When faced with a fall We'll always flinch What use reacting to a chasm so deep We'd much rather sleep When faced with a flame We'll turn our face What use recoiling from an infernal rage We'll burn as we wait 

And the craters remain from the last time you came And seemingly our only crime Was wrong place wrong time And that's why we died Decisions were made by some corporate ingrades Put a price on all of our lives Happens all the time And that's why we died...

Why can't you hear my calling? I am perpetually mourning Can't seem to stop myself from falling It always comes without a warning It's cold against this window I never know which way the wind blows I watch the trees but they don't show me I sit alone a...

When you wake up with tears in your face Can't make the voice go away Can't take the pain, it's easier to go insane Than to study yourself wane When all of your memories are sad Forgotten the dreams that you had Friends are a lie, that don't care if you...

We as beasts of burden take the fall Though they'll break our backs won't share the spoils Time to put some backs against the wall Best to stand and die than live and crawl Though they'll break our bones they'll break our bones Though they'll smash our ho...

Face down and fucked again Taste of blood again Know that you three were the last thing that I've seen 

We're free to do exactly what we're told We're free to buy what we're sold We're nothing more than slaves my dear But our chains are made of gold We're slaves, we're slaves, we're slaves We're slaves, we're slaves, we're slaves Though our chains are gold...

Let's just go through this one more time Can't quite see that look in your eyes Or hear the cries, I'll feign surprise Like every time we always run through this shit Over again Let's just go through this one more time I've nothing better to do with this...

Nothing is something beautiful No one has eyes so blue Nothing cheers me when I'm down Especially when no one's around and Nothing Nothing's finding the words to say And Nothing is so far away Nothing ever can replace The time we lose every day...

Some things are so dark that woe betide the light that shines on them I swear to god i thought it was a sign This shallow grave recedes with every darkened patch of sky The withered wearied features start resembling mine And in the disparate clamour of the cha...

Face full of sun And we run 'til we lose our way Bad thoughts are gone War is won And all's in its place The day's all ours Until we trip on a Grave Birds stop their song As you turn to me and say We will be gone... 

One more day & we're on our way & Like all good pawns We'll sing as we fall Honour & pride a soldier's life It's easy to kill With god on your side Our way of/ A wasteful life is for what we strive & We'll see our goal No matter how man...

How much in blood? How much in gold? What volume of tears will suffice? What is the index price of life? And did it fall or rise today? That's why I dream with a gun in my hand And that dreams particularly clear I dream of the day that we'll laugh at y...

The love we made Between pissing And even as we sail This boat is listing We've weathered storms without even thinking That even as we speak This ship is sinking Our die was cast in better days But the compass points are all erased And so we're forc...

I would die with a smile upon my face With no complaints As tranquil as a saint This world would be transformed from a world of pain To somewhere sane My eyes would shine again But you don’t love me… And I would have died with a smile upon this weary...

Remember then, back when we almost died there What joy just to survive We promised then never to waste a moment again But the euphoria soon passed Now the same half empty glass And breaking hearts ad infinitum 

It's cold I'm afraid It's been like this for a day The water is rising and slowly we're dying We won't see light again We won't see our wives again 

Here we stand alone again Divided by the same old men Hands behind our back again & Our backs against the wall again Excuse us if we take offence Each action has a consequence & Yours cause nothing but laments & Our backs against the wall ag...

the sudden realization that not all is what it seems rises somehow exponentially it turns from a cry into a wail then a scream and then a howl an endless broken dull soliloquy pain can force the hand and turn the mind the pictures taint the judgement ev...

& The world was lost some years ago When the tyrants upped & seized control & We lost our lives to worthless oil & We're worth less than our weight in oil But the stockholders all had their pay But it's we who clean their mess anyway &amp...

When people ask me I always say That targeted assassination is the only way They might promise a better day but it's false & it's false yeah it's false They've stopped asking so how can we explain By the people for the people that was yesterday They'l...

Look at you now proud and lonely lost in belief that you're the only one who knows all there's to know but there's one thing you obviously don't If you don't let some good people get close to you then you'll fade too soon doubts and woe will follow wh...

I'm as lonely as a ghost as I sit down to write these notes To you and your intended, spring is the worst time for most Who've never reached the boundaries Or heard the notes as they were sung I believe this lonely ghost was forced to wander on until By...

It must be what now 13 days? But I can’t shake or forget this twist of cruel fate You threw yourself into the fray With no single thought of the end You fell once again So this is permanent this change It’s far too late to contemplate beginning again Th...

Here comes a storm The dust & papers dance around the room It tells of a storm The sky is a painted viscous swirl of troubled hues There’s a storm The branches rock & dance & creak & wave We’re in for a storm I’ve got this headache that...

As youths we used to talk at night Of the joys that life was going to bring our way & The failures of our forebears Were as clear to us as the cold light of day But now those days are dead & gone & The future that we had is now the past &...

So ignorance has such a pretty face It’s so easy to be drawn to such a grace But the grace & prayers you mumble while you lay prostrate & humble What are they? What are the words you’re saying? What are the games they’re playing Wipe those tears...

And thanks for branding me a failure And for destroying what joy I had The mantles cracked And turning black I found out I'm not the man That I fucking think I am And you're just like a fucking ghostie You trouble me when I try to sleep The sombre way...

Howl It's hard And that's why I howl It's the only thing that's left And that's why I howl It's the only thing that's left 

When solace finds you Knock at my door We'll talk till dawn We'll cherish this time Not like before And woe betide those who decry you They'll never know how I adore you Your face was pale and turned away It must have hurt to go that way The gasp you...

You do a great job as a muse I'm all lost and confused unsure of what to do clawing for clues And I will send my soul out to you over mountains and through woods I'd crawl to you just to catch a glimpse of you And should you hear a creaking from the floor se...

You are the prisoner And you are the guard You are the one who constructed the bars And despite this protection You still end up scarred Cos people are people They are who they are I was no better or worse than the fray Who did conspire to take you and...

It is useless We're subject to so much noise That we can't rest our bones let alone our eyes And we're failing We're surrounded by the waste Of what was ours yesterday Now it's thrown away Though the wind may change This face still stays the same It j...

This is for the pain that's yet to come This is for the war that's never won This is for the scars and heartache that I've gained along the way If it doesn't kill me then it makes you strong This is for the scratches and the bruises that we share This is...

I was trying to talk to you But you couldn't hear I was trying to explain to you But you wouldn't listen When I wrote it down You couldn't see what was written 

Flowers for you yet again And the tear stained cheeks never end We only seem to respond in kind An eye for an eye only leaves us blind 

You will find yourself alone When you’ve fallen from your throne I only pray there’s pity shown When you’ve fallen down from your throne It can be hard When you fall from so far If you fall or if you’re thrown It’s the same down you’ll go It’s a mighty...
