Pawn 02:00
I am truly sorry for me I am truly sorry for the sacrifice Sacrifice their lives for lies Clipping their wings before flight Sacrifice blood to the knife I am truly sorry for me I am truly sorry for the sacrifice Sacrifice children for lies Sacrifice morals for might Sacrifice us for the spite Sacrifice. Sacrifice cries to the night Sacrifice pawns to the knight Sacrifice blood to the knife We’ve got a long way to go With nothing to guide us back home We’ve got a long way to go

Poison 01:38
Sick of love but still lovesick Trapped in the vicious grips Of an unhappy home where you can’t exist Without the threat of violent fits Where the fuck do you go When words become blows? Drowning in the Poison he’d have you believe was in his DNA Or the type of scourge you could just clasp your hands and pray away But when this beast is tired of playing with its prey I just hope that for your sake, it’s not too late Where the fuck do you go When the devil is in your home? Where do you run to now? Tremble at the Peace in-between Biting your tongue Becoming too routine And it bares on your soul Your will disposed Whom ever could condone The devil that’s in your home? And there’s no one to hold Your hand while you roam Where the fuck do you go? When Hell has become your abode

Parasite 02:59
Perception of me Unknown to me We’re each born with a curse Of parasitic control that pulls the strings of our mouths and shifts our shapes in the eyes of one another Actions shaped by critique Are these all just pet peeves? Hide the truth What does your heart see? I’ll displease you How you perceive me Why can’t we see what’s so obvious? Shielded by our egos Why can’t we see what’s so obvious? Shielded by our egos we remain oblivious Actions shaped by critique Are these all just pet peeves? Hide the truth What does your heart see? I’ll displease you; You’ll displease me If beauty is in the eye of the holder Then what about everything else? Perception is our malady I’ll deceive you; You will deceive me

Number 01:40
A number won’t help me I think about it daily A number won’t help me No How young were you the first time You thought "Fuck, I want to die"? Wish to have never been born at all Intrusive thoughts of jumping off But my story wasn’t pitiful enough So I face the days and the weeks You couldn’t lend an open ear I can’t blame you either Because I’m a broken record Not breaking any records A number can’t help me I think about it daily And it’s less scary to me Than torment in old age

Rubberneck 01:48
I can’t look away Peeking at the way you decay For all to see Displays of your errancy But I just feel shitty every time I think that you have kids And you’re raising them to be faithful, hateful, little shits Stuck; Caught in the throes of your fears I’m watching you rot, year after year. Your God is vengeful, but your God’s not here To punish me, or anyone My punishment is seeing you and that loaded gun I can’t look away Peeking at the way you decay For you to see Are displays of my heresy Your God’s not here To punish me Your God’s not here To punish anyone

Dreamless 02:24
I open my eyes and greet the twilight Stare into night A dismal salute to the dying moon I draw the blinds and check the time It’s almost five Another day for me to ruin All is still except for the shadows that roam my street They see me lay witness to them Mocking me Howling in walls, they dance in pairs Sleepless Dreamless Sleepless creep counting sheep Dreamless Sleepless creep counting sheep Dreamless Dream less; In distress Face is pocked and wrinkled By these rituals and superstitions Money spent on poisons for conditions For those meant to tend the flames My eyes are stained by silhouettes Of the time spent on keeping watch Nocturnal emissions and addictions Are the only way I’ll stop Dreamless; Useless Dream less; In distress

Sinking 05:37
From the 2nd story My house becomes a galley Rushing water leaves me stranded Years of warning; A demise so candid I do not acquiesce to whatever’s next Water takes the air around me I do not acquiesce to whatever’s next Water takes the air within me Drowning March us to our graves; lowered to the sea Lock us in our coffins; buried with the keys Brined in a toxic deluge of our own design Pestilent acid rain downpours from the skies No. No. No bailing out, we’re going down with the ship No bailing out, we’re going down with the ship Like it or not, we’re all in this boat, and if it all goes to shit We’re going down with the ship No mutiny; Captain has quit Try to hold on but we’re ill equipped We’re going down with the ship Sinking
