs red
Leave me fed
We're not dead
Coming through the dark
Cities sinking vines are climbing
Hell is freezing we keep breathing
There is nothing left to do now
But go on
One time's enough time to ask them
How many years would you keep on?

The Weeping House
02:58
|
|||
|
Merely placed in green plains
Beside the creek trees run tall
A house at the end of the lane
You'll find them there
Twenty years this bargain of old
Don't you know the author?
That voice I've heard in crowds
Has come for me now
Gutting horses by moonlight
Is the terror I foresee
Primal instincts gone awry
Dig your nails in deeper
Fight or flight
Stay or go
Just say no
Sinews in your teeth
And salt on your cheeks
Keen skyward til lungs flex dry

Idlewild
03:47
|
|||
|
Open flayed I won't take back what I've given
Because of course it's just too much
Retreat
The hardest part is to retreat
You want to fight
For a reason
Wait til I spark
The match
Then it's guns out
And we're bled dry
Wait til I spark
The match
When's patience up?
When do I fill my cup?

Cimmerian Shade
02:33
|
|||
|
Rare as you are
Ruby-eyed under my skin
Lying in wait all this time
Now it's time
Throat hoarse from the screams
But I hold hypnotic
Lust knows no blasphemy
Be it thou?
You are the devil in a different skin
Clawed out black
From the belly
Of a dog
Inside out
It's the same face
Blank in gaze
Wretched intent
Why is it then so familiar?
|

Starred lashes ponds of green
Purging in cold sweats
No more daggers in your eyes
For all the space that's in between
Twisting knots tight
Knotted tendons growing strong
Ticking off the days at hand
And watch the skies above rotate
Speak now like none before
Fists clenched in ritual
Now name the constellations passed
While time rolls on its' given way
They'll listen when you stand
Upright and hands extend
I won't let bitterness come in
And pass its' judging eyes on you
Swallow your sickness
Clouds cleaved
Rugged rough on the edges
I can't help but be so bitter
These mountains sewn me in too long
Seam hemmed in tight
Release comes in flighty rainfall
Clouds cleaved in two
Breathe deep this color out of space
Fuschia red purple bled
I'm wretched I want to go home
This isle of holier than thou
Has had its' last regret
Swallow your sickness
Get out
When distances are in good fun
I don't wanna see a thing on that ribbon road
Dash after dash

Talisman
03:07
|
|||
|
Diving deeper into sleep without
The threat of unpleasantries
Halcyon face and long breaths
On an ocean heaving
What/It's a facade
That sense of safety
That rocking is the earth splitting
Water boiling moon on fire
Didn't they tell you?
It could just be you
You're not so special just a pawn
Didn't they tell you?
It could just be you
Clutch tight your talisman tonight
Watched from every shadow
Even in the day
They aren't so far behind you
Keep those legions at bay
Hide your families and your daughters
Hidden in death and in the seascape
Entities come from the outside
Building bridges to and fro
Give up the ghost
Or what you love most

Thirteen of thirteen
Die cast in the sky
Promised off long ago
Bidding done signed
Thirteen of thirteen
The truth in your line
Here's to the oath
To family Leeds
Chimera coming off the barrens
Blackened trees still water
Cloaked in the dark
White-eyed gaze
Legend writ on wood
Told of the people there
The endless there
Grin in the dark when it calls your name
But they'll believe the crowds
They'll follow all the shouts
Hallowed haunted
Say its' name
Sour ground bears the lies
Cloaked in the dark
White-eyed gaze
Hallowed haunted
Forget the eyes on your back to spinal fears
The wailing in the trees
Dogs or wyverns

Feel them close by
Just on the fringes see them
Figures in white
Voices perhaps are telling
They're shouting stories at me
If only I could
Passing more stone
Nature is taking over
Figures in white
How hard I try to hear them
How swiftly they go running
If only I could see
This place has me chained
I won't leave until the day
I forgo my mortal woes
I forgive I forget
They say they'll never forget
No not never
Chambers of stone
Stained glass is black and broken
Figures in white
Voices perhaps are telling
They're shouting stories at me
If only I could
See their last words
Names of the past and future
Figures in white
How hard I try to hear them
How swiftly they go running
If only I could see
This place has me pained
I can't leave until the day
My timely vengeance has been paid
