Pray for Sleep
Retreat
You take your pills and pray for sleep
You thought you were strong
Now you’re all alone
So far from home
Another sleepless night
You lay across the city sky
She takes your hand
And tells you lies
It’s different this time
Submit
These fools are champing at the bit
You watched how they fall
You’re just the same
You lost control
Another sleepless night
You lay across her lap and cry
She’ll touch your hair and tell you lies
It will be different this time
Will you repent for what you’ve done
One by one
How they fall
Now they leave you in the dirt
Another sleepless night
You lay across her lap and cry
She’ll touch your hair and tell you lies
You swear it’s the last time

DRUG (BITTER PILL)

Drug (Bitter Pill)
It’s a bitter pill
I’ll swallow it whole
Like a memory pressed against my flesh
When I feel you wrapped around my throat
This story’s over told
You’re begging for control
I have a right to give it all
I have a right to make you crawl
Make you crawl
You take my breath but I want more
I want it all
You take my breath but I want more
I want it all
All your bitter pills
I’ll swallow you whole
Like a memory pressed against my flesh
When I feel you wrap around my throat
There’s strength in letting go
My strength is yours to hold
Can you handle taking all
Can you reap what you sow
Can you take what you crave
Can you take what you crave
You take my breath but I want more
I want it all
I want it all
You take my breath but I want more
I want it all
I want it all
You keep begging for control
Keep begging for control
Keep begging for control

ASCENSION

Ascension
This obsession
With our destruction
Why must they tear us down
This fascination
My humiliation
While we’re watching each other drown
Then In your arms I found a respite from this storm
We’re running through shadows
We can rest when we’re old
We can keep on running away forever
They’re not gonna stop our ascension
We just keep on running away forever
Nobody can stop us
I was tired of screaming alone
Emancipation
From isolation
It’s something sacred, it’s home
Then in your arms I found a safety I can hold
We’ll never surrender
We’ll break before we fold
We’ll just keep on running away forever
They’re not gonna stop our ascension
We just keep on running away forever
Nobody can stop us
Please baby take my hand
We’ll leave this place
Leave this way of live
We can survive on our anger
We can survive off each other
We can escape our tomorrow
If we keep running from today
We’ll just keep on running away forever
They’re not gonna stop our ascension
We just keep on running away forever
Until nothing else matters

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

Last Will and Testament
Under the ground
She waits for you
A blanket made of leaves
Insects called to feed
He left her there
Nothing much to find
Fingernails and hair
She said go on
I know you can be strong
You can
She wrote her last goodbyes she knew
It was the end
In a quiet house
Hope fades to gray
A young girls hopes and dreams
Now boxes put away
Yet still he calls
For a will he couldn’t break
With plastic wrap and silver tape
She said go on
I know you can be strong
You can
She wrote her last goodbyes
She knew it was the end
Waiting for the call
Keep my casket closed
Please Dad
She wrote her last goodbyes
She knew it was the end
Frightened of the phone
She’s never coming home

AGAINST THE WALL

Against the Wall
In solitude we wallow
Deep in despair with heads bowed down in shame
With nothing left to borrow
We can’t go on
We can’t go on
Like this
Like this
They’ve got us up against the wall
What we get is what we get
We got their boots upon our neck
What we get is what we get
We got their boots upon our neck
Got their boots upon our neck
We got these boots upon our neck
We take the scraps they leave us
We thank the heels that dig into our backs
We beg their gods to save us
We can’t go on
We can’t go on
Like this
Like this
They’ve got us up against the wall
What we get is what we get
We got their boots upon our neck
What we get is what we get
We got their boots upon our neck
Got their boots upon our neck
We got these boots upon our neck

FACE THE STENCH
05:31

Face the Stench
They called to him
From across the veil
I brought him back
But not for long
In basement rooms
And bathroom stalls
From in the walls
They called for surrender
That’s strange
He said
That the walls were crawling
A tiny voice came choking out
While all the lights were flashing
A broken heart stops beating
While your ghosts were calling
In the silent room
On burn marked sheets
Laid on the bed
And played with death
He sank back down
With shallow breath
Break down the door
And face the stench
That’s strange
He said
When the walls starting crawling
I lost my the ground beneath my feet
While all your chaos consumed me
A restless heart that beats no more
Still your ghost keeps calling
How do I go on without you
How do I go on
Do I go on
Without you

VICTIM

Victim
Getting tired of this disguise
Wading through your self-entitled lies
Mother never told you no, she begged you not to go
She’s praying for your poor and broken soul
Its not misfortune, not your affliction
You think they’ll crucify you
No one even cares, and no one ever will
You’re running out of time
Your path it ain’t divine
No I’m not your victim
I’m not gonna be a victim
Disorder
Disrupt the order
Disorder
Disrupt the order
Just another angry soul
Leave you with all the broken boys who’ll never know
No one owes you shit
If you think you can take it think again you’ll never win
You’re not a martyr
Not a subverter
You think they’ll crucify you
No one knows your name
No one ever will
You’re running out of time
Your path it ain’t divine
You’re the one who’ll be a victim
A victim of your weakness
Spineless and selfish
Enjoy your isolation
Your self important nonsense
I pity your existence
Meet resistance with a fist
I’m not your victim
I’m not gonna be a victim
Disorder
Disrupt the order
Disorder
Disrupt the order

SHATTERED WORLD
07:00

Shattered World
In this shattered land
Nothing moves any more
You remember once
Bodies washed up on shore
In this shattered land
Time has long passed you by
And the colors have all faded
They bleed out from the sky
You look up that sky
You’re asking it why
Get down on your knees and you beg
With your head in your hands
You say take this life
Please take my life
On this shattered world
All remnants of life have long turned to dust
And it hangs in the stagnant air
You’re forever lost
On this shattered world
On this shattered world
The ruin of man is your curse
And time is your cage
You’re asking him why
He won’t let you die
Get down on your knees and you beg
You pray for the end
Take this life
Please take my life
