Mourning 03:36
Cutting up your poison On a mirror of broken glass. Ignore the shards that reflect The image of the man you’ve grown to be. A token of disregard For anyone that might want you alive. Falling backwards into the black Suffer through, pull yourself from the edge. Falling backwards into the black. Dancing back and forth upon the fading line of your own consciousness, escaping reality. Preserving memories in attempt to find a cure for all our mourning, drifting away. Fill your veins, cure your pain. Preserving memories to find a cure for all our mourning. Dancing back and forth upon the fading line of your own consciousness, escaping reality. Preserving memories in attempt to find a cure for all our mourning. Now I live with the grief.

Nothing 01:44
Glance in my direction Contest your own reflection I’d drag you down to hell where you belong But your grave would hinder me Your grave would hinder me Devoted your time until I gave you mine but what are you owed? Nothing What is your worthless carcass owed? Nothing. Fucking nothing. Hang you and cut you open Catch a glimpse of my reflection In the pool of blood that forms beneath your feet Dead. Fucking dead

Rain 03:26
We purge ourselves Of the filth we gathered in our time apart Aim your fine tuned words directly at my vacant beating heart Forever embedded in your head We stand beneath storms In attempt to rinse our skin We call upon the rain to wash away All of our unwelcomed mistakes Absently procuring all the air around us In hopes that it will fit into our lungs Devoted to the sequence to drain my veins Your breath will grace my body once again (We stand beneath storms) Guard your heart from gaining a sense That leads your eyes To gaze back into mine We stand beneath storms in attempt to rinse our skin We call upon the rain to wash away all of our unwelcomed mistakes Forever embedded in your head This lucid home will fit me well Forever in your head

Dagger 02:52
Seeking shelter form the sharpened dagger words of one another I feel the cadence of your beating heart Dig your nails into my flesh And direct me to the truth as I digress Paralyzed by every syllable that stitch my lips together Tie my limbs around my throat And watch me disappear But can we both go back To the way things were before I fell Before you wish my soul farewell I wish I were a better man, for you I hope I prove I can Lift myself up and get this right I’ll work my fingers to the bone I feel you slip away I feel you slipping Four crescent moons engraved in my palms From all the time spent lifting me up above the flames When I press my palms into my eyes I sometimes see right through them Forgive me for my absence For I have grown transparent After hell I didn’t know where we’d be But you’re still here standing next to me I think I’ve finally figured it out For you I’ll work my fingers to the bone

Misgiver 02:56
Condemned to trespass In my new skeleton Let my lungs decay, and wash myself away Sew my skin to the floor And watch my soul drain my skull Please just let me see This moral man I’m supposed to be Constantly searching for something to mourn I am my own misgiver Press my pale flesh against the glass as hard as you can So you can see through both of us again Cast me away for you know I am not worthy of your memory Cast me away Please just let me see this moral man I’m supposed to be Please just let me see Press my pale flesh against the glass And watch the shards pierce my fucking arms Then spell out your name amongst the scars Pour your soul into the empty whole That mine once filled Inject my veins with the life that I require but only enough to get me by For I must soon learn to catch myself when I fall of that cliff For I’ve fallen again I’ve fallen Again Cast me away For you know I am not worthy Of your memory See my skin to the floor and watch my soul drain out my skull

Spent 03:08
Two decades spent trying to find my place in unfamiliar comfort trying to find out why my hands still shake, amongst my absent nervous breaks A devotion made of stone, one by which I will not break And I swear to god that I won’t make the same mistakes And at the end of it all Our graves will be dug In the same soil of this hell we call home And maybe if you set me aflame My wounds would cauterize So burn a whole in my skin And let the rest catch fire And I’ve been trying to find a way To escape From my state of decay And I long for the day I don’t need anyone to convince me I’m getting better And maybe I am My life in the making I will die living Two decades spent trying to find my place
