Ghost Ship 04:30
Such bittersweet memories of the ghostly song you'd sing I'd rather die in the winter than live for the spring Just to watch it melt our love away Such a beautifully reluctant oceanic migraine Moving under my skin But as a glacier upon a sea, so much goes unseen in the waves, beneath the pain and the hate I'm a man of depth, and death himself is hesitant to speak my name All shall know my rage. Such bittersweet memories, oh that song you sing, you sing it only for me Between the autumn and spring And you glide on that ghastly ship coming out of the fog, still singing that goddamn song I know I'd forsake it all Just for a moment to no longer carry your sorrow like a world upon my back

Omega 03:48
I have only begun I am Omega The nightmare is set in stone and it's getting closer to reality every day These shadows calling your name in your mind begin to take shape The nightmare Is set in stone and it's getting closer to reality shaping in your mind And I can't remember The way it felt To breathe in without ashes filling my lungs forever stranded here alone Forever stranded the rest reduced to bones who could have known or expected of our mother star as love evolved into rage and rage into hate I watched the ocean dissolve into the sky before my eyes every grain of sand turned to glass This is the end Even day is as black as night and I watch as the last light dies our planet, humanity no more we knew it was inevitable take a step back, see the truth for what it is the universe doesn't even notice, it's much to big to care This is the end, but there's no one left to give a shit

Leviathan 04:23
The weight of a broken heart stretched too thin, pulled too far When the distance between your words and my arms, has never been further apart oh, the images that time has burnt into my mind line after line of the lies you trusted me not to tell, that I buried inside oh, the promises you burnt to the ground the moment he came around Finally the truth comes out, you only think of yourself The weight of a broken heart stretched too thin, pulled too far When the distance between your words and my arms, has never been further apart I swore I'd bury you, I drowned the mirror you whispered sweet nothings through but nothing's through, turns out I'm not quite over you year after year, you bled through the cracks in the prison walls I call my mind I thought I buried you some five years back but you came back by a flickering light The weight of a broken heart stretched too thin, pulled too far When the distance between your words and my arms, has never been further apart Remember the quiet place I took you? our little slice of paradise. I meant every word that I said back then, but goddamn if I'm forgiving this The weight of a broken heart stretched too thin, pulled too far When the distance between your words and my arms, has never been further apart oh, the images that time has burnt into my mind line after line of the lies you trusted me not to tell, that I buried inside but I've changed with time.

Twisting aimlessly, without direction. From faltered limbs, at a slow but painful rush. A lovely porcelain perfection. What a shame such a velvet must be crushed. Tonight, I'll drown in your deep blue eyes. Tonight, I'll drown in y our sea of lies. Tomorrow, I'll hate you for contorting my heart. But tonight, my surmise is the only thing that keeps me afloat. She twists her words, like unprogressing poetry. Her lips and sounds she makes, don't seem to agree. All I hear is lies, such a delicate banshee. But, I can't give up on her, for the life of me. Freshly cleaned curtains drawn to pour light onto dirty walls. She sings in her sleep, but the tune she carries is of awful things. And suicide is no longer an option, Only because we always kill ourselves too late. She twists her words, like unprogressing poetry. Her lips and sounds she makes, don't seem to agree. All I hear is lies, such a delicate banshee. But I can't give up on her for the life of me. You're the kind of beautiful that ends badly. But if you strangle a flower, it just spreads its seeds. She twists her words, unprogressing poetry. But I can't give up on her for the life of me. Oh, contortionist. Twisting my heart will suffice, As she bends over backwards to tell me, "I was the queen of paradise."

If you blink you'll miss the best part, With the cumbersome weight of his broken heart. So says the caesura, she might be right. He just might lose it all tonight. I'm sorry I'm such an ongoing case of imperfection, A gallery of mistakes. But the way she shakes, those inhuman quakes, As the wind chill begins to drop. The irony is not lost on me, That her time spent is measured in soliloquy. Fallacies that words present. The ones that I resent. If they're truly heaven sent, then I forgot what those words meant. Leaning over the waterfall, To watch the jealousy she creates cascade and erode the sharp rocks below. The temperature drops and soon so will she. But if you blink you'll miss the show. The wind chill hurts her face on the way down. She shakes those inhuman quakes. But the irony is not lost on me. She's sorry. She'll never darken anyone's doorstep again, And she's imperfect at terminal velocity.

E.V.I.L. 03:59
You are quickly becoming the very vision of that fucking ghost Dive right in, the story begins again: Oh, Hamartia, I always knew the end, but your tears are such sweet sorrowful wine I'll toast to our demise. Oh, the serenity implicitly promised me. Briefly I'll bury my instincts for sanity's sake. Do you know the feel of a glacier break? My frostbitten heart is aching, and your lifeless lips don't have the answer I seek. Oh, Hamartia, how could I be so weak? While I was drowning in my sea of rage, you parted the water and stood between the waves. I am an avatar of obsession, and tonight you are pale in my eyes. If you could see my trembling knees. Oh, the serenity implicitly promised me. You're my sleeping beauty, and this is our last kiss goodbye. Don't wake up, you might miss the ending. Don't wake up, you might miss the ending. Briefly I'll bury my instincts for sanity's sake. Do you know the sound of a glacier break? Do you feel these last breaths I take? I'd whisper your name, if my lungs would permit it. I was drowning in a sea of rage. You found me that way. I should have died that day. Instead, you parted the waves. You eased the ache, and then you ran away. I should have died that day. You eased the ache, and then you ran away. You held my frostbitten heart in your hand and watched the glacier break.

Entry dramatic, but the exit wound was more traumatic I'm enigmatic, the voice screaming at you through the static All your followers are worth a mention, no dimension's pretension rivals ascension, my intention's envisioning sentience on a level that will never let a rebel ever sever the cleverness of an antithiest cause you run this shitty city slowly sinking, and I think it's fitting watching it burning, and turning with yearning, I'm learning there are no godly men here, death is the only thing to fear, and I have arrived It's like I'm satanic, and I'm an addict erratic so panic in every direction your god will give no protection corner you off in sections, elect to vivisect your holy elect until there's no one left I have arrived. Are you prepared to die? (Such perfect beauty/ in catastrophe, Such perfect moments/are what make history) The softest snow touches down, mixed in with the ash, her city drowns across the sea of glass, her blazing mass is seen one last time reflected in the water, in the night, in my eyes the city sinks into the sea, remember me, she sings, while angels weep, the wicked flee, her children scream and plea, but there is no escape

I refuse to ever make you unhappy again. Drowning myself in the bottom of this well, until you forget what it meant to stand for something. times weren't perfect, but neither am I My knees tremble, remembering every night I spent, listening to every thing you had to say every time I enter that sad empty room I catch myself expecting to see you you look up at me, eyes as cryptic as catacombs A mystery poor little me never found the answer to rolling over scroll after scroll of all the words I never said, my thoughts of dread, my book of the dead a tasteless sentence uttered once or twice, a thousand times replace her, erasure, I'm out of my mind rolling over scroll after scroll of all the words I never said, my thoughts of dread, my book of the dead a tasteless sentence uttered once or twice, a thousand times replace her, erasure, I'm out of my mind I've been every place but home this past fortnight or so hiding in basements and attics, waiting for the end to come Someday I swear I'll fly to those havens we called our own I'll sing out of key, "she'll always love me" while burning down our home Letter by letter; page by page you tore out my chapter and blacked out my name some things never change. you never fail to bring me to rage. every time I enter that sad empty room I catch myself expecting to see you you look up at me, eyes as cryptic as catacombs oh, the depth of those frozen lakes all men succumb to. I'm not a victim, just a martyr of circumstance writing from attics and basements, wringing my hands. Someday I swear I'll find you and bury the hatchet in the back of your neck, you bitch. I refuse to ever make you unhappy again. Again implies this time has to end.

If misery truly loves it's company why would I leave? do you blame me? This irony the copper taste still fills my lungs You are no longer gone I proselytized, caricaturized a symbol in your name put you on a pedestal, you stood for my pain but now you're real again now you're here again There are no easy answers I'm clearly not the only one suffering from the nightmares why do you think we can't move on? There are no easy answers I'm clearly not the only one suffering from the nightmares why do you think we can't move on? Some kind of fucked affection permanent viral infection Stay away for our protection yet here you are. There are no easy answers I don't expect any I'm not compromising You could never lie to me I've lived this life a thousand fucking times I still do everything for you Sometimes I forget why I've lived this life a thousand fucking times I still do everything for you Sometimes I forget why But then I see you again I need an answer to this You are my darkness, closing in I feel the panic, my lungs caving I can't handle these failings so come and watch me burn come and watch me burn burn with me

Emperor Zurg 03:37
hold me under push me further your fear of me has sealed your defeat conqueror of worlds, your words mean nothing here on this planet you laid bare, like so many before this you wouldn't raise a finger to save a life you've gone unchallenged for far too long, to believe yourself a god you wouldn't raise a finger to save a life you've gone unchallenged for far too long, to believe yourself a god hold me under push me further

Divinity, The sort I can never keep within my reach I'd drop everything Just to make you see Just to have you dream of me. Faces like yours move in and out of the walls and the pressure in my head just keeps on growing into noise until all that I hear are the words that you're screaming at me Such a beautiful ocean Moving under my skin And between the rain and the waves I see the ship on which we sank Nothing can change my mistake, but love doesn't have to evolve into rage nor tragedy into hate. Such a beautiful ocean Moving under my skin And between the pain and the hate I see the ship on which we sank Such irreverent notions, that this would become my end and between the blood in my veins and the ink on the page your hands are forever stained Your ghost is silently screaming, your lips form the words that haunt me to this day Your echoes beyond the grave, always repeating my name Such a beautiful ocean Moving under my skin And between the rain and the waves I see the ship on which we sank Such a beautiful ocean Moving under my skin And between the rain and the waves I see the ship on which we sank This migraine never seems to cease, you're moving within me, You finally stepped out of my dreams, and back into reality. but it's so much colder than it was before... I've grown from a boy into a man in the time you've been gone I wish I could say sorry and have it mean enough to me to move on Seeing the you that you became in the years I used to escape I'm finally, truly letting you go
