THE ACACIA STRAIN LYRICS

1. Human Disaster

Rest in piss
Clutch your heart
Breathe in dirt
Rest in piss
Enough food for the rats to feast
No goodbye
No farewell
Rest in piss
You tainted the water
The world would tray you like a martyr
Fucking waste of time
You deserve to die
Liars lye
No chance to say goodbye
No fingerprints,
No face.
Gone without a trace
Their air is refreshing
Pulling out your intestines
Lips on the dirt
Blessed by the worm
Swallow your teeth
Drown in your tears,
Lose yourself in sleep.
Surrender to your fears
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Glad you died happy
Happy you died
Last gasps from a shallow grave
Soak up the dirt
Pushing up daisies

2. Cauterizer

I saw the sun collapse upon itself
there is no use,
don't cry for help.
there is no solace here
run in terror
hide in fear
we are all marked for death
fight off the swarm as you struggle to stay warm
no mercy for you and no time left to mourn
forever dusk
as you choke on toxic dust
struggle to survive
no one is lucky to be alive
As we all disconnect from the scum they ingest
arranged to deploy
equipped to destroy
we were born to be unloved
let the seas run red with blood
sorrow
hope and pray for no tomorrow
it doesn't have to be like this
blink your eyes you don't exist
the earth will swallow us whole
we are the orphans of a deathbed mother
when the night took her final breath
Beneath the gloom the pestilence we'll suffer
continue on into the arms of death
surrender to the shroud
no warning
no countdown
all will burn beneath the shadow of the cloud
surrender to the shroud

3. Send Help

Cities will burn as you fall to your knees
I will inhale the dust of my enemies
Watch from my throne as I sit up high
They scream as they burn
I laugh as they die
I am the hunger of the void
Swallowed by nothingness,
Prepare to be destroyed.
I hate the man who I have become
I keep the world under my thumb
Constantly crushing the ones I say I love
I cant stop killing
Hair clogged the drain as the house began to flood
Three days passed before they noticed the blood
Goodbye
No one cried
No one to love
Covered in blood
I will be the judge
No mourners
No family
Dead to the world and dead to me
Frozen breath
Bleeding to death
Slowly shiver as I separate skin from bone
You deserve to be miserable
I’ll pull the voice from your fucking throat

4. Holy Walls Of The Vatican

I am a nonbeliever
I would shit on Virgin Mary if she ever let me see her
I am a nonbeliever
Weakness is asking forgiveness from your father
Pray for rapture because you lack a spine
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
This building is condemned
I have nothing but contempt
You have 20 days to vacate the premises it ought to be a crime
It’s your god or your goddamn mind
Tear it down or I’ll burn it to the ground
I tried playing god, but I ceased to exist
I have no soul
I am soulless read no bibles,
Worship no false idols.
Unborn jesus, abort the holy fetus.
On your knees
Worship the beast
The goat will be greeted with the swarming of bees
I am the fear
I am the light
I am the nothing
Body of Christ
Hear them pray
Hallelujah, you wont be saved
Throwing rocks through the windows of your shrine
I will bathe in the blood of Christ
You would sacrifice your first born to avoid a pit of fire
You call me a heretic, I call you a liar

5. VVorld Demise

[Written by Vincent Bennett and Brendan Garrone]

Terror birds scavenge the land for scraps
Horror building as the world begins to collapse
Earthquakes shake the ground loose from its base
Ridding the planet from its greatest disgrace

[Chorus]
World demise
Built upon your lies
Planetary collapse
The falling of the axe

The hive travels alone to feed on the dying and pick off the weak
Nowhere is their home
The broken and bleeding are the ones that they seek
They are the rulers of the night
Darkness keep us from the light

[Chorus]
World demise
Built upon your lies
Planetary collapse
No chance for turning back

All life must end, all life must end
Your prayers are worthless, no need to repent, all life must end
The sickness reaches the water supply
As the sun falls from the sky
I can never die

6. Nailgun

I poisoned the rat
Left her dying on her back
She had no plague or sickness left to give
I had no reason to let her live
Open wounds have no stories to tell
Walking corpses
Living dead shell
I gutted the pig
No funeral plans, no graves to dig
A plague of snakes
No pity for your fucking mistakes
Dead eyes
Buried bodies used for fertilizer
Always a liar,
I fucking despised her.
Mind of a snake,
Mouth of a pig.
Slither in your swill swallowing shit
I've never seen vermin with such smooth skin
Put lipstick on a pig and it’s still a fucking pig
I noticed you wanted to run
That’s when you noticed the gun
I guarantee that won’t make you any safer
Sayonara – see you later
On the clearest of days
Not a cloud in the sky
I cut off her beautiful face with a broken kitchen knife
No blood,
No tears,
No stress.
All smiles
You didn’t survive
She didn’t survive
Her hair smelled like burning leaves
Execution
On your fucking knees
So blind
Losing my mind
So weak
No sympathy

7. Graveyard Shift

I cut out her tongue when she said my name
My eyes are open but I am not awake
They found the knife buried deep inside her
The sky seems higher
The sun seems brighter
Black and blue broken bloodied and bruised
Just like a dream from which you never wake up
I am in hell
Trapped inside myself
Ignorance is bliss
And there is freedom in carelessness
I sleep,
But I refuse so dream.
Don’t you ever pray for me
Coming apart at the seams
There is no good inside of me
One day a storm will come and wash away the weak
Someday death will come and wake me from this sleep
We are defined by the burdens we keep
The burden I see is the burden of sleep
I am still in hell
Trapped inside myself
Regret unconsciousness as we spiral into the abyss
She told me she wanted to meet the reaper
I had only done her a favor
She didn’t deserve to die
But I deserved to kill her
Grinding my teeth to dust
Prison bars have begun to rust
On the line between living and dead,
As your eyes roll back into your head.
This fog will never lift
Wide awake in nothingness
A mountain of torture a waits
I’ll see you at the pearly gates

8. Bridgepainter

Every time I get behind the wheel
I tell myself I hope I die in here
Spend your time reliving my past
Time doesn’t last
Life moves fast
Thankful just to be alive
Spent a year wishing I hadn’t survived
The lights in the sky went out
The fire took the whole house
Nothing but silence;
Darkness from here on out
I would rather fall apart than break
Say farewell before you depart
No soul
No heart
I am growing extra teeth
I only see her when I sleep
I hope you’re there when I fall
These eyes see all
No resurrection
Pro-dissection
Covered in red
The knife was in my hand
The body is willing,
The spirit is damned.
This is a nightmare come true
They say you cant tale it with you
I’m making you with me
You will fucking burn with me

9. Whale Shark

There are no heroes among us
I will live in the shade of the colossus
As old as time
Scratching the sky
I cant fall asleep
Suffer eternally
The world outside is dead to me
Sometimes dead is better
Disrespect
Ignorance
Disconnect
Face neglect
Speaking is silver,
Silence is gold.
I hope I die before I get old
Made it ma, top of the world
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore
I told myself I would never surrender
Ships have sailed, ties are severed
I’d say I care but I don’t really mean it
Fuck this shit
I quit
I’m just a guy, and I don’t fucking care but I don’t really mean it
Fuck this shit
I quit
I’m just a guy, and I don’t fucking care if you live or die
Your memory does not mean shit to me
Deal with the god damn truth in reality

10. Delusionalisphere

Don’t preach to me
Your words are hollow
Beauty is deep,
But the mind is shallow
Born to lead,
But destined to follow
Bathe in the darkness
Shower in the shadow
Eyes are open
Mind is broken
Drown in the vomit,
Let it soak in.
Shower in the shadow
Eyes are open
Mind is broken
Drown in the vomit,
Let it soak in
Candlelight vigil
There is no evil
I want to be the devil
Subjugated and never subversive
Try to put some thought into your fucking words
Neutral fanfare where nobody wins
I still believe in all your sins
I wish there was a hell so you could be there to rot
I wish there a god so I could slit his fucking throat
I went to your funeral and nobody came
I only showed up to piss in your grave
Along with my mistakes
Cant tell if I’m asleep or awake
Weight on my chest
Nothing left, eternal rest
The lies you spoke won’t die with me
I wrote them down for all to see
There is no great mystery
You’re digging for gold in an old rotten oak tree

11. The Observer

Instead of fighting
The sickness she is
You become the disease
Give your life to the witch [4x]

“You look in their eyes, even in a picture, doesn't matter if they're dead or alive, you can still read 'em. You know what you see? They welcomed it... not at first, but... right there in the last instant. It's an unmistakable relief. See, cause they were afraid, and now they saw for the very first time how easy it was to just... let go.
Yeah, they saw, in that last nanosecond, they saw... what they were. You, yourself, this whole big drama, it was never more than a jerry rig of presumption and dumb will, and you could just let go. To finally know that you didn't have to hold on so tight. To realize that all your life, all your love, all your hate, all your memories, all your pain, it was all the same thing. It was all the same dream, a dream that you had inside a locked room, a dream about being a person. And like a lot of dreams, there's a monster at the end of it.”

“Remember the old days... How everything used to be? We used to be so happy. I miss that. I miss us. How normal it used to be. You and I used to smile so much... Look at all that water. I love the ocean because it reminds me of all the wonderful times we used to have here. The sounds and the sights, and the smell, it just makes me so happy. All of those memories and feelings help me live. The hope that maybe everything will be like they used to be gives me a reason to wake up in the morning.
I don’t dream anymore. I know a lot of people say that but I really don’t. It’s hard to dream when everything you used to dream about is a nightmare. I don’t know. I’m sorry. Sometimes I still cling to that memory, hoping. You always look the same while you’re asleep. It’s like reliving an old memory. So calm, so peaceful, almost happy. It reminds me of the old me, the one I thought I knew before all this. I’m not a stranger to these feelings. Loneliness, emptiness, anger. But I thought we worked through them. I thought we defeated them, together. Instead they stand in defiance in the back of my mind slowly inching their way forward again.
When’s this going to stop? Tell me. Please tell me. Say you’ll make it better again. I miss the way it was. The way things were. I would rather die than know that I will never relive those moments again. Because this isn’t living, this isn’t anything at all. I would rather die.”

She pulls you deeper from the world
As you gasp your final breath
Say goodbye to the world
And face your fate
That's worse than death

She is the one you see
When you close your eyes
Spreader of fear
Paralyzer of lies
Gasping me for words and explodeing your heart
Where is the distance alone in the dark?

[2x]
Give your life to the witch
Surrender your last breath to the witch

“But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that... but you have no right to judge me. It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror... Horror has a face... and you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies!”

Frozen to the bed
The terror in my mind
She calls out to me
I cannot scream
I leave the world behind
I cannot scream [3x]

Bury me in a nameless grave [4x]
