Ghosts and Good Stories
Time waits for no one, the days grow older and I grow colder This Devil's on my shoulder and he's smiling at me But I don't trust what he's saying and I don't wanna believe I find it hard to cry when I'm spent Tie the wires around my head Pound the nails into my flesh and I'm bleeding again I'm diggin for ghosts and good stories scarlet to the bone If I kill all my demons - Will my angels leave me alone Time waits for no one, the nights get longer and I get stronger Your God is standing before me with his arms out wide But I don't wanna give in to him so he can judge me or my life I find it hard to cry when I'm spent Tie the wires around my head Pound the nails into my flesh and I'm bleeding again I'm diggin for ghosts and good stories scarlet to the bone If I kill all my demons - Will my angels leave me alone Time is like the wind, it leaves the light and lifts the heavy I've seen my fate and I'm not afraid, in fact I'm ready Each moment has its memory and this too shall pass Whether I wake or sleep I still believe that nothing last's... Forever Haughty eyes and a lying tongue Hands that shed innocent blood A heart that devises wicked plots - Feet that are swift to run I've burned my bridges down - Turned my back on this town I've burned my bridges down - Turned my back on this town Let us pray that we enter not into temptation The spirit is willing indeed but the flesh is weak And as you sow—shall you reap In loving memory

Hail Mary, full of grace Be my muse and give me strength Holy Mary, full of sin Hear my prayer and let me in Welcome to my long dark night - Can't sleep or close my eyes Little slices of death I loathe them - Refuse to get to know them My rebirth of a scream eternalux with a heart at peace O Lord have mercy - till it hurts - heed my words This revelation won't be televised My sacrifice will be this long dark night This revelation won't be televised My sacrifice will be this long dark night...of the soul Blessed is the one who reads - these words of prophecy Heavy is the hand that smites - In God we trust and fight We rise from the dead and write our own new testament O'Lord have mercy - I'm in mourning - heed my warning This revelation won't be televised My sacrifice will be this long dark night This revelation won't be televised My sacrifice will be this long dark night...of the soul This, my winter of discontent - listen as I repent Bleed for me on this night long - hear me as I speak in tongues Blasphemy is so easy - when you've lost your faith and don't believe Help me heal my mind -This happens every time Hands out wide I say to you - Praise my scars and sacred wounds Feel my pain and scripture inked in paint I'm no saint! This revelation won't be televised This revelation won't be televised This revelation won't be televised This revelation won't be televised On this long dark night of my soul

Excommunicated Another holy war The cost of friendship is this heavy cross I bare until I'm sore Don't find it necessary - to show my piety These are the end of days no solace in this city In a world that makes me sick - I will be your heretic In a world that makes me sick - I will be your heretic I split my lip - They cut their teeth Sometimes silence is - A perfect scream Don't ask why this stone is in my hand Won't be seeing you again my friend Excommunicated Another holy war Los Angeles is just a heavy dose of all that I deplore The shine has left me- with no remorse or love And all the soarings of my mind begin within my blood In a world that's filled with faith - You can't take my blasphemy In a world that's filled with faith - You can't take my blasphemy I split my lip - They cut their teeth Sometimes silence is - A perfect scream Don't ask why this stone is in my hand Won't be seeing you again my friend This is the story of brothers with dirty faces A city filled with angels liars and betrayers This is a requiem for a friend and born of hate A walk down memory lane that took it all away

Her hidden face offends - the righteous ways of men Beneath the veil lies - the meaning of submission Imprisoned in the dark - she fights to see the light Denied a voice to speak - and basic human rights Holier than thou - Heavier than God Blessed be thy name - It's coming down Heavier than God Holier than thou Inside the torture mask - her eyes are lined with black The cloth curtain covers - her beauty front to back And in the name of faith - she suffers for religion The cloak of fear and terror - is a war on women Holier than thou - Heavier than God Blessed be thy name - It's coming down Heavier than God Holier than thou So pious in their violence - against their women Misogynistic men who don't believe in freedom Persecuted, silenced, treated as possessions A profound reminder of oppression Holier than thou - Heavier than God Blessed be thy name- It's coming down Heavier than God Holier than thou Her identity remains a mystery Deprived of dignity and her self esteem Forced modesty - without equality Sacrificed her life - to live unseen

I walk without flinching Through this burning aftermath Hollywood is on fire again A sign something is about to happen I can hear the bell ring In the distance Death is upon us These streets are lined with lies LA’s an ugly face That wears a good disguise This town has lost it’s shine The hills have desperate eyes I breathe without feeling The sweet scent of regret in the air Too close for comfort Too far to care I can hear the warm winds Blow through the trees And something tells me It’s time to lеave These streets arе lined with lies LA’s an ugly face That wears a good disguise This town has lost it’s shine The hills have desperate eyes This town has lost it’s shine The hills have desperate eyes The walls are closing in The walls are closing in again Face down On the motherfucking pavement The walls are closing in The walls are closing in again I can feel the heat And six degrees of separation This town has lost it’s shine The hills have desperate eyes This town has lost it’s shine The hills have desperate eyes La Ciudad de la Ruina La Ciudad de la Ruina La Ciudad de la Ruina La Ciudad de la Ruina

A broken heart seems much too heavy - It's time to rest Carried it around so long, can't feel my chest Baptize my body and wash away these thoughts of doubt Bring back that feeling of which I can't be without Here I sit in aftermath But I've got more to give Tuesday feels like suicide But I just wanna live Heavy is a heart that breaks - It's time to mend Put it back together, cause it's not time to end Repent my sins and ask forgiveness for my fear Bring back that feeling that had almost disappeared Here I sit in aftermath But I've got more to give Tuesday feels like suicide But I just wanna live Here I sit in aftermath But I've got more to give Tuesday feels like suicide But I just wanna live True Friends, stab you in the front Not the back motherf*ckers like you did to us True Friends, stab you in the front Not the back motherf*ckers like you did to us Here I sit in the aftermath Here I sit in the aftermath Here I sit in the aftermath And after all is said and done...I'm coming back

Desperation looks so good She could smell a mile away Christ died for someone's sins And he's buried in LA Check your ego cause you're no hero Sincerity still seems so vulgar when it comes from you Saviourself Better save yourself Pretend to be her Jesus Inside that mound of Venus Resurrection feels so good Throw a party to celebrate Don't need you to kill my buzz You'd rather go home anyway Check your ego cause you're no hero Sold out everything you ever said and did When you knew us Saviourself Better save yourself Pretend to be her Jesus Inside that mound of Venus Saviourself Better save yourself You're just another Judas And just like everyone else Hey Mister remember me I'm the one with the sharp tongue Got it crucified in my cheek Drinkin whiskey shotgun Did you suffer much on that cross When you lost all your passion Well I guess it's true what they say Friendship is a fashion! Saviourself Better save yourself Pretend to be her Jesus Inside that mound of venus Saviourself Better save yourself You're just another Judas And just like everyone else The God of my rock Only in him will I trust He is my shield, my salvation Can I get a witness My one true saviour from violence

The city of angels is filled with apparitions Ghosts, Musicians and Politicians All waiting to shake your hand But they'll stab you in the back baby Just as quick as they can They got attitudes, cool moves and hidden agendas Hear me when I say.. Trust no one Cause you just might live to regret it someday Let us pray I'm coming down from the pain Those righteous lies I heard you say But I refuse to speak your name in vain I think its better that way Too many words were said This malediction is inside my head Jesus wept You made you're bed and now you'll lie in it Each day goes by with my regret I never wanted to believe you could I can't pretend it's all good Malediction Lyrics Lyrics College Too many words were said This malediction is inside my head Enshrined inside of my mind Is how I bury my dead How does it feel to be redeemed After you lost your faith You were pathetic when you prayed Just begging to be saved! The Judas left Our resurrection had to be your death I won't forgive or forget Too many words were said This malediction is inside my head Enshrined inside of my mind Is how I bury my dead How does it feel to be redeemed After you lost your faith You were pathetic when you prayed Just begging to be saved I'll never split that piece of wood Never lift that stone But I will be the one who collects that pound of flesh you owe... me

Faithful are the wounds when they're from a friend Harbinger of the end Hour of redemption Sitting here tonight in our earthly paradise Thinking about all those who have come in and out of our life Our beautiful house built of blood, sweat and rock If only these walls could talk Hold my hand, stretched to infinity and filled with memories Walk with me down this dark hallway together in all that we have weathered I can hear the bell ring somewhere in the distance And deep within myself I know that this too shall pass I can hear the rain outside The streets wet with regret How easy it is to remember How hard it is to forget Old photographs are burned into ash Let us toast the ghosts of our past Come for me and comfort me in this moment of memories In remembrance, these lovely bones of metaphors are the exquisite corpse of friendship I can hear the bell ring somewhere in the distance And deep within myself I know that this too shall pass Let us remember this feeling as we sit in front of our home For this house that we built, we built it alone 10 years strong with heart, soul and pride They tried to kill us but we have survived I can hear the bell ring somewhere in the distance And deep within myself I know that this too shall pass I can hear the bell ring somewhere in the distance And deep within myself I know that this too shall pass In the end, we will continue to do what we do Without them But never, me without you
