MISERY SIGNALS LYRICS

1. Face Yourself

You brought this on yourself
The lack of a barrel forced into your mouths
Proves your actions won't be without retribution
Break down
Bloodshed, a sign of weakness
Just know you'll get what you deserve

Who do you think that you are?
Barring your teeth like the smile of the one with a blade in his sleeve
The thorns that line your back are all it took to slit the arms that took you in
Just who do you think that you are?
Suicide king dying to be seen
An image to build, cover you up
The damage is done
Just let them fight fight fight
So they never have to face themselves

40 days, it will all be over
You'll vanish with the flood
Bloodshed, a sign of weakness
Just know you'll get what you deserve

Who do you think that you are?
Barring your teeth like the smile of the one with a blade in his sleeve
The thorns that line your back are all it took to slit the arms that took you in
Just who do you think that you are?
Suicide king dying to be seen
An image to build, cover you up
The damage is done
Just let them fight fight fight
So they never have to face themselves

Before you're too far gone
What will it take to drop your arms and learn
It's not too late
Burdened with the weight of your disguise, you'll sink like a stone
And collapse from neglect with the rest of your unknowns
Face yourself
Coward you can't face yourself
Coward you can't face yourself

You know it never fit, so come on
What will it take, to drop your arms and learn
It's not too late for giving up and letting go, growing up
Before you are you're too far gone

2. The Failsafe

Breaking dawn will bring revenge
We should know by now
We're so sick
It was building up and no one was watching
We're running out of darkened corners to sweep the waste into
In our distracted focus no one had a chance
When we lined up at the edge
We were open wide
Like fools, waiting for a sign

It was a free fall
An act of desperation, our backs against the wall
It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation, down we go
As we all went blind, like an answer to the call of our outstretched hands
The hell be beckon crept inside
The vultures circling overhead
Starving to pick the skeletons we leave
On the eve of the end
As the world around us burns, the ashes shall rain
Somehow we still beg
Give us a sign

Dawn brings revenge

Patience won't mend the broken
Promise of something greater
The cables wrapped around out throat
Tonight pitch red cast over
Senses adrift, I lay me down
Plague wraps its arms around me
Down we go

It was a free fall
An act of desperation, our backs against the wall
It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation, down we go
When we lined up at the edge
We were open wide
Like fools, waiting for a sign

3. Post Collapse

Forever reaching
Our hopes and aspirations ground to dust
I've fallen with my spirits
Of withered hand and hope
This hole will dig itself with minutes passing
Reincarnate deliverance that was once possessed
I've seen this in my dreams, in this day; Reality
But I'm wrapped around a time so far removed
This weight bestowed on me today uplifting

Now together, we are one

At peace in our disbelief
The ties that bind are now threadbare
It doesn't have to end to begin again
It doesn't have to end to begin again
I've seen this in my dreams, in this day; reality
But I'm wrapped around a time so far removed
This weight bestowed on me today it's uplifting
Now I fear no falter, there is no doubt
We climb out from the wreck to live again

Now together, we are one

At peace in our disbelief
The ties that bind are now threadbare
Take hold these words of fallen heroes
Whose lives pave the way to our redemption
Lest we forget

4. Migrate

The worst is over
We went the fast way out
You can see the marks left on my clothes
From where she came undone
You want me to hurt like you, to shadow the pain
Away with my sympathy
And the comforts I abused
Away with dishonesty
And my manufactured truth
I don't care, I just don't

And winter came to hide the sun behind the gray
And erase her
What's done is done
My warmth has gone
Carried by the birds of fall
I don't care, I just don't
It doesn't feel like anything
And winter came to hide the sun behind the gray
And devastate her
What's done is done is done

5. One Day I'll Stay Home

I surrender whole to one
Night by night, day by day
The blur of cities twisting us to severance
Your static voice over a thousand satellite hours
In Chrysalis my darling
Until our time
I'll flood my eyes in light
The road underfoot is certain to become the road behind
One day I'll stay home

Confide in me, this is my promise
This is and has to be
Never fraction or ephemeral
The gift of self, given completely
The way I will be given to you

From everything I've chosen to stray
But never with contempt
For every mile a moment missed
My absence not in vain
This choice is passion, this path is tension
I feel the pressure clenching me
This is now and not forever
Until our time
My ears will ring
The road underfoot is certain to become the road behind
One day I'll stay home
Night by night, day by day

Confide in me, this is my promise
This is and has to be
Never fraction or ephemeral
The gift of self, given completely
The way I will be given to you
Until our time my ears will ring
Until our time I'll flood my eyes

6. Something Was Always Missing, But It Never Was You

Resist
We've come too far to start this all again
I've come too far to let you ruin me
I'll walk hand in hand with your ghost
Before I fall into your net again
There's no turning back
What can be said that I haven't already learned in silence
There's no turning back
What can be done that you haven't already stained in violence?
We are beyond repair

In essence of letting go of what you try to defend
Asking questions has you tangled in knots
You can't untie a rope without both ends
Frayed words lie with broken bones
As broken dreams reside in broken homes

A witness to my actions of love and regret
These verses, my vengeance - I hope you're happy
It's worth it to watch you choke on my words

7. Reverence Lost

My eyes eclipse as these stars constrict
And swallow me whole
Dislocate with your pretentious hands
Reciprocate through seeds of change
Deviate with feet of innocence, perceived through premonition
Times have changed
But still these words, your words remain

My eyes eclipse
Now I'm reduced to holding onto every regret
And the night sky has taken hold of me
Through clouds so black
A silhouette projects catastrophe
Your sky will fall

Fugitive night, the dawn will break
As true paths are rarely unveiled by means of shadows cast
This is the only way for me to reach behind this facade

Dissonance, unstable frequencies
Reiterate through sleight of hand
Corrosion, conviction slips away
Perceived through premonition
Times have changed
But still these words, your words remain

With the night sky, you've lost your hold on me
Your hands so black
A silhouette projects catastrophe
Your sky will fall

Take the tragedy you've earned
Asphyxiate - Suffocate

8. Sword Of Eyes

There is no one on the air
I chase parading ghosts in burning memory
Through empty shells of stolen moments
As all the stains are reassuring us
That they happened
Poring over fragments found, lost in portrayal
Reflected back unto ourselves
I've been reduced to a faded impression
Attention paid, critical
These elements, they fail to align
I realize this is passing
Do they become something more
Under the surface of an image paralyzed
As we become nothing
Spectral trails echo on the air
Aperture set
Projected whispers through the empty shells of stolen moments pouring over
Look back, our illusion is the abstract trail of time behind

And I give myself to the truth
Flesh fed to the piranhas
Liar's blood it falls into water
Where only the wayer survives
I'll stare into my own false eyes
And watch the life in them die

The past will lay dead
When the present is slain by the sword of eyes
Watch these words run silent, run deep, run together
You can't have it back
You can never have it back

9. An Offering To The Insatiable Sons Of God (Butcher)

Butcher
Give us all you've got
Give us anything at all
Throw everything that's real
Into this bottomless abyss
Butcher
How much will you consume and how much will you take away?

How much is too much?

10. Anchor

Through churning waters and midnight skies
This ship has sailed one too many times
To reach a land of dreams
Where no sole nor soul has set
Where footprints leave no name
Time and time again this attempt has failed
You were my anchor

And I am chained to everything I tried to leave behind

Through heartfelt waters and crystal skies
We won't prevail
Time and time again this ship has sailed
And time and time again this attempt has failed
My attempts have failed
You were my anchor

These eyes, they long for light
So I can see the truth that lies
You always told me this ship would never sail
But I will be washed away
With all my strength I'll blow this sail
With all my strength I'll wash away
I will be washed away

11. Mirrors

Lose control
You find yourself pulling out eyes from the room
Attention, your addiction
It's destroying everything, this steadfast fixation
Still my satisfaction is found in your submissive hands

Beautiful, the life you drove through me
Through this wall of glass
Piercing rays fueled the radiance in your eyes
Pulling me closer, defying all reason
Until a night so disconnecting stole it away
And now these screams do nothing but fasten you to this prison I designed
Lose control, find yourself, lose control
To be destroyed is a choice you'll have to make

Violent, the life you drove through me
Through this wall of glass
Piercing rays fueled the radiance in your eyes
Pulling me closer, defying all reason

Let it out, Shed this skin, Break away
Denial is catching up, illusion is caving in
Exactly what did you expect?
The harm is hiding
Knowing only your simplicity, knowing nothing
Upon the great divide
You see it your own way
No wisdom across the shallow glass
A captive god
You look over a deadened face
Features sink like a skull
So familiar yet so far away

I see now
I see now there is a choice to make
We could be any one, I see now
We turn over, we redefine this reflection
This is a need that we learn like a new limb
There is a choice to make
We will lie in our graves

A hall of mirrors opens into a room full of me
I could be anyone, we could be anyone
There is a choice to make, I see now
We turn over, we redefine this reflection
There is a choice to make
We will lie in our own graves
