Three Burials
01:39
|

We came, we felt, we laid down
We gave ourselves to the forest now
We're beholden to the evergreen
We gave ourselves unto the forest floor
It took our bodies, used them and asked for more
We are carnal
We are eternal

Goodbye Tourist
04:48

What can I say except
It's not your home, you didn't know you'd drown
We're far beyond the point of return
Fuck it
Peering through the open doorways
Rotten wood frame
Watching waves break and disappear
Sometimes I hear her screaming
And think of all the things it has done to me
For a moment there, I felt the whispered breath
Then I shake my head and step back to reality
Monster that I love
Speaking to the lies that I drew between
Coward, step aside
Bleeding on the lines that we find inside
May you drown in castles of sand
That collapse upon your chest
Say, I do not know your face
You do not recognize this place so
Lie down
And after all that I have fucking set aside
Just look into my eyes and fucking realize
Speak and you will never hear
Love and you will never fear
Death
Goodbye Tourist
Die at the bottom, goodbye tourist
Say that you love them, goodbye tourist
Pray that you got in last, goodbye tourist
Dine on your final words, goodbye tourist

To Forget
02:48
|

We were born in shackles and forced to watch the world pass us by
We cannot get loose, discomfort is how we spend our nights
This disease and filth is the only world that we've ever known
Sing ourselves to sleep so that we can dream of home
You look at me from the outside of the travelling hearse
I can see your eyes just what I need to make things worse
There is a world down here that only me and mine can see
The rot is all consuming eating away at sanity
I don't wanna suffer
Waiting through the night I find myself counting the rocks
On the path ahead and waiting for my heart to stop
The road goes on forever leading nowhere far from here
Disfigured by our lot, speaking words that no one hears
We've lost so much of our lifespan
That we're never getting back
So fuck it, take everything
And throw it in the trash
This ground keeps moving under us
And we can't get it to stop
The world keeps spinning under us
And we can't get off
I just want the world to stop turning
Grind to a halt
Tears and heartache
Is all that we've wrought
We should never feel like we're home
Let our passing be marked with no stone

Boat Man
02:04
|

|
Cruel false hope giving reason to survive
Does more for me than this tiny candle light
I hope this finds you well
From this bed that I call Hell
The boatman waits patiently
For my coin
Cruel false hope running out the candle light
Makes me dream of all the things I've done I can't make right
Please don't hate me for the life I've lead
Sometimes I had to exercise my demons
Just know that I was never angry at you
I'm just angry
I held inside my hand everything I thought made me a man
I felt it slip through my fingers
And still I feel the pain that lingers

Eating Knives
03:38
|

|
This path laid out ahead of us
It brings no comfort
I never wanna look you in your eye
Just to tell you I'm about to die
I never want to tell you you'll survive
I don't ever want to lie
I never said that I would look away
Just keep your eyes on mine to keep the fear at bay
Try to fight the urge inside to recoil
Stay until they take my eyes, they're reviled
Can't see, let's go
How far can we walk this line
Tell me, don't lie
What the fuck is on your mind?
Are you thinking about every choice we made
Are you thinking about how we even got here
There is blood that has filled up every river
And I know that you don't even fucking care
We pray as we close our eyes
Unholy thoughts in the undercurrent
Singing songs as they sharpen knives
We have no deterrent
Reaching out into the endless void
Trying to grab onto the fires
Until I feel my lungs burn
If you're sending me to Hell
I am taking you with me

Real Sleep
03:08
|
|||
|
I often bargain with what's in my head
Please let me sleep like I am dead
To close my eyes and drift
Into this bottomless pit
I don't get sick of it
My head won't lift
I am a martyr to the voices in my mind
They do not stop at night
I can't keep burning this candle at both ends
No sleep will ever come, this torture never ends
I never bother turning off the lights
The change it makes, it ain't that deep
Having exchanges with the shadows
I just wanna get some real sleep
I look like hell I feel like hell
I feel like I am dead, hell I might as well
End it here and now
It doesn't matter how
Just as long as my eyes don't open
I never bother turning off the lights
The change it makes, it ain't that deep
Having exchanges with the shadows
I just wanna get some real sleep
I know my demons on a first name basis
They and I are the best of friends
I stay up all night in their company
It never ends

Bear Witness
04:45

Place your hand upon the shovel that will dig your grave
Work your fingers to the bone my child you can't be saved
As time goes on
You watch the clock
March to your grave
Mourn what you've lost
The ones who were left in the aftermath
Were the unlucky chosen few
Funeral fires could be seen for miles
As fallen ash mixed with morning dew
No way to find a moment of relief
The sun is hiding behind clouds of human hubris
The worst of it is yet to come, my child
No memories, no tears, just rot and malcontent
Bury your dead
In the graves that you've dug
Give unto me
Everyone that you love
You will not be denied
Your place in history
But what does it even matter
When there's nobody left to read it
The worst of it is yet to come
Just say a prayer and carry on
Flip a coin to determine your path
It doesn't matter, this world will not last
Raise your hands to the sky
Pray to long dead gods
Count the days, cough up blood
Realize your odds
Time is running out
Lift your eyes again
So you can see my face
You can let it go
Let go of your hope
Come with me
