Life's Worth

Up against the wall pistol to your head
No chump change to compensate with you dead
The life you had worth those few pennies
Friends never thought you somebody they envied
Flushing down pissed away
Your life was done nothing more to say
Never had use for brains where are they now
Just on the floor my friend decor for the ground
A pity pitiful mind can't save face
Bottled inside confined to distaste
Clogged pipe dreams slept off one too many
Filing down to just a single penny
The penny falls through your slick grip
Worthless you may be life flashed before stripped
Crumbled right before your eyes oh why
This world where dreams are left to die
No place worth moving on
Nothing to comprehend
Nobody else for you to call a friend
Fell to your knees your saviors won't please
Everything you knew your death has seized
Flushing down pissed away
Your life was done nothing more to say
Never had use for brains where are they now
Just on the floor my friend decor for the ground
A pity pitiful mind can't save face
Bottled inside confined to distaste
Clogged pipe dreams slept off one too many
Filing down to just a single penny
The penny falls through your slick grip
Worthless you may be life flashed before stripped
Crumbled right before your eyes oh why
This world where dreams are left to die

Sugar Comfort Kills

Focused on my flaws but they never improved
Found a place to play full of life for you
My patience ran thin let our fun begin
All the while keeping hate distant
With our souls so sweet and these fools at our feet
Dull hanger ons like twinks on a lease
Dead at my side dead at your side
Let me immerse with this drugged out mind
I was never going to say grace
Just vapid babble spat in my face
I was never going to say grace
When all I had was just a small taste
Now believe when I say androgyny is the way
For my life to feel complete
These days I've awoken these days that I seek
Are met with mockery and defeat
Darkness engulfed in the scorching light
The sun emerges making me lose sight
Several hours away we'll proceed to play
Until then let this comedown stay
I was never going to say grace
Just vapid babble spat in my face
I was never going to say grace
When all I had was just a small taste
Now believe when I say androgyny is the way
For my life to feel complete
These days I've awoken these days that I seek
Are met with mockery and defeat
I was never going to say grace
I was never going to say grace
I was never going to say grace
Just vapid babble spat in my face
I was never going to say grace

Backwash Bay

Never letting go that one flavor
Which forever lingers
In the shaft of my throat
Something tells me to keep returning
Every now and then
Just won't die Just won't die
Morning rise so I can find
The road to Backwash Bay
Worn down feet just keep dragging
While in pursuit away from nagging
Countless ways I'm bound to stay
But leaving is the option
Can't I see what's enslaving me
A voice unchanged unrelenting catastrophe
I can never fake it integrity has faded
Dreaming all along pretending that I made it
Should've done it their way
Should've done it their way
Should've done it their way
Should've done it their way
Should've done it their way
Should've done it their way
Strapped down on my bed
A false promise lingered in my head
The beast that won't stay dead
Cleanse myself before my end
Repeat this routine again
Embraced in the arms of my old friend sin
This body serves no purpose
Serves all and serves none
Just won't die Just won't die
Morning rise so I can find
The road to Backwash Bay
Worn down feet just keep dragging
While in pursuit away from nagging
Countless ways I'm bound to stay
But leaving is the option
Can't I see what's enslaving me
A voice unchanged unrelenting catastrophe
I can never fake it integrity has faded
Dreaming all along pretending that I made it
Should've done it their way
Should've done it their way
Should've done it their way
Should've done it their way
Should've done it their way
Should've done it their way

Heaven Left
05:23
|
|||
|
You never came through
With my body, on edge from breaking
A kinder world, too much for you
A sad excuse for Heaven in making
Reduced to memories
Bought out, like some fallen hero
Stressed yet satisfied
Masked your discomfort inside
Facades only last so long
When backed into a corner
Facades only last so long
Cracks seeping, Time gets shorter
I'm afraid, every, everyday
Cause Heaven left me without any last words to say
I'm afraid, every, everyday
Cause Heaven left me without any last words to say
Heaven left me again
Heaven left me for good this time
Heaven left me again, Heaven left me again
Notions lost, with these unfortunate truths
Detriment opinions calm
The worst offending fools
Left alone again
Left only memorable days
Reduce yet again
To this, most painful phase
I'm afraid, every, everyday
Cause Heaven left me without any last words to say
I'm afraid, every, everyday
Cause Heaven left me without any last words to say
Heaven left me again
Heaven left me for good this time
Heaven left me again, Heaven left me again
Sad excuse for Heaven in making
Sad excuse for life worth taking

Passage

Was I set for life in a past memory?
These fragile friendships aching to decompose
Haunts me, even to this day
With each face inevitably disgraced
A testament to sanity and hard faced truths
Passing through with these stylized wounds
One's I had kept under tight scrutiny
Letting go of a less fulfilled purity
Always crept back to me. Always creeping back
Waiting until those final moments to reignite any since
It's no wonder these trials set would be my undoing
A thankless metamorphosis
Could not let my feelings stay
Lest I destroy myself
When the day is over
In this false world of wonder
A glass smashed into my face
Each waking moment
Just waiting until it's over. Until it's over

Apparition friends seeking afterlife begins
An outcome you had hoped
Spared the bittersweet dances
Grave life in city nights no turning back now
Nothing to lose if your soul can't be found
What life Your life Epitaph's misread
Is it worth living if you favor the dead
Stories will change but death shall remain
Can't dwell on your past crimes
Can't carry the pain
Rotting figures rise to embrace your demise
With blood satisfying their thirst
A toast to loss whatever the cost
Guests of honor couldn't look any worse
Echoes are heard soil muffles the sound
Calling your name bodies tremble the ground
Hungry for more the fondled angels adored
Forgetting who you were before
Images you see manifest from your head
Awaiting you now a veil lifted dread
The wounds won't close graves remain open
Sky appears to fall yet your lives offered more sin
Abandoned your faith the supposed salvation
Fatal fodder now delicacy amazing
This night to remember yet swiftly forgot
Welcome to your end pal paradise you had sought
Abandoned faith abandoned faith
Abandoned faith abandoned faith
Rotting figures rise to embrace your demise
With blood satisfying their thirst
A toast to loss whatever the cost
Guests of honor couldn't look any worse
Echoes are heard soil muffles the sound
Calling your name bodies tremble the ground
Hungry for more the fondled angels adored
Forgetting who you were before
Abandoned faith
Abandoned faith
Abandoned faith
Abandoned faith

Drop Of Mercy
03:03
|
|||
|
Fell into a sudden stupor, lost my mind at the door
Made no peace or fortune
Left my mark on the floor
A beaten, battered ego
Tossed on a bed of thorns
Momma's favorite bastard, momma's first born
Sinking myself deeper and deeper
Succumbing to the non believers
Sinking myself deeper and deeper
No room for thought, or even a drop of mercy
Wasn't going to break temptation
Wasn't going to fill my heart
A stale chip off the old block
A beginning that should never start
Sinking myself deeper and deeper
Succumbing to the non believers
Sinking myself deeper and deeper
No room for thought, or even a drop of mercy
The vanity impact, of what I once was
Prevents me from becoming
Whispers and prayers
My faults weren't my own
Erasing this delusion from my mind

Father Skull

A trophy earned from a lifetime of desertion
Contacting from beyond with hollowed eyes in searching
The choice you made in life. Nothing short of confusion
Redeemed yourself in other ways now
Lie in death seclusion
Watching over me you say
Watching, nowhere else to lay
Watching over me all day
Watching over me you say
Watching, nowhere else to lay
Watching over me all day
Father, so long
Still had the last laugh
Your grin reminds me where you stood
Happened all over again?
I might've cared if I could
It's old news now, always had it so easy
Can't feel it no how
A luxury that you leave me
Watching over me you say
Watching, nowhere else to lay
Watching over me all day
Watching over me you say
Watching, nowhere else to lay
Watching over me all day
Father, so long
Wiseguy whispers, all in my head
Wiseguy whispers, thoughts I've been fed
Wiseguy whispers, all in my head
Wiseguy whispers, since you've been dead
Have your skull to hold over
Times I cherish when I'm sober
Have your skull to hold over
Times I cherish when I'm sober
Father, so long

Serpent Circus
04:20

A serpent creeps upon my flimsy surface
With elegant sinister all knowing purpose
Held out in limbo with no thought or meaning
Surrendered to the Serpent Being
Dark visuals lay upon the mirror master
Hair seems to fade heard wicked laughter
Green lit for a new dawn old days won't suffice
Surrendered to the Serpent Device
Spectral mother her face an abstract
A vision I conjured some sanity intact
Fluorescent fires dreams only dire
Surrendered to the Serpent Liar
Open cages flooding nightmarish features
Cold blooded clowns and the like evil intent
Could not see reality none at all
Names that you heard weren't your answer to call
All in good fun consumed with unknown embrace
Watched as I fall and the mind dissipates
Spirits kept up despite my ongoing pain
But in this hell it's myself I disdain
The Serpent bites this bleeding heart stops
The Serpent bites this bleeding heart stops
Ah Reborn
The serpent creeps upon my flimsy surface
With elegant sinister all knowing purpose
Held out in limbo with no thought or meaning
Surrendered to the Serpent Being
Spectral mother her face an abstract
A vision I conjured some sanity intact
Fluorescent fires dreams only dire
Surrendered to the Serpent Liar
