Gazing away
Through once vestal eyes
- rip me from my sleep
- grinding down my teeth
To the hope that I held
I say my goodbyes
- despair fills all of me
In spite of you I’m alive
I played dead to survive
In spite of the wounds I’m alive
I played dead
Gnawing dismay
Grim, loss, nothing
- rip me from my sleep
- grinding down my teeth
This voice in my head
means to bury me
and these wounds I conceal
are my tragedy
- despair fills all of me
In spite of you I’m alive
I played dead to survive
In spite of the wounds I’m alive
I played dead
“let it go”
“I can’t stop tonguing at the wounds...”

sadist,
throw a life away
face a plastic mask
at a loss
at a whisper
fragile what you say
heartless,
throw a life away
hide it in the past
all was lost
all was taken
watch her fade away
answers lie in muddy memories,
and when it rains the buried bones begin to show
bones alone
white and cold
bones alone...
soothing, empty hunger pangs
squeeze the breath away
at a loss
at a whisper
fragile wings decay
empty heart, in an empty chest
all is emptiness
all was lost
all was taken
watch her fade away
answers lie in muddy memories,
and when it rains the buried bones begin to show
bones alone
white and cold
bones alone
emptiness
I am dead inside

Under My Breath

Nailed down
I grind my teeth to sleep
Suffocate
as I try to forget
- Blood of young blood
Sealed shut
I’ll find a way to speak
As you’re silently begging at my feet
- Blood of young blood
I hope you pray
I hope you bleed
I hope you cry
For then I will sleep
- closure
Fuck this hiding game
now I want out
I won't sleep again with this rage in my mouth
Gut yourself, my eyes are open
Gut yourself at my feet

You couldn’t kill me
We both know you tried
You couldn’t kill me
In one hundred years
You failed
You failure...

dark truth untold
a snake in a human mask
blood brother!
I am the tongue
I’m the lips
I’m the words
there's no right way to kill
someone who does not want to die
dark thoughts unfold
a blade in the human throat
blood brother!
I am the tongue
I’m the lips
I’m the words
There's no right way to kill
someone who does not want to die
I talked with the dead
"watch him bleed out from his throat"

Razorblades As Neckties

This respirator tastes like sick
This respirator tastes like death
fought just to keep me breathing
with this rope tied around my neck
Enough is enough
Let said what's never been said
Enough is enough
Let the dead bury the dead
- Razorblades
Carry the weight
of all that slowly fades
in cavernous graves
to dust the bones give way
Own your wretched lies
and the blood that stains your hands
Own all that binds us...you and I
Let the dead bury the dead

For Hope Lost
03:35
|

crawled through shame and pain
just to watch you fall
this stiletto wound will burn
cut from all despair
old fears dead and gone
this stiletto wound will burn...
a savior
a brutal king
a thorn stabbing through my skin
hold me beneath your wing
hold me, brutal king
I’m home
to your knees you fall
for hope lost
now you bleed

I Will Guide Thy Hand

I'm coming home
discarded lost hope
bided my time
bloodied but unbowed
holding your rope
I’m coming home
to sharpen my teeth on your bones
you're a lamb who's bred to sheer
I'm the teeth that tear the flesh away
you're the carrion at the wake
I'm a vulture on the take
I'm coming home
with a ravenous heart
wings wide I arrive
severing ties
holding your rope
I'm coming home
to sharpen my teeth on your bones
you're a lamb who's bred to sheer
I'm the teeth that tear the flesh away
you're the carrion at the wake
I'm a vulture on the take
I'm a vulture...
suffer
wear your rope
carcass
wear your rope
I’ve the taste of blood on my lips
ripping the flesh from your bones
I am wolf
I'm awake
I'm a vulture on the take
wind carries
well-set wings
lifting me
I will guide thy hand
