Excavate
Brush aside the lust
Interpret the bruises
What is it that you think you see?
Mesmerized by plastic feelings
Heart is pounding
A sense of well being slips further away
(Mind is empty hollow creed)
Heart is pounding
Venomous words
Engorged by love so insincere
Set to decay we sway
Over and over day after day
We fall further away
They promised her a castle
They promised everything
Now she's left with nothing
Except dirt stuck to her name
She's floundering
In the static
Left behind
With nothing
These pillagers of bodies
Our needs
This dark portrayal of love
Is saddening to see
The sorrowful harvest of tender minds
Hormonal subjugation
A tearing of body and mind
I wish that I could feel it
I'd take it out I’d take it home
If I could only know it
If I could just let go
Of this savagery
Squeezing gingerly
My hands around your neck
Pining for an answer
Is this everything you could have wanted
Force fed tales of love and other things
Is this everything you could have wanted
Force fed tales of love and other things
So insincere
Set to decay we sway
Over and over
Day after day
We fall further away

She doesn't remember the time, will never understand why
Afflicted by selfish acts of selflessness, I've seen her fears she shakes at night, she shakes at night
Fissured by your immolation
I don't think I will ever understand your mind
Perhaps the pain of staying overcame the pain of leaving
Ichor seeps of dark candles in place of eyes
Her chest her life her mind on fire
Feverish since the day
The day the knife won
Feverish since the day the knife won
Heaven save your weary soul
(Witnessing something that can't be unseen)
I can tell you
I can tell you she thinks of you every single fucking day
But I don't think she loves you I wish I could tell you otherwise I really wish I could
You only wanted your life but you took her's too
Every holiday she wonders, yearning for you
She's crumbling, her shallow husk withers
Like a letter to a friend fades
Why would you rather die than raise her?
She doesn't remember the time, will never understand why
Her chest, her mind, her life on fire
Feverish since the day the knife won

Shaking possessed by the hands of god the soul bleeds, trickling away
Sunken eyes a sinking ship deeper and deeper
Paler and paler
Master tell me why
Rid me of this pain
Cast out the shadows
They speak without mercy
You can't take me home
I belong alone
Baptized in irrational fear
As the walls cave i feel ever further from myself
The Alienist you will find
He’s trapped inside your mind
Once he finds you
His mind binds with you
The Alienist you will find
He’s trapped inside your mind
Once he finds you
His mind binds with you
Bleeder, bleeder
Everything spilling
Purge it out
Become clean, become new
To live is to die, to die is to live
Shifting like the tides
An effervescent dance between Everest
And Marianas
In flurries
Myopic processing driving rash decisions
Master, master take me home
Rid me of this pain
Molest my mind
Arrogation
Foolish of the body to assert retention
Of the fetid ambience within the ruined precipice
Malevolence heaves
Cast out the shadows
They speak without mercy
You can't take me home
I belong alone
Baptized in irrational fear
As the walls cave i feel ever further from myself
Look into my fucking eyes
There is something wrong with you
Bleed when I tell you
Shake
You fucking wreck, shake
Where am I?
Why am I on the ground?

Descending
Across the skies
Bred into malice
Rhythms running terrifyingly deep
Although we share blood
Only differences our eyes see
We were at peace with the mother
Never squandered her precious gifts
Took only
What we we needed we were at peace
Until you came
You saw the devil in our eyes
Our lands a ripe breast to be molested
You patronized our art
You burned it
Like a witch's final words
Lost in our trees
Devilish beings cut our knees
These hordes swarm like bees
We hear nothing but screams
Nothing but screams
They took our children
To herd like cattle
These cruel ‘shepherds of misery’ Both
Forced orphanage, ‘the catholic dream
Blankets of death, spread our disease
But now, you seek to reconcile
Repent for what was done
Used as a point of pride
A trophy on a decrepit shelf
To win the hearts of men
The violent must defile
Must Defile
We are a nation raped
We are the pale under your bridges
But we are not the silent
We are coming home
Trapped inside this broken world you made for us
You bent our pieces into your twisted puzzle
We are the men and women born in blood
A nation red, a nation dead
We are not the silent
We are coming
