Bite The Hook

Taken, taken, taken away
Every plan I put in motion, every sacrifice I made
It stays, it stays the same
Now the sun is shining but i’m soaked in rain
Creeping up and filling in
Rot the gut, it never ends
Talk about commitment
Fail to make amends
It never stops, or goes away
I rip the weeds from my garden every day
Infected roots bare poison fruit
It never stops, or goes away
I rip the weeds from my garden every day
Promise me there’s a plan for my escape
Promise me there’s a single shred of faith
Can’t rely on change for changes sake
Can’t rely on a spirit meant to break
It never stops or goes away
I rip the weeds from my garden every day
Infected roots bare poisoned fruit
It never stops or goes away
I rip the weeds from my garden every day
Manic thoughts
Panic states
Reflection showing me everything’s the same
Look into the mirror
Meet the one you blame
Look into the mirror
Meet the one you blame

Jesus Bones

Foundation starts to shake
From the pounding full of angst
And this door isn’t holding back
What’s in destruction’s wake
I want to know how every bone will break
How many breaths are left for me to take
I try to hold the light but the darkness lies in wait
How do I own it?
How do I control it?
Suffocate the breathing
Cut the air flowing
Grinding broken glass in between my teeth
Sharpened words dig the shrapnel deep
Drive the nail in place
It’s the square route in a circle race
Stubborn as I stand
I am wound tightly, it’s a classic case
I want to know how every promise breaks
Who’s going to bet against the chips I’ve placed?
Fix my focus with these notes on the page
I try to hold the light but the darkness lies in wait
Grinding broken glass in between my teeth
Sharpened words dig the shrapnel deep
How do I own it?
How do I control it?
Suffocate the breathing
Cut the air flowing
Wounds won’t heal
Until the dirt’s cleaned out

Echo of Nothing

It’s their desperation, the risk they take
To flee the terror of a failing state
Endanger life for just a little taste
Of freedom, relief, and a sense of place
Militias stalking the coasts for blood
Indenturing captives in the desert sun
Traversing the open sea
To feel the sand’s opportunity
All quiet on the western front
While they cry for help in the eastern mud
Refusing the calls to deliver aid
Because the waiving flag is a different shade
Suffering in silence
Suffering within
They break their spirit
Break their fucking will
Held between no man's land
Prisoners divide kin from kin
All quiet on the western front
While they cry for help in the eastern mud
Refusing the calls to deliver aid
Because the waiving flag is a different shade
When the well dries up
The bread has turned to crumbs
They’ll look down at the street
And use the stones to speak
Every window deserves a brick

Mass displacement
From a homeland tainted
Scars are burned into
This rotting landscape
Desert, desert
Desert maker
Traitor, traitor
Broke the vows made sacred
Barren lands where the life’s been drained
The earth’s been cracked and the fields are stained
There’s a poisoned thirst from the scorching rays
Soaked with acid rain
Desert maker
Mass displacement
From a homeland tainted
Scars are burned into
This rotting landscape
Desert, desert
Desert maker
Traitor, traitor
Broke the vows made sacred
Killing what sustains us
Defying what will save us
It’s all too late
We will steal
We will ache
We will starve
We will break
The last sun has set

Lie of Liberty
02:48

Atlas shrugging at the mouths we need to feed
Your blood’s a color different than what we bleed
You’ve been trying to prevent it
Still living with your hate and resentment
They’re selling you’re buying in
Fraudulent patriot
Blue line penitent
Cosplay soldier
False American
Do you see what I see?
Or did they make you believe
This lie
This lie of liberty
Do you see what I see?
Or did they make you believe
This lie
This lie of liberty
See the cracks in a fractured State
Kneel before your coiled snake
Fraudulent Patriot
Blue Line penitent
Cosplay Soldier
False American
Do you see what I see?
Or did they make you believe
This lie
This lie of liberty
See the cracks in a fractured State
Kneel before your coiled snake

Mind is melting
Drip by drip
Footsteps approaching
Sitting home alone
Feel the vibrations
Don’t pick up the phone
Eyes are twitching
Hands are shaking
Know they’re watching
Every move I’m making
Ringing in the ears, it’s too much to take
You’ve had a grudge with me, what the fuck did you just say?
They’re coming for me
Locusts swarm
Mind melting
Drip by drip
Who knows what day it is?
Don’t recognize their face
The lighting starts to dim
The battery starts to drain
Turn the volume down
Just got to stay in bed
The candle’s melted wax
You broke your fucking head
Mind melting
Drip by drip

Collision
02:40
|
|||
Ties have been severed
Sovereign is crumbling
Institutions ending
We’re searching for something
Green turning red
Driving straight ahead
Steel against steel
From the abstract to real
Existing on separate planes and never shall they meet
With the worst still yet to come we are skidding towards defeat
Glass breaking on the blacktop
Better steer clear, take the hint
This side would rather die then give a fucking inch
Red syndicate’s agenda
Co-opt the minds of our own
You think you can trust them?
They uphold the status quo
Can’t look away
Away from the crash
Can’t look away
Away from the crash
Collision
Back up your words
Make a claim to the throne
Wear the crown of thorns
Bastard king
Existing on separate planes and never shall they meet
With the worst still yet to come we are skidding towards defeat
Ties have been severed
Sovereign is crumbling
Institutions ending
We’re searching for something
This side would rather die
Than give a fucking inch

Twilight hangs over the town
Eyes dropping to face the ground
There’s a feeling in the air
That something’s growing
Something’s fuming
Something’s moving
Something’s brewing
Signs glued to the walls
The paint sprayed along the halls
Read the tags across the doors
Soak it in and heed their call
Pouring gas upon the fire
Smashing statues of the martyrs
Are you still one of the living?
With your fist up in the street
Are you still one of the living?
Standing out amongst the sheep
Tensions rise with the hatred of speech
Crowds assemble, mass panic in the heat
The words of one incite the violence of a nation
Sliding into chaos, death of liberation
Are you still one of the living?
With your fist up in the street
Are you still one of the living?
Standing out amongst the sheep
Pouring gas upon the fire
Smashing statues of the martyrs
The beast is fed
Now watch as it grows
Power corrupts
And we lose control

The only truth is presence
It melts away the sin
I want the hammer smashing
Cerebral hell we’re in
Killing the future self
With the burdens of our history
Killing the future self
Not a single moment meant to be
Transcend the lies we’re telling
Friction internally
Detachment from our hemorrhage
Set drifting out to sea
Killing the future self
With the burdens of our history
Killing the future self
Not a single moment meant to be
Hammer Smashing
Now the train’s come off the tracks
And the knuckles are turning white
I’m clawing up the mountain
Still the summit’s not in sight
Yes I feel the pressure
Yes I feel the strain
No I can’t escape it
It always ends the same
It always ends
It always ends the same

Are you going to save yourself?
A burning sun won’t pierce your shadows cloak
Choking out the light you need to grow
But I know there’s still some water left to flow
Endless routes from endless springs
Infinite paths to better things
But you gotta be willing to float
Open up your arms, embrace the hope
But you build the dam, you plug the hole
Killing yourself with every day that goes
On and on
Repeat the lies that you’re telling yourself to live
Yea I’m wise to the game
The books say it’s a mindset
But your mind’s still set the same
Walk together with the godhead
Still reaching for a hand
Always getting in your own way
Can’t accept what it demands
You can fill the days
With the storm and the rain
The nights fall silent
And it’s deafening
Soaking in your guilt, sinking in denial
You still can’t hide the termites in your smile
Repeat the lies that you’re telling yourself to live
Yea I’m wise to the game
The books say it’s a mindset
But your mind’s still set the same
Walk together with the godhead
Still reaching for a hand
Always getting in your own way
Can’t accept what it demands
Are you going to save yourself?
Change the way you think about pain
