WIDOW SUNDAY LYRICS

1. Like Clockwork

Once again another sleepless night deciding what to do
My bloodshot eyes will only see me descend into a haze
The days all seem to blur together
Can't tell which ones are real

Every night as I lie awake, the thoughts return; it all repeats
Take me now I can't stand this place.
Take me somewhere I won't feel this way

Round and round the cycle turns 'til I'm right back at the start
Every time I think I've won, that I've finally passed this test
I return to the same place that I left
But this won't be the end of me

Every night as I lie awake, the thoughts return; it all repeats
Take me now I can't stand this place.
Take me somewhere I won't feel this way

I don't need another hole in my head. The one I've got will do just fine.

When's my chance, my time to breathe?

Every night as I lie awake, the thoughts return; it all repeats
Take me now I can't stand this place.
Take me somewhere I won't feel this way

2. The Emergence

First light, a new war starts inside my mind
A battle for the will to wear my mask and face the day
Hide behind the mask of someone who has met their match,
A beaten broken cog inside the wheel of the machine
I believe that they don't have control of me
I alone control my future, fate and destiny
The beast within is tearing at my outer being
And thus released, I relent, it begins devouring the dark

Be the explosion that shatters the world,
Breaking through the weakened flesh sustained by the old
If there's nothing worth saving, why do I fight?
Each bead of sweat, each drop of blood
I fight for my life!

Each and every one of us was given a gift,
The will to sustain and the strength to resist
Divided by the conflict that defines our days
Your weakness only strengthens all that we have attained.

Now is the time to make my mark
Annihilation of that empty shell

Be the explosion that shatters the world,
Breaking through the weakened flesh sustained by the old
If there's nothing worth saving, then why do I fight?
Each bead of sweat, each drop of blood
I fight for my life!

Be the explosion that shatters the world,
Breaking through the weakened flesh sustained by the old
If there's nothing worth saving, why do I fight?
Each bead of sweat, each drop of blood
I fight for my life!

3. Cinders

Corruption, brutality. Force fed lies of purity.
Servant to the great machine, twisted by your own disease.
Rhetoric regurgitate, make yourself feel justified
Forcing those who've seen the truth to use our calloused weak minds

A trigger finger leader opened the abyss
A junkie's fix to take and dominate

We will devour everything within sight
Spreading like a cancer and consuming the light
'Reap what we sow' will be our demise
Laughing in our misery while we're burning the skies

Slaughterhouse for weakened men convinced they can see the end
From a distance you feel safe
Watch your world disintegrate
Blind us to the waves of fire.
Ignorance is perfect bliss.

A junkie's fix to take and dominate

We will devour everything within sight
Spreading like a cancer and consuming the light
'Reap what we sow' will be our demise
Laughing in our misery while we're burning the skies

Emptiness will breed malevolence
No remorse for the fallen and used
Mountains leveled and the oceans to ash
The cinders of this dying world

Watch your world disintegrate; the cinders of a dying world

4. Chrysalis

Take me from this blackened state before I break and fall away
This body only takes so much.
Use the fear to keep me focused

How has this become my life?
This selfish hell

My mind won't accept the truth
Am I strong enough to keep you safe?
I don't know

I have felt the darkest thoughts grinding my brain into dust
Every other word I speak laced with anger and disgust

And then I see your face and it's surrounded by light
The sum of my love is alive in your eyes
This angel, the proof there is more I can be
The change, the fire you've ignited in me

New life granted
Your protector
I will crush all your detractors

I have felt the darkest thoughts grinding my brain into dust
Every other word I speak laced with anger and disgust

And then I see your face and it's surrounded by light
The sum of my love is alive in your eyes
This angel, the proof there is more I can be
The change, the fire you've ignited in me

5. Eyes of the Gorgon

When our eyes connected; determined to love.
Everything was perfect, all I wanted to see
But soon infatuation turned into repulsion
And only made me realize I was better without you.

I look at you, you think of him
How long before you disappear?

I couldn't fuck you hard enough to save my life
I hope all the others taste better than mine

I hesitate, then the hatred all comes flooding back.
I am done hoping you will change someday.
This charade, has strengthened what I thought was lost.
It ends today.
Your blackened eyes won't ever turn me to stone.

At first the signs were subtle, then they started to show
I should have seen this coming; I know what you are
You had so infected me I thought you were real
Your actions speak louder than your screams ever will

I look at you, you think of him
How long before you will disappear?

Every day, in every way. So deceived and so betrayed.

Hide behind that little smile.
The one you used to fool all the others
You little slut,
Couldn't keep 'em closed long enough to get me out the door
I'm fucking done. I've seen enough.
I can't wait to take your head

I hesitate, then the hatred all comes flooding back.
I am done hoping you will change someday.
This charade, has strengthened what I thought was lost.
It ends today.
Your blackened eyes won't ever turn me to stone.
