Eye to eye I face your fear
You're not as confident as you appear
Toe to toe tooth for a tooth
You can't walk away when we know the truth
For what it's worth I take no pride in this
As I can see through your intimidating stare
Right to your insecurities
Sting of your pride built of your lies
The sins of your past are consumed by the flies
We are your anchor we are your chains
Wrapped up around you as you sink to your grave
Wasted time not on your side
You played the victim as we sympathized
Sincerity as your disguised
Masked the intensions innocence could not hide
The fear inside only multiplies
Every vice you hide has a pair of eyes
Distorting your reality
The ghosts beneath claw at your feet
Drag you down down underneath

Let it Burn
04:10
|

We reach out to devour our own
Laughing while choking on bones of what use to be
Romanticized memories
Passed down inherited old wives tales and ghost stories
And then so you start to believe
Anything they help you conceive fits so perfectly
It's all so damn clear to see
It comforts the questions when everything's predestined
Oh my god how can you drag this on
Just how long do we play along
All of life's questions and answers within our grasp
Humanity's triumphs just let it burn let it burn
Regurgitated misquotes in the context of insults
Sitting high on our thrones as we let it burn let it burn
Pursuit of our happiness sacrificed for the bragging rights
Follow the leader and let it burn let it burn
Were we emboldened to take a stand they forced our hand
Or was it by choice that we let it burn let it burn
A message of unconditional love
Spelled out and written in blood shed in sacrifice
An oath to devote your life
Devoid of all meaning beyond those who are leading
Drinking the blood of the dead
Consuming beliefs and the flesh of the covenant
Of a brand new old testament
That guides and divides while controlling the weakest minds

Bones of Ghosts
05:32
|

Trust betrayed scattering remains
Of sanity and my true enemies
This will never end well for you and me
Tomorrow comes with slow cold death it brings
Following the footsteps that have led us
Down the path of damnation
Standing over the graves of our past
Excavation of the dead
Until the bones of our ghosts are laid to rest
Time erodes painful years hollow
The unknown unforgiven road
The memories of what we use to be
Left behind in scars and haunted dreams
It comes tonight
The grave opens wide
Cold earth invites the sacrifice
As your breathing slowly dies
I am revived
My demons excised
As dirt rains down over my eyes
I am smiling satisfied
We die
As our breathing slowly dies

Monument to Nothing
03:25
|
|||
We are shadows crawling from a dying sun
Vacant reflections of what's to come
We were never meant to reach the stars in our own sky
We were created just to die
Heartbeats echoing resentments of another time
When the lines turn gray
And your cup runs red with blood cut from idle hands
We are purged by the flames that have burned silent beneath
In the distance between here and our fabled past
Lie the remains of what could not last
Faithless eyes curse the god falling down from the sky
And praise the devils we let rise
We breath the air into the flames of our own demise

The Graveyard
03:13
|
|||
Burn through the endless days until the morning light
Break the body and the mind the spirit will not die
With no future and no past we don't believe in fate
Monotonous routine designed to weed the weak
And though you may look down
I'll never be too proud
I give and I take
Every day I give my life to the grave
With my blood and my sweat
The exchange I pay with each breath
Not for the thankless days bleeding the years dry
These bones ache of old age and won't outlast this place
Not for some sense of worth there is more to this life
I own this sense of pride and what I own is mine

Wishing Well
04:24
|
|||
It's like fading away
Slipping into a dream but wide awake
Falling down into the wishing well
Holding on to each breath before I drown
The dream it never comes so I sleep until it does
Closed eyes won't stop the morning
The light intrudes and without warning
Reveals the signs that I tried to hide
Always hoping would just go away
The light's fading away
In it's absence brings the sound of rain
Falling down it echoes endlessly
Circling washing all my dreams away
I'm waiting for the sun of a day that never comes

Sentiment

I don't owe you, not a god damn thing
I will never breath an apology
There is nothing worth salvaging
There is nothing left but a memory
You don't owe me, not one god damn thing
Not a gesture of faith or a means to an end
Because there is nothing left of what there use to be
There is nothing left of this memory
