Runaway

Welcome to the part of me that you've never seen
A darker alternate
Stranger within the known, conscious to everything alone
Unearthly compromise rends me incapable of all
the things that hold me back
Turn away or follow me down
Hold your breath we're going under (We're going under)
Close your eyes don't fall asleep (Don't fall asleep, yeah)
You wanna know how life can feel so cold and empty? (You wanna know?)
Descend with me into the deep
I cannot help but feel that I am losing grip on my reality again
It's like everything I say turns around and pushes me back down
A swirl of endless torment, a botched life, existance to persist
Chases me down
Light dies, and I begin to drown
Hold your breath we're going under (We're going under)
Close your eyes don't fall asleep (Don't fall asleep, yeah)
You wanna know how life can feel so cold and empty? (You wanna know?)
Descend with me into the deep
Run away before it's too late
Run away before it's too late
Before it's too late
I cannot help but feel that I am losing grip on my reality again
It's like everything I say turns around and pushes me back down
A swirl of endless torment, a botched life, existance to persist
Chases me down
light dies and I begin to drown

Kiss The Ground

Let’s see how far you'll take this
Before she finally hits the ground
You hypocrite
You love nobody but yourself
A never-ending cycle
Your charming words like poison
She gave you everything and you throw it in her face
Does it make you smile to see the suffering you bring?
Are you satisfied to see that she still wears her ring?
A broken arm, consequence of whim
A tortured soul, the light has burnt so dim
Slowly drowning all your misery
I pray it takes you long before your time
Abuser, let these words take you away
When you are withered you'll be begging her to stay
Let’s see how far you'll make it
Before you finally hit the ground
You're all alone
You loved nobody but yourself
This never-ending cycle
Brought you to where you will begin
Now make amends and kiss the ground you're buried in
Kiss the ground
Slowly drowning all your misery
I pray it takes you long before your time
Abuser, let these words take you away
When you are withered you'll be begging her to stay
Kiss the ground
You fought for nothing
And now you'll bleed for it
‘Cause you fought for nothing
Kiss the ground

Blood & Salt

There's a piece of me I'm stuggling to find
An explanation critical to my own peace of mind
I've wondered far and wide searching every silent cave
I know it's calling me, beckoning beyond the grave
When will I cease to search
And understand my fate
When will I cease to search
And understand my fate
Falling to the floor, underneath it all
I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall
This is not end, I will stand again
But I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall.
Pleading just for one last chance
To turn back time, to redefine
What I've become in my defence
Means cannot justify this fate
Falling to the floor, underneath it all
I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall
This is not the end, I will stand again
But I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall.
Understated, unresolved
mitigated, blood and salt
So fixated, the past still haunts
understated, blood and salt
If it take me to hell's gate
I will understand my fate
Falling to the floor, underneath it all
I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall
Falling to the floor, underneath it all (This is not end, I will stand again)
I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall
This is not end, I will stand again
But I have earned my fall, yeah I have earned my fall

Revolve
04:01

Bring it down
My eyes cry for the solice we once had before
and every single day we feel the same
Questions asked but never answered will be satisfied
When we tear them from their bloody throats
Eyes wide shut
Mouth agape
False sense of importance
No more
Raise your voice
Raze these halls
Surrender everything you love
Revolve
Hearts of gold
Break the mould
If now we breathe our final breath
Will you stand with me, my friend?
We will not be cast aside again, no never again
No never again
We have spent too long inside our heads, so break the mould
Time to revolve
We will not be cast aside again, no never again
No never again
Bring it down, bring it down
Revolve
Pull them from their shelter
No mercy for their crimes
No mercy for the suffering
In the sun they will swelter
Our time is upon us
A new path will we paved
Our time is upon us
We will carry the torch to the grave
We will not be cast aside again, no never again
No never again
We have spent too long inside our heads, so break the mould
Time to revolve
We will not be cast aside again, no never again
No never again
Bring it down, bring it down
Revolve
Bring it down

Coming Apart Again
04:05
|

We’ll go down in fire and flame
We never learn from our mistakes
We pick up the pieces and try again
It’s just a cycle of madness
Damned from the start, too blind to see
That we were not ever meant to be
A few good tries should have been enough
But we’re too stupid to give up
I didn’t fight with my bare hands to end up just like them
Another piece falls out of place
We’re coming apart again
And I didn’t struggle tooth and nail to end it just like this
Too much heat, too little space
We’re tearing apart this place
Accusations flung like stones
From your pretty fragile throne
You look at me as if to say
“it could have ended another way”
Scratching and clawing, biting and lies
Talk of how you’re victimized
But after all that we’ve been through
I think the problem is you
I didn’t fight with my bare hands to end up just like them
Another piece falls out of place
We’re coming apart again
And I didn’t struggle tooth and nail to end it just like this
Too much heat, too little space
We’re tearing apart this place

Dead In The Water
03:07

Pick yourself up off that filthy floor
Good for nothing, but you still want more
Taken so long for us to put it all together
Led by false example
Taken to the grave
Hopeless
Forgotten
Rejected
Insane
There’s weakness in your strength, a poison in your cure
A solemn lack of self-denial, a reason so impure
All the suffering and all the pointless loss of life
Another drop in the ocean, paid from a fortune
Mercy is denied
Breathe the air, isn't it sweet?
(We never saw what hid behind a mask of purity)
Hold it in and slip away
(Don't bother 'cos it's all too late)
Breathe the air, isn't it sweet?
(You've lost your grip of steel and brass, now fall upon your sword)
Hold it in and slip away
All this time, so damn blind
all this time
All this time, waste of life
all this time
