The Damage Left In Your Wake (2016/2019)
1. LEADING THE BLIND
Spare the air,
Your empty words and deeds
Spare those who place their faith
In your every move
Life resonates
Through the way you speak
Perceive
How it all runs you
Through
My word is all I have
Unbroken
Deceived
Trust not
What you see
Do not despair
Deny the life they lead
Blame those who ride the line
With their every breath
We elevate
As we herd the weak
Believe
That truth will see you
Through
Two hands to stay the storm
Asylum
Deceived
Trust not
What you see
Will you dare
To rectify your needs
Ignore the pain that burns
With your every move
Lead the blind
Til the bitter end
Bereaved
I will wait for
You
2. FROM DOWN HERE
Don’t be so disappointed
That I won’t pacify
I won’t be compensating
And I won’t satisfy
Give me release
Today
Let me retort
My way
Get on your knees
And stay
Answer me, please
When I say
Will you hesitate
To pull the blade
Out of your chest
Or will someone else
Do it for you
Save me
Take me
Far away from here
Let me breathe the air
On the other side
We are commiserating
And I won’t calcify
Your fate has been devised
Don’t you wonder why
I am complete
today
Let me escape
My way
If you want me
Then stay
Lend me an ear
When I say
Save me
Take me
Far away from here
Let me breathe the air...
3. IMPOSING YOUR WILL
All the time I see the games you play and
I despise it
How long can I be the one to blame and
I allow it
Just a ruse that's starting to decay
It's wearing thin now
Go and act like the hero of the day
Well go take your bow
Lost, inside of your head
Deception lies before me
The cost, consumed by your debt
A web of lies destroys me
Use the guilt until you get your way
It all falls on me
It's not as noble as you'd like to think
You're just as guilty
Turn a blind eye to the good in me
As you forget
And all of the good we knew we ever had
Is just a regret
Lost, inside of your head
Deception lies before me
The cost, consumed by your debt
A web of lies destroys me
Lost, inside of your head
Deception lies before me
The cost, consumed by your debt
A web of lies destroys me
Lost, inside of your head
Deception lies before me
The cost, consumed by your debt
A web of lies destroys me
4. WITNESS ME
Indelible
It’s such a lovely day
Another coward hiding from their fate again
Controllable
I like to think you are
Dressed in a righteous sense of dead self dignity
It’s nice to meet you
It’s nice to need you
Deniable
Come take your accolades
We’ll burn the sky for your grand Pyrrhic victory
Reliable
Chrome veins run thick with grease
Ride eternal through a stark choking fantasy
Waste not
Lest you forget yourself
Bleed black
Drowning in gasoline
Think fast
Before you resent yourself
For leaning back
In mediocrity
Fire at will!
I let me down
Indispensable
That’s what they say I am
What you want the most when shit hits the fan
Incomprehensible
Or reprehensible
I can’t remember just which of those I am
WITNESS!
Fire at will
I let me down
You let me
5. TOO FAR GONE
