1.
bring me your love i’ll bring you mine it’s a guillotine gallows high serpent roar a last gasp we’re all voyeurs here no last laugh i guess this sense of violence is so innate that it’ll have to stay it’s the same savagery day after day with stakes this low i’d be amazed if anyone rode away on some grandiose wave, shallow and naive
2.
vulnerable in this cracked shell i’m tired of waiting, i’m ready for hell but that’s not how this works they’ll make you wait they’ll let you bleed and when they see that you’re weak then they’ll strike first cos it’s you who caused this doubt in me and when you’re suffocating in this hell you've had no hand in creating and you beat on the walls and scream it’s not your fault don’t be surprised by no response you've always been the ground on which they walk
3.
Long Gone 02:45
in this world and in all the worlds to come the damnable, the pigs will find salvation through a system of distraction that keeps our heads in a spin we’ll miss them as they make their exit it’s a sad truth but we’re long gone and our shadow will be just as shallow as we were it’s a sad truth but we’re long gone our values were shaped to cause devastation and if you’ve got a spirit left they’ll bait it the best they can and they’ll guide it into dark never to be seen again it’s a sad truth but we’re long gone and our shadow will be just as shallow as we were it’s a sad truth but we’re long gone our values were shaped to cause devastation with comfort claiming priority and perversion pulling the reign we’ll continue into darkness a delusional beast chasing custom tailored dreams we’re short leashed and we know it but try to make the best of it do what you think redeems you in the dying hours of everyday that you’ve spent oiling a cruel machine that will see to your end
4.
we jump from ship to ship only to find out that they're all sinking we burn every last bridge until there's no chance of returning hollowed eyes, rotten mind malcontent degenerate
5.
My Return 01:28
i made my return to this home enclosed by dead trees with a nucleus of rusted machines where floorboards creak like bones and wind cuts through broken screens where i’m forever suspended in a dreamless sleep and when i finally awake to face the superfluous day my life is only mine to take self-obsess and self-betray je ne veux rien
6.
This Town 01:56
this town is a snarling hound and you people are the teeth in its mouth and everyone is dripping blood this noose is just a tad bit loose and i would tighten it if i could choose but you tie the knots i’m dripping sweat a nervous wreck all eyes are on me and they all mirror death
7.
Cowardice 01:11
cocooned in delusion that's as brittle as bones with a bare fist smash entitlement you'll buckle and burn and exude cowardice the smoke you emit is shameful and pungent selfishness and cowardice
8.
The Room 03:55
i am the dry mud floor on which you sit and i am cracked and i am dirty but i hold you up when you tire of your fits i keep you in i am the cold stone wall on which you place your palms against which you beat your fist the only thing to touch your lips i keep you in
