In a little time so much has changed
Here I am again in that familiar place
Dreams may try to grow in the dark
But no fire can burn without the setting of a spark

I just want to give to you
All that you have given me
My searching heart cries for this
This thing I ca

In the twilight hour clouds obscure the bleeding light
As they bear the body of the sun
To lay at rest in the earth

Lay a shade on my eyes,
On the corners where mysteries are born
Let me search the distant stars for what is left of my ruin
Inhaling the stillness, I make

We willed our hearts and bones to break
Sift us through the ashes

And one day soon our sun will fade
A gift unto the ashes

Enshrined in smoke, our shadows wait
Drifting through the ashes

Then souls set free amidst the grey
Lifted through the ashes

I wasn't prepared to face the final hues
To watch the color fade and let go of my youth
Walls were built to hide it all from view
Still standing now, still as resolute

I could hardly muster a goodbye
Pleading for numbness to arrive
Though it meant I'd never fully heal

Old cruel road, it never ends
Tearing down every defense

It leaves me, worthless
Wandering, I’ve lost my way so many times
From first breath to final rest
I find the path always unwinds

My sunken hopes are buried deep
A revelation just beyond my reach

And th

Uncontested, dripping personification
The putrid liquid washing all away
In the edge of mind lurks bleak sacred monster
Null incarnate, defeater all the way

Locked within a spell
This ritual repeats itself again
The drained one, dancing in madness
Inverse horizon st

The old man approached the river
His gray head hanging low
His frail bones, tired and weakened
Stepped beyond the shore into the cold

And he knew there is no hope for redemption
No mercy would fall upon his wretched head
A wicked soul, who did no long to see the sunrise

I could go out
But what if I'm seen?
The world in here is fine
Drop it all
Distract me
From my distraction
No need to decide
Drop it all

Let my broken thoughts
Do what they always do
For a while there I thought about a change
And stare into yesterday

All along the dark and forbidden way
I can I can feel their eyes and see their arcane thrones
So between my steps I rest to gather up my strength
I must keep pushing onward
Under swirling moons and galaxies

In the presence of ancients, beckoning to me
And I fear to be t

Dark clouds move closer
At the edges of my mind
Obscuring
Consuming my perception of time

So strange, the sensation
I’ve come to know it well
It comes with sinister negation
To erase my identity

Is this insanity?
Will they come to take me?
Who can I tr

The sand that hides
The bones of the dead
Whispers in the wind
Rumors of our future

We shall build here
In this cursed place
Cruel structures
The towers of gods
In their shadows
We will ever toil
We will hide there
Waiting for a revelation
Citade

Carry me to my grave
When at long last my journey has ended
On the path that leads from here into oblivion
And no more sorrow can weigh me down

Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest, the shadows
I live with are numberless

Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not when the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you

Angels have no thought
Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
I

Piercing stare... Perceive the heart that I am holding
Metallic trails... Stream down my arms
It loved to swear... Upon the lies that it foretold to me
And I: Its pawn... Guided blindly unto harm

Laid so bare... All that’s visible is crimson
Still feel its primal song... Th

We crawled
From the beginning
Oceans of blood
The price of living
Grasping gold
Always pursuing
Wealth untold
Others abusing

I saw the end
Of all tomorrows
From a place
Where the pigs wallow
Filth that runs
From mouths so overfed
The joys

All our gods have fled
Retreated to the skies
From there
They watch us fall

Beneath unyielding scythe
A cold and callous blade
Indifference, swathed in blood
Ageless, unafraid
As fools, our end has come

Ignoring signs
We believed that we were blameless

In her place one hundred candles burning
As salty sweat drips from her breast
Her hips move and I can feel what they're saying, swaying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get

Black lipstick stains on her glass of red wine
I am your servant, may I light

Sometimes I feel like I'm dying at dawn
And sometimes I'm warm as fire
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain
And it goes over, and over, and over again, yeah

Too many flames, with too much to burn
And life's only made of paper
Oh, how I need to be free of this pain

Feasting eyes on wreckage that surrounds me
Makes me wonder if I ever learned to live

I have such little recognition
Of what I was when I could still see your face
The many flaws, of my own admission
A void supreme, I can’t pull away

This rite of passage
It took a

I wore away, as years washed by
Like a stone in any riverbed to find
But I am flesh and bone, awaiting peace of mind
I've lost myself in thoughts of days behind

Distant memories
Form constellations of despair
Guiding through the state of disrepair
Illuminate
All
