There’s a shadow Where can we go It’s getting dark, I’m running low Did we ever throw off the yoke When I’m tapped out When I’m drained Kill the king Break the chains Visions set in from the air growing thin The gaps in our world closing in It weakens the skin It’s poisoning No such thing as sin
2.
You Can't 02:49
You you can’t you you can’t you can’t make me What are you what are you afraid of We take the hits we take the damage We heal we heal We take the hits we take the damage We heal we heal Mouth full of spit but I’m not choking I am not your perfect victim
3.
&Your silence hurts Like a curse Feel my insides burst I rest my faith in this dirt At what point do we become The ones on the run The effortlessness you seemed possessed of only ever makes it harder To open my mouth To pull the sound And there's no peace of mind to be had For the living who walk among the dead
4.
These are only men We are monsters they didn’t intend to create They were given all their power from a false place Fire over wine every time every time Fuck you & fuck your father too These are only mortals Playing at playing at god We are coming we are coming To raze their palaces to the ground Fire over wine every time every time Fuck you & fuck your father too Gauntlets over winning hands Fuck you & fuck your father too The overlooked the underfed the overwhelming sense of dread We are tired, we are poor In the shadows we’ve grown sure Fire over wine every time every time Fuck you & fuck your father too May all your institutions fall to ruin May your complexes all drown May you live to see the moment It all comes crashing down

Ascension 04:17
You cause me grief you cause me grief & when you’re sweet & when you’re sweet You just get stuck between my teeth & the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief You cause me grief you cause me grief you cause me grief But when you’re sweet oh when you’re sweet I want so much to believe I fool myself but I can see In the mountains there you feel free But not with me But not with me but not with me Not the with power that I wield I am the spear I am the shield She smoothed her hair with automatic hands I wash it clean What’s it like to have this function What’s it like to have control Free of all infatuation To never feel this heavy toll

Moss Creep 03:38
If you are the boneyard then I am the rain that Uprooted the corpses and Awakened the pain If you are the forest then I am the flame That quickened the fires & consumed this place The premise of planting Our bodies as seeds Will it bloom this year Or be choked by the weeds of these Recollections & these memories Distorted reflections recalled by degrees Now it's just a dull ache where you used to take up space If we walk through the ashes Will we do come through unscathed When the smoke fills our lungs Will we still be afraid Can it ever be laid to rest Will it fade into dust
