The Traitor
02:38

Forever trapped within
Bringing me down, breathing defeat
Forever trapped within
A traitor lives in me
I'm just a fucking ghost
Dead stare at the crowd
I'm my own enemy,
Day by day I'm losing ground
A smile from ear to ear
Along the faces I see
All filled up with cheer
I feel no sympathy
No quiet peace inside of me
No quiet peace inside my skin
Fulfilled in ecstasy
The tense forced grins
The numbness they distill
Let them choke in bliss
Found ill company
Surrounded by disease
Inside the labyrinth I sleep
(Forever trapped within)
I found no quiet peace inside of me
How can you be so full with joy I still don't believe
I found no quiet peace inside my skin
Forgetting is a goal I still can't achieve
He wont let me forget
The traitor's in my head
No quiet peace inside of me
No quiet peace inside my skin
The traitor lives in me

Leech

Hoarding recognition
One praise at a time
Dragged by ambition
But not a raise, not a dime
You're nearly there, one more week
No rest, no friends and no fucking sleep
Just sick sick sick sick sick
Broke the record, such a lad
A new account but cracked your back
Afterhours for those bonus crumbs
Green with envy, blackened heart
Just sick sick sick
Greed with envy, empty dreams
Just sick sick sick
Sick sick sick
Grasping at straws trying to succeed
Climbing others backs, nothing yours to keep
You fucking leech
Greed and envy, empty dreams
Nothing yours to keep
You fucking leech

Past days, again
Flood inside my head
A stalemate, a still frame
I won't play again
Past days, again
A stalemate, a still frame
I won't play again
Can't recall where it all went wrong
Dizzy memories, sinking slow
This current never stops
And I'm falling down the slope
Still look back, but I won't return
Gotta let it go, gotta let it go
Stuck in an endless fall
Fall back on, I fall back on past days
Wash me out, wash me out, wash me out
In stagnant waters drowning
With every drink I'm downing
Days I remember gold
Gotta let it go, gotta let it go
Was I a better man before?
I've let myself follow the flow
I've let myself follow the flow
There's gold in my throat, serpents hunting my tears
Licking on my dead crown
These burdens have dragged me down below
Let the ache in my guts follow, flow
Keep sinking down
Keep sinking down

Ashes to hushes
Dust to the lust
Everything's broken
Turned into rust
The trap got overlooked
Lost seconds bore no clues
What was I left to use
No cure, just blues
Was born to lose
Your eyes pierced inside
There's no excuse
I need to shoot
An arrow through the muse
I need to stab the heart
I need to shoot
An arrow through the muse
Ashes to hushes
Dust to the lust
Everything's broken
Turned to rust
Ashes to hushes
Dust to the lust
Everything's broken
Turned to rust
Shoot the arrow
End the curse
Shoot the arrow
Was born to lose
Your eyes pierced inside
There's no excuse
I need to shoot
An arrow through the muse
I need to stab the heart
I need to shoot
An arrow through the muse
Shooting to end the curse
Trapped, rotten, overlooked
I've found no helpful cure
Left me with all the blues

No Absolution
02:25
|

A question I won't ask
No answer is worth the time
Your blissful face says it all about the cause
A bright light, a white lie to hold on tight
No absolution
There is no fare for your sanctity
I feed the god in me with loath and misery
I won't beg, I know there is
No absolution for my sins
Every day, I'd put my faith away
Embrace the earth, undo me piece by piece
No absolution
No hidden meaning is worth the sacrifice
We are all by ourselves inside the open dark
Has life become a drag?
Survival justified?
Breathe and cry, breed and die, close the casket
All the rest is naught or lies

Behind/Beyond
03:40

In a corner I stand, with prying eyes
I watch inside while your body lays in bed (lays in bed)
You hear those steps, a rumble downstairs
Laughing silent, I've conquered your head
You crave despaired
I follow the swallow, the pills you take
Take fright, you think you saw me again
You crave despaired
You can't contain me in
I resurrect
In forked tongues, I whisper those words
Beneath your skin, I slither deep
Your palms shake, you think you're awake
But I'm in control, you crawl for another pill
And another one
Another you
You crave despaired
I follow the swallow, the pills you take
Take fright, you think you saw me again
You crave despaired
You can't contain me in
I resurrect
So while you sleep I'll follow you deep
I'm inside you, I won't leave
