It Dies Today
Album • 2006
We awoke in the midst of a vicious cycle, Becoming the satellites whose transmissions are static served As of late, it seems my audience has been lacking I can only pray that you're tuning in during a moment of clarity, Just to hear me utter these spiteful words before the signal fades (chorus) Here's hoping this becomes the soundtrack to your misery The hook that rips right through your chest Enjoy this constant reminder of your fickle nature And the hideous facade you wear so well The crowd gasps in awe as my head began to swell And the whites of my eyes slowly turned to red Just then did gravity created such a dramatic end I can only pray that you're tuning in during a moment of clarity, Just to hear me utter these spiteful words before the signal fades Here's hoping this becomes the soundtrack to your misery The hook that rips right through your chest Enjoy this constant reminder, my double standards And the hideous facade I wear so well The twilight, projects this message, to a populous who's turned their backs The twilight, screen my words across the sky, Look up in wonder (chorus) Fade as we burn (x2)

Fearful and numb, I can now accept Deceit and dependency are my preeminent assets Defined, a word etched in skin Sweet host I'll feast within (chorus) Oh, how one taste will haunt the senses and my dreams I fiend the touch of your flesh, A lust which brings us no end Dissolution quenched on fleeting hands Drowning myself in seas of compromise Fair ladies and harlots submerge with this sinking ship Black urge, I swore to dismiss Your minions keeps on starving (chorus) One taste of impure blood has left a bitter taste Pending a lust which brings us closer to false heaven (chorus) (x2)

Tonight, we're drunk upon our nostalgia So raise a glass to the black maria Through laughter seems to soothe the pain of adoring what I violate I'm sick to death by the irony and all the lies that we create When we're feigning every red letter day (chorus) The chemicals aid in our neglect, feigning all of adoration Destined it seems for this disease, becoming all I loathed Feigning all our adoration Dissembling passion, Our foreplay to debauchery A perfume of zinfandel and coffin nails Intoxicates, fair Judas goat, now you've got your sheep I'm sick to death by the irony and all the lies that we create When we're feigning every red letter day (chorus) Track marks and a trail of hearts will guide you home, There is a bleak horizon everywhere I roam (x2) (chorus) Track marks and a trail of hearts will guide you home, There is a bleak horizon everywhere I roam (x2)

From the gutter, the diamond seemed far to bright to see The gleaming eyes always tend to turn away, just turn away Every innocent wish has granted tragedy And our hands have since been soild in the blackest of coal (chorus) Most days I'd sit and wish for this place to fall into the bay, Its greatest offense being thievery A nightmare awakaned by the boundless waters Will see a broken vow thrust ino the arms of hell bound cowards And I've found the perfect accessory to that beautiful gown The handsome ghost of me (chorus) Most days I'd sit and wish for this place to fall into the bay, Its greatest offense being thievery And I will wash away the sins of former lovers A trail of stillborn conquest in my wake, tonight Take this four fingered salute I gave the fifth for you, my dear May it beckon you to the salts below (chorus)

Been waiting for and end in a life filled with all those little stories (Say what you want, say what you need) Our last encounter still stings like alcohol And all the stones and prison bars that stood in the way of my amends Forgive me (chorus) I know you killed for me, you're sailing with the rock, Aileen Promise you'll come for me the sixth of June will bring you home Say what you want, say what you need cause tonight is your last chance to reach me Hope and love seem to be a wasted in this mortal reality Say we'll meet again on the sixth of June There won't be a heart to break this time And all the souls of fallen men won't stand in the way of our love again Forgive me (chorus) (x2) I know you killed for me, you're sailing with the rock, Aileen Promise you'll come for me the sixth of June, our lord will guide you home Say what you want, say what you need cause tonight is your last chance to reach me

These bones are brittle and fragile to the touch Farewell, the dear departed Bury all vices and these tired metaphors before our time is over The chest aches and swells though in eternal sleep Fret not, my dear We'll meet again at Saint Peter's gates Reignite the fires in this frigid heart of mine Wake me from this slumber (chorus) But it was circumstance that was flirting with disaster And destiny was sharing your bed Welcome the discontented and fix this sorry soul With tactfulness and grace The end starts a new cycle of pain, never-ending pain In time, you'll see the destroyer of all that's holy Reignite the fires in this frigid heart of mine Wake me from this slumber (chorus) I'll surrender to flames you started and use them to light my way I'll remember the thrill of romance, as long as you light my way (chorus) But it was consequence Just promise to light my way

He's reigning down on the shadow lands again Born as the bastard son, lost in his own pretension Dastardly concerned, yet chipped away in time You'll come to find out that your boy is never coming back (chorus) He's reared himself a throne, so bow to your king of nothing Drowned himself again in black bile, bow to your king His majesty, the wretch He's drenched himself in the sweetest of all sin Just one more rail he cries, as one foot graces his grave Fearlessly inept, a failure from the womb Apologies but your boy is never coming back (chorus) He's failed you all once again, conquered by the poisonous bliss There will be no revival this time around He's failed you all once again, conquered by the poisonous bliss Well, he's far too gone now, too far gone to save (chorus)

Pessimism aside, I'll search to the edge of the earth just to find the Enchantment of her voice in perfect rapture Steered by the sound of persuasive song, seeking my dear absolution With tears to match my plaintive woes, we'll create our own truths Through these timeless fables, for this I've waited so long (chorus) The fates have spun a noose, it seems Please siren set me free And ravish me with seraphic song Seduction leaves the lips of the exquisite siren Attired in white, leaving me in a asphyxiated reverie Can we re-write history? Develop an ending without you drowning in the black depths (chorus) With each note and word I fell victim to the sound of her resplendence personified Set me free, siren, set me free (chorus) With each note and word I fell victim to the sound of her resplendence personified Oh, siren, set me free, ravish my with seraphic song

And so it erodes, from the septum to a numbed aorta Yet I longed to run as I watched you grow smaller And finally fade into the long perspective This time you won't be calling out and I'll keep on longing As you keep on walking (chorus) We'll never walk together through leaves and over bridges Or hear the sound of bells ringing out from that lone tower Steps strive towards forever Yet broken limbs keep this child where he lies Awol and choking on the bitter taste of desperation The leaves still turn This time you won't be coming back A lifetime of longing, we all saw it coming I longed to run (chorus) Remember me from time to time And all I'd sacrifice in my life to share just one last walk with you Remember me, remember virtue Remember me I won't fade away, just long for another day

Through the shadow of night, the lost and the sullen Pariahs ignite the skies, leaving our worlds behind Pillaging life beneath a western sky Not one soul to spare, falling to their knees Praying to idols who are no more than vagrants spreading disease But we're just feeding the frenzied, luring them in and quenching an insatiable thirst For the grim and despairing lay (chorus) We're on the road to damnation, upon horses pale we ride Plaguing the earth everlasting, as the hounds of hell do bite Through the piles of flesh, the damned and putrid These mavericks will now descend, leaving our brides behind Demoralize beneath a western sky Not one soul to spare, falling to their knees Praying to idols who are no more than vagrants spreading disease But we're just feeding the frenzied, luring them in and quenching an insatiable thirst For the grim and despairing lay (chorus) We're on the road to damnation, upon horses pale we ride Plaguing the earth everlasting, forever we will ride

How's the air up there? With the faithless and aborted souls And when the worms carried it away Did you cry? Did you feel? Did you see me pray? To gods and demons all alike, to those who would lend an ear that night Three thousand miles high, these wayward wanderers fly Halfway to heaven, yet a stones throw from hell Through infinite sorrow soars our exquisite belle (chorus) Turn loose the doves and marvel at their flight with fractured wings Turn loose the doves and listen to the morning chorus start to sing Anthems of loss, all for you, they are all for you My muse, I never wanted this to fall apart Choke on the air up there, from the acid and reviled clouds And when we glance down upon our shrine There?s no viol, violet, and no vine Nor rays from holy heaven bright Sweet muse, how far have we strayed from this guiding light? Halfway to heaven, yet a stones throw from hell Through infinite sorrow soars our exquisite belle (chorus) Scarlet drenched and song less birds, deliver us from the underworld Halfway to heaven, yet a stones throw from hell Through infinite sorrow soars our exquisite belle (chorus) This was what I've got!! Hope I helped!

Words like violence Break the silence Come crashing in Into my little world Painful to me Pierce right through me Can't you understand? Oh, my little girl All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Vows are spoken To be broken Feelings are intense Words are trivial Pleasures remain So does the pain Words are meaningless And forgettable All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm All I ever wanted All I ever needed Is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm Enjoy the silence Enjoy the silence
