Richard Cory 01:15
lyrics

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 04:34
lyrics

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
