Death collects
Submit your will to be doused in dense blood
Death collects
Submit and face me
Submitted to a world of tenebrous walls
Consumed by the caliginous cold of old
The pack of pristine coats will they ever look back?
As I fall behind, my squinting eyes
Can only see the blood disperse from within
Left behind bleeding out all alone in doubt
(I lie) Idle in a puddle of my own rising blood
Time will now be taken away
Death collects
Submit your will to be doused in dense blood
Dense (In dense)
Blood
Let me out tearing apart inside
Evaluate what I've gained
Nothing against this dark force of nature
Shut the eyes by knife
I knew I meant it
My darkest of nights
I hope I've seen it
As I fall behind my squinting eyes
Can only see the blood disperse from within
Left behind bleeding out all alone in doubt
(I lie) Idle in a puddle of my own rising blood
What should be fixed has collapsed
Collapsed
I've been playing in mud but now I'll finally take my stand
Man to man step down approach me face me up
I want your best man down
(Face me)

Lost Sight
03:19

I can't condone any more false starts
As it keeps taking a piece of me
I've been diminished but I have to believe
That there's something valuable within me
I've pledged my life for this but hope is concealed
I've lost sight and I'll always connect to doubt
I see, I see the broken path (Look left, look right)
It's a path I never wanted
I've lost sight lost the scent (Lost it all again)
Lost the drive as my mind kills it's faith
I'll fall so where do I begin
I've lost sight, lost it all again
This is a means, it's not the end
But oh, where do I begin
Forever alone was the destiny that were cast
Keep myself afloat, that thought would never last
A heart unread, congested, contested
The world I want to know will be rejected (Be rejected)
But for this life, the depths I'd go
I've lost sight lost the scent (Lost it all again)
Lost the drive as my mind kills it's faith
I'll fall so where do I begin
I've lost sight, lost it all again
This is a means, it's not the end
But oh where do I begin
The depths I'd go for this life I could know
I keep myself afloat (Keep myself afloat)
The depths I'd go, for this life I'd know
I've lost sight, lost it all again
Lost the scent, lost the drive
Where do I begin
I've lost sight, lost it all again
This is a means, it's not the end
So oh, where do I begin

One Final Effort

What's afloat is the rest of me
So now I'm convinced I am not me
What's afloat is the rest of me
So now I'm convinced I cannot see
See this soul
Or what's merely left of it
These years have drained
Out the colour and most of it
Is lost to this beast
This beast of pain and misery
And it grits its teeth at the victim, me
This dagger formed heart
This corrupted mind
What I've become
This war has to come to an end
With each passing day
I undergo trails of this statement
This is my final effort
What's afloat is the rest of me
So now I'm convinced I am not me
What's afloat is the rest of me
So now I'm convinced I cannot see
Is this worlds intent to tear a being apart?
Trapped beneath these thoughts
Contemplating another breath
Beneath everything and everyone but
No matter how
How far I'd fall
These rays persist all the way through
I've now learned to step
Along this dark broken road
What's afloat is the rest of me
So now I'm convinced I am not me
What's afloat is the rest of me
So now I'm convinced I cannot see
Now I'm at the tail end
What could have been done
What could have been said
I cannot become fodder
To my own world leaving colour
With each passing day
I'm left smiling in pain
This is my final effort

Crowned
03:56
|

We are not held back
The tethers are cut and you had spawned these spores that are now eradicated
Pushed away
Although we're not getting closer will there be closure for the mistakes you made
In our place
An unjustified replacement that benefits you but its true this trait
Was always you
We are the men
Our values kept within
Our own hearts
Take off your crown (Off with your crown)
Swallow your medicine (The world's weight)
Step down and come back to your home (Your home)
Take off your crown (Off with your crown)
Swallow your medicine (The world's weight)
Step down and come back to your home (Come back to your home)
Flaunted layers
Compiled atop your selfish ways and now you're fading away
In our memory
Running rampant take your smile, corrupt each part of you away
This is not your grave
But you are welcome in it
We are the men
Our values kept within
Our own hearts
Take off your crown, swallow your medicine
Step down and come back to your home
Take off your crown, swallow your medicine (The world's weight)
Step down and come back to your home (Your home)
And so it seems
You fell so far
You tripped all over your faults
You'd have us bow before your own grace
Your own grace
Drained spent, values kept within
We are the men
Our values kept within

Not The End
05:01

Remember all the times that I felt something
I close my mind and I hear you sing
I’m sorry for what I didn’t bring
So long (It’s not the end)
The loss, downfall, regain the strength
That you had made (Regain)
Regain the strength
Time has passed
But I won’t let you fade away
Your memory haunts me everyday
Everytime I think of the moment
I can’t face the fact
Wish I could find a way through this pain and never look back
Like you’d want me to
I know I turned my head
And left my sympathetic words left unsaid
Now I live with the mistake
I wish I never turned away
It’s true I was never there for you
Never forget
What you left behind
That pulls me forward
Always regret
So let this be the memory that drives me
Remember all the times that I felt something
I close my mind and I hear you sing
I’m sorry for what I didn’t bring
So long farewell
This is not the end
I plead for peace and close my eyes
To find hope
For my own part I’ll tell the story
Of this ethereal soul
Through the means of music
To the broken ones alive
Never forget
What you left behind
That pulls me forward
Always regret
So let this be the memory that drives me
My own part
Everything that I am
For your own past heart
They may forget but I never will
Please heal me
I have so much fear (So long)
Release me 'cause I need you here (Farewell)
Life is a moment (This)
Repeating over (Is)
And now I know (And now I know)
Light up my darkness (This)
With the torch that you bare (Is)
Show me more show me more I’m here
Not The End
Remember all the times that I felt something
I close my mind and I hear you sing
I’m sorry for what I didn’t bring
So long farewell
This is not the end
Remembered all the times that I felt something
I close my mind and I hear you sing
I’m sorry for what I didn’t bring
So long farewell
This is not the end
Rest In Peace

True North
04:17

I know I've been gone for far too long
And in my stead I put myself
My life buried in a rut through the fields of distortion
Where my values are stripped
My vision is blurred and I'll never be heard
I'm told to prevail
To fight through this unbearable pain
I'm trying, I'm trying but
This voice this face (This voice is lost)
Is so largely misplaced (This voice is found)
But I when all seems lost
It's still in reach
It's a matter of clarity
A letter to the person who makes me whole
True North I'll start to walk to you
From all the pain that I once knew
True North I'll start to walk to you
Start to embrace you
I'm washed away in this life of torture
But you'll catch what will fall
And mend what needs to be whole
So that all values regained (This love is lost)
So here I stand these cords vibrate (This love is found)
I never knew a power that could fuel
What was lost and soon you'll hear it
Soon you'll hear the sound of love
True North I'll start to walk to you
From all the pain that I once knew
True North I'll start to walk to you
Start to embrace you
Hear the sound of love
(Love within me)
(Love within me)
Cherish this moment, this feeling
That face that brings you back into this world
A love once lost is found
If we dangle by each other's arms
We need to realise that the people beneath us are in a worse state
So let's pick them up, create a chain effect
They can look upon the world
With the longest, the warmest, the kindest eyes
They'll live their life, a love once lost, they will live their life
Because of you, I've now vowed to stay away from the knife
Cherish this moment, this feeling
That face that brings you back into this world
A love once lost is found
