Embrace in a grave slumber
As we fell from grace
The world turns, you get colder
Darkens your beautiful face
The leaves fell, they froze over
Time becomes less constrained
What happens to
When we get older
Will it always be the same?
Are you slipping
Into the lurid
Is there contrition
In your soul
Your body goes asunder
There's nothing left to trace
My attempts
Became bolder
In this black abyss
Space
The moon blocks the solar
We both pass in vain
That very night
I showed her
We would feel no more pain
Are you slipping
Into the lurid
Is there contrition
In your soul
We could have been so perfect
There's nothing left to say
You are nothing but an addict
You threw it all away
We found this darkness
In the lightest places
Just a trussed up junkie
Slumped in a doorway
You threw it all away
How can you
You choose this?
In this sin, sin eternal
You can't hate me forever
Lost within, the infernal
Why, Why choose this
With something left to live for?
Where is the line?
When will it end?
It still shocks me, to the core.

Dust of Dismay

In these towns,
What we hold dear
is family, don't you agree?
I would rather drown
Than live in fear
This is my decree
How would you like it the other way?
Absent parent, day to day
Alcoholic mother, what's left to hide?
A failed attempt but at least they tried.
You are my skin and bone
Does it hurt to say,
You'll never find home
Will these feelings stay?
In these times
What means most
Is family, don't you agree?
When the bell chimes I'll turn ghost
Give me a bigger dose
How would you like it the other way?
Absent parent, day to day
Abusive farther, what's left to hide?
A failed attempt but at least they tried.
You are my skin and bone
Does it hurt to say,
You'll never find hope
Will these feelings stay?
Can't you see it?
Nothing but the dust of dismay,
You be rid of it, or look the other way
There's no place to hide,
Your hands are fucking tied
It's either go or fucking stay
Dust of Dismay
Stronger than your own sin
Stronger than God's mercy
I'd rather drown
Than live in fear
What you seek, you'll never find
You'll try your whole life, but never mind
Unless you change the way you think,
Your whole life, blood in the sink.

Manufactured Loss

We've been betrayed
In these depths of misery
Blinded by the love you gave
No hope, no future, no history
You have hurt the ones you call family
They have been slain
On your tongue, acidity
In this hell you'll remain.
In your mind there is, ruins burning
In your heart there's, hollow beating
In your soul, you are yearning
Am I the one that you are defeating?
You orchestrated your own demise,
You've lasted this long, a mystery
Everything you became I despised
No destiny
The shit from your mouth
I'll never get over what you did to me
Just wanted to hear the truth
Hope, future, destiny
In your mind there is, ruins burning
In your heart there's, hollow beating
In your soul, you are yearning
Am I the one that you are defeating?
You can't cut the head off a snake,
When it's made of stone
How many more times
I can never go home
Do you know what you've done
Your true colours have shown
I will never go home
I'll never go home
No, you wont, take more from me, you wont, take more from me.
No, you wont, take more from me, you wont, take more from me.
