Inherit the Earth Lyrics
[Intro: Garrett Russell]
After the fire, after the rain, after the sacred kissed the profane
When you came and left again, such a captivating pain
After that night, I left my comfort to find where your body lies
I'd wander upon this grave then fall, I'd fall inside
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
I searched the clearing for that spark, hands sifted through the ash
Knowing what we felt was real,but some delusions never pass
So I took shelter in the woods with the naked shaking trees
Deciduous, fraternal twins, we're both wilted, stem and leaf
Then the mist turned sleet, turned snow
My senses shook numb, I've nothing to show
But a rain-stained book that once contained my literary charades
New blots of ink, archetypal shapes, and shades
Bleed through each and every page
And I ask myself, what's the weight of my life on the scales of eternity?
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
We inherit the earth, we inherit the war
I inhabit the wound, I dwell in the harm
Oh, how far we fall: we're casualties of time
Oh, how far we fall: begin to forgive existence
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
Retreat back from the reaching trees
When a frigid shadow climbs right inside of me
That specter of recompense, it's a sound I heard ever since
[Bridge: Garrett Russell]
Amidst the endless mortal strife
And the constantly dying light
The truth we felt from the start
"How can I hold myself together when everything falls apart?"
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
We inherit the earth, we inherit the war
I inhabit the wound, I dwell in the harm
Oh, how far we fall: we're casualties of time
Oh, how far we fall: forgive existence
[Outro: Garrett Russell]
I wandered upon the altar of human invention
An exhibition of erudition
Find me here, Son of Man
How far we fall
Nervosa Lyrics
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
Look straight through me, look at the nightmare
Our past is but a dream that we're trying to escape [1]
Trying to evade to erase ourselves
Look through me and see the advent of our obsessions [2]
Behold, your child, perfection
A rotting shell of atrophy
Watching: crowds like crows, we furiously flock to tragedy
Observe the hurt then hasten back to our peaceful, quiet nests of blasphemy
Scapegoat: rather die and know, [3] drag your failing body in tow
Witnessing the wake, conflagrate the ready oil at the stake
Binging: the culmination of purging what our lusts have borne
We hoarded all the world to find we'd lost any semblance of ourselves [4]
[Pre-Chorus: Garrett Russell]
This dying dance
[Chorus: Cory Brandan & Garrett Russell]
I am not my own reflection
I am not myself, I am not myself
No, I am haunted by a non-existent lover
The specter, the ghost, the soul-starving host [5]
I am haunted by a non-existent lover
I was gifted with the vision but cursed to be the witness [6]
Invisible to me
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
I'll be pale to match the walls and warped to trace the beams
Flushed to fit across the floor so you can step right over me
Scouring this filthy slate, these crooked bones they won't break straight
Cracked and splintered like our house, upended by that first summer squall
Fading: so thin, you could snap me into the shape you need
Gaunt enough to slide through that wedding dress then stitch me to a
Fraying matrimony
Embalmed inside a never-ending ceremony [7]
[Chorus: Cory Brandan & Garrett Russell]
I am not my own reflection
I am not myself, I am not myself
No, I am haunted by a non-existent lover
The specter, the ghost, the soul-starving host [5]
I am haunted by a non-existent lover
I was gifted with the vision but cursed to be the witness [6]
[Outro: Cory Brandan]
Invisible to me
Invisible to me
Invisible to me
[8]
No Place to Breathe Lyrics
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
I saw you stumble out from the social slaughterhouse
Oppression's progeny, you lift your head and plead for mercy
Rocks began as building blocks until they turned to throwing stones
A monolith of dominance we set atop your plinth of bones [01]
This privilege [02] is a prism, reflecting our indecision
The iniquities of inhibition, our indifference gave way to a prison [03]
Classes at war, [04] castes are born, criminals are sworn in [05]
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
Place your hands to the pulse of this city [06]
Keep your ear to the ground, hear her gasp
"I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe" [07]
Are we so blind to believe that violence could give birth to peace? [08]
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
Lay down our weapons and raise our arms [09]
Make every breath a protest
In a world where your neighbors cannot breathe
Every second in the shadows [10], lives are stolen in the sun
Slowly waking from our apathy to see the fascists have won
They already won
Just ask the child in front of the smoking gun [11]
Are we so blind to believe that violence could give birth to peace?
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
Place your hands to the pulse of this city
Keep your ear to the ground, hear him gasp
"I can't breathe, I can't breathe" [12]
We shout at fascist [13] hands, fixed on asphyxiating those in need
Place your hands to the pulse of this city
Keep your ear to the ground, hear them gasp
"I can't breathe, I can't breathe" [14]
Are we so blind to believe that violence could give birth to peace?
[Outro: Garrett Russell]
I've seen the end
The tyrant on his knees [15]
Will we starve our need for retribution
Or take his eye and all go blind? [16][17]
First Father Lyrics
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
Do you remember when I said
You'd never feel the sting of death? [01]
But now I’m waiting where you left
Beside that snow-kissed clearing [02]
I pressed a seed through that frozen fleece
The earth embraced you in the ground
No invention of my mind
Will ever compose a melody so profound
I’m a priest afraid to pray [03]
Terrified at what the silence couldn't say
Tongue tethered to the skeptic beating in my chest
[Pre-Chorus: Garrett Russell]
We're no longer quite ourselves
Nor reflections of someone else
Lover, do you feel that tension
As we drift between silence and eternity?
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
Death is the road, road to awe [04]
I stood atop the world
Its asymmetry laid bare in front of me:
Thanatophobic societies taking life to mourn their tragedies
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
I feared this world would never change
But you steady your resolve anyway
Let's set the pen against the sword [05]
How orphans long for peace before they learn to love the war
Perhaps it's our language [06]
Perhaps we are incomplete
Words like shadows to what we see
Faint flickerings across the cavern in our minds [07]
[Bridge: Thomas Freckleton]
Candles in the dark [08]
Defiant to the night
[Bridge: Garrett Russell]
"You pulled me through time" [09]
Through the edgeless night [10]
I learned to love as you learned to die
I'll begin to feel again and finish the chapter you couldn’t write
[Outro: Thomas Freckleton & Garrett Russell]
Candles in the dark
Defiant to the night, defiant to the shadow
You pull me through time, through the edgeless night
I learned to love as you learned to die [11]
