We’re just a memory
I cannot remember anything of how we used to be
Now there’s nothing to hold on to
I cannot get it out of my mind
It’s right in front of me
I let this happen every time
Just let go of me
Love disappears
We used to feel so real
We used to feel like home
Incinerate
I’m screaming in the dark
You left me here alone
You knock me down with every word
I never meant to hurt you
You cut me down with every word
A practiced mystery
I can not remember anything of who I used to be
Now I waste away my weekends
I can not stand it anymore
Can’t die fast enough
I come back begging you for more
I’m in a choke hold
Love disappears
We used to feel so real
We used to feel like home
Incinerate
I’m screaming in the dark
You left me here alone
You cut me down with every word
I never meant to hurt you
You cut me down with every word

I don’t know where it all went wrong
And, I don’t know why I’m hanging on
Then you breathe
Let it be
Then your pain will recede
You will learn time again
Bend your will
Serpentine
Why can’t I hear it
Why can’t I say it
Why can’t I speak it
Why don’t I feel a thing
I waited (whatcha’ waiting for)
In vain (suffocating me)
On bated (why ya’ waiting)
Breath
What did you learn?
Save your breath!
We begin at the end
Time will heal bloody hands
You will learn time again
Bend your will
Serpentine
Why can’t I hear it
Why can’t I say it
Why can’t I speak it
Why don’t I feel a thing
I waited (whatcha’ waiting for)
In vain (suffocating me)
On bated (why ya’ waiting)
Breath
What did you learn?
Imagine if we learned to find our way
I’m afraid we haven’t learn how yet
Love yourself and love will follow suit
Goodbye for now I hope I see you soon
Alright

You’ve got that codeine glow
You are your father’s son
Acting in desperation
Suffering separation
Maybe just one more drink will take me off my feet
You call
I fall
I am so fucking lost
We don’t burn as bright do we
Holding on to the night as we
Count the sins
Intentions burn and fade
Holding on to these old injuries
Maybe if I drink enough I’ll feel something like love
Your skin is inspiration
Suffering separation
Another night like this
I cannot catch my breath
You call
I fall
I am so fucking lost
We don’t burn as bright do we
Holding on to the night as we
Count the sins
Intentions burn and fade
Holding on to these old injuries

Sitting Sunday for the solstice
Sweating off the filets
Me and the woman had wooden hearts
Bees have been feasting for days
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wait and see
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-changes come in threes
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wait and see nothing changes me
Nothing changes me
Nothing changes
Nothing changes
We long for shorter summers
We gotta' get away
We hate the cold of winter
We gotta' get away
Whoa
Whoa is we
We’re waiting to see where it leads
We’re waiting
Ooh!
Searching for some kind of clarity
Combat the monsters inside of me
She whispers, “how was your night?”
I spit a faster reply
And settle in for a restless sleep
Wait and see
Change brings the worst in me
Wait and see
Nothing changes me
Nothing changes
Nothing changes
We long for shorter summers
We gotta' get away
We hate the cold of winter
We gotta' get away
Whoa
Whoa is we
We’re waiting to see where it leads
Waiting

I’m sick to death of the silence here
Black out my eyes, leave them in X’s
Swallow my fear of rejection
I’m sick to death of the noise in here
Silence my mind, believe in hexes
We’re getting drunk on confessions
Watch it all
Burn to ashes
Raze the walls
Watch them come tumbling down
You changed your skin again
I don’t know
Not an answer
You changed your skin again
I don’t know
Not an answer
Light the flame
Watch it all burn down
I turned my back old memories
Forgot more than I remember
Sunspots have burned out my retinas
I’m sick to death of silence here
Drowning, pressure
Nothing is temporary here
Watch it all
Turn to ashes
Raze the walls
Watch it all come down
You changed your skin again
Watch me fall
Writhe and suffer
You changed with skin again

Man I feel awful
The night had it’s way with me
Just let the hurt go?
Wish I could stand from the water and breath
Don’t forget you are bigger than your history
Have you ever felt like a knife in a wound?
Are you broken & twisted inside?
When you close your eyes does it come rushing back?
Or, don’t you close your eyes?
Anyway it doesn’t matter
It’s decided on
What you’re feeling is just history
Don’t regret
What is said is done
You’ll never move on if you can’t forget
Have you ever felt like a knife in a wound?
Are you broken & twisted inside?
When you close your eyes does it come rushing back?
Or, don’t you close your eyes?
Anyway it doesn’t matter
I’m just desperate man doing desperate things
And I know that I’m pushing you away
You get further every day
But you push me too
My god, you know you do
Anyway it doesn’t seem to matter
Decisions decided on
There’s no need for change
Anyway it doesn’t seem to matter
It's never felt quite real
But there’s no need for change

Corpse Redux

This corpse needs restoration
This corpse is rust and bone
It rots
It molds
It’s grown so old
This corpse needs human contact
This corpse needs TLC
It’s full of holes
It’s bloody moans
It’s like a tidal wave
This is self preservation
This corpse is getting by
A lie is told
This life is bought and sold
This corpse needs human contact
This corpse is heart and soul
Alive?
Just barely
This corpse is holding on
It’s time to put him down for good
This corpse needs preservation
This corpse is spit and shine
Refine in time
His march is dust and fade
His march is dust and fade
It’s like a tidal wave
Get swept away
It’s time to put him down for good
This corpse needs restoration
This corpse needs restoration
This corpse needs human contact
This corpse needs restoration

What’s the situation?
Baby, it’s disaster
Sweetest laceration
Keep ‘em coming faster
Well, I like your kind of trouble
There’s sadness in your face
Maybe we kissed the bottle
Maybe we fell from grace
I understand your anger
Sit in your sadness
I am the narcissist that orchestrated all of this
I heard you say
"Can’t live this way"
I feel it too
All this love was all in vain
This just isn't working
No matter what we do
Can we learn to see through all these transgressions?
What's with this cloak and dagger?
I thought that we were friends
I wish I never met you!
I wish that I was dead!
I understand your anger
Sit in your sadness
I am the narcissist that orchestrated all of this
I heard you say
"Can’t live this way"
I feel it too
All this love was all in vain
Ah, ha, ha, ho!
I swear I was never made for this
I swear you never meant it at all
Are we just adversaries
Have we just hit the wall?
What's the situation?
Tick tick time is watching
Like a parasitic cancer
Keeps on moving faster
I heard you say
"Can’t live this way"
I feel it too
All this love was all in vain
Do you feel it?
Do you feel it?
Do you feel it?
Do you feel it?
Do you feel it?
Do you feel it?
Do you feel it?
Do you feel it?
Do you feel a fucking thing?

Mountain of Light

There’s a mountain of light
Where we are hidden from site
What we found
We couldn’t name it
It brought us life
Taught us to breathe
It brought us meaning
But, I never got it
To let it take away my mind
Wash away the stain inside
The smoke
Caught in my eyes
It’s clearer now that I have gone to pieces
So, cauterize my insides
And, there I lie
Fragments of pieces
Guided by light
I lost my site and my direction
Who I was
Who was I?
Had all the answers, but knew not their meaning
The smoke
Caught in my eyes
It’s clearer now that I have gone to pieces
So, cauterize my insides
It’s clearer now and I don’t wanna see it
So, cauterize my insides
My insides
More smoke
Less fire
More smoke
Less fire
I hope I wake up and this was all some kind of fucked up fucking dream

What a wicked realization
I just watch you people relate
Choosing solitude and isolation
In a world that I created
Under the weight of this lonely crown
I've been sinking to the bottom
Through the vile and the damned, I wade
How much more can I take?
I crawl through fire
Drown in the blood
Future is anchored
History's son
I crawl through fire
I crawl through fire
I crawl through fire
I choose to burn
What's the difference if you're living or dying
When your living just to turn back to dust
Finding ethos in a thirst for destruction
In a world that doesn't even exist
Under the weight of the guilt and regret
I sit and suck on the dying
Hands over ears, I don't need a reason
I find it easy to forget
I crawl through fire
I crawl through fire
I crawl through fire
I choose to burn
Haunting thoughts that crowd my brain
Can you feel the love today?
Peel the flesh from off my face!
All these thoughts they crowd my brain

Patron saint
Mother of fate
Hallelujah, we got away
We never show (we never show)
They never ask
Hallelujah, we weren’t the same
Caretaker’s paradise
Caretaker’s paradise
Tomahawk frenzy
Mother is safe
Hallelujah, she walked away
Caretaker’s paradise
Caretaker’s paradise
Can we ever find our way again?
We never found solutions
It’s better now if I go
Locked down
Missed my window
Resolute
In year number two
You aren’t drowning
So we can conclude
Caretaker’s paradise
Caretaker’s paradise
We’re old fashion
We’re out of tune
We’re out of fashion
We’re out of tune
Caretaker’s paradise
Caretaker’s paradise
Can we ever find our way again?
We never found solutions
It’s better now if I go
Locked down
Missed my window
We never fight, we live in spite we live to fail (we live to fail)
This is not real, please wake me up, let love prevail
I miss the taste, the lustful nights, they are just tales
You are not you, I am not me, who are we now?
Can we ever find our way again?
We never found solutions
It’s better now if I go
Locked down
Missed my window
I forgot it’s all gone
