Don't let me lose control, can't fight the disease
I'm letting it all go to fall on my knees
I know that the decay will eat through the bone
Watch my life fall away into the unknown
Drones
Take me away
There is a veil of lies that shrouds the face
There's memories inside they said they'd erase
What I can't understand is what I can see
The empty shell of man that I used to be
Drones
Take me away

Impulses
05:44
|

We want what anybody else would want
To live and die free of guilt
What I can't seem to wrap my head around
Are these walls that we have built
Ah, I hate myself for this
You know that I can't let this be the end
Watch and wait
The gears begin to turn
There is something imprinted in us
It defines our being, chooses who we become
To fight the impulses, we lose ourselves
Destiny begins to fade away
You know that I can't let this be the end

Fading Into Static
02:56

I have a target for you
Engage with extreme prejudice...
Move them out of the open
I didn't copy your last request
Say again
I've lost him
He's gone

Softly on the path you fade
In shining darkness
On the path you fade
and the forest grows dark
Casts long shadows on my heart
here midst the flaming
near snowing wolf paths
among the winds that bows the great trees
in their might

Whatever the stars would say
You said you would believe
When they told you to go
You said that you'd leave
There's no point in trying
You can't think without their song
I'm hoping that someday
I will prove them wrong
She was gone by moonlight
Said she'd travel by starlight
Where has the time gone
Slipping through my fingertips
I thought I had control
I thought you were a part of this

As We Embrace, We Fall
05:18
|
|||
These trembling hands can't scrawl a word
The demon's breath upon my neck
I'm waiting for the clouds to break
For the unconceivable
As we embrace, we fall
This storm will not let up
I'm struggling to stay afloat

Echoes of Lonely Lust
04:39
|
|||
Dreams untouched by empty hands
Endless silence flows throughout the hallways
It creeps down the passages where no one
Dares to enter or even talk about
Eerily, we look at each other and those words of compassion
That were never spoken fall out in syllables
We think we understand, but we don't
Embrace
Try to forget about what was said
Destroy feelings and emotions that will help me to rebuild
Barriers block out understandings of understatements
And words laced with feelings that we can never explain
In the first place
But here we are
We use the elevators and stairwells and telephones
And cell phones but are we really communicating?
Are we really moving?
Is the slow crawl of insanity and depression dragging
Us along with the tidal wave we call morning?
or is it... mourning?
Whats the difference?
We wake up and they're both there
The sun blinds our eyes and we smash our alarms
And sluggishly devout ourselves to a higher cause
To the paper or plastic, love or hate atmosphere
And back in the oaken hallways the
reverberations of the lonely sound of love is
echoing off the doors and old picture frames and
Finally plants itself in a corner
That no one will ever pay attention to
When will it blossom? When will it bloom?
Who will find it when it is most ripe?

THE BRINGER OF THE BLOOD MOON RIDES FORTH THIS NIGHT
WOE IS HE WHOSE MORTAL EYES LAY UPON THE STEED
WHAT HO; THE MOON BEGINS TO WEEP
