Track Lyrics

Granite Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sulfur on your breath
Granite in my chest
You won't ever have to talk about it
You'll never wanna talk about it
Fury too damn late
Reason dislocates
And you'll never have to talk about it
You'll never wanna talk about it
[Chorus]
I was more than just a body in your passenger seat
And you were more than just somebody I was destined to meet
I see you go half-blind when you're looking at me
But I am
Between the secondhand smoke and the glass on the street
You gave me nothing whatsoever but a reason to leave
You say you want mе, but you know I'm not what you need
But I am
[Verse 2]
When you'd sit there acting likе you know me
Acting like you only brought me here to get below me
Never mind the death threats, parting at the door
We'd rather be six feet under than be lonely
And if you had a problem, then you should have told me
'Fore you started getting all aggressive and controlling
You only drink the water when you think it's holy
So keep an eye on the road or we will both be here forever
[Chorus]
I was more than just a body in your passenger seat
And you were more than just somebody I was destined to meet
I see you go half-blind when you're looking at me
But I am
Between the secondhand smoke and the glass on the street
You gave me nothing whatsoever but a reason to leave
You say you want me, but you know I'm not what you need
But I am
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I was more than just a body in your passenger seat
And you were more than just somebody I was destined to meet
I see you go half-blind when you're looking at me
But I am
Between the second-hand smoke and the glass on the street
You gave me nothing whatsoever but a reason to leave
You say you want me, but you know I'm not what you need
But I am

Aqua Regia Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, my love is an animal call
Cutting through the darkness, bouncing off the walls
Between teeth on a broken jaw
Following a blood trail, frothing at the maw
These days I'm a circuit board
Integrated hardware you cannot afford
The perfect start to a perfect war
Putting down the roses picking up the sword
[Refrain]
Aqua regia
Aqua regia
[Verse 2]
Well, my past is a holy book
A call from Olympus, ringing off the hook
Between the pain and the way you look
I'm stuck in a time where the mountains shook
And these days I'm a picture frame
Screaming at the sunshine, singing in the rain
Sugar on the blood cells, carbon on the brain
All of Eden's vices running through my veins
[Chorus]
Aqua regia
Oxytocin running in the ether
Silicon ballrooms
Subatomic interactions if it's all good
Gold rush, acid flux
Saturate me, I can't get enough
Cold love, hot blood
Running to your heart when you're thinking of
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Oh, when I am done dancing to alarm bells
No wonder my ears are still ringing
And I am done fighting off change
No wonder my arms are still swinging
[Chorus]
Aqua regia
Oxytocin running in the ether
Silicon ballrooms
Subatomic interactions if it's all good
Gold rush, acid flux
Saturate me, I can't get enough
Cold love, hot blood
Running to your heart when you're thinking of

Ascensionism Lyrics

[Intro]
Well, I know what you want from me
You want someone to be
Your reflection, your bitter deception
Setting you free
So you take what you want and leave
[Verse 1]
Who made you like this?
Who encrypted your dark gospel in body language?
Synapses snap back in blissful anguish
Tell me you met me in past lives, past life
Past what might be eating me from the inside, darling
Half algorithm, half deity
Glitches in the code or gaps in a strange dream
Tell me you guessed my future and it mapped onto your fantasy
Turn me into your mannequin and I'll turn you into my puppet queen
[Verse 2]
Won't you come and dance in the dark with me?
Show me what you are, I am desperate to know
Nobody better than the perfect enemy
Digital demons make the night feel heavenly
Make it real
'Cause anything's better than the way I feel right now
I can offer you a blacklit paradise
Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky
[Verse 3]
Lipstick, chemtrails, red flags, pink nails, with
One eye on the door, other eye on a rail
Other other eye following a scarlet trail
And the last few drops from the Holy Grail, now
Rose gold chains, ripped lace, cut glass
Blood stains on the collar means just don't ask
Be the first to the feast
Let's choke on the past and
Take to the broken skies at last
[Bridge]
(Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky)
(Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky)
(Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky)
(Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky)
(Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky)
(Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky)
(Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky)
Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky
[Breakdown]
You're gonna watch me ascend
[Verse 4]
And I know what you want from me
You want the same as me
My redemption, eternal ascension
Setting me free
So I'll take what I want then leave
[Outro]
You make me wish I could disappear, no
You make me wish I could disappear

Are You Really Okay? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I raised you in the dark
Caught you reading by the sunrise
You wandered from the path
Through the silence of the hillside
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And don't you know
I could see it in you even then?
And don't you know
I was trying to hold back the darkness?
[Chorus]
And are you really okay?
Are you really okay?
[Verse 2]
You woke me up one night
Dripping crimson on the carpet
I saw it in your eyes
Cutting deeper than the scars could run
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And don't you know
I can see it in you even now?
And don't you know?
I want to help you but I don't know how
[Chorus]
And are you really okay? Yeah, yeah
Are you really okay?
[Bridge]
And I
I cannot fix your wounds this time
But I
I don't beliеve you when you tell mе you are fine
[Outro]
Please don't hurt yourself again
Just please don't hurt yourself again, no
Please don't hurt yourself again
Please don't hurt yourself again

Take Me Back to Eden Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I dream in phosphorescence
Bleed through spaces
See you drifting past the fog
But no one told you where to go
We dive through crystal waters
Perfect oceans
But no one told me not to breathe
And now the weightlessness recedes
[Chorus]
My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and thе gods grow tired
Reset my patiеnt violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
[Refrain]
I will travel far beyond the path of reason
Take me back to Eden
Take me back to Eden
Take me back to Eden
[Verse 2]
Well, yeah, I spit blood when I wake up
Sink porcelain stained, choking up brain matter and make-up
Just two days since the mainframe went down and I'm still messed up
Room feels like a meat freezer I dangle in like cold cuts
Missed calls, answer phones from people I just don't trust
Mirror talk, fake love
But I'll take a pound of your flesh before you take a piece of my paystub
White roses, black doves
Godmother, rise up
I need you to see me for what I have become
[Chorus]
My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
[Verse 3]
I guess it goes to show, does it not?
That we've no idea what we've got
Until we lose it (Until we lose it, until we lose it)
And no amount of love will keep it around
If we don't choose it (Choose it)
And I don't know what's got its teeth in me
But I'm about to bite back in anger
No amount of self-sought fury
Will bring back the glory of innocence
[Chorus]
My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
[Post-Chorus]
When we were made, I know
It was no accident
You know my desire
We were tangled up like branches in a flood
[Refrain]
I have traveled far beyond the path of reason
Take me back to Eden
Take me back to Eden

Euclid Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just run it back, give me five whole minutes, I am
Thick tar on the inside burning
I've got a ghost in the hallway grinning and a
Heavy head that won't stop turning
If my fate is a bad collision, and if
My mind is an open highway
Give me the twilight two-way vision
Give me one last ride on a sunset sky lane
[Refrain]
Call me when you get the chance
I can feel the walls around me closing in
[Verse 2]
Just running forwards, a life like wires as I
See the past on an empty ceiling
I play along with the life signs anyway but
Hope to God you don't know this feeling
Yet in reverse you are all my symmetry
A parallel I would lay my life on
So if your wings won't find you heaven
I will bring it down like an ancient bygone
[Refrain]
Call me when you have the time
I just need to leave this part of me behind
[Verse 3]
Do you remember me
When the rain gathers?
And do you still believe
That nothing else matters?
For me
It's still the autumn leaves
These ancient canopies
That we used to lay beneath
No, by now
The night belongs to you
This bough has broken through
I must be someone new
[Bridge]
No, for me (Just run it back, give me five whole minutes, I am)
(Thick tar on the inside burning) It's still the autumn leaves
(I've got a ghost in the hallway grinning and a)
(Heavy head that won't stop turning) These ancient canopies
(If my fate is a bad collision and)
(If my mind is an open highway) We used to lay beneath
(Give me the twilight two-way vision)
(Give me one last ride on a sunset sky lane) No, by now
(Just running forwards, a life like wires as I)
(See the past on an empty ceiling) The night belongs to you
(I play along with the life signs anyway but)
(Hope to God you don't know this feeling) This bough has broken through
(Yet in reverse you are all my symmetry)
(A parallel I would lay my life on) I must be someone new
(So if your wings won't find you heaven)
(I will bring it down like an ancient bygone)
[Outro]
The whites of your eyes
Turn black in the lowlight
In turning divine
We tangle endlessly
Like lovers entwined
I know for the last time
You will not be mine
So give me the night, the night, the night
