I thought you’d explain But got immorality I thought you would care But learned you’d abandon me Brittled your word Take pride through the hurt Skirt responsibility In the face of fatality Treat me like a dog While I obey your rules Forget me in the fog So you don’t have to feel cruel You knew that it hurt So you tried to disown me But no matter the hurt I still wish you could love me I want to move on but I can’t let this go I’m trying to heal But I’m so fucking Lonely I’ve never been the type to pray How funny now I find I’m on my knees As if I worship your disease Filling the sky with silent screams Forgotten footfalls lay behind me where your statues scowl and stare Eulogize while I self-baptize in an ocean of despair At the edge of light and darkness I found unwalked path Stride the threshold ‘tween resentment and celebration of past Trudging on now fertile soil Honor’s flowers grace this path Tilled in years of tears and toil Grown from grief and broken back Compromise of good from evil Guide me further on New religion: independence Found with whom I belong Now I write my own commandments And I control the game Master my own doctrine In my domain Fabricated incantations Free me from the sting I’m my own disciple And my own King During resurrection, I hear echoes of prayers since passed Recognize solitude precedes this, and forever may last With Ahab’s gift and Iroh’s wisdom, I’ll make brick from all this ash Deify the outcast in me, build him temples, hold his mass Coronation story Grew a crown of prongs My own scripture rules me I’m the hand that feeds Worried words steel my conviction How could I be all I need? When I’m God I only need myself.

Treat me like a disease When I try to stand up Force me back on my knees Heard you put on the crown Try to cover my head While the sky comes crumb’ling down Made you look like a clown Shrug as all those who laughed Are dead the next time they’re found Do I dare even groan? I’ll risk every last breath To infect your throne

Kat got your tongue? Where were those words when I broke? Immolation Godhead trip on your own smoke You sparked the flame You’ve got no one to blame No salvation while you keep runnin away How hard must I bite my tongue So I don’t spit any fire How long must I watch the pot Til you admit you’re a liar How long must I wish for death Before I find my nirvana How long must I hold my breath Til I escape from samsara Liar, Liar Pyre, Empire Trimming the fat? You’ve got weird ways with remorse Must’ve been high To think that we never were yours Court a new sect Don’t mistake echo for fact It's not that you’re wrong Just you won’t clean up the ash How hard must I whip my tongue So I don’t burn in your fire How long must I watch the pot Until I learn I’m a liar I no longer wish for death But I can’t find my nirvana Stuck here holding my last breath 'Til I emerge from samsara Liar, Liar Claim your empire Mother mercy give forgiveness Father anger gave me strength Taught myself how to be vicious Worming words into a blade Now I’ve found a center in this Storm of passion, piss, and pain Vengeance, such a cunning temptress Cut my tongue with my own blade

Behind the Curtain Another lie Another curtain Behind the lie Searching for truths With one blind eye Soothing your sorrow On borrowed time Behind the curtain another lie Another curtain Behind the lie Searching for meaning Of heart and mind With withered wisdom And third eye wide I wanna wander Let me sleep I’ll find my peace In here I’m free For once I’m Me I’m gonna wander Drift ever further I’ve been stuck in someone else’s dream Behind the Curtain Another lie Another curtain Behind the lie Your clouded judgment Makes only pain Shroud of my body Hides mind of rain Lets burn the curtains Lets go beyond Forget our worry Lets leave it all behind Oh no I wanna wander I choose to drift To where I please In serpentine Labyrinthine Adore the fractal and every stumble My nightmare’s someone else’s dream Drift on a raft of flesh and body Down every pipe and tributary No map to guide me on this journey No destination, planned return Aimless and without purpose Indulgence fill your soul Find yourself in this solace In this moment I feel whole I wanna wander

It seems that we’re drowning Sucked in by the undertow of the flood that we made Raindrops keep falling Boiling maelstrom, above your jury awaits You heed no more warning Need no poison in your ears When you’re shown to be wrong You meet your greatest fear Charybdis is calling Time to swallow you whole If the rain stops falling I’ll be prayin’ for more You Are a product Of a product Of a product of You Are a product Of a product Of a product of You Are a product Of a product Of a product of You Are a product Of a product Of a product of Silver seduced ya now I hear a storm comin’ now Mama bear angry now Mama bear comin’ now Silver seduced ya now Temptress got temper now Hear a storm growlin’ now Feel the earth shakin’ now Mama bear growlin’ now See a storm comin’ now I see her storm comin’ now I see her storm comin now Eye of Storm Wink at me Blow Tornado Kisses, tempt me Whisper Wind in my ears Make me weak in the knees Flood the Earth while my palms sweat I’m nervous, but we need this honey Once you’re finished, Ursa, will you hold me? May the ash cloud the sky so you’ll struggle to breathe May every river simmer while you’re dragged to the sea May the sun sear your flesh just like Scylla likes May it tear you to pieces much to mother’s delight The waves will come crashing down Smash all your shrines The tide will take the ruins out and leave nothing behind You started this fire, only now you bereave If you want a solution you should have listened to me Hear the storm comin’ now Mama bear growlin’ now Mama bear angry now Mama bear’s comin’ now

You say I’m strong while tears drip on my knees Tell me to carry on Make sure the war is won I’m growing prongs, but I feel weak Made me grow armor Force me to fight for longer I’m fighting battles I don’t wanna win Sword right through the heart Killing the innocent Will those above forgive me for my love? Loosen my grip So that the dead may win You say I’m strong like it will mend this wound But I don’t wanna heal Let me stay black and blue Bleed out through the hole in my heart May my armor rust In the name of lust Can you forgive me my insanity? My mind has slipped Bring back my innocence And those above can damn me for my love I’ve lost my grip Give back my innocence

Look at all the crumbled shrines That our egos left behind Where once our kingdom proudly stood Lays the rubble of our minds Beneath the makeup and disguises Lay wastelands where our armies fought Oh how misguided We were promised love and wine I found a memory from the time we thought we’d always be right Smile so innocent But innate human pitfall spread For once it's clear the well’s run dry We pump to fill our cups with dusty pride Now coins fill stomachs we quench thirst with lies In the land of the setting sun Masking faults as Persian Flaws Let your strength become your fall Manic while you writhe and crawl Confident god, sees no wrong Paint the cracks and hide the seams Gouge your eyes and cut your ears Pyrrhic win hot on your heels Time to regret, hindsight clear
