Every single morning I wake
I see all the things you can take
You keep telling me to be strong
Overcome the things we've done wrong
You know me (well you think you do)
Give it all to try something new

what part of this can you not see?
Just how dead can I be?
Held up in the passing of time
Scratching this paper a worthless rhyme

I'm all I'm ever gonna be
take this one and break it to three

Choke and strangle and suffocate you.
your eyes are red and face is blue
you shouldn't have, but then again you knew
my heart stops beating because of you
All the pieces have now been set
And to this day I cannot forget
I thought you were a keeper
You've cut so much deeper
Can't you see how far we have come?
Don't you wish that we were numb?
I hear you voice, it's still calling
I'm losing grip and still falling
There's nothing left for me to do
But drag my heels and follow you

Am I not the man that I once was?
Myself and I have turned to dust...
We have been wrapped up so long
I'll lose my mind over a simple song
You have certainly left a stain
Please my dear' take away all this pain

All these feelings drawing near
And you and I just disappear

Yes, I drank them all
I'm not trying to stand tall
You've built the fall
I will **** them all...

I hear the sound it echoes in my head.
The voice to stay alive.
The difference of sanity and dead.
A way I could survive.

It drops a steady metronome.
Kinda vague but clear.
Dragging me from home.
And then we disappear.

Listen to the note.
Listen and obey.
I only hear it with my eyes closed.
Still so far away.

I couldn't help but stop and stare.
you didn't see me.
I wondered if you'd even care.
Please set my eyes free.

I can't get away.
And I can't let go.
I couldn't hear you with my eyes closed.
I'm so far away.

Listen to me.
Now you will obey.
Won't you make me force your eyes closed?
And send you away.

I'll send you away.
I'm so far away.

Tried to keep from breaking down.
Hold my ears and drown the sound.
Kinda getting hard to breath.
I guess you're not the girl for me.
I look into her eyes anew.
It's just like looking right at you.
We promised to fight away the pain.
To see the lie, drives me insane.
I know you heard it calling.
To bring you something new.
Don't ever let me catch you falling.
Cause I'll fall right down with you.
Never to admit how much I cried.
August twenty eighth, the music died.
I wanted four to equal one.
I should have known it can't be done.
So long to one, and half to three.
Gone forever, you and me.
I'll cling to her and hold her tight.
If only for one more good night.
I know it wasn't a surprise.
I'm not that naive.
You just wouldn't give that much.
But it was all that I could see.
I know you heard him calling,
To bring you someone true.
Don't ever let me catch you falling.
Cause I'll fall right into you.

Subtle and submissive I consider it and wonder why the weavers
motives are so hard to see.
Certainly a pleasure not to be the one.
Ease me off and teach me all the details of my ending.
Wide eyed and full of lies these reapers I am rending.
A long white trail and coffin nails to hold me from the bottom.
Security in ignorance it seems.

So careful not to let you go, it's meaningless and we both
know his blindness is only temporary.
Before too long he'll hear it all and you will beg his pardon.
During the time of which we bleed, I'll lose all sight of wants
and needs.

The matter hugged from soil to sun form the shell rest in his gun.
The flesh and bone between us rips,
you and I apocalypse.

The Gaelic uisce beatha.
The water of life.
The welcoming sting dances patterns on your reluctant pallet.
Trickles drops down drowning your fear and narrow mind.
The angels tax 4% to the barrel annually.
And we've stolen the devil's cut.
Heavy flow down my throat beseech me to ask for more.
Makes a monster out of me.
Forms my skin to tempered steel.
Turn me on once more.
My love, old no. 7.

Coffin Nail

Sing it with me 1 2 3.
Maybe love is not for me.
Could it be my nervous twitch?
Maybe it's my oxy itch.
Build yourself a padded room,
Big enough for him and you.
Straight jacket gray and used.
Cover up your bad tattoos.
Could It be the way you bailed?
I'm draggin on a coffin nail.
Sent our love away to fly.
But baby I still had to try.
Take it till it's not enough.
Moving on is not so tough.
So karma then would be your prize.
Chew it up with all the lies.
And the people that you thought you knew..
built an army who will despise you.

Don't try to hear me now.
How can silence be so loud?
Through everything I seem to fail.
I'm draggin on a coffin nail.
What have you got left to show?
Baby I couldn't sink so low.
An infant left a broken home.
Just so you could spread and roam.
Maybe you won't read this text.
Maybe you won't see whats next.
Baby I can not deny.
I really wanna see you die.
My heart is numb my knees are frail.
I'm still draggin on a coffin nail

Concave the facade that was denied.
I'm not the percent you think survived.
It's been half a year since the love that you held near.

We wrote it down, you wouldn't read.
As Satan's voice surrounded me.
She tickled somber chords within my core.
Keeps me grasping sin for more.

Her IV drip seduction from my vein to my head.
The euphoric echo found in words that she said.
I'm gonna take you where you've never been.
Take your time my love, and soak it in.
Where we end is the road we bend.

Esoteric comfort bleeding out of your breath.
Keeping quarter from the tug of war nearing death.
Remaining dry standing in the pouring rain.
Chaotic self submission insane.

Ride with me once, I'll give you both sides.
Press my touch in places that sets rise to the tides.
Suffocate your love, it's time now to choose.
A dagger, a bible, a deal you can't refuse.
Morbid context warning as your soul splits the skies.
In the worst situation everybody will die.
Your decaying naivety that you've come to know.
Even if you wanted to you couldn't say no.
