Cold cuts to the bone
Crystals form on the skin exposed
Muscles burn against the layered wool
Sweat soaked, heaving breath with fingers froze
Another mile more
These limbs are tired, these limbs are slow
Push against the frigid wind
You're at the door, you're at the end
This was the escape to trade the lull of the same shit for a new kind of shame
I've never felt more alive or alone
So unprepared
So hopeless
There's no turning back
We have gone to far
Life comes at a cost
This is what you are owed
Powder coated conversations with no meaning
Choking smoke, keep reaching
You may recognize the face
The stupid joke or the old cliche
But it's better than the old way
Born to die in the same place
I don't want to live forever
I just want to see the world
I don't want to live forever
I just want to know there's more
Peel away the perceived, the assumption
Privilege you deny, set aside
A choice to separate, this is a statement
Folly for a fool, so hopeless
There's no turning back
We have gone to far
Life come's at a cost
This is what you deserve

Dark Runner

Clandestine curses, twisted verses
Growing fear in idle minds
The endless crisis, our devices
They observe, the constant eye
Tools of the unseen masters
Willful slaves, useless bastards
They smile as we tear ourselves apart
Is it hard to believe?
The instinctive reaction to write off what your own eyes see
We are born to obey
We are sheep just trained to feed
Further down the hole we go
Time keeps ticking away, it's only getting worse
Apathy is a cancer, just wait your turn
We live, we serve, we reproduce
We buy the myth that we choose
Chained to our dated systems
Blind to the true agenda
We won't know until it's done
You won't know until you're gone
One by one they'll take us
Stripped down in the street , torn from our homes
Loaded up in cattle cars
Cataloged and filed
One by one
Is it hard to believe?
The instinctive reaction to write off what your own eyes see
We are born to obey
We are sheep just trained to feed
Further down the hole
Further down we go
One by one they'll take us
one by one by one by one
Born into enslavement
Born to Serve
They smile as we tear ourselves apart
Is it hard to believe?
The instinctive reaction to write off what your own eyes see
We are born to obey
We are sheep just trained to feed

Little Nooses

Drown me in the feeling I don't need to care at all
There is no meaning in the void
We're better off alone
Tied off little nooses
Into self induced confusion
Wash away the old
We're better off
Self indulgent, spineless, righteous
Well composed, burnt by both ends
Carving out a name
Digging the grave
Peel back the skin, expose the rot
We can hide in the shadows away from sun
Eyes pried wide
The terrifying sights we hide
The horror of our own
Catatonic repetition
Beg for sleep, an intermission
Just tie the knot
We're better off
God won't speak to me
I am loathsome
I am the end complete
Peel back the skin, expose the rot
We can hide in the shadows away from the sun.

Something Else

Bare with me
I've never had a one and only
I've wasted a while or more
It's a sorry excuse I know
I'm coming apart at the seams
The old facade of a misanthropic savant give ways to parallel existence
The wordless moment
Share with me the silence
By your side
Turn out the lights and hold me close
We can sleep forever
We've got the time
We can sleep forever
Turn out the lights
I've done wrong
I've been a cynic for far too long
I've worn out the part
I don't even know myself
A fool enough to care for someone else
I'm a sorry excuse you know
But we grow together
I'm better than the old me
By your side in a new place
The endearing, you endure me
I'll probably ruin the moment
You've seen the worst or more
The endearing, you endure me
I've taken my time
I'm coming home
