lyrics
Clearly I'm going insane. There's no way you're behind me After all, you're dead! I see your face everywhere, And I'm never prepared to crush you in my hands To be left holding your breath, Recompense for everything I put myself through Talk about going insane! I'm making you pay for my mistakes Some fears are just beyond our conception "Of all horrors in the world" I'll give everything for what I believe Oh God, I think I hear them calling me As I'm staring out in my own time, I find I am not the same My name has been taken from me, my love for you is all I have left Break me, they'll try to break me Some might say that the way I'm acting Makes quite a case for insanity I draw strength from the chains of contradiction I'm disagreeing with my own beliefs oldthink unperson. speedwise rectify. blackwhite goodthink. antefullwise goodsex. I'll be the one blood on my hands I would never kill a man You left yourself fully exposed You deserve to be left alone Nature should have its way with you Don't mind if I do! I push buttons and I get my way I'm above playing the game Some fears are just beyond our conception "Of all horrors in the world" I'll give everything for what I believe Except this blanket of security To be left holding your breath, Recompense for everything I put myself through Talk about going insane! I'm making you pay for my mistakes I really misplaced the blame

Bereaver 03:13
lyrics
The blood in my eyes runs cold Sent passed the bridge, I stand the hairs of my neck I'm reveling 'cause I can get away with it, yeah There's no keeping this wind in check Check yourself, the wind is at your back It's been known I'm a danger When I can't get what I want It's best to walk away from dancing flames, 'Cause I always get what I want I cast another look to the right The reflection of ever-so-sure eyes Has been sent back a million times Reinforcing my sureness in fight New lusts arising, swelling at every turn Paying the highest price, given the great demand for the burn The odds are stacked, and the risks are becoming great How great are the things we want, but never attain Am I a villain? Am I a traitor? Am I the apex predator? Does the blood in my eyes run cold?

Nowhere 03:19
lyrics
This is not what I usually mean when I say I watched you fall asleep Shut down your eyes, leave the monitors blank After all you're just static in the wind You should hurt, cause the hurt makes you real My pain was mine, it was mine all along To think anything else would be insane There's no fucking way this is happening now Let the floor break You can fall into the earth A fate befitting of a snake Release me from my duties I regret ever commiting the charge This is the only thing that was ever worth it Those who forsake this are deserters of the worst kind You cried out, screaming "Death to the world" It yelled back "Keep your death for yourself" Hold them in contempt and spit in their faces We need our numbers now and forever On a mission that never dies Bring us back to life Just so we can die And I have watched you struggle And taken no pleasure in it ...And Life Is Very Long Though we're not long for this world Ciao, erreur

Polarity 05:09
lyrics
I remember the last time, like it was the first time, and the first like it's the last I remember the one time, I wish had been all time. It doesn't get better than this I broke the hourglass. It shattered in my fists You're locked in the heat of a battle. You say "Can this get much worse?" It's only just begun When the time comes you'll see All the reasons you entered this war were wrong How very fitting our adversity would end right here! You are death, or else next on the list, Cause when I think of you I wish you'd just disexist Kill it I try, I try, it never seems to work Bloodlet, bloodshed, cavernous wounds I am starting to grow concerned The more I find myself thinking of mortality, The harder it is for my wrist to draw lemniscate Physical thresholds from which you can always return But there are emotional boundaries from which you don't come back It does make you sick about it We should have a change of heart Or maybe from the start, you're hiding the truth The fangs are always there. You should speak Speak your piece or forever be damned You're locked in the heat "Will it ever end?" When the time comes You'll see your reasons (were wrong) How very fitting We end here You are death Disexist I wish you wanted something from me I wish you needed something from me There's no use anymore. You've caught me at my worst Carving, starving, gaping flesh wounds This has become a problem

Out of Reach 04:00
lyrics
A familiar mellow light shines through the broken door I put you where you left your dreams: At the morgue This is what Brothers is all about Who has your back, and why you'd even need that You're alone because you hurt the ones around you Ask her how she's doing without you, and feel the shame Do me a favor, and throw your life away You let emotions control, You attack when you feel insecure, Your arrogance is a disease for which there is no cure Oh, it's a late-night bash Because a time and a place doesn't mean anything Oh, it's a late-night bash You're as forgettable as your name The Toys discarded, for the boy was now a man Lights out, Beast now out of your command You've got my relics, and my cheap imitations Make no mistake, this time I'm not holding back Your vanity is matched only by your selfishness And inability to understand, so you project Your uncompromising, overbearing, overreacting ways And turn friends into enemies I won't go into the low It's bad enough that he knows it, right? Just remember You're screaming my words You've got no heat, and this is trial by fire You're so green, you'll never burn You couldn't handle me pushing you to the edge, only accepting your best, Now you want to say you're raising the bar? Still you want to know just what I meant Instead I think it's time you knew the roots of your contempt That secret dies with me The secret dies with me ???
