Track Lyrics
XX (City Grave) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
This injustice renders my thoughts ineffectual
Forgive me, Lover, and forget my sullen face
Privilege brings us to this place
Of human currencies
Buried our sisters in a glass display
Only to evaporate to a toxic skyline
Underneath we sell off the bodies
My body became a graveyard where they buried thirsty souls
Show me your righteous leader, I'll show you the bullet holes
The preacher [1] with the parched tongue and the "God" that he controls
"Shake off the sin, shake off the sin" and spit out your cacophony of lies
[Pre-Chorus: Garrett Russell]
I'll climb through your screen
And bleed out the image you left in me [2]
But God, are you man?
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
Then how do you see me from where you sit up in heaven? [3]
Looking down on my hell, my body chokes back
"I have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep
Where can I get living water?" [4]
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
Enslaved in the "Land of the Free" [5], my prison is our wedding bed
Where you left me for dead, you'll leave us for dead
Apathy was our anchor to a digital sea [6]
Where you drown in the comfort of our complicity
[Outro: Garrett Russell]
Can love save me?
Will Your wrath avenge us? [7]
Wasteland Lyrics
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
We "won the War" [1]
We made a temple to thieves
Enshrining the great criminal
Who promised heaven without God [2]
If we had sight to seem to see the seven seas could cease to be
Or freeze in me, we'd shake this sudden sundering
And subsequently cross the strait [3]
And traverse the wastes [4]
We'll beat our rifles to shovels [5]
And dig a proper grave for our sons
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
Who saw the end of God [6]: Wasteland
The flag will fall with the walls we built [7]: Wasteland
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell & Nathan Mead]
Apostate to the state, witness to the dead [8]
For you know only a heap of broken image [9]
And when you rid this earth of God
We shall shelter Him underground [10]
Fall into the coldest wastes of humanity
Darkening circles fed by deepening graves
"Death solves all problems" [11]
Your heart is a statistic [12]
No mother, no resistance
Still, she precludes the grave
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
They saw the end of God: Wasteland
The flag will fall with the walls we built: Wasteland
Wasteland
Depths II Lyrics
[Verse: Garrett Russell]
All the world was a dream I couldn't shake
In a midnight reverie of which I'll never wake [1]
That started mundane enough
With an incessant tapping on the windowpane, separating me from the storm
Where inside I sat, me the loathsome fool [2]
With my head cocked sideways in confusion
But as my looking glass [3] became a two-way mirror
And you can watch me hide from everything on this living sphere
But don't you dare darken my doorstep, [4] stranger
Never a step more, no, no, nevermore [5]
You see, I have this reoccurring dream
Where we snuck past scores of slumbering guards
And fixed that rustic iron key and that lock to set you free
"I would bring you liberty" where, in reality, I'm a coward
I'm collateral matter, swayed by banalities of time and space, I'm a name without a face [6]
My trepidation reached threshold, my terror turned to madness
When I awoke I was swinging at shrouded silhouettes and stumbled out the door
My anger was extinguished by this downpour
Compelled, void of volition
My steps propelled me through this chronic storm
Where there in the clearing, throughout the gaps in the trees
Dark smoke flickered from fire, illuminating my unease
Like clockwork, seven sisters [7] turned together in a circle
Autonomy abandoned, they moved singular and perpetual
Around a dark blue flame where I heard you call my name
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
"I am the fire that is never quenched
And I am the river that will not run dry"
When I slept in that garden [8]
Lord, did you see me as I was dreaming?
[Outro: Garrett Russell]
This is the end of everything
We'll lose our divisions and forget our names [9]
The precipice of eternity
I caught fire, I caught fire
I caught fire, and you'll watch me burn
