Haven
The Wonders At Your Feet
deeper shades of red descending
smear our names, the stains unending
turn forgiveness,
break the lens distorted
crush the infidel and turn about
famine in our hearts, bring up the silence louder
eradicate the lungs and take us higher
these are the wonders at your feet
weighed upon a wider scale
afraid to see what takes us down
sing destruction, sing of unfullfillment
search abandoned, let the blood be fevered
ridden of the self provided things get easier
ignite our minds and let's burn brighter
these are the wonders at your feet
Not Built To Last
what came as no surprise
to a jaded mind no less
insight comes to soothing grace
left to waiting days
..another chord unstrummed
our secret's safe and sound
solid now unless it breaks in two
faithfully unbound
none of this was ever built to last
in the paleness of a less than life
from a corner watching old paint dry
never once a break
into the self again
an endeavour that will flat our fail
what maturity comes to end
never one to face
..another beat undone
our secret's safe and sound
solid now unless it breaks in two
faithfully unbound
none of this was ever built to last
once again
another instant saved today
left a print that leads nowhere
never built to last
what makes it work
a part of life that makes the weak hearts grow
take it in if you?re willing to say
willing to do
prepared to lay it down
just know this
it was never built to last
Indifferent Suns
and although it can be argued
whether time will ever come to end
there is an overcoming sense of failing
if you never can see the end
in the giving of our hope eternal
we stumble blindly and forget the way
is there ever time for answers
when the world comes tumbling down
all along we keep staring at the sun
closing our minds
saying we're the ones
all along we keep staring at the sun
blind to see it when the day will come
and even if in days of wonders
a glance that may stray from the fold
cast aside in the spirit of ignorance
a mere nuisance when it?s time to pay
come undone now the strive and the passion
giving under to the forces that be
can you even think of questions
when the world comes tumbling down
we shut our eyes and turn away
all along we keep staring at the sun
closing our minds
saying we're the ones
all along we keep staring at the sun
blind to see it when the day will come
Feast Of Burden
"Scars torn open
Bondaged slave
Eating my wrists"
A thrust that numbs the pain
Secondary now the instinct
Thrust beyond control
Chaotc
Are the tracks before me
Barren are the ones behind
Carried in a cage controlling
Driven
Driven on, Driven in
Headlong onto the beach
Driven on, Driven in
Taken to the extreme
Headlong onto the beach
Pumping fast the race is on
furious in striving
The Feast of burden begins
The Feast of burden begins
Driven on, Driven in
Taken to the extreme
Headlong onto the beach
Driven on, Driven in
Headlong onto the beach
"The enslaving force
Thrown ahead
Unrelenting"
Faithfully holding fast
Steaming ahead unknowing
Careless again it seems
Oblivious to the pressure
The Feast of burden begins
The Feast of burden begins
Haven
now as the lights go down
deeper now it seems than long before
there are no noises here
just a silence gone bad
something I will never hide
this urging need to
invite the darkside in
into my haven
if there were words for this
would i sing or would i scream?
i'd give my blood to stay
my blood just to stay right here
something can never share
this urging need to
invite the darkside in
into my haven
The Same
what we always fear and loathe
becomes of us
repay the visit of our loss
reset the marks again
the turning point
seems to be holding on
sands of ages and the stars above
everchanging as the same hearts beat
repeating 'til the end
seas of slander and the soil we walk
everchanging as the same hearts beat
it ends up all the same
the sail that never knew the wind
barren and lost
our wrecks these shores will never reach
a trek on darker trails
let days be done
it takes forever
Fabric
scattered throughout now
indefinite form
willed to find strangers
in the wickedest state
when it comes upon you my friend
fear not - it makes us men
hidden within ourselves now
lured into hiding out of sight
creation in purity
we don't need no host
suck it in
it waits for noone
take it down
the coming of descent
fiery changeling
reddened and frail
perspire to save it
the remnant of this game
if it launches again today
will our lives begin again
turning away from tides of lust
stronger return against all odds
suck it in
it waits for noone
take it down
the coming of descent
raised to take stand
to separate grace
shown in the wake of new light
seeing it will break
the flavour of aquired taste
another boundary yet to face
witness the revolution
the fabric of essence
come again
Ego Drama
wrestled on its back
the ego showed his face
charged up, recieving
came out knowing
hopeless intrusion
where nothing can be found
strewn, the seeds were wasted
on the innocent in awe
fruitless connection
in the ripeness of his age
drawn and thrust in anger
the dagger once again will fail
it's over
if nothing comes along
it's over for you
so in denial stand where shame is not
and unto others fall
the blame, the guilt,
the others fault
come on now-
scratch and claw with all your strength
take on the wildest bull in the horde
come burn them fingers fast
and take back what they owe
return the safety where there was none...
Rundown
cowardice, this chain of events
gather and plot the ensnaring of me (ensnaring)
gone now the sense of lust
is there a cost for the reckless excess?
taken in the growth and trust
retalitory strike at the weakest spot
raked away the remains of my fall
that laid scattered cross plains of regret
humble in defence of the wicked
run down, naked and blind
merciless, the onslaught of demands
get in line for the numbning
i won't make a stand
redeemer of the slavery
reconcile with the carefree and content
ensnarer, caretaker
lead not these the frail into battle again
crossing out the ramblings of others
tired of the same old refrain
knowing this will all be corrected
torn down, wasted and lost
i can't take it anymore 'cause i am rundown
can't take it anymore 'cause this is wrong
tired and rundown
spat it out
the foolish lines you fed
it holds a place in the civilized mind
forcefed, the turn of our venturesome quest
being rundown as we seek
the day this was lost
all that you see
all that'll be
rundown
Emptier Still
secrets in here
claim no belonging
together again
or send me to madness
i know that i should have listened
was given a choice i turned down forever
so tell me are you lonely
emptier still
as time takes us farther
away from the goals
by which we are measured
i know that I should have stayed true
to you and to me
but time never heals
so here alone I stand
so tell me are you lonely
tell me are you mine
i see you standing there
your face against the wall
so turn right around
i who know your deepest fear
and yet you walk away
so turn right around so tell me are you lonely
tell me are you mine
don't speak for you are me
At Loss For Words
waiting for the signs to bring
the first to sing
felt inbetween these fears
set to unknown tunes
so tempt these fragile fiends
a grace gone dark
you'll never know
never feel
never taste the depths of your defeat
break into the hearts and minds of man
never one to tell
sucking on a lie that never ends
found at loss for words
locking on to faith gone bad
sweet touch of sin
not in the sleight of hand
can facts be lost
never understate your case
deny our weight
there never is
never was
can never be
a break from binding chains
break into the hearts and minds of man
never one to tell
sucking on a lie that never ends
found at loss for words
Cornered
There never was a night like this
How could there ever be
Through sweat and velvet misery
The fever race in me
Cornered in a symetrical design
Sphere-like chrome on a sea enraged...
hatred
What the mirror sees
is the clutching at straws
taking us under
The storm of the ocean
this velvety crush
Ringcorners- firm in the outrage
Synaptic patterns
Waves contort
Break into these cellular walls
Why...
Globes of disease, infest my dreams
burning the ends of my veins
Pattern and form, the squares cling fast
Dance the tide now
Could never bare another night
although I know it'll come
The freezing ends of what is me
The icy rages...
free
Cornered in a symetrical design
Sphere-like chrome on a sea enraged...
hatred
Take hold of the boundaries -
The Perimeter Sea
Burn!
Enflame the oppressors
But if four was one
in a corner alone
recovering - licking the wounds
delerium coming
the weakness kicks in
Resigning, cornered within
Damage Done
Final Resistance
Disaffected, left to internal struggle
let ring with the cries of disaccord
They told of outposts firm as trees
Whispers laid no basis for
the plunge to the chasm depths
Seen none, nor felt the safety
Perimeter alarm
I see the bearings of disaster
What can you tell me of the inside
Is it as bright as all can see?
To make a chemical stand
a final front to the days ahead
In attempt to tame their mineral estrangement
Smothered by the numeral that
haunts each waking day
Request for countertmeasures
to state claim of this my cavern
None to take and none be given
as the window breaks to black
A process left to solitude
is the action left undone
Answers left to echo
in the silent halls of none
Cast down the hopes and aspirations
Shut the windows tight
Everybody said No
Reset your fears and good intentions
Barred up for life
Everybody said No
This is the final resistance
Hours Passed In Exile
What if:
a) some things are destined to failure
b) some things are never meant to be
c) someone never sees
d) someone never opens
e) somehow we are different
Though I never claimed to be right
give to me the benefit of doubt
I brought you fires
that you put out
I brought you fires
for I cannot be without
I came with sadness
but this my shattered heart can't bear
What of the times in exile
what of the hours passed
what if touches seem too trivial
You can never tell me I'm wrong
a song I've heard so long
So what if healing takes forever
so what if time is meant for others
so what is left is but a shatter
and what is broken can't be whole
Monochromatic Stains
There is this face in the still water
I can't remember ever wearing
Like fingerprints on your heart
Reading out the last lines of code
To the untrained eye a secret
I bled away the last of you
Sought trust in shapes of combined results
that trickles from a less than solid case
Fought off attacks of resurfaced lust
Burn the gracing grounds
What will give in first
the body or the lash
Monochromatic stains
Who will cave in first
the leader or the fake
Monochromatic stains
This pile of ashes of a soul
informant pokes abound
These sickly little fingers
Get away from me
Tread not the path of least restraint
each piece of evidence a lie, a lie
The body, the face all items in place
I don't remember a thing
A sacrifice made to the loss of mind
Folly a man's demise
Track now the stains that allow my fall
sickening, the sight of it all
Never shall I claim my innocence
I just was not there
Single Part Of Two
"Come with me," he said and erased it from his mind
"be with me now," but of love we are frightened stiff
We'd rather leave and head for the skies
than say all the right words too soon
"And I never thought you would
But always knew you could"
"We take off from here," and in that
instant nothing remained of what was
whereas the soul provides, freedom
narrowed down for the taking
"I never wanted you to lie
-never needed fragments of your day"
A broken promise made,
to always come around
-never to stay
And as tired as clich©s come
did not expect nor frown upon
lighter hearts have taken bait
Sweetened words now with bitter taste
A distance kept that never fails to close us in
and forget the days that still linger on
inside the single part of two
We'd rather leave no trace and not look back
Than face the anxiety here and now
The Treason Wall
Let me tell you about the loss of all
the failing of all that we hold dear
Wrapped up nicely in ourselves
Chaos resolves
that which order defiles
Worthless lives
are ordered blind
I don't believe
Taste and you will see
that all belongs to me
I don't believe
I won't believe
I raise my hand against it all
for those who don't recognize the call
Will the sense to overcome these nestled walls
Going to break it down
Let me nail you to the treason wall
stab the night and the day from your sight
And set the thought to flame
Feeble devout
nothing resides
Break it to pieces
that obstinate mind
I raise my fist to hold the line
Against those who set themselves on high
Going to break it down
Format C: For Cortex
Mental Blindfolds on
Early on the fascination intense
How to discern just where right belongs
Something has got to give
These things I just don't want you to see
There is no need for you to start revolutions
I don't want you to talk to the minions
Just show me a brand new face
an open mind against a dying race
Something has got to give
These things I just don't want you to hear/feel
Cannot fail in this the era of losers
burnt the shell of those that once held the torches
Cannot give you the senses anew
nor will you know innocence again
Something has got to give
These things I just don't want you to know
in time all your questions will be answered
not what you hoped for, not what you dreamed
all preconceptions crumble
Something has got to give
These things I just don't want you to learn
Won't hold up to the standards you keep
never came from the formative years
Just show me a brand new mind
Keep in what you left behind
Something has got to give
These things I just don't want you to be
Damage Done
Went inside the caves of seven wolves
Felt of the forces that lend themselves to speed
those final words to fracture the very structure
can't stand this glacial pace
the damage done
It seems these days are getting shorter
derails my train of thought
What said in hand was done
chased unforgiveness down these corridors
locked down the basis for the willing form
a trail far from strayed
the damage done
Set aside from eyes of others
Our frail structures can't keep up with the pace
Brought out for all to see
the damage done
face contradicting needs
We bring our cages home
for none to see
in vain to lessen
responsibility
the damage done
Cathode Ray Sunshine
Carry our streams
Lift up our less than elated lives
Transmit our selves
We breathe out
Where no one whispers
Take in all the dark light
turn the nighttime into day
Cathode ray Sunshine
speak out and we receive
Show me and let us in
Alienate
Block out all
amid the breaking of the light
See it again and again
Single sight
Sensory perception
turn the nighttime into day
To our great distrust
Escapism a means of
getting through alive
Take it in and spit it out again
That measly filth
Focal degradation
Bring the chaos into light
Cathode ray Sunshine
Burn
The Enemy
To remain objective
to a closer call
Secretly rejected
and to mediocrity fall
caught on the downslopes of life
the patted shoulder remembers
the elbowed side resists
Encircled ad nauseum
an enemy to define ourselves
an enemy to refine our hate
Encouraging on the negative scale
Bent out of shape is the measuring norm
In words and in writing
No one knows my enemy like I do
A social repellant
(not) merely an adversary
lost to the falling words
Kept the last of all
understood glances
to work against
I, Deception
Could not have forseen
what the lies of the bearer would bring
Trailing the marks of his errors
trace the original sin
Fallen I cling to deception
This talk of madness is in me
Come now as the drapery falls
From homes that take the foul in hand
Mind cloven Sweet spoken
with words that led us off the track
Truth altered Blindsighted
Thrive on the illusion
and the image of a life to be
Unmount the shielding facade
Cast to death the disciples
fevered rage to burn them
Fallen
Endure the spit of others
Locked inside the pretence cage
Where the cause will be certain
Fallen I'll see you inside
White Noise / Black Silence
Time in argument will end
Flames of preparation
Fingers felt the whipping
Hand that feeds the flame
Escalate the drought
Itching to join the fray
Wishing darkness was sound
shutting desires out
Wishing darkness was sound
but as moths to the flame...
...we go
You the ignorant
take sides in these three dimensions
Nullify importance
confined within the page
Scan for raoture again
look for an instant save
Mere moments pass and still it seems
detached from insight, thought and word
Ever since it lost its edge
lost in the noise forever be
in the blur of information
the nail that never sticks
Venting a foul stench
purging the fevered self
behind a traitor's name
Face the consequence
taken back in the eyes of fairness
A nobody forever
hidden and locked away
Working the boards again
Giving the wrath away
The Poison Well
Unless another wall is breaking
Nothing can come of this
Elusive
Against our better judgement
Allow our image to stand ground
Turn around and
Break the path and let's get going
To the place where nobody ever goes
Break the path and let's get going
To the place where nobody ever goes
Nobody ever goes
With ideals as infestations
Hinder the radical mind
Retune our aim
Now is time for hiding
For it stabs fear in you
So coward
Break the path and let's get going
To the place where nobody ever goes
Break the path and let's get going
To the place where nobody ever goes
Nobody ever goes
A thought to infect you
An idea to perfect you
A flesh to restrain you
No heart to forgive you
The poison well
Runs dry
Break the path and let's get going
To the place where nobody ever goes
Break the path and let's get going
To the place where nobody ever goes
