Track Lyrics

Rain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every time I'm left alone
My misery begins to drown me
Tied by a rope (Of anxiety)
Thrown overboard
[Pre-Chorus]
As I'm pulled under the tides
Of this fast-paced world
Of this fast-paced world
I refuse to see
[Chorus]
Time will always be (Be)
The thing that kills me truly (Truly)
Open these eyes waking (Waking)
From a dream feigning (Feigning)
[Verse 2]
My lungs fill up with letdown
Disappointment in self and everyone
Expectations died in failure
Abandonment, my un-savior
[Pre-Chorus]
As I'm pulled under the tides
Of this fast-paced world
Of this fast-paced world
I refuse to see
[Chorus]
Time will always be (Be)
The thing that kills me truly (Truly)
Open these eyes waking (Waking)
From a dream feigning (Feigning)
[Bridge]
Absolution at the sight of your demise
I know what I must do
Choke
Die choking on your every word
Swallow every blasphemy
Absolution at the sight of your demise
I know what I must do
Swallow every blasphemy
Eat out your heart and make it bleed
[Outro]
Tie the noose around my neck
Make this life end

Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The face and the lips tremble as it rips
Your breath quickening as heat rushes in
[Chorus]
Pull harder, strings, martyr
"Stop," you cry, "That's a lie"
Flush, gasping, white, reddening
You smile and destroy it, it's time that we end this
[Post-Chorus]
It's our curse that makes this world so hopeless
Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings
[Verse 2]
Clawing the skin, each kill, your weakness
Annihilation, your masturbation, tyrant, I'll burn you down
[Chorus]
Pull harder, strings, martyr
"Stop," you cry, "That's a lie"
Flush, gasping, white, reddening
You smile and destroy it, it's time that we end this
[Post-Chorus]
It's our curse that makes this world so hopeless
Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings
It's our curse that makes this world so hopeless
Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings
[Bridge]
My hands grip your throat, I need your end
Burned, staked, ripped apart, I avenge
For every life you have taken
I am here to repay
You ask me, "Oh, God, why?"
'Cause I'm God's fucking why
For every life you have taken
I am here to repay
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Pull harder, strings, martyr
"Stop," you cry, "That's a lie"
Flush, gasping, white, reddening
You smile and destroy it, it's time that we end this
[Post-Chorus]
It's our curse that makes this world so hopeless
Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings
It's our curse that makes this world so hopeless
Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings

Like Light to the Flies Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Behold our beloved revels
In tragedy (In tragedy)
Self-denying avarice for bloodshed
Behold hypocrite
[Pre-Chorus]
Those who run will be burned
Those who run will be burned
Those who run will be burned
Those who run will be burned
[Chorus]
Devoutly wished for blinded eyes
This tragedy's like light to flies
This seems to suit you better
Bleeding out the eyes (Bleeding out the eyes)
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies to make the truth
[Verse 2]
Behold our beloved revels
In tragedy (In tragedy)
Self-denying avarice for bloodshed
Behold hypocrite
[Pre-Chorus]
Those who run will be burned
Those who run will be burned
Those who run will be burned
Those who run will be burned
[Chorus]
Devoutly wished for blinded eyes
This tragedy's like light to flies
This seems to suit you better
Bleeding out the eyes (Bleeding out the eyes)
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies to make the truth
[Solo: Beaulieu]
[Solo: Heafy]
[Outro]
Devoutly wished for blinded eyes
This tragedy's like light to flies
This seems to suit you better
Bleeding out the eyes (Bleeding out the eyes)
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies to make the truth
This seems to suit you better
Bleeding out the eyes (Bleeding out the eyes)
Hope's left in chain suspension
Holding onto lies to make the truth

Suffocating Sight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am but a farce, a satire of stability
Insecurity is an uphill struggle
It's me versus the world
The shore still starves for another
[Refrain]
Novel of my shipwrecked being
Tied up, dried, alive, still breathing
The sands of time for me are running out
[Verse 2]
My hands shake in apprehension
Of every action, I'm guilty of playing the victim
The shore still starves for another
[Refrain]
Novel of my shipwrecked being
Tied up, dried, alive, still breathing
The sands of time for me are running out
[Chorus]
Just like the embrace of arms that made you
They'll surely destroy you
[Breakdown]
It's time for your panic
Then it kills and makes you manic
[Bridge]
Making its way inside, relax, it's all right
Making its way inside, relax, it's all right
Panic grips your frantic breathing
I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I can't breathe!
[Solo: Beaulieu]
[Chorus]
Just like the embrace of arms that made you
They'll surely destroy you
Just like the embrace of arms that made you
They'll surely destroy you
Just like the embrace of arms that made you
They'll surely destroy you
[Outro]
Just like the embrace of arms that made you
They'll surely destroy you

Departure Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This weight is so unbearable, caving my lungs
All my life seems to be flashing in front of my eyes
Run away from all the pain, all the pain of life
[Refrain]
Run away from all the pain of life
[Verse 2]
Ways of devotion turn to obsession
Open your eyes
I want you to see what you've done to me
Crying out those eyes
Run away from all the pain, all the pain of life
[Pre-Chorus]
Run away from all the pain of life
Bring my end to an end
[Chorus]
Distance yourself from the pain
That covers me
I reach out for your hand to find
There's nothing left for me
[Breakdown]
Razors kiss the vein
Overdose for pain
A 12-gauge cross kisses the forehead
A savior in a shell
Sever me from the fall
Fuck the people, fuck the world, fuck it all
Open my arms
Bleed out the flood
In crimson, I begin to drown
Sever me from the fall
Fuck the people, fuck the world, fuck it all
Open my arms
Bleed out the flood
In crimson, I begin to drown
[Solo: Beaulieu]
[Pre-Chorus]
Run away from all the pain of life
Bring my end to an end
[Chorus]
Distance yourself from the pain
That covers me
I reach out for your hand to find
There's nothing left for me
Distance yourself from the pain
That covers me
I reach out for your hand to find
There's nothing left for me
