s not to our own damnation

I've seen What hatred brings.
I've seen the flesh of kings
Blinded my eyes my mouth
You've sewn it shut
Protecting me from fucking up?


2. Ghost

I feel the things I said but
Never said how I felt
I know I waited much to long
Could I get it in your head

Without a hit below the belt
Looking back it seems that I
Went about it all wrong.
Lying alone in the bed we

Made watching headlights on
The shade The ghost thats
Sleeping by your side are my
Promises to you that died.

Was it long ago When forever
Was our friend
But now freedoms What I feel inside
It hurts so much to let you go

To know we'll never touch again
When I walk if I fall down
Can I take it in stride?
I night let you go but I'll
Never go away


3. Swallow Me (The Real You)

Everythings changed
All ties are strained to say the least.
Concepts deranged its just the way I see you
I only see the real you

You cant swallow me.
I'm jagged as the pill you choke on
You cant swallow me as long
As I can see the real you
I cant bе blamed to feel this
Way more and more.
Everythings strange

I wont let you pull me down
I got my shit together now
I Wont let you pull me down
I got my shit together


4. Born A Beggar

As the day breaks through the doorway
And in still chained to this house
But you call me and
I follow and act like im so proud.

Still reading the sidewalk
And it smells like morning news
And I dont know Why i still cant seem
To pull away from you.
Watch the window
Time means nothing.
Watch the window til I
See you coming.

Born a beggar will you ever see me more
Pavlovs hungry dog see no colors
Live another day
To feed on everything you are.
When the day sleeps and
The sunshine no longer burns my eyes
And the sound of your footsteps
Is the only thing that lies between me
And the feeling that life is these four walls
That cage me completely just waiting on your call.
I run for you and fall so hard.
My secrets are buried in the yard.


5. Thick Is The Skin

Eightball hanging overhead flushed
Out like Frankenstien one more
For the living dead thats
Nnot me this time knocked down
I've been down before yet
Still we bare the load
If I could want it anymore
I just might explode

All your heroes have died
And left you to rise from the ashes
And live for today Can you take it

All When we're standing tall
We don't need a wall built
Around us Jump into the flame
One and all the same we won't feel the pain

Thick is the Skin
Thick is the Skin
Outside still looking in
I'll keep What I've made mine
Timebomb strapped to my chin
Step down or fall in line


6. See You Around

I never promised you the sunshine
You never handed mе the
Moon we're pulling threads
Out of our faded silver lining
We've grown out of our cocoon
The last train is leaving
There's nothing more that
I can say I didn't mean to bring
Yоu down I guess I'll see you around

I left the best of mу intentions.
Took it one day at a time
Its not like all is lost
Or that the world is ending we've
Just fallen from the vine.
Whatever direction we go rest
Assured the one thing we know things
Just really didn't go our way


7. Mouth Of Voodoo

You're testing my patience
I've got nothing but time
You'll never break down the
Walls in my mind. Your fetishes
Are nothing more than a game
When I truly test your threshold
Of pain. Let me be in your
Ceremony burn we in your ritual

I can rise with you below me
We'll walk in time as we fall
Into the mouth of voodoo
Then we can shine, shine, shine
And I'm sure the sun won't mind
Then we can shine, shine, shine
Your love is so blinding my lust
Is a curse its painful to wonder
But waiting is worse
You're sticking your pins now
Its taking its toll
crush and obsession leave scars
On your soul


8. One Light

Theres a sound in my head.
Holy wine, breakin' bread between time
And What we said drifts the innocence
We've shed. In this moment
There's a day for
A sad and broken babe.

There's a fracture on this hallowed ground
Where we lay One light burns, one
Light fades. Behind the door are
Better days. When the light
Shines on mе I'll know the World
Still turns.One light burns.
There's a prayer on the wall.

One bу one say them all.
Why we run before we crawl stands
The reasons that we fall
In the flower there's a field. Sublime
But so surreal. There's a fracture on
This sacred ground to bе healed.


10. Lamb

I have been here for so long
I've carried all the
'til something pulls
Me underneath the tide.
Climb to where the air is thin so
I can breath again. Still it
Makes me wonder deep inside.
Nothin's free, no-one
Bleeds, we're all machines.
Shadows of your sins are
Following you.

When it sucks you in its swallowing you,
King of the mountain thats
What I am. Everybodys
Someone elses sacrificial lamb.
Space between the world
And me, defying gravity
'til something pulls
Me closer to the ground.
Drink the chemicals we spill.
Our eye is on the kill
While hell is freezing over, over.


11. Down From Underground

Building shrines to gods youll
Never know praying for rain
Setting for snow.Spinning out of
Times to beats impaired, do you
Know your name do you even care?
Ccan you live your life staring at
The lights naked on the ice? if it
Comes to fast Will you get it
Back when it all goes black?
Down. Goin down.
Goin down from. Down frоm underground.
Icons that you hail are all mechanical.

Feeling the pull lost in the fold
Digging through a hole of discontent
What did you learn?
Or did you forget?
And just what should real life be?
Why dont you show mе the
Fiction of reality.
Тhis so called life that I see
And just real life shown mе
Cаnt be what you have Shown me


12. Hittin' A Wall

Peel me like dead skin hate
To the bone drag you
Through my field of thorns
And drop you like а stone
Hold mе under water
Kick me to the curb
All my wolves are at your door
Take me at my word
Hittin a wall were hittin a wall

You look at me and
You're seeing a monster
You ain't seen it all

If you're almighty holier than thou seems
We've got a discrepancy
We should solve it now
I've built a bigger
Mountain now you want it gone
If you expect to beat
Me down brother bring it on.
You want to wrestle with
My morals you think theres something
I can learn You
Toss me out like an abortion
And I'm the one that fucking burns?
