No one is safe
It’s bound to break down
Keep on reaching out
I keep on reaching out
It’s all at stake
And taking its toll.=
Push it into place
Force the fracture of order
Another life
From every inch we have gained and lost again
A better place
What bitter promise have I sheltered in desire
-
Let my heart unravel slow
While I fade into the blaze
Re-emerge when life is still
Only to vanish in its wake
No more faith
No more cold hell
My hands have cut the hand
That guide these hands of mine
To survive
On the whims
Bent and torn
From the distance
All my life
To deform
A frame of mind
I’m here at the alter
A paradise
In every relic we have shaped and stowed away
Another time
Some cherished meaning in a moment long ago
-
When it’s gone we’ve given in
Bound by memory down below
Hold it close, march on within
A life that ends where it must go
No more faith
No more hell
Hands on my face
Pressing down on me
I keep on reaching
“A survivor. Unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.”
To survive
On the whims
Bent and torn
From the distance
All my life
To deform
A frame of mind
I’m here at the alter
I keep on reaching out
To survive
On the whims
Bent and torn
From the distance
All my life
To deform
A frame of mind
I’m here at the alter

Cult of Immediacy

Drive
Drive all night
Where the rituals line each side of the road
Live
Live your life
Crawling out of the of the skin they built for you
Time
Time it flies
Can you feel the impromptu grip of the blame
Stay
Stay out late
Til the light of the day if it’s what it takes
It took all of my friends to come around
When it’s all that we had we make a sound
I can keep it in tact
And keep they’re hands away
-
It took all of my friends to come around
When it’s all that we had we make a sound
I can keep it in tact
And dance til the light of day
-
The cult of immediacy
Tell
Tell me again
They were praying with all 4 hands to god
Let
Let it dissolve
Crawling out of the skin they built for you
Rise
Rise and fall
What we want to be changing stays the same
Stay
Stay out late
Til the light of the day show me what it takes
It took all of my friends to come around
When it’s all that we had we make a sound
I can keep it in tact
And keep they’re hands away
-
It took all of my friends to come around
When it’s all that we had we make a sound
I can keep it in tact
And dance til the light of day
-
The cult of immediacy

Fanning The Flame
04:39

You struck a chord
And carry just the bare essentials
Empty eyes and cyanide for days
We’re splitting hairs
And feeding my aggression
It isn’t me who’s standing here
-
So hit the nerve
Until my veins are black and blue
I’m always standing in the corner of the hallway
... of the hallway
Sharp as knives
I’m not afraid
So let them try
To underestimate
-
This place is not for me and you
Fanning the flames
I’m always standing in the corner of the hallway
We’re fanning the flames
This place is not for me and you
You crossed a line
And flaunt obscure and strange medallions
Solar flairs, these remnants of the plague
We’re getting by
On myth and superstition
This isn’t you there’s no one there
-
I’ll hit the nerve
Until you’ve broken us in two
I’ll still be standing in the corner of the hallway
...of the hallway
Sharp as knives
I’m not afraid
So let them try
To underestimate
-
This place is not for me and you
Fanning the flames
I’m always standing in the corner of the hallway
We’re fanning the flames
This place is not for me and you
I said we’re fanning the flames
I’m always standing in the corner of the hallway
I said we’re fanning the flames
This place is not for me and you
Fanning the flame

Afterimage
Lifted up the fragments of grace
Every instinct fell
Upon the weight on my shoulders
I told her to stay
She showed me the way
I searched for the key
To heaven
It’s pressing down upon me
As the world goes by
It’s digging deeper in
And slowly I surrender
Pick up the pieces
Of the things I never had
Look for the memories
When there’s nothing to remember
-
It seems so easy to forget
-
And yet
I fell in love with the future
I fell in love with the price we pay
I fell in love with the future
After the images fade away
Afterimage
Rose above the hands on my face
All the rain came down
Upon the weight on my shoulders
I rose from the grave
And wasted away
While holding the key
To heaven
It’s pressing down upon me
As the world goes by
It’s digging deeper in
And slowly I surrender
Pick up the pieces
Of the things I never had
Look for the memories
When there’s nothing to remember
It seems so easy to forget
-
And yet
I fell in love with the future
I fell in love with the price we pay
I fell in love with the future
After the images fade away
-
I fell in love with the future
I fell in love with the light of day
I fell in love with the future
After the images fade away

Sleeper Cell
05:04
|

Owed all you have needed
In the dark the debt pays out
Do not look down
-
Hold on to a feeling
In the light as worlds collide
It burns inside
In search of sanctum, falling further away
Dystopic permanence we dance in the sun
Eyes watching closely
No signal or sign
-
Carelessly tending to your wounded and dead
Watch as he flinches, weakness leaving his heart
Time passes slowly
No memory, no life, no pain
Dormant, volatile and tame
Harbors all that lies in wait until
Fractured, fraught, a dark unnamed
This trigger pulls, bent to my will
Strike and clasp a rift un-quelled
Swift crashing flanks to formless black
Hold them close, a voice compels
Panic attacks a sleeper cell
Owed all you have needed
In the dark the debt pays out
Do not look down
-
Hold on to a feeling
In the light as worlds collide
The gift of life
Lost and elated, hours fritter and waste
Put down the animal, control the condemned
Keep breathing deeply
Give nothing away
-
Depraved indifference unencumbered, enthralled
A pound a flesh, a hole the size of your head
Partitioned patients
The breaking of load bearing walls
No sanctum, no sign!
New eyes, no signal!
No memory, no life
There is no pain!
Dormant, volatile and tame
Harbors all that lies in wait until
Fractured, fraught, a dark unnamed
This trigger pulls, bent to my will
Strike and clasp a rift un-quelled
Swift crashing flanks to formless black
Hold them close, a voice compels
Panic attacks...!
No sanctum, no sanctum, no sign
Dormant, volatile and tame
Harbors all that lies in wait until
Fractured, fraught, a dark unnamed
This trigger pulls, bent to my will
Strike and clasp a rift un-quelled
Swift crashing flanks to formless black
Hold them close, a voice compels
Panic attacks a sleeper cell!

Cape May
05:45

When we fall
And all we know is gone
Our silent dreams will walk the world
And our souls will stand in the sun light
-
Out in the waves I have been
With no one in my skin
Can we go away
Islands of my nothingness
Are home when I’m in love
With you
Close to me today
Shades of gold and auburn
Dance between the shadows cast
On your face
Whispering to you
All you are is all I believe in
Out on the shore
Where we go down for the day
I want to be where we are
So long as I am with you
Then I’ll stay
I wanted all of your heart
And all of your love at Cape May
Lost in black
Across the tied we stroll the wade
Bound by the words that come to life
As all though your voice parades through eternity
Out in the waves I will be
Forgetting all I’ve seen
I want to come to life
Out on the shore
Where we go down for the day
I want to be where we are
So long as I am with you then I’ll stay
I’ll give you all of my heart
And all of my love at Cape May
Here where we are
Here is today
All of my heart
All of my love at Cape May
