After the Burial

“And in the end I will show you that this life in only madness
Can we filter out
The toxicity?
And find worth in the static
We build and build
We forget the model
We design the madness and we paint it gold
Swarming and spiraling
Burning at both ends
A blur on the horizon
We fail to keep site
Over and over again
Open your palms up
Resist the current”
- “Lost in the Static”
“Smash everything around you
It’s all yours if you wish
Give and take in the palm of your hand
Return us where we all begin
Spun of earth, masked and secret
Liars hide inside us all
With sharpened teeth vast that never end
To the gallows we descend”
- “Behold the Crown”
“Feel defeat
Breathe relief
All the pain is leaving
Misleading, deceiving
Everything doesn’t mean anything to me
Suffocate
Seal your fate
Separate the guilt and faults from your own mind”
- “Nothing Gold”
“We melt away at the summer’s heat
Stuck between
Our own ideas in paralyzed nights
We kick and turn in searing waves
Like hollow shells
Dread echoes inside
Reverberate… in infinity
Reverberate… in infinity”
- “Collapse”
“Where do we begin?
When everything is wrong we just forget
Move along and we play pretend
Surround your life with silver and gold
Your tinsel dreams and the make believe
Deconstructed and paralyzed
So slowly somehow I’m evaporating
We dream to be the lesser
A maligned separate existence
We belittle ourselves to a lesser
being - our dreams are not our dreams”
- “A Wolf Amongst Ravens”
“We carry ghosts
The godless head of pure dispair
Gripped by the throat
Release me
From this curse
I abandoned”
- “Death Keeps Us From Living”
“We misplace dreams and study braille throughout the dark
And there’s hope for a better future
And there’s hope for a better life
Rage
I will put this all back inside of me
Ghosts of my past lift me up
Carry me through blinding light”
- “Laurentian Ghosts”
“Life is a lesson
That we don’t sign up for
But we fatefully learn
And as I grow old
Time will break me apart”
- “Neo Seoul”
“I’ll never look back
Nothing really mattered til now
Decades waiting to be caught in your wind
And when your voice gave notes it pushed my sails
We found safety growing within ourselves
Just two children waiting at the window for the rain to stop”
- “Deluge”
“Give me indication
Give me separation
With everything seeming pulseless
Give me indication
Give me separation
I’m drifting into oblivion
And there’s no place I’d rather be
I’m drifting into oblivion”
- “Pennyweight”
“Do you know what it’s like to be
Inside - separate from life
A shallow grave for benevolence
Submerged
We grasp for light but none that truly exist
Better then, nothing now
You feel the earth surround you as you fall”
- “Mire”
“Guiding me from within
For I am just a part of who
Just a part of who I was back then
Where we were when this all began
For I am just a part of who
Just a part of who I was back the
Where we were when this all began
Something inside me
I cannot fix
So we begin
Begin again”
- “Disconnect”
“When I return
I dream of another life
Failure transparent in the palm of my hand
I am the contortionist
We are the contortionists
I can feel this distance is further and farther
Without you
Contorting to fit
Somewhere I do not belong”
- “Your Troubles Will Cease and Fortune Will Smile Upon You”
“Misery, I wanted to forget you
But five years later I have grown
I have regret
You were better deserved
But we all learn
Hands to broken mirrors
We shattered our design
You were always so easy for me
To leave in ruins”
- “Nine Summers”
“But we emerged soaked in grace
Dripping with the truth
You’ve fired upon a target so clear
But we’ve shattered our own glass hearts
We’ve fought with sweat and blood
This life is all we have
Today has taken a bloody toll
But the nightfall will claim your life”
- “A Steady Decline”
“And like the nights upon nights to come
I will dream of you
And know that I will see you soon
Give me the strength to carry on”
- “To Carry You Away”
“I feel the words escaping
The break from my thoughts
And disappear from my mouth
They leave behind a taste
The taste of failure
So familiar it reminds me of you
Don’t say you’ll save my life”
- “My Frailty”
“I won’t stand by
While you plague the air
With your lies and deception
My shirt stained crimson from long nights of anguish
These scars are forever
But this won’t be eternity”
- “Fingers Like Daggers”
“Escape is granted
And in this moment
I free myself
As each memory fades
In this emptiness
I free myself”
- “Parise”
“Victim of anger
Tied to distance
Where does it come from?
Distrust
I’ve stood strong
Held my head high through constant war
So brutal, so violent
So I tiptoe through conversation
A lapse in my step is misperceived
Unleash a breath of salvation
In dormancy lies everlasting rage”
- “Aspiration”
“I reach into memories
I long to relive those times
Those younger days
If only time would stop
Stand still
Maybe I could see myself
What I’ve become
It’s sickening
This isn’t me”
- “Rareform”
“Now follow the thrashing thought of your dream to exist
Pursue what may never come
Releasing demons and banishing them to the depths
Of bloody memories and regrets
The outer shell is decomposing
Releasing a new upgraded self”
- “Ometh”
“I can feel this emptiness
Slowly I am fading out
I can feel this emptiness
And this is becoming of me
My hands hold on tight
I’m not letting go
Words are never good enough
Everything I breathe
Is broken letters and bad timing
And they are becoming of me”
- “Sleeper”
