MORIERIS
06:19
|
|||
Dragging my fingers through your narcissus pool
Corneas sparkling like an architect’s tools
Shrivel dead on the vine, your web of glittering lies
I know nothing’s here; lord knows, nothing’s here
Easy and cheap reality; foolish, I let you seduce me
Roll the boulder up the hill, ride back down to catch a thrill
It’s tiresome to deconstruct how this all fell apart,
I’m working on a theory that we lose before we start
The smoke from this old windbag trickles out like my own soul
Unfurls tendrils of cumulus that swallow all my goals

SEPTIX
05:36
|
|||
I’m giving it up, walking away; taken for granted, tired of praying
Tightening vise closing in, feeling the pressure rising within
Or has it all gone septic?
I can’t explain the drive and the urges; I can’t control the tidal wave surges
I can’t resist the pleasure I seek; I can’t desist my wicked speech
I can’t go on reveling in sin; I can’t climb out this hole that I’m in
Has it all gone septic?
Sinking me under, weighing me down, sinking me under, ready to drown

HARNESS
05:47
|
|||
This gleaming palace, tarnished by the air, we writhe in impatience, harnessed in the lair
Step into the gloaming, relinquish the reins, a river of oaths, a fountain of pain
Shield your eyes, hot breath, fine lines; shield your eyes, harness, white lies
Our quest for approval, just more of the same, we envy the fathers, we circle the drain
The color of anguish, flushed, flaming embrace, let loose from this life, shackled in the race
Shield your eyes, hot breath, fine lines; shield your eyes, harness, cut ties

OFFERING
05:35
|
|||
Sweat rivers in the summer sun, she’s gonna be the only one
She’s pure, virgin queen, starves to stay clean
The offering, fill my cup; the offering, fill it up
Writhe in utter bliss, taken over in the velvet mist
Red pools drip crimson heat, flood fast to a filthy creek
Sharp silver on porcelain, part tenderly within
Give in to the luscious deep, drift off to a dreamless sleep
Bacchanalia through and through; it’s gonna be the death of you
Open mouth, bloodbath drain; will you scream for pleasure or pain?

PANDORA
02:12
|
|||
Step off of the ledge, sprint down the hall, thorns in the hedge to break their fall
Butter ‘em up, then slice ‘em down; bust a kneecap, melt those crowns
Then fold up their edges, yeah, file down their teeth to cram in your box until they fit
Until they fit right in
Lock them a cell, fine jewels for chains; choke down the key and choke out the brain
If they scream to be heard, it’s time for the gun; don’t misunderstand, it’s over, they’re done
So fold up the edges, and file down their teeth to cram in your box until they fit
Until they fit right in

EN MEDIAS RES
08:20
|
|||
Drawn to you, feel your pull; in your veins, feel my pain
Find your way to my core; rend my flesh, bow your horns
Sign of the bull, bend to my will
Lost to time, eaten alive; scale these walls, break my fall
Heady spiral take my soul, cause I’ve given up control
Feel hot breath upon my back as the earth renders and cracks
Guess I found what I came here for, such a hollow victory
Reeking of misplaced intentions and long buried memories

MAELSTROM
06:25
|
|||
Straddling the wire, ready to expire
Snake down the thin black line you drew in the sands of time
Maelstrom
Feel the afterglow, been letting the anger grow
I’m eating it up and choking it down; you’re all over this fuckin town
Whisper in your ear, I know your deepest fear
Reading the writing now, you’re gonna scrape and bow
I don’t want your truth, watch as you lick the boot
It’s all gonna fade away, it’s time to kneel and pray
Maelstrom

GOLDEN PAW
05:14
|
|||
Watch the veil between us reflect what we believe
Heard your footsteps falling like rain upon the eaves
Tender claw, golden paw
Thought it was a stranger listening to me, whispering a prayer to feel your heartbeat
Waiting in the ether, I’m no friend of time; you can push in deeper if you can trust the signs
