Self Employed Chemist Lyrics
5 ContributorsSelf Employed Chemist LyricsIt's like you know the words
But you can't hear the music
You've lived a lie for so long
Now you believe it
You're shooting silver bullets
And taking magic pills
I'm asking you, do you know a way to delete my conscience?
Don't put your ear to the floor to hear the sound of the future
Yours is a history shaped by disaster
We're coming back for you
You better brace yourself
I'm telling you
We're coming back
To collect that killer
Who killed me and threw me away
Am I holding you up
Or you holding me down?
You killed me and threw me away
Am I holding you up
Or you holding me down?
We make the same mistakes
We always count them
I want to fail you so badly
I'm telling you
We're coming back
To collect that killer
Who killed me and threw me away
Am I holding you up
Or you holding me down?
You killed me and threw me away
Am I holding you up
Or you holding me down?
What if I have to lose?
What if I have to suffer?
So what if I have to lose?
So what if I have to suffer?
You killed me and threw me away
Am I holding you up
Or you holding me down?
You killed me and threw me away
Am I holding you up
Or you holding me down?
Death of the Anti Mother Lyrics
5 ContributorsDeath of the Anti Mother LyricsI hope you burn forever
There will be no other way
No other way
No other
No more suffering
No more trust will be lost
No more wounded
No more blood will be shed
Just know, I mean to harm you
I want to see you choking and kicking in your own blood
We all have our own personal hell
I just hope yours burns brighter
Deception has become your right hand
Confusing the sight of my life
You won't leave the way you came and now
No more blood will be shed
No more blood will be shed
No more blood will be shed
No more blood will be shed
No more blood will be shed
We will burn for this
We will both of us burn
We will burn for this
We will both of us burn
We will burn for this
We will both of us burn
We will burn for this
We will both of us burn
We will burn for this
We will both of us burn
We will burn for this
We will both of us burn
Surrender Your Sons… Lyrics
[Intro: Cory Brandan]
Left alone
[Verse 1: Chino Moreno]
Your pale skin is a razor sharp wire
So I place these scales over my eyes
Don't touch me, I'm sick
You whisper, but I hear only what I choose
[Chorus: Cory Brandan & Chino Moreno]
Hello my good old friend
Your hand pulls me back from that mire
Will I look back and stare
And wonder if she is way back there?
[Post-Chorus: Chino Moreno]
But afterwards my mouth
Will be filled with gravel
And I'm left alone
[Verse 2: Chino Moreno]
You know that feeling of fear and desperation
In the pit of your stomach that's making you nauseous
Excitement, apprehension
You wish you could lose it all
[Chorus: Cory Brandan & Chino Moreno]
Hello my good old friend
Your hand pulls me back from that mire
Will I look back and stare
And wonder if she is way back there?
Hello my good old friend
Your hand pulls me back from that mire
Will I look back and stare
And wonder if she is way back there?
[Post-Chorus: Chino Moreno]
But afterwards my mouth
Will be filled with gravel
And afterwards I'm left alone
[Bridge: Cory Brandan & Cove Reber]
The fear of dealing with this is stronger
Than the fear of just forgetting this
And future, I am scared of you
[Interlude: Cory Brandan]
Left alone
[Chorus: Cory Brandan & Chino Moreno]
Hello my good old friend
Your hand pulls me back from that mire
Will I look back and stare
And wonder if she is way back there?
[Outro: Cove Reber, Cory Brandan & Cove Rever]
I swear I will find my way back
I swear I will find my way back to the light
I swear, I swear
Now that I'm left alone
I'm left alone
…Discipline Your Daughters Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't recall that last day of sun
Curtains closed
And sitting with the lights out
An uncertain emptiness surrounds me
I'm numb and my judgments
Have switched to autopilot
Nothing left but echoes
And the thoughts of moving on, moving on
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't stay away
Don't stay here
[Chorus]
Tell me all your secrets
I promise I'll be listening
And if you ever come back home
I'll be waiting patiently
Tell me nothing sacred
I promise I won't hear a word
And if you ever come back home
I won't act so patiently
[Verse 2]
Black feathers
And an unannounced call
These things go hand in hand
These things go hand in hand
Like talking to you
And the intake of glass
I hope this knife in my hand
Speaks for itself, speaks for itself
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't stay away
Don't stay here
[Chorus]
Tell me all your secrets
I promise I'll be listening
And if you ever come back home
I'll be waiting patiently
Tell me nothing sacred
I promise I won't hear a word
And if you ever come back home
I won't act so patiently
[Post-Chorus]
She's not coming back
Not coming
[Bridge]
Tell me all your secrets
I promise I'll be listening
And if you ever come back home
I'll be waiting
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't stay away
Don't stay here
[Chorus]
Tell me all your secrets
I promise I'll be listening
And if you ever come back home
I'll be waiting patiently
Tell me nothing sacred
I promise I won't hear a word
And if you ever come back home
I won't act so patiently
[Outro]
She's not coming back
And There Will Be a Swarm of Hornets Lyrics
[Verse 1: Cory Brandan]
I built this destruction with my own hands
With my hands I will help pull it down
Pull it down, pull it down, pull it down
And like the worker bees, silenced by that swarm
I'll make a new home, a new home
[Chorus: Cory Brandan]
String me up, just leave me here
And I'll find my way back home I swear
Find my way back home I swear
[Verse 2: Cory Brandan]
These are not the plans I made
This is not the life I wanted
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Pull it down
With broken bones and vital organs
Far from functional, I am ruined, I am ruined
[Chorus: Cory Brandan]
So pull me down, just pull me down
And I'll find my way back home I swear
Find my way back home I swear
[Bridge 1: Cory Brandan]
What you can't pull from me, pull from yourself
What you can't pull from me, pull from yourself
Pull from yourself, pull from yourself
What you can't pull from me, take from yourself
[Bridge 2: Cory Brandan, Lainee Gram & Ali Pantera Abrishami]
We know what we have to do, yeah
We're not going anywhere, no
With blood stained glasses
(We know what we have to do)
Staring straight at me and just careless
With that lidless gaze I am ruined
(We're not going anywhere, no)
I am ruined
[Chorus: Cory Brandan]
I need to be saved, to be save
Pick me up, just pick me up
And I'll find my way back home I swear
I'll find my way back home I swear
I'll find my way back home I swear
I'll find my way back home I swear
[Outro: Cory Brandan]
What you can't pull from me, pull from yourself
What you can't pull from me, pull from yourself
Pull from yourself, pull from yourself
Yourself, pull from yourself
What you can't pull from me, pull from yourself
[Instrumental outro: 4:54-9:22]
