Unnatural 02:16
Empty all the contents Confess, clear your conscience No catches No broken fingers Nothings out of hand To hold on to Put a hole in your butterfly net No catches Blood fed butterflies A trick of the eye Going where you flow Uphill, can’t be unnatural Can’t be unnatural Cause here we are Empty all the contents Inward you scavenge what was slain What remains, without decay Confess, clear your conscience No catches The desires multiply faster Here we are Here we are No broken fingers Nothings out of hand To hold on to Blood fed butterflies A trick of the eye Going where you flow Uphill, can’t be unnatural Can’t be unnatural Cause here we are

To hear the words in a voice not your own To the see the fears dance in the throes Nothing goes unnoticed Stay on your toes Ghostly and hollow Controlled by vices, the echoes The tying of yourself in knots inside Fighting amongst the senses Twitching with tension Severed ears, no one else hears Just for my ears They only want you for one thing Made my voice foreign Make yourself up, make it beautiful Unclench your teeth The hands from over your ears The hands tearing at you Picking at your skin, like birds to roadkill The voice like a light beam Walking around without my skin Mingling I feel everything But can’t name or label the missing To hear the words in a voice not your own To the see the fears dance in the throes Nothing goes unnoticed Stay on your toes

Conspired 02:29
Mirror talk Asking for the voice that isn’t strangled The one that doesn’t crack Holding back, holding back The mystery tears The one way down in the back Caught off guard by the creeping emotion Cause I can’t lie to myself It hurts, like hell They’ll take you for all that you’ve got So, I put it out of my head Blessed with fear The gods and the devils conspired Taste and touch just right The balance of the light This is just right for me You are alright with me Mirror talk telling reflections The blow before the roll of the dice Seeing all you can’t see Asking for the voice that isn’t strangled The one that doesn’t crack Holding back, holding back The mystery tears The one way down in the back Blessed with fear The gods and the devils conspired Taste and touch just right The balance of the light This is just right for me

See(k)r 02:12
I’ve got a problem I need to hear it in your words not mine I can’t look myself in the eyes If I solve yours, I’ll solve mine Because mine I keeps escaping Starring off into space Healing time So vicarious So precarious I need to see it from outside Here is where the problem hides Under your nose, under your clothes The same roof Too close for comfort The ins and outs are sticky It never started none to be So, it never stops I’ve got a problem I used to want out I need to hear it in your words not mine I can’t look myself in the eyes If I solve yours, I’ll solve mine I used to want out But I keep escaping to new places So, it never stops

Hyde 03:07
Come to terms Find the words A needle in a haystack I walked right into the knife To the slaughter The fallen surround me It’s written on me The wound’s blinking back Black glass, my blood Driven to hyde, hyde Creeping in the night Slowly, slowly Floor don’t creak where I reside Don’t, don’t Be caught even in the streaks of moonlight I whisper to the house You give me up tonight Don’t you give me up tonight Alarm the wind, or set fires Leave me black in your wake The energies fight At odds with my temples Like fireworks Doctor, doctor please, please No nevermind Jekyll, my, my mind Dark inside, so dark outside Find the light Driven to hyde, hyde Creeping in the night Slowly, slowly Floor don’t creak where I reside Don’t, don’t Be caught even in the streaks of moonlight I whisper to the house You give me up tonight Don’t you give me up tonight

Big plans tonight Time to make you and leave you behind We dine in on sorrows and binds Like the plants, flowers, and leaves Hung to dry from the ceiling Crying in reverse You put this storm in me That now rains from my eyes That pains me so to point of crying White noise rings in my ears Questioning my life Hunt me down to make me bleed Tearing me apart from the inside out with my weaknesses No time to think twice My fingers, fire and ice You put this storm in me Where’s the responsibility Shaking me Crying in reverse You put this storm in me That rages in the cages and the caves of me Sunk me to wet cement So, we can’t forget So, we won’t forget When the sky is empty

Nightfall 03:43
Take the weather Answer my calls I can’t fight it off So, I let it fall Close my eyes for the embrace of the dark Force of the hit with the hurt that took me down The weight of the walls cracking Brace for the fall Curling in to bury me, standing tall Avalanche with no mark Down with bravado Bottled up Until I choke on my thoughts Like the smoke the feeling Pretend its nightfall No one can hear me cry Saving face but I’m dying inside, I’m dying inside Blink twice to clear the redness and tear from my eyes This is the last time, I said last time I can’t fight it off So, I let it fall The rain is piercing sharp Close my eyes for the embrace of the dark The wind is lashing Force of the hit with the hurt that took me down The weight of the walls cracking, cracking Just keep your eyes closed Brace for the fall Curling in to bury me, standing tall Avalanche with no mark Down with bravado Bottled up Until I choke on my thoughts Like the smoke the feeling Pretend its nightfall No one can hear me cry, care or wonder why Saving face but I’m dying inside, I’m dying inside

Prisoner 03:34
Before without feeling Now with a newfound meaning The grip of the feeling something dead weight The sight of a dream so disheartening Please tell me I’m dreaming This déjà vu I felt before Tender, tender numb to the pain Now sore Forgive me seeming without feeling I swore I saw it in a dream It just came to me I can’t hold it my prisoner It was meant to be free It never belonged to me really, really Just a passing thing Before without feeling Stamp out this love for the captor Now with a newfound meaning The grip of the feeling something dead weight The sight of a dream so disheartening Prisoner I can’t keep you Please tell me I’m dreaming This déjà vu I felt before Tender, tender numb to the pain Now sore Forgive me seeming without feeling If I have to ask, it’s probably true I swore I saw it in dream Tell me what this means Somethings hunting me The things I seek Hunger with fasting feeling

Talisarm 02:23
Straight to it Fishing through the room Swimming through the mood Pull me through No small talk I try to capture your eye Full time But I’m tired of trying, so hard I’m tired of the guilt And shame I feel for feeling as I do As I do for existing, just being in the room When there are cliffs to jump And rivers to drown myself in never to be seen again I’m drawn To meet the grim that makes my end It’s been too long if I’m with you You’re not real if I’m not with you And that’s how you make me feel Back to things that hold as much of me as I do as them Things come together under my hands A charm, a spell, pulling me through When there are cliffs to jump And rivers to drown myself in never to be seen again I’m drawn To meet the grim that makes my end It’s been too long
