The Shackles
My present is the only remnant of a life lived so hatefully
My present is the only remnant of a life lived so safely
I’m doing my best to move on from this hopeless town
But today, I realized that the town isn’t what’s holding me back
My heart is getting heavier, I never knew my bones could weigh this much
My feet are filled with lead, When I wish my head was filled with the same
The thoughts are raging, The demons are pacing, I’m so worn out and beat down
I decided to try to stand, But I stood too quickly and my head is spinning
An answer must be...

Cathedral of Blood and Glass
Face the fear within me, Face the fire raging inside
Face the traitor within me, Face the ice burning inside
Cure the disease within me, Plague my heart with hatred
Cure the indecision within me, Plague my heart with resolve
You are the one, The only, The hope, The monument to self
You are I, One with me, Completing and so deceiving
You are the love, The hate, The peace, The war with self
You or I, One must die, Complete and splitting even
A separate heart, Still you beat within me a bruise worth noticing
A separate soul, Still you chill within me...
Face the traitor within me, Face the ice burning inside
Cure the disease within me, Plague my heart with hatred
Cure the indecision within me, Plague my heart with resolve
You are the one, The only, The hope, The monument to self
You are I, One with me, Completing and so deceiving
You are the love, The hate, The peace, The war with self
You or I, One must die, Complete and splitting even
A separate heart, Still you beat within me a bruise worth noticing
A separate soul, Still you chill within me...

Your Final Act
This ache within me, It stirs an emotion I know not
Without a name, Without a face or certain symptom
It crawls within me, Turns within me, Rages within me
It tortures my heart, And will forever take me home
This is home, This pain and numbing throb that takes control
This hell, I feel so calm inside myself, With my demons beside me
As they scream louder, I feel my heartbeat slow to a stop
As they take me down lower, I feel my eyes shut slowly
To be alone, Is to be ashamed of who I am when I am dead
My broken soul is set to leave, Waving goodbye...

The Sunrise
One day we’ll wake up to the sunrise, And we’ll feel the heat upon our skin
We’ll put our hand up to our heart, And we’ll feel the purpose return inside
One day we’ll wake up to the sunrise, And we’ll feel the love upon our skin
We’ll put our hand up to another heart, And we’ll feel the pulse return in them
The love will return, The grace will be restored, The faith will be refilled endlessly
We need no god to tell us who we are, We need no god for our heart to be filled
We need another’s love, Another’s trust, Another’s hope, Another’s faith
The love will...

Your Treasure
I’m not tired of being alive, I’m tired of never being dead
I’m not tired of being here, I’m tired of never being there
I’m not tired of being hurt, I’m tired of never feeling a thing
I’m not tired of being me, I’m tired of never being you
I can’t wait for you, You never waited for me
I can’t hope with all I am that you’ll hope I’ll survive
I can’t consume all I am to give you my everything
This love wasn’t made to be, It was made to be broken
We were destined for each other, For each other to be slaughtered inside
You swear our souls belong...

I Promise
How can I forget how to fear, When I’ve lived my life cowering in every corner
How can I forget how to hate, When I’ve lived my life covered in pure hatred
How can I forget how to spite, When I’ve lived my life covering you in malice
How can I forget the ruins, When I’ve lived my life crumbling beneath the sun
I don’t want to wait forever to change, But how do I begin today better than yesterday
I don’t want to wait forever to love, But how do I begin by loving the demon in me
I don’t want to wait forever to be with you, But how do I begin to overcome myself
I...

Curtain Call
I’ll never be who I was when I was with you
How lucky am I, That you betrayed me
How lucky am I, That you hate me
I’ll never be what I was when I was with you
You threw me away, At the cost of a dollar sign and another foolish man
Was he the better man, Did he give you so much more
You threw me away, At the cost of a broken heart and another foolish night
Was it worth it, Losing me to gain nothing but my regret
I know you’ll regret it, I know you’ll come crawling back to me one day
You’ll be so sorrowful, So forgetful, So pathetic, You’ll bow down...

This Lullaby
This numb holds to my jaw like your eyes to my eyes
Keeping my words oh so cold inside my burning throat
What would I give to open my mouth and shout this out
I would give the breath inside my lungs, and my blackened soul
Tear this out from my chest, This apathy and foolish indifference
Tear this out from my mouth, This curse and ignorant plea
Tear this out from my hand, This heart and reckless abandon
Tear this out from my mind, This hope and prayer of a better day
This hourglass clings to my eyes, My voice is drowning in the sand
I’ve shouted...
Keeping my words oh so cold inside my burning throat
What would I give to open my mouth and shout this out

Our Lips
Give me the strength I need, To love you through everything
Give me the hope I need, To live again through anything
Give me the faith I need, To live through every pain
Give me the the heart I need, To love you forever and a day
A fool, A liar, A sinner, A killer of saints and every hope inside
I am the darkest of souls, The purest of devils without a doubt
A monster, A pariah, A soldier, A killer of angels and every courage they hold
I am the darkest of hearts, The purest of demons that ever existed
Everything I touch turns to gold,...
Give me the hope I need, To live again through anything

An Angel
I’ve never known what to say, To make this all okay
I’ve never known what to be, To make this all pass by
I’ve never known what to let go, To make me live another day
I’ve never known what to keep, To make me live another way
I’ve seen my life burn down a thousand times, Outside my eyes
Though my eyes were opened, My hands were tied to my sides
Your hands held mine, Through a ghostly chill and an unknown feeling
As I looked beside me, I can still see you standing there
I feel so hollow, So broken, So bent, So far away from your warm embrace
I’m so...

Twenty Years
Steal the breath in my lungs, To escape the clutch of a darker day
A hopeless life lived so hopelessly devoted to hope and all its lies
Steel the heart in my chest, To escape the pain of a brighter day
A broken life lived so brokenly devoted to love and all its truth
Haunted forever by these fading memories of the passerby
A thousand bystanders and not one stopped to say goodbye
Am I forever destined to be unseen and unheard and unaided
Or am I forever biding my time, Waiting for you to come back
Never follow in my footsteps, I’ve seen too many try...

In The End
In the end, When everyone forgets my name
In the end, When everyone forgets my face
In the end, When my legacy is nothing but a memory
In the end, When all the scars heal and fade away
Will I be dead and buried, Without a breath or hope inside
Or will I be alive and well, Buried beneath the weight of my choices
Because I feel I’m going insane, With no one to call me sane
I feel my hands shaking evermore, With my demons calling my name
Every single day that I found my way out of my hell
I knew I would find my way back home to the flames ...
