"Shutdown"

the trait that is still
left on the killing floor for you
that smile as he still
itches for killing more of you
the taste as he still
catches me lasting to it
the recoil they still
dream of that lasting spit
are you
shutdown in it
shut my eyes only once
brought me back up for nothing
yet it always seems like
I live in the shit
I make it bleed
I wont ever quit
I cause the need
lying in my bed
telling me your scared
of me when Im god
of me when Im dead
the temptation still
passses me lying for it only
false reminders still
drown myself trying for it only
reaching upwards still
squashes me under it
its only god still
seizing my final breath
are you
shutdown in it
shut my eyes only once
brought me back up for nothing
yet it always seems like
Im drawn into it
I cant belong
such a perfect fit
I wont be wrong
holding on in vein
telling me your scared
of me when Im god
of me when Im dead
I live in the shit
I make it bleed
I wont ever quit
I cause the need
lying in my bed
telling me your scared
of me when Im god
of me when Im dead
love me when Im god
love me when Im dead
dead
I dont want to be shutdow

"Breathe In, Bleed Out"

My throat is dry when I
(stain it)
keep the hate alive
(abuse it)
your lips are tight when I
(to keep it from)
cover them with mine
(running you)
this is a sickness
(need it)
you cannot conceive
(mistreat it)
it takes the quiet
(its all thats left)
to not exceed
(breathe in, bleed out)
where is your comfort now
its on the way out
where are your reasons now
theyre all worn out
My throat is tight when I
(pull it)
keep the hate alive
(push it)
your lips are dry when I
(tie it up in)
cover them with mine
(knots and)
Its an affliction
(lose it)
nothing comes to mind
(let go of it)
Its unstrategic
(all to keep it soft and cold)
nothing comes to mind
(breathe in,bleed out)
where is your comfort now
its on the way out
where are your reasons now
theyre all worn out

"All Wrapped Up"

Im above everything else
saved the ones that shouldnt be
hold on to them all so youll
find yourself away from me
our lost faith strung out on a line
my most empathetic dreams of you
the sorry excuses on which we dine
when all my fears tell me its true
borrowed dreams of some imagined future
all wrapped up inside this borrowed hope
dont manipulate the most
beautiful thing youll ever know
to the extent of saving your
ragged torn out sickly show
holding my head above the fold
cant decide which side I want
I buried everything so deep in the cold
now I stop inside of the lies I flaunt
borrowed dreams of some imagined future
all wrapped up inside this borrowed hope
pull it all away from me
show me all the things I can
never be allowed to see
its all so far away
if you must have faith in someone
trust that Ill push you away
if you must have faith in someone
trust that Ill push you away
what am I if
the flies all stick to me
what am I if
the maggots live in me
what am I if
Im closet to the stink
what am I if
youre all thats real to me
WHAT!AM!I!
teach me just show me
break everything flush it away
teach me just show me
the starts already over
break everything and
FLUSH IT AWAY!

"Nothing Gets Nothing"

freedom is everything
resolve impossible
you prayed for rain
ignoring the flood
you took me with you
to heaven
back again
bleed to remember
that everything ends
blind and looking forward
I can see the shapes
but cant make out the faces
still they come in close
excuse this ugly shell my
gaping holes drip pride
a systematic shutdown
of diminishing returns
NOTHING GETS EASIER GETS! [2X]
I held you down
on the day of the lord
31 marks like the day
I was born
I called you beautiful
before I knew you
watch me destroy it
set myself free
still so dead and frozen
we all survive it
restraints brought
back for color
the most insulting guilt
such sweet attractive layers
let me remove them all
NOTHING GETS EASIER GETS! [2X]
bring me home
let me down
send me back
collecting the phases
the less I give
its easier
the more we give
its nothing

"Loyalty"

It's just a reason to deny
All the limits that border
On the thiniest frailties
that makes a sudden change

I'll play my soul into sleep
I'll make up words that I keep
Letting nothing go to anyone at all

Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?

All of them
Bleed at the nerves
That take so long
To wear down

I'll play my soul into sleep
I'll make up words that I keep
Letting nothing go to anyone at all

Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?

This time I have made enough mistakes
For you to bear against me
Endure and break
Our original ideals
That let us down
And betrayed our trust
Like all your promises

I've seen the piece of shit alive in you
Cause I'm there enough to be a truth

This time I have made enough mistakes
For you to bear against me
Endure and break
Our original ideals
That let us down
And betrayed our trust
Like all your promises

Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?

"Pledge Allegiance"

We're just the braces amidst
These selfish trials and fits
Not so safe or scared or dumb is the rest
Our unravelling has just
Enough of it here to be
Drown propped up and watching
You stare at us pull you down
You read the news
You take the vows
You blame the costs
We play the chords
Now the only course
That traces an end
To the violence
Has left us without any
Chance to stand our ground

... Stand up and ...

March
Get back in line and
Fight
The time to start is
Now
Don't let yourself play the
Fool
There's no way out

Placatingly wound we search
Without purpose the game ends
Promise me today
So tomorrow's a new surprise
All these sores lingering
Shutdown and loving it
The greedy hands will lie
But we stand ready to strike
Yours' is the blood
Theirs' the first
The speed the greed
The machines and the paper dolls
We didn't want this
We didn't need this
We couldn't see it coming
But we're to blame for it

... Stand up and ...

March
Get back in line and
Fight
The time to start is
Now
Don't let yourself play the
Fool
There's no way out

Watch us coming
While you drop away
Bow your fucking heads
And pray for us
Cause it's my time
And it's our side
You can't stop us any longer

Bow your head
Pray for us
It's our time

"Dirty"

It's been after me
In this place
A pleasant threat perfect void
Stuck in modality
With all this damage beyond repair

When all our time fades away
Just like everything else
That proves that we are

Dirt

Stay
Now just in case
Selfish trials
Keeps stopping to
Drag me down
I'm losing bliss
As if all your hands
Could keep me clean

When all our time fades away
Just like everything else
That proves that we are

Dirt

I can't see where I've gone wrong
All our times fade away
That proves that we are

Dirt
If all our times fades away
It's proof we're dirt

"Ridicule"

Ridicule my own
So precious alone
These faces of everyone
Remind me of home
You're plotting riddled sin
All my needs giving in
Blow me a kiss and leave me to the dogs

So, you think you got it
You think you know me
You wanna bring me down
I am in my finest hour
Ridicule my own
So precious alone
These faces of everyone
Remind me of home
You're watching me dying
How am I looking?
Why don't you take a picture
You're plotting riddled sin
All my needs giving in
Blow me a kiss
And leave me to the dogs

My fear, traps me waiting for it
My past is glowing red and yellow, again

Run, back where you came from
Not that it matters
I'll never see you again
My fists strain to sift mercy
Ridicule my own
So precious alone
These faces of everyone
Remind me of home
You're plotting riddled sin
All my needs giving in
Blow me a kiss and leave me to the dogs

My fear, traps me waiting for it
My past is glowing red and yellow, again
My fate will show me where to follow

"Take What I've Taken"

This most unwitting occurrence
Is indeed about you
So take it
Or chalk it up
All the others before me
Can give what I doubt

Take what I've taken

The three of threes
Professes you to me
Challenging and the favour will be
Paid in full
Pounds of flesh
In perfect dress

Take what I've taken

This most unwitting occurrence
Is indeed about you
So take it
Or chalk it up
All these others before me
Can't doubt
What's killing you
Wells from inside
Atonement for the waste
Pleasure in one more accolade
Prehensive doubt prehensive ...

One day I know when I see you
Far from these days that beat us
Far from my habits perfect prison

One day, I know when I see you
Far from these days that beat us
Far from my habits perfect prison

"Leave Me Alone"

You
Always get exactly what you want
You
This is only my life that you taunt
Always giving me enough to keep me quiet
Only giving me enough to keep me at bay

Why don't you leave me alone?

I don't need you

This

Is the very thing that I disgust
Promise me again
And I hope your jaw fucking rusts
I did what you wanted didn't I?
So, shut up Shut up Shut up Shut up

Why don't you leave me alone?
Always on the verge of something
Almost about to leave it all
I don't need you

Open your blessed wings
And wrap them around all your things
Keep yourself in the company of kings
Cause it's their hands' that bleed from the strings

No more
