All The Things 04:10

Talkin' bout the weather, inside this wretched place The room is filled with small talk chatter I wear my happy face Beside me sits an old one, coffee on his plate The room begins to spin around me I'm in my happy place There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide Since you took from me There's nothing to say, 'cuz you'll never find All the things that make the man in me Waitin' for a phone call, that puts me in my place In the hall a neighbor screamin', I can't just leave this place Lookin' out my window, a bottle fills your space Waitin' for the sun to shine again My heart you have disgraced There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide Since you took from me There's nothing to say, as you'll never find All the things that make the man in me Talk about the weather, inside this wretched place Waitin' for a phone call, that puts me in my place There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide Since you took from me I've nothing to say, 'cuz you'll never find All the things that make the man in me All the things that make the man in me All the things that make the man in me

Invicta 03:09
lyrics

Stop and look around this place, precious memories erased Sacred words have been replaced, redacted from a faded page in time This is not a place where weak men stand Not a time for feigning hearts Only truth remains, Invicta, Invicta, Invicta Catch your breath, disguise your face, exposing thoughts that you embrace Collected at a harvest pace, as falling angels are disgraced this time This is not a place where weak men stand Not a time for feigning hearts Only truth remains, Invicta

Flames kiss the sky, as the spire, of Our Lady burns Drown in the tears, of saints, who weep from above Mortals look on, as time, stands still in the night Sinners, cry for reprieve, as their heroes, are taking a knee Ashes, are filling the sky, as a chapel, is burning and burning, oh why Hell comes to town, on clipped wings, of a billion souls they Litter the ground, a-fire, as Our Lady moans A thorn from his crown, is saved, by the diligent few Sinners, cry for reprieve, as their heroes, are taking a knee Ashes, are filling the sky, as a chapel, is burning and burning and burning, oh why Sinners, cry for reprieve, as their heroes, are taking a knee Ashes, are filling the sky, as a chapel, is burning and burning, burning and burning Sinners, cry for reprieve, as their heroes, are taking a knee Ashes, are filling the sky, as a chapel, is burning and burning, burning and burning, oh why

Carnivore 03:18
lyrics

Bask in the light of all the things that you create The mirror never lies, accept your one true fate I am the impetus, for all you see and hear I am antithesis, don't feed the carnivore Last in the line free from the strain you will escape The conscience never lies, all truth we must pre-date I am the impetus, for all you see and hear I am antithesis, don’t feed the carnivore I am the impetus, for all you see and hear I am antithesis, Don't feed the carnivore Subtle yet true to form like Judas you debate The time to sever ties, admitting your mistake I am the impetus, for all you see and hear I am antithesis, Don't feed the carnivore I am the impetus I am antith-e-sis Don't feed the carni-vore

The Passing 04:20
lyrics

As you are, and all you'll ever be Feeds the fire, that burns inside of me Spin your web, as reason for your cause Draw me in, relentless without pause And when you pass through that door Don't mention I was here Strange is the world, when you're ruled By other peoples fear Dance a-top, your silky woven thread Motionless, you wait for my caress Fingertips entwine, in syncopated rhyme Sow the seed, perpetuate your line And when you pass through that door Don't mention I was here Strange is the world, when you're ruled By other peoples fear Break the chain, you turn to my dismay No escape, you devour my remains And when you pass through that door Don't mention I was here Strange is the world, when you're ruled By other people And when you pass through that door Don't mention I was here Strange is the world, when you're ruled By other peoples fear

I'm stuck in this room It's been 7 days since I saw your lovely face She called me again She just can't be friends since the day you took her place I'm too tired to fight about things But I'm too proud to go I can't hold these feelings inside I just want you to know She isn't you She isn't you She isn't you I'm Stuck in this room It's been 18 days since I saw your lovely face She showed up again She made a big scene at my door at 2 AM I'm too tired to fight about things But I'm too proud to go I can't hold these feelings inside I just want you to know She isn't you She isn't you She isn't you I'm too tired to fight about things But I'm too proud to go I can't hold these feelings inside I just want you to know She isn't you She isn't you -oo- oo She isn't you She isn't you oo-oo She isn't you She isn't you oo-oo She isn't you [alone] She isn't - You

If , you could see me, in the light I am Everything you, dream but cannot be I don't want your praise I don't need your adoration This is when I begin, to become your new fixation It's all the things that you fear in the night When you are, all alone, dreaming of life that is well beyond your Skin, skin, skin, true colors within The more you look, the deeper you're into my skin, skin, skin, your cardinal sin The judgment passed, the malice within If , you could be me, with your heart intact Would you free me, never to come back (Return) I don't want your praise I don't need your adoration This is when I begin to become your new frustration Skin I don't want your praise I don't need your adoration This is when I begin, to become your true frustration It's all the things that you fear in the night When you are, all alone dreaming of life that is well beyond your Skin, skin, skin, true colors within The more you look, the deeper you're into my skin, skin, skin, your cardinal sin The judgment passed, the malice within Skin, skin, skin, skin,

Subversion 03:31
lyrics

Been at this place before, and it's likely we'll be back again Another closing door, slammed in your face to turn the tide No time for right or wrong While beating hearts begin to plan Annihilation of your mind Still social climbers always seem to say Subversion Subversion - Baptized without a soul Subversion Subversion- One world where all are proles I've seen your type before, and I know that you'll be back again Like a mother of the poor, snapping selfies for her social credit score Subversion Subversion - Baptized without a soul Subversion Subversion- Tear down the world, you silly little prole Subversion - You ridicule without Subversion - Anyone who doubts Subversion - Emasculates the weak Subversion

Groovy Vibe 03:10

What can I say, it's been a while, since I met you, on a bad rebound The way you walk, the way you talk, still cuts me through No more feeling down We've been digging the warm sunshine, please don't wait for a timely return We got lost in the daily grind, but I'm still feeling your groovy vibe What would you do, if you were me, and fell into, the great divide You know it's true, all that you do, to follow through So let's leave this town We've been digging the warm sunshine, please don't wait for a timely return We got lost in the daily grind, but I'm still feeling your groovy vibe What can I say, it's been a while, since I met you, on a bad rebound The way you walk, the way you talk, still cuts me through No more feeling down We've been digging the warm sunshine, please don't wait for a timely return We got lost in the daily grind, but I'm still feeling your groovy vibe We've been digging the warm sunshine, please don't wait for a timely return We got lost in the daily grind, but I'm still feeling your groovy vibe

Unbreakable 03:24
lyrics

5 AM comes mighty quick, in the land without a sun Like broken glass beneath my feet, my work is never done Divide the hours of the day, I am told where I must be As the wings beneath my seat, far from home they carry me Destination unknown to me Just follow the trail you'll see I'm unbreakable I'm unbreakable Unbreakable-breakable 5 PM I’m on the edge, I can't spend my time alone I'm a man inside a cage, all the makings of my own Line the street to see my face, while I'm talking on the phone No time to slow this pace, quiet life I'll never know Destination unknown to me Just follow my trail you'll see That I'm unbreakable I'm Unbreakable Unbreakable-breakable- hull Destination unknown to me Just follow the trail you'll see 5 AM comes mighty quick, 5 PM I'm on the edge I'm a man inside a cage, all the makings of my own Unbreakable I'm unbreakable Unbreakable-breakable Unbreakable I'm unbreakable I'm unbreakable-breakable- oh- hoa or ugh-ble

Crowded Place 03:22
lyrics
buy track
There's a house, where I hide my fear An empty room, where many tears were shed All that remains, after voices pass UN-gilded shame, yet I stand my ground Pictures fade, while the memory remains Day by day, in this crowded place Pictures fade, while the memory remains Day by day, in this crowded place There is a place, where only ghosts can play An empty room, after voices pass What still remains, is neatly tucked away Where tears were shed, I still stand my ground This crowded place
