I will live
So hard to wake
Blind from the smoke and the throbbing heartache
No light
They held me underground
Don’t move, don’t scream, don’t make a sound
In life
There’s no time for regret
I’ve lived endless lives just trying to forget
I’m done
So sick of it all
We only hit harder the further we fall
Bite your tongue
You’ve said enough
I don’t wanna hear it
Shut the fuck up
Hear them sing, hear them calling
See them cast their eyes to the sky
I can’t breathe, I’m suffocating
Faced with this life, I’d rather die
Hear them lie, hear them preaching
See them condemn who you are
I can’t see through the mist around me
Covering the sky, afraid of the stars
Living with this vice only covers up the illness
Walking this path under painted skies
Want to see the end? You just follow all the nooses
Hear the vultures sing, hear the blackbirds cry
Live this way or you suffer with the symptoms
There’s a way out, abandon your fear
Without any sin there’s no need for salvation
Listen now close, it rings so clear
Hear them sing, hear them calling
See them cast their eyes to the sky
I can’t breathe, I’m suffocating
Faced with this life, I’d rather die
Hear them lie, hear them preaching
See them condemn who you are
I can’t see through the mist around me
Covering the sky, afraid of the stars
I look out on a windswept future
I carve out a curse in your name
Encircle me, let me suffer
Cut out my eyes, never love again
I forgot what it’s like to live
The fear numbed fucking everything
But I can’t catch every tear you shed
I can’t save you, you’re already dead

Catharsis

Black sails grace the horizon
And I watch from the beach
As you suffer, as you struggle
So far out of reach
As the clouds sink into me
My mouth fills with decay
The burden of guilt builds
With every passing day
Will the colours succumb
To the embrace of the grey?
Even if it destroys me
I won’t let them pass away
I fought for you for years
And you never let me win
I drained your soul of sorrow
I absolved all your sins
I fought a thousand battles
I will fight thousands more
Put your goddamn pistol down,
Pick yourself up off the floor
Kept afloat by your heart
As you wash into the storm
My arms are the ropes
That keep you bound to the shore
Keep the fires of hope
Aflame in your eyes
We’ll light the catacombs
Buried deep in your mind
Think you’re alive? Show me
Think you’re alive? Let me know
Think you’re alive? Show me
You won’t dangle from this rope
Think you’re alive? Show me
Think you’re alive? Let me know
Think you’re alive? Show me
I will never let you choke
All the grief, all the pain
Insects writhing in my brain
Fear takes hold, fade to black
All the words we can’t take back
And through it all
All the pages we burned
Through it all
There is no lesson left to be learned
We dared to cross the oceans
Choked with the poison of the past
We stole our smiles from the darkness
While the world looked on aghast
In the swirling night winds
Painted blue across the sky
We found the joy inside us
Beneath the corpses of our lies
Broken sails still catch the breeze
The ship still sails on the stormy seas
With no room left for banality
We found our lost tranquillity

Divination

There’s no use taking flight, anchored down by the lies
We tell ourselves just to go on living
Delusion clings to us like an illness
The face of truth is framed by snakes
We stand transfixed by the stony gaze
Sleep safe and sound, under your crown
But you can’t see the bodies for the bones
Piling up corpses in the shape of a throne
The price you ask is far too high
For a future we cannot abide
Will we ever see a spark to break up the dark?
Surrounding us, an endless abyss
A formless void, yet still we persist
What truths lie beneath the veil?
How can we see with lights so frail?
Secrets will sleep in the ground, never to be found
As the grave worms eat through the decay,
We watch the dawning of the end of days
Now my eyes will fill with smoke
I will scream my defiance until I choke
Until I choke
I won’t lay down, I will not give in to fate
I won’t give up, I will stare death in the face
