A familiar haunting hums in view
The heat of their pursuit
Folie a deux
One from two
Not much to break this hollow ruse
My heart it shapes from foe to muse
A legacy gone blue
One fell two
And I hear the curve in tune
And I fear my doubts they
All allude
Blind to their abuse
All for you
All from you
All for you
All from...
Flows from your mouth
All from you
All for you
All from you
All for...
Grows from your mouth
My heart laid safe away
Apart your ache won’t fade
Your heart laid safe away
Apart my ache won’t fade
Soothsayer
Earthshaker
Oathtaker
Frustrater
My maker
All in you
Go close your mouth

The Water

Blood, blood in the water
Don’t make this harder
Can’t explain
Strange
I feel nothing
When your words once dripped meaning
I’ve forgiven All you owe me
Where’s it written That you can still know me?
Can’t stay angry
I’ve run empty
Shed you slowly
Now all I see is the…
Blood, blood in the water
Spit, spin, or swallow
The silence let it bleed
Believe me this once
I was never a given
What was endless, endless, endless
Lost the depth
I’ve let go of All that could be
Say it’s cold,
Say that I’ll end up lonely
Why stay angry?
We’ve run empty
Bold and lowly
I don’t care if we are…
Blood, blood in the water
I let go of all that could be
I let go of never would be
The end came as relief

Tabula Rasa

We save us
No one else
No answer answer
Doubt our way to truth
No answer answer
No higher calling
No savior saviors
I know this is new to you
No one to show you what to do
We are what we make
Can't run in bad faith
We make us
A life as rebellion
Restoration
Find freedom and strength with no consolation

War At My Side
05:08
|

|
The life I’m told I’m owed is gone
They bought and sold me out
How could They take
And break my faith
Then sink to think
This time we wouldn’t blink
Secret messages
No one heard
No one saw
No one paid for what was done to me
Now you want
Want it all
Takes what’s left And give it away for free
You distort my pain and deem it a pleasure
The mess that we’ve become
Now I’ve lost everything
Even with The war at my side
A lie so bold
That unity would hold
I know how others see me
A big mistake
The side you take
Deserved Or earned
It’s all burned
And now no one’s safe
You distort my pain and take great pleasure
No one heard
Well, you’ll hear me now
No one heard
Well you’ll hear
Yeah you’ll hear
Well you’ll hear me now
One and done
One and damage done

Wolves
04:39

Fitful night
Same empty fight,
Hushed tones, lips tight
Restless sleep
Each breath a thief
Just leave with me, just leave
Pushing back
Walls close in
A cardinal sin
The state we’re in.
No time to grieve
Take the risk please,
You’ll see. Just leave with me
Pushing back
Stories we trade
Keep wolves at bay
Except for one
Tempered, afraid
Our embers fade
Except for one
Things fall apart
Are crushed or sparked
Cradle them and crack the lock
Push to see
What they can’t keep from us
Pushing back
Every piece of me is pleading to stay
Except for one
Except for...
One

Reverberate

Baby come over
It's late I know
You can't sleep, circle closer
Sober thoughts take hold
Hit hard when I'm alone
That feeling with no name
Do you remember?
Broke open again and again
To let it all in
My love
You know me better
Than I could know
My past stretches out vast
And overblown
If I can’t be better
Let me be true and kinder
There was a moment
Riding high when living my lowest
Slip her on for the night
Seed to feel what I was like
Broke open again and again
To let it all in
Promise
Honest
Did we say what we meant or
Just talk,
Sleepwalk,
Landmarks lost, the path we were taught
Did we know once and then forgot

Each Little Death
04:50
|
|||
|
You give me your ear
Expecting it all
A dangerous place
The high before the fall
Encase or erase me I break
I never knew how much space to take
How will I know if we speak the same tongue?
I have a habit of nursing
Only the licks that stung
The licks that stung
A lift of the veil
My words are aflame
A vision laid bare
But who should feel ashamed?
Unbowed and unbent my fair shape
I never knew how much space to take
How will I know if we speak the same tongue?
I have a habit of nursing what stung
Only the licks that stung
The licks that stung
How will I know if we speak the same tongue?
I have a habit of nursing what stung
For what each little death left undone
Sink through my edges
Or give up the gun
Only the licks that stung
The licks that stung
The licks that stung
Only the licks that stung

You can keep your straight line
Jail time
You can keep your safe ride
Hold tight as I
All day And a night
Deep bind
But I see my gate wide
Head held high
And so they say our rules keep you safe
And so we play at prison as escape
You can’t hold me now
I can hear my pulse rise
Star bright
I can feel my hips glide
Soft light
As I see your eyes wide
Hands tied
As I feed my sweet crime
Waste no time
And so they say our rules keep you safe
And so we play at prison as escape
You don’t hold me now
I can be the pure side
Slow dive
I can be the sharp knife
Cold sight
But how can I free my deep cry
Echoes denied
From a steep climb or bled dry
Threads untied
Won’t hold me now
And so we play at prison as escape
And so they say our rules keep you safe
You won’t hold me now

Pythoness
04:12

Smoke rolls from the hill
Three knocks at your door
No wool tips the scale
A toll will reveal
Push through confusion and anger
Press the wound and heal
Tempted leave it
Fallow
Tender vessel, go
Follow….
A plow from a sword
Penance here fulfilled
Godless, not blameless
A tithe forms the seal
The refuge of hubris and anger
Razed and hewn, mastered and heeled
Your fear is not enough
Your guilt, damn silt, is not enough
Put hands in dirt, build a new church, rebirth
Each beam a bone, ardor the stone
Atone, disown, witness, confess, yes
Enough
Follow…

My body betrays me
Gives way, gives away
Control and withhold
Withhold and condone
Hold
Hold close the dual sense
We know the constant
A moving target
Live or lie
The fix, the forfeit
Live or lie
Endure, an offering
My body betrays me
Gives way, gives away
Control and disavow
Withhold, hesitate
Hold
Hold close the dual sense
We know the constant
A moving target
Live or lie
Forfeit
Live or lie
Endure
Betrayed
Live or lie
Betrayed
My body betrays me
Gives way, gives away
My own, uncontrolled
