Introspection
Coring away the rotting mounds of flesh
Conservation
To make sure one day I can do this again
Elevation
Rising above, rising above
Invitation
Into your open arms
August
The brightest month of my life
Fading pictures
Photographs and memories
Wake up shaking
Can't tell if there's someone in the room with me
Are you okay?
Don't ever ask me that again
But are you sure you're okay?
Nauseous from all the questioning
August
The darkest time of my life

Safe Together

Safe Together
Burning hearts, two eyes on each
Safe Together
Promises made with intent to keep
Safe Together
Guided by integrity
Safe Together
Blades twice as long cut half as deep
Until we burn away
Safe Together
Promises made with intent to keep
Safe Together
Guided by our integrity
I know together we will always be safe

Breathe

Action! Reaction!
Watch on as the stakes keep climbing
Disaster! Distraction!
Thought I could leave it all behind me
Mutual destruction!
Assured by every party
Emancipation!
Not very fucking likely
Ain't it funny how the lights go out
When we don't agree
Ain't if funny that the lights go out
And we still can't sleep
Breath in
Breathe out
Hold fast to the rules and follow
Keep faith when it falls apart
Medication!
Left in our guts to rot
Emancipation!
Bound tight with Windsor knots

Dragged In
01:38
|
|||
Tamed and trained, commodified, consumed, processed and paid out
Heartless
Chasing vapors deep into the void, deprivation in endless supply
Forced to fit through tiny pinholes, set up and sabotaged
Heartless
Held for ransom, Stockholm syndrome sets in before we ever see light
Dragged in
Kicking and screaming
Held down
Forced to comply
Filthy hands clinging desperate to power in the name of perception
Heartless
Broadcasts transmit rays of despair to remind us our safety is on fire
Silent partners spilling misinformation over our lives like a coastline
Heartless
Ground down and jaded with open ended questions to keep us confused and in line
Dragged into life kicking and screaming
Trained until death to be heartless

Empty Glasses
01:27
|

Your hands marked her face
Your life smudged her history
Trying to drown your hate
Fueled a torrent of misery
I know I'll never find strength in the bottom of empty glasses
I know I'm bound to find pain in the bottom of empty glasses
Holy men betrayed you
When you were very young
You kept the cycle going
By victimizing your wife and son
I know I'll never be safe in the bottom of empty glasses
I know I'll never find hope in the bottom of empty glasses
Predisposed to violence
Predisposed to pain
Predisposed to anger
Predisposed to rage
The nightmare found its ending
In a fatal final dose
But your family won't find comfort
Eternally haunted by your ghost
