Turpentine won’t clean it off
There’s nothing left but what you wrought
Deep inside you know the cost
Another day another life was lost

When your time has come and gone
You lived your life like nothing’s wrong 
Like the moonlight haunts the sun
These are all the ghosts you will become


Somethings wrong
No one there
Pass each day without a care
No solemn vow, no mournful prayer
Will bring you back, who knows from where

The name you made now history
Your day to day a mystery
How could you do this to me
Leave all this broken, piece by piece


Turpentine won’t clean it off
There’s nothing left but what you wrought
Deep inside you know the cost
Another day another life was lost

When your time has come and gone
You lived your life like nothing’s wrong 
Like the moonlight haunts the sun
These are all the ghosts you will become


All your plans have up and crashed
Each grain of sand beyond your grasp
Upon the ashes of eras past
Your shadow cast it will not last
From dust to dust to dirt to grass
Year to year they pile up fast


Turpentine won’t clean it off
There’s nothing left but what you wrought
Deep inside you know the cost
Another day another life was lost

When your time has come and gone
You lived your life like nothing’s wrong 
Like the moonlight haunts the sun
These are all the ghosts you will become

When your time has come and gone
You lived your life like nothing's wrong
Like the moonlight haunts the sun
These are the ghosts you will become 

All the Ghosts You Will Become

Hearing you breathe 
Again and again 
Your lips on my teeth 
We are sinking in 
The blood underneath 
This porcelain grin 
You are all that I need 
My favorite sin

I pull away 
But you curl inside of me 
Through night and day 
You stir up the dark in me 
Come what may 
This ache is rightfully 
Where I lay 
With you sighing quietly

Paranoid 
Because I know what’s out there 
Fill the void 
Run your hands in my hair 
I’m destroyed 
With you just gasping right there 
Your voice alloyed 
Hunger feeding despair

Terribly
I know that I want you
Part of me
You know that you want to
Solemnly
Sweetly bearing sharp tooth
Impossibly
Being that combines two

Bruised and bound
You trace what’s left of me
Without a sound
You drink the breath from me
I’m spellbound
This little death of me
Turn around
And take the rest of me

Spellbound

I remember it well
They told us the sun would rise, but I saw it fall
A flash, a roar
That light broke the silent night and left nothing in its wake
Everything I had loved turned to dust


The fall carries songs
On a dead bird’s wing
To avert tragedy
Like a spider’s string

If it were all up to me
We would laugh and sing
Look back on the past
And the beautiful things

Look back at the collapse
Where it all begins
Perhaps we were trapped
From the start of things

It’s thoughts like that 
That get you killed
Take you out back
Till silence fills


In a sky so black
With the stars alight
It won’t change the fact

The sun shines tonight

There’s no turning back
The flames burning bright
With a sudden crack

The sun shines tonight

Your eyes turned to ash
You can’t take the light
The end is coming fast

The sun shines tonight

Goodbye to what we had
Goodbye to the new life
Caught up in the blast

The sun shines tonight

The Sun Shines Tonight


Sick
Why you you always talking to me
Wanna do me
Hit me slay it

Theres an awful lot of truth
I got the proof
I’m gonna say it

You told me 
To count out my words
I’m only folding
And doling out adverbs

This scene again will play tomorrow
The same again will play today
And if you got some sugar to borrow
I can be your honeybee


Seasons
Over and end again
You can’t comprehend

The reason
Why you’re the only one left
There is no more rest

This feeling
Pushing behind your eyes
Pay heed to the wise

My meaning
A twisted hypothesis
Why I don’t exist


Relax
It’s just a modern tactic
Just to light the matchstick
To pretend like I don’t exist

I’m back is just another outfit
To find out about this
Other end of your fucking list

How we bout we take this forward
How bout we push it back
It’s danger we’re going toward
And I got no fucking slack


It’s treason
Enemy behind the lines
There is no disguise

Believing
All your fucking lies
And crocodile cries

I’m reeling
I’m stoned out of mind
I’m going blind

My demons
Hope I fucking die
Fucking try

Honeybee

I am the lover beneath your sheets
I am the hunter
I am the meat

I am the thunder
I am the storm
I am the only
I am the swarm

I am the holy
I am forsaken
I am the last breath to be taken

I am here to remind you that
I am the fear that finds you

I am the thing beneath your bed
I am the ringing in your head

I am the last thing that you’ll see
I am no one else but me

No One Else But Me

Silence
Is all I know
Can’t hear your screams
Can’t feel the flow

Violence
Is all that’s left
No sense of peace
No place to rest

If once was lost cannot be found
I think I’ll fly into the ground

Icarus had the right idea
Get on up
Get out of here


This is not how I see myself
I need a break
I need some help

Tell me something, lie to me
I cannot rest
I cannot breathe

If you would ask the question why
It all comes clear
The day I die

Maybe then I will be heard
My words will sit
In solemn verse


I can’t stop the things that I feel and
I cannot stop the pain
I’ve left my hands up off the wheel and
Left it all to fate
At times I think I see the end
Sometimes I think I’m wrong
To see what waits around the bend
I’ve been here way too long

Truth is I’ve stretched too far
I’ll take my shot, I’ll crash my car

This is what you deserve
A life unfit, a lesson learned


This is not how I see myself
I need a break
I need some help

Tell me something, lie to me
I cannot rest
I cannot breathe

If you would ask the question why
It all comes clear
The day I die

Maybe then I will be heard
My words will sit
In solemn verse

This is not how I see myself
I need a break
I need some help

Tell me something, lie to me
I cannot rest
I cannot breathe

If you would ask the question why
It all comes clear
The day I die

Maybe then I will be heard
My words will sit
In solemn verse

How I See Myself

Take what you want from this everlasting
My lungs are collapsing, my brain is dead
If I can’t remember just what is happening
The cold of December will calm my head

The same old story over and over
The same old words will write this song
If I can’t escape that I’m getting older
I cannot right what all went wrong

Know
That each day
I live with this
I’m under constant strain
I hope
That you’ll say
I need this and
Everything is OK

Sing it again the sound is deafening
Your beautiful voice could raise the dead
If I can pretend this world isn’t ending
I’ll try to hold on to what you said

Given the choice I’ll take the memory
Given a voice I’ll sing along
If I can hold on to the things that you said to me
I’ll show you where I buried my soul

No
I can’t stay
If we can’t move forward
We’ll find another way
I hold
For decay
One last kiss
And I’ll be on my way

Static I wait for something to move me
In panic I move so I don’t collapse
Only the truth could be so soothing
Is that too much to fucking ask

Terribly you seem so charming
Terribly this was all for nought
Your silence now can be so alarming
Is that all that’s left is that all we’ve got

How does feel to be part of the plan
How does it feel to not know why
In life we regret the things that happen
In death we do nothing but fucking die

The same old story over and over
The same old words will write this song
How do we know that this is the ending
Time will reveal it when we’re gone

Everlasting

Hearing you true to me
Part of me
New to me
Happily carrying
My heart as your jewelry

It’s up to me to be
All that you need of me
Soulfully being the
Melody to your beat

My music speaks louder than words
Your beauty speaks and I’ve heard
Strokes like paintings that I’ll learn
I am sitting waiting for my turn

Emotions blazing
Sun that burns
My pulse is racing
Body yearns

I am hoping praying
Holding firm
I am fully staying
I am hers

The beat drums like the beat in my chest
She’s more than enough, never second best
She’s like a drug and I confess
She’s got me hooked on every breath

We stay up till the sun goes down
We get lost in the midnight sound
And I
Feel so alive

We stay up till the sun goes down
We get lost in the midnight sound
And I
Feel so alive

In my head like every day
I want her in my bed in every way
The texts she sends, like reading, read
I wanna see her spread like butter to bread

No, stop, I’m getting hot
The bass knocks when I’m on the block
Loving is what I got
It’s something that’ll never stop

We stay up till the sun goes down
It’s all love when I’m in her town
With each word I’mma shake the ground and
With each verse I’mma caress her down

We stay up till the sun goes down
We get lost in the midnight sound
And I
Feel so alive

We stay up till the sun goes down
We get lost in the midnight sound
And I
Feel so alive

Till the Sun Goes Down

Pieces and parts
You start to see through me
You see to the true me
The old and the new me

It suddenly starts
What I choose to be
One that can really be
All that I want to be

Inside of my heart
I am sworn to this duty
Where I can be truly
Myself newly

Ripped apart
By the people who use me
It’s either you choose me
Or fucking lose me

This
Isn’t
The way 
To keep me by your side

I’m
Losing
Faith
In this broken ride

So start
Hearing
Me
And all of my cries

It 
Burns
Each day
Like the sun in the sky

Lie to me
But hear my truth

Bitter days
Serve as proof that

I’m going away
Away from you

It’s what I say
And what I’ll do

Fractured and scarred
You reach to the part of me
Get right to the heart of me
Bring out the dark in me

I live in the dark and
My eyes atrophy
I can no longer see
All that you do to me

Lower my guard and
Let you caress me
Strip and undress me
Bring out the best in me

Wounds and marks
Scars that define me
Serve to remind me
Just how you find me

Lie to me
But hear my truth

Bitter days
Serve as proof that

I’m going away
Away from you

It’s what I say
And what I’ll do

What I'll Do

Frozen
Afraid
These words that are passing through my teeth
Won’t bring back those days

They’re stolen
Away
The crown I wear upon my head
Weighs more and more each day

Where were you when it happened inside of me
Did you even care
To turn away from the things I try to be
With your electric stare

To tell the truth it never bothered me
How you could be so cold
I lost my youth, I’m wasting energy
Left inside my soul


I’m open
Awake
Shake off the rest that holds me back
And think of yesterday

Transparent
Opaque
I can’t see through your wall of lies
Or listen what they say

Do you remember what you once said
Do you remember the time
This emptiness it feels so dead
Like the pain behind my eyes

I’m frozen
Afraid
These words that are passing through my teeth
Won’t bring back those days


Written in vain
The letters you wrote that were all sent back
Never go away

Tell me it’s OK
This isn’t how the story ends
This isn’t how it plays

There’s nothing to say
Maybe if I turned my back
We both could walk away

To something someday
I don’t know just how to act
Or how to communicate
