Take a bow
Take my hand
Break a vow
Let's begin
Dye (die) in the hue (hew)
Make the scales balance true
As they fall
A smell so sweet
Flowers upon a coffin
Hold on tight
cause we all
leave
empty-handed

Burning potential
Ash
Ash forms at our feet
Rain
With rain, fall
to mud of deceit
Crooked bone
Aching line
Knotted joint in fractured time
Forever
clawing beneath
Ash
Ash forms at our feet
Rain
With rain, fall
to mud of deceit
Crooked bone
Aching line
Knotted joint in fractured time
Twisted spine
in fractured time
Monolith
Monolith
of error
Error
Turned reckless
Reckless tower
Faith burned
Intention falls
Doomed and pointless
Monolith
Monolith of error
Reckless
tower so tall
So tall
So tall
Tower
So tall
Ash
forms
at our feet

Break your promises
on knees in the dark
Once things come to light
the herding starts
How the heavy the torch
Your hand starts to shake
Ignite the gaslight
and the beds you've made
Talking of walking on water
with shoes made of brick
Sick with power, smelling flowers
in your kingdom of shit
How heavy the torch
Your hand starts to shake
Ignite the gaslight
and the beds you've made
Hide in sheets made of wool
from your sheep made of fools
Mob pariah
Thrown to the wolves
Hide in sheets made of wool
from your sheep made of fools
Flock's messiah
Now on fire
Gates crash
Walls cave
Suffocate
The world you made
Construct of hate
Hide in sheets made of wool
from your sheep made of fools
Mob pariah
Thrown to the wolves
Hide in sheets made of wool
From your sheep made of fools
Flock's messiah
Now on fire

You've seen it all
Gleaming and neat
Coat upon coat
Buried beneath
Covered hope
Come and see
All the same, nothing is new
Never-ending
Come and see
All the same, nothing is new
Neverending coat upon coat of
hope
Gleaming and neat
Buried beneath
Disgust in the air
You know better
Bitter tongue laid bare
You all know better
You've seen it all
This can be fixed
You've seen it all
Lies
on lies
Gathered pile
Come and see
All the same, nothing is new
Never-ending
Lies on lies
Gather the pile
Come and see
All the same, nothing is new
Never-ending
Lies on lies
Gather the pile
You've seen it all
Nothing changes

Empty Prose
05:29
|

Everything
Thoughts and dreams
Cries and screams
Gone, like water into sand
Inherent doom
Someday soon
Flowers bloom
Welcome the decay of man
Is being thought a monster
worse than never given any thought at all?
Any thought at all
The axe can't remember
The tree won't forget
Lightweight contender
Heavyweight regret
The world untouched
by wring (ring) and wrought (rot)
Not a single minute
for a second thought
The axe can't remember
The tree won't forget
Lightweight contender
Heavyweight regret
Empty prose
no one knows
A whisper in a storm
Pretend to bleed
Out of beads
on the rosary

Ceaseless Lantern
02:59

Everyone knows I am beautiful
because I tell them so
Good vibes only, never lonely
Come enjoy the show
Watch my lantern
boil with snake oil
Brightest feathers, brightest weather
Living, laughing, loving, praying
Thick skin, without decaying
Follow my lead
if you can keep up
Endlessly, watch my lantern boil
with snake oil
Who are you again?
Oh, my dearest friend
I can see no end
to how far you will bend
Who are you again?
Oh, my dearest friend
My dearest friend
how far you bend
Follow my lead
if you can keep up
Good luck
Everyone knows I am beautiful
because I make sure to tell them so

Pulp And Root

Father of my father
of my father of my father of
Wells of piss and poison
Choose to rather rise above
Broken bones mend stronger now
Spiteful crown on bloodied brow
Cut out the tongue
of my father’s son
Dead leaves, fallen fruit
Upon the fault of pulp and root
Branches bare, uncovered lies
Allowing more uncovered sky
Planted seeds in solid ground
Escaping shade, reclaim the crown
Cut out the tongue
of my father’s son

Poison Dowry
07:14
|
|||
Unable to escape
this sullen shroud
Cloak of shame, fabric of guilt,
poisonous cloud
Struggle to understand
only tightens the knot
The noose in waiting, slowly creating
virtuous rot
Innocent eyes don't realize
and tug at the edges
Not understanding, the dowry in waiting
will cover them next
Repentant life content to lie
on the greenest hill
Wholeheartedly broken, knowingly chosen,
the sanctity killed
Struggle to understand
only tightens the knot
The noose in waiting, slowly creating
virtuous rot
Innocent eyes don't realize
their place at the table
Not understanding, the dowry in waiting
cursing them next
All too happy
to snuff out the light
Flood of blood, filling lungs,
breathing night
A funeral loop
on repeat, forlorn
Forever mourn
A funeral loop
on repeat, forlorn
Forever mourn
on repeat, forlorn
Forever mourn
The death of
best intentions
Best intentions
reborn
