The Autumn Offering
Album • 2009
The walls come crashing inward We bleed from an open wound We feed upon the broken Saturated with fears As were stricken by years Stare idle to lifeless oceans I won't be defined by failures Of the hypnotized Fade into desperation Cast out and ostracized The rapture so relentless [Chorus:] From the mouths of serpents falling I watched tomorrow die All hope is buried in the past Bleed for the absolution Desire tears at the will I can't be forced to empathize with the masses The son of apathy I won't be defined by failures Of the hypnotized Fade into desperation Cast out and ostracized The rapture so relentless [Chorus] So look down the end of a barrel Pray for an escape Before the curtain hits the cast Grieve for the death of creation While you bleed for the depth or your illusion

Submit to the numbness of narcotic sleep It dulls my eyes and dilates under the expanse of grey skies The dark comes to surface In my dreams the world burns Falling like prisms Turned numb to the pain Like my father spit on me Tell me how worthless I am As daylight filters leaves She wept so many tears for me Of desperation Forgive me father Forsaken have been left to die The walking dead surround me The hubris of our shame Sleepwalkers and the lemmings of modern day ...and I'm sorry I always pushed you away Please let me go Cradled in its grip with a gun up to my head Stomach aches Skin is white I'm always back for more [Chorus] You wanted to live Time lapsed while I couldn't breathe (couldn't breathe) Inspiration has died (you cannot open my eyes) ...and nothing makes me feel alive (for years of the torment left covered in shame) Time lapsed while I couldn't breathe (cut from your pride, born from your pain) As we slowly fade away In the end your all buried to me If callous hearts collide Could I re-open the wounds left scarred? To let those emotions bleed Of the ghost that's left of me [Chorus]

These words drip of deceit Leaving trails of my convictions Your words eat me alive Or merely kill my will to go on Her sweat It tastes of contempt How I hate you for your beauty Your lips taste of poison Breathing lies on to your skin Rip me open In moments of epiphanies I won’t condemn you tonight Nothing I have ever said to you Could bring me back to your life So Ill re-collect the lies you whispered My hearts on fire So discarded Thrown to the starving wolves By the hand of Venus I should have left you there Too pretty to waste Too soft on my lips Too sweet not to taste I can’t see it as anything but tragic Drenched in sorrow Lighting highway fires I’m tasting dissonance inside a moment I'd cut out my heart and bleed without you All we love will leave us All that’s gold will rot and wither As we melt away to nothing We won’t be remembered In her eyes are dying embers So many tears for fading beauty When my hand was reaching I could count on her for giving in Why can’t you just forgive me? Rip me open In moments of epiphanies I won’t condemn you tonight Nothing I have ever said to you Could bring me back to your life As I was the seasons Changing The dying leaves fall without you As I was the seasons Changing The dying leaves fall without you

Take up the hammer Strike the iron Silence is filling you now No escape for your misdealings Misery guides the vines that twist and choke inside you Seize the day Drop the blade The end is truth I'm living proof I watched my future die Through all the burned down bridges Wasted years spent chasing demons There's nothing left to regret Not even a fool like you should go on Fly into the sun I'll laugh when worn out wings burn Through all the burned down bridges Wasted years spent chasing demons Another burned-out town Acidic Dried-out Starving Desolation dealt in spades Kill yourself Let there be no lies between us Trephination of the will Kill myself Let there be no ties between us Another chalkline for the till There's nothing left to regret Not even a fool like you should go on Fly into the sun I'll laugh when worn out wings burn I haven’t shed a tear It's been so long through bitter years Maybe I'm the one who'll die When worn out wings burn Temptation baits the addict gene Familiar places Empty spaces Hereditary path of destruction Coma-white riddled with sickness Through all the burned down bridges Wasted years spent chasing demons Abandon your hope For no one is listening Turning a deaf ear to you Excess of this unfit king I am To this earth flesh I'll deliver There's nothing left to regret Not even a fool like you should go on Fly into the sun I'll laugh when worn out wings burn I haven’t shed a tear It's been so long through bitter years Maybe I'm the one who'll die When worn out wings burn

These pills that kill the pain As I wander through pitch black corridors Neck-deep in stagnant fog To the rhythm of this disease I’m but a slave to the muse that will kill me Addiction seeps within my bloodline The only thing I need is killing me As the concern passes for me You’re giving up Out the door as you said your last goodbye Fixed by this medicine Beaten and dragged Sunk to new lows Amongst the buzzards, carrion, and crows She eats my flesh and bleeds me slow Take me to my solitary gallows My darkest love How far we’ve come Ill let you kill me Just take away my pain The concern passes for me You’re giving up Out the door as you said your last goodbye Spiritual failure Cut from absent concern Rising like the tides The flood weighs heavy In her tears I’m drowning I knew her masquerade Yet I dove in anyway Now I’m sinking in fathoms Stand amidst the oceans roar Under tormented skies A grain of sand Of a kingdom built on lies The concern passes for me You’re giving up Out the door as you said your last goodbye As the dirt falls on my grave Just say goodbye Turn away Walk away You did all that you could You can’t fix yourself with medication

I thank you for the scars They are the lines that grace my wrists today Have you come to collect the heart Of the ghost you left of me? The purest cloth drapes sinners Fetid shrove of lifeless need In my heart she lies embedded But I know she'll never set me free Fire burns my blood when I touch you Your heart bestowed upon me Now I prayed for a fallen angel With worn out wings and a vampire's smile I was sent a broken angel I'm still alone on this crooked mile She's beauty and death Take my last breath I'd gladly give it away she's wet on my lips the scars on my wrists inflicted by her misery so I'll speak in fragments my daily cruicifixtion you can't hold me anymore Fire burns my blood when I touch you Your heart bestowed on me And you tell me that it's art And your tears are made of lies Lies Hanging from your halo Fire burns my blood when I touch you Your heart bestowed on me You tell me that it's art And your tears are made of lies Your heart bestowed on me Your heart bestowed on me You tell me that it's art And your tears are made of lies Hanging from your obsidian halo The problem with the dead They always come back again Coking on your obsidian halo Save your screams for savior scenes

This track is instrumental.
I'm searching for the answers None are written in the sky Through all the hurt and pain of my life All I ever felt like I was dying for a reason Yet the darkness left me blind Rotting with the passing seasons These times they uncertain us Tyrant of the individual Beckoned by the lepers smile We torn our eyes to an eternal sky My wounds were covered up by pride yet time always wins I fear the emptiness The misery haunts me I remember holding on to anything you gave Once again, made a liar Twisting the knife in my heart Your choking my breath Defend unto me (solo) Old man Weak and frail Dying under newborn skies They'll sing your requiem Legacy of wasted time I remember hate in your eyes Your choking my breath Wounds cover my pride Filling my emptiness Misery haunts me You fail me Final Requiem My wounds were covered up by pride yet time always wins I fear the emptiness The misery haunts me I remember holding on to anything you gave Once again, made a liar Twisting the knife in my heart Your choking my breath Defend unto me

Not a vestige remains Of the naive, misled girl This place will claim your soul Spit in your mouth Bind and gag you It's easy to lose your mind Then blame it on apathy (Denial fits you well) The medication that you pray for Leads back to your misery From the cradle of emotional wounds To the floor of physical scars You fuck the liars who deliver nothing Yet promise you the stars I'll pray for endless fires for endless days Burn this fucking place away Burn the corpses and spit on the ashes Of a faded memory From perfect skin to ashen gray There is an art to the pain of your life With every tear that falls It's a part of you that will forever die It's easy to lose your mind Then blame it on apathy (Denial fits you well) The medication that you pray for Leads back to your misery Is it worth the sin? Does it relieve the pain? On your knees again Queen of the charlatans Xanex and a loaded gun Smut queen- watch you run They’ll shed no tears for you They’ll watch you die unloved Search for the missing pieces Cut away by those you trusted There is an art to the pain of your life With every tear that falls It's a part of you that will forever die It's easy to lose your mind Then blame it on apathy (Denial fits you well) The medication that you pray for Leads back to your misery Now you’re immortalized Queen of the gutter Relinquish yourself from live To spite the ones that suffer

She’s draped across the bathtub Or lying on the floor So cold her pale white skin Ill touch her to be sure Blind redemption The words were draped in broken embers Regret is all that I have I can't seem to sleep Without her face The lines under my eyes Foretell my sleepless nights Why am I holding on? Denial of frail wrists The words were draped in broken embers Regret is all that I have I need you to paint this portrait in my mind To take away my pain ...and she’s pure and silent Crawl back into the womb Premortal emancipation The scars ripped across her neck Mimic the holes of trephination Throw her back The words were draped in broken embers Regret is all that I have I need you to paint this portrait
