watches, watches watches, watches watches, watches watches, watches calling all the lost ones from your hiding come creep out from your holes it’s time to break this heavy silence it’s time to raise the noise come out to play, we do it my way get up behind, real close come feel that force flowing through your veins breaking into skin and bones the world watches us go watch me as i go embrace the creature i’m becoming i inhale with frozen lungs inside it moves, i feel it pounding and the world at the tip of my tongue the world watches us go watch me as i go watches, watches watches, watches watches, watches watches, watches

treacherous way of life for the fool and the wise big rewards for the brave punishment so they’ll behave behave play with me the game of fire join the loud and heartfelt choir this is the sound of joy coming from my innermost sprung from north coast to coast there were calls and demands to become one of them gave me life on one condition i owe them this i owe them vision play with me the game of fire join the loud and heartfelt choir this is the sound of joy coming from my innermost sprung from north coast to coast of joy coming from my innermost sprung from north coast to coast

LIKE HELL 03:43
carry my head with this mangled body it hurts like hell the lights are on, there’s nobody home lungs are lid, and heart is mould
5.
NOT HUMAN 05:18
i saw you there at night your shape appeared in the distance your face distorted in the light and out of breath, i closely listened your hungry eyes glow with fire and light up my humid hollow just like me, the treacherous kind the warning’s spelling out your name the winds are shifting, are you in? oh, you make my waters flow now look how tall i grow i’m not human oh, with you it’s magical the urge is animal i’m not human i felt you take a bite your calming voice silently whispered how do you see your life in time? and is it worth all of these blisters? these broken limbs are worn and tired but our words are not yet written our ember still burning inside the warning’s spelling out your name are you ready to begin? morning will put out this flame the winds are shifting, are you in? i saw you there at night your shape appeared in the distance your face distorted in the light

TEMPLE 04:18
to get this think tank running i must suffer this drought you’re nothing but made of water my brain is flooded with my doubt now i draw in circles i saunter on and on to carry your daughter so you can show your unconditional love your love your love your love your love your love your love your love your love to get this blood bank pumping i want all of you out these bitches all make me ill and i do not bargain with self-love this is my temple this is my wailing wall and i will tell all as my legacy is echoed on repeat their armies be close on my heels chase my shadows for nothing they hunting for all of my skin the walls of my shack to cave in to be the woman above all to be the man that you want it takes devotion and it takes affection to fit this consummated part hollow perfection — objection you make me feel none, none all self-deception what you see, a mirage of ideals their armies be close on my heels chase my shadows for nothing they hunting for all of my skin the walls of my shack to cave in your love so you can show your unconditional love

SAMARITAN 04:21
oh, the future is gonna be bright a clear path and all the stars are out looking up at the dark blue sky walking steady, not blinded by the light i don’t believe in a god, let’s leave religion out of all this i don’t remember promising my life and soul to bring you all bliss if i am what you say, i expect to be hanging from a wooden cross when all this is done, it’s done oh, the past will never be the same once i am done, good memories will be gone they guard their secrets with their lives i spit on your fo-forsaken tribe i don’t believe in a god, let’s leave religion out of all this i don’t remember promising my life and soul to bring you all bliss if i am what you say, i expect to be hanging from a wooden cross when all this is done, it’s done oh, thy beauty makes me go blind when you are near, my senses don’t function i give you this empty life can i be your soldier with a knife?
8.
as far as the eye can see the wastelands i call my home returning for the thrill where my silence is silver my noise is gold the lightest dunes of sand are mountains, i let them grow standing on my two hands under your control i saw it, it was real a place for us to start a home i’m going in for the kill my silence is silver so i’ve been told the lightest dunes of sand are mountains, i let them grow standing on my two hands under your control the lightest dunes of sand won’t let me raise my voice stranded on dried up land flooded and overgrown the lightest dunes of sand are mountains, i watch them grow standing on my two hands under your control the lightest dunes of sand won’t let me raise my voice stranded on dried up land flooded and overgrown

BLAZING 04:05
wheels be spinning faster from home come brush closer to where you wanna go lick my wounds, sing it to overcome a handful miles only to be gone we be blazing headlights cut the black with a glow heavy breathing streams down the window stays on my skin in the heat of the dark all i need is to feel your spark we be blazing i came what i came what i came here for and i lean my head on your insides and we we be blazing your reflection speeding quickly by the night is, now your eyes will spark and we we be blazing
10.
SIMMER DOWN 04:05
for when you wake up there once was a land little known to your kind there once was a land only we knew how to find where we were fire simmer down, simmer down when my hands are sore from carrying this weight around when my eyes are numb and the air is failing on our lungs and we’re left with a bitter taste on our tongues your shallow truth fractures and distorts our self views and my tether beat echoes in the minds of a few for when you wake up all light absorbed in the shadows i will hide ’til the contour of my silhouette fades to undefined i still have fire simmer down, simmer down your shallow truth fractures and distorts our self views and my tether beat echoes in the minds of a few for when you wake up if you ever wake up
11.
in his veins, his blood flow to the centre of his soul it boils into breeding warmth that needs receiving here is a warning for you falling out, falling out, falling out of love of love to and from, high and low transient times, tidal flow a strain on your body draining the soul here is a warning for you falling out, falling out, falling out of love rapids of blood will flow feeding the urge, he grows of all my desire but our time is up now
12.
GONE 04:37
on two legs but my feet never touched the ground i got my head in the soil leave no prints to be found the nature’s strength the wonder who i am gone a weakening force all echoes from my past gone shala and the battle goes on and the love that you felt will be here when you are gone shala and the songs that you sang and the words that you meant will be here when you are gone sh! this mouth on me and this voice against time be brave and free or be wing clipped and grimed this weakening noise will fade softly to silence one final moment as i stay awake as the air i breathe will make a change of space they’ll never know they’ll never feel the ache the drips of salt you’re tasting off my face the nature’s strength a wonder who i am
13.
big cities, tall buildings, concrete obsolete moods, and the scent of smoke two worlds and none in which i fit all covered in dirt block letters in your formations i see shades of you everywhere i turn thin line from here to here between being sane or disturbed we go on with our lives our separate ways and as i pass my time the memory stays cold sweats, but nights won’t wait we run fast, the light won’t catch us this life is different, for better or worse but it’s all an act like the songs that i’ll play you someday like a frozen frame, stuck in my head no outrunning the ghosts of your past i learn to live with them
14.
your voice will not laugh no happiness to plead who will speak on my behalf? who will harvest my yield? it’s a poison to give up i’m not sufficient, not enough to sink in come closer, my love let’s drown in misery there is an ocean of possibilities blinded my endowments and abilities there’s nothing like the image reflected of me oh, we gaze at it for hours this spectacle of ours we let it sink in come closer, my love let’s drown in misery there is an ocean of possibilities you close your eyes you close your eyes you pass the borderline and float to shore and after all our distance shows come close to the flame and hope remains come closer, my love let’s drown in misery there is an ocean of possibilities
