The Nomadic 04:39
Left hollow this pain won't subside They stitched the words on the inside Now the air I breathe seeps from the seam and it blinds me You say I'll stay asleep so I can breath slowly I say I'll stay awake so I can stop hurting her My sutures rip without the seam holding my chest together All this weight inside me, it will not hold Left hollow this pain won't subside They stitched the words on the inside Now the air I breathe seeps from the seam and it blinds me. I rejected any and all involvement sporadically weaving in and out like a needle through thread I never once stopped and asked for directions, I shouldn't feel lost And now it feels like my body is being ripped apart by those needles I've been carelessly weaving with The best choice I ever made It was the best choice I ever made Left hollow this pain wont subside They stitched the words where we can't find Now the air I breathe seeps from the seam So just shut your mouth to keep the warmth from spilling out Just shut your mouth

Mr. Shakes 01:26
Hello my name is Mr. Shakes I'm the one who took myself away I watched you play your songs today I'm stuck between two worlds they say Don't close your doors I like to watch They shut so tight I'm forced to knock I call your name hoping he's not Today I'll watch your hiding spot I made these doors with these two hands Uneven they hold the white they bare Hoping they'll stay so I can stare I'm too cold and alone this house too scared I took myself, I'm here to stay You noticed me The nights, the days I'll stay here until it becomes my day Hello my name is Mr. Shakes I'm the one who took myself away

Blocking pathways to my honesty you have lied and taken all of me Cutting shortcuts to my honesty I have lied and it's taken all of me, so ironically I don't have anything to give you from my leaping thoughts But if you thought you could see, you'd see Mountains of disbelief in everything that you think I never wanted you to stay I only needed it front of me You said you knew what you had to do But I knew You were in for the coldest summer nights The bleakest outlooked life The one you can't face yourself And mistake this place for hell He told me "You will never regret not putting up with this" "You will never regret..." but I'll never know We've all seen the hunter become the hunted A savior from the engine saves them all But you'll die alone with everything that you think you know With everything that you think you know The longer I stay, I steal from them Both sides have died and relived again But I know I will live to say I’m lying to the healthy side of them It never changes Tell me what the legend said Dig deeper redeemer Forgiveness is not six feet cheaper Forgiveness is six feet away I promise they will ask you "how far along?" Well you don't have to You don't know how far till you've gone too long And I'm the one whose wrong for waiting by that window all day long You forget, you forget Things were never wrong yesterday

Ouranophobia 04:45
I fear this search is unquenchable Do you know who I am? The earth is shifting under the weight, the birth of your child is late But wait do you know who I am? Keep our soul inside keep our soul inside this blanket, keep our soul where you can Heaven my fear of heaven, heaven my fear of heaven I won't let you fall down from the heavens Heaven, my fear of heaven We will not let these skies fall under our horizon Keep our soul inside, keep our soul inside this blanket we've made it's hard to breathe, it's hard to speak when I live this life in escape again and again All these wings buried in my back will weigh me down All the people I've taught to fly will weigh me down All these wings buried in my back will weigh me down All the people I've taught to fly will weigh me down All the people I've taught to fly will leave me on the ground Keep our soul inside Keep it

Reminded of a wolf in sheep's clothing Ripping apart at the corpse of a lady in red who can only be saved by a single cigarette (You can try but he is blind in another man's eyes) You're a spring that never sprung, a "walk" when I've been told to run You are all of the words that I can speak of the uses of a gun Your three options are as follows, friend: leave, get away or get gone. Too many fallen from lyrics of songs, and too much pretending you're right when you were wrong I'm burying your body and I'm burying your song I'm burying the pleasantries because they've gone on for too long I've never been one to care for the careless This is the sound of your life falling apart, don’t you tell me that I live in the dark. I have these stones between my toes to prove I have no soul. I’ve been blinded by the children’s “art”. The fake, the fake, the fake. I love so many things, so many things that have no meaning. They take it try you so very hard. The individual, we can breakdown who we are. And it makes me feel like we are the only ones designed only to bring ourselves to justice when we have a substance in us that makes us question everything. But we live in a world where everyone questions us. We were not designed to be controlled. We were not designed to be controlled. I have these stones in my heels to prove I have no soul anymore. For any part of me. How wrong was I? How wrong? How wrong was I? I am a whore for justice. Someone smite me.

God Collar 06:10
The sun shone through his shoulders The vision shined in his eyes He was one of the chosen The last of his kind He spoke to everyman who listened Their ears were his vice He spread the good word as a messenger One who claimed to see the light He was so enlightened In his mind he would die Just to prove as loyal to his god But no father a disguise Put over the faces of the elders Tired as they were of coping day to day With the relentless threatening gaze The wilderness they kept at bay Their lovers would all be taken For their children it was not safe to play Out in a place of chaos surrounded by this haze Unable to pierce the fog They uncovered a blinding light Called it something holy Called it something pure They had the vilest of feelings As they turned to the lord And it carried throughout In their desperation and dismay They sealed mans fate to this very day At one time crusading for the land in his name Well things have happened Times have changed There is a holy war over your mind That land they fought for has run dry Have you all run dry? They took their greed and called it prophecy They laid their schemes and shouted dynasty I am not an outward mockery but I try to see the truth Irony The truth is they are beautiful The truth is they are golden Truth be told they hide their scars The fellowship of thy kin Building these houses on shaking stilts It's harder to see the pillars When you see the people growing between The foundations are a rouse I believe in the ground Can you feel the morals on the back of your neck? Does your conscious keep you to it? Why do these sanctuaries seem so cold? Remember you gave them Remote control I will never be a part of something beautiful I'll be the ugly one To show you all what the worlds become The ugly one Punished when I commit a sin Like a dog that doesn't understand The ugly one I'll be the ugly one.

Know anything I dont want you to know Know anything I don’t know anything Are we we alone here without any place in time I lean hard to my right just to let my enemies decide Everything is a crime when I bare it in mind I just wish you could know all those times that I lied I’m not sorry no bother I’ve come empty my father while mother sits crying “son you’ve sold us to slaughter” Eyes anchored shut I'm left to dream inside a world Interwoven in between these images of you and me Don’t wake me up Take these skies and burn them by the clouds overlooking the buildings that tower over our graves The only proof we were here while we still wait for the day when the feelings are mutual All while knowing the same things we thought that we thought were the same But they aren’t they aren’t the same thing We are alone Pavement and cobblestone streets rest beneath their feet They walk on different sides No they will never meet Coincidence instills The countless thrills From inside their rooms The atmosphere blooms And takes them away To another place another day Where the world looks just as grey as they do It looks just as grey

Capoeira 05:42
Just because we have the same day Of awakening doesn't mean I have to live the same life of shame and pain That you believe is in your stars Count on me to leave out that part, of the story, No one needs to know this I'm going to plant you as a seed And watch you grow into the ugliest tree This is me extracting my revenge On you all, on myself I have been so wrong lying seemed to catch on, lying to myself Theres only one way I can set things straight Forfeiting my will to create never led never led me more astray. See what you are asking is the worst It is taxing everyone surrounding your wasted body to die a little bit with you And just now I've played along and sang your pathetic dying song That lovers dance to when they linger on and they hold on And they hold on, and the air that flows in and out of every breath that the failures get when they wait When they wait for it, to come back again oh please won't you come back again Just stitch your eyes But not on me It's all so strange to lose We'll stall, we'll fall asleep While I'm reaching out I'm breaking these fingers back Straight face in painting We'll close these eyes collectively But I know we'll see, we'll have to see Let's say we love them But not stray our hearts from thee (what do you know? do you know who you are?) Let's not stray (Cause I don't know who I am, let alone who engraved these plans in the palms of your hands) Crawl between and grow You can never be bigger than the people on either side of you Crawl between and grow you can never grow as the anti host

We found a failures heart
12.
Somewhere between the ocean and machines Where my only means of communication was to live on and off of other breathing dying animals Animals that have seen too many days of life sifting through haze Haze brought to the valley by vultures of a distant land Brought on the wind beneath their wings the sins of a dead kingdom plague us They are trapped. We are trapped. I, I am trapped. But maybe, maybe we can learn to live inside the lines that have been drawn around us In search of their one true king, led by victims followers sing They Sing "We Found A Failures Heart."
