PLEASURE AND PAIN
Infinite, the ultimate expression of who I am; incredulous, the barren definition of a dying man.Presumptuous to assume that a tomb is not the body you're walking in, in all of us is a sin that begins and doesn't end until we siphon the last breath.
I am alive inside of your truth, I am your proof.
We are all the light of the sun and the moon, and we will be the same as one.
You are just a reflection of all that you see and you are always alive in me.
We are only one in the same in pleasure and pain.
Permissive, the fatal flaw of a forgiving god; dismissive, reactionary to all of the laws above.
Reverse it into the wake of mistakes and see the cosmos exploding, deserve it, in the land of the sages we render the verdict.
I am alive inside of your truth, I am your proof.
We are all the light of the sun and the moon, and we will be the same as one.
You are just a reflection of all that you see and you are always alive in me.
We are only one in the same in pleasure and pain.
My weakest pleasure, deranged and a sense of abandon,
Tame in the wake of a tyrant, survive in the aftermath, nothing comes after that moment of fiction and friction is truth.
I am aware that I'm vicious.
We are all the light of the sun and the moon, and we will be the same as one.
You are just a reflection of all that you see and you are always alive in me.
I am just a piece of perfection in you, I see your eyes and you see it too.
We are only one in the same, pleasure and pain .
BASEMENT
Colour-coded blasphemy, this really strange anatomy, is this really my life, something isn't right.The ambiguity, this whole damn conspiracy playing out in my head, something isn't right.
I never wanted this, I never asked for it, but this is what you gave me.
Stranger than a massacre, this homicidal afterbirth, I am not a stranger to living with the anger.
I don't need a miracle, I just need a place to go, send me to the angels and tell God I said goodbye.
I never wanted this, I never asked for it, but this is what you gave me.
I could care less about the world sometimes, a certain inspiration takes me to the afterlife, I'll see you on the other side.
Nothing ever takes away the shit that I see every day with total inconsistency, so fuck the whole conspiracy, so long, I'm fucking gone.
I never wanted this, I never asked for it, but this is what you gave me, why would you forsake me?
FALLING APART
Look inside the picture frame, the faces have been empty for so long; you are a prisoner, the story is sinister.Only memory remains, the space is only empty when you're gone; today is apocalypse, the story is on your lips.
I can't save you.
Every time I try to redirect your eyes, to see through to the real you,
You push me to the side every single time, and I can't help you from falling apart again.
Every day is a tragedy and everything is dying anyway, I'm not afraid to die, the memories multiply.
Hope is just a breath away, you hear it when the angels call your name; is anyone listening, the deity is beckoning.
I can't save you.
Every time I try to redirect your eyes, to see through to the real you,
You push me to the side every single time, and I can't help you from falling apart again.
Why?
The journey to save yourself is but a reflection of the dreams you have that try to separate you from heaven and hell.
You want to quit but never will, because it's already over.
RESURRECTION
Rise up!Broken, misery, adjectives for my heart, stifled consistently right from the start.
I watched you burn alive and from the ashes you rise.
Strip down and separate the things you really need here, dissolve and dissipate everything that I fear.
There's monsters in the closet, they're hiding under the bed, an analogue composite of the illusions inside my head.
I watched you burn alive and from the ashes you rise, it should be no surprise, you were always a phoenix in disguise.
My actions criticised, my intentions demonised, the negative redirected and the enemy now I recognise.
The atrophy is pushing me deeper down into the storm; divine, come alive and make me reborn.
I watched you burn alive and from the ashes you rise, it should be no surprise, you were always a phoenix in disguise.
The phoenix never dies.
Rise!
STARDUST
I know this place, it smells like innocence lost, we left the traces of the sins we bought,But I wouldn't change a thing, it's just a waking dream.
Look at the wake from the stardust pouring from your eyes.
It's no mistake, you are perfect in my mind, and you won't fade away.
I know this face, it's so familiar, I'm sure I know you but it's all a blur.
Now I can't recall a thing, it's such a wicked dream.
Look at the wake from the stardust pouring from your eyes.
It's no mistake, you are perfect in my mind, and you won't fade away.
Praise to the memory living inside of me, host to entirety, writing my story,
Lusting and gluttony so unbecoming, the stardust is making me blind.
But you won't be left behind, the memory's here to remind.
MOURNING STAR
Sick of myself, my world, my life, get out of my way, this truth can't lie.I stop myself, every second I try, every minute of time is an hour I die.
Every day's another complication, journey through another maze.
I found my way through recapitulation, everything is still a haze, but heaven still holds me.
I live my life inside imagination, keep the secrets I have made.
It's the silence that enslaves me, it's the only thing that saves me.
If you knew what it meant to me to make it through tonight, you would be a mourning star and guide me through this life.
Every day's another conversation, soaking our intent with lies.
The whole thing's open to interpretation, it should come as no surprise, the enemy is everywhere.
Death would be an ample compensation, even if it's my demise, but heaven doesn't want me.
Head to toe in blood and perspiration, I would wipe the tears and lies, but heaven disowned me, now heaven won't know me.
If you knew what it meant to me to make it through tonight, you would be a mourning star and guide me through this life.
Nobody gets out alive and I know there's no way to buy my way in.
I can't say that I didn't try, I guess that I'll just have to try again.
LEFT OF ME
Focus eludes me, what a stupid game to play, the shadows that haunt me hide in just the same way.Mother, can you come and save me, I can't see you but I'm afraid to look away and I'm afraid to say.
Nothing left of who I have been before, broken pieces of me remind of something more.
No one can take away the things that I remember, the fire that used to burn is now a dying ember.
Father, will you try to help me, I wish I could help you see reality.
Nothing left of who I have been before, broken pieces of me remind of something more.
Choking on the stories and lies you tell, something is wrong and now I stand beside myself.
Nothing left of me.
The puzzle's broken, it's scattered over the floor, the puzzle's broken on the floor.
The puzzle's broken, it's missing pieces, and I was hoping that the missing piece was me.
PAY FOR THIS
Everything's a little piece of now, everybody wonders how we designed the whole thing without killing the whole dream.Take a lesson from the stars and never question who you are, these are just the soul screams, these are just the new memes.
Soul dead, my head is bleeding.
One day you're gonna pay for this, but right now you get away.
I'm still the first in line and left behind, it's so benign, one day you're gonna pay for this I know.
Cancer of integrity sucking all my energy, I am not afraid to say, stay the fuck away from me.
Soul dead, your head is bleeding.
One day you're gonna pay for this, but right now you get away.
I'm still the first in line and left behind, it's so benign, one day you're gonna pay for this I know.
I like the pain a little bit, if I was less I would have quit, I'm sick and tired of all of this shit.
I like the pain a little bit, if I was less I would have quit, I'm fucking tired of all of it.
TAKE THIS
A stranger asks me, "Where you coming from?" I say, "I don't know.""Well, where you going?" Surely I'm going home.
Like everything, we rise and fall away, just as the ocean ebbs and flows each day.
I'll take you away from your nightmare, if only you would come with me, I want to show you a better way, take this.
A stranger stops and offers me a gift and says, "Take this please."
I never wanted anything more, the pressure brings me to my knees.
Like everything, we rise and fall away, just as the ocean ebbs and flows each day.
I'll take you away from your nightmare, if only you would come with me, I want to show you a better way,
So you and I will finally be free, won't you please take this?
I never lived a life I wouldn't die for, but I guess it's all the same, the dream is still alive while you're not sleeping.
The dreamers dream.
As flawed as you may think you are, you're perfect to me, crawl inside the hole in my heart and we will never leave.
BABYLON
Everybody turn with a blind eye to a diet of death and cyanide, just pretend that you're okay and it'll all be fine.Welcome to the fall of Babylon and the rapture of the world we built it on.
The scenery is quintessential and our ignorance is fundamental to our pending demise, now I claw out my eyes.
Welcome to the fall of Babylon and the rapture of the world we built it on.
Is there no repentance for me here? Is there any other way for me to try, for death to die?
Kiss your life goodbye and hold the sun, feel the fire in my eyes, it's only just begun.
Welcome to the fall of Babylon and the rapture of the world we built it on.
Welcome to the fall, goodbye Babylon, goodbye.
SYNDROME
I take a deep breath, the smell might get me high, you get fucked up just to get by.I sleep all day cause I can't open my eyes, you pissed it all away and never said goodbye.
The strength I find I find on the inside, and I will not apologise.
We are so scared of what's around the corner, that's why we try to destroy the order.
Chaos won't let us see what's coming around the bend, the journey is more important than the end.
The strength I find I find on the inside, and I will not apologise for my prize.
I guess you didn't know, it's not a weakness, it's just my syndrome.
You will never know the depth of my syndrome.
The pills will make it go away, depression is my only friend, I'm never getting better and I don't want to anyway.
The strength I find I find on the inside, and I will not apologise for my prize.
The angels are calling me home, I guess you didn't know, it's not a weakness, it's just my syndrome.
Why do we try to die all the time, isn't it just enough to be alive?
