1. The Curtain Hits The Cast

The walls come crashing inward
We bleed from an open wound
We feed upon the broken
Saturated with fears
As were stricken by years
Stare idle to lifeless oceans

I won't be defined by failures
Of the hypnotized
Fade into desperation
Cast out and ostracized
The rapture so relentless

[Chorus:]
From the mouths of serpents falling
I watched tomorrow die
All hope is buried in the past

Bleed for the absolution
Desire tears at the will
I can't be forced to empathize with the masses
The son of apathy

I won't be defined by failures
Of the hypnotized
Fade into desperation
Cast out and ostracized
The rapture so relentless

[Chorus]

So look down the end of a barrel
Pray for an escape
Before the curtain hits the cast

Grieve for the death of creation
While you bleed for the depth or your illusion


2. Narcosis

Submit to the numbness of narcotic sleep
It dulls my eyes and dilates under the expanse of grey skies
The dark comes to surface
In my dreams the world burns
Falling like prisms
Turned numb to the pain

Like my father spit on me
Tell me how worthless I am

As daylight filters leaves
She wept so many tears for me
Of desperation

Forgive me father
Forsaken have been left to die

The walking dead surround me
The hubris of our shame
Sleepwalkers and the lemmings of modern day

...and I'm sorry I always pushed you away
Please let me go

Cradled in its grip with a gun up to my head
Stomach aches
Skin is white
I'm always back for more

[Chorus]

You wanted to live
Time lapsed while I couldn't breathe (couldn't breathe)
Inspiration has died (you cannot open my eyes)
...and nothing makes me feel alive
(for years of the torment left covered in shame)
Time lapsed while I couldn't breathe
(cut from your pride, born from your pain)
As we slowly fade away
In the end your all buried to me

If callous hearts collide
Could I re-open the wounds left scarred?
To let those emotions bleed
Of the ghost that's left of me

[Chorus]
