Whenever Richard Cory went down town
We people on the pavement looked at him
He was a gentleman from sole to crown
Clean favored, and imperially slim
And he was always quietly arrayed
And he was always human when he talked
But still, he fluttered pulses when he said "Good-morning"
And he glittered when he walked
And he was rich—yes, richer than a king
And admirably schooled in every grace
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place
So on we worked, and waited for the light
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night
Went home and put a bullet through his head

Cold
Calloused
Breathless
Casting over crowns
Searching
Lusting
Passion of the sound
Hoping
For silence
The place where I find rest
Sharp
Tongues
Speak of what's to come
Speak of what's to come
Torn in two by thoughts in bloom
I scratch these scabs apart
Let the blood begin to clot
Go and turn the page
Read
Of
What the people say
Touch
Base
With the overlooked
Dare
Suffer
Lowly living
Restricted haste
The poison taste
I fight with these words but they won't go to waste
Damaged goods
A Spoiled bunch
All my assumptions were based off a hunch
Implicate and demonstrate
This is the broadcast you don't wanna miss
Partake in this here
Communion cup
We speak out in tongues but it's never enough
NO
Absent
Absent
Snap
In
To
Incandescent dreams
Move
Past
What the eyes can see
Stitch
Flesh
Back onto these bones
Breathe
Life
Into my soul

No Blood, Just Bruises

Carry on for what it's worth i'll say
The path of justice only flows one way
Sound the trumpets for the warning starts
Pistols ring in ears of deafened hearts
I don't want to be the one to tell you that this world is coming to a close
Something inside of you
Screams the existential point of truth
Negative is destruction
Positive is creation
Pull back my own selfish matters
Crease the folds under my skin
Short in time, but long in value
Makes the flesh become deceased
I cannot hold it back
The cancer running through my brain
You cannot see behind
The shadows whispering to me
Grace a part of self denial
The process of integrity
Creates a temporary prison cell
Break me free
Break me free
This is my final plight
That we'd be laid to rest tonight
I cannot stand the sight of you
My mind and visions been renewed
I'm telling you to go to hell
Back in the hole, that you dwell
Changes are progress for the host
You will be nothing but my ghost

Children of eternity, resting in the folds of the earth
Their voice echoes through the ground "justice"
Exalted wisdom: never trust a money man
Slow motion death sentence
Slow motion death sentence
It's easier to believe stories that make us feel safe
But pawns are always expendable
Bones rotting, More blood more teeth
Bones rotting, More blood more teeth
Speak! With what times left (Cover up!)
A war we won with bone and blood
Foreknowledge of consequence (Cover up!)
Delivering death sooner or later
Our bones will glow forever (Our. bones. will. glow)
Our bones will glow forever (Our. bones. will. glow)
Our bones will glow forever (Our. bones. will. glow)
Our bones will glow forever (Our. bones. will. glow)

I am rage
Abhorrent
Expression
Disillusioned
Fangs venomous
Slam all the doors
Can't escape
Fractured spine
Broken pride
It's a tantrum of the
Times
I confess
Rampant march through streets of shame
Your existence was in vain
Egocentric, paranoid
Your absence will be rejoiced
YEAH
Fragile
Like a child
Spoiled
Immature
Wasting
Wasting
Wasting away
Threaten my family and my friends
You will push me to the edge
Not your crystals
Not your sage
Will help you to escape
This
Is
My
Retribution
You'll
Pay
For what you've done
(When push comes to shove I will end you on my own)
Just
Wait
Your time will come
(When push comes to shove I will end you on my own)
This
Is
Exorcism

OH YEAH
Alright
Come a little bit closer baby
To my inner sanctuary
Fallin' into a lovin' envy
(Come on and take my hand)
I promise you that it ain't so scary
I can feel your heart is racing
Consent is how I play this game
(Come on and take a chance)
Longing gaze
Into panes
Free from all insecurities
Unspoken
Dysfunction
Bring your everything to me
Forsake this hopelessness
Of inconceivable romance
Anxious and innocent
Guiltless embarrassment
This image
Has been
Such a lonely place
Without your existence
This house
Is not
A home
Without your existence
Unrelenting passion
Unrelenting passion
Unrelenting passion
Unrelenting passion
This sound
Has been
The sweetest tune
Be still my heart
Your love
Your tenderness
Has made this wretch
Something worth loving again

(No room for compromise) x6
No room for compromise
I won't be known for just standing by
No room for compromise
Your ideology is nauseating
Digest the ignorance
You stand for everything that I despise
Zealous for selfishness
Manipulate the weak so you can think you're strong
Grip of the jealous heart
Hypnotized upon that swastika
Accept that you will fail
Abhorrent actions in the name of race
Saturate this violence
I'll smother your tongues of fire
Abandoned all of your honor
You worship flesh as if it's all you have
Control the clenching of this fist
And how it longs to kiss your lips
Atone for everything you say
We are the threat
It's the beginning of a movement
To see your kind become extinct
You see it's not your flesh we seek
But the idea that's underneath
So you can take your blood and soil
And mix them both to dig your graves
You have lost the war one time
Don't think it will ever change
This is the place where I will plant my feet
You wanna try something, well come after me
I got nothing left to lose except for empathy
EMPATHY

Smell the blood on my blade
Cursed from whence you came
Watch the words you say
Sentenced to the grave
YEAH
It's Business as usual
A work I idolized
I recollect, all the encounters
The most disgust I tend to find
Is in me
Is in me
All they do is take and take and take and
Give us nothing but the scraps
I have no option
But to be defect
And live a life riddled with crime
All hail the open roads
All hail the open roads
All hail the open roads
This is the curse that I never chose
An American gunslinging outlaw
Is never phased by maggots who crawl
There is a ringing in my ears
As the gunpowder ignites
All the bodies in the streets
Their silhouettes burned in my mind
I can't remember their faces
But I remember their screams
And even though I am conscious
This is a nightmare I can't leave
All hail the open roads
All hail the open roads
All hail the open roads
All hail the open roads
YEAH
Tanning hides, cursing the sky
Wish I was never born
Whiskey depleted, revolver in hand
We riding until dawn
Dark clouds, thunder and lightning
I am the rider on the storm
You cross my path, best to watch your mouth
Or you'll be buried 6ft under alive
Pull the trigger, watch it fly
Underneath the moonlit sky
Right between the eyes
This is where you finally die
There's still a ringing in my ears
As more shots run through the town
There is a bounty on my head
The wanted posters all around
Will I ever find this peace?
With all the dust that's in my lungs
And all the gaps between my teeth
Of heavens angels I'm the fallen one
So at the setting of the sun
There is a showdown with myself
If I don't make it out alive
There is still time to save yourself

Raise your glasses high
Death claims all in time x3
Raise your glasses high
Death claims all
Death claims all in time
"Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me"
