Sometimes 03:38
Sometimes Alone under the world Sometimes The darkness all around Sometimes Oh… sometimes And they'll say it should be better Sometime And one time Like a needle in the skin one time It only takes one time You shouldn't let it in One time Sometimes An empty armed embrace Sometimes The neverending solitude Sometimes Oh, sometimes Their praise only adds to the guilt Sometimes But that one time That one time one time Like a needle in the skin one time It only takes one time You shouldn't let it in One time Can't let the pleasure in The darkness is what's real Trick yourself with misdirection Sometimes Sometimes

Almost There 04:46
Slow walk sad eyes Street lights shown bright Main Street drunk fight Home alone at night I want it, I need it Deep into your eyes and I’m falling under You stoke it, You feed it Smokey air at night and we were there together I want it, I need it I lay my heart on the line and it’s torn asunder You stop it, Impede it We were almost there, we were almost there, we were almost there, but you have another Speed drive all dark Cry eyes torn apart Heart lost no spark Love gone still born I want it, I need it Deep into your eyes and I’m falling under You stoke it, You feed it Smokey air at night and we’re there together I want it, I need it I lay my heart on the line and it’s torn asunder You stop it, Impede it We were almost there, we were almost there, we were almost there, but you have another Rage filled am I Dark day dark night Can’t think not right Impact red lights I want it, I need it Deep into your eyes and I’m falling under You stoke it, You feed it Smokey air at night and we’re there together I want it, I need it I lay my heart on the line and it’s torn asunder You stop it, Impede it We were almost there, we were almost there, we were almost there <repeat to end>

Before the day that I was born you Came into my home Swayed hearts and minds against me And left me there alone They call me different, they call me special I will not be like them They won't accept me, they can't accept me I just will not pretend But you put the darkness in their hearts and in their minds Yeh I will not lie for you Yeh You shouldn't want me to As I grow older I can't escape you Your tyranny remains They won't accept what I've become They will not say my name I am the other, the one who left and Followed my own path And I am hollow in my pain Left in their aftermath You put that darkness in their hearts And in their minds Yeh I will not lie for you Yeh You shouldn't want me to Yeh I will not lie for you Yeh You shouldn't want me to Yeh I will not bow to you Yeh Why do you want me to?

Fanfare 03:59
Another roadside grave A place to check off while passing through That stagnant old town The setting of my youth With a fanfare That little boy blew Pushed aside and forgotten Somehow he marched through Confined now in darkness Freed from his attic tomb A dark trumpet rings out The show must go on And on And on And on With a fanfare That little boy blew Pushed aside and forgotten Somehow he marched through Living the dream Never alone Children around him Are singing his song Never fulfilling That basest need Because in their eyes He could never succeed But with a fanfare That little boy blew Pushed aside and forgotten Somehow he marched through They're finally realizing Though it's far too late to show The boy up in the attic Made a difference after all With a fanfare That little boy blew Pushed aside and forgotten Somehow he marched through With a fanfare That little boy blew Pushed aside and forgotten Pushed aside and forgotten Pushed aside and forgotten Somehow he marched through

Alone 03:56
The darkness in the Earth today A welcome respite in the pain The sunset in the rain Telling me that I'll live again But right now I don't see a way To rise up from this mire I'm in The light has left my life And here I stand alone Her scent lingers as it fades away I yearn for it and try to take it in Dust rises and I feel the pain Night falls as I crumble within Right now I don't see a way To rise up from this mire I'm in The light has left my life And here I stand alone A hint of light on the horizon Just a glimpse of what might be The wind is swift to free my consciousness Leaving room in me for me And now I can see a way To rise up from the mire I'm in The light has washed the pain And here I stand alone The light has replenished me I'll face the world alone.

Bluetooth grannies, a clutter in my ears Another cold day in hell with a smoke and a beer Windfallen angels and sludge near the curb Another day in creation devolving the world. And no matter what I've heard What am I doing here? Leaving tower of Babel, the end's always near The Serpent begs forgiveness as we live in fear Yahweh falls higher, redemption be damned Another trick of creation, another sleight of hand And no matter what I've had What am I doing here? A tree falls in mourning, wisdom does on deaf ears Man is his own creation, a blasphemy quite clear For man made himself in the image of hate An image to celebrate An image to fear An image to fire An image to And no matter what I've done What am I doing here?

Say you don't want it And say you don't need it Say you condemn it Refusing to feed it Vultures feast on carrion Show them that you're battle worn Scarred and torn we must go on Take back power from the storm Feel like turning Feel like burning Say you don't want it And say you don't need it Say you condemn it Refusing to feed it Lies consuming It's all breaking Filled with lies Try to deny No truth inside The power hungry will go on Refuse their pathos and hold strong In your chest your armor's worn Lies deflected, truth is born Filled with lies But truth won't die Say you don't want it And say you don't need it Say you condemn it Refusing to feed it Vultures feast on carrion Show them that you're battle worn Scarred and torn we must go on Take back power from the storm The power hungry will go on Refuse their pathos and hold strong In your chest your armor's worn Lies deflected, truth is born Filled with lies But truth won't die

Loading up my VPN Jumping into Tor Locking up my privacy Like I ain't ever done before Orangutan Jester in Chief is Selling off our lives Round and round gentrification No recourse to the lies Welcome to the dark age Where we villify the truth All hail the pale ones Or they're coming after you We’re puppets to the master Herr Putin wants his dues Dictator’s mocking laughter He found a business we can't sue Giving up is not an option As we deal in human lives War builds economies No room for compromise Welcome to the dark age Where we villify the truth All hail the pale ones Or they're coming after you Rise up, rise up This can't be who we are Rise up, rise up This shit has gone too far…. Welcome to the dark age Where we villify the truth All hail the pale ones Or they're coming after you Shh they can hear you

Eridu 03:46
Forty days and forty nights The darkness and the rain The waters rose in Eridu But you revelled in our pain You revelled in our pain You call it a miracle, the cleansing of the years The waters rose in Eridu, and my family flees in fear Forty days and forty nights The darkness and the rain The waters rose in Eridu But you revelled in our pain You revelled in our pain We've been judged by you, we are God forsaken My children's tears, I can't hold back I won't hold back Ohhhh Forty days and forty nights The darkness and the rain The waters rose in Eridu But you revelled in our pain You revelled in our pain You call it a miracle, the cleansing of the years The waters rose in Eridu, and my family flees in fear

Two sisters sitting by the fire Both have eyes on the one thing they desire. You walk in, you're little more than prey Their only goal, to put your heart away And they'll do anything They'll touch you They'll tease you They'll lay upon your skin. Ensnare you Release you They'll make you think you'll win. And they'll caress you And they'll suck you And they'll hold you And they'll fuck you. All to show you it's the only way. Lust not love will take her to her grave. Balance lies in your able hands But right now they'll help you understand. They'll show you things You want to do They'll taste you Embrace you They'll fuck you

I wandered the nights alone The darkness called me and offered me home But instead I wallowed within Unwanted in this skin I will cry no more I wanted to figure it out Years of sadness trapped in years of doubt And I could only run away Sands swept over the passage of time I met her again and she offered me wine The desert wind locked us in the past I forgot how long that pain did last Through the rapture I let her back in Her scorpion sting buried in my skin I will not bleed for her I thought I had figured it out Years of sadness washed away in doubt I drifted back in time I gave my body and lost my mind I gave my body and lost my mind I gave my body and lost my mind And she left again I wandered the nights alone The darkness called me and offered me home But instead I wallowed within Unwanted in this skin I will cry once more I thought I had figured it out Years of sadness returning now I had drifted back in time I started to figure it out Years of sadness trapped in years of doubt And I could only run away

I called you directly Concerned for your health and your sanity Turns out your problems weren't problems at all Just some more bullshit for attention You think that you are the only one No, you aren't the only one I'm hitting your triggers You're making it bigger Than it could ever be You're throwing a fit I really don't give a shit You say my thinking's obsolete You hung up abruptly Never know what the hell you think I did Now you're hating and socially bating The problem was never me You think that you are the only one No, you aren't the only one I'm hitting your triggers You're making it bigger Than it could ever be You're throwing a fit I really don't give a shit You say my thinking's obsolete I'm coming from seasons of grief Paved the way so you can fucking breathe You want me to back off and just let you be But life will not coddle you and fall at your feet You think that you are the only one No, you aren't the only one I'm hitting your triggers You're making it bigger Than it could ever be You're throwing a fit I really don't give a shit You say my thinking's obsolete
