Jesus Fish 04:33
It feels like you're next to me Somehow I can never be free You linger as you're wasting time And now it feels like you're wasting mine Now you're next to me Wanting to believe Want to walk away Walk away for good Wallow I'll believe Wallow I'll believe Wallow I'll believe You try to be something you can't be And it's a hypocrisy You stand there like you can do no wrong You've been here for far too long Now you're next to me Wanting to believe Want to walk away Walk away for good Wallow I'll believe Wallow I'll believe Wallow I'll believe It feels like you're next to me Somehow I can never be free You linger as you're wasting time And now it feels like you're wasting mine Now you're next to me Wanting to believe Want to walk away Walk away for good Wallow I'll believe Wallow I'll believe Wallow I'll believe

Girl you're on my mind Been now for quite sometime Safe in my heart Where you been from the start. And now I'm here without you Bleeding dry Because I Am here here waiting They'll try to justify When they make you cry Until you decide Your heart has to hide And now I'm here without you Bleeding dry Because I Am here here waiting Give it one more try Before you let it die Give it one more try Before we let it die Want to believe that I'm sane Want to believe that I'm sane Want to believe that I'm sane Want to believe Girl you're on my mind Been now for quite sometime Safe in my heart Where you been from the start And now I'm here without you Bleeding dry Because I Am here here waiting

Anomaly 04:57
You can’t complain about the rain If you’re not standing underneath of it And you’ll agree when you see You can become your own worst enemy Then you’ll find you were left behind The whole world passes by The whole world passes by Your own enemy Your anatomy An anomaly Tear yourself apart and I’m fine Your own enemy Your anatomy An anomaly Tear yourself apart and I’m fine You can’t explain why they’re insane If you're not eating your own own shit You’d rather be what you think is free But you’re still a prisoner internally Where you remain blind your state of mind Is that the whole worlds your enemy The whole worlds your enemy Your own enemy Your anatomy An anomaly Tear yourself apart and I’m fine Your own enemy Your anatomy An anomaly Tear yourself apart and I’m fine Suffer and now I’m fine You can’t complain about the rain If you’re not standing underneath of it And you’ll agree when you see You can become your own worst enemy Then you’ll find you were left behind The whole world passes by The whole world passes by Your own enemy Your anatomy An anomaly Tear yourself apart and I’m fine Your own enemy Your anatomy An anomaly Tear yourself apart and I’m fine Suffer and now I’m fine Tear yourself apart I’m fine

The serpent is staring at the sun You fall asleep never to awake You fall away never to be found You fall away... I'm losing my mind I've lost my sight I'm losing my mind I've lost my mind The servant serving off a golden plate We eat it up before it's too late They serve it up shove it in our face Once is enough... I'm losing my mind I've lost my sight I'm losing my mind I've lost my sight I saw thru you I saw thru you I saw thru you I saw thru you The serpent is staring at the sun We fall asleep never to awake We fall away never to be found You fall away... I'm losing my mind I've lost my sight I'm losing my mind I've lost my mind I saw thru you I saw thru you I saw thru you I suffer thru you

Breaking 04:14
You seem to think I’ll alleviate the pain When in fact I live with it everyday Can’t decide where to hide Empathy, jealousy In your eyes I can see Your disguise is breaking You seem to think I’ll abbreviate the pain When in fact it will outlive us some day Can’t decide where to hide Empathy, jealousy In your eyes I can see Your disguise is breaking Dissected in larval state Circumcised the unborn They seem to think these thoughts won’t stain When in fact they’re killing us everyday Can’t decide where to hide Empathy, jealousy In your eyes I can see Your disguise is breaking

This is belated But you’re so jaded I’m not devastated That your memories have faded She said to me there’ll be brighter tomorrows But it was hard to look to brighter days When we lived inside fear’s shadow But the day it finally came My only friends they are pretend They’re all in my head and that’s a lie I masturbated It’s overrated And all I remember Can’t be dismembered She said to me there’ll be brighter tomorrows But it was hard to look to brighter days When we lived inside fear’s shadow But the day it finally came My only friends they are pretend They’re all in my head and that’s a lie That’s my disease now Everythings my fault And I can’t let it go now It’s carbon dated And you’re still hated It’s hard to swallow The fact you're so shallow My only friends they are pretend They’re all in my head and that’s a lie That’s my disease now And everythings my fault I can’t let it go now

Here I am laying wide awake Replaying in my mind a life's worth of mistakes They're all next to me, Forever asleep Hollow eyes are staring through me Free your mind So divine Free your mind

Superglue 02:28
This is exactly what you wanted This is exactly what you need Follow me and I will take you To a place that doesn't exist Only In my mind, and yours You try to blame me But it's not my fault You couldn't see I'm dying inside And it's because of you You are the super glue You hold it all together Without you theres no order Everything just falls apart When I tell you I need you here It just means I don't want to fall alone You try to blame me But it's not my fault You couldn't see I'm dying inside And it's because of you

Suisociety 03:24
There are kids sleeping on the street Starving with no food to eat While you sit in your comfy chair But you don't care We don't need no alcohol We don't need no drugs at all We don't want your make believe We won't be the ones to leave We won't be the ones to lose We can live the way choose We are all individuals And we're free You sit there with a grin in your comfy chair Nodding your head in agreeance but you don't care As long as it's all according to your plan No sleep lost over killing your fellow man We don't need no alcohol We don't need no drugs at all We don't want your make believe We won't be the ones to leave We won't be the ones to lose We can live the way choose We are all individuals And we're free You sit there with a grin in your comfy chair Nodding your head in agreeance but you don't care As long as it's all according to your plan No sleep lost over killing your fellow man We don't need no alcohol We don't need no drugs at all We don't want your make believe We won't be the ones to leave We won't be the ones to lose We can live the way choose We are all individuals And we're free You sit there with a grin in your comfy chair Nodding your head in agreeance but you don't care As long as it's all according to your plan No sleep lost over killing your fellow man

Termites 03:10
This shall be the end if fear Take a good look and smash the fucking mirror Piece by piece we'll tear it all apart Then rebuild it all from the start Insignificant and lost to the eyes Stripped away and deprived of the disguise Disenchanted youth swept beneath a rug Put in place to live amongst the bugs We'll never survive The title wave They've waxed our wings So we can't fly away Covered in termites Thousands crawling across my skin Covered in termites Somehow I've become their king Covered in termites Creeping and writhing from within Covered in termites And I am now their king Disenthralled and stuck down below Led to slaughter but no one will ever know Subject of presence sponsored fear Take your face and smash it against the mirror Constant regress of fear Transparency staring in the mirror A great darkness is looming near Sky is swallowed as it disappears We'll never survive The title wave They've waxed our wings So we can't fly away Covered in termites Thousands crawling across my skin Covered in termites Somehow I've become their king Covered in termites Creeping and writhing from within Covered in termites And I am now their king This shall be the end if fear Take a good look and smash the fucking mirror Piece by piece we'll tear it all apart Then rebuild it all from the start Insignificant and lost to the eyes Stripped away and deprived of the disguise Disenchanted youth swept beneath a rug Put in place to live amongst the bugs We'll never survive The title wave They've waxed our wings So we can't fly away Covered in termites Thousands crawling across my skin Covered in termites Somehow I've become their king Covered in termites Creeping and writhing from within Covered in termites And I am now their king

Flying 02:59
I’d rather be Smothering From inside Than be left behind I’m flying so high above the pain It’s like I’ll never feel it again It’s like it’s always been here inside my mind Now here I stand exposing all that’s inside She said to me She’d rather be Suffering Than be with me I’m flying so high above the pain It’s like I’ll never feel it again It’s like it’s always been here inside my mind Now here I stand exposing all that’s inside Callusing Aortic valves Have stopped the flow Before letting go I’m flying so high above the pain It’s like I’ll never feel it again It’s like it’s always been here inside my mind Now here I stand exposing all that’s inside

Peel Away 03:49
Float while sinking in sorrow Afraid while letting go Watch the ground approach as I fall You can throw it all away And I will crawl away I’ll now crawl away for good Peel away The memories that I saved of you As you tear away I won’t need them To forever intoxicate A part of me You couldn’t see Walls coming down Walls crumbling We could have built What you have killed Thrown away in me Pour bleach upon the shell Scrub away her smell Fill the wounds with salt and leave them open Burn the ghost of you I know they suffered too Now they watch the bodies fall Peel away The memories that I saved of you As you tear away I won’t need them To forever intoxicate A part of me You couldn’t see Walls coming down Walls crumbling We could have built What you have killed Thrown away in me I’m high while sinking down Maintain while letting go Watch the ground approach as I fall You can throw it all away And I will crawl away I’ve now crawled away for good Peel away The memories that I saved of you As you tear away I won’t need them To forever intoxicate A part of me You couldn’t see Walls coming down Walls crumbling We could have built What you have killed Thrown away in me

Purged 05:23
There comes a time When you walk the line It's a faded line And then you'll burn alive We don't need to be like you Then they feel the need Just to watch you bleed There is unity Hidden in catastrophe We don't need to be like you We will live the way we choose We won't be your sacrifice We refuse to be like you It's not everyday That you get to say Things will be okay As they decay We don't need to be like you It all feels the same When we push the blame, On to our brain It's a crying shame We don't need to be like you We will live the way we choose We won't be your sacrifice We refuse to be like you Like you Like you Like you Like you There comes a time When you walk the line It's a faded line And then you burn alive We don't need to be like you Then they feel the need Just to watch you bleed There is unity Hidden in catastrophe We don't need to be like you We will live the way we choose We won't be your sacrifice We refuse to be like you Like you Like you
