The Sun Undefeated

Your morning never came
And every cycle, more or less the same
Between the Sun and the Moon you got to keep the flow
And continue
I float around with a smile
I want to make it seem as I am still alive
Lay down your wings
Rest them, out all the while
You tell me a lie
What in the world you doing there
You got to know, I am not going anywhere
I am the rain
Signals to brain
Precipitate

Wide-open Little Heart

You know I have hidden agenda
Repeat offender
Human pretender
We know you got to run
Now we got another contender
Human resenter
God I feel the way the world has gone
The way it's pulled you down
My wide-open little heart
Gone
Faded away
I got a reason to stay
Too many reasons to go away
And anywhere you want me to
I meet you there
I am your servitude
It's getting way too late
It's too dark
Too dark to find your way outta there
From your heart
And you think you're so damn smart
Hiding there
I gained great distance
The altitude
I got so high above the clouds
And I can say
I got a reason to stay
Too many reasons to go away
And anywhere you want me to
I meet you there
I am your servitude
You want to stay for the show
And all you hear is you got to go
Behold the distance from sun to moon
Enjoy your solitude
It's getting way too late
It's too dark
Too dark to find your find your way outta there
From your heart
Got a reason to stay
And go away
I want to stay
And go away
Got a reason to stay
And go away
I want to stay

This is a wall to wall mind refine
Answer to your feelings
Like you wanted to tame that beast
Ram passed the beautified pile of lies
Ones you keep believing
Like you wanted to tame that beast
What if
I said
You're better off
Playing dead
Save your
Warhead
For your perfect enemy
Instead
You are the firewall behind my mind
Incinerate my feelings
Like you wanted to burn that beast
Ram passed the suicidal mind of mine
One I keep on feeding
Like I even care if it's dead
What if
I said
You're better off
Playing dead
Save your
Warhead
For your perfect enemy
What if
I said
You're better off
Playing dead
Save your
Warhead
For your perfect enemy
Instead

Run Myself to Ground
03:09
|

Paint a scene from memory
Where you and I were meant to be
If I could turn the tide
Are you sure you want me to?
This is what you let inside your head
This is what you let inside your head
This is what you let inside your
Are you sure you want me to?
You and I were meant to be
Someone else’s tragedy
If I could emphasize
I would do without you
This is what you let inside your head
This is what you let inside your head
This is what you let inside your
Are you sure you want me to?
Are you sure you want me to?
I don’t need your fantasy
Your revelation atrophy
I know how to spot a lie
Are you sure you want me to?
This is what you let inside your head
This is what you let inside your head
This is what you let inside your
This is my plea for help
An imitation cry
Why would I want to come around?
I’d rather run myself to ground
I’d rather run myself to ground
I’d rather run myself to ground

And here I thought I was someone special
You made me think like this
As if I would be the one and only
Worth more than a piss
Fuck me from all directions
Fuck me all the way
You feed on my affection
Every day
Show me your hate
Show me your hate
Your insecurity
Taste of impurity
Lift me up
Just to drop me down
I suck it up
Until I drown
Fuck me from all directions
All the way
You feed on my affection
Every day
Fuck me from all directions
All the way
I get lost in your reflections
Every day
And here I thought I was someone special
You made me think like this
As if I would be the one and only
Worth more than a piss
And here I thought I was someone special
You made me think like this
As if I would be the one and only
Worth more than a piss
Worth more than a piss
Worth more than a piss
Worth more than a piss
Worth more than a piss
Fuck me from all directions
All the way
You feed on my affection
Every day
Fuck me from all directions
All the way
I get lost in your reflections
Every day

Signals

You pass the buck, you pass the blame
You like to think you know how to play this game
We know who you are
Signals we send goes wide, through, and far
I've been waiting for someone like you
I've been waiting for someone like you
To show me what not to do
Show me what not to do
We like to think you're not innocent
Pointing your finger out to condescend
Signals we send goes into your heart
We truly know what on Earth you really are
I've been waiting for someone like you
I've been waiting for someone like you
I've been waiting for someone like you
I've been waiting for
You pass the buck, you pass the blame
Thoughts in our head are all the same
I've been waiting for someone like you
Go for the rest, go tell them what to do
What to do
Now that you got to my hidden agenda
Thoughts in your head run through a blender
I'm gonna take this way too far
Signals to the brain, we blast them to the stars

Don't Look Down
03:22

Fear
The neverending cycle of your rage
You turn the page
You take the stage
You make the mountain of your cage
Keep climbing up your hate
Keep climbing up your hate
Keep climbing up your hate
Keep climbing
And don't look down
Just don't look down
Don't look down
Keep me alive
Sing me a lie
Keep alive
And tell me a lie
Fake
They never really love you anyway
Go seize the day
You got nothing more to say
Keep climbing up your hate
Keep climbing up your hate
From dust to clay
Keep climbing
And don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down
Don't look down

Noise of the Living

Name
I got it right here on my spirit
It's all that I have
After I've faced
All my woes and fears
Hate
I heard enough hate from my heart
I know that you have
So much more
Got so many wonders to share
And I engage above the noise of the living
So many circular reasons to keep you alive
(tell me a lie)
And I embrace the noise
The noise of the living
I know you're out there
Hiding out somewhere
Friend
What happened along your way?
You can't tell the night from the day
They're growing shorted and fading away
War
Not much fight in me any longer
I've walked through the door
Truth through the windpipe
Howling my wind in the air
And I engage above the noise of the living
So many circular reasons to keep you alive
And I embrace the noise
The noise of the living
I know you're out there
Hiding out somewhere
Friend
What happened along your way?
You can't tell the night from the day
They're growing shorted and fading away
War
Would you let the weight off your shoulders?
Come walk through the door
Truth through your windpipe
Howling your wind in the air
And I engage above the noise of the living
So many circular reasons to keep you alive
And I embrace the noise
The noise of the living
I know you're out there
Hiding out somewhere

My Friend

Hey man
How does it feel to come back home
To house of your son and daughter grown to hate you?
Father
Does it hurt to hear them scream?
You're holding your head below the water while you dream
Waters
How does it weight
To carry around between your shoulders everyday?
Hey man
Your angel has failed
Remade your past to push you through
All the way
I never thought I could see you, my friend
Yet we're here again
With a song to sing — and the walls are listening
This night we sing, we dance for who we really are
Every breath we take, we fake
For it's a sin when we have you watching
I know how you used to hold your head up high
And with the audience — no pretense
You forgot how and why
And this world out there — the world of deceived
You got to push back — to the edge
It's all they perceive
And when you go
Go to moon and beyond
Give it all you got
More than not
Make them believe
I never thought I could see you, my friend
Yet we're here again
With a song to sing — and the walls are listening
This night we sing, we dance for who we really are
Every breath we take, we fake
For it's a sin when we have you watching

Ashes of Your Making
03:40

What do you do when all the tables have been turned?
Who do you blame after all the homes you've burned?
You gonna warm your feet in the ashes of your making?
You gonna stand right there with that smile you're faking?
Got a revelation for you all
You get too high and you fall
You float around like an angel
Six feet up and over
We welcome you down here
To your grave
Clay based earth face is to god damn tough to dig
When I'm done with this I might as well throw myself in it
Cause in the end of it all, we're there to stare down the line of time
I see it crashing down on your head
Like a war crime
Got a revelation for you all
You get too high and you fall
You float around like an angel
Six feet up and over
We welcome you down here
To your grave

We Disappear
03:36

This is the day
This is the minute when our worlds separate
We're gonna go the other way
I never wanted to see the light of this new day
But here we are anyway
We hold the line
We hold The Field
Stone armor on top
It's your shield
You taught us a lot
While you were here
And even more so now
While we disappear
This is the day
This is the minute when our worlds separate
We're gonna go the other way
I never wanted to see the light of this new day
But here we are anyway
Daddy's not here
Daddy's not there
We're kind of all everywhere
Blown to million pieces
Scattered in the air
In the rain
Signals to the brain
