GATES OF GUF - Lyrics:

Black seeds of death were born from the Adam cell
Children of Lilin pray “Don’t do this again”
The sea ran red and God opened his arms

The gates of Guf are open
The gates of Guf are open

Massacred the masses
The horrid angels birthed death so tragic
Now the world we rummage through is in ashes
A child covered in his mother's dust

From the first time I've felt it
I met a power so vile and disgusting
The grip of a monster on my neck
I gasped for air as my vision ran blurry

But then I
Felt it
Oh why God

These jaws they gored and tore the throats of angels

It screeched in pain
How dare I
Bloody this monster

I am alive a slave to nothing but the
Words in the minds
Of those around me and they
Make my fate
A living nightmare knowing I have no control

I am alive a slave to nothing but the
Words in the minds
Of those around me and they
Make my fate
A living nightmare knowing I have no control

Please no holy father don't
Make me crush this lifeless soul
Why can't I stop
I'm ripping out her spine
Father please stop, their flesh
I will not dine

No, please
Say this is all fake
No, please
What am I doing?
Father is this what you want
My soul is tainted
Heavens I won't make it

Lyrics:
Used to laugh and smile
Of what I dreamt about
What once was mine is gone
But time's surpassed

And I must move on
And I must move (on)

I've been waiting
I've been thinking
I'm not okay
The trouble is deafening

I've been trying
I've been breaking
I'm not okay
The trouble is killing me (killing me)

Lying on the floor
Collecting my thoughts
Alone in my room
Too scared to get up
Can't seem to recall
What even went wrong
So quick to give up
So steady to fall 

And I must move on
And I must move (on)

I've been waiting
I've been thinking
I'm not okay
The trouble is deafening

I've been trying
I've been breaking
I'm not okay
The trouble is killing me (killing me)

Speaking on all the regrets that we used have
These cloudy memories fill my head
And these walls are broken
Of fault vibrations, stuck inside
This viscous cycle
Time is vital
Life's unnatural
So take me home

I've been waiting
I've been thinking
I'm not okay
The trouble is deafening

I've been trying
I've been breaking
I'm not okay
The trouble is killing me (killing me)

Lyrics:
Did you expect I’d forget this? 
Are you that self absorbed to expect my forgiveness? 
While you’re far away from home
You’ve got this dog in your bed 
Playing coy like you didn’t do this 

I never knew you’d sink so low 
I didn’t even know you had 
The capacity to be this cold 
Now I’m a fucking mess
It’s probably fucking best
You get as far away from me as you can 

And when your dreams start to rust 
How will you justify ignorance?
How will you sell it then? 
You soulless fucking piece of shit 
When your love succumbs to lust
From an underlying lack of trust 
How will you spin it then?
You unfaithful fucking hypocrite 

You manipulate, you fucking contemplate
Threatening to leave again 
Maybe it’s just my fault 
For failing to see what was happening 
In front of me 

Talk about toxicity
You’ve got three fucking vultures 
That follow me religiously 
Hearing every word I say
Reading every word I write  
Starting fights, it’s absurd
And you know I’m right

And when your dreams start to rust
How will you justify your ignorance?
How will you sell it then? 
You soulless fucking piece of shit 
When your love succumbs to lust
From an underlying lack of trust 
How will you spin it then?
You unfaithful fucking hypocrite 

Not a fucking honest bone 
Now that you’ve been bought and sold
You’re just a ghost of a soul 
I once respected

Lyrics:

Oh!

I've written the same song
Fifteen thousand fucking times
Another girl thought I could trust
Another love lost turned to dust
After all we had discussed
You said you changed
You're so deranged 
To think you're not
One in the same

Dead inside
Parasite
Everything I'm saying now is long overdue

Dead inside
Parasite
There's not a single thing I don't
Hate about you

Oh!

The way you lured me in and I must admit 
Your disguise was convincing
Second to none
In the art of deceiving

Go smoke another bowl
Convince yourself that you're so cool
For what it's worth
You're such a whore

Dead inside
Parasite
Everything I'm saying now is long overdue

Dead inside
Parasite
There's not a single thing I don't
Hate about you

Did you really think
I'd let it get this far?

"Don't write songs about me"
Bitch, fuck you
Fuck you

Dead inside
Parasite
Everything I'm saying now is long overdue

Dead inside
Parasite
There's not a single thing I don't
Hate about

Dead inside
Parasite
There's not a single thing I don't
Hate about you

Lyrics:

Woke up
Sleeping on the floor
It's hard to wake up when no one 
Gives a fuck anymore

What's the point in fighting?
When I lost who I was fighting for?

Puke strewn across the floor
Don't wanna see your face anymore
It fucks with my head!
All the things that we did and said
Inside my bed
I never want to go home again!

Dreams they haunt me
You're all around me
Never seem to go away

I'm sick of all the
Games that you play
I'm over feeling this way
I'm over feeling this way

Lost in ecstasy
Numb but chemically
This dependency is killing me

No matter how hard I fight
All the sleepless nights
Lost inside my mind
Just to get me high
Gotta face it now
Or else I'm condemned to relive the same old fate
Over and over again!

Dreams they haunt me
You're all around me
Never seem to go away

I'm sick of all the
Games that you play
I'm over feeling this way
I'm over feeling this

Gonna find some hope
Gonna feel at peace
Gotta let go of all things harming me
Gonna love myself
Or else it's the end of me
And to my former self
You're dead to me
To my former self
You're dead to me
Dead to me
You're dead to me

Dreams they haunt me
You're all around me
Never seem to go away

I'm sick of all the
Games that you play
I'm over feeling this way
I'm over feeling this way

(Dead to me)
(You're dead to me)

Lyrics:
Why can't we leave
Our misery a memory? 
Your heart can't contain what's left of a tragedy
Disdain, integrating deep in your mind 
Malice overtaking making you blind 
Say that you let go, but to meet all this rage 
A tearing of heartache can't tear out a page 
For-longing contempt displayed on a stage 

I crossed your path
Came out just fine
I crossed your path
Came out just...

Failure to discard recollection of damage 
Bleeds to a past that can never be salvaged 
Ripping lacerations never bandaged 
Only feeds perception, a change you can't manage
Infatuation morphs into shackles 
That bind you
Disregard that the past is behind you
For the depths of our words are the weapons we yield
A poignant reminder of scars
Left unhealed
Despite all the rage
To spite all our pain
Dragging a dead corpse
In the name of fame
A form of release
A false sense of peace
Saying we let go
But cling to the casket 

If all of love was lost to hate
The more we die to separate
We write, we scream (Reanimate)
Only prolonging the decay
These words are razorblades
That only serve to hurt
Just a reminder
Of what we left behind 

(What we left behind)

The notes you left me
Were supposed to be comforting
All they did was lead me to 
An empty house
With desolate rooms
Broken picture frames
Handcuffs, leather, lace 
Better times left unsaid
Focus on the tears we shed 

If all of love was lost to hate
The more we die to separate
We write, we scream (Reanimate)
Only prolonging the decay
These words are razorblades
That only serve to hurt
Just a reminder
Of what we left behind 

What did we leave behind?
A love defined by sad goodbyes
Worriment and jealous eyes
Loneliness and sullen lies 

There's one thing I gotta fucking know
Before I cut off my tongue
And slit my throat 
Did we meet your rage? 

Did we meet your rage?

You steal what you don't own
Now that you've been bought and sold 
If honesty in art was fake
The more we lie we dissipate
We're every single fucking thing 
I love to hate

It Was Me, I Killed Her

Produced, Mixed and Mastered by Steven Kinsley (@virgilssoundden)

Happy

Gen X fucked us
Left us hopeless
We've been chosen
To fix a dying machine

Perpetuating violence
Commiserate in silence
Our generation riots
(Refrain with great disdain)

We've bought, they've sold
They prod, we poke
Wight lies, bespoke
(Bathe in brutality)

I thought that I 
Was supposed to be
Happy by now
Everyone tells me
I'm supposed to have
My whole life figured out

I thought that I 
Was supposed to be
Happy by now
Everyone tells me
I'm supposed to have
My whole life figured

Submission is expected
Bottom-line's projected
No reverence for life
(All hail the dollar sign)

Pandemic, systemic
Bigotry diseased
People breaking, segregating
I CAN'T FUCKING BREATHE

Love sick, hate fuck
More than, enough
Succumb, feel numb
(Anguish in misery)

I thought that I 
Was supposed to be
Happy by now
Everyone tells me
I'm supposed to have
My whole life figured out

I thought that I 
Was supposed to be
Happy by now
Everyone tells me
I'm supposed to have
My whole life figured

Figure it out
Figure it out
Figure it out
Figure it out
