Track Lyrics

Catastrophist Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Who has the means to save us from ourselves?

To pull us from the vicious cycles feeding back again

Consume and feed, degenerate

We damage just to liberate

Bought and sold before we could even breathe

[Pre-Chorus]

I feel like we're falling

A lifeline just out of our reach

I feel our collapsing

The arrogant numb to our needs

[Chorus]

You’re a catastrophe

The one who's come to devastate

Catastrophist

You stole our innocence

You're a catastrophe

The one who’s come to devastate

Catastrophist

We never had a chance

[Verse 2]

How far along before we fade away?

So deeply out of focus but it seems we never cared

Deflect, deny what flows inside

The poison springs internalize

Bought and sold before we could even breathe

[Pre-Chorus]

I feel like we're falling

A lifeline just out of our reach

I feel our collapsing

The arrogant numb to our needs

[Chorus]

You're a catastrophe

The one who's come to devastate

Catastrophist

You stole our innocence

You're a catastrophe

The one who's come to devastate

Catastrophist

We never had a chance

Never had a chance

[Refrain]

Never had a chance

[Bridge]

Who has the means to save us from ourselves?

To pull us from the vicious cycles

Feeding back again

The bringer of our devastation

You stole our innocence

Bringer of our devastation

It's you, catastrophist

[Verse 3]

Consume and feed, degenerate

We damage just to liberate

Deflect, deny, what flows inside

The poison springs internalize

[Pre-Chorus]

I feel like we're falling

A lifeline just out of our reach

I feel our collapsing

The arrogant numb to our needs

[Chorus]

You’re a catastrophe

The one who’s come to devastate

Catastrophist

You stole our innocence

We never had a chance

You're a catastrophe

The one who’s come to devastate

Catastrophist

We never had a chance

Never had a chance

[Post-Chorus]

Catastrophist

[Outro]

The bringer of our devastation

You stole our innocence

Bringer of our devastation

It's you, catastrophist

Amongst the Shadows & The Stones Lyrics

[Chorus]

Bloody corpses, broken bones reveal

A throng of clashes crushed, our nightmare sealed

Amongst the shadows and the stones

[Verse 1]

Dying mother forced to reconcile

A hellish landscape just to feed her child

Our interest waning, we desensitize

Abusive power now becomes enshrined

[Pre-Chorus]

The harder we fight, the faster we fall

Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl

The joke in the end that no one will know

We're dying for nothing at all

The harder we fight, the faster we fall (Fall)

Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl (Crawl)

The joke in the end that no one will know (Know)

We're dying for nothing at all

[Chorus]

Bloody corpses, broken bones reveal

A throng of clashes crushed, our nightmare sealed

Amongst the shadows and the stones

[Verse 2]

Shining skies will bring on death below

A compromising choice now rings hollow

Self-interest gaining, killing monetized

A million lives to push the bottom line

[Pre-Chorus]

The harder we fight, the faster we fall

Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl

The joke in the end that no one will know

We're dying for nothing at all

The harder we fight, the faster we fall (Fall)

Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl (Crawl)

The joke in the end that no one will know (Know)

We're dying for nothing at all

[Chorus]

Bloody corpses, broken bones reveal

A throng of clashes crushed, our nightmare sealed

Amongst the shadows and the stones

[Bridge]

My fear is teething

Through salt and sweat

The air decreasing

Burns with regret

My fear is teething

Through salt and sweat

The air decreasing

Burns with regret

[Verse 3]

Crumbled cities scattered far and wide

The myth of mercy buried deep inside

[Pre-Chorus]

The harder we fight, the faster we fall

Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl

The joke in the end that no one will know

We're dying for nothing at all

The harder we fight, the faster we fall (Fall)

Stabbed in the back, defeated we crawl (Crawl)

The joke in the end that no one will know (Know)

We're dying for nothing at all

[Chorus]

Bloody corpses, broken bones reveal

A throng of clashes crushed, our nightmare sealed

Amongst the shadows and the stones

[Outro]

Amongst the shadows and the stones

Sickness Unto You Lyrics

[Chorus]

I, I give in

I am through

My sickness unto you

I give in

I am through

My sickness unto you

I give in

I am through

My sickness unto you

I give in

I am through

My sickness unto you

[Verse 1]

I felt your heart stop beating

With my own two hands

I felt my life lose meaning

I'll never be whole again

I held you in my arms

As she injected you with death

We made you feel like there was nothing wrong

[Refrain]

It won't stop

Replaying in my head

The opened eyes and mouth

Of my beloved

Who now is dead

[Verse 2]

I felt your heart stop beating

With my own two hands

I felt my life lose meaning

I'll never be whole again

I watched you start to fall

So I eased you to the ground

You looked both panicked and at peace

[Refrain]

It won't stop

Replaying in my head

The opened eyes and mouth

Of my beloved

Who now is dead

[Chorus]

I, I give in

I am through

My sickness unto you

I give in

I am through

My sickness unto you

[Post-Chorus]

(My sickness unto you)

My sickness unto you

[Bridge]

(A part of me is fucking dead

My lungs have filled up with regret

For every day I was away

I'll never be whole again)

A part of me is fucking dead (Dead)

My lungs have filled up with regret

For every day I was away

I'll never be whole again

A part of me is fucking dead (Dead)

My lungs have filled up with regret

For every day I was away

I'll never be whole again

[Refrain]

It won't stop

Replaying in my head

The opened eyes and mouth

Of my beloved

Who now is dead

[Chorus]

I, I give in

I am through

My sickness unto you

I give in

I am through

My sickness unto you

Scattering the Ashes Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Your face betrays your words

And those words gave way to hurt

The ground between us grows

Like wounds that never show

But the distance couldn't mend

'Cause the time ran out instead

The ground between us grows

Like wounds that never show

[Pre-Chorus]

Of father and son

Two lives now come undone

Of father and son

Too late, now all is gone

[Chorus]

So tonight

I'm scattering the ashes

[Verse 2]

Your face reveals your pain

Seconds lost, I take the blame

The cold light cuts the night

Your ashes come to life

What's left is in my hands

Will I ever understand?

The cold light cuts the night

Your ashes come to life

[Pre-Chorus]

Of father and son

Two lives now come undone

Of father and son

Too late, now all is gone

[Chorus]

So tonight

I'm scattering the ashes

[Bridge]

What's lost

We'll never know

What's lost

We'll never know

[Pre-Chorus]

Of father and son

Two lives now come undone

Of father and son

Too late, now all is gone

[Chorus]

So tonight

I'm scattering the ashes

Bending the Arc to Fear Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A strain of vigilance

Deep roots that all connect

We wait so diligent

Watching you

(Watching you)

[Verse 2]

An engine of suspicion

A web you can't escape

Crossing all lines to listen

Breaking through

[Refrain]

Prey upon you

The weak inherit all our scorn

Prey upon you

The fragile bones now ripped and torn

Prey upon you

The weak inherit all our scorn

Prey upon you

The fragile bones now ripped and torn

The Ones We Leave Behind Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you could break down and put yourself together

Then would all the pieces ever fit the same?

If you could see all the ways we're tied together

Would you pull apart the ugliness and shame?

[Pre-Chorus]

Gods walk amongst all

Without fear

Without tears

On a higher plane than any one of us

Gods walk amongst all

Without fear

Without tears

Tell me now, which side do you fall?

[Chorus]

Distraught faces

Vacant homes displace them

All the time

The ones we leave behind

(The ones we leave behind)

No hope, no help

Excuses replace guilt

Patronize

The ones we leave behind

[Verse 2]

If we could break through the structures built between us

Then would all the fault lines simply disappear?

If we could fight back (Fight back) and bring ourselves together

Then our sacrifices will not be in vain (Will not be in vain)

[Pre-Chorus]

Gods walk amongst all

Without fear

Without tears

On a higher plane than any one of us

Gods walk amongst all

Without fear

Without tears

Tell me now, which side do you fall?

[Chorus]

Distraught faces

Vacant homes displace them

All the time

The ones we leave behind

(The ones we leave behind)

No hope, no help

Excuses replace guilt

Patronize

The ones we leave behind

[Bridge]

If you could break down (Down) and put yourself together

Then would all the pieces ever fit the same?

[Chorus]

Distraught faces

Vacant homes displace them

All the time

The ones we leave behind (Gods walk amongst all)

(The ones we leave behind)

No hope, no help

Excuses replace guilt

Patronize

The ones we leave behind
