1000 PLAGUES:
-i never said that i was perfect
 and if i were would you have stayed? (no)
*and when it's over another death awaits 
 1000 plagues
-do you think that i deserve this?
 removing every brick we laid
 i sit here in a house that's burning
 swallow the key
-face it. you pulled the plug. and turned your back on me.
 wasted; the time we spent. i kill the memory.
*and when it's over another death awaits.
 1000 plagues.
 stuck in this corner i'm lost without a way to compensate. 

1000 PLAGUES (MASTER)

OUIJA BOARD:
-all this waiting, anticipating you and all your scars
-but when the claws pull away
 what will be of your remains?
-was i supposed to flee and leave you here?
 was this a ploy to punish me or bleed the fear?
 how are we all supposed to know and read the sings?
 how many mountains do we climb how many times?
-all this waiting anticipating you and all your scars
 lost debating the gravity or truth between the stars
-headlong catastrophe, away you steer
 another trite abolishment; take the wheel

OUIJA BOARD (MASTER)

ALLEGIANCE:
-you sell your own philosophy
 paths we have never taken
 is this what friends are supposed to be?
 such walls can never cave in
-this oath, pledging to the grave
 unknown, spinning to the drain (give in to apathy)
*try and remember the way
 i swore i'd pray for you and slay for you
 sifting through the grey, we all slip between the grains
 skrying the embers to see
 the door i made for you and take for you
 watch it slip away, you just let it die today
 who's so loyal now? choke on the words
-you make no sacrifice for me
 speaking with many faces
 chasing your demons with the keys
 to all you darkest places
-let go and i will break your fall
 accept this role with virtue through it all (rejoin the human race)

ALLEGIANCE (MASTER)

NEEDLE AND THREAD:
Forgive yourself and know that you were wrong
And when I spoke the words they bathed in truth still
dripping from the bone
wounds you caused
and tumbling unfurled these pieces now of red string
you'll never say I played the pawn
but i know you'll justify the very sin you can't atone
now sewing up the frays
rules forgone and stripped of all their worth
hypocrisy impending on the dawn
cleaved and raw
and rubbing cuts with dirt
these stains will never wring clean
your needle breaks against my skin and thread is lost again


NEEDLE AND THREAD (MASTER)

pumpkins cover! complete and utter tribute to the legends.

ZERO

UNDERTOW:
*Another wave takes a toll
I'll never make it from the sea bak to the shore
Now forced to drink sink below
The water breaking
Oh how sweet the undertow

Waking
Choking 
Drowning
Up to the neck in blue
And still awaiting truth
Evading a rescue

I hear the sirens beckoning

Every tide is sure to take everything down to the leagues
Swimming urchins circling
They're ripping me apart from the seams
StilL the current dragging me
It's pulling me deeper beneath
Chained to the deep end

*

One must become shapeless
Faceless 
Nameless
Churning the wake before the other lakes run cold
Forcing the snakes ashore
Weakness leaves us
Until the streams are full
The river drains of old leaving thew stains and mold

UNDERTOW

FALSE IDOL:
Burned to the ground
Bury the bodies below now
I'm melting your crown
Tearing tyrannical drones down

Crucified
Another throne another nest of lies
You've sewn
You're so constantly
An undertow of undertone
And you know you're no hero

*Cause you lack the will to slay somebody like me
Not broken easily
The truth refused to speak
Embodiment weak
We'll leave you crumbling

Petrified
Alone again 
A load of moans and cries
You've crow'd
You've grown justified
In what you think you're doingRun and you know you don't denote…

FALSE IDOL

CHAPTERS:
The letters all sink through
Descending, dragging down the truth
Subscriptions are made to change all the rules

*An epitaph indeed 
We reap the chapters incomplete
We're beggin' you to say what you mean. What the f*ck you mean?
Say it now
And yet you bleed entertain. F*ck and entertain.
Bleeding out

Protest perversions of the purest principals
Object obstruction of obscurest obstacles

*
(On second glance we read
the print and the facts are all missing)
