Every night, it’s the same
Can’t understand what she’s muttering
Her voice just keeps breaking away in desperate cries
I can feel her pain, hiding buried secrets
Tryin’ to find out what happened, she’s half forgotten
No more denial
So involuntary
Truth finds its way ‘round the blind spots of your mind,
Nightmares and endless screams
Confessions of broken dreams
Think she has taken a life
Confront her but she keeps denying
Sanity’s slipping away in desperate cries
She will take me too. Got to be one step ahead of you
Can’t risk her tryin’ to kill me, I’ll take hers instead
No more denial
So involuntary
Truth finds its way ‘round the blind spots of your mind,
Nightmares and endless screams
Confessions of broken dreams
Your lies and your conscience fight
I tried suppressing what has happened on the night I rid her mind
I still wake up crying in the middle of the night
No more denial
So involuntary
Truth finds its way ‘round the blind spots of your mind,
Nightmares and endless screams
Confessions in broken dreams
Your lies and your conscience fight

Opus Of My Own Design
02:42

You’re out there, so am I
I don’t believe, I can’t perceive the things you call decline
I live in this space and time, an opus of my own design
How is this grand?
Come inside and hear the tales the paintings softly coo
The rugs are lying perfect, yet they’re awkwardly askew
No painter could define my shade of blue
Now I’m just a man,
Nebulous
To you I’ll sing my malady, please follow, never slew
Just come with me. Am I the only one who goes out there?
Who’s off beat, when I stand tall, while I read all my pain to you
Look through my glare
Come inside and hear the tales the paintings softly coo
The rugs are lying perfect, yet they’re awkwardly askew
No painter could define my shade of blue
Now I’m just a man,
Nebulous to you
No painter
Define my shade of blue
Now I’m just a man
Nebulous

Gone Rogue

You’re not getting away with this
Depriving other people’s joy
The backdoors to a new slate are rapidly growing skew
Because your smoldering path of carnage is catching up with you
When the edges of your paper world will fester by affliction
You’ve used to feed your own addiction
I’d hoped for your sake, that before that day would come you’d learn
But now you’re floating on the river of no return
When the edges of your paper world will fester by affliction
You’ve used to feed your own addiction
Just one moment of what you had
Wished you could drain your wealth
Now the array is growing strong
- Pull the string and tell me what you see -
You’ll crash down where you belong
- Would you’ve opened it for me? -
Climbing bodies, you were reaching for the sun
But now you’re reigning in your country of no return
When the edges of your paper world will fester by affliction
You’ve used to feed your own addiction
I met you at a time in which your legend was two steps behind
The whispers hissed an entity that made a grown man blind
When the edges of your paper world will fester by affliction
You’ve used to feed your own addiction

Trinity In Me
06:26

Used to be a bird of light
And all your flaws I would rewrite
Wish to be where you’re abiding
In the shadows of your pride
Lose your fear, your rage and woe
They can’t help you where you go
You must not doubt, I will return
No longer be eclipsed and burned
The morning star I used to be
Defined the end’s infinity
My wings are growing strong again
Before you break, you will repent
Your desperate cries won’t help you then
The trinity in me, amen
You’ll rescind the hierarchy
I won’t concede this blasphemy
They’re not worthy, your mankind
Omnipotent, but you’re so blind
Lose your fear, your rage and woe
They can’t help you where you go
You must not doubt, I will return
No longer be eclipsed and burned
The morning star I used to be
Defined the end’s infinity
My wings are growing strong again
Before you break, you will repent
Your desperate cries won’t help you then
The trinity in me, amen
Your precious Michael came to me, exhorting to abate
If I were to ignore your bidding, I’d be sure to seal my fate
“Divinity will genuflect, so say a little prayer
I’ll place my throne above the stars, not even He can touch me there”
“You’re my brother, but this can’t pass uncorrected”
As he kissed me, he assured me: “You just need to be subjected”
Within seconds I was surrounded by the brightest feathered throng
Archangel Michael’s array of a billion Seraphs strong
I hit, I kicked, I bit, I fought while angels kept on coming
You’d think that all this killing would eventually be numbing
But I felt the pain as I was forced to cleave my brethren to the ground
“We should not have this war, this isn’t glorious nor profound”
“It felt like days but here I am, now let’s see eye to eye
You cannot end a fight, with a knight that cannot die”
“Know your place, dear Lucifer, I’ll send you there outright”
He raised His hands from which came forth a blinding cloud of light

I’m stumbling out of bed, my eyes adjust to what I see
Feel the bathroom light is not as bright as it once used to be
Push the door and I don’t want to believe, what this door had to conceal
Wake me up, this can’t be more than just a dream
This cry for my attention is too horrendous to be real
I call your name, I scream but no one seems to hear
Is this what you’ve felt, as I ignored you all these years
Unfold the note that floats upon the water you’ve turned red
“There was a time I loved you, goodbye” was all it said
Wake me up, this can’t be more than just a dream
This cry for my attention is too horrendous to be real
How could you? We were barely ripping at the seam
What about the promise to grow old with me
Wake me up, this can’t be more than just a dream
This cry for my attention is too horrendous to be real
How could you? We were barely ripping at the seam
What about the promise to grow old with me

Unknown Remains His Name
03:16

He proves by every step he takes, you are nearing your defeat
His cloak is gracefully dancing on the waltz of your deceit
With his shabby hat and cane
A grin that’s always hidden, unknown remains his name
Your iniquity will write your worthless name upon your door
Warn the shadows on your floor
But when it’s dark and blackened feathers are the only things in sight
It’s far too late for worrying, the scarecrow’s taken flight
Spare my life, I’ve always been the best man I can be
I fought, I cared for all my children
Please do not ignore my plea, forgive me for my vice
Do my nightmares not suffice?
Your iniquity will write your worthless name upon your door
Warn the shadows on your floor
But when it’s dark and blackened feathers are the only things in sight
It’s far too late for worrying, the scarecrow’s taken flight
You know what you’ve done
Now you need to confess
He’ll hear your words
But kill you nonetheless
Your iniquity will write your worthless name upon your door
Warn the shadows on your floor

Fought for Queen and Country
Each day I prayed redemption
Yet there past another year
I write this letter to the person who will find me
I’ve seen my share, I wrote my story, I’m sure you would agree
No battle of people but my everlasting fight with time
I don’t know if am waiting for death or sitting out a punishment
Who wants to live forever?
Get stuck in a sure decline
I think the God I loved and prayed to just forgot me
He’s got me in between the devil
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
No battle of people but my everlasting fight with time
I don’t know if am waiting for death or sitting out a punishment
My final prayer as I go numb
Please let me into Your kingdom
Goodbye
Good...

Wrath In Wreath

It’s muscle memory really
I must have done it about 30 times
Each and every frame, a face I thought I knew but then the voices in my head came warning
Her nervous stare assures me that she knows what time it is
“I know about your cheating ways, don’t try to talk me out of this”
Then it was finally over, one more thing to do
Then it was finally over, perfect shade of blue
One more thing to do
I sing our favorite song now, as the rope slips through my hands
A noose tied quickly
This necklace won’t look pretty, it’ll hurt you like you’re hurting me
I’ll feel my pain for years to come, but you, my love, will soon be free
Then it was finally over, one more thing to do
Then it was finally over, perfect shade of blue
One more thing to do
Her face is pale, her eyes wide shut
Why am I covered in this blood?
Has it come down to this
Her face is pale, her face is bliss
Her face is bliss
Now it is finally over, new light shining through
Can’t help but feeling there’s just one thing left to do

Jeez, why the hell is he this close?
His breath fogs up my rear view mirror
Is he trying to push me off the road?
Creep, there’s no way I’m gonna move
What are you trying to prove
What is your fucking deal, you freak?
I won’t let him have his way
Fucks like them should know their place
Guess it’s like a game to him
You don’t want to dance with me
Final time you bumped my ride
Hit the breaks with all my might
Just scaring him off
He starts to swerve
On a collision course
Blood and glass everywhere
Darkness is closing in
Breathe

Entwine

I’m keeping a furious grip on my gun
And I ask myself who’ll answer for what has been done
Just scare this kid off
No way, I won’t just go away
Someone will have to pay
I’ll just shoot them all
I’ll take theirs like they took mine
Knowing my light could be closing
When two divergent stories entwine
Why won’t this guy just let me pass him by
- I’ll just bump his ride -
Just scaring him off
Dude move, what are you trying to prove
I’m on my way to school
And I’ll just shoot them all
I’ll take theirs like they took mine
Knowing my light could be closing
When two divergent stories entwine
