Why
can’t
you
why can’t you
hear me
believe me
why can’t you hear
ignorant rhapsody
why can’t you
hear me
believe me
ancient fool
on the ground
why can’t you
hear me
believe me
why can’t you
see?
why can’t you
hear me
believe me ?
cut my hands free
smother me
smother me
cut my hands free
waves beat my face
blue
the tide sinks into my skin
burdened
and bloated
burdened
and bloated
burdened
and bloated
witness
my empty

my empty
witness
my empty
witness my empty
pulls me under
why go

witness
witness my empty
he pulls
me
under
waves
beat
my face
blue
the tide
sinks into my skin
burdened
and
bloated
witness
my empty
why
can’t you
feel my broken skin
my life
depended on it
why can’t you
hear me
believe me
It’s true
what did you do

ROSES
05:12
|

A cloaked soldier rode
he promised me roses
but brought me
shadow filled with pain
he promised me roses
brought me
shadows
shadows filled with pain
it's an old tale about
when your body won't leave the ground
you run with me
you burn me
a soldier rode
what a big mistake
run with me
burn with me
I don’t mind when your gonna take me
I burn
what a big mistake
blistering sun
I want nothing filled in my life
you won’t cross my mind
a cloaked soldier rode
he promised me
roses
but brought me

LIVIDITY
05:18
|
|||
Sunlight shines
upon their faces
smile and take their hands
didn’t take her flowers
out of her hands
she raised her heart
the boy began to scream
six feet under
your head on me
raised heart
grazed
he bled her face
one last time
for me to see
keeps coming back for more
turn the other way
tightest ropes
laid across my feet
leaving my body
for men to beat
eternal liar
lie love
wise eyes are now a fool
leave me blind
leave me drifting
this body is not yours
head on me
why can’t I
refuse
your soft
but angry hands
and an angry heart
over
and over
and over
and over
over
and over
and over
it’s over
over
his evil eruptions
cleanse my spirit
his evil eruptions
cleanse my spirit
this body is not yours to keep
disable me
this body is not yours to rape
disable me
head on me
why can’t I
refuse
tightest ropes
laid across my feet
leaving my body
for men to beat

THIS IS WHAT YOU DESERVE
03:22
|
|||
Hail the sirens
that bring your ships down
you can’t defeat me
even when you wear that crown
hail
hail the sirens
hail the sirens
just a mortal
you cannot pass
what your faith is
I won’t ask
what your faith is
I won’t ask
look in my eyes
I’m not lying when I say
it’s better down here
drown with me
drown
drown
with me

FALSE MARTYR
04:14
|
|||
My fallen lover
was killed by his own sword
kept drinking his poison
leaving me nothing
to fill the void
my fallen lover
killed
sword
follow blind forces
while the snakes bite your feet
your flesh tastes funny
to the ones who live
you dine with them
follow blind forces
while the snakes bite your feet
you lie with them
I know you all well
lying with what you did
follow blind forces
while snakes bite your feet
you lie with them
follow blind forces
while snakes bite at your feet
why force it
I know we
I know we die for the first time
in the bearer or light
bearer of light
bearer of light

THE PACK
03:59
|
|||
But first light,
unravel me
into darkness’ arms
let me be the one
embrace him first
embrace him first
embrace him first
I do hurt
for I have settled
your arms are there
comfort and calming
darkness’ arms
struggle to keep secure
she reached for me
instead of you
instead of you
instead of you
as she passed
I slowly let her go
she reached for me
instead of you
go
go
go
can we reflect
on anger
he bites me
crimson eyes
hi misery
I’m knocking at the door
are you home
could you bear
another burden
we knew we had to
goodbye
running into arms like the night
you came back
we are disappointing
running like a wounded pack
you came back
like the dogs
running like a wounded pack
to me

VERNAL
03:46
|

This morning
I woke up
and felt
beautiful
my hair
was falling
like a slow rain
like a slow rain
like a slow rain
that felt like a
stretch
of sweat
bleeding
off the grass
wet on my ankles
sharp
like honey, here
sharp like honey
the dim smell of light here
life is here
and I choose forward
life is here
and I choose forward
weave your web and keep it strong
weave your web and keep it strong
I felt so much power today
the way you looked at me
sunshine
you had a sunshine
one more day
you had a sunshine one more day
that sparked here
the flowers purple
and green
am I dreaming
life is here
and I choose forward
life is here
and I choose forward
weave your web and keep it strong

The end
of you
of me
the buildup of yellow
around my eyes
has become part of
what survived
strapped down waiting
for me
spread out
waiting for evil
I can feel you
wrapped around me tight
release me to
my dream
falling asleep
almost feels like death
you’ve taken parts of me
are you still here ?
more than a ghost
she aches
you slap the anger out of me
I can feel you
wrapped around my life
hold on
release me
our world crumbling
these pieces never fit
you take so much for granted
you chew up and spit on me
like I’m some sort of bitch
you crush your own
chaining the ones you love
Hey it’s me I’m going there
there’s no hate in here
Just an endless cord
leading to the floor
There trapped is my brain
There is no cure
For my pain
Secrets
kept
From my life
So I don’t hurt anyone
Do you remember me?
We used to live here ?
And the walls begged our names
Let go of pain
Let go of pain
let it go
Lending my arm
Lending me harm
Pain is ending soon
say goodbye
say goodbye
say goodbye
goodbye
falling
asleep
almost feels like death
let me go
on my own
turn it off
it crawls out of me
let me sleep
on my own
