What Is It You Believe?

Wake up to the sound of the war drums
Rise up, the time has arrived
Storm clouds, they brew in your eyes
It's time to realize death has no tribe
On the frontlines
Smoke on the horizon
Shadows will fall
Shadows will fall
Fear don't fail me now
I'm on your side
Tell me, what is it you believe?
Bow down, your ghosts call upon you
Pray now, your blood's on the line
Focus, the bones will be calling
For you to show up and deliver their prize
Hush now, forgiveness is over
The games are upon you
Changing the tide
Bleed now, for all you believe in
Reap what you sow at the end of all time
On the frontlines
Smoke on the horizon
Shadows will fall
Shadows will fall
Fear don't fail me now
I'm on your side
On the frontlines
Heavy is the head
Heavier the crown
Chained against the wall
Fate don't fail me now
Tell me, what is it you believe?

Devilish Grin
05:17
|
|

Dreams so dark you can't relax
Dreams that flood against the past
Your teeth grind, a fan that drones
A ritual that's all your own
The need flows through you like a cry
A wail of starlight against a tide
Choke up a smile just to pretend
To put on a face so you fit in
Hollow and all alone
A devilish grin to hide your soul
A need so strong you cannot breathe
A need that screams a symphonic shriek
And the dark passenger takes over time
So you survive
Choke up a smile just to pretend
To put on a face so you fit in
Force a facade to fit the mold
A devilish grin to hide your soul
You're never alone, never a friend
Hell hath no fury when you give in
Force a facade to fit the mold
A devilish grin to hide your soul

Lonely Star

I am a lonely star
Held together by fire and scars
Hungry for their eyes
And their tongues for love
Won’t you look and see
What we could be
Won’t you take a moment
To breathe with me
I laid it all out
If you book them they’ll show
Is one of the great many lies
That we were told
Holding my heart in hands
As people walk by
They bump and shove
Like I’m not alive
Is nobody, nobody kind?
Tell me why
And who are you
To talk of love?
Cause you left me
By the side of the road
And I was too polite
To say anything
But please and thank you
I brought you to the finish line
But it was never your time
Was it never worth your time?
Well, it’s worth mine
Who will carry the weight of
This lonely star?

Perfectly Still
05:37

Nobody hears
Us sees us, no--
Body cares
When all gets low, no
Body feels us
When we're alone
I got me a magical elixir
To feel good
I got me a miracle fixer
So I could stop the lie
If I could just exist
I might feel real
They said all I have to do is
Hold perfectly still
And they said it would be
Temporary
The violins have stopped
Close your eyes and
Yawn
It will all be over soon
They got me a magical elixir
To feel good
They gave me a miracle fixer
To simulate the lie
But if I could just exist
The pain might be real
You said all I have to do
Is hold perfectly still
Please make me a stone
I cannot do this alone

Happy Pretty People
03:32

In the garden
Giving, taking
You thought you made a bargain
A little tit for tat
So maybe you'll come again
Did you trade for
Beauty, truly
For something you thought might last?
A little nip for tuck
So maybe you could erase the past
But it's hopeless hanging on a word
On a life you can’t afford
A promise that comes to never
Because when it’s all said and done
It's a fool’s errand
Dreaming that you could feel at home
At peace in your bones
I carve your letters
Digging, pulling
Through the bark of me
Fossilized romanticide
Will surely turn the tide
But here’s the deal we’re
Striking, writing
The truth to be revealed
If all the happy, pretty people
Are even real
Just when you think to drop your guard
When it’s your turn to discard
You’ll find it’s not enough
And just when you think you're in the clear
You’ll have yourself to fear
What is or isn’t in the mirror
So hey is that you
Begging, pleading
To make a bargain
This fella’s mask is slipping
Falling and slipping and pulling off again
Maybe if we strike a deal
The secret will reveal
That all the
Happy, pretty people
Aren’t actually real

On Your Tongue
05:49

There he goes now
Like a bug on the wall
Just here to hear all your secrets
And I knew you
At least I did, or do
And they said you loved you
With lies on their teeth
And I said, who gives a shit anyway?
There I go now
Like a friend in the hole
Just here to tell you my secrets
And don't you lie
You hate like rabies
Your whiskey in bags
Your sins like saviors
For your self righteous deeds
Your trembling need
But I knew you
At least I did, or do
And you said you loved me
With lies on your teeth
And I believed you like a fool anyway
(No more)
Why don't ya just hold it in
Just hold it in
They're watching my chest heave
With every breath I take
Between the great ravine
(All the hate in me)
Just let me let you down
And I knew you
At least I did
Or do
And they said they loved me
With god on their tongues
And I said who gives a shit
We'll die anyway

Dusk

Here we talk around in circles
Kinda hard to tell
Who is kind
I never know what to give
For what it’s worth
Maybe it’s a waste of time
And they say the hurt should be crushing
And yet, I feel nothing
And I have become a bridge to nowhere
I thought that they might care, cause
I should have known better than
To be seen
To fall in love with
The dusk in between
Careful dissection
Across memories sewn
A sin for having grown
Cause I should be finally at home
Not chained to
An illusion of what you own
They say relief should be coming
And yet, I feel nothing
And I have become a bridge to nowhere
I thought that they might care, cause
I should have known better than
To be seen
To fall in love with
The dusk in between
And all they wished is
I had it figured out
Figured out
Figured out
And I hope
I hope
I hope that you choke on it
Cause maybe
Just fucking maybe
I've known what's best all along
And you can choke on it
