Evermore
Tear into me, Embrace your hate, Strike me down from my throne
You placed me upon this pedestal, I willingly stood by with patience
Waiting for you to take me down and throw my heart to the ground
Instead you walked away, How the fuck could you do this to me
You left me a broken, useless man without the ability to stand
Inside my own kingdom, I am drowning beneath your memory
This crown weighs heavy, Your heart drags me down evermore
Come back to me, So I can break you down and end this now
I could never be satisfied with indifference, Pick your side...

Death; An Addiction (Part 4)
Together, They come to me in a vision, My body is frozen in time and my mind is so numb
“Drop the pills, bro, This isn’t the way to go, Drop the razors, babe, You know I forgave you the day I stopped breathing”
Screaming silence, I beg to move forward and embrace them, But I come alive and find I am alone
I should be stoned by these angels, Instead they adorn me with gold and wisdom, Why the fuck am I so important
They stab each other in the back to move up a step, A stairway to nowhere, Clawing at each other’s throats to improve our position with the devil
We revel...

Death; An Addiction (Part 3)
Every politician uses these deaths to their advantage, “What a tragedy, We will make changes if you elect me”
Horsheshit, Of course you’d say that, You need our money as much as you need the youth to fall and trip on relapses
Another teenager struggling with a bottle decides to run off a roof, The parents place blame on everyone while his friends beg for proof
Speak up, Make your voice heard, Scream until your voice is numb, We must prevent these pointless deaths
I see my brothers walk in front of me, Ushering me forwards off a cliff, Not for revenge but for the longing...

Death; An Addiction (Part 2)
I see your faces in every reflection of the bottle, How could vices lead to a vice grip on my soul
Every shard of glass contains your memory, What can I do and where can I go to escape you
I never want to, I want you, Come back or take me with you, Truth is I’m plagued with survivor’s guilt
I don’t want this pity, Rip it from me and tear out my eyes, To prevent me from crying at your memory tonight
Every radio station and mother’s brother and monkey’s uncle speaks of another fallen soldier
I don’t mean military personnel, I mean another teenager torn from home to...

Death; An Addiction (Part 1)
I am reminded of death daily, The constant struggle is no relief to this natural endgame
You only live once, Shit I know, We’re born alone and we die alone, Fuck we’re left to roam
Broken homes throw broken sons into the arms of tortured daughters and we’re meant to thrive
Blood is shed before sanity is ever restored, Doors are always shut and never opened when we die
I see my companions in every mirror and passing glance into polished glass, They smile back at me
I pray to never see them beside me, I pray for them to be beside me, I can’t take being away
They...

Legacy of A Martyr
My dream became my nightmare, Day became night, Darkness become my light
Upon my arm, I painted a mural of the angel’s falling, Bled out again today
Upon my heart, I painted a mural of the demon’s command, Still my hand stays
I have lost what I believed to be forever mine, My eyes are opened for the first time
Believe in me, For my faith is shattered with my stained glass shelter
Trust in me, For my doubt is overshadowed by my lust for questions
Leave me behind, For my knees are broken with the words I write
Leave my memories, For my legacy is unbecoming of a...

Seeking Escape
I remember every morning but never the night before
I remember every line and shot and hit and whore
I remember every bruise but never the fight past
I remember every deathly day I swore was my last
This was not who I was to become, This was not the man I struggled to create
The background faded away, The proof of truth corroded with fading lines
A coward breaks beneath the weight of his cross, His crown of thorns weighs heavy
He prays to be released, He seeks escape, Afraid of his own past, A shame to himself
I rationalized every failure with...

A Monument To Self-Preservation
Today I ponder life, What’s beyond the bottle and the knife
Is there being beyond pain, Is there an existence beyond agony
I have felt the touch of death and the stab of love
I have felt the peace in death and the war in love
I have been alive for what seems like forever, I can no longer die
Giving in was an option for so long, I was always weak and never strong
I wanted to know what was wrong with me, I wanted to know my true fight
I burned through friendships and family bonds, Pleading for freedom through rage
Still the chains remained, Still the rage...

Something to Forget
Upon the ground you were found
Upon the stones you were home
A lighthouse to guide the way
A lighthouse to guide me astray
A tyrant to my heart, I welcomed you with open arms
I sat you down, “I drown without your life tonight”
You took my hand, “I understand, but let me go”
I knew nothing, A child with something to forget
I still cherish every picture you took, You look so innocent
I still cherish every word I took, I shook so violently
That night you ran away, You said nothing, Only fled
You were all I had, You’re all the same, You left...

My Devices
How could you forgive me, This should have been ended
You allowed me to continue my games and my lies
You should have let me run away, Now I’ll never get away
I am destined to forever break you down, Drowning in sin
You’ve known me your whole life, You claim to know my exploits
You know nothing of my sinful ways, You know nothing of my sinful days
I have given you a glimpse into my life of debauchery
Still you stay, Still you forgive, Get away, I can no longer live with this
I will burn this house to the fucking ground, Leaving no chance of escape...

Cathedral of Drowning Souls
This cathedral is only magnificent when you lie beneath the falling stained glass
Bent knees and folded hands, Crucifix crumbling and rosary rumbling
The confessional is thrown open, Secrets flew with quivering wings
The steeple remains standing, Angels land to take me from beneath the falling glass
They can’t lift me, My burdens have held me down, They fly away weeping
Under the roof of this holy sanctuary, A thousand years of lives pass by my eyes
I see the lies, The cries, The pleas, The crimson seas, The seasons of darkened days
The pews are thrown back...

War
A thousand years of slumber, This sleeping giant is deemed irrelevant
The world around it changes and morphs and forgets its name
Monuments are torn down, Walls are formed then knocked down
Doors are unlocked, Windows are open, A false sense of security surrounds us
A thousand years of peace, This beast of war is put to sleep
Chained to the ground, We believed in safety and lived our lives accordingly
No longer would we live in fear, No longer would we bow in tears
Still it breaths, Still it feels, Still it sees, Still it lives on inside us all
