Sometimes

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

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.

Devolution (acoustic)
03:55
|
|||
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

Sirens (acoustic)
03:04

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

Desert Scorpion
04:14
|
|||
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

Trigger Warning
03:58
|

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
