Embrace
02:40

I take no solace in the calm before the storm
I take no happiness when all I feel is utter scorn
We wait like somehow things will change and we'll embrace the light
We're stiff like decomposing bodies waiting for the night
Leave hope behind
Embrace the Dark
Leave hope behind
It's who we are
I wait for screaming, wait for blood spilled, like I know it will
I wait for silence, death is coming, there's an urge to kill
No one can help us as we plead our case upon deaf ears
We lock the door behind us, say goodnight and sleep in fear

Nothing
05:38
|

|
The air you breathe is what I see
You exhale poison into me
I'm slowly drained until there's nothing left inside my body
I choke upon the fumes of death
I know you sensed it on your breath
I cannot focus on the moments in this life that I have left
I can't believe there was a purpose when I look back on the pain
I see no admiration, all I see is emptiness and shame
You must have tried, the life you wanted always fingertips away
And we both end up at death's door the same, I look you in the eyes
Nothing matters
Nothing is worth it
Nothing is what's left in the end
Remember when you were a youth
Ambitious, searching for the truth
Untouchable, they said the world is anything you make it be
As I look back I cannot find the moment that I found the lie
It all just turned to ashes, blown away by gusts of dusty air
And now I struggle just to breathe
These puncture wounds inside of me are spurting blood
and filling up the passage to my lungs
The effort that we soaked in piss is now a pit of nothingness
As is above then so below, that's how the story has to go
There's nothing in me you can take
A blackened heart you cannot break
Void of emotion, I have tried
You're reaching, but I'm dead inside
I'm dead inside

Precipice
03:33
|
|||
|
We're helplessly sincere, castrated by the fear
Of loss, of change, of moving forward in a world that's incomplete
We're breathing water in an ocean of our self-imposed defeat
We're sinking underneath it all
So kill me with your life
I won't put up a fight
I'm here embracing death while you drain me in every way you can
I'm at the precipice
Exhausted from the weight, ensconced in pain, I satieate
For agony, for punctured lungs, to choke on blood, to become numb
To know the feeling of having absolutely nothing to lose
We're sinking underneath it all
|

Understand
03:23
|
|||
|
Are you content?
Are you in pain?
Are you regretful of the choices that you've made?
I see your lips sewn shut, your neck sliced razor cut
I cannot feel a thing when watching while your spilling out the contents of your guts
Do you recognize the face?
Do you find it all ornate?
Do you understand the weight?
We're all dying day by day
Turned to bone and brushed away
Buried, rotting in a grave
We kissed goodbye, the last thing that I think before I die
Is what I could have made priority, instead of living life
I wish the only thoughts, to hear you choke and cough
To feel like you are lost, to understand the price I paid
Was never worth the cost

Exist
03:02
|
|||
|
On a godless winter night I watch the rain turn into ice
Like broken promises, your words alone would not suffice
When the darkness turns to light, would an honest man betray his own eyes?
In a shallow grave of dirt, we twist and turn and grind the pain inside
This life is torture, agony, unbridled pain
This life is shallow, and every day remains the same
Still searching for an answer
A reason to exist
A reason not to drown this pain away
Still searching for an answer
The question still persists
An offer for my blood to cure this name
On a hollow day the same as every other one
I search for ways to prove I'm not my father's sons
Like shattered panes of glass, they are still sharp enough to stab
In a cesspool we call life I watch the skies go from blue to grey
Nothing matters anymore, this road to death is paved with dismay

Irrelevant
02:46
|
|||
|
I cling to breathing like it's life or death
Like there's a reason why
We wake each day with some desire to go on until we die
A pointless journey to a place that we can go at anytime
We're all just moments from decay
Our skin a shell, we liquify
When you think of me, I am a memory
I've already passed to the beyond
When you think of me, embrace the honesty
It's irrelevant, I'm dead and gone
It's like we're crawling through the darkness towards a light that isn't there
Nothing smothered out by nothing, death resulting from despair
I feel your presence like a rotting body laying next to mine
Sand is pouring through the hourglass
We watch it as we die
|

Believe
03:58
|
|||
|
Watch the vision come to life
Carve it with the black of night
See the cracks and crevices filled with the blood pumped in your sight
Hollow craters where a flash of purpose used to serve
To focus on the light
To realize you were born to die
You'll get no resistance from me, I'm waiting for catastrophe
Bracing myself for a fire burning that I can't escape
I won't fight when it's my time, I'll embrace it, watch it shine
See the light and slowly shrink into the darkness, fade away
We don't believe in hope, We don't believe in love
We are the children of a world that your God left behind
We don't believe in pain, We don't believe in change
We are the product of a world that your God left behind
Some quest for answers on specifics
What is waiting when you go?
But there is nothing inside me that would truly care to know
I've accepted what's to come, inevitable, said and done
I won't try to keep at bay the fate that you try to outrun
No faith in justice or in purpose for those of us left behind
Barren landscape full of broken dreams, you say it's by design
God knows I have screamed all I can scream, but never to avail
We only know the outcome, nothing changes, death prevails

Gone
03:17
|
|||
|
Still wasting oxygen, I only pass the time
Just waiting for the day that I can't open up my eyes
The world keeps moving on while roots grow over me
I wasn't meant to flower, just to fertilize the seeds
I'm barely able to hold on
I'm letting go and then I'm gone
No more regret, I'm moving on
Take it all, it won't be long
Enter the dark, I'm moving on
As maggots fill my corpse, your memories of me will stay
And sadness comes of course, you'll be surprised how fast it fades
Then like before I came, your life goes on, it's always true
Finding fleeting fulfillment, biding all your time until it's you

Devotion
04:31
|
|||
|
Force it until it snaps
I cannot fathom how much time has lapsed
Belittled like a child, forced to smile
This never meant that much
I look forward, never blink
I can't allow myself to think
Unsanctioned thoughts lead me astray
Like cattle, I will always stay
I want to find you in my dreams seeking devotion
Show me devotion
I'm alone
A glimpse at what life could have been
A distant memory within
That feeling left, now only pain
That feeling won't be felt again
It was a wish upon a star
But wishes don't go very far
Now hell is melting through my feet
I close my eyes, embrace the heat
|

Eternity
04:30
|
|||
|
You shift your eyes to mine
I look at you and lie, "maybe it turns out fine"
We shar an intellect
We both know what comes next
I hold your hand in mine
We live and breath in hell
A life we can't dispell
But I wake by your side
We grieve through every day
Braced by each other's frame
Forever crucified
When you start to rot away
When you're living your last day
I will be there beside you for eternity
When your body starts to break
When it's more than you can take
I will be there beside you for eternity
And if I'm still alive long enough to be there when you die
I won't go peacefully without you
Without you there's no life
I see an empty house, an empty world, and empty broken heart
That wasn't capable of love until we came together
Eternity
