AFTER ME, THE FLOOD LYRICS

1. Ruin Alone

When there was no more room in hell the dead began to walk the earth. Billions of people lived out their lives, oblivious to what they had become. We have defined our reality. Only through pain and suffering have we allowed ourselves to truly exist. Love is what will destroy and take away. We have defined our reality and I ruin alone.

2. Down The Rabbit Hole

God, can you hear me? Are you even listening anymore. There’s something that must be said. I’m down on my knees. The Christ that died on the cross didn’t do it for my sins. I tried to get you to save my soul but the devil has my skin. He wears it so well. The universal truth is we were born to bleed, suffer and sleep. Justifying this life that follows eternal peace. I guess that you just forgot about me. The older we get the further down the rabbit hole we go. The older we get the smaller our crosses shrink. The older I get the more the devil wants a taste. Forgive me for all the things that you didn't stop me from doing. God can you hear me, are you listening.

3. Casket

Lying still the earth has reclaimed. Puzzle Piece put into place. Is death the ending or just the beginning. The casket’s closed, only taking never giving. The cruelty that is shows, the world stopped spinning. Still life, earths reclaimed its piece. Though it ceased your heart still beats with me. We taste the soil. The balance was disconnected and never will be reestablished. “I’m sorry son but your father didn’t make it.” The look in your eyes reminded me of a better place in my mind. The casket is closed and I didn’t get to say goodbye. And you worked your hands to the bone providing for a family who’s lives are running on borrowed time. And I hope that some day I'll be half the man you always wanted me to be. Lying still. Lying still, the earth has reclaimed. Puzzle piece put into place. And the day that I buried you six feet underneath, I hope this isn’t the last time I see your face.

4. Dead Lights

I find comfort knowing that soon I'll be dead and gone. From the day you were born till the day you will die you’ve been blinded by these dead lights. It’s this god damn place that showing me that my fears and anxiety is slowly killing me. Everyday is a constant reminder that the voices I hear are the things that I fear. That the fire that burns inside is what’s keeping me alive. And I just want it to burn out, cease to exist. And I just want it to fucking burn out. I’ve lost touch with myself, I’ve lost touch with hope, I’ve lost touch with faith, I just can’t feel a thing. And nothing turned out the way that I wanted it to be and nothing is what it seems. I look to the past instead of the future. The further I go the more disconnected I am. I’ll show you how to float, we all float down here. It’s these dead lights that are killing me. And nothing is what it seems, and nothing turned out the way that I wanted to be. I would rather look into these dead lights then watch myself keep sinking. I would rather look into these dead lights then watch the world keep sinking. Blind me.

5. Valdosta

And I just want to taste you one more time. And I lust after the flesh you have. Please, please, please give me a fucking chance. Let me wear your fucking skin. The virgin blood that courses through your veins is what has me so unhinged. You’re sick and tired of the way
I look at you. I’m sick and tired of the way you look at me. And I hate loving you, but I love hating you. No matter where you go or what you do I’ll always have my eyes on you. I’ll always be watching. The lust that fills my soul keeps me from having control. Let me taste your flesh.

6. Away

I watched you fade away, into the nothing we must face. Blank stare, cold skin we will never speak again. The hospital floor is freezing and I can’t stop shaking. What happened to you? The eyes in the waiting room won’t stop staring. What was the last thought that you had before resting with peace. I guess the flowers everyone sent is suppose to mean they will miss you as much as we do. Time keeps fleeting, lives keep fading. I watched you fade away into the nothing we must face.

7. Requiem

If time heals all then why do these wounds grow deeper. It just bothers me that you won't see me grow into something. Like lock and key, life chasing after death is our lives night and day. Lost without a key, no doors to step through. Locks rust, and the clock keeps ticking. Someone point me away from where I’m heading. I can see the birds the gathering. This depression is real. Like the gun you gave to me and I just can not stop staring. Pick me apart limb from limb. Damn these not so secret thoughts for telling me to pull it.
Their wings opened up and picked me limb from limb. Take me away from this place because I am nothing compared to what I should be. Making you proud was all I ever wanted. To afraid to fail, I will never be seen. Pick me apart limb from limb.
