The Hollowing
Mechanical
Man
...
i need and it's never-ending
who am i?
wasted
who am i
this time?
who am i?
wasted
who am i?
i regret
every moment
and i mourn
every piece
of memory
that i've
lived this way
why should i
try?
otherwise...
who am i this time?
i need and i
can only give myself
the strength
to look the other way
why should i
try?
otherwise..
who am i this time?
Give Me
Electricity..
given my
life to sacrifice
nothing left
to call myself
caught up in
my purpose
can't seem
to get
what i want
what i want
can't seem
to get
what it is
that i want
i said, he's
on the left,
she's on the
right
that leaves
me no place to go
i'm buried
under layer
after layer
after layer of device
Who Am I?
wasted. who
am i this time?
who am i?
wasted
otherwise,
this time
In
the Shadow of the Sun
the
horizon closed down
what did you
see before the world went dark?
i know i
have no home now
no place
to hide
my home is
in your space
Stranger
no place
to hide
the edge of
the water cracks
and you can
see
they all
have the same face
Brother
is there
room
for a sister
now that
your bed is
gone?
Destroy
Destroy
Destroy..
Brother,
friend is foe
and life is
a struggle to survive
Brother.
Destroy.
Stranger...
like dust
and we fall
and we
fall and we fall...
the
horizon closed down
what did you
see before the world went dark?
i know i
have no home now
give me some
place to hide
no escaping
the Horizon
no escaping
the War
brother, we
are Home
the
horizon closed down
Fires
of Sorrow
...you're
so pale
the lines of
your eyes are weathered
your broken
arms
can hold me
no longer
you're so
pale
now i'm
falling down faster
can't see
the ground yet
but i know
it's cold and wet
i see you
in every
cracked line
you haunt me
while i
chase your ghost
i can't seem
to catch you
i just
can't face your grave
you're lost
in the darkness
you cannot
hear me
i'm lost
against the background
wherever i
look you can't be found
the shadows
fall around me
and i can't
see where i want to go
because
because because
You're So
Pale and Dead
i just
can't face your grave
???
release me
let me go..
Vision
and the Verity
met
up with my soul again on a cold dark road
it got tired
of me a long time ago
so i've
been living alone
do you know
what it is to be dead like me?
can you feel
what it is to be dead like me?
can you feel
what it is to be?
i cut out my
heart just the other day
held it in
my hand
said it
doesn't work that well anyway
who needs
blood coarsing through veins..
this is
the stain of my father's shame
this body is
ravaged by disease and despair-
i just
wanted to get away from there
who needs
blood coarsing through veins..
this is
the stain of my father's shame
i'm tired of
feeling so weary and old
so tired so
hopeless so lifeless and cold
i can
almost mark the day
when my
soul began to fade away
no longer
scared of the ghosts i used to see-
i'm one of
them, they're just like me
i can
almost mark the day
when my
hope began to fade away
down on the
road i saw a dead man
said, dead
man, you look a lot like me
who needs
blood. who needs shame
from my
father all this came
so i picked
up the dead man, put him across my back
said, dead
man, we're going to fade away into the day..
departed my
soul again on a cold dark road
Kingdom's
End
i'm
bleeding this time
for no
reason at all
i just miss
the feeling
of losing it
all
So Used to
It
i am the
cave of life and death
and the
blood that makes the clock tick
i didn't
ask for it
felt so
hollow
had to dry
up and out my skin
to hold my
insides in
I'm So
Uncomfortable
but the skin
holds the
decay in
scraping the
pins along the skin
release the
decay within
i am the
cave of life and death
and the
blood that makes the clock tick
i didn't
ask for it
disease.....
your flesh
dancing to
the drum of rot
rhythm of
disintegration...
one battle,
two with death
came and
pulled me out by the breath
doesn't make
the pain of living go away
don't want
to face the world today
disease.....
used to
fight with death
several
times a night
facing that
brick wall
choking for
my life
we got to be
good friends
death and i
i'd never
give in and he'd never lie
scratch till
i pop up a vein
feel the
hollow walls
sucking air
that'll never get anywhere
when this
chemical lung gives out
i'll be
living at my body's mercy.
until
then
i'm
living at someone else's mercy
After the Flood
instrumental
Sleeping
the Wicked
find
a lost man
lost in his
loss of control
find a lost
man
get lost in
his loss of control
become
useful
for the use
of the user
become the
dog bone
then chew
your way out
her way into
the game
is to ride
his wild dick
get close to
me
then maybe
you can be me
FIRE
find a lost man
lost in his
loss of control
forget your
own
forget your
own displacement
her way into
the game
is to ride
his wild dick
get close to
me then
maybe you
can be me
so base in
the basement of your body..you stink
fill her so
she can feel wanted
so she can
fill a purpose
FIRE
make a habit deceive me
tell a
fucked up story be showered with pity
FIRE
i feel nothing for you
i am nothing
like you
bred a
victim born again a warrior
now i just
don't care about the war
FIRE fire
is the colour of my eyes
burns
straight to the inside
Surviving
the Siren
on
beaches of bone
the siren
sings
and you
cover your ears
but it's
the song you used to sing
there's
no escaping
as you
are pulled into the sea...
and he said
i'm gonna
sail my ship
away from
this shore
can't feel
my soul within me anymore
so he
followed a song
he heard
within his heart
it was bound
for disaster
right from
the start
he's
gonna get it
after just
one day into his journey
he was well
off course -
gave in to
the easy way out
then he came
to his senses
towed in a
line of regret
but it was
too late -
he was
caught in her net
he's
gonna get it
woe is me
well, i
asked for it
this is
what i deserve
well, i
asked for it
wait till we
get outta here
he yelled to
the captain
then we'll
get our freedom back
i'm trapped
in the stare
he said
i've gotta
get my soul back
woe is
me.well, i asked for it
this is
what i deserve
i can't take
my eyes off of her
if i can't
have her no one can
because i'm
the man
woe is me
well, i
asked for it
this is
what i deserve
i'm gonna
wring your neck
gonna wring
your neck
i'm gonna
gonna wring
your neck
neck neck
now the
ship's going down
we'll wreck
upon the rocks
and we'll be
fed upon
woe is
me. there's no escaping
i'm scared
and i want outta here
but i can't
turn the ship back
woe is
me. there's no escaping
i take full
responsibility
he begged to
the captain
i couldn't
keep my dick in my pants
there's
no escaping..
on
beaches of bone
the siren
sings
and you
cover your ears
but it's
the song you used to sing
there's
no escaping
as you
are pulled into the sea
Take
the Low Road
...
in all this time i have found
that no one
speaks my language
i learned
long ago
that i walk
alone
i don't
believe in me
what can i
say
2 days dark
and grey
and not much
different from yesterday
i hate what
i am
not much
more pleased
with what
i've become
used to
close the door and sleep away the days
i don't
believe in you
what can i
say, time is the enemy
it makes me
empty
it is the
thief of me
so i went to
the big door
and asked
the old man for a favor
SHOW ME A
BRIGHTER DAY
down here in
this mud where i'm stuck
felt a
ghost of myself running away
SHOW ME A
BETTER WAY
i hate what
i am
not much
more pleased
with what
i've become
used to
close the door and sleep away the days
but i've
come to face the day
when my
childhood was taken away
these
movements of displacement say:
yesterday
will never be back again
build a
wall around inside out
i won't let
you out
i
won't let you in
caught up to
my knees in mistakes
Discipline
of Degradation
seething
in this red world
i am nothing
thrown to
the roadside
i carry the
death
of the
desert on my skin
have you
looked into these eyes
feel the
cracks in my hands
from soul to
skin
i am dry and
i am alone
i eat gravel
shakes in my
stomach
to drown
the voices
in my head
the sun's
too far away
and you
don't notice
crawling, i
am worthless
and i am
alone
...one and
two
and i see 2
faces below me
and i see
yours in both
but one is
open the other is closed...
there is
no dignity
there is
no grace, and i am alone
seething in
this red world
i am nothing
sold to a
false hope
now i just
float along in this dead ocean
there is
no dignity, there is no grace
and i am
alone in this dead ocean
Come to Light
