RUE LYRICS

1. The Hardway

Crawling through falling through
Your self-made world of shit
Every second wonder of yourself
Is this it?
Loser forever failure
Disgusted by yourself
Your path since your birth
Ever spiral downward toward
Nothing save for your death
Awaiting the cold comfort of lifelessness
Just take it away another year by
Distant yet still dragging on me
Tearing away a part of me
Wearing away that part of me sinks to the bottom
Black as coal and silent as a grave
You won't draw breath in this place
In hell you're so convinced that you're dying
Unable to let this go and live
There is no perfect what do you want?
To be like everyone else faceless
Ground down into unmemorable dust
An all too familiar feeling
Betrayed by my body my honesty
Inexperience
Onward I trudge through this heartache
I'm still learning the hard way.

2. To Cancer

Through the course of this road
Working to separate us
Numb that way we grow
Older and colder
No more of the past
I can't see it
I can't fucking feel it
So much empty space
In front of me now
I will never know
The depths to which I'll never go
Seems like I can't even satisfy myself
A lifestyle destined to end up incomplete
In a way or many ways
Bigger better brighter than white light
Who really cares?
And who will survive?
Why do we try?
Am I thinking wrong?
These living hands we adorn with precious sentiment
Only before we knew if they start dying
Not long enough is the rest before the sleep
In this world you might as well concede to cancer.

3. Reek Of Human

I see a fire in the tower
And irony does ascend
Constrictive sensation
The reek of human
Blood is resolved
The end is so only
It does not discriminate
Justified the weak for the fallen
Who has won?
He will not be seen
Speed them along to feed the earth
Burn their cities not the trees
By the millions heaped into human landfills
And my how a wasted history does reek
Rising up to the heavens
Like lost souls discorporated
Your pavement can not stop me
I am the throw away
And you reek of a sad effort
Destined to fall short from the start
And it never ends so fuck it all
Separation rejection holding me down let me die
Leave me down to my bleeding black spleen
In my heart all that I will ever need.

4. Gates

Open the gates
It is time
I push back
The lies obstructive and holding me back
No longer will I lay down
My mind my body new rare form
Roiling circles of my poisoned blood
Roil
Everything against everything else
Pure and refined
My wake breaks up the surface
I've gathered all my tools and materials
To raise this monument of disdain
Burn in rings of dark dried blood
A world's upper echelon
Burn
Wide eyed open the gates
Even through I'm weary I'm not standing
On my last trembling legs
I'm a man and like a man
I walk on.
