Familiar Shelter 01:49

Stalking my wandering senses, once residents Now evicted, the sickness is spreading by the wind Toward a familiar shelter I’m coming home

Periodic Intrusion 02:50
lyrics

Burn the barren home that contains Fragments of my shattered life behind thin walls The memory remains in the aftermath of flames Scathing and waiting For my regular invasion to take me down Smothered under shallow soil now That's all to me Temporary shelter underground I'm just waiting out Transient like joy An effect like sleeping pills Drowsiness can remain Keep swallowing Keep swallowing It will always be foreign to me Like a window, the visitor grants me one breeze For my intense relief Feeling the torture of withdrawal reminds me Who I used to be Help me Please help me I never thought I'd let it inside I never thought I'd let it return Like a window, the visitor grants me one breeze For my intense relief Feeling the torture of withdrawal reminds me Who I used to be

Brittle Walk 02:42
lyrics

Nothing prepared me for this engagement Strangled, nothing allowed me to breathe Now that I'm watching you prepare your grave Insisting you've always been this way I know damage was done Mistakes were made Treading my brittle path while remembering what I've done Standing my fragile ground while remembering what I’ve lost Stranded in shadows of overseeing trees, remembering Dwelling on who I was but not remembering who I am I'm the lightless sun Draining skies like you've become I can't feel the ground beneath me

Another Place 03:31
lyrics
buy track
Promises warrant an endless delay Impatient, I beg an escape No sight of flesh depleting Will level with the agony it brings Words and witness misinterpret The pain that follows realization Pain Impatient, I beg an escape An escape to another place So worn, I've become The feeling that these fractures levy Has finally caught up to me Not a single emotion breathes When steering a warning I've betrayed my destiny Be the silence in the sound Be the shimmer in the river Segregate yourself from a tempting crowd And follow the message I deliver Escape to another place Leave

December, pass Gloom, come last I don't know what to hope So this is how I'll cope Searching for my son Burdened by this want God, before I let this rest Please give me another chance Gone so fast A disappearing trend This is the end

Disconsolate 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Captivity is the only state That memory never degrades A familiar tormenting grip Held me at the peak of despair Loneliness and dismay Refreshing disconsolate embrace My confidants have left me cold and distant Basking in a needle pit I feel the prod of every end Summon prodigies from this grief to transform me Streams of passion Flowing under translucent skin Bleaching red The intense craving was urgent Hastily assuming position Desperately putting an end A familiar tone to slow my dread Slow my dread I'm still standing void of a spine Inside my hollow body, a home for noise Tempting me into spontaneity To transform me Loneliness and dismay Refreshing disconsolate embrace My confidants have left me cold and distant Basking in a needle pit I feel the prod of every end Summon prodigies from the grief To transform me The intense craving was urgent Hastily assuming position Desperately putting an end A familiar tone to slow my dread

Surrendered Passages 03:16
lyrics

Empty casings crowding nests The exhausted nests Desperately inviting remaining larvae that I find A film of insects coats my stomach My weakened stomach Feeding on the lining Scavengers surrounding Harvest my body I host a frantic feast of flesh My flesh, internal feed for pests Feeble pores and open orifices For starving maggots, surrendered passages Frequently, I crave an infestation To substance, I'm a slave Surrender my body Harvest me Scavengers patrolling Praying for an injury Waiting for a mistake Harvest my body Scavengers surrounding Patiently waiting Wounded, I'm succumbing Harvest my body Surrender my body Harvest me Empty casings crowding nests The exhausted nests Desperately inviting remaining larvae that I find Frequently, I crave an infestation To substance, I'm a slave Surrender my body Surrender

Shift 04:48
lyrics

Seldom, blank desires abandoned Lost in the sudden and never resting storms Desperation wasn't known by the flood That stripped verdant land And took from bleeding hands So sell your final wishes, prepare Coaxed in a current Fighting the force, hopeless Leave with your desperate mind It isn't worth this life And when you're stranded You will watch me float away I know you will scream your prayers You know I will not hear them in the end I will not hear you in the end So sell your final wishes and prepare Seldom, blank desires abandoned Lost in the sudden and never resting storms Desperation wasn't known by the flood So sell your final wishes, prepare Coaxed in a current Fighting the force, hopeless Leave with your desperate mind It isn't worth this life And when you're stranded You will watch me float away I know you will scream your prayers You know I will not hear them So sell your final wishes and prepare Binge in silence as it bears a solitary lend Bleak, the loneliness and starving for an end Now, you're left with only eyes Sightless to rebuilding all that we created But still seeing all that we hate

The End of Pain 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Inspired, a man holds the power to grow In the garden of passion and potential But he still directs his endeavors to find Solace in the shadows that were left behind A vent in whisper fails to be heard Only a scream expresses buried trauma through words Father, I'm searching for the end of pain Failure, the feeling is the same It's all the same So take your concerns And take my advice In the wake of my abandonment, I forgave I was no human but a nomad So I wandered And here I am Face me like a man His decay coincides with the broken life You never let revive Now, gather what you failed to learn A whisper is always left ignored Father, I'm searching for the end of pain Failure, the feeling is the same It's all the same

Shipwreck Debris of my strength Scattered Sprawled on land with broken limbs I shovel sand My stomach groans for nourishment To cure the aftermath Scattered Sprawled on land with broken limbs I shovel sand Familiar scraps of a wreck A sickness I never had This cure is needed With broken limbs, I shovel sand To cure the aftermath Toward a familiar shelter I'm coming home I'm home I am home My stomach groans for nourishment To cure the aftermath Scattered Sprawled on land with broken limbs I shovel sand Familiar scraps of a wreck A sickness I never had This cure is needed With broken limbs, I shovel sand To cure the aftermath

Until the Sunrise 03:38
lyrics

-In memory of Matthew Clarkson- Find me, a body succeeding the night When agony escaped with this life The cloak that smothered my surface relieved The tears in my skin will finally bleed Deliver my pain to those who knew me You'll only feel it when it's too late I shouted in need I screamed a warning You left it unseen But you’ll see it in the morning When it's too late “I really feel like just saying, 'Fuck it,’ and plugging my head with a .45” These words will not be taken seriously until the sunrise Deliver my pain to those who knew me You'll only feel it when it's too late Don't ask me the questions I've already explained I can't repeat the answers through a grave I can't Find me, an image of regret Find me when it's too late Framed as the portrait you forgot to paint Find me when it's too late Crowding disposals of memory Find me when it's too late You'll only know my pain when it's too late The decision I made solidified your mistake To misinterpret the state I was in You claim I mislead by a positive face Well, I deceived, and don't even pretend you believed me It’s too late
