MEMENTO LYRICS

1. Nothing Sacred

Since water of the womb
I knew I'd have to face you
The colour of my bites
Yes they remind me of you
In your blood I write
I am not afraid
This is who I am
And I will never be like you
I do not kneel
All Im asking
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Sailing through the flood
Why did he keep two of you
Splinter in your mind's eye
My Phoenix rises to swoop
Still floating in the gray water of your womb
Take the edge of my thumbs
Bury the nails deep into your eyes
Maybe then you'll see my light
I'd rather crawl, drooling with the beggars
They've got more to say

2. Saviour

We tried so hard to erase you
We tried so hard to pretend you were dead
I walked the earth just to escape you
Now I walk the earth just to touch you again
Come on down, my saviour, my failure
To save myself I betrayed you
These swollen lips whisper only for revenge
To spite myself I betrayed you
If I stop the lies, will I see you in the end?
Swimming through the red
Nothing up ahead
I cannot buy a friend
I just came here to tell you
I miss you
Come on down, my saviour, my failure
My saviour, I failed you

3. Beginnings

What have you done?
Yes I'm talking to you
Your only sonthe one you dressed in nails
I know how hard it is for you to show
Show your love
For your love I take
The nails and thorns
That will never be enough
Still I beg and crawl
For your God-damned love
I've just begun
To understand your ways
You need blood
So no one goes away
I know how hard it is for you to show
Turn the other cheek again
Will I?
Maybe let me in this time
Show your love
For your love I take
The nails and thorns
That will never be enough
Still I beg and crawl
For father and son
I'm your son
For your God-damned love

4. Shell

Crawl away into the shell you put yourself in
Crawl away, I watched you crawl away
Not one set of footprints in this burning sand
It fell away, I watched it fall away
Who am I in your eyes?
How does it feel?
How does it feel your asking
I cant heal, I cant feel you anymore
I'll never kneel
Never kneel before you
How can I heal
When there's blood still on the floor?
In a vacuum screaming
Hope was not in season
Please hear me, someone hear me
If I could you know I'd take your place my friend
"not again", yes I'll carry you again
Who am I in your eyes?
Hold on

5. Abyss

Never will you find the reasons
Sand is just a broken stone
Love it changes with the seasons
In the dark I read the lines upon your hand
Junkies, intellects and preachers
All addicted to your clans
Caged by ribs sits the believer
With less friends than fingers on one hand
When silence speaks free
When no ones home
When cold and lucid
When bruised and torn
Look into your abyss
Nothing tastes like this
Look into....
Is what you see here what you wanted?
No soft lens, no violins
Like the gray eyes of a dead man
The mirror always stares
I've got a little riddle in my head
What's the little riddle in your head?
Look into your abyss

6. Below

In this gray harbour of tears we are capsising
Still waters belie the current that drags us down
Without a sun shallow waters can only be black
As cold and as weathered as the leaves
That clog your dead mouth
What the fuck is wrong with us people?
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Looking down your nose judging me fucker
Looking down your nose from the same mother
Looking down your nose, judge, judge fucker
As we sink below
Could you have walked on water with two led feet?
This epiphany reached whilst breathing through a straw
Conscience is the only weak link in my ball and chain
I've been making excuses for things I've done to myself
What the fuck is wrong with us people?
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Down, down, down down down
Can I be?
Can I be all of these people at once?can I please all of you parasites at once?
Can I be all of these people at once?
Can I be?
I cannot be.

7. Reflections

8. Blister

River inside me
Like mud it flows
Eyes burning brightly
The creaking of the door
Was it the bastard cousin of Jesus?
Does he sit at your right hand?
Was it the jealous touch of the devil?
Or was he God inside a man
Every mother is a whore
Every father is a war
Hallelujah
You take any port in a storm
Any road that gets you home
Hallelujah
Holding on tightly
Howling at the moon
I know she heard you crying
As he put a blister in your womb
Did it hurt more letting him in
Or giving birth to a sin?

9. Coming

He's coming, he's coming, he's coming
Counting on some one on one with you
Connecting all the dots, guess who
Invisible but with you in the room
Just know that he's coming for you
There is no me and you
You are still dead to me
Coming out of hibernation
The shivers and the tingles in your spine
The dirty pins and needles in your eyes
Look into the keyhole of your mind
Just know that I'm coming for you
I forgot to forgive
I'm forgetting to live
I forgot to forgive you

10. Stare

On her death bed
Staring at the moon
Serenity devoured by the demons in bloom
She said
"I wish I could see heaven father but I have sinned
These are cracks within my bones
These are bruises on my skin
Am I right am I wrong
Give one reason to go on
I wish I was your perfect ten
I wish I could transcend
Do you just stare?
Would you take my hand?
Do you just stare?
Please take my hand
Don't just stare
You've shown no mercy
You've watched my pain
A gift-wrapped nothing is all you ever gave
A daughter cries
A brother runs
A mother screams in twisted tongues
A father hangs his head in shame
No one left to blame
Soon
She's gone so soon

11. Figure 8

Beginning at the end of the beginning of the end
Twisting and turning between one and ten
The puzzle never ends make your demons your friends
It's the beginning of a road that leads right back to the
Beginning of the end.....
Living in my machine
Pulses beneath gray skin
Torso deep in unanswered whys
Let your habit anesthetise
Letting the insects in
Beggars that breed within
Swing from your chain, enjoy your ride
Just a blind man swimming against the tide
Two circles, one cycle, a figure of 8
Where loves becomes hate
Beginning at the end of the beginning of the endtwisting and turning inside you
Denial becomes you
Make your demons your friends
Flying with your noxious wings
Crying through your toxic lens
Denial betrayed you
Make your demons your friends
Inner anomaly
Where self slaughter is peace
Mutating into a silver whale
Beaching yourself to spite the grail
Turning from fish to frog
Come sleep with my dead God
Calluses bloom on the hand of grace
The snake is sleeping, dreaming of Eve's face
Two circles, one cycle, a figure of 8
Where the trap is the escape
Cognition is prison, cognition is prison
Birth, life, death, rust
Feed this cruel lust
Cognition is prison, cognition is prison
Goodbye, I hope to see you in another life
Goodnight, I know I'll see you from a clearer sky
No pain, no blame
Just a naked and a loving eye
Goodbye
Love goes on
I hope you all enjoyed your ride
Love goes on
I hope we find ourselves in time
I don't need your mantra
I don't need your crosses
I don't need to hold on
I don't need to let go
If my eyes are black
You'll just have to find me
Careful where you look
You'll end up where I am
The end of the beginning, the beginning of the end
Twisting and turning between one and ten
The puzzle never ends, make your demons your friends
It's the end of a road that leads right back to
The beginning....
