Deliver Us
you are the only one with the ability to turn this tide with the capacity to learn the truth and burn the lies that signalize our disgust so come with me, I'll be your doomsayer and show you everything that you'll never see behind borrowed eyes you're living in the end you're not alone decrepit monuments sit on their own thrones the crushing weight relentless in its pull resist! or be diluted with the rest all weare, leads us to inherent insurgence it leads you to deceive yourself when you believe you've been bled dry and aren't you sick of waiting for nothing facilitating all your demons staring at the sun I watched it rise and collide with this dream where I had stopped living in the past stopped living with that crash/burn longing it'll pass it brings you to your knees reliving that same nightmare where you realize.. and who can save you, not their gods and not their masters and who will free you, look in the mirror

on dawn of the day I arose to the thunder again the pounding in my head it doesn't seem to phase me how every scream the pretend not to hear echoes through me standing, complacently waiting I try to tell myself our lives are worth more than this so give me a chance to take it all back, I'll show you that I'm worth more than your pittance or pity it's a spit in the face so don't even try to explain the earth shakes beneath my feet and as these buildings they crumble around me I call out if you can hear me come and let me out, oh please break me out! and give me sanctuary you know this whole world knows you won't be satisfied 'til you fill up another cemetery it's all a game to you we won't be fooled by you into thinking that it's easy, nobody said this would be easy to swallow or process or fake and dark will be the day when I elude their desires no longer will I be..

You and me, we're the same Asking for more More than the numbing existence Offered us all What did they say? What did they do? To make you crawl back in Despite everything that you've been through You're still right here Where I left you We can lift up our heads to the sky Find all of those strings that they're pulling And keep from falling back In through our own rhythmic poses Turning us into machines And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in anyway We won't all look the same way down And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in anyway Then we'll all take the same way out And all these illusions Dropped on a sea of believers Crowding around as they hunt me down And throw me out While all the rest of the others Bang their heads in the trenches And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in anyway We won't all look the same way down And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in anyway Then we'll all take the same way out So don't give up on me We can be still pretend This is all just a game That'll work itself out in the end

crossed out of our mindscapes we're frozen in the time stretched around your face a mask a clever disguise ever so enticing this corroding chemical synapse spawn of a beast an ethereal drain tatters on the brink burst into a cloud of spores explode into the atmosphere weaving our lives with chaotic design siphons what's left inside suppress us impress us with subtle delusions and life-like proportions bled into one another plagiarize our dreams a rift in eternity all encompassing within it's entirety.. baptized in fire leeching the underbelly tired traditions retired a discord within the choir so sing the praise with your noiseless voices and pass the blame in the age of distorted reality refined relief in chaos unleashed we find release

These solemn words whispered in a haze could you even see me standing there all wrapped up in insecurities that wont stop spilling out all over me and in your eyes I see so much more than that place you always go back to you can pull yourself away from that face that constantly haunts you a graceful approach that you carry on and carry yourself in such a way that could never be recreated and in your eyes I see so much more than that place you always go back to you can pull yourself away from that face that constantly haunts you we're in too deep, go back to sleep if this feels to synthetic then its all be a dream calling on our contracts controlled contained under pressure so fall forward into me and let it all pour out you owe this to yourself, and there's only one way out so rest your head and close your eyes just one more step till we're over the edge

After the torchlight red on sweaty faces After the frosty silence in the gardens After the agony in stony places The shouting and the crying Prison and palace and reverberation Of thunder of spring over distant mountains He who was living is now dead We who were living are now dying With a little patience Here is no water but only rock Rock and no water and the sandy road The road winding above among the mountains Which are mountains of rock without water If there were water we should stop and drink Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think Sweat is dry and feet are in the sand If there were only water amongst the rock Dead mountain mouth of carious teeth that cannot spit [poem excerpt from T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land"]

All their reign falls to the earth just the same so turn and look the other way because you’re a failure time and again and you can try to black it out stomp the fire out, fuck your tail and run don't move and inch your war pig fuck, you just stand right there and receive your judgment All their reign falls to the earth just the same and even as I waste there words on you and your mock reality, you'll still go down in history see: stupid spoiled little shit nearly wiped us out and by the time that you realize the damage you've done you'll be long fucking gone, you coward you puppet All their reign falls to the earth just the same and you can try to black it out stomp the fire out, fuck your tail and run don't move and inch your war pig fuck, you just stand right there and receive your judgment

On the threshold of life as we know in a chasm cascading to the core where nothing seems real anymore in between the obtuse and obscene so let the rains come down and explore the possibility that it all ended that day, and like all you dark clouds you sceptics denying your true nature took away past the concrete and the steel flowing down to the valley below drawn out for 99 years splitting the seas this terrestrial being so let the rains come down and explore the possibility that it all ended that day, and like all you dark clouds you sceptics denying your true nature took away dormant beneath us what was will be dwelling within us what is will be no more and maybe it's not all what we built it up to be sustaining scientific prophecy

We keep drifting on and on across this barren wasteland seared earth laid waste on another plane of existence blinding brilliant light alludes to the illusion of serenity so show me what it takes to fall asleep on the eve of destruction set ablaze like the plague in our brooding creations look up and align with the fire in the skies blinding brilliant light alludes to the illusion of serenity so show me what it takes to fall asleep on the eve of destruction cracked with the drought something amiss in the bleak blissed out song in our heads completely depleted blinding brilliant light alludes to the illusion of serenity so show me what it takes to fall asleep on the eve of destruction flashing fading in and out showered in sweet redemption that final glimpse into abyss on the brink of eruption

This world is dying everyday don't let it come between us our fate has traveled this far and now the storm brings us faster to a close brimming with pathetic prose vacate your stolen hearts as if nobody's seen us and empty out your pockets you needn't bring anything where we're going and to think we created this monster crawling in and walking out on us to think that we craft our own disasters falling in and falling out of hope don't leave me, I need this unleashed and unafraid, us castaways calling out release us, propelling towards insidious decay at an alarming rate and to think we created this monster crawling in and walking out on us to think that we craft our own disasters falling in and falling out of hope don't leave me, give me release don't sink down into defeat only when you're through fleeing can you save yourself deliver us
