Rot

as it may seem
we are to be
what lies in ruins
beneath the trees
buried in the soil
somewhere far beneath
the dead that hide from scorching light
will never be seen
we feed the roots
we supply their needs
we are the color
the blood of the leaves
broken bones and rotting dreams

Descend in Disorder
02:42

point me to the north because I can't see the light
living with the waste and we're only wasting time
what is it that brought us here?
what do you expect to find?
keep it inside; just keep it inside
I know that you're right
bury me in the west
forever here will I reside
resurfacing by the water's edge
carried by the tide
why are we anchored here?
why can't we cut the line?
let us drift into the abyss
and lose ourselves in time
run, don't hide
you said that I'd be safer here
there's nothing left, but the blood on our bones
we've done this to ourselves
we are the ones to blame
deserving nothing else
digging a bigger grave
we brought this on ourselves
we bare the weight of shame
there simply is no time
these things may never change

A Shift in Spectrum
03:15
|
|||
you call this freedom well I call these lies
an ounce of progress costs us too much time
lets all push for a change of pace
burn this system; end this slavery
breathe progress; bring change
we've all been told that we're born free
but our need for money keeps us on our knees
with a noose made from debt
they have hung us high by ours necks
I'd give for something because I've lived for nothing
lets die for something because we've lived for nothing
breathe progress
a new path will be made
breathe change
nothing that lives stays the same

Divination, Lost
03:47
|
|||
I can't bare the weight of the mistakes we make
keeping pace
not counting the lives we take
throwing life away
with no concern, we disregard
we are all the same
exhibiting the same patterns and social change
taking it all and giving nothing away
we're too blind to see
we're just digging our graves
It's in our design to lose sight of the value of our lives and what's important
when we try to find a greater purpose we detach ourselves from the surface
this weight on us
born from hate
consumed our souls and sealed our fate

Preach
03:36
|
|||
take the lead
It's not my time
I am the guilty one
I can speak, but not my mind
ignore the warning signs
open mouth
words to speak, but my voice is vacant
the pain this brings and empty life
my will is broken
without a voice you're not living and without your word you're not giving
no two cents left to take
no truth to make you shake
a life lived in silence is a grave mistake
there is regret inside of me for every word never spoken, for every moment passing by and opportunity never taken
the love I never preached is the love they'll never see and the things I held inside were the things that made me
everything has to die
It's the final test of time, but our words forever echo in the hearts of those alive
preach
speak just one more word
you don't need to live in silence
let your voice be heard

Traverse
03:58
|

two hands and nameless
from the bottom, left us shameless
to the ghosts who write and change this
I'm left with no love or hatred
hanging through waters without a face
covered; control our fates
as I see without wanting
as I come without learning
my sleep will be left alone
: :
holding onto this in my head
where these walls of thoughts exist
blend into blood
draw my thoughts in red
when the morning came
the stars burned into rain
left alone in selflessness
hopeless in thoughts of shame
: :
against the winds that left hopes of regret
burns the heads of men dressed in red
against the hills that end
swallows helpless
touch the hands of men ready for death

Raindogs
02:33
|

our heavy hearts, our bones will hold
we were made to bare the weight
behind softened eyes, our blood runs cold
we were never made to break
through this dark depression we march through the rain
baring acts from broken pasts we've managed through the pain
we carry all your burdens
rain washes the blood away
It fuses with the soil, promising of change
a new life arises from the ashes where we sleep
ask us not where we hail from or the secrets that we keep
tell us of your burdens
we will wash them all away
we are the hounds of rain and you are of the same

The Negation of Life
07:53
|
|||
wasting away while I float free
no more withholding the air that I breathe
I'll be just fine as a careless disease
always on the run, you're always looking for me
I drift away in the ocean that sings
takes me away and washes me clean of the years of abuse
from a toiling machine
rusting, eroding and malfunctioning
you're wasting away and no one cares
you're wasting away and I don't care
the pieces have fallen, just look at you
the sirens are calling, it's time to fade out
you can't always have what you didn't create
a selfish machine, you only knew how to take
I've salted my wounds, in time they will heal
but you're just a machine, you don't even feel
follow me now
follow me down
this barren ocean will drown us both out
follow me in
follow me down
open up and let your grave take you
there is nothing here for you now
let the water erase you
follow me in
follow me down
this will erase you
nothing can save you
follow me in
follow me down
a rift opens in the ocean floor
twisting and turning and pulling in more
violent circles emerge on the surface
pulling you in to fulfill your purpose
the pressure increases, closing you in
regret gleams in the light of your eyes
just as your end really begins
you understand love
you understand life
I resurface
eyes to the sun
my back to your grave
you fade out; I drift away

Without a Tongue
04:05
|
|||
five years; its been five years and nothing has changed
I'm still choking on my tongue
I'm still tripping on my feet
every time I try to speak, I can't breathe
my mind races, but the words escape me
trapped in my own body
beaten down by the sun
I'm still too blind to see what lies in front of me
still I drink to save myself and still I struggle like I'm drowning
It's like I'm locked in from the outside
peering out from behind glass eyes
I've been calling out; I've been screaming for years
you've never heard a word I've said
you can't see it in my actions
It's clearly written on my face
I'm tired of chasing ideas; expression seem insane
forever waiting for the day I stop breathing
slow decay
slowly fading away

Echoes in Passing
03:26
|
|||
white walls we leave behind remind us of our forward movement in time
and we sing to a new song of greater design
we don't have to bare our flaws anymore
letting go to keep in stride
what was once cloaked in mud is now washed clean by innocent blood
these aren't our burdens anymore
bring me home
we call for hope, but we are alone
|

Zero
06:11
|
|||
time slows down with every breath I take
any moment could be my last
take it in; I take it all in
through glassy eyes I absorb the surroundings
I thought I've seen it all until now
I see everything for the first time
pouring; seeping
my skin grows cold
draining; leaking
separating from bone
the cutting wind upon my face
the burning of flesh from violent sun rays
the last of feeling before the numb
dimming nerves
dying young
darkness swells from all around
closing in on the glowing scenery
my chest heaves out as I gasp for air
I've never been so at peace before
this departure is not my end
this is where my life begins
: :
dissolve; dissipate; fade away
I have removed myself to make room for change
burnout; disappear; decay
I must return to nothing
I must go away
zero returns to nothing
