Broken Hearts
Empty Starts
No one wins
No
Wasted youth
Fucked Truth
Save me
No
An unmasked psycho once said,
“It’s only a knife in your back”
You and your friends are all dead
And they’ll still dispute the fact
Nights are dark
Contrast stark
No one lives
No
Voices soothe
I can’t choose
Save me
No
An unmasked psycho once said,
“It’s only a knife in your back”
You and your friends are all dead
And they’ll still dispute the fact
All my love
(Broken hearts)
All I will be
(Empty starts)
All my life
(No one wins)
No
All my love
(Wasted youth)
All I will be
(Fucked Truth)
All my life
(Save me)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thrill Me
03:07

I can hear your lies you whisper so sweetly to me
A house of flies that buzzes incessantly
Morning isn’t coming, I know that much is certain
I beg for forgiveness, but I know there’s no forgetting
Gripped with fear, I hear your voice beyond the veil
Sounding as though it is coming from the pits of Hell
Smile on your face as you stake my heart
Holding me now as everything goes dark
I heard your laugh as you heard my cries
Take me now before the sunrise
Smile on your face as you stake my heart
Holding me now as I fall apart
I heard your laugh as I fade away
Let me go now as we go astray
I close my eyes and hear your call within my soul
Gripping me, compelling me to go and open up my door
Pain explodes, I cannot stop myself in time
I am your puppet, my body is no longer mine
There you’ll stand, compelling me to let you in
Like most evils, you can’t enter uninvited
Smile on your face as you stake my heart
Holding me now as everything goes dark
I heard your laugh as you heard my cries
Take me now before the sunrise
Smile on your face as you stake my heart
Holding me now as I fall apart
I heard your laugh as I fade away
Let me go now as we go astray

Winter Solstice
03:18
|
|||
|
The path is overgrown
Follow behind closely
For much you atone
But do you get lonely?
I know night is longer at the solstice
Shadows darken corners of your room
I’ll bring all my friends to sing a chorus
For our song under the palest moon
Oh, to commune
Sound from below
A voice unholy
Oh I’m not alone
But I do get lonely
I know night is longer at the solstice
Shadows darken corners of your room
I’ll bring all my friends to sing a chorus
For our song under the palest moon
Oh, to commune
I’m sorry for your God
He should be here, should he not?
I know night is longer at the solstice
Shadows darken corners of your room
I’ll bring all my friends to sing a chorus
Of our song under the palest moon
They’ll be here soon…

Sitting outside, I watch the cars go by
Makes me think of all the time I’ve wasted on you
On you
Broken doors and busted frames
Hard to believe I felt the same for you
For you
You were in my head, I was better off dead
I played this game but I’ve always lost to you
To you
Going down as we hit the ground
It was never enough for me to stay
To stay
Cuz it’s 3 am and I’m standing in your driveway
Wondering why it has to be my way
I didn’t want to hurt you
I didn’t want to wake you
I tried to explain but you said
I wrote you a letter, left it at your front door
Trying to explain that you really do deserve more
It wasn’t for me
It wasn’t for you
This time I meant it when I said

Eternal Sigh
03:23
|
|||
|
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
Hide myself or run from you
I don’t know how I’m supposed to be
When it is you who created me
No soul
You have no soul
Do you have any idea what it’s like
To have you skulking in my life?
Do you ever feel that guilt
Around the horrors that you’ve built?
No soul
You have no soul
Am I going to be just like you
Stitching body parts, sinew
Make myself a brand new shape
But forget to give it a name?
No soul
You have no soul
And when I get free
You’ll never see me
I’ll breathe a sigh of relief
One that lasts for all eternity

I Just Wanna Be
03:27
|

|
Where do you go
When life shows no roads?
I reached out to you
But you’re never home.
I’m stuck in this place
With people I don’t know.
I tried to forget
But, I can’t escape.
I just wanna be
Something that I’m not
Something I can’t see
I just wanna be
A part of this dream
I can never seek
I want to run away
But I forgot how to walk.
I want to speak
But my mouth never talks.
I tried to find my peace
But my eyes could never see.
Is this what it’s like
When life shows no roads?
I just wanna be
Something that I’m not
Something I can’t see
I just wanna be
A part of this dream
I can never seek

Sink
04:18

Let’s return from whence we came, forsaking all the land we took
Let it melt on the way out as we walk to the waters we’ll pollute
Oh yonder’s where we all should go
I’ll tell you what I’m thinking
Let us walk hand in hand singing this god awful hymn
Let us walk into the ocean and forget that we know how to swim
No telling how far down it goes
Till we sink, sink, sink, sink
Oh no
We are the worst humanity had to offer
Yo ho
Place children on the sacrificial altar
Oh no
No telling how far down we’ll go
Till we sink, sink, sink, sink
Oh no
We’ll do it over and over and over and over
Yo ho
Why wait and make everyone else suffer?
Oh no
No telling how far down we’ll go
Till we sink, sink, sink, sink
Oh no
Let’s set all these blue skies on fire
Yo ho
Choke every single, mother fucking liar
Oh no
No telling how far down we’ll go
Till we sink, sink, sink, sink
Oh no
Let’s let the gulls peck out all of our eyes
Yo ho
Let’s leave our bodies, food for the flies
Oh no
No telling how far down we’ll go
Till we sink, sink, sink, sink

HEY
They’re gonna say "you don’t fit in here"
“We can tell there’s sadness behind that smile”
“Why don’t you just stay down and out awhile?”
“Smile more, grin and bear it my dear!”
She’s a petty tiger following her own rainbow
Just a wild riot wondering where to go
A petty tiger following her own rainbow
Just a wild riot wondering where to go
They’ll say “you have a bad attitude”
“Don’t go and bite the hand that feeds”
Well, I know every monster’s gotta eat
Just accept the feelings aren’t true
She’s a petty tiger following her own rainbow
Just a wild riot wondering where to go
A petty tiger following her own rainbow
Just a wild riot wondering where to go
Don’t let them get you down
They will see eventually
Don’t let them get you down
They will see eventually
Oh, they can go fuck themselves
They can all fuckin leave
Honey, you’ll always fit in with me
And sooner or later they will see
They can go fuck themselves
They can all fuckin leave
Honey, you’ll always fit in with me
And sooner or later they will see
You’re a pretty tiger following your own rainbow
You’re a wild riot wandering where you'll go
You’re a pretty tiger following your own rainbow
You’re a wild riot wandering where you'll go

Backseat
02:51
|
|||
|
Sitting on the ground
Passing it around
Till it’s time to play
Never getting paid
Playing to 1 or 10
All of our drunken friends
A 30 minute set
Till our hearts content
I’ll hear it one more time
“Aaron you’re gonna die
If you keep doing this
And all of your stupid shit”
Do you wanna know
Do you wanna go
Do something
Or be with someone else?
Cause I don’t care where this is going
I’ll sing the same old songs it’s never boring
The backseat of the car I’ll find my friends
Doing what they do we’ll never give in

I'm a Fuckin' Bug
03:57
|

|
When you wake up all alone
And unwanted
It’s hard to stare into the abyss
When you’re worked down to the bone
Exhausted
It’s kind of hard to exist
I don’t know how this can be!
Yeah, I’m a fuckin’ bug!
I’m screaming like a banshee!
Cuz I’m a fuckin’ bug!
Drive to work in silent droves
Unconscious
It’s kind of hard to give a shit
Watch the people from windows
Unprompted
It’s hard to not be a hypocrite
I don’t know how this can be!
Yeah, I’m a fuckin’ bug!
I’m screaming like a banshee!
Cuz I’m a fuckin’ bug!
Oh no, I’m a bug
How? How could this be?
Maybe it’s me?
I’ve been to blind to see
Cuz I’ve been drinking this orange-flavored
Covfefe
No. No, I’m not the problem.
It’s the people. The people are the problem.
They’ve got this all wrong. They’ve got it all wrong.
I’m not getting owned! You’re the one getting owned!
I don’t know how this can be!
Yeah, I’m a fuckin’ bug!
I’m screaming like a banshee!
Cuz I’m a fuckin’ bug!
Fuck public health cuz I’m free!
Yeah, I’m a fuckin’ bug!
Fuck you, I won’t quarantine!
Cuz I’m a fuckin’ bug!
Crawl on your trash like a freak!
Yeah, I’m a fuckin’ bug!
Eat up all your feces!
Cuz, I’m a fuckin’ bug!

I'll Wait Forever
03:42
|

|
I’ve heard your truth
Life left you alone and bleeding
Wish I missed you
While you were alive and breathing
You just made your move
I know my hands keep shaking
The point is moot
No matter how much I’m pleading
Where you are
Where you go
I want to know
I need to know
Where you are
Where you go
This place is so cold
So cold without you
Where you are
Where you go
Please show me a sign
So I can go too
We can’t contend
With the fate our nature permits
The loss of a friend
All we can do is reminisce
We see the trends
The blood on my hands, I can’t face it
Broken hearts may mend
But they won’t beat
All they’ll do is stay dead
Where you are
Where you go
I want to know
I need to know
Where you are
Where you go
This place is so cold
So cold without you
Where you are
Where you go
Please show me a sign
So I can go too
And I’ll wait forever
To see the light in your eyes again

Part I: Loss
My empty smile, empty heart
Leads you to your grave
Maybe beyond, but no
This is just goodbye
Save me from my dark dreams
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me from my dark dreams
Empty smile, empty heart
Part II: Doubt
Body is dead, but not your soul
But not your soul
The flesh is gone, but
I don’t want, I don’t want to
Kill your soul
Body is dead, but not your soul
But not your soul
Doubt
So strong to suffer
So strong to suffer
Body is dead, but not your soul
But not your soul
The flesh is gone, but
I don’t want, I don’t want to
Kill your soul
Body is dead, but not your soul
But not your soul
So strong
So strong to suffer
Body is dead, but not your soul
But not your soul
The flesh is gone, but
I don’t want, I don’t want to
Kill your soul
Doubt
Part III: Decision
Darkness is my bride
The night hides my face
Navigator of Souls
Lead on, lead well
Darkness is my bride
The night hides my face
Navigator of Souls
Lead on, lead well
Waiting for you now
Waiting forever
Waiting for you now
Forever waiting
For you
Navigator of Souls
Lead on, lead well
Lead on, lead well
Oh
Part IV: Peace/Salvation
Slowly dying when I dream
Slowly dying when I wake
The ghost in my heart will never
Again be of flesh
The ghosts are in me
Nowhere left to go
Nowhere left to be
But here
But here
But here
But here
But here
But here
Oh, it’s time to start grieving the moment
I stopped healing is when you stopped breathing
Oh time to start grieving
Part V: Leave
What will be, will be
I only have
The strength over me
