Her voice was all I felt Her touch, all I heard Making all this thinking Of thoughts so absurd Such imagination Ran throughout my mind Enhanced by warm silence Were the images I grew blind I know that it’s just delusion Formed by my seclusion But I’ll hide in the veil of illusion Til you come down and give me conclusion Come all the way down and give me this fucking conclusion There she lays, with her body safe and sound But she never realized that her mind is something she never found There she lays, with her body safe and sound But she never realized that her mind is something she never found She never realized that her mind was something

Taking what I have lost Not caring I dare you to defy what has been written Tell me if you want it Darlin’, think about me Dark and unfocused Let those thoughts drift over here Hollow crowds and reflections telling me that I’m really not coming back I know you’re trying everything just to show me love but I’m still cracked Minds melt in to one You have forgotten me I would have never betrayed you like this Five pills Start the day My memory Distorts and fades Unstable my thoughts Make me think that it’s all alright Savor this breath It was almost my last one They will be missed Hollow crowds and reflections telling me that I’m really not coming back I know you’re trying everything just to show me love… When the sunlight hits your eyes just right I think about it Maybe I’ll just give you my life. Locking in the medicine that I never needed Can you tell me where it all starts And can you tell me if it will end I told you all of my thoughts I left Behind your defense I can’t ask you to share what’s left of your mortality I’ll ask you what I need and I can hear you say “It’s me” Every syllable from purple lips has me running further away Fearing that a knife will come to life in the very next word that you say Tailor made blankets to offer a false sense of security Becoming the noose that she never intended it to be Violet’s true meaning was never implied Lightening colored glass from the inside Purple mouth, purple heart, purple thoughts in her head Keeping colors at bay only works when you’re dead I hope it hurts you When you hate me I hope you know I’m still I’m still fucked up

Angola 06:07
She reminds me of something I can’t quite remember While you define me as the face of this dark December Keep on staring at a broken mirror. Say that you’re just looking for someone. Now turn and press against me Stop shaking and I’ll wipe away your Tears that bled through I’ll never be dry again Put them in a capsule for you Later I’ll take them Keep on staring at a broken mirror. Say that you’re looking for someone. Now turn and press against me Stop shaking and I’ll… Put the diamonds back on your lashes Clean and rotten too A hand on your waist I comprehend You are now see through Is it me who’s fading Dazing towards this world away Or is it everyone else Turning to a cold cadaver gray Please don’t fade Filled paper Was set on fire I watched your glazed gaze As you respire Funny how this is now All that I require You made the lion lie with the lamb When you tricked the hurry out of time You made the mirth recede completely out of life Ash scabs fell in your hair A month’s snowflakes on the grass Lead me to the Erroneous Conclusion Snared the Truth out of me I can’t feel my heart. Now I’m wondering am I still alive. Will all this panic help me to survive. It seems to be all I've got when you‘re… Dancing in the puddles, and expecting to stay dry Singing over what’s been left as our remains Prying at your dignity with faintly glowing nails I’d love to be around to see what it is that you find But it’s dark and you’re not here anymore Maybe someday you and I will see the same sky I've taken just a little piece of you I don’t matter It has taken me You've got eyes that I seem to swim right through From a held breath and a smile she screamed

Malady 04:15
Civil silence wrapped in my own mind A confrontation of violence worn to sublime It causes faithful. It causes a right. It caused the rainfall you’ll see tonight And you’ll swoon Safe from all the souls you were born to light Drink a brand new hole and you will null this life *Chorus* Sacred cotard watching life It’s all a dispersal Fallen angels bathed in light Sense is universal We’re born to die Celebrate your tragedy Celebrate your tragedy Lose all your insecurities Embrace your malady Come through Do what you’ve always been able to do So many hearts and so few eyes Only one ear and fewer minds Come through Come through *Chorus*
5.
Eyes from above us Came circling down And I've never seen before The total ground I just stay in awe Of what’s all around *Chorus* I’ll be buried in the sky And generous to all the earth when I die This body seems to Belong to all of you A sovereign day Is sure to ensue *Chorus*

Unconscious slurs open a day A place you've never been But plenty people have stayed In this place, convinced of sin Keep me here with you and Do try to listen I’ll say what you do Never see the light you dim Caged razors in your mouth Past the one on your face Chew on at the void I fear And the sound behind me Came directly from above The touch on my eyes Lets me see through your transparent lies I’m doused in a truth I know That will guide me to eternity Fueled by what it’s done So sure you would've known And we wonder how you could ever run from A presence so loud Yet you still don’t hear What you think is from your head And inspired by the fear Watch their modest steps forward then Watch their colossal leap back from A presence so loud Yet you still don’t hear What you think is from your head And inspired by fear You fell from your place Derived a hole out of the cold You fell from your place I never thought I’d see the beauty in the future I never thought I’d see the beauty in forever
