The writing on the walls
Was already there
And I'm about to fall
From Earth
'Cause I am stuck in the past
Should have known it couldn't last
Is it to much to ask
For you to remember that
I'm so sorry
For what this has become
You deserve much better
Than everything I've done

Trapped in metal cocoons
Years spent waiting for the sun
They spin their gears waiting for their plan
To become wanton
They've become the night
Now they've taken your sons
Extinguished every single one
Disguised as innocent men
Through plotting they've won
They've become the night

Shame

Covered by ash, they came by night
Though they made no attempt to hide their flight
Sylvia will never find the home she dreamt for that I wept for
Such a shame
The things that I always kept on a silver platter no longer matter
Fortune, fame
Like a type five hurricane, they came down on us
Sylvia was terrified, I threw her under the bus
Sylvia will never find the home she dreamt for that I wept for
Such a shame
The things that I always kept on a silver platter no longer matter
Fortune, fame

So here we are
looming ash in our sunrise
splitting atoms in our eyes
What happened to the bitter end?
Let's start this all again
If anyone's really left
If anyone's really there
Someone's got to hear us
Call if someone's really there

I can't face this place again
May this all be forgotten
Sometimes you got to give it up
I feel much better now
Deprived of air
Sometime I'll come around
Too much to bear
Jealous of the life
That and I'm scared
Extinction of our kind
I don't fucking care
I tell you now
I told you then
We won't survive
We'll meet our end
With every crutch
And every tear
The next realm
I'll meet you there
This world keeps spinning onward
This world keeps spinning on without us
From the time we met this fate
And the time we fell
The new men have swallowed up
Everything we've known

Don't put on your shoes, bring em down the stairs
Cross your arms and gasp out the frigid air
Even though I'm frozen cold, I start to think about
Where we're going to sleep when we start to drag about
Who knew living in the north would come back to bite us
Living in eternal summer like king midas
would be far preferable to death by radio waves
when gently falling snow could kill us just the same
I guess I always knew when the chips were down,
My son and I would not make it out of town
We survived the drizzle and that's more than I can say
Bout the ones in swizzle's way
We survived the drizzle and that's more than I can say
Bout the ones in swizzle's way
I'll testify, we're going to die

The walk of shame that we've started on
Was a perfect backdrop for this
Seering cores iside it's chest
My lifeforce will soon be it's
Another world reborn again
With a mechanical twist
It once was ours but now I see
The place I play in this
I'm letting go
Ill fate has
Drawn this path
But I have one thing I ask
Save yourself
And pave their hell
Avenge the promise we had
The worst mistake we ever made
Was stepping through that door
Into a place where no man is saved
An aftermath of war
And as it all darkens a metallic smell
Is all I really sense
A bitter end but I have faith
You'll change the tide of this

I've got to get away to the source of life where we came from
I will end it now, go to the place that they can't come
I know you'd feel the same, you'd go to the edge I'm jumping off
I know you'll feel ok, it's time to run, go go go go
To the sea, I know I'll go
I've got to get away to the source of life where we came from
I will end it now, go to the place, go to the deep
I know you'd feel the same
I've got to get away to the source of life where we came from
I will end it now, go to the place, go to the deep

Is it someone new
Someone kind
Did you think you'd last this long
Because I've been way different now you've thrown it away for a dime
You've never blown me off like a ragdoll
So would you kindly stay here
Your future loft can't say
Your handle love can't make
A brothel laughs we fate
Your novel, laud the snake
Under clear blue skies
You were raised
You thought man was on your side
And now your heart rate's higher than your AMSL
You've always blown me off like a parasite
So would you kindly stay here

Plot Song

This Earth, it soon will rust
'cause the sea joined me
A chance to clear the dust
And to justify the means
They, they took her away
But my friends have lost too
With a chance of fire rain
We'll come back to you
Come hell or high water
We cannot fail
This time we're the monsters
No falling back
And the oceans quaked
We are life

Anchors
04:10
|

I taste the breeze
The salty air
And walk the plank
'Cause I don't care
I've dreamed a million dreams
More impossible than this
It's a perfect storm
Pull the anchors
Scratch my name
Into the vacant sea
Lest I'm swallowed up like you
Raise the water
Flood the gates
Drown this fell disease
'Til they taste the venom too
Guided by stars
Intuition
Deserted skies
Ammunition
Bring back your memory
Only lost to time
Hold to your melody
Much lost to this mind

They fell into my small town
I had to check it out
To find that I was more
Than anything I ever dreamed
We'll travel together
Become one with the earth
Through the milky well
And dreaded desert
We will
And the light will be turning to dusk
And the skies will be falling on us
I'll breach time to stop what has begun
And the others that I've found
From the farthest lands around
They'd follow me to the end
To save their mother earth
And the cultists and rats
Are after our souls
What we lack in our strength
Our minds will surely hold
Us up
He's taken your legs
He's taken your arms
He's taken you ears
He's taken your eyes
And when nothing is left
He'll be taking your mind
But you swore and you swore
It's alright, it's alright

hey, i caught you going out
as you were running from their chains
that kept you linked to the ground that you'll soon meet
but you've been freezing up your soul
and i can't recognize you any more
than you can recognize yourself in any mirror you see
you still look like melanie laurent, if she bagged up all her hope and threw it all away
hey, i caught you going out
a single recognizable face
in a greyscale portrait of dismay, and you know
the metal's spread like cancer
and the surgery might not be the answer
everyone's been hoping for, so you'll go

Acid Tongues
04:33

acid tongues taste molten metal
a smile drips slowly across my face
as their lives were soon deprived
it's all i need to feel alive
it's all i need to feel alive
it's all i need to feel alive
it's all i need to feel alive
you took her life, i'll take yours too
prejudice be damned, i'll play the fool
though this earth may not rejuve
it won't come back, neither will you
i've lost the match and lost her too
fire rain crashed down on their hulls
their counterfeit visage melts away
come down
burn fast as you can
you're indebted to the royal blue sea
the sea
it's all i need to feel alive
it's all i need to feel alive

Salty air
Tainted by smoke
It fills
Fills my lungs
It looms over our brigade
A cityscape
My home
A home no more
It rests in the water's grave
the driftwood crawls ashore
the widow she takes the oar
remnants of the cold war
the beach's bleak decor
Down light
Beams on it's face
It's eyes
So human
Concealing it's metal heart
(heart)
And in the interrogation room
It's waiting me out
Why was it you who slighted me
I scream and I shout
With my palms on the desk
Whatever, whenever
I've been had and been misled

it's been seven years since i've
been all on my own
the mistakes your parents made
are all buried deep in the ground
whoa
goddamn another day in paradise
fucking up the ozone keeps that shit sealed up in tight
who needs friends when you're living in paradise
pedal to the floor, since i know i'm going to die
i've been sleeping all night
i need a reason to fight
dreaming off the guilt trip
dreaming off the guilt trip
i need someone else to know
what i had done for you
the mistakes your parents made
are all buried deep in the ground
whoa
don't you know your a misfire
a shot in the dark, a spreading wildfire
i regret meeting you
i regret meeting you
cuz it's fair
not fair
fair not
unfair
not not
unfair
not not
fair enough, fair enough

Breaking The Mold

She's the one
That broke the mold
Though she said she'd never
long ago
You both went down to the station
'Cause it all comes down to you
And when you both go down at the bottom
All is renewed
Gills or lungs
Breathe what you will
This world will soon be better
Once It's refilled
