Divides 03:46
lyrics

I'll drink til I'm dead Before I drink til I'm stupid My skin I will shed Like a snake, I will lose it Don't lie down before the eyes of God You won't be judged, like me, upon the cross The martyrs, liars and the righteous clan (With blood on their hands) Take from me, and give nothing back A tower built, but not built to last Take from me, now I'm losing track A tower built, on broken glass Divides, between me and you I wear my heart on my sleeve While yours is hidden from view Divides, between me and you Take me instead She's really not worth it Careful where you tread I don't boast, no, I prove it Nightmares come to life and bleed to black The darkest corners of my Cadillac I see your face beneath a red strip light (I'll make it alright) Take from me, and give nothing back A tower built, but not built to last Take from me, now I'm losing track A tower built, on broken glass I should accept, the divides we already made Before the foundations were laid Before the boundaries were set With mistakes washed away by the rain Divides between me and you My heart on my sleeve, yours hidden from view Divides between me and you

I made the most of what I had Even what's forced into my hands And when I land that parting blow I won't forgive you, no I won't Contaminated from within Forgive me mother, for I have sinned And now I can't take it all back A twisted mind, a heart attack Can't say I didn't try I'd give it all, I'd even give an eye I'd cast you out, into the night With this fist of steel and this fist of might Can’t stop, I’m going mad I gave to you all that I ever had And now I can't take it all back A twisted mind, a heart attack Take my hand, help me make it out Take my hand, help me make it out A pill, a syringe, there's no doubt A pill, a syringe, there's no doubt You are the answers, to all my questions You are my medicine, my medicine You are the vaccine, for my sickness You are my medicine, my medicine I can see through the smoke Beneath the black and through your cloak I am the one who's seen the light You are the truth and you are the guide Hold me back or I'll cross the line You help me see when I'm going blind Cleanse my soul of all my sins And help me let go of everything Can't say I didn't try Beyond the grave, beneath the broken sky The dead leaves and the ashes grey There’s warrior I cannot slay An old wound, an infection The mirror’s edge, a reflection Cleanse my soul of all my sins And help me let go of everything Take my hand, help me make it out Take my hand, help me make it out A pill, a syringe, there's no doubt A pill, a syringe, there's no doubt You are the answers, to all my questions You are my medicine, my medicine You are the vaccine, for my sickness You are my medicine, my medicine (x2) Reduce me, to a memory Now you're gone, I know you're all I need (x2) It rages on, from deep within But she holds on to the way we were (x2) It rages on, from deep within She holds on to the way we were (x2) It rages on, from deep within I hold on to the way we were (x2)

Step up, you're better than this Cross off a name from the top of your list Step up; you're not better than me I may have lost my mind, but not my dignity Got voices in my head, you'll never understand They tell me they rely on me, they tell me what they've planned A power given to me, or did I take it from your hand? These binds won't hold me, no they won't, I'm making my last stand You've got it wrong, did all along From the bottom of my lungs to where you aim your gun You've got it right, convinced by the edge of a knife I'm not satisfied; hold onto your head like the grip of a vice I can play dead, paint the walls with red I can burrow like a worm into the back of your head Stay there on the ground, be still don't make a sound The slightest noise from you I won't allow I can move mountains with my mind I can do anything, I won't break my stride I can split the ground in half, don't ask me why I can part oceans with a flicker of the eye Your skull grows bright and hot, singes hair and skin Cracks like a light bulb, when I signal it caves in I pull out your spine like a root from the dry earth And I'll break your neck like paper chains, but I'll disembowel you first You've got it wrong, did all along From the bottom of my lungs to where you aim your gun You've got it right, convinced by the edge of a knife I'm not satisfied; hold onto your head like the grip of a vice I can play dead, paint the walls with red I can burrow like a worm into the back of your head Stay there on the ground, be still don't make a sound The slightest noise from you I won't allow I can move mountains with my mind I can do anything, I won't break my stride I can split the ground in half, don't ask me why I can part oceans with a flicker of the eye I am a constellation, a cluster of distant stars I am that feeling you get when danger isn't far Smoke on the horizon, yeah, it threatens with a curse Smother me, baby please, you better call the nurse I am a constellation of distant stars (x2)

Buried At Sea 04:22
lyrics

Oh, as I decompose, I wonder what waits for me beyond I guess I’ll never know Oh, as my body falls apart, I wonder if I’ll see your face again I guess I’ll never know, I’ll never know Pitch black, carve out my eyes When I get out of here I’ll eat you alive Once lost, you’ll never find A floating coffin holds me trapped inside I gave it all, it was never enough Even when this ship started to flood You should have jumped when I told you to Left me here behind, to rot, to face the truth And what I never knew, is that I suffocated long ago I won’t see the sun again, I’ll never leave this tomb Never leave this tomb The rope around my wrists itches and burns I’m different to you, I guess I’ll never learn Ghouls of the mind come thick and fast I regret that day, I regret my past What did I do so wrong? A priest didn’t even send me on my way A prayer or two, that would have done It would have been enough for me to say I’ve had my time and done my best My heart goes on inside my chest But now I can’t leave this world Not without gold, diamonds and pearls And what I never knew, is that I suffocated long ago I won’t see the sun again, I’ll never leave this tomb I wish I would have known, before you ever betrayed me Did you place a rose upon this box? Did you bury me at sea? Bury me at sea (x4)
