Fold your hands
Your feet are sure to follow
I show my gun
Because this time
You've gone too far

The unlocked doors, the empty home
The smoke in the kitchen, the ringing phone
As hearty a welcome as I've ever known
The box in the hall, the guarding gnome
The fire in the furnace and the charred bone
As hearty a welcome as I've ever known
The syrup is sweet and vinegar strong
Your body is ripe but I know it's wrong
As hearty a welcome as I've ever known

When the cracks in the hall
Take a turn for the worse
I always knew the path
But the devil advised me first
The cord has been cut
But the cosmonaut denies his curse
Drink deep from the well, the tomb of deceit
In the city of sorrow, every day's a defeat
The buildings all crumble and the valley's a grin
A whole-hearted smile, a half-empty drink
My hive has collapsed and the factory's dead
Here my queen, she just cackles,
"Off with their heads,"
Drink from the well, the womb of regret
Don't you fool yourself, son
You're better off dead

Deadletters

These halls are not a home
My voice remains unheard
And these hands, they struggle to hold
To hold a candle up to the cold
The wind, it blows in heavy breaths
To scare the crows back to bed
The brightest moon to fathom
I'll try to sleep instead
Please ignore the phantoms
You'll just wake the dead

Gomorrah, Gomorrah

Bite my tongue on words lost and gone
Fixed on silent hope
Beg for the throes
Wander alone
Growing old
Far from the road
Food for the soul
This is the only way I know

I have found my empty space
Where even waves won't break
Void it all beneath the waste
I may be reborn I may be misplaced
A faith forlorn I shall forsake
All in which you once held in grace
To disregard and be replaced
She held her hands over her face
No longer carved from my embrace
The warmth was gone
Gone without a trace
And in my sleep I live a life
Beyond the reach of screams
A fate for long or so it seems
I was always afraid of this place
Rise and shine, I'll take mine
Overlook the side effects this time
Step outside, leave behind
A world and all its subtle changing lies
Dim the light, twist the line
I appreciate the sacrifice
Ignore the signs, enjoy the ride
I'll be back when the time is right

Different Problem

I've been searching for so long
Can't seem to find a one
An ancient way to pass
I've been searching
For too long
She rode
Through stormy waves
And growing tides
Ascend through dark times
The reign of night mares
Blooming wide
Silent steps turn to
Bitter strides
I've been waiting for the dawn
But it never seems to come
Oh how long will may last
I've been waiting for the sun
She rode

Freight #46

Looking out the window
At the passing pines
Avoiding the reflection
Of that sad stranger's eyes
He watches the world
Go speeding on by
And wonders if he's
Running from dark times
The lines on his face
Are not from a scorn
But the trials of love
And an internal war
No blade in his pocket
No gun at his side
And he wonders if he's
Running from dark times
He knows that the the sun
It is soon to arise
But the beauty is lost when colors combine
And shoulders, they ache, from a life lived in vain
And his mind keeps a'spinnin' like the wheels of this train
They grip the rails and the passengers rise
I watch them all gather and fade from my life
Linger for a moment and let out a sigh
Because I'm still a'runnin' from 46 crimes

As I count the days
The number always stays the same
We could find a way
Where we will never stray
Echoes all remain
In 46 shades of grey
And my love is a place
That has never seen no rain
Would you please take the reigns
And steer me to the plains?
And I will never fade
Oh too far from your grace
Echoes all remain
She rode across the ocean
46thousand days
46hundred miles
Riding across the waves
My mind is a cannon
Bellowing blows
Rising through the waters
From 46 leagues below
Smoke stacks in the distance
Rise to meet the clouds
46 is the instance
Distorting all my sounds
And my love is a desert
Sorted through the scenes
Empty crowded notions
Yet to be unseen

Leave it alone
Oh, that broken thing
Let it be known
I couldn't help myself
You couldn't let go
You were holding on
So cast your stones
They meant everything
Yet fall so slow
You're on your own
It's a miracle
Look how I've grown
Trials and errors
Your grave mistake is walking on its own
Trials and errors
I won't forget what it feels like to grow old

Something Instead
04:11

Your body's a graveyard
Littered with reasons
Scattered with holes
And I'm haunting around
You cast a shadow
In the kitchen light
In the darkness that creeps
Up from under my door
It isn't worth it
I'm not worth it
There was something
Now there's nothing
Nothing anymore
You are the pavement
Chalked up with imprints
Reckless, unwinding
And you're breaking my fall
Your mind is the home
Empty with possession
Fuck absolution, I'm all alone
It isn't worth it
I'm not worth it
There was something
Now there's nothing
