Concede

I am sanctified
I am wasted life
I am all you've ever wanted to be
I am endless time
I am on your side
I know all you ever wanted to be
Don't let me cross your mind
Don't let me know I'm right
After all, what’s left to be
Of the vacant and the free?
Slaughtered for a hide
Elevated high
Saved for all the moments that you need
Durable but wild
No concerns, I’m fine
Hold me up ’cause I can barely breathe
Drown my past behind
’Til it’s left on high
Break me down and wipe me clean
Forget all at once, concede

Thirteen Steps
03:45
|
|||
|
Take 13 steps
Straight to the noose
You strung around
In 13 loops
I had to watch you run
Since I was only nine
Your stomach never full
Your heart beat out and dried
Can I erase your name
Or at least disengage with mine?
My neck still rests
On your party lines
Forget all you ever hoped to be
Honey, don't you know
All you kept isn't free?
Make it last too long
Or make it hard to take
Honey don’t you see
Everything is meant to break?
Am I next?
Have I earned an older age
And a life well spent
Venerated and kept away?
Am I chasing love
I'm not worthy to pursue?
Is it stupid luck
That taught me to...
We're all just meant to break

Mother Tongue
02:55

Are the wolves
Upon the porch
Or were they bred inside?
Do they speak
Your mother tongue?
Do they share your clouded eyes?
There is no Kingdom Come
No song left to be raised
No color in your voice
No splendor on the page
But I heard it in your stories
I heard you kept a flame
When you were on the run
When you were not afraid
Were you not once me?
Take our lungs
Or take the will of the martyr
Placed on your fathers' tongues
You kept it silencing faster
The longing for purer blood
Love on your lips
Lust on your breath
Still holding back
Once me,
Who believed?
Well I'm not dwelling on factors
Held only hereafter we leave
Who believes?
Breaking silence far after
The impossible actors
Only detracted
A faith in brothers deceased
Don't hold me back

Nice to see you're still in costume
The party ended, everyone is gone
You took the drinks right from our hands
Made a scene and no one cared
Go drive your diesel off the pier
No one wants you here at all
Take your fucking friends and go
We’re better off with no commotion
Get yourself a new tattoo
The eagle thing is ostentatious
I don’t want to know
How much more then plot can thicken
Take your shit and go
Your welcome here is overridden
A couple years and you’ll be gone
I know you’ll leave a mess
We’ll cheer and celebrate the day
A graduate with no degree
Another useless employee
Broken bonds and sloppy cons
I'm so sick of waking up to
What the hell have you been on?
Why should any faith be in you?
Day in and day out
Quote false idols and heretics
Just take your fucking friends and go
Away

Fears Reborn
03:44
|

Wake up with a whimper
You stretch your arm to find
No partner in your bed
No rest met with your mind
Look out across the floor
Your clothes still thrown about
Watch everything still spinning while you wait it out
All my clothes are faded and torn
All my will is gone
And all my fears reborn
Never walk out my front door
Every step feels like a trap
Nothing shocks me anymore
I just want my simple life back
All my days are all the same
We'll never be bored again
Every love's been sent away
We'll never be torn again
Take a breath and calm down,
It’ll all be over soon
My lungs both at capacity
Your eyes are swollen too
I hope this decision haunts you
'Til the day you die
Don’t forget that we’re the blinding pain
That’s right behind your eyes

A Battleground
03:12
|
|||
|
My blood is a battleground
My body’s on its way
I walk out to subtle answers
And questionable faith
With your arms in hand
What’s a better plan
Than having all you say
Come back to berate, come reiterate
Still call us cowards
Everything I thought I stood for
Has been burned into the ground
Sneak in overnight and take my life
Without making a sound
Can we act like we’re okay?
Can you think of anything that’s left to say?
Blood in my mouth
Try not to shout
Lash the fuck out and pretend we’re okay
I look up from the past
Don’t you regret everything?
Nothing torn
No subtle pass
Don't you regret everything?
...Don't you regret anything?

Like Going Home
04:51
|

|
I remember the walls
I remember the claws that tore them down
In the eye of a god
I took all I could carry on
'Cause there was never a doubt
Of where the storm was draining out
I remember the walls
I remember the comfort that they brought
It felt like going home
It felt like hot air in my lungs
It felt like all we’d known
It felt like falling out of love
I remember that fall
I can still hear the sound of calming down
When a song took us all
On the road to a hurried, hurried crown
But still no one shed a broken bone
Still no one, could run,
Could stop their own sight unknown
