As you lay me to rest I am finally free Though I am not what I used to be My hollow frame weeps for what it was I chase an image swallowed up by my disease The earth shatters below me I see my face in the cliffs sinking into the sea As I long for the tide to erase me, drag me down into the depths beneath I feel the sun rise over me A broken image left to rot in the silence of the deep As it illuminates the fault lines This world will finally know release Do you remember when we were whole Now fractured and torn we beg for the end An end so violent Though I will never know relief We sink our teeth into the sand as if we're destined to die For all our power, we are paralysed I feel our failures churn below Drown me in the ocean, drown me in the cold Drown me in the cold Break apart my bones to let me begin Drinking salt from the breast of the world again I feel the sun rise over me A broken image left to rot in the silence of the deep As it illuminates the fault lines This world will finally know release Do you remember when we were whole Now fractured and torn we beg for the end An end so violent Though I will never know my own relief This world has taken everything we had to gain And as we lay here in the dirt the tides come crawling in And I know, I know theres nothing left for me but the silence in our suffering This is not what it was before, a broken image left to rot in the deep This world will be forgotten, this world will know release This rock is nothing but a skeleton picked clean And as parasites upon this earth we will never know relief

OBH 02:06
I feel alive For the first time I feel content in life Oh god, don't let it end I'm sick of slipping through the cracks with bated breath Don't let it end, don't let it end Don't let it end, don't let it end Each breath I'd take I watched it suffocate, felt it asphyxiate I let decay carve it's place inside my throat Each breath I take is not enough, it's not enough I crave much more than winter's breath I'm alive but with each day I'm left wanting more I'm alive but I want more I want more.

Water & Fear 03:12
I lost it all, lost it all to memory Every moment, every word that has dripped out of me I can't reflect, reflect on who I used to be A coward in a prison of reality I find myself in a cage of my own suffering Lashed to the bones of a man lost to agony As my reflection calls out to me, I feel you beckon from beyond the wayside into apathy "I can taste your loneliness I can see your sorrow I can feel your apprehension Join me in the marrow" The voice inside my head it longs for something more, but I never wanted to cut you out but the shame was too much, I was lost in the doubt Don't wrap me in the shroud of abandonment, help me block out the song in my head because It sings to me, it sings for me It sings of misery It's misery, it sings of misery Of suffering, of boundless agony Let me be My essence is scarred from the flow of endless entropy I fell beneath the inverse clouds I watched So cold was their love I never knew I'd lost their touch I fell further than I ever knew A companion to the dirt, I burnt the roots that grew I never wanted to cut you out but the shame was too much, I was lost in the doubt Don't wrap me in the shroud of abandonment, help me block out the song in my head because I never wanted to cut you out but the shame was too much, I was lost in the doubt Don't wrap me in the shroud of abandonment, help me block out the song in my head because I scorched my eyes in a fire of my own demise And we both know I will only find my light when I say farewell to life.

Dry your eyes dear mother Dry your eyes To bear your tears upon our shoulders is the greatest shame we know And I'm not sure that we'll survive anymore of this Endless war is all we know from here until the end of us This world is broken This world is cold For all we've wrought under your gaze your faith in us is so misplaced Empty eyes now filled with dust congeal and leave us blind We've torn the veins from our chests to hang this world to death But still you'd slit your wrists into our mouths if just to see us drown This earth is scorched in empty virtue Enraptured in its filth, we beckon forth the sea of glass inside our hearts And it's tearing us apart.

Winter 03:23
Embrace me in decay I pick at the scabs in my head so the pain flows once again Encase me in suffering I've let this sadness make it's mark on me and it won't let go All I do and all I am is but a shadow of a broken man He lays awake at night obsessed with how it all began As winter seeps into my home I grate my bones against the cold Of the rugged pavement down below for the emptiness inside my soul When I hide from the light I'm shown the sins of days gone by Snakeskin slides across my mind and I see the horror in your eyes And I know I never should have left you there alone This world is empty And how my heart is heavy Enraptured, encased in the shadows of my own disgrace Lay me here to rot in the bowels of my uncertainty All I do and all I am is but a shadow of a broken man He lays awake at night obsessed with how it all began As winter seeps into my home I grate my bones against the cold Of the rugged pavement down below for the emptiness inside my soul Behold my empty bones The man you used to know.
