Dark Seed

Nature, was I born at a loss
Was I mistaken to think I could give it up
Maybe it’s a dark seed planted too deep inside me
Its buried far below but I water it constantly
Cause every time I thought I’d escaped it
It just keeps coming back up
And every time I thought I could break it
It just keeps coming back up
Is it a tragedy, a tragedy?
Is it a tragedy?
I hide it in the dark, never let the enemy win
Because its only human nature
to hurt the ones who let you in
Whispered in silent violence against women
It’s in the history of powers corrupt
So I shut the walls around me
And open myself wide up
Cause every time I thought I’d escaped it
It just keeps coming back up
And every time I thought I could break it
It just keeps coming back up
Oooh ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Oooh ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Is it something deep inside
A dark seed I can’t see
I try to drown it out
But I water it constantly
Is it something deep inside
A dark seed I can’t see
I try to drown it out
But I water it constantly
Oooh ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Oooh ooh ooh oh oh oh oh

Roses for Ruins
05:59
|

|
I was an open plain
Let you wander my terrain
Season’s time brings season’s change
Suspicion’s gaze in your eyes brings
Cool winds blade to the open skies
I gather the ruins of your attacks
Build walls around me
To keep it from coming back
And will I ever fall in love again?
Or maybe I build up too many defences
Will I ever fall in love again?
Or maybe I build up too many defences
From you, from you, from you, from you
From you, from you, from you, from you
Blood spills, turns to roses
Thorned and jagged art
Of growing in the dark
To keep in my fear
The roots grow so deep and high
They will bury my body
Foreshadow forgotten skies
And will I ever fall in love again?
Or maybe I build up too many defences
Will I ever fall in love again?
Or maybe I build up too many defences
From you, from you, from you, from you
From you, from you, from you, from you
From you, from you, from you, from you
From you, from you, from you, from you
Cold as ice, couldn’t feel
Wasn’t right, wasn’t real
Cold as ice, couldn’t feel
Wasn’t right, wasn’t real
Cold as ice, couldn’t feel
Wasn’t right, wasn’t real
Cold as ice, couldn’t feel
Wasn’t right, wasn’t real
Cold as ice, couldn’t feel
Wasn’t right, wasn’t real
Cold as ice, couldn’t feel
Wasn’t right, wasn’t real
Cold as ice, couldn’t feel
Wasn’t right, wasn’t real
Cold as ice, couldn’t feel
Wasn’t right, wasn’t real
Cold as ice

Paper Ash
06:51
|

|
We dug for power in the ground
Built this prison to be free
If we keep searching to destroy
Paper Ash will be our only legacy
And we’re always running into the night with fists of fire
Can there be another good decision here?
And we’re always running headstrong into the violence
There must be another new direction here
Search the numbers for your answer
Ascending order to bind the hands
Laid your conscience down with death’s last rights
It was buried in the burning oil sands
And we’re always running into the night with fists of fire
Can there be another good decision here?
And we’re always running headstrong into the violence
There must be another new direction here
We are stars turned to flame
We are dust
Return to earth our last remains
We are dust
We are stars turned to flame
We are dust
Return to earth our last remains
We are dust
We are dust, we are dust
We are dust, we are dust

Lead Blood
07:15
|

|
All my, my fear
Will be brought to you here, as machine
I do believe, I’m still alive
When memories trace is code in database
Will you hunt me?
I cannot go back to that lie
And I can’t run on low forever
No, there’s no rule for you
You see the object, in every body consumed
You are the one, they call the running blade
Your battle cries cost is just lead blood lost like tears in the rain
And who will cry for lead blood lost like tears in the rain
All the wars you won forgotten like tears in the rain
All the gold you claim forgotten like tears in the rain
Like tears in the rain
Like tears in the rain
Like tears in the rain
Like tears in the rain
Like tears in the rain
Like tears in the rain

Glass & Obsidian
05:16
|

|
The truth it laid, for centuries
Locked inside, the bed rock
In chambers deep, pressure builds
With heat, we rise
Crystalline
With molten cores
Earth DNA, solidified
We Rise
We Rise
We won’t be denied
We won’t, we won’t
We won’t be denied
We won’t, we won’t
We won’t be denied
We won’t, we won’t
We won’t, we won’t
We won’t, we won’t
The truth it comes
Electrified
With fire, with gas
With mineral
With water, with salt
We cleanse our minds
We see into the future lives
With bodies of glass
Obsidian, the time has come
We Rise
We Rise
We won’t be denied
We won’t, we won’t
We won’t be denied
We won’t, we won’t
We won’t be denied
We won’t, we won’t
We won’t, we won’t
We won’t, we won’t

Fiction's Refrain
06:46
|
|||
|
I can feel your ghost beside me, visions I keep
Isolated moments in my mind, light dance and repeat
We grew old within stills we stole
Breathe with fiction’s refrain
Reflections cast like scattered ash
To mourn our last remains
And you play the holy father saint
And I play the penitent child ashamed
And you play the hard but decent man
And I play the corrupter of your command
But I can feel your ghost beside me
I can hear your voice whisper softly
I can feel your breathe upon me
It almost feels like truth
I’ve given up on us
But you’re the only one who wakes me up
And I’ve given up on us
But you’re the only one who wakes me up
And it haunts me, it haunts me
It haunts me, it haunts me
But you never really learned to love
You lost something inside you
You lacked something inside you
(x4)
And it haunts you, it haunts you
And it haunts you, it haunts you
And it haunts me, it haunts me
And it haunts me, it haunts me
And it haunts me/you, it haunts me/you
And it haunts me/you, it haunts me/you
And it haunts me/you, it haunts me/you
And it haunts me/you, it haunts me/you

Snakes

Words are silent, in your eyes
I find, the fault line
Gather figures, pull them in
Recreate, negotiate
No need for, kind regards
Tell me strait, what is my mistake
Shape the shapes inside
Shapes laid deep in my mind
Shape the shapes inside
These are the shapes of my life
Shapes laid deep inside
Hey heya, hey heya
Hey heya, hey heya
Shape the shapes, you create
Construct, the perfect
Shine the illusion, form the veil
Make believe, its reality
Find the facts, bring them back
Tell me lines, to draw the shapes of my life
Shape the shapes inside
Shapes laid deep in my mind
Shape the shapes inside
These are the shapes of my life
Shapes laid deep inside
Snake, snake
Snake, snake
Snake, snake
Snake, snake

Dream to Forget
07:16
|
|||
|
You feel a loss of the good inside
Wanna leave it all behind
You see the hunger and the pain
Of people lost in time
And it’s not an easy job
Living in this world
Things look quite the same
when your staring at the void
Come closer
Come to me
Everything’s gonna be alright
If we just shut our eyes
And learn to be
How lovely it would be
For two bodies to breathe
To lose ourselves in time
Forget reality
It’s not an easy job
Living in this world
But we can find some comfort
In the physical, oh oh oh
Come closer
Come to me
Everything’s gonna be alright
If we just shut our eyes
And learn to be
I’d forgotten, what it’s like to breath
Let’s get closer, let’s leave behind the cruelty
I’d forgotten, what it’s like to breath
Let’s get closer, let’s leave behind the cruelty
And If I fall to sleep
Will I wake from this dream?
And I forgot the world
when I fucked you
