"No Resurrection"

"No Resurrection"



I wanted to save you
Give breath that escaped you
But you stayed down (stayed down)
To resuscitate you
Breath my breath back into you
You stayed out (stayed out)

I wanted to shake you
To scream to awaken you
You stayed down (stayed out)

In your slumber you saw everything
Everything but me

Why must we stop?
Why must we stop now?
Why must you crush our glow?
Don't you know that heaven is slow?
Don't remake our heaven

I wanted to save us
Wept words that escaped us
But you stayed out (You shut them out)
I fell down to face you
To find you were wakeful
And you'd forced me out, I'm nothing now

In your slumber you saved everything
Everything but me

Why must we stop?
Why must we stop now?
Why must you crush our glow?
Don't you know that heaven is slow?
Don't remake our heaven

Why must we stop?
Why must we stop now?
Why must you crush our glow?

Don't you know that heaven is slow?
Don't erase our heaven

"Now The World"

"Now The World"


Summer I painted, a scene, that lit the stars for me,
Said, "I can erase it for you dear."
That summer created, those words, that came to life in three,
They were denied by you.
Summer I laid down, below, the glitter adorned night,
And silently sparkled, my own way.
Summer I laid down, by you, and shared my frail light,
You gave the dark to me.
(You gave the dark to me)

[Chorus:]
I looked inside,
(I)
To find,
(Wanted)
The one I sent away.
(To excoriate)
I nearly froze, when I stepped inside,
(I)
To find,
(Thrive on)
The flowers turned to Grey.
(This self-mutilation)
I closed my eyes, and kissed them one last time.

Oh.

Summer a morning, so pale, alone when they found me,
As I remained sleeping, I heard them say,
"This summer created, a boy, of abject misery."
He was designed by you.
(He was designed by you)

[Chorus]

So like a lost child,
I will hide.
(Now the World)
And like lost lie,
I will find.
(Now the World)

Find a way to return to the ones who made me,
Cover your eyes and we'll die together.

Will you cry for me,
Will you cry for me,
Or will you cry with me?

Will you cry for me,
Will you cry for me,
Or will you cry with me?

Will you cry for me,
(I've been a lonely one)
Will you cry for me,
(I've had this whole world)
Or will you die with me?
(Drained from me)

Will you cry for me,
(Am I the only one)
Will you cry for me,
(I've had this world)
Or will you die with me?
(Drained from me, drained from me.)

Summer I painted, a scene, that lit the stars for me,
Said, "I can erase it for you dear."

"Ny-Quil"

"Ny-Quil"



Sleep. I want to stay in bed all throughout the day, no one bother me.
I don't wanna open my eyes.
I'll lie here in my room. I have no need to see.
No one wake me, I just want to stay right bed.
No one move me, I just want to lie right here, right in my warm bed,
because I don't want to see tomorrow.
Here I am so happy, so just leave me be.
I just want to stay.
I do not bother you, so don't you touch me.
Get the fuck away!

"Of Greetings And Goodbyes"

"Of Greetings And Goodbyes"



Now ending discreetly, just like a hidden sin,
as I go under please tuck me in.
Make me invisible.
This hidden explosion calls for a wandering cast with no direction.
Enter all monsters let us twist another fairy tale.
Go kill the lights, we'll glow till morning comes.
I'll say goodnight and bow to everyone.
Then we go under.
The beauties are sleeping as fruit just rots away.
Today go hungry.
Let it begin.
Make me invincible.
There was a weeping I carried down today, a sigh worth keeping.
Deep within divinity let's star another secret show.
No need to worry it is just another monster.
No need to fear here in the secret show.
No need to worry I am just another monster.
In you, I'll see me, in the secret show.

"OK, I Feel Better Now"

"OK, I Feel Better Now"


There is nothing to me
There is nothing, though there was a time
I had felt elation
Before all sensation died
I cannot breathe
I can't deny
That I've been feigning, for you, every vital sign
Defied

This means nothing to me
This means nothing, so spare me the lies
I deny you sympathy
Just as I have been denied
I cannot breathe
I can't deny
That I've been faking, for you, every sign of life
I died

For the last lie
And the heartbreak
For the first time
I could not take
I could not take
'Til I made you cry

This is what you taught me
This is what you taught, and I learned well
To recognize that feeling
Easily can be dispelled
I cannot breathe
I can't deny
That I've been faking, for you, every sign of life
I died

For the last lie
And the heartbreak
For the first time
I could not take
I could not take
'Til I made you cry

Show your wounds I'm bored with mine
Nothing is new
Don't despair, I rarely cry
Oh my

Oh my, dear, please dry your eyes
Who could harm you?
To hurt you is to be despised
As I'd love to

For the last lie
And the heartbreak
For the first time
I could not take
I could not take
'Til I made you cry

'Til I made you cry [x3]

"On The Arrow"

"On The Arrow"



He said, "Who truly belongs here?"
Not I she said, I'll lie here with you
He knows no one shines forever
They change with the weather

He said, "I've now stayed too long here"
Good bye she said, I'll wait here for you
He knows the winds carry sorrow
As they leave she'll follow
They leave tomorrow

Fragments of joy torn apart
A freshly drained heart that beats
Disguise themselves through him
He'll say that it's nothing new
And swear this is true,
for you, I'll swallow the ocean

I'll swallow the ocean

He said, "Who truly belongs here?"
Not I she said, I'll lie here to you
I know the sorrow is sacred
And I'll never break you
I'll softly save you

Fragments of joy torn apart
A freshly drained heart that beats
Disguise themselves through him
He'll say that it's nothing new
And swear this is true,
for you, I'll swallow the ocean

I'll swallow the ocean

"Over Exposure"

"Over Exposure"



I have seen ten roses bleed,
seen new petals fall,
I have felt my soul tear.
I have felt nothing at all.
Watched what was vibrant
fade as shadows fall.
I can see it's been done,
all that was pure has been eradicated.
I can see, it's all done.
Nothing can erase the damage done.
I have seen ten liars love,
seen two lovers lie,
seen youth, blinded, smiling.
I have seen deceit handed down.
From the highest height, below the lowly.
I can see it's been done,
all that was pure has been eradicated.
I can see, it's all done.
Nothing can erase the damage done.
I have seen beasts bathed in glory,
tread across the angels as they crawl.
Take it all away.
Regress to nothing.
Can someone please take
these images from my mind?

"Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings)"

"Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings)"



Raise high monolithic statues so fragile as they fall
I am ever enthralled
Gaze, lie and smirk in time, your arrogance will suit you well
'Til fashion is dispelled

As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
You're going out, going out forever unknown
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)
You're going out, going out forever unknown
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unkown)

From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

Without habitation, you'll never find a soul inside
No life, but nothing's died
No lights, but quite the show (Just as long as no one ever knows
All motion is pantomime)

As waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
You're going out, going out forever unknown
These waves of plastic fame go out of fashion
(These waves of plastic fame are drying up and I smile)
You're going out, going out forever unknown
(Because you're dying to become forever unknown, unkown)

From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn

Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing on your grave, I'll see you all falling
Dancing in the rain of descending ash
Dancing in your dust, I'll see you all falling
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)
I'd stop it, had you a heart (your heart)

From above a rain of ashes descends
Anathema I will remain, forever will remain
From below, in my seclusion
Look up to the sky to see paper wings and watch them burn
