Run from the light.
Hide when the truths are laid bare
Reach for safety, wrap it’s cloak around you
I know ones who plunge the knife but won’t take a look
Light the match but won’t burn
Obvious you’ve not the nerve
Have you heard? Mirrors won’t lie
Don’t disguise words the decaying hollow at your core
Fiend for murder
Sins stacked upon you
Have you heard? Mirrors won’t lie
Show them your claws
Why wait for permission to blot out the line?
We know what you are
Why wait to give over to what comes at night?
The wolf longs to break free
Can you feel it take hold?
Left a trail of corpses to remind you of the sickness
Take it as a blessing or the guilt will start to eat ya
Didn’t think they’d come to need you, devils tremble in your wake Bloodshed will come
Moonlight on your back your teeth show
Hunt the unsuspecting prey
Bloodshed will come
Left a trail of corpses to remind you of the sickness
Take it as a blessing or the guilt will start to eat you

Your Weight in Gold

Their grins and flags are waving to drown the distress out
mask I wear conceals someone who stands on the backs of those
trading hearts for counterfeit coins
You know the difference between us
I take what’s given while you watch.
I blur the lines
Deceiving all afraid to stand on their own.
Feed off crippling weakness.
You know the difference between us.
I take what’s given while you...
Formed from different strains. We don’t bleed the same
I have come to warn you
Callous games we play.
Remorse never owns you
Draw your sword in vain.
Murder. In your back. Murder. Carved in slow, Murder. Left a note.
Don’t resent the wrongs
Collect the favors, outdoing all the others.
Corrupt thy neighbor.
Don’t resent, learn to face it
My bed I made alone, sagacious rouse
The only crime I know would be to lose
Hide beneath the wool. Sharpening the claws.
The blood I spill will not quell or subdue all that is set to come
what’s meant to bloom
Hide beneath the wool
Sharpening the claws.
Hide beneath the wool
Got my weight in gold
No use for a soul
Got my weight in gold
My weight in gold.

Cut like a knife through a sweet tongue
You might take to the sound
A scream so loud
Who knows you better?
Force, drive desires left unsung
Breathe life
Do it for the blood. Do it for the flesh. Don't believe in love. Only in regret.
You are not the stranger
so come inside beneath the lights
Perilous behavior, follow you down without a fight
You are not the stranger
Two signals crossing in the dark.
So safe. In torment, we are safe
There's no need to stay, a ghost to linger
You're just a throwaway between my fingers
Do it for the blood. Do it for the flesh.
Wouldn't be the first to say
What made your heart so unmoved?
But I'm the only one to blame - made up the rules.
So I suggest we learn to play a better part than most fools
It's not worth the fight once the sun comes up.
Too late to ignite what's already burned.
Just give me what I want before you get hurt
It's not worth the fight once the sun comes up.
Too late to ignite what's already burned.

So now it's come to this
The hanging by a thread somehow.
I make my way down.
It's not easy to admit.
But my hand did twist the doorknob
when demons came ‘round.
Like lovers tangled and bound.
They lead me on and on.
Splinter burn out. Found faith underground.
Wither cast out.
I know anguish, I do.
I've got cinder blocks for ankles
I've blackish carbon where a heart should go
Splinter burn out. Found faith underground.
Wither cast out.
I know anguish, I do.
I'm the crowbar I'm the shovel.
Digging myself in I crumble below,
Like a pet caught in a chokehold
Well I've been at fault, predestined to hell
Burdened all along, at least I'm honest
And I greet with open arms all that flames reveal
Showing that no one can keep a promise
Choking on the smoke I care to force a smile
You know it's always better if you pretend to look alive.
Cuz we're all in on the joke that we're constantly just sinking
Better not look deep inside never let them catch you slipping
Choking on the smoke I care to force a smile
Hatred in disguise Twisting up my mind.
Fail to compromise, blind leading the blind.
I sink, I sink down.
Hatred in disguise
Twisting up my mind.
I cannot seem to make an attempt at all
Word lose their meaning, I start to bend and fall
I cannot seem to distinguish right from wrong
My knees have weakened and they're bleeding
It won't let go
I've got a choice but I can't see it
It won't let go
Will I survive if I don't feed it?

The conversation’s dead but I’m one to be a needle in the eye.
Cuz time and time again we waste the words
with an itchy finger on a loaded gun.
I’m not here to talk.
I’ve gotten beat from always hitting a brick wall
I’m gonna count to 10.
I’m gonna spin that chamber ‘round.
Won’t even have a chance to see what forced you to the ground
You know how good it gets when perspective stains your mouth.
I’m gonna count to 10.
See, I’ve got my shiny extra limb.
And I’m good at slinging to feel like a bigger man.
All loaded up and your body’s shaking.
Reconsider an amend.
Scapegoats by the dozen line the halls.
Each one with a story left to tell.
Panic as the empty casings fall.
Wondering what excuse you will sell.
You’ve got the lead, you’ve got the law.
All loaded up, I’ll load.
I’m gonna count to 10.
I’m gonna spin that chamber ‘round.
Paranoid. Which of us will draw last?
Paranoid. Who will be the one to stand?
Paranoid. Which of us will draw last?
I’m searching for reasons to loosen my grip.
When all I believe in makes you the target.
I’m searching for reasons. I loosen my grip.
When all I believe in, lies in this bullet.

There’s this body,not my own.
Prison-kept, I’ve been neglected and bound to what is known.
I want more.
Hunger for..
It’s deceiving,callous and cold. Mechanical, uncomfortable,
mephitic to the bone.
Limb by limb, abating.
Breathe on until it’s done.
It’s easy to forget when your back’s against the wall
Give in to compulsion,
when the lights go and there’s nowhere left to run
Never thought I’d be caught up in a world that’s helpless.
The skin I’m slowly becomes a killer on a rampage.
Never thought I’d be caught up in a world that's helpless.
Clawing at the mortal form. Shell that betrays my will.
Trade endemic for a cure
loss for resurrection.
I want more..I want to live again, as I am
Clawing at the mortal form. Shell that betrays my will.
Trade endemic for a cure
loss for resurrection.
I lay immobile, a still scarecrow.
I must have gotten to the end of all roads.
Tick tock and the drip it flows
Needle to vein, I’m the winding hand that bellows.
Why won’t you be the one? Remove the guest that calls me host.
Why won’t you be enough? Inch me closer to curtain call.
I beg for toxic rush. Fill me to the brim don’t you say a word.
Breathe on until it’s done.
It’s easy to forget when your back’s against the wall.
Give in to compulsion, when the lights go out and there’s nowhere left to run.
Never thought I’d be caught up in a world that’s helpless.

The sounds have kept you up tonight, the sirens on the street
They sing a song of treason and of capture
You lay awake,wondering if all is at it seems.
Demand not if you can’t stomach the answer
Nightmares come to meet you, grip so tight they smother.
Pray no one can see through,
throw a rock at your glass door
Not a tremble
Hide your heart beneath the armor.
Pull the muzzle from your mouth.
The convoy’s out to get you.
Hang onto delusive honor
Pull the muzzle from your mouth
The right side of a war
Silence the alarm
But I see we’re not like the others..
The undead, trying to find their way.
Hide your heart beneath the armor.
Pull the muzzle from your mouth.
Hang onto delusive honor,
The right side of a war Silence the alarm.
Your eyes gleam, vessels pulsating.
You have never known the taste of true living
You have never known
Beyond the wall you’re forced to face reality.
Awaken from the slumber and the sleepwalking
Abandon all the comforts of conditioning
Would you die to feel alive?
Think no further, caught before you’ve run
Trust no other, betrayal’s a gun
Pledge allegiance to the all-seeing one.
Surrender yourself to me and none else.
Think no further, loyalty is all.
Hide your heart and hide your thoughts from me
Remember who you are

Not gonna yield here anymore.
The hand that feeds me leaves a bitter tasting tongue.
I want to sever.
Untie my leash, switch up the roles.
You've got me under your thumb, better off not breathing.
False promises all smoke and mirrors.
Fill up your cup and drink at a seat worth stealing.
I want to sever the puppet strings that keep me inert
Can you begin to face the consequences?
When you deplete the ones you should regard
Will you repent before we send a message?
Dragging the chains to get you where we want
All the king's men will fall.
With the down stroke of a gavel
All the king's men, they fall
Line the lawless up
Not gonna play fair anymore
We've got a mind to feast on the hearts of traitors.
Death riding in on a pale horse
Offer the wide eyed heads on a silver platter.
Can you begin to face the consequences?
When you deplete the ones you should regard
All the kingsmen will fall.
Poison arrow through the torso
We've come for you.
On foot to storm the castle muddy and full of rage.
Fight for what we were promised with tooth and nail.
Not ones to be forgotten receiving end of pain.
A battle cry to the wind we will not fail.
We've come for you.
The cities burn, the children watch a future stolen,
greedy hands leave nothing in the jar.
Our crooked spines have given up under the weight of a system built to tear us all apart.
Renounce your fate.
They praise the blue, the red, the white.
But fail to notice blood stains as they pulled from left to right.
No longer shadows in the dark
the monsters learned to feed you.
Turning you from cohort to rival.
Renounce your fate.
I let the words crawl out my throat, but there's no one here to listen. There's bliss in doing as you're told, in kneeling.
No resistance.
Pretend no wolves are at the door,
it's much too hard to wake up when no one's really in control,
the script was always written.
Bury my head, like I've done. Can't tell what's real from fiction. Choose to deny that we are lost in who makes the bigger victim.
I'll stay inside,I'll lock my doors. Turn up the sound of the radio. Keep what's mine, take what's yours.
Won't cross the lines, this is war.
