The Secret 05:12
lyrics
buy track
By the time you finally lose it You may not even know it’s gone In the form of a dark secret Everyone can see it in your eyes Don’t abuse it Don’t tempt the fates Or be dropped from the highest place Forced to play the game At your weakest point Find out just how human you are Suffering a grand delusion Nothing will prepare you for The storm that’s forming like a tumor House of cards well and truly blown Don’t forget them You’re still worthy Cradled at the bottom Nurtured back to life Work has just begun You tortured, now you pay In sober self-reflection

lyrics

Click of the lock Block out the sun Too cold to feel What we have done These broken limbs Can’t take you home These tattered years break you alone Something lost in the way I need more Force an end to this day I need more Always doomed to delay I need more Assuredly certain fate I need more Hands of the clock Dust of the face Bite of the beast Time can’t erase Something lost in the way I need more Force an end to this day I need more Find another way Escape Find another way Escape Always doomed to delay I need more Assuredly certain fate I need more

Can't Comprehend 05:07
lyrics
buy track
Don’t wanna be here Think I should cut and run Don't wanna draw attention to the lack Don’t wanna go there Know I should stay unseen Don’t wanna show my face and turn up empty Small gestures Veiled statements of intent Cold gazes Tension with no outlet Peacocking shamelessly All bark without a bite Line up to get his fill Puppet without a string Amazing, surely not So worth it, I forgot What’s that now, come again Too lost, can’t comprehend Why did I come here There’s nothing for me after all Too meek to fight the pressure mounting What do I do here Too broke to buy my way out Could snip the tension like fraying twine Small gesture Signal to shut the door Time to play Can’t stay silent no more Command does not compute Glitch out in fight or flight Trip up and stumble through More thoughts to haunt at night Amazing, surely not So worth it, I forgot What’s that now, come again Too lost, can’t comprehend Had enough Had enough

Vengeful Morning 05:30
lyrics
buy track
Dawn leaks in again Paralyzed in dread Hand over my mouth Dare I try again Never seems to end The burning and the fear Can’t believe I’m still trapped in this hell Pissing time away, a broken shell Still can’t snuff me out Still can’t force me down Just another vengeful morning Funny how I never say enough Just another vengeful morning Something ancient feeds this poison mouth Just another vengeful morning Funny how you never get enough Something broken spits this venom now Living with mistakes That nothing can erase A self that was blind Lost in time Dictates your life now Funny and macabre Every day a bargain with the beast Have my brain but not my will to be Still a few tricks yet Still life to be lived Just another vengeful morning Funny how I never say enough Just another vengeful morning Something ancient feeds this poison mouth Just another vengeful morning Funny how you never get enough Something broken spits this venom now

Kicked Like A Dog 05:07
lyrics
buy track
An afterthought I leave a trail behind A fog to greet you A trace, a fingertip across your face A veil I reach through Still there, I can see Across the way Self I couldn’t save, true Not in vain Pursue a better way through Some to blame Chance, the greatest scapegoat What to do Life, a losing game at end A shattered mirror to hide the face behind The shards that break you Reality will never compromise if action binds you Still there, I can see Across the way Self I couldn’t save, true Not in vain Pursue a better way through Some to blame Chance, the greatest scapegoat What to do Life, a losing game at end Haven’t you suffered enough Haven’t you suffered enough Haven’t you suffered enough Kicked like a dog, then you’re done

The Perfect Cog 05:33
lyrics
buy track
Clearly aware Dawn brings despair Something burrows in your skull Be not at ease Say no more I’ll be gone Say no more I am gone Say no more Left alone Predestined to be The perfect cog Unable to break free The perfect dog Spite in the air Echoes ring bare A mute affair Us, bored and clean Say no more I am gone Predestined to be The perfect cog Unable to break free The perfect slob

Suffer No Illusion 05:30
lyrics

Pains me to remove Facing mistruths Break Run On and on Endless false starts Pains me to abuse Grating your wounds Break Run On and on Endless false starts Stop Breathe Start again Currents cycling Illusion Illusion Illusion Stepping back inside Fearing what’s to come Break Run On and on Endless false starts Stop Breathe Start again Currents cycling

Each Day The Same 05:26
lyrics
buy track
Is that you there sleeping You’ve worn me down It’s not the time for dreaming I’ve cast those out Things aren’t the same I’m thinking Since you’re around No time for needless faking I’m set to drown The children They wear me out The children They break me down The children They force it out The children I force it down Down Down Is that you there playing Without a sound Is that you there waiting I’ll turn around The process dulls my thinking Down to a stone Each day the same I reckon Any day now The children They wear me out The children They break me down The children They force it out Down
