Broken Eyes

I keep myself intact until you break
I find myself relaxed but you won’t change
I’ve been alone for a while so I’m maimed
I believe the patience is all that I can blame
Don’t say your shrouded words to me
Wake up I’m the one that’s all alone
You’re not the holy ghost that taught me
Shape up we will find our own
And if we can’t see eye to eye what should I believe
Nothing ‘cause I’ll be alive and well
We’ve gone astray our faith dies today
And it decays until we’re in a safe place
Don’t say your shrouded words to me
You are not the holy ghost that taught me everything
It seems like you’re honest but it’s broken
I am your savior but I’m no one
I’m the hand that takes your failures
And I turn it into my profit
But how am I to face myself in the mirror
With eyes that hide what I may have done
What have I done
You sell your soul for nothing more than precious time we’re out of time
Without the ruins our dreams become forgotten
You sell your soul for nothing more than time we’re out of time
I’ll live this day again
This isn’t romance this is a heroic circumstance

Left Behind

I break plans it’s who I am
So take this and tell all your friends
You’re safe and you’re brave to think that you know it all
I’ve done the same shit before and I’m not here to settle scores
And I’m the same shape down to my core
‘Cause I found hope
So take this
This shit is pointless
So abandon this
I’m broken
What the fuck am I doing here
I don’t know but I swear
Every day it’s the same shit
So I can’t win
But if we let the dust settle
Will we live to see the light of day anyway
And when the guilty stand on trial
Where’s the end of all of this it’s our regrets
And where’s that childish smile
The one that we love to bare
It's all right here
When we stand at the edge of the world do we have anywhere left to fall
We all fall the same no matter the changing space
And when the waves come crashing down do we all drown the same
It depends how far you sink when the riptide pulls you in
And when we stand alone god I’ve never felt this cold
When winter came it changed leaving me in that place
So tell me baby girl what’s it like to feel alive
Alive Alive what’s it like to feel alive I’m broken

Prodigal
03:55

Press your hands against my chest
And staple shut my eyes of disgust
It’s easy enough to take the higher road
Watch out you’re a sinner and your savior is not coming home
Raise them high tilt back the flask and set your intentions aside
You were saved by the book and I know this I know I’m right
He came to you that night speaking in tongues
He was the one your prodigal son
Dressed in black overlooking the absolution
Dressed in black overlooking the fact
That in the end do I react
All that he knows is the riches he held
When he set foot in this life and pampered himself
He wants to be loved and he wants to be held
But no one was there when he squandered his wealth
Raise them high tilt it back
Dressed in black overlooking the absolution
Set your intentions aside
Will the sinners make it heaven or will we just fade away
Was it easier without us or was it easier without me

Shapeless
03:55
|

I can’t take myself and this sinking guilt
So I’ll resign shut up shut up I’m listening
I’ll be void of shape if that’s what it takes
To find my place in this in this world
I’ll bleed for you and I’m never coming home until I know
Shape me into something I can’t be myself
Shape me into something just anything else
I’m shapeless uninteresting like a ball of clay
I know I’m worthless without any geometry
I’m tasteless uninteresting like this day
There’s nothing left to say when I bled out all over the place
I try to shape the words but I can’t pick up the phone no one is home
The more and more I try but I can’t find the reason why pick up the phone

Dying Breed
04:28
|

|
Prey on my soft heart
If in fact this is what we were meant to see
I think that we would be better off going blind
You can’t just rewrite the part
This is not what we were promised to be you fucking liar
At least finish what you start
If in fact this is what we were meant to be
I think that we would be better as a dying breed
Kill us all
If words remain the only source of redemption left
May the voices of guilty men fall flat with every fucking word
Betrayed
So you seek to cover the depths of betrayal with your words unspoken
Martyr
But your eyes reveal the truth of the fact the bonds have been broken
Glorious lies
Is your word so cheap you would truly trade it for a token
Go on
The lines have been drawn and the sides chosen
The hardest part is when you came and you walked out
The soul possession of the blame was brought down
And betrayed by the sound of the hand
Slapping the child's cheek in disbelief

Sleep
03:24

Wait are we the same faceless and plain
Objects of a larger plan that we forgot
It’s time for us to face the facts
Divvy them up and make them last
Open wide and show them eyes
For every word and broken line
Every time I try
Breathing my favorite line you wouldn’t bat an eye
Those two eyes fixate on me
It’s a simple exercise that’s shaping you and I
It’s everything it’s everything
You’re a breath of fresh air the more I stare
And fading to smoke it tears do I dare
Face this and break it from this reality
Broken down wasted and problematic
I want to sleep yeah I want to sleep
There’s no patience only broken apologies
I want to sleep yeah I want to sleep
Broken down and wasted
I want to sleep yeah I want to sleep
Two eyes focused on me
and I want to sleep yeah I want to sleep
I want to sleep so bad
But the thoughts of nights past
Lying restless and mentally dead are
Keeping my mind occupied in the least productive way
yet here I lay with familiar sleep depravity
In this moment
I'm defeated
I'm defeated by what I am
And I want to sleep
Wait are we the same selfish and plain
Objects of a larger plan that we forgot
Every second I wait I’m just playing the game

Open Something Dangerous
03:52
|

|
You're blamed for the crimes you committed
The shame you feel is only real
When your gods’ eyes are blank as hell
Your innocence is suffocated
By the fire that burns in your father's eyes
You know he wouldn't think twice
You can't save yourself your light is going out
Rip the pages from the book don't give it a second look
Will God save you now your light has gone out
No need to take your time just read this simple line
It's a simple thing that medicine can't fix inside of a psychopath
Helpless and burnt black accusations by the martyr the nameless prophet
Don't put your bible down go worship your God
Even sacred martyrs run their course
I will go on alone and I will find a way out of this hell you meant well
I think I'm starting to hate you
But all the things that I’ve grown to hate about you
Are things that I fucking hate about myself
This is hell
When we think we destroy

Vacant Crown
02:58
|
|||
|
I bleed myself dry calling out to the vacant crown
Waking time gathering shapes
Surfacing a cold soul breaks
Mind your manners kid I swear I won’t give in
Give into the sickness that you bring
Pessimistic narcissist your faith will fall
Your love died with the rest
Cold heart beating out of your chest
It’s so simplistic well patient your love
Or blame it on the absence of
I found my heart in a good place
Between heaven and hell I’ll reside
It took longer than I thought it would take
But all it means is the king’s demise
We are the guns of the cavalry we’re here for your eyes

Resting Place
03:23
|
|||
|
I blame myself for my lack of health
But if I find the cure to my curse there will be nothing left
This is a price that we can’t sell
But when you pull back on the seams it will unravel everything
Operator operator I need to call on a friend
It’s always the same old shit the same mistakes I did
Take these thoughts away they will not change a thing
I believe it’s all been said take myself and do the same
There’s so much that I want to say
I know I’ll never be the same until I find that place again
But then the floodgate pour on in
And you wouldn’t tell your friends about this
Find your resting place
Find it

King's Blood
03:20
|
|||
|
Stand down I will not stand for this
At night we lurk by the said of the road
In an instance you stand alone
The blood of the king must not live on
And this bloodline will be overthrown
We are no longer forgotten souls
We are just champions looking for a home to call our own
And save us from self destruction
Can you see the king has lost his throne
So let's give him somewhere to sit his weary ass down
Breadwinner is coming home bound by blood to the throne
Betrayed by honest men this champion shall rise again
Entranced by the thought it but you know it don’t mean shit
Falling idols are statuettes of silhouettes fading into darkness

His Right Hand
04:20

Do your worst this time
Break down it’s closing time
Keep yourself in line slow down facedown know the price
I woke up breathing life we know the plan we know the plan we don’t
Take a breath and breathe it in
There is life to your fiction
We’re faceless men of a generation lost in time
So pray for life and you’ll suffice
Am I your son your number one do you know who I’ll become
The symmetry of this lovers kiss
And dancing on graves how could I forget
Breathe in the air a problem we haven’t shared
And all that we know has blown away
A problem a concept a strong ideal to finalize our conscience
Tear apart my broken chest
Honestly I failed the test
Take a look and see what’s left oh
Tear apart my broken chest
Take a look and see what’s left
I will see god alone
