The Narrow

I am a child born of empty promises
Longing for a world that will never come
Powers beyond my control have no need for me
I am condemned to wander in search of meaning
Adrift, unsure
Vultures creep
Calling, calling down
I hear them speak
Heed! You! This warning I bestow
Turn! Back to your place and
Bow! Down! At the feet of
Living machinery, progress comes at any price
I! Will! Own the hours of
Your! Life! Your hands shall splinter
Bring! Me! My daily bounty
Woe unto you that you should see
This time
In decline
For no thought can exist outside a narrow paradigm
Making way
Empowering evil to normalize its place
Weathered
Already a shell, a husk yet so young
Unclean
Cutting through flesh, this culture of suffering
Am I alone?
Are there others
Who've been exploited just like me?
Your blood shall grease the gears, so my fortune can rise
You are my instrument, I'll use you as I like
Extract all I can from you, bleeding you dry
Wallow in scarcity while begging for your life
Begging for your life
Know! Your! Place and don’t complain
All! Beneath me need to
Suffer! As it's always been
The old will loathe you if you're free
You! Are! Expendable and
There! Will! Always be more
Cogs! To! Fill my machine
This is your life, now don't step out of
Line
In decline
For no thought can exist outside a narrow paradigm
Making way
Empowering evil to normalize its place
I am a child born of empty promises
But I shall not let these leeches take my will
Though I may wander, no meaning yet made clear
These hands shall bleed in the name of avarice no more

Imposter
04:24
|

Lying to myself and everyone close to me
Maintaining a safe arms-reach, manufactured scarcity
This barricade is comforting, safe familiarity
But this self-imposed solitude is killing me
Winter slips in through the cracks
Leaving its traces upon my skin
The walls' foundations are crumbling
The outside's prying hands crawling in
I wonder if what we see, can it be, insight to this entity
Is there more to me?
Wearing these armored plates suffocates, nothing new can be sown
Unmake this stone
Live beneath this mask of might: none will need to know
Failing upwards makes a life: all it can bestow
Am I just a shallow nothing of a human being with fuck all to say?
Am I just some white noise crowding up the airways blocking off another's way?
Will I be discovered; an imposter posing as a worthy one?
If I am to be exposed, let this be the hour when the work is begun
The windows to the soul are opening
These truths are laid bare
(Live beneath this mask of might)
Am I afraid of anything
We may find there?
(Failing upwards makes a life
Failing upwards makes a life)
First steps out beyond the veil
Tethering, severing, growing thin
The unknown embraces me
So another story can begin
I wonder if what we see, can it be, insight to this entity
Is there more to me?
Wearing these armored plates suffocates, nothing new can be sown
Unmake this stone

Love Will Tear Us Apart
03:38
|

When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
And love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
And love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
There's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good, that just can't function no more
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Revenant

Feel the serpent's kiss I give
The venom takes it hold
My poison infects all who know me
They shall not grow old
Into the depths within yourself
Is where my evil leads
Now that you've felt my embrace
I will forever feed
Chaos!
Rampant in this temple
As you bend to my will
Nothing!
Thrives within my grasp
But the excrescence that I fill
I!
Control your every thought
And your will to live
Drain you slowly of all life
Until there's nothing left to give
I will always haunt you
I am the shadow that you fear
I will always haunt you
I will lead you to your end
I will seep into your mind
And tamper with your soul
Your tainted conscious will be mine
In your veins my evil flows
Chaos!
Rampant in this temple
As you bend to my will
Nothing!
Thrives within my grasp
But the excrescence that I fill
I!
Control your every thought
And your will to live
Drain you slowly of all life
Until there's nothing left to give
Feel my evil, know it well
In this golem where you once dwelled
Feel my evil, all destroyed
Relinquished, embrace the void
Chaos!
Rampant in this temple
As you bend to my will
Nothing!
Thrives within my grasp
But the excrescence that I fill
I!
Control your every thought
And your will to live
Drain you slowly of all life
Until there's nothing left to give
I will always haunt you
I am the shadow that you fear
I will always haunt you
I will lead you to your end

Only In Dreams
05:28
|
|||
The rays of a new spring morning
The memories that I would never trade
Though your recollections faltered
The love in your smile did not fade
Even if it takes a lifetime, I will find peace
I hope you found it too
We'll meet again, We'll meet again
Even if it's only in dreams
We'll meet again, We'll meet again
Even if it's only in dreams
The pictures on your wall bore faces
Of the lives that you touched, not alone
Even if some pathways are lost now
You keep me warm with thoughts of home
Even if it takes a lifetime, I will find peace
I hope you found it too
We'll meet again, We'll meet again
Even if it's only in dreams
We'll meet again, We'll meet again
Even if it's only in dreams
