Lividity

Crossing my mind a thousand times The cost and personal sacrifice Hateful words in notes and melodies This excuse, undeniable truth Reaching ears faster than you can move (This ghost shall burn my own shelter?) The last place I expect to cover my eyes from fevered discontent (If they could change) Change, would we admit? These empty promises they give Never telling us to live Our will cannot be broken Plaguing my mind a million times The loss and personal sacrifice Spiteful words in chords and melodies This abuse holds true Still nothing can escape through the worst of it all Or just regret (If they could change) Change, would we admit? These empty promises they give Never telling us to live Our will cannot be broken This pride we hold so closely Our will cannot be broken Instilled until the day we die Our will cannot be broken

Place these fingers over the holes in your flesh But you'll never find the pieces that you lack Searching nameless city streets and abandoned hearts For your salvation Nothing will save you here Borrowed time, forgotten miles, faceless tragedy This lost city's demise We'll be the ones to break this mold You've spent way too long to get this wrong Your perception and your walls between everything Catch your breath, you'll make amends You'll be free at last This point of despair Revealing force with no acceptance of the present situation This place of desire deserted with no one but yourself to blame [Chorus] You're making promises you can't keep Turning your back Too weak to stand up or face the road of the righteous Your wrists unbound, it's in your hands... now [Chorus] Your chance for reinvention Your chance for reconnection Your chance for this redemption You'll be free at last Wrists unbound, it's in your hands... now Your wrists unbound, it's in your hands

I'm calling last call You're still intoxicating Lies and deceit used like a fist (of cowardice) Cornered and battered You'll burn every bridge before too long While your self respect is gone Lay your head down There's nothing left for you here Lay your head down Suspended in a revolving door of the blind Of all these faceless acquaintances Which will take the place of us Only time will tell (only time) This undeniable truth shall be known The meek shall inherit the earth And the weak shall... Lay their heads down There's nothing left for them here Lay your head down Absolve your veil of lies, dishonesty and pride Reveal your rightful self With the scourge of a thousand voices With the scourge of a thousand voices And the rapture of these legions ignite We'll see you in hell

To all that's safe, our memories Our justified angst So consumed with no escape Just time to wait Bury our distress to console Isolated, we let out self denial A faint memory of a fall left black Only three words left to say: I fail you I'll pay my respects with what I have left We're so close to home, yet we're falling apart at the seams And memories guiding us to sleep Call your name It's been so long It falls on deaf ears Tragic failed attempt at redemption Photographs discarded, re-emerge Only to throw me deeper still Into remorse and regress, two years ago And these familiar places are becoming foreign [Pre-chorus & chorus] [Solo] Nothing is safe, not memories or visions of you So confused with no escape Only three words left to say: I fail you [Chorus] Guiding us to sleep...

Disconcerting feeling has opened my eyes for the very last time This faith stirs an echo I hear amongst the safe and perfect waste A slow fear still creeping in Invasive and persuasive like a whisper softly convincing me to move on Lay waste to all the tangible explanations Nothing's as it seems Spit out the words to this question The validity of my future faults Carving my intentions with this blade of distinction Digging deeper still in my skin Twisting slowly, opening the wound Spit out the words to this question The validity of my future faults Spit out the words to this question Where do I begin? This line scored from ear to ear Telling a tale of exsanguination These (immanent?) fingers pressed against my neck Bleeding out the destruction I command This calm stirs an echo I hear amongst the sacred perfect waste A slow fear still creeping in Invasive and persuasive like secrets quietly convincing, And missing the moral in these eyes

I wanna breathe you in, senses realized At first sight, this day imagined... waiting Wanting for so long Gaining this long lasting epiphany A dream well within my grasp Laid out for me to follow But with every intention is fulfilled I wanna breathe you, in senses realized At first touch my veins are on fire This can't be real, could not be absolute Unfeigned feeling of compassion Rises through the pores of my skin Before us, for us This collapse holds true Before us, for trust Faith in this renewed

This avenue, this home takes everything but gives back solitude A proud departure from the rigors of a mundane breath Expelled from the depths of a blackened sea Expelled from the lungs of a gasping child Strangled with a noose Benign of provocative engagement Coursing through these veins is the will to persue the unthinkable, The diligence of so many before us To achieve this reverie The only way because we chose this... Life of uncertainty With this life of uncertain means We can still believe and face change in a life of uncertainty Life of uncertain means A collapsed paradise, laid waste to the masses The ample saturation almost Choking the life out of us But enough air to breathe through this permeated dream We extort respect and honesty, But guile and cunning require our defenses Evoking our purpose and objectives Forming this alliance that shapes and molds without discretion Our intuition [Pre-chorus & chorus] Calling out with steadfast senses Possessing all the answers that are questioned And revised until the end of time Worth and want tested with an action of advocation Describing our fate and delicate delivery... Of this hate [Pre-chorus & chorus]

Condemned ones void of any signs of life Retribution of words to decide Our hands with recklessness at our throats Now... Affording disregard of these vessels encountered Take pity on the precious hope and what we construct With vigorous intent We are the architects of suffering Everything in a trail of desecration Everything we have fought for thus far Blueprint and design of our future, held in our hands Still on a path of self-destruction Mark our words... There will be nothing left of this fabricated shell Dismantled brick by brick Consummate just one more fix Another day withered away without justification Falling apart anticipating to reconcile Pacify and divert the bane of our existence It seems the only way to abandon and deprive of reason We can't spare ourselves the strain we bestow Our bearing firm, self deprecation Can we afford to defend our reality today? Everything with a path of degradation Everything we have paid for thus far We are the architects of suffering We are the architects of criminal desire We are the architects of suffering We are the architects of such imperfection We are the architects of suffering We are the architects of such imperfection

Your stagnant truth, this buried youth Wake up wrought with atrophy Your scars will heal Take my hand, I'll guide you through Strip your thoughts of this treacherous road I'll bring you home Your heart beats with shallow depth Lividity is certain Still breathing with shallow breaths Your failing wish dissolves Carve your niche You'll scream your name You'll follow with no avail Clawing through the sediment you'll be corrupt no more Pressure unnerving, clutching you closer [Chorus] Your pulse weak this darkened day This crushing calm to the back of your head [Chorus] Failing... Your heart stopped beating Tragedy... Of life worth saving Grasping... I'll hold you closer Gasping... This one last breath

Mine, immaculate dream Made breath and skin I've been waiting for you Signed with a home tattoo Happy birthday to you Was created for you Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces? Oh, it'll take a little time Might take a little crime To come undone, now We're trying to stay blind To the hope and fear outside Hey child, stay wilder than the wind And blow me in to cry Who do you need? Who do you love? When you come undone Who do you need? Who do you love? When you come undone Words, playing me deja vu Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before Chill, is it something real Or the magic I'm feeling off your fingers? Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces? Lost, in a snow-filled sky We'll make it alright To come undone, now We're trying to stay blind To the hope and fear outside Hey child, stay wilder than the wind And blow me in to cry Who do you need? Who do you love? When you come undone Who do you need? Who do you love? When you come undone Can't ever keep from falling apart Who do you need? Who do you love? When you come undone Can't ever keep from falling apart Who do you need? (Who do you love?) Who do you love? (Can't ever keep from falling apart) When you come undone Can't ever keep from falling apart
