Shameless
Needy
How you've come to ride this down
Faithless
Greedy
How you love to wear your crown
Keep me away from your Armageddon
Keep me away from your Armageddon
Once patient
Wakeful
Now you come to me unsound
Faceless
Wastrel
How you've dragged me underground
Keep me away from your Armageddon
Keep me away
Fuck your Armageddon
You compromise every thought
You terrorize every cause
You finalize every word
You fatalize every wound
Keep me away
Keep me away
You compromise every thought
You terrorize every cause
You finalize every word
You fatalize every wound
Keep me away from your Armageddon
Keep me away
Fuck your Armageddon

Still Too Close
05:23

I hadn't seen you in a while
Last time was the trial
I wondered how you took the verdict
Speaking rights denied
I never knew I was a victim
Until the scars refused to hide
It took me so long to admit this
At your hands I nearly died
And so...
Fifty yards away is still too close
So why am I terrified to let you go?
I sometimes wonder how you're doing
Loved by someone else
The struggle isn't to forgive you
It's how to love myself
And so...
Fifty yards away is still too close
So why am I terrified to let you go?

To all the people in my life who were supposed to get together but they never could connect
To all the spirits in my dreams who were supposed to guide me closer but they never did conceive
May you see the light of day erupt into a flame as you blaze into the spirit of the age
May you rest among the shade, intent upon your place as we fade into the season of decay
To all the people in my life I was supposed to beg forgiveness but I never could respect
To all the spirits in my dreams I was supposed to bring you over but the labor haunted me
May you see the light of day erupt into a flame as you blaze into the spirit of the age
May you rest among the shade, intent upon your place as we fade into the season of decay
Cells divide to live
Designed to die
Denied forever
Don't say yes
Don't say ever
Don't say anything to anyone unless your words begin with never
Senescence

Ramses II

Following three memorable nights
You led me here: your chamber of frights
Binding me, you stole your delights
Drawing circles, drawing circles 'round my waist
Carving circles, carving circles in my nave
Burning circles, burning circles on my face
Once you struck the final bell, I awoke in your spell
You had chosen me as your sacrifice
Suitable to die because I lack the light
Trust no secret; leave no witness
As I faced my death, I discovered my resolve
Not to save my life, but to kill this monstrous soul
You
Hovering you strayed
Feigning sleep I passed the test
Now to fasten my existence to your death
Leaning forward, I committed not to yield
Carving circles, carving circles with my teeth
As you bled and died, you prepared a final spell
Carving circles, carving circles with your nails
In the grains divined, you revealed a crimson name
Drawing circles, drawing circles 'round your grave
Now I've chosen you to be my sacrifice
Suitable to die because you lack the light
Trust no secret; leave no witness
Burning circles, burning circles in your name
Trust no secret; leave no witness
Crossing circles, crossing circles 'round your name

<i>Tristitia</i>

Fell down yesterday
Turned your trust away
Living in delirium
Sleeping with tristitia
(But never all the way)
Dying of delirium
Lying with tristitia
(It happens every day)
Fell down twice today
Burned your trust away
Living in delirium
Sleeping with tristitia
(But never all the way)
Dying of delirium
Lying with tristitia
(It happens every day)
Sometimes when I remember to fight
To trouble with love
To trouble with life
To feel in the dark
To reel in the wind
I render the loss
The loss of my will
The loss of my win
The loss of my will

This is the night you ponder
Such is the life you've squandered
You feel like you're far away
You're so much closer than you know
You wonder why you can't escape
And you could walk out through the door
Your face is like a picture frame
So many people all your own
You try to hide
You can't explain your shame (your shadow) as it grows
This is the road you wander
Such is the world you've haunted
You feel like you're far away
You're so much closer than you know
You wonder why you can't escape
And you could walk out through the door
Your face is like a picture frame
So many people all your own
You try to hide
You can't explain your shame (your shadow) as it grows
This is the time you falter
Such are the fears you harbor
You feel like you're far away
You're so much closer than you know
You wonder why you can't escape
And you could walk out through the door
Your face is like a picture frame
So many people all your own
You try to hide
You can't explain your shame (your shadow) as it grows

Gone for Days on End
05:16

Starting today
The end of the race
Is a little bit closer
A little bit closer
Thoughts you betray
Revealing your age
A little bit older
A little bit older
Your love was enough
Until it was lost
Bound by obsession
Drowned by obsession
Trust might decay
Leave when you may
But hearts must be open
Hearts must be open
Now you're gone
You're gone
For days on end
Now you're gone
You're gone
For days on end
See what you've done
What we've become
How we've been broken
How we've been broken
Words become deeds
Wants reveal needs
The crime of possession
The lie of possession
Starting today
The end of the race
Is a little bit closer
A little bit closer
Thoughts you betray
Revealing your age
A little bit older
A little bit older
Your love was enough
Until it was lost
Bound by obsession
Drowned by obsession
Trust might decay
Leave when you may
But hearts must be open
Hearts must be open
But you're gone
You're gone
For days on end
But you're gone
You're gone
For days on end
