1. Love Me

Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?
Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?

Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?
Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?

There's nothing left to love
There's nothing left to love
There's nothing left to love
There's nothing left to love

2. Wings of Nightmares

I'm clinging to the wings of nightmares
Detaching every finger one by one
Shaken awake to find our absence hasn't manifested yet
Longing for a sense of loss
Picking me apart like birds of prey
Where illusions will depart from unhinged jaws
Silent in the presence of your name

Rip the memory from my mind
Perfectly still but somehow running out of time

Keep your distance
From the flowers that will decorate my corpse
Undeserving of a chance to watch them thrive
Remove the sickness
Before it has a chance to run its course
I knew we'd never make it out alive

Clairvoyant only to delusion
As you salvage fantasy to fit your needs
You held my lifeless body to your heart
And convinced yourself that could feel a pulse
(Laying traps beneath my feet)
(I will chew through to the bone in my desire to be free)

Rip the memory from my mind
Perfectly still but somehow running out of time

Keep your distance
From the flowers that will decorate my corpse
Undeserving of a chance to watch them thrive
Remove the sickness
Before it has a chance to run its course
I knew we'd never make it out alive

Your shadow will keep me blinded by the light living in lies
Allowing fallen petals to turn black
Reflecting the colour of your insides

Rip the memory from my mind
Hold my lifeless body to your heart
And convince yourself that you still feel a pulse
Rip the memory from my mind
Perfectly still but somehow running out of time

3. Paradise and Plague

Warn only those who choose to hear a disappearing trail of death
So spare me your sentiments and accept me as I am

Salvation reaches out through familiar screams, begging me to stay
Reserve your mourning for the dead who wish they had but one day left
No need to waste your grief on me, I'm with you now

Will the ones I love forgive me for leaving too soon?
Caught in the space between paradise and plague
There's nowhere I'd rather be than with you

Warn only those who choose to hear a disappearing trail of death
Abandon the hope you had and accept me as I am

No one could save me
I was born inside my grave

No one could save me
I was born inside my grave

Reserve your mourning for the dead who wish they had but one day left
No need to waste your grief on me, I'm with you now

Will the ones I love forgive me for leaving too soon?
Caught in the space between paradise and plague
There's nowhere I'd rather be than with you
There's nowhere I'd rather be than with you
There's nowhere I'd rather be than with you

4. The Hands That Used To Hold Me

Hold my eyelids open and secure my hanging head
Digging shards of bone from both our feet
Removing teeth to free what's left of sentences unsaid
Ensuring my last breath echoes relief

We ignore the sound of two dissolving souls
As our home disintegrates into a grave
Rebuilt above burnt earth to be sure
Nothing else can grow

You left as I was dreaming
But when I opened my eyes
You swore you were still here

Preserving footprints in the colour of our blood
And as our veins ran dry you swore you were still here

Suffocate me in my sleep
The weight of my belief will bury me
Suffocate me in my sleep
The weight of my belief will bury me

I felt your presence fleeing long before you took your leave
You swore you were still here
Leaving small incisions in the hands that used to hold me

And as our veins ran dry you swore you were still here

Hold my eyelids open and secure my hanging head
Digging shards of bone from both our feet
Removing teeth to free what's left of sentences unsaid
Ensuring my last breath echoes relief

We ignore the sound of two dissolving souls
As our home disintegrates into a grave
Rebuilt above burnt earth to be sure
Nothing else can grow

You swore you were still here
You swore you were still here

5. Separate Wounds

Numbing the nerve endings in my arms to endure a vain embrace
Exhausted by the light leaving our eyes
Our leap of faith will lead us to a bed of blades
Remove the skin and reveal to me the likeness of a ghost
As teardrops find their way towards my throat
Our leap of faith will lead us to a bed of blades
Descending from the heaven we created in our heads

We both bleed (We both bleed)
But out of separate wounds
Not meant to mend a different breed of broken
Pulling the cure out of the suffering themselves
We are two different breeds of broken

Remove the skin and reveal to me the likeness of a ghost
As teardrops find their way towards my throat
I'd sooner die with the deserted than coexist amidst feigned love
Bringing your hands towards the sky, expecting me to cast myself down

We are two different breeds of broken
Our leap of faith will lead us to a bed of blades
Descending from the heaven we created in our heads

We both bleed, but out of separate wounds
Not meant to mend a different breed of broken
Pulling the cure out of the suffering themselves
We are two different breeds of broken
We are two different breeds of broken

6. Your Own Knife

Resurface from contaminated soil when you're starved
As the poison thins your blood, drown in your dependence
Writing a false doctrine in which you portray a victim
While we both know I'm the reason you were spared

I should have let you die
And I live with the regret of my decision
I should have let you die
And the day will come when I will be the reason you repent

You threw yourself onto your own knife
I should have let you die

No man but me can disfigure my creation
I will absolve you of your sins and hurl you into hell myself

Your senses can no longer recognize my saving grace
As the poison thins your blood, drown in your dependence
Silently securing your neck within my noose
To mirror your vicious transgressions

No man but me can disfigure my creation
I will absolve you of your sins and hurl you into hell myself

I should have let you die
I should have let you die
I should have let you die

(I should have let you die)

7. Cherished

I am the dagger
I will drive into my heart
To drain myself of my impurity

Abandoned at conception
Feeding off affection left behind
I'll never know acceptance
If people only come to me to die

All I've cherished will run from my embrace
Nothing will stay, nothing will stay
Dwell in my debris
Never knowing how it feels to be at peace
Nothing will stay

A confidence I could never conceive
When the weight of insecurity becomes too much to bear
Perception will deceive me
Losing sight as I stare into a razor
To be rewarded collections of my flaws

I am the dagger
I will drive into my heart
I am the dagger
I will drive into my heart
To drain myself of my impurity
I am the blade forced into my face
Rearranging features for the pleasure of perfection

Losing sight as I stare into a razor
To be rewarded collections of my flaws

All I've cherished will run from my embrace
Nothing will stay, nothing will stay
Dwell in my debris
Never knowing how it feels to be at peace
Nothing will stay, nothing will stay
All I've cherished will run from my embrace
Nothing will stay, nothing will stay

8. Imprints

Hands of hesitation intersect and leave me dead
Sharpening their edges inches from my neck
Inhaling the uncertainty that hangs above my head
With portraits of my death carved into my chest

Running without feeling in our legs
We don't appreciate the cuts that we've collected
Drifting through a swarm of thorns
As our agony reminds us these scars were self-inflicted

I'll give you every second until I'm gone
I hate it here and never want to leave

I hoped this flame would burn forever
And I'll give you every second until I'm gone
Staring in the face of my own fate
I hate it here and never want to leave

The imprints I have left will surely fade
But the memories remind us we shared the same pain

I'll give you every second until I'm gone
I hate it here and never want to leave

I hoped this flame would burn forever
And I'll give you every second until I'm gone
Staring in the face of my own fate
I hate it here and never want to leave

I will incinerate myself
In my own circle of hell
A blind world won't read my lips
Though it might hear my faint farewell

I will incinerate myself
In my own circle of hell
A blind world won't read my lips
Though it might hear my faint farewell

All living things will starve
Cradled in complacency
Content inside the coffin I've created
I hate it here and never want to leave

9. Ocean of Another

Tear the tears out of my open eyes
For I no longer need to drown
In the ocean of another
Tear the tears out of my open eyes
Above a buried garden we've both lived in
And bring me back to life

I promised I'd be devoid of devotion
Until a blinding light could thaw me from my core
Shining between the lips of lacerations
As we compare the way that we burn to the sun

Throw yourself into the middle of my arms
And I swear I'll keep you safe
The scars that you keep secret were placed upon my limbs
And I would fill them in with my flesh if I could

I swear I'll keep you safe

Tear the tears out of my open eyes
For I no longer need to drown
In the ocean of another
Tear the tears out of my open eyes
Above a buried garden we've both lived in
And bring me back to life

Pull the nameless arrow from my chest
And exchange it with your own

Replace the hurt within me with a stare
That watches over me
When I allow myself to sleep

The scars that you keep secret were placed upon my limbs
And I would fill them in with my flesh if I could

Throw yourself into the middle of my arms
And I swear I'll keep you safe

Tear the tears out of my open eyes
For I no longer need to drown
In the ocean of another
Tear the tears out of my open eyes
Above a buried garden we've both lived in
To bring me back to life

10. Nothing Left To Love

I long to run
Hand in hand with angels
To feel the grace
Of shattered glass against my wrist

Did the mother of god cry for her son?
Will mine suffer the same before I'm gone?
The last thing I will see is my own face
As I float between two worlds

I long to run
Hand in hand with angels
To feel the grace
Of shattered glass against my wrist
Don't weep for me
I will shine brighter from above
To feel the need
For the first time as I leave

Did the mother of god cry for her son?
Even though she knew this day would come
Before I'm gone the stations of the cross
Serve as reminders of the closest things we've lost

(Nothing left to love)
Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?
Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?
Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?
Will you love me when there's nothing left to love?
Love me when there's nothing left to love?
Love me when there's nothing left to love?
Love me
When there's nothing left to love?

Nothing left to love
Nothing left to love
Nothing left to love
Nothing left to love
Nothing left to love
Nothing left to love
Nothing left to love
