Life is a book And the Author is unknown I envision that he lives in A cabin on a mountain all alone And he constantly paces back and forth Mustering up new ways To knock life off its course And the days that he feels pain We feel it too The days he is enraged We start a war without a clue Of our motive Bodies turning blue No commotion And he wonders why Along side me and you Or maybe that's just my excuse For when I'm feeling down My eccentric myth of reason why your not around My prescription To sleep safe and sound My religion of this "cat and mouse" Or maybe it's the guilt That godforsaken guilt I get When I lay down my head to rest I can't clear my head

Father Dog 04:33
Where have you been Underneath this skin Don't think I haven't heard The words in your whispers I am aware of your constant care And even if I tried To surpass your spell The Judge can not be fooled The Judge can always tell As his speech starts to swell Fade in Fade out My precious little bird Can't you see what's happening? Fade in Fade out My precious little bird Can't you see what's happening? Where have you been? Through thickened skin You come in And start to carve your mark into My hardened soul Claiming what you've always claimed your own I'm your own And when our worlds collide It isn't you I fear It's the passing of Our conflicting atmospheres Fade in Fade out My precious little bird Can't you see what's happening? Fade in Fade out My precious little bird Can't you see what's happening? Where have you been Underneath this skin Where have you been? Through thickened skin You come in And start to carve your mark into My hardened soul Claiming what you've always claimed your own I'm your own I alone Am your own Hail the reaper Kill the creature

You walked in with a smile on your face That made my heart explode Fractions of cardiac dust Filled my chest And caused my lungs to corrode I didn't know how long I had Until you were forced to go But for now This castle's burning And I won't dare put out its glow Cause when you kill the flame The smoke signals the enemy Come down You're way too high now Come down You're way too high now Shake, shake We were thrown Way off our course Wake, Awake We're all sleeping through the universe You and I Were just alike Like matching canvases Of white Never complete Never dry Always bare And always bright But when the colors start to mix The painters hand can't get a grip Come down You're way too high now Come down You're way too high now When she speaks Her words are wise She wears dignity With pride As she laughs Without fear of the future Ambition peaks Wisdom is weak specks of suspicion Spewed all over canvases Hanging up proudly With meek mindless meaning Drowning eyes bleeding Awaiting to see the Corridor calling Viciously crawling Fluid drenched floors Drag me through my last thought I can't reach the end I can't reach the end to descend As I sit and watch the world Spin on it's tilt I realize I am not the only one Standing crooked here with guilt The planet's decrepit our young minds are deceptive And we keep remarking On it's faults You're out of your mind You're out of your mind little one If it's true That dust is what makes us Then what of us Could we give To make each other breath The way we did With confidence We could wait a century Until we are forced to go But for now This castle's burning And I won't dare put out its glow We'll keep it burning

Don't be set off Until you know You might have been fully submerged in A sea of tonic Don't jump across Just yet Until you've seen the other side You might risk falling Falling down Everyone chases their shadow Running away from the sun But I've already been swallowed Long before daylight begun Parasites Fill me with depravity I can't escape I cannot escape Blood's rushing to my head Flood's crushing me in bed Winds are pushing me from shore Lucid dreaming nevermore Just take your time Your precious, precious time here Open your mind Open your mind You're in your prime dear Don't be set off Until you know The waves have come to take us Back to the place that makes us whole Until the tides take us back home Don't jump across Just yet Until the blackout swallows Until the tides take us back home again Everyone chases their shadow Running away from the sun Parasites Fill me with depravity I can't escape their endless trance on my tangled mentality But I have already been swallowed Long before daylight begun Parasites Fill me with depravity I can't escape I cannot escape

Standing in rows Striking elegant poses Is this what you wanted? Is this what we came here for? Humiliation... Human eradication? Discharge concentration Begin circulation I would rather be alone for this Cast me quietly Into his hell-fire Begin circulation Is this what you wanted? Is this what we came here for? To begin circulation What more do you want? I've done all you've asked of me I hear a voice calling Out my name I'll take a stand Strangle my violent youth Struggle to talk to you Spirit speak to me So many mind sets caged up Yet this illness still interrupts us Can we be freed from this tedious Questioning? Now the royalty Have all been cast down But they belong there anyhow The poor is absolved along with the weak I am the last one Who will speak Patiently waiting Anticipating the verdict As we are Standing in rows Striking innocent poses Is this what you wanted? Is this what we came here for?

Wholesome 04:38
Your words could be lethal They should be illegal Like addicts with needles I need my fixation Your touch is so perfect Your kiss always worth it Now I've made them worthless With my inclinations when I finally wake up From this mess I'm in I hope you still speak those words Without a stutter in your speech Without a doubt of what you see in me You've finally found Some stable ground Around my feet to walk on Because now I know Your silent tip toe-ing Around me No it won't cut it Cause your not my puppet You've helped me Kill japedo Now we can rise above it Or so I thought Cause every time I get to thinking My head nearly falls off I just need your sweet, unending love time and time again That you have given me A thousand time before Her touch is so perfect Her kiss always worth it I'm going through withdrawal Like an addict with his needle I need my fixation I don't need a bucket to finish this list Cause what my heart desires Would take place in a few years We'd coexist with our God as our captain I hope I haven't sink this ship With what has happened As strong as I'm being with God in control I still hate this feeling I'm hollow so hollow It doesn't matter what's after This stories modern chapter I'll still miss your smile I'll still miss your laughter Somedays are so hard to wake up in the morning Staring at the wall While I'm feeling numb So to take the edge off I'll down a bottle of Bible Get drunk off the word and learn Holy survival Tell me can fix what I've cruelly destroyed

Tell me exactly the times when I Fought to keep myself Balancing theories of constant composure now With the urge of self reliance I've finally found my purpose This is not plagiarism It's just my reminder to you That I have not forgotten our vision Or what we went through Cooped up in past events I never hear the end of it I hope the end comes soon I never want the end to come These themes are bringing up The closure Your next move is giving up While I'm still waiting for my wake up call I'm still waiting (Waiting for my wake up call) I'm still waiting Please wake me up I've seen the words At the tip of your lips Crawling back down your throat And sinking into your ribs It starts at conversation And ends at God knows where Not knowing What the hell I saw in you For hell is all I saw in you Our futures I must keep you in rhythm For my own benefit You've only brought destruction Now I only see your perfection While I'm still waiting for my wake up call I'm still waiting (Waiting for my wake up call) I'm still waiting Please wake me up I need my closure Rose you haven't made up your mind at all

Frozen 04:07
I know How you spend your time Craving the possessions of others You teach them Your new idea of faith Then pull the rug Right from under their bleeding feet Oh what a shame you are Are the gates if heaven closed For the ones who never knew? Not innocent like infants Never knowing what to do because We're all just frozen in time Knowing that we must choose We are all just frozen I know where you go to hide When your a disappointment to your brothers Preach to them all the things you hate Every word that you speak Is just a lie pushed through those teeth Are the gates if heaven closed For the ones who never knew? Not innocent like infants Never knowing what to do because We're all just frozen in this time capsule of memories The directory of "things unseen" is the priority to eternity Pull the thread and it unravels Coil it up and it will fade away Watch the smoke form into heart shapes Thought that you made such a great choice But you just made such great mistakes Now all your truest love feels fake You've clogged your hearts intake You've slept with another one Now just shut up and bite your tongue Are the gates of heaven closed For the ones who never knew? They might look just like you But they do not know of what they do

Twin Flames 04:58
The essence grew It crippled me Wrapping my mind around The thought of Wrapping my arms around the air So tight I couldn't breath Where is my hollow body? Is it for me to find? Or will the carcass drag It's empty way Back to me Persistently The soul half empty Body half full A half life predestined Seeking for it's full control The soul half empty Body half full A twisted half life Seeking for it's full control I hear your hollowness Creating sounds with awful winds Is this my calling? Is this my calling? The soul half empty Body half full A half life predestined Seeking for it's full control The soul half empty Body half full A twisted half life Seeking for it's full control Like the warmth of the sun In the winter Burning away lost hope Like the warmth of the sun New life has begun Melting through the skin To fill the insides The soul half empty Body half full A twisted half life Seeking for it's full control

Luna 03:03
I'm sure if you were standing here right now We would agree That love did not uphold this house Nor did you or me I sense a change in Temperature right now It's quickly dropping reminds me of the way you felt Burning body heat Shaky hands always Crawling for you Desperate voice calling For you I'm sure if you were standing here right now You would not believe That all of our time is up And your not shedding another ounce of mercy Once one Now shaven into pieces Can we pick them up And make them fit where they don't belong But how can I piece Them together with these Shaky hands always Crawling for you Desperate voice calling For you
