Of Friend & Foe
05:22
|
|||
Verse 1:
An aging piece of flesh and bone
Blackened from the head to sole
A teacher of his friends and foe
A boy without a home
Verse 2:
Castles made from sand not stone
A hand that's made of glass not bone
The juvenile sound of words
Crumble in his hands
Chorus:
Sound out the writing on the wall
And bow down the two of them are one
Don't try now to even up the line
Without the boy listening to what she wrote
Bridge:
I see your face in a maze of light
And the stars shine bright tonight
But I hear a voice in the dead of night

Ventura
03:05
|
|||
Verse 1:
I’m always in your head
Creeping into your bed
Fed through a broken straw
Beside a blood-stained wall
I couldn’t see far
It couldn’t be long
Please me and treat me right
Make me feel Retarded
Verse 2:
This wall of mine holds back
All of the times we had
Falling into you
Falling away from me
Chorus:
Passed out with a crack in my bones
Inviting parasites in my head
In my tracks, in my blood
Inviting all their friends
Bridge:
I’m always in your bed
Creeping into your head
I cannot see to far
It shouldn't be to long
|

For All To See
05:32
|
|||
Verse 1:
Don’t sit down and watch me bleed
Your eyes roll inside and you scream
A taste of reality, have yourself a treat
Painted glass and walls to steal
A shrinks sells you what you see
A mind that’s make up of the hand that feeds you
Pre-Chorus:
Fell into deep out of time
The devil awoke in my mind
Seeped into the depths of his eyes
Drifting away for a time
Verse 2:
Take a glimpse at the ones who breathe
Paint a sight for all to see
Pass a note to the ones who will not defy you
Charred air is the thing I breathe
Blackened scars are yours to heal
I do not invite the hand that guides you
Chorus:
Passed out on the same old road now, why’d you have to be so smooth
Taken from my peace of mind and thru into your way of life
Kicking rocks and throwing stones and face down in a shallow hole
What you see is what you get so leave me be, farewell
Bridge:
I’ve fallen to deep this time babe

Echoes
03:55
|
|||
Verse 1:
Stiffed waiting for odds l cannot see
A deal that was not meant to be
All things in the past must be set free
A meager reply of sorts I see
Verse 2:
Black holes in the fire beneath my feet Expanding with eyes I cannot see Tapes ran to till they burst and break from the seams
A singular sound for all who breath
A chance that was not for me to take Some reasons that were not meant to be
Chorus:
A stare that turns my way
The walls they speak my name
A face that turns to grey
Bridge:
Echoes my name
|

Verse 1:
How does it feel by the end, running around you? Is it true
But I know now I’m going down this road I choose
Show me a trick and I’ll laugh thinking about you, is it true
But I know now I’m seeing all the things I see
Verse 2:
Paint me a face on the wall and tell me it’s you, can’t you do
Well i know now it just can’t all be the way I choose
Verse 3:
Standing alone in the mirror talking to you, could it be true
Well I know now it’s all just in the way I move
Chorus:
Tell me true, can’t you do?
I’m in bloom, how about you?
I’m going down that same old road I choose

Young Love
03:19
|
|||
Verse 1:
Poison in the well
Take a sip babe, and fade into yourself
That's why it's got to be
Guess I'm the only one who sees you this way
Verse 2:
Who and what you won't do.
This life is a trip love, and I'm in it for the ride
Fell into a sudden void
Clawing my way out an end to it all
Chorus:
Young Love
Bridge:
Hey you, this life you may lead,
I say farewell and I do not regret
For now you may go off into clouds
And crawl your way back down alone
So now I am free oh yes I am free
Free to be alone

Fever Dream
04:01
|
|||
Verse 1:
Drove down by the corner of the abyss with some change and you
Caught up in a landslide of entangled and delirious laughs
Trepidation takes hold as we wash away in this awful mess
Doesn’t matter now all we just got to do is take another hit
Verse 2:
Passed out in a storm of a enticing fever dream
The smiles of all who came before me just do not last
A shake of the inevitable hands of the old and damned
Temptation Invites all the resentful spirits of the land
Chorus:
Trapped in a haze
Take another, what is too lose?
Beside ourselves with nothing but our youth
Bridge:
Some day, my name will not last.
I’m on the road
I'm gone for awhile
Wont stop anytime
I'm on my feet

Wayside
02:21
|
|||
Verse 1:
Hey brother, are you ready to go?
My feet are gonna explode
Hey Sister do you wanna see?
All the fuss that’s going down on the scene
I’m gonna love it, I’m gonna scream
I’m gonna see how it feels anyway
Got a tip, got something to choose?
Doesn't matter now, it’s all up to you
Verse 2:
Hey brother, what's for us now?
Got something that will bring us down
Got an itch, got a mind of its own
man I’m feeling like I'm gonna explode
Gonna dance gonna go for a ride
Anything that will make me alright
Got a number got a name on the line
Got a feeling that I cannot describe
Chorus:
We’re on our way down by the wayside

Entangled Tribes
04:50
|
|||
Verse 1:
In my life, in this life
All you know is told through the eyes
Of entangled tribes caught beneath a lie we’ve been told
Verse 2:
The timbre of the waves crashes into me
The pounding of the drums from above
Ring across the plains, and echo through my veins
A momentary lapse of time
Pre-Chorus:
Mending, breaking, temptations grow old
Silence of the sinful soul
Chorus:
The tales of he who defied, the words of the old
They scrape all their coins in the well
Trapped waist deep
It's too late
|

At Sixes & Sevens
03:35
|
|||
Verse 1:
Lovely charm in the dead of night
A taste of you makes me feel alright
Told of the monsters who terrorize
In my heart there is no light
Verse 2:
My Poison flows into your veins
It’s okay but nothing is the same
Chorus:
Welcome to my inner place, I feel your blood run down my face
You cut and scream but it's all a game, for I am you and you are me
Hold you close and feel your eyes they dilate and wash aside
I flow into you
Bridge:
Passing into the shadows
A crooked reminder of a shallow hole
And I do not fault you
But I did not realize my own fate
|
||||
11. |
Beyond The Pale
06:19
|
|||
Verse 1:
Watching your eyes glow bewildered the mind goes
A voice that’s inside my head points an arrow at your head
And fires
Verse 2:
Once I was excited to be delighted and invited
But now there is a reason and it’s treason to prey on those
Who have paid
Chorus:
Take it away
It’s inside
Can’t find my way
Bridge:
Passing the torch from the setting sun, pieces of you wash away
Watching the stars fly into the sun, celestial eyes on the prize
Senseless reminders of what we have, a mindless release of your hand
Ending:
Take me away

Sleep
02:23
|
|||
Verse 1:
Where’s that you’re hiding; on the other side of the road?
What’s that, you’re crying?
And it breaks my heart to sleep
Verse 2:
But now it comes to me that the shepherd cries alone
What’s that you’re hiding?
Well it breaks my heart to sleep
Chorus:
It breaks my heart to sleep
Bridge:
Break away
