Inducing Nausea 02:19
lyrics
buy track
Worrying about my condition Like I'm the only lonely person Desperate for affection My heart held in contention Thinking about your touch I can’t escape this clutch Tearing myself down Hoping that ill drown Wasting so much life This feelings one of a kind I’ve spent so much time Thinking about the day I die That when it finally comes I think I’ll love the place I lie Can’t find 10 seconds to breathe When you’re so far away from me I’ve spent so much time Thinking about the day I die That when it finally comes I think I’ll love the place I lie

Beacon 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Cleanse the the plaguing blindfold that will take away my sight Because I’m not quite sure that my eyes will make it through the night Purge my vision, I prefer the sound of all my sins It's lonely deep within I used to see a beacon when I stared across your soul Now all I feel is hatred just an ember burning coal Reach out for me and cling, my salvations what you sing Ash draped over kindling, let it smolder and lift your wings I waited for your beacon Now I’m scratching and reaching Cleanse the plaguing blindfold that will take away my sight Because I’m not quite sure that my eyes will make it through the night Purge my vision, i prefer the sound of all my sins It's lonely deep within As darkness creeps in closer close to the end of our descent How much further must we go before the ground is finally met Staring in to the abyss pray to the one who can’t exist Tears of charcoal end my last hope Let the ash seek the embers I know you remember Rekindle the flame of when we had a name Cling to my hand and bring me out of the night Remove the blind fold give me sight But stay away from the spot light, for it burns my eyes It burns my eyes.

Embrace the Pain 02:20
lyrics
buy track
Embrace the pain Fall into the earth Adapt to your rebirth If I think about the past I know that nothing lasts Everything will end Times rule doesn’t bend I Stay away from nostalgia To avoid the patterned thoughts That drag me down this hall again Block it out Understand the words in your mouth Pray for me then you’ll see I’m doing all I can My ears are always listening Even when you don’t speak. Pray for me then you’ll see I’m doing all I can Some things are out of my hands Overwhelmed and out of breath Has been my life since the first step Embrace the pain

Running in Place 02:59
lyrics
buy track
Stress has become the only thing I can feel Constantly battling what I thing is real Please bring me out of this Help me to beat this darkness I thought the end of the day Wasn’t so far away I like to hope that I’m learning How to extend this journey Cling to my convictions For I feel my time is ending Release from my emotion I need to feel devotion Picking apart all the positives in life Doing all I have in my power reducing them to strife You want me to succeed That’s all i want to see My thoughts are killing me You’ve always been the key I'm running out of time They all say I'll be fine I'm looking for a sign To cross the fleeting line Now every night is the same Waking up in pain Please expose my shame And cascade in flames

Brick and Mortar 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Structurally sound Here alone waiting to be found All is fading in decay Brick and mortar turns into clay Everything built up Over the course of months Will be at last destroyed Ignoring all of our ploys When will we lay foundation That survives annihilation Creating something different Longing to be permanent Turn around and run away We’ll put this off an other day Procrastinating what could have been Waiting until our morale has risen Coming terms with fact that I can’t feel Anything at all Here I lay In a bed of dust Reduce the shimmer In to rust I paved the way for my vices No evidence has been cited I paved the way for my vices In to my eyes I’ve become everything I hate My bones go numb as my eyes dilate

False Bliss 04:42
lyrics
buy track
These places that I’ve seen I’ll never know just what they mean Running from my problems Knowing that I won’t ever solve them I’ve never felt like this Whirling in A false bliss Thinking life is hopeless My heads a dizzy mess I’m running in circles And hiding away Stuck in my own head I can’t escape Why won’t these memories fade I fear they are here to stay Locked up inside this cell Neglecting to help myself Fearing to tell someone else My turmoil resembling hell Why can’t I find some solace Trapped inside complete darkness I’m sick of feeling hopeless I found the strength to confess I’ve never felt like this Whirling in A false bliss Thinking life is hopeless My heads a dizzy mess I’m running in circles And hiding away Stuck in my own head I can’t escape Why won’t these memories fade I fear they are here to stay I’m running in circles (I’ve never felt like this Whirling in a false bliss) I’m running in circles (Thinking life is hopeless My heads a dizzy mess)
