Amber beams, they fill the cabin
Not a thought is left unturned,
I am in touch with the goddess.
I release my grasp.
My hands clasped,
Like a child,
To its mother.
Fly in the face, of insignificance
Like a bird with one wing,
praying to empty skies
You wait for your savior.
She welcomes me, into a cruel world
I'm left asking why, all i do is out of love
All i hear are whispers all throughout the cabin.
Heart swells, teeth clench, I'm inside the machine.
(comfort washes over me)
You wait for your savior to spread his wings
I watch the ground crumble beneath your feet.
You'll fade away, in time
from memories and the ones you love
Are you happy, praying to empty skies?
Skies, empty skies
They mock me just like you mock me.

Hedgehog's Dilemma

What does it mean to connect,
If all we do is hurt.
If we do let our guard down,
then all we do is prod.
Our defense mechanism
are meant to protect,
not make us happy
(not make us happy)
A double edge sword,
keeps you perpetually trapped
(perpetually trapped)
Why should we suffer through this just to feel the warmth
Can i make it through this winter on my own.
I don't want to die alone, but i know this future's not ours.
I stand still, feel the needles dig in,
I grit my teeth through the pain because
I know I'm not alone.

Plaster words to the wall,
so you can sit,
sit and watch the pain you cause (I'd be)
right there to hold your eyes open
sit and watch the terror on your face
How does it feel it feel to realize you burn everything,
Because you can't stand the fact the world would yawn.
I'll stand idle while you try to make your mark
I'll be waiting to show you, what you've done.
Is the product of environment a twisted moral compass
(twisted moral compass)
Can there really be a point when you're counting sheep to cope
(you can't hide in dreams anymore)
You can't escape responsibility, for the pain you cause the world.
No amount of time can save you. Virtuous twisted ignorance.
Sinking
Grab on to your safety rope
False idols will comfort you
I hope you drown and the sand fills your lungs
I hope you drown and the sand fills your lungs
I've seen it in your twisted smile
No one is safe from your bias
Your empty vessel yearns for a purpose,
And you'll tear it from the world
you'll tear it
From the world.

And Heart

Recollections are a part of me that i cannot sever,
Repeating the words that you said.
Im haunted by the memories that you left with me,
So you could forget all about me.
You laugh, And cry
And at some point i couldn't see the difference.
I let you go,
So you could turn away, and wipe my blood on the walls.
I know you love it, I'm always begging for it.
Cut off my limbs, while I'm smiling.
Just another masochist.
You punish me,
I said that this is love.
How wrong could I be when i was happy.
You played my god.
I'll be the reject, carry the weight of your ego.
I tasted your spit, and called it wine

The Architect's Brother

The person i am is because of the person i see
I shatter the glass yet i don't disappear
Who is that person i see across from me
Copying my every move
A shadow of my misery
Forged in shame and hate
Is this what i always looked like,
How many times do i have to die.
If i shatter the glass
Do i cease to exist?
Could i build myself anew?
He's smiling, But I'm not
I'm smiling, but he's not
He's laughing, but I'm not
I'm crying, but he's not
I'll never feel the same, I'll always feel conflicted.
I'll never understand this part of me that mocks me.
I'm me who are you
I'm me who are you
I'm me who are you
I'm me, no one

Drain what's left of me,
Not much life left in here anyway
Back and forth between your grasp
And the shadows of my dreams.
Did you suppose
That your sleight of hand illusion would keep my boat afloat
(For now) You have me avoiding every wink of sleep
My end of days began, When you laid your eyes on me
So lock me up
Throw the keys away
Your grip entices me to no end and I'm passing into nothing
(Nodding off again)
Content with apathetic attempts of romance.
Such a fool to think.
I'm dreaming and dreaming of you.
No composure, no symmetry for me
My end of days began when you laid your eyes on me
I haven't slept a wink in days
(but that'll do me fine)
Forever avoiding sleep.

Transforming The Myth

I've followed the lines on my skin
Every sentence smudged and blurred
Crimson red flows down the page
Erasing the identity of my former self
No solace no peace
I drift away fading from this world
I brought out the worst in me
You shifted the blame
(Agony)
(Bliss)
(Fade)
(Away)
(From me)
My peers never seemed to care
I was sinking or flying it all felt the same
I killed the worst in me, i killed everything
And after all this time i still never felt like i could do this on my own
You never fucking cared
I'll never ask for your help
I'll do this on my own
I've proven I'm the devil
Fallen from grace
I'll never ask for your help
I'll do this on my own
I've proven I'm the devil
Bastard fucking child
I'd rather watch the world burn and turn to ashes then see you enjoy another moment of your life
The storm you brought never subsided left in your wake an empty sea
Sink away forget my face
Sink away forget my face
Remove yourself like a tumor
It was your choice to begin with
Please forget my face

This band and SeeYouSpaceCowboy are spearheading the scene revival and I couldn’t be happier. Skronky and emotional riffs converge with emotional vocals that manage to be raw and brutal and very expressive at the same time. I love this record.
