I look up...fall under
depth is shrinking
strip apart into string
touch it....so cold

I beg for sound
when I wake
honor is still cheap
time stops convulse again

These scabs, some shine
blind as the sun
I want to touch the sun
pride is reborn

Kicked to the ground
fit to the ground
this mud is mine
this mud is all mine

I felt secure
the latch was safely sealed....
from your eyes
I felt secure
in my latex suit safely packaged
so snug and fit

The sickness comes quick
and creeps up
like hungry success
have we forgotten
so easily distracted
it's easy to hide

I'll never turn you over

This thing chokes inside,
and breathes without reason
it makes meaning endless
it puts an end to the meaningless

Through form,
and with whisper
there lay the gap
a hole was punctured
with heat and metal

Dear Lord....
if i make good with promise
maybe You could turn back these days

I must own up
to all that I have done
suture this faithless
My faceless disguise

I trust You though
I know that You are of love
the fault is all mine
and I will open for You

I am among you
we are the children of sin
the children of sin and repair

Sink in delirium
we can sink down
into blue atmosphere

Take advice from old ways
bleed yourself
cause im dieing to meet you

It shifts sideways
amphetamine kicks in
Now they'll never find us

You covered all your tracks
drag the wounded to safety
rise past all the ranks

Subdued the  sidearms
Everything else FLASHES
into and out of
like a concussion

Perpetual madness
can misinform the weak
but we all tried
to fill the cavity

It seems broken
humanity....once bustling
full of drive and vigor
Now wrecked and sluggish

So we'll sink further
go into the caves
and underneath your ashes
our bodies will rise

This time around
it slips and slides
and falls about....still....motionless
on movie screen

Thoughts of doubt
they creep about
and slip right through
every single crack....
Leading to you

I took the pill
and still i show no signs
of it helping me,
Only changing me,
Recreating me

I am better now?

These are symptoms
You cannot bargain with me
I am not the devils son
only underspoken

I am in disbelief
your constant rhetoric
generally makes me sick
You are honest words
from sharpened tounge

Your journey
through blood tube
it won't take long
like some capsule for conquest

We will wait and wait
for the horizon

The blood suckers
are all human
They are all in suits
and they grin all the time
because they know
we are locked down
they own us
Knuckle Deep

From the window
it all appears
through glass
through shard and shine
but the mind is home for now
the mind is safe for now....only for now

This will not heal
This will not mend

Picked through the killing
like an apathetic soldier
Oh it was good enough
yeah it was more then enough
I see us stretched on pavement
swimming in brain matter
constantly swimming
in and out and under
Through the calm
I watch you swim....
you swim so gracefully

Wrapped in warm arms
I can't let go
let me just peer through
the hole in your chest
