All I see is eyes and what they hunger for, unwillingly supplied I won’t try to compromise Come and drain me dry Find your demons deep inside soaked in formaldehyde Chemical burns, twist and turn Shedding your skin Evolutional pride Salvaging a life Cut the strings and spread your wings Taste me, just don’t waste me Don’t refrain. This body will be whole again All I flee is mine and what I’m purposed for, willingly denied I won’t try to compromise on the apple of my eye Find your demons deep inside soaked in formaldehyde Chemical burns, twist and turn Shedding your skin Evolutional pride Salvaging a life Cut the strings and spread your wings Taste me, just don’t waste me Don’t refrain. This body will be whole again Taste me, just don’t waste me Don’t refrain. This body will be whole again Taste me, just don’t waste me Don’t refrain. This body will be whole again Find your demons deep inside soaked in formaldehyde Chemical burns, twist and turn Shedding your skin Evolutional pride Salvaging a life Cut the strings and spread your wings Find your demons deep inside soaked in formaldehyde Chemical burns, twist and turn Shedding your skin Evolutional pride Salvaging a life Cut the strings and spread your wings

Concrete Examples 04:13

Eyes wide shut Pulsing inconclusively, in and out Lesson learned A soft foundation of concrete, in and out Soft reflections of all we’ve ever dreamed to be A moment relapsing irresistibly Fly, my fragile evening light Burning bright My psyche needs to survive another night Creating fireflies under the moonlight A momentary release from daily grief Eyes open Breathing incontrollably, in and out Seeing the world for what it is, finally Momentary visual acuity, in and out Perceiving freely and fully and purposefully Soft reflections of all we’ve ever dreamed to be A moment relapsing irresistibly Fly, my fragile evening light Burning bright My psyche needs to survive another night Creating fireflies under the moonlight A momentary release from daily grief Fly, burning bright Fly, burning bright Fly, burning bright Fly, burning bright Fly, my fragile evening light Burning bright My psyche needs to survive another night Creating fireflies under the moonlight A momentary release from daily grief

I am not a truthful god A frantic boss, grief savant I am loss, vision frost Plastic knot, haptic thought Tension pulling, chaos ruling Tension pulling, chaos ruling Tension pulling, chaos ruling Tension pulling, chaos ruling You are lost, fruitless drought A lost snapshot, memoir fraught I’ll walk on, adjoining lot Grown distraught, dead subplot Pray on, Aeon Tension pulling, chaos ruling Tension pulling, chaos ruling Tension pulling, chaos ruling Tension pulling, chaos ruling Rise, interrupting eyes Fanatic breaths in time A specimen of pride Come excise my mind Pray on, Aeon Delegate our salvation, Temper your ambition Delegate our salvation, Temper your ambition Delegate our salvation, Temper your ambition Delegate our salvation, Temper your ambition Free the best of me, a pagan and a thief A lesson in deceit Free the best of me, a pagan and a thief A lesson in deceit Take the best of me A protege made from clay Confined to your display A prisoner away from superficial grace Free the best of me, a pagan and a thief A lesson in deceit Free the best of me, a pagan and a thief A lesson in deceit Rise, interrupting eyes Fanatic breaths in time A specimen of pride Come excise my mind Pray on, Aeon Delegate our salvation, Temper your ambition Delegate our salvation, Temper your ambition Delegate our salvation, Temper your ambition Delegate our salvation, Temper your ambition

Famulus 03:14
lyrics

Tongues tied in twine braided from our own mind An admission of guilt through transmissions we’ve built The fission of trust; a reaction to when you Scratched your bane on the face of what could be A complex figure of speech to undo me Blind, save for the string of alchemy and stalking scenes of a distant memory Burning, turning, make my home Hiding, biding time alone Burning, turning, make my home Hiding, biding time alone When the walls are blinding white And the jacket fits too tight A testament to your might Come be my sacrifice When the walls are blinding white And the jacket fits just right A penitential knight Come be my sacrifice Summation in memoria of every poisoned formula scratched upon my flesh laid bare A grimoire once complete will haunt you Believe in me, feel in me, paint me what you want to be I will contradict everything you’ve ever known Take my place, my role, my face Forsake the right and let it break my soul into a weakened glue no longer binding me and you Tear me from my place beside you. Cast your spell, erase the key When the walls are blinding white And the jacket fits too tight A testament to your might Come be my sacrifice When the walls are blinding white And the jacket fits just right A penitential knight Come be my sacrifice Burning, turning, make my home Hiding, biding time alone Burning, turning, make my home Hiding, biding time alone

The Bottom 04:00
lyrics

Tell me would it make a difference if I let you ignite my mind? You can dance among the flames and let the ashes twist and turn, blow away Maybe some day, we can finally escape, and show them what embers unsmothered create This papier-mâché; a perfect display A beautiful lie, the patterns portray This papier-mâché; watch the patterns decay A beautiful lie that we burn away Midnight light, breathing tight What started with a spark will end up burning this city bright Midnight light, breathing tight Stay with me and burn all night Midnight light, breathing tight What started with a spark will end up burning this city bright Midnight light, breathing tight Stay with me and burn all night Midnight light, breathing tight What started with a spark will end up burning this city bright Midnight light, breathing tight Stay with me and burn all night Don’t be afraid to fall; I’ll be waiting for you at the bottom Don’t be afraid to fall; I’ll be waiting for you at the bottom Don’t be afraid to fall; I’ll be waiting for you at the bottom Don’t be afraid to fall; I’ll be waiting for you Waiting for you at the bottom Waiting for you at the bottom

Vital Signs 04:38
lyrics

She is a dangerous commission Always recycling admission Scribbled promises spent Written with delicate patience Her lips pressed tight Damming up the words she'd carefully rehearsed Every word a trial Every note denial This message in a bottle, a seal failed and bruised A note soaked in nostalgia, ruined by refuse Black and white and inked in lies, bottled for your view I’m setting sail to vital signs He’s built a frantic contrition Sacrificing subtle suspicion A hint of promises stated Borrowing the speeches he’d simulated Her lips pressed tight Damming up the words she'd carefully rehearsed Every word a trial Every note denial This message in a bottle, a seal failed and bruised A note soaked in nostalgia, ruined by refuse Black and white and inked in lies, bottled for your view I’m setting sail to vital signs Head to shore and seek the wreckage Pop the cork to loose the message Become the one the X possesses This vessel’s just what you intended Head to shore and seek the wreckage Pop the cork to loose the message Become the one the X possesses This vessel’s just what you intended Liars, deniers, repliers Her lips pressed tight Damming up the words she'd carefully rehearsed Every word a trial Every note denial This message in a bottle, a seal failed and bruised A note soaked in nostalgia, ruined by refuse Black and white and inked in lies, bottled for your view I’m setting sail to vital signs This message in a bottle, a seal failed and bruised A note soaked in nostalgia, ruined by refuse Black and white and inked in lies, bottled for your view I’m setting sail to vital signs

Rain falling from the sky Wash away every ounce of pride Second guessing my better judgement With every drop of rain A truth I can’t deny With every drop of rain You burrow deeper inside My precious leech go on and bleed me dry I’m yours to lead an existential lie Optimistic death through pessimistic rest Circumstantial evidence Vision clouding in the mist Use my body as you wish A momentary lapse in all I’ve built With every drop of rain I cleanse my mind of you With every drop of rain Building a clearer view My precious leech go on and bleed me dry I’m yours to lead an existential lie Optimistic death through pessimistic rest Circumstantial evidence Take my body and take my blood I hope that I can give enough Take my body and take my self Build me my own personal hell Take my body and take my blood I hope that I can give enough Take my body and take my self Build me my own personal hell My precious leech go on and bleed me dry I’m yours to lead an existential lie Optimistic death through pessimistic rest Circumstantial evidence My precious leech go on and bleed me dry I’m yours to lead an existential lie Optimistic death through pessimistic rest Circumstantial evidence

You’re the itch I long to scratch Tracing birthmarks an art form Circling down a frantic pattern As the rash forms the shape of my intentions (Stay inside my mind) (Stay inside my mind) Your infection She wrote it in her head, but wore it on her face Each line I chose to cross is the one I never traced You tell me I’m the one, as the ink’s erased You tell me I’m the one, the one who should have run Stay inside my mind Just for another night Prey on me a second time Clawing pieces as you want Drag me on and on and on Tell me we’re a perfect match as you raise a glass then turn to ash Wasting every second spent Heaven knows this glass is pouring black Say you’ll give to me I’m begging for another taste of what you’re selling to the crowd they line up sampling from your darkest line yet tried She wrote it in her head, but wore it on her face Each line I chose to cross is the one I never traced You tell me I’m the one, as the ink’s erased You tell me I’m the one, the one who should have run Stay inside my mind Just for another night Prey on me a second time Clawing pieces as you want Drag me on and on and on Your cup pours no compromise Drip, drip, drip, running out of lies The thirst insatiable Two lips that don’t deserve to carry on (The itch grows strong) Your cup pours no compromise Drip, drip, drip, running out of lies (The itch grows strong) The thirst insatiable Two lips that don’t deserve to carry on (The itch grows strong) Your cup pours no compromise Drip, drip, drip, running out of lies (The itch grows strong) The thirst insatiable Two lips that don’t deserve to carry on (The itch grows strong) Your cup pours no compromise Drip, drip, drip, running out of lies (The itch grows strong) The thirst insatiable Two lips that don’t deserve to carry on

At the bottom of a river’s flow Helping me forget one wish at a time Caught in the rapids Out of sight, not of mind As we’re drifting, never willing to pretend As we’re sinking, ever drinking always thinking how it ends Do I measure up with my words and tongue out of rhythm Help me with your algorithm My thoughts are black, my heart is under attack I can’t get enough of having you in my system A dangerous disposition My heart is black with attrition As I wallow in the river’s flow Remembering one wish at a time Out of sight, not of mind A form of perennial pride Your heart is as black as night Your heart is as black as mine Your heart is hole through which I’ll always fall Do I measure up with my words and tongue out of rhythm Help me with your algorithm My thoughts are black, my heart is under attack I can’t get enough of having you in my system A dangerous disposition My heart is black with attrition Your heart is as black as night Your heart is as black as mine Setting sail tonight Haunted by the ghosts of forgotten suns, slain across the horizon Turning pages, razor thin, that cut before the words soak in Your heart is as black as night Your heart is as black as mine Your heart is hole through which I’ll always fall Your heart is as black as night Your heart is as black as mine Your heart is hole through which I’ll always fall Your heart is as black as night Your heart is as black as mine Your heart is hole through which I’ll always fall
