EMBODYMENT LYRICS

1. Winter Kiss

lobby lines with stairs
rebuke the structure
kiss on the hand
fades to god's will
i would kill to see your face
lady in red
watch your surroundings
i'm going out on a limb
would kill to see your face
three weeks of torture brought me here
pass the moons
reject friendly envy
more on desire than principal
wish you here...

2. Pendulum

there's a hitch in the step
the tower is leading
grown a thousand years in a single heartbeat
ripped and torn at the seams
and he falters to his knees
clutching hands while in her dreams
sitting on weakness so that strength can stand
look to the future, caressing the name angels are watching, spreading their wings
rest, my love, ride on the wings of sacred prayers
aided by angelic force
ripped and torn at the seams

3. One Less Addiction

i fight this with two closed fists
under a purple sky
naked trees are clawing for the air
this won't pull on emotions
but it's something to do
go ahead, try it
if you dislike, refunds at the door
i always fell for the sucker punch
i confess the changes
maybe i'm growing up
from the shoes on my feet
to the stench in my mouth
i'll remain transparent
and while you speak in codes, i'll speak in spirit
i tasted, i did that, now i'm hooked

4. Greedy Hands

leave me greedy hands
destroyer of hopes and dreams
young judas, fall away
disrupt my silence
just sit back and be an american
it's gone, my innocence
fresh meat, children
swallow those close
it's gone, my innocence
thief in the night
do you even remember my name
it's gone, my innocence

5. Confessions

call me consumer
the entertainment hunter
i bit the hook
that i will never be good enough
i'm catching up to those around me
secure my uniform
babbet, i could use a kiss
they said i'm insecure
there's nothing new under the sun
fall in line, fall in line
believe the lie in hair clubs, fashion, gyms, cleansers and creams
one day we'll be the status quo
there's nothing new under the sun

6. Assembly Line Humans

assembly line, humans pumped with lies
line them up, load them tight
packed like cigarettes
a new committee to breed lukewarm souls
get off my back (please)
swallow your pride and gag
harriet tubman, will you set the captives free for the underground?
take long drags on yourself
with cracker-jack poses and smiles
another snubbed beneath your toe
get off my back (please)
swallow your pride and gag
harriet tubman, will you set the captives free for the underground?

7. Prelude

let the hands fall to the floor
allow these pupils to see organs
a telescopic view is almost arousing
no more holiness in denial
the trojan army is just a farce
reality is two weeks in the waiting
i'm not sure we're on the same page
habitual weakness stains the past
desire rolls over and waits for spring
i'm not sure we're on the same page
your eyes are lusting, my hands are tied
your mind conditioned, my heart has changed
i'm not sure we're on the same page

8. Killing The Me In Me

give a word of fragile optimism that this will be okay
bore down on gluttonous hands, regurgitated thoughts from my heart
this can only be the going under
this can only be killing the me in me
push and pull like the machines
the humans anthems are dying in me
i don't think a soul knows compromise like a soul mate
it sleeps with me
in my flesh i ask for a personal bleeding
the holy ghost has word with me
it comes in love, it comes with gentle hands that disinfect the sting for me
a whole is filled without the ring
instead a kiss, a kiss from the sun to try again

9. Critical Error

casualties of a non-war
shooting themselves in the feet
let me pray before you crush my heart
and you swear that you do this in god's name
stifling the psalms of the heart
take your hands off my throat, let me breathe
i'm suffocating
you slash my wrist
gave me a network
and devoured my art
broadcast worldwide healing those for a price
and you swear that you do this in god's name
stifling the psalms of the heart
casualties of a non-war
shooting themselves in the feet
let me pray before you crush my heart
let me breathe

10. Ballad

drench me in kisses
your breath consumes my pores
leave my heart in one
i swallow sunsets day by day
media makes me ill
previous desires have been slain
'cause all i want is you
your presence makes me child like
my soul's at heaven's gate
my curfew turns to stone
this repetition kills me
oh, please don't scorch my heart
i'm at a loss for words
please let this rose
speak for me
i love you, i need you, i want you
you give me strength to live
i feel like i'm ten feet tall
forget thoughts of closure
an addict for your love
a diamond is forever
as well my love for you
your face invades my dreams
please be my wife

11. One Less Addiction (Acoustic)

i fight this with two closed fists
under a purple sky
naked trees are clawing for the air
this won't pull on emotions
but it's something to do
go ahead, try it
if you dislike, refunds at the door
i always fell for the sucker punch
i confess the changes
maybe i'm growing up
from the shoes on my feet
to the stench in my mouth
i'll remain transparent
and while you speak in codes, i'll speak in spirit
i tasted, now i'm hooked.

12. The Aftermath Of Closure

step into the circle
blush the tears away
find joy in completion
i've fulfilled my vow
it's all been said, but chew on this
i offered my heart
the family is waiting
we'll now give thanks have you been through this?
It's all been said, but chew on this
some may fall to the wayside
forget nameless monkeys
our souls always moving
icons we'll be
it's all been said, but chew on this
