Brave headstrong blood brother
Don your shield, your armor
Time his child, the hour
Sweet machine and lover
Broken heart one summer
Left to stumble, wander

I heard you screaming from the other room
I bet our mother told you never to
Then you'll find out, then you'll find out what you're made of
Leftover anger from the other night
Think of a reason why it feels right
Then you'll try out, then you'll try out new emotions

You will crawl to the rug underneath
With your sins to hide from a so-called "elite"
Brother hold your tongue
They know just what it means to love

I heard you screaming from the other room
I bet our mother told you never to
Then you'll find out, then you'll find out what you're made of
Leftover anger from the other night
Think of a reason why it feels right
Then you'll try out, then you'll try out new emotions

Slow down, gather yourself
Feel the wind in your lungs
But now I'm too afraid of being a letdown
I'm always so afraid of being a letdown

Blood Brother

This line is metaphysical
And on the one side, and on the one side
The bad half live in wickedness
And on the other side, and on the other side
The good half live in arrogance
And there's a steep slope, with a short rope
This line is metaphysical
And there's a steady flow, moving to and fro

Oh look you earned your wings
Are you an angel now, or a vulture?
Constantly hovering over
Waiting for a big mistake
Oh my God, what have I done?

Wouldn't you love to be
On the cover of a magazine?
Healthy skin and perfect teeth
Designed to hide what lies beneath

And I feel the darkness growing stronger
As you cram light down my throat
And how does that work out for you
In your holy quest to be above reproach?

Wouldn't you love to be
On the cover of a magazine?
Healthy skin and perfect teeth
Designed to hide what lies beneath
What lies beneath

Shiragiku

I see your eyes, the fire that burns
The mirror pointed straight at me that brings my shadow out
Trying to hide all the rage from in my poise
Verescently the other side, afraid of this feeling you're leaving mine

Frightened of the need to cut my losses
The sinking feeling we will carry on and only survive
While the pacing back and forth absolves your options
The tragedy is we will carry on and only survive

The blood I spilled to bite my tongue
I wish this blood would drench your hands then I...then would I feel right inside?

Has this weight upon my back been always hollow?
Would my warning shots precede returning fire?
I'm too afraid to ever know
Strike your anvil, drain your pen, complete your project
By your side and idly by I'll stay, smiling through misty eyes

Frightened of the need to cut my losses
The sinking feeling we will carry on and only survive
While the pacing back and forth absolves your options
The tragedy is we will carry on and only survive

Hollow Weight

I stopped myself, I caught my breath
To feel the breeze flow through me
But nothing came, descend my wreck
The hands of time will choke you out
That something cold, unmoving
You know it too, it all too well

But I'll find my stride, do something right
And the weight of the world will lift off my spine
Lead the model life I know that I can lead

Some days don't turn out like you want to and go on forever

I stopped myself, I caught my breath
To feel the breeze flow through me
But nothing came, descend my wreck

But I'll find my stride, do something right
And the weight of the world will lift off my spine
Lead the model life I know that I can lead

Some days don't turn out like you want to and go on forever

Oft Awry

Curtain call, lights and stage reveal the wreckage 
Every crystal ball just reveals a different message 
To those blinded by their pride 
Battle cries, hear the baitzuos from a distance 
As they're marching by, get in line for your attrition 
But don't let them see your side  

You'll be struck down, you will be rejected 
You'll be told "son get up and soldier on" 
Brother instead, commandeer the wreckage 
Get on your feet and then swear you're right  

Fall in line, stare into the light that blinds you 
Force them at your side, 'till they're blinded right behind you 
So the cycle remains alive 
Silhouettes casting shadows on the border 
Spinning pirouettes, every turn another corner 
Are you blinded by your pride?  

You'll be struck down, you will be rejected 
You'll be told "son get up and soldier on" Brother instead, commandeer the wreckage Get on your feet and then swear you're right  

You'll be struck down, you will be rejected 
You'll be told "son get up and soldier on" 
Brother instead, commandeer the wreckage 
Get on your feet and then swear you're right

March of the Baitzous

Exile, my rite of passage
My skeletons have left me for dead
I am an exile, I'm a pariah
I'm the remains of a never good man

What I've done and all I've created
Will be gone, while treasured my works
I know my flaws are worthy convictions
To seal my fate, they've come for my head
They've come for the debt

Sovereign sense of desire
My riches are built from arrears
My time is coming, my guilt is rising
I am surrounded and drowned by the fear

What I've done and all I've created
Will be gone, while treasured my works
I know my flaws are worthy convictions
To seal my fate, they've come for my head

So summon your God to secure my damnation
And send me down, I know what I am
A pariah and clod of worthless pretension
Revered by none, they've come for my head
They've come for the debt

You search for darkness but in the light
You fight with worlds in a play from a stage
You're no God

So summon your God to secure my damnation
And send me down, I know what I am
A pariah and clod of worthless pretension
Revered by none, who come for my head
My head
