- August
Take me, take me back there, baby
You travel back and forth
Drift in and out
House your things, and you have me where you want
It's all brand new
In a time so haunting
Breathless to this euphoric taunting
- Awakening
Miriam, won't you rest your weary eyes?
Drift away until you revive
Take the fruit, a venomous truth
And pay the price for your crime
Your eyes, kindled by the lamps of Paradise
for a moment, gazed through mine
Exposing my insides
- Forest of Error
Right - at the bottom of night
I was lost
Perilous, distraught
And taking my armor down
Down -
Can you hear the sound?
Echoes like a cry
- Halves
I gave this to myself because I needed some time
I've been broken, I've been chased by all that is undefined
So I came here again, in hopes to reconnect
From the terror denying me the comfort of rest
And I don't know whether or not I'm getting better
In this body of halves that I own
And I don't know whether or not you're getting tired
- Reverse Side
You crucify yourself
And I will not stand by
While you beg for salvation at the same time...
Watching you writhe
I reminded you, so patiently, the careful way to handle me
And this time I say goodbye
You handed me ammunition
- The Gift
I am still waiting for a change
'Cause this is what makes me feel alive
And finally, inspiration came
And leaving, softer than a sigh
Possibly they were still there - only medicated
And diminishing doses reveal how far I've made it
I still honor that moment, once upon a time
- Undying Hero
My time is gone
The world is done
But for the better good
We must keep on!
Ruins of what we could be
Washed up on unfamiliar sand
And I wake to another day
In this uncharted land
- Vexilla Regis
Broken in three
You're so easy to read, still, now
How can you turn to me under that weight of deceit
You carry around so proud?
The treacherous king squandered the crown
She's your cocaine, but I'm from
Your bowels of shame
I'm your shit stain
- Wrath On the Styx
I've been silent, letting this sit
Stoic and unmoved -- know this is what I meant
If Dante had his way, then so will I
By the fire rain, you'd want me burned alive
For my crimes, you claim, against nature
But you would sit frozen at the center
For your crimes against your very own
For treachery is the worst sin one could condone
