ALL BUT SIX LYRICS

1. The Helping Hand

There are two hands
Pressed perfectly together
Mirrored images
But one is hopeful and the other knows better
When calloused digits do their dance
Friction makes the balance shift
So, what's left to pray for
If I'm right, and you cannot escape my grip

It's me again, can you hear me
When you were lost, I'm what you found
And I don't make a sound
My silence drowns your screaming

So, who am I
I'm your only friend. Can you feel me
The weight that made you sink this low and I am the hole
You'd have to kill you to kill me

Every night, just waiting for the sunrise
Because you know, at night I come alive
And everything glows in the moonlight
What one hand hides is what the other is bound to find
I'll pick apart the people that you lay by
Give you another reason just to leave them at the wayside
I'll open every heart to make you realize that you're all mine
I feed on your fears in the dark

I've been walking down the street and talking to myself
Keep your head low. Don't let the pain show
You've got me and nobody else
So, when your shadow is getting thin
And you think it's safe to try again
Let them in and I'll show them how I move
They're nothing like you
They'll never love you like I do

Entwined together
You are mine forever
Every night just waiting for the sunrise
Because you know, at night I come alive
Entwined together
You are mine forever
They're nothing like you
They'll never love you like I do
Entwined together
You are mine forever
And everything glows in the moonlight
What one hand hides, the other is bound to find
Entwined together
You are mine forever
They're nothing like you
They'll never love you
They'll never love you like I do

I have never made a hard choice by myself
Without the night's hands doing their worst to help
And I have never loved anything but their abuse
A sick obsession with how gracefully they tie the noose
I've tried thinking of something with someone else
But, in every bed, the same ceiling. It's hell
From the darkest corners of the room
The night's hands will find their way to you

2. Calloused

Welcome back to my violent path
You had no choice but to return
You want to know how I walk on glass
I want to know how you never fucking learned
I've made the loop one thousand times
I'll round the bend ten thousand more
My pace tells you that it doesn't hurt
Your face tells me nothing has ever hurt you more

Is it a choice to live like me
Or a curse to dwell in circles
To think you're moving forward
But coming right back to where I hurt you
Because when you don't feel it's free
To try again with another
Smash what's left of a lover
And then run for cover
So, this is how you feed
You polish them clean
You take what you need
And set the rest free
To my

Welcome back to my violent path
You had no choice but to return
You want to know how I walk on glass
I want to know how you never fucking learned
I've made the loop one thousand times
I'll round the bend ten thousand more
My pace tells you that it doesn't hurt
Your face tells me nothing has ever hurt you more

So tell me
Do you ever chew on broken glass
Do you like the way your blood pumps just for the past

And now I hope
So, I must be human
I'm coming home
For that awful feeling
I believe you've met
I think you know my demons
If there's something left
Then it's something to feed on

Do you ever chew on broken glass
Do you like the way your blood pumps just for the past
Do you ever fail to keep the beat
Do you crush the ones who care with calloused feet
Do you ever a feel a thing

3. To Spite the Dog

Are you afraid of God
I heard the wolf howl
Yeah, I heard him scream
You've fallen under my spell
Yeah, you'll cut your tale short
Just to spite the dog in me

Two words
You deserve
You deserve the degrees
Two words
To burn
This life. This fight. Right out of me

The beast just can't keep it to himself
He can feel his chains
So, this kingdom must be hell

I'll fit right in
Suck blood. Inherit taste
Identity is a void in beasts
I'll fit right in
Take life. Inherit grace
Identity is avoiding me

In times of faith, we're not well
That's when creatures flock to fakes
Wolves smile and then the teeth come out
The sheep think that's what life is
Animals waiting turns, just to sink their crooked teeth in

If God's in heaven, then all is well
Then this kingdom must be
If I've got no soul to sell
Then this kingdom must be hell
And I'll fit right in
Just watch me
Hell
And I'll fit right in
Just watch me
I'll fit right in
Suck blood. Inherit taste
Identity is a void in beasts
I'll fit right in
Take life. Inherit grace
Identity is avoiding me

Are you afraid of God
I heard the wolf howl
Yeah, I heard him scream
You've fallen under my spell
Yeah, you'll cut your tale short
Just to spite the dog in me
Just to spite the dog in me

5. Innerwar

If you fall
Do you think you family would be shocked at all
If you fade
Do you think your son would be blessed with much brighter days
To reach the seventh stage
Six must carve my name
And just like the pain
Then the stone will wear away

If you fold
Do you think your sisters will forget you grew so cold
If you fail
Do you think your brother will be right on your trail
Children told their vision is a gift
Blessed to see God's grin eating shit

With a presence like poison and barbed with truth
Dear brother, has anyone ever been close to you
And the ones who tried, yeah, tell me did you ruin
Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you
Incapable of love
With a heart too hard to touch

Every day that I choose life
Just another chance to make my mother cry
Without my thorns in your side
Seven stages could just pass right by

But, to reach the seventh stage
You know
That six must carve my name

At first, it's shock
You will deny the pain
Then anger rises
And you bargain with the fates
Depression sets in
Was this a test
Were you just too late
But, you must accept you can't help
I've always felt this way

Dear brother
I'm sorry
I did it again
I let my guard down
And I let the voices in
God always wins
And I can't do this again

When you fall
And you'll fall
No, your family won't be shocked at all
When you fade
And you'll fade
Yeah, your son will be blessed with much brighter days
When you fold
And you'll fold
No, your sisters won't forget you grew so cold
When you fail
And you'll fail
Yeah, your brother, you know he'll be right on your trail

When you fall
What six will carve it
What six will carve it
When you fade
What six will carve it
What six will carve my name
When you fold
What six will carve it
What six will carve it
When you fail
What six will carve it
What six will carve my name

I try to hide behind masks of dad's design
He could always change his skin to match the scene
But, then I get high and my savior writes
He says you'll hurt until you set yourself free
Set yourself free
Free

6. Jealous Garden

What a wondrous gift you've been given
Young traveler, you'll go very far
But, it's a cruel world that you live in
Where dead bodies outnumber the stars
So, who the fuck do you think you are
Can't you find a way to not join us singing
All we know
Are the holes that we roam
All we hold
Are grudgest that I am so proud to have grown

Like dead roses blooming from my chest
Each time we fail, we promise to forget
We would lie for water
I would lie for truth
To make God smile, there's one thing we must do

Will you still dream of reaching the top
When I've already spoiled the plot
Can you taste the dirt yet
How much longer can you bear to watch the sun set

I've climbed to the pinnacle
And seen it all
Nothing original
I grew tired
Of feeling cynical
But in this life
Death is the only miracle
So, climb to the pinnacle
See it all
Nothing original
Grow tired
Of feeling cynical
And then regret

You waited for a miracle
God's the only thing that God can't stop
It's a miracle
If God envies death
Then down here I'm on top

Our heads in the dirt
Our hearts try to leave earth
Jealousy in full bloom, now
In the garden, he uses you
To fantasize about his own way out

So, if you could only be me now
You'd understand why I embrace the ground
Freedom from the sights and sounds
Down here, I know I must have made God proud

And my swan song
Is a love song
