1. Calling
Moonlight burns my face
as I awake
where I did not intend to sleep
The fields soaked with blood
They still smell my flesh.
The crowds are calling, calling me.
The crowds are calling me.
As I arise, and run from this, I cannot help but collapse.
The calling.
They shelter me.
I'm coming down, and down again.
Down.
Moonlight burns my face
as I awake
where I did not intend to sleep
2. Eyes Open
Beyond the waking horizon
Eyes are open
A funeral waits for me
Embracing it
And some of us close our eyes up
Eyes are open
Because we’re afraid to see
To see
Burn, embrace it
Darkness
Embrace it
Brace it
3. Sacrament
Sitting in front of the whole assembly
I grow tired and sick
As my lips touch the blood and my teeth the flesh
I have lied again
The lost abandoned
I know, I know, the pain can make you patiently shut down
Sitting in front of the whole assembly
I grow tired and sick
As my lips touch the blood and my teeth the flesh
I have lied again
I wait for you to run
The sinking feeling must be severed
4. Trip The Landmine
Lost among the fever
All I can do to keep myself awake
Walls around the center
We’re running out of time
To make these cities move
As the water drips from my brow
I know I am dreaming
I walk around it, I'm only dreaming
Bring it down
Bleed and I burn, walk away
Focusing the lens
Around your faceless abundances
I bleed I bleed I burn this time
I Sink the burden
Raise your fingers
Trip the landmine
5. Pathways
Tearing at the body
Ripping at the limps
Appendages are bleeding
Falling to the ground
This is me
I've always said so
You waste your time for something greater
Our lives are moving pathways
6. Bittersweet
Look at my disaster
Look at me I’m apprehensive with every breath I take
Thinking this comes easy
There’s no answer to a reason that never had a rhyme
As I walk across the
Across the broken bones of those I have slain
I can see the ending
I can see the end in sight but the cycle starts again
So why won’t you lay with me, my bittersweet sanctioned melody
My movements held captive
It’s captivating how we shutter in the face of it
My intentions struggle looking forward to the faucet
to wash away the blood
Oh no, oh god, I cannot believe I’ve let it slip away from this again
So why won’t you lay with me, my bittersweet sanctioned melody
Come alive, breathe
And liberate the hearts of our wicked nation
And childish minds
Slow down the beating process of our endeavors
Just strengthen our demeanor
Slow down the beating process of our endeavors
And come within the light
7. Call It Correct
All your comfort striped away
All your dreams shattered
All that you have believed in is gone
So tell me something, so tell me am I looking in?
So tell me something, are we just over thinking it?
Slowly step across the field of flowers
Trying to breath life into your poisoned lungs
Will you believe me as i correct this?
All your comfort striped away
All your dreams shattered
All that you have believed in is gone
Commanded to keep us all inside the dotted lines
8. End
We walk over fire choking on the ashes that we have left
The sun will burn out
The earth will flood
One is the answer and one is the other
What is the answer?
I see it coming left for me
Rot and decay the skin and bones will rot and decay
The famine destroys masses
9. Ocean Currents
Walking across the ocean floor
I feel the currents carry me away
there is no fire
carry me to the surface
10. Cornered
You can lead a horse to water
But you can’t pull it under
Caught, for lack of a better word
These times will make us stronger
You push yourself
There’s no one else anyway
You push yourself
To prove yourself
To this world
Will they walk among us
I’m speaking honestly
Do they shred the splinters of our security
No faking meanings
This is abundancy
The purest fashion is overtaking
Just another reason why it’s faultered
So put a face with the problem and lie down
