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

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

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.

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

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

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."
