Failure On My Lips

Under an eclipse of ever-rising feeling
Moving faster through my veins
And bleeding out the sun
That's beating down our necks
And burning my eyes
If this is a crutch for the weak
Then I am the least of these
So cut off my arms and break my legs
So I don't feel this anymore
Choking on all of the feeling
That I'm swallowing in
Tasting the failure on my lips
That I've lead in
And this is my last chance for survival
A last ditch effort to cure my ache
We're so vain aren't we?
We're so proud and empty
We're left leaning on our only intrigue
The lies that I've told won't bury us whole
They won't find us time
This is the end of the story that I can forget
This goes far beyond our loyalties
And we feign as a shield
That's teeming with guilt and resonance
But we held our heads so high
We have not yet defeated failure




Only Our Faces Hide

We drive to keep our conscience clear
Imagine closure sinking deep into the air
Our loss is not gaining new ground at all
I fight this everyday
Against this ever-changing face
I fight you everyday
Against your ever-changing face
With a fresh sense of purpose and direction
We cannot hide now from ourselves
In disguises all our own
Still we can't escape at all
We run from things that can be seen
But if we would close our eyes
We would see the real threat against us
I won't run from this world
Only our faces hide
The quiet defeat inside
Only our faces show
Reflections of so much more




Rise And Fall

Our defenses open
Our motives are shot
This hush of the heart seems too much to keep
It's gathered here and wakening me
It's stealing with fear that's reaching in
And pulling out with every beat
Resounding loud and clear, but only to me
In this confiding pulse
I'll find a way to keep it all confined
It's reminding me and always surrounding me
Past pictures will keep me
From being the man I could be
Burn out and I'll burn now
I'll carry this burden of memory
A name that lingers on a blank face
Can never fill a heart that's sinking fast
And hurting to feel
It's falling so fast now
To never rise again
We all burn out
We all rise and fall
We all burn now




Death To Traitors

A line drawn in the sand
And we both know
I'm not about to bury myself
Sinking in my footsteps
But not coming up for air
A firm foundation of beating hearts
Is blistering enough on the surface
Closing in and holding out my breath
Hoping to mend the wounds
Opened by years of digging out
We fight fire with fire
And you'll run back to your
Circles of friends
They won't help you now
We drew a line in the sand
And this time it's now or never
Go ahead and burn your bridges
But only if you can swim
Deep in the sea of disbelief
This time your screams won't be heard
You will fight this battle
But we'll take you out so quickly
That you and your so-called army
Couldn't see us coming
Fight this battle
We'll tear you down to the ground
We can't stop now
We were born for battle
Without vision we will die
We were born for battle
Against the tide of compromise
There is life in this
The places so close can take you so far
We won't trust our eyes to keep us there




Defect From Decay

A simple defect from decay
Unravelled words are left to fray
And to avoid
If you could swallow all your pride
You would choke on every word
That you hide behind
So face yourself
And bury those useless words
That mean nothing to me
Your bitterness will bury you
Faster than your words ever could
You've taken arms against yourself
This is the end
I swear to it you fake




Watching The Lines Blur

Closer away from the boundaries
I'm building to break from
Boundless and unrestrained
Building to break them all
We are built to see one way
But watching the lines blur
Our eyes have been gorged out
And fused to see another
I won't let this tear me out of the ground
I will defy the culture that rips me out
And tears me down
I will defy your culture and make this real
We will not die just to fade
Into the air like memories
We will not die
If we live in hearts we leave behind
Then we will never die
And you can't replace them
With the ones you've lost
We're escaping all of your securities




Inner Pattern

Awaken the inner pattern
A murmur of self
A heart between beats
Tearing out the pages left and right
Of the human letter
In a burning moment
Threaded with compassion
Bound and held tight
In form and fashion
Bleeding restoration
Into a heart that's grave
Breathing in life into our lungs
Into our throats like open graves
Our eyes aren't closed
Our eyes are asleep
You have dreamt long enough
With open eyes
There is no escape for those
Who betray their inner self
Are we absent in thoughts of escape?
While our minds sleep
In days we saved
You've cut all ties
And broken all your bonds
To your inner self
Now you will lie
An unhappy life away
Let the fire in your eyes
Burn it clean inside
Let the blood revise the ink
In your veins
This world won't define our hope
We'll sit through the ashes
Until we find what's true in our hearts
And write it there
For this is what strikes fear in the heart of man
These are the days that we've made
And the chances that we'll take
We can't carry this vessel to shore
Without an anchor of hope.




Aimless Endeavor

Remembering the moments
It's so unclear
Re-living it just to disappear
It's always the wrong way
And never the same
It's dragging and staggered
Into a dull replay

Remember the moments
It's so unclear, It's so unclear
Re-living it just to disappear

Lying down in sleepless eyes
Wide awake
So caught inside this aimless endeavor
It's sure to leave it's mark
Blacked-out and beaten into our skin
Deeper now that it's sunk in
Feeding on all of this damage it's done
The deeper you look
The harder it is to find
It's so safe and so secure

Blacked-out and beaten into our skin
Deeper now that it's sunk in
It's so deep now

Blacked-out and beaten into our skin
Deeper now that we've fell in




Allure

Hold close now
It's your only assurance
Of controlling the outcome of this ending
Is it ending or just leaving us
Tired and waiting?
You're chasing the reasons
Revolving in circles of questions
We've all tried to answer for ourselves
The answer�s already inside us
Just Listen
And maybe you'll find an answer
You don't want to hear
It's only your diversions that keep it away
Just open up your eyes to see
Finally you'll understand to fill this void
Empty out entirely what's standing now




Insult To Injury

Take in from this
And breathe out open
Hug that uncertainty
As long as you can
A once seizing but now
Flailing and falling
Grasp at comfort�s hand
A brash defense of confidence
Is seemingly overwhelming disappointment
Carry it on disconnected
And drawn away from yourself
You buy more time with your lies
Running from mistakes that you've made
And when your time has been spent
You did not bother with faith
It's like you were never alive
Your hope has died
But rest in this
We will fight for you
And show you we care for everything
That matters to you
Promises held
Must have been lost or forgiven
Or buried under the broken glass
Beneath your window of opportunity
We will be the first to die
And we will be the first to win
Your walls will fall down
We'll tear down your walls
