Given A Ghost
02:17

I reach out in my darkest hour to find that no one is there
Now I need you most and I'm just given a ghost
The promise of providence in regress
Now an unwelcome guest
Death is the only one before me
I bleed
I watch as they pull it all to sleep
Thirsty they concede to you but drink from poison wells
They hunger
You feed them lies
Pray on the ones who don't have a prayer
God sells promise and you take the payment
Sanction becomes encampment
Illusions entrance the throngs of the living dead
Dirt pillows give rest

Something Like Fire
02:43

Yeah, you'll always be to me like fire
Your light and warmth are best admired from afar
And with the night my dreams expire, and you look a ghost
You're haunting me
We will burn the streets when the lies begin to boil

Highs and Lows
02:14
|

|
My knees grew weak and my vision blurred
Lost sight of you to darkness
Wasn't sure if I'd return
I had a dream where you woke up next to me
It must have been a godsend when I rose with you
No need for ancient ghosts, no undead hosts, for what's ahead, so cut the road
Don't lose your head
It's all a joke
So, pass them by
They're feeling low
Now's not the time to lose your high

Slaves
Look at our lives
We don't even act like people
We're wasting away
Wasting away
Slaves
Stuck in the system
We're all fucking drowning
Wasting away
Words astray
Slaves
Look at our lives
We don't even live like people
We're wasting away
Wasting away
We're asking for more
Look at this world
It lives in dismay
Ruled by the people who won't let us change
Look at their system
We're living as slaves
Destroying all values and feeling no shame
Look at the people
You're living a lie
Acting what's normal but live in disguise
And I will not stand idling by
You're living a fucking lie
You're out of your league
Don't think that you own me
Get out of our way
We will/can lead you astray

Nightfall
03:14
|
|||
|
The stars they used to shine so bright
Now it's raining heaven and dying skies
My demons stalk me in the night
It's too quiet here
The truth's not so clear
The constant hum in my head is waking the dead, and I'm on my own in this to face them
Every step I take is one more toward the fall
Victory is fruitless
I can't beat them all, and they're in my head
I'm numb to everything but the exhaustion
I'll fight to break these chains
Your bloody hands were in this all along inflicting every cut and broken bone
Along the way I faced their madness at every turn
Now here you are, death incarnate, waiting to take it all away

Think it Over
02:20
|

|
Did you find what you were waiting for?
Did you see or was there so much more?
A call to you, but it makes no sense
Lend to the sickness
It's in your head
A call to arms that has fallen dead
Old world ideas complicate your head
Don't pay attention and you fall to sleep
Wake to a world of new sympathy
You always find a way
Just give it one more day
Opposition comes in spite of what they say
Your trite complaint
It passes for epiphany
But there's not one among them
They all lead you astray
More callousness
No new information
You pay for comfort and confirmation
It comes full circle
A drag in time
Everything you learn just burns
Too near is the end
Collapse or relapse you start again
Old world ideas complicate your head
Don't pay attention and you fall asleep
Wake to the world
An epiphany

I can't
I couldn't
I didn't ever want to
I can't
I couldn't
I didn't ever want this with you
Oh no
Never wanted this with you
Oh no
Never wanted this with you

Came the rain as it always did
You rid the same excuses
You never saw me coming
We never quite saw eye to eye
You looked away
Always did
You knew better so left it
It slipped away
You guessed it
Some things will stay the same
We all know some things stay the same
We all know some things never change
How sweet it is
Such distance is given chase
Bitterness left nothing but arguments
It feeds me well
I'll go along and be the one left driven beyond neighboring horizons
They're what I've been missing, and I won't come around

The Smiths
01:05

|
Line up the fucking shots!
A little more whiskey
A little more wine
Me and my buddies party all the time
It's all cuz the Smiths!
Late for work
Up all night
Me and my friends are doing all right
