Keeping
Out Of Direct Sunlight (An Introduction)
We are the ones with the radiating eyes. We are the ones who have a fire inside.
We are the ones only we can recognize. We've been rejected - suffered the
ignorance, suffered the selfishness, been pushed so far down now comes Our time
to surface. Turn from the light, that made them all go blind. We've been
protected. ALL ARISE TO WHAT WE BRING, OUTSTRETCHED HANDS, UNFOLDED WINGS. We've
hurt ourselves, and I feel the sting of broken hearts and burning wings...
Three Reasons
Where were you? Say you were gone? Well, ask me and I'll swear you were there
all along. Another place? Another state? At any rate, I can't relate. There's no
two ways, you're a disgrace. Drown down your fear, suffocate every spark of
clarity. Your weakness: sickens me, saddens me, strengthens me. There's no way
to free responsibility. Who's to blame? Who's in the wrong? The truth from
which you hide - it was you all along. You were there, you didn't care, and your
heart and mind were self impaired. Now, all that's left is our despair.
A Single Second
Oh my God! My God this can't be happening! God tell me, tell me this isn't real!
i can't believe all that i have foreseen is finally happening. i cannot for a
single second stand the way i feel. i always knew. i always saw it coming.
Enveloped now, encased by my worst fear. i've never felt the nausea of longing
to feel nothing, i never wanted to cease to exist, just disappear. Fear
memories are all that lie ahead. Never have I felt so lost. Memories dull my
senses. Fear tragedy is all that lies ahead. Never have I felt so dead. Once
felt so warm, no i'm fucking freezing. i am the once embraced abandoned one. i
raised my eyes up to the light in hopes of finding healing; no relief was mine,
i was burnt, by the sun.
pH Low
So quickly draining away. If you could only hear all the things you used to say.
Consumed now by what you knew was poisonous, quenching your thirst for life.
Will you die for me? Will you live for me? Kill aspirations away. Embrace a
dream that was a nightmare only yesterday. True friends forgotten and all hopes
been traded in, exchanged for what. For what? All at once, all is lost. All is
lost.
Let It Be Broke
I live in truth, complacently. Where's the threat you see in me? Am I the cause
of your Self consciousness? You scream at me 'cause I can't ignore the
destructiveness that you support, 'cause my life's contrary to yours. No soft
words from my mouth. A glazed look in your eyes. I live in the world of reality,
you comfort yourself with lies. I will release myself, I will detach myself from
you. I will detach myself from you kind. I've seen your life but I can't see how
it is that you can be so content in your own ignorance. Its been so dark for so
long now a new light has come along, illuminating all, so shut your eyes. I
won't tell you what you want to hear, I will show you what's real. I will, will
defy.
Third Season
Can you feel the pulse? Can you feel the heat rising from below? Can you feel
the energy gaining strength, oh so slowly? But I'll wait...I'll wait...till the
seasons change. I'll wait...I'll wait... till the fall comes. And I'll give you
a mirthless laugh. Can you see the signs? Can you see the changing of the winds?
Can you see the stillness in the air? Calm will remain...oh so shortly. But I'll
wait...till the seasons change. I'll wait...till the fall comes.
Lower Your Head and Take It in The Body
Drowned in flames is where I can be found, my nose broke from being smashed into
the ground. What a waste, this place I call my home. Escape this place and break
out on my own! I'm still reaching. Try to slap me down, but I'll still hold. In
the fray is where I can be found. My head is bruised from always being knocked
around. What a fight, this life I call my own! Escape this life, and break out
on my own! I'm still reaching! Try to slap me down, but I'll still hold. I'll
hold my own.
Coin Return
I have slipped and I have fallen so far down I can't get out. Overwhelmed by my
doubt. Things I said I'd never do I've done. Those I said I'd never be I've
become. I have broken - I'm still breaking - cracked and wrecked, beyond repair.
Smacks me in the face every time I fall. I cannot disregard, with each new fall
I hit twice as hard. Would you be there for me? I would. Would you look up to
see? I would. falling forward and looking up.
The New Patrons Saints and Angels
I've seen the light that emanates from you, and it makes me feel proud, a voice
of reason above the muffling crowds. Such will to live and you've got so much to
give, long lost sincerity. Lost in a world that's been scorched to black. Lost
in myself until I finally find. A guide in you, and gratitude is mine, I admire
the way you shine. Stare down the day from which others shield their eyes, with
complete clarity, and no trace of apathy. So positive, and your heart you freely
give, long lost vivacity. Lost in a world that's been scorched to black. Lost in
myself until I finally find. A guide in you, and gratitude is mine, I admire the
way you shine.
Three Seconds Notice
Submission- My back hurts from bowing down. Attraction - Was once so strong now
can't be found. Affection - One gift I wish you would return. Frustration - as I
accede. I do not deserve your frigidness, such callousness, yet I persist.
What's wrong with me? I told you "you can't be replaced", you showed
me I'm disposable. Spit in my face, as I submit, so I quit!
Salt For Your Wounds
There's a tear in my heart where the blood ran out. There's a tear in my heart
where the love ran out. I thought we worked, pushed toward the same ends, I'll
never be so quick to trust again. Disenchanted, disgusted, I regret that I
trusted. I put my faith. My faith in you, you poisoned me through and through. I
though we both shared the same injuries. Now I've found it's you who injures me.
My heart is cracked from being left out in the cold. I know you'll pay for what
you've taken - tenfold. Disenchanted, disgusted, I regret that I trusted. I put
my faith. My faith in them, they twisted the knife further in.
Today's Lesson
Here is your lesson for today, ya better listen up real fucking good! My cloud
always has a silver lining, and I love everything that I see. My world is
wonderful and no one could ever hurt me. You hate yourself, yes you do, and
that's why right now I hate you. You hate yourself, yes you do, and that's why
right now I can't stand you. Have you learned your lifes lesson yet? No? Well
let me tell you something. I am your teacher you have a lot to learn from me you
must love yourself. You are my teacher you teach me about my life. Theres a lot
I can learn from you. And that's why right now I love you... So fuck you!
The Devil Loves You
Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Have you ever felt? Have you ever felt
this way? Tainted with rage you can't drain away or it will cost you your life.
I couldn't care more. Do you ever absorb what shouldn't be touched? Have you
ever cared? Ever cared this much? Do you think it is I who is out of touch, or
are you too scared to think at all? I couldn't€ care more. As your friends
fall does it tear your heart? Do tears fill your eyes as your world falls apart?
Do you notice at all, or are you sailing sublime? Am I completely alone?
Triple Zero
It burns! It burns! It burns my eyes and throat, but I need no antidote. Gnawing
and tearing at my insides - seething, keeping me alive - hatred poisons me
through and through - a sustenance - keeping me true. It's not too late. It's
never gonna be too late. Embrace your hate. The pain! The pain it crushes me. I
gain animosity. Acid sweat and bloody tears, through it all I preserve. Some
sedate through indifference but I withheld zero tolerance.

Last Caress
I've got something to say, I killed your baby today and it doesn't matter much
to me as long as its dead. I've got something to say, I raped your mother today
and it doesn't matter much to me as long as she's spread. Sweet lovely death,
I've been waiting for your breath. Let me take one last caress. I've got
something to say, I killed your baby today and it doesn't matter much to me as
long as it's dead. Sweet lovely death, I've been waiting for your breath. Let me
take one last caress.
