CONQUEROR WORM
Pacing, forever’s fleeting with you
No one can see thru to the truth
While breathing out (Ghosts still find you)
Run from your past
Did you think that this could always last
Trace the lifelines in your hands
Your dark road, engulfed with grains of sand
So corrupt
Lost and all alone
This stale earth catches up to us all
This play the tragedy of man
This stage still set by shaking hands
This life will end before the credits
Your demise hangs O so heavy
Haunting, the future is dying with you
You let this slip right through
This epic’s bleeding hands
(Death still guides you)
We never make it out alive
The conqueror worm calls every goodbye
This scenic solitude
I’ve never felt the swift blades fucking slice thru the night
Hero, the conqueror
Much of madness
Even more of sin
The conqueror calls
MY DEATH WAS A BANQUET
"You’re a beast" that’s what she said
As she tears apart all the joy inside your head
Nothing is safe, nothing is sacred,
Every squint and glance consumed with hatred
Your audience has become your juror,
You wear a mask for safety not humor
My death was a banquet
Where every heart revealed itself
I taste the fear of aging
I loathe the heart of lovers
I slip further into the nightlife
"You’re a beast" that’s what she said,
As she tears apart all the joy inside your head
Nothing is safe, nothing is sacred
Every squint and glance consumed with hatred
The fire within you, soft silken embers,
Loves tragedy in which no one remembers
Science and patience, the torment is sure
How many hands tried to tame this beast?
Soft skin, eyes, teeth trained to feast
On my own innocence, on my own arrogance
Now all desire has gone
It has made my life its own
WINTER SOLSTICE
This clarity has always been a dream,
Stuck inside my mind, as hazy as it seems
Clouding judgment in constant motions
Built upon the lies, I’ve buried deep inside
How much of this fire has died?
Am I the person who survives?
Being born broken to comply
Hiding this pain in light brown eyes
Who am I?
Am I the same person I always hoped to be?
Not even fucking close, in dreams
Not even fucking close
I’ve been holding on to this dull flame for years,
Fighting a new on my forgotten fears
In your eyes I find solstice in the summer skies
BETWEEN GREETINGS AND GOODBYES
(Guest vocal by Robert Meadows)
Losing someone would be a blessing,
If it means I’d find myself
I’ve broken past the point of this
This bitter taste lingers
Taste this crisis
Pain is knowledge, regret the final teacher
Stringing you along, to the departure song
I’ve held the perfect moment and lost faith in movements
Crumbled down in broken structures,
Sacrificed myself for the ones I love,
Losing someone is such a blessing,
If it means I’ll find myself
I don’t want to be alive
I’ve sacrificed my well being
To feel what it would be like
To embrace joy and compassion
If only for a short period of time
I’ve left this world full of regret
I’ve lost more then I care to forget
This hand has carved out all good feelings
Good bye was such a simple meaning
I can’t hold on anymore
I can’t feel this tired anymore
I can’t I won’t
