I was born to break, shallow paradise Consumed, I ignore meteoric rise If the blade is dull, there is consequence You displace the host, there is no defense Tell me the waves won't rise And monsters will fade with time To temper the blaze with the twist of a knife A sun killer lullaby They were born of dust, shallow parasite Breakdown, destruction, ocean floors collide If the blade is dull, there is consequence If I stay, I know I'll be violent Tell me the waves won't rise And monsters will fade with time To temper the blaze with the twist of a knife A sun killer lullaby Sun killer, sing me to sleep Sun killer, sing me to sleep Sun killer, sing me to sleep Sun killer, sing me to sleep Sun killer, sing me to sleep Sun killer, sing me to sleep Sun killer, sing me to sleep Sun killer, sing me to sleep Sun killer, sing me to sleep Sun killer, sing me to sleep

Woke from a vision, the plot is still fleeting I carry you with me, but I know what I saw Hole in my head is in the shape of a man I swear it was an illusion of the retina Already seen, but cannot access my memories With repetition in my temporal lobe Relief is fleeting, I know something is with me Release the pressure, the leviathan flows Soma cell Soma Ross Nothing saved Double knot If I tie up the loose ends into a forceful mechanical movement Hemisphеre intuition, deal with the light if it doеsn't enter Where was the grace when I was asking for it? There is an absence in your phosphenetic Fear, full of hate, perforates me like a yellowjacket Where was the grace when I was begging? I was asking for it I thought the cut was just a laceration (Laceration) Now I recall that it was visual (Visual) It's just a phrase to induce decapitation Once you taste it and see what I saw There's no turning back, oh Soma cell Where was the grace when I was asking for it? There is an absence in your phosphenetic Fear, full of hate, perforates me like a yellowjacket Where was the grace when I was begging? I was asking for it Woke from a vision, the plot is still fleeting I carry you with me, but I know what I saw Hole in my head is in the shape of a man I swear it was an illusion of the retina

I was looking for the wrong way out Empty road is like an open mouth If I stay, they're gonna cast new doubt upon me now If the sun is setting on my side Like a vesper in the eventide Then their lips are gonna open wide Serpent tongue How could I know when the ebb and flow would desert you? How can I crawl up to reach those heights and run? The venom is what keeps me alive The venom is what keeps me alive Up to the summit at night Dеsperate to find that beating hеart of mine that always makes me run Isolation if the road can't wind Force of nature in a different time Setting sun is gonna make me blind to my faults Echo chamber in a canyon height Take the exit where no one can hide If their lips are gonna open wide Serpent tongue How could I know when the ebb and flow would desert you? How can I crawl up to reach those heights and run? The venom is what keeps me alive The venom is what keeps me alive Up to the summit at night Desperate to find that beating heart of mine that always makes me run I could not go on Break me down and hold me 'til the dawn Poison is the purposeful, it's gone Desperate to find that beating heart I could not go on Break me down and hold me 'til the dawn Poison is the purposeful, it's gone Desperate to find that beating heart And run The venom is what keeps me alive The venom is what keeps me alive Up to the summit at night Desperate to find that beating heart of mine that always makes me run The venom is what keeps me alive The venom is what keeps me alive Up to the summit at night Desperate to find that beating heart of mine that always makes me run The venom is what keeps me alive The venom is what keeps me alive

You crush a delicate moth wing I see the stain on your fingertips As if the body was absent As if the flame was a sycophant And now I carry you with me Wrapped in my thoughts like a spiderweb I let your words get the best of me An unconditional relevance Digested Spit out and then Misdirect This bitter end You wrap me up like silk in the strings that pluck me to feed I escape, but I carry you with me Harvest and bring a yield sickening A mistake, but I carry you with me Cut Byzantine, so brilliant Fade 'cause it's all temporary Silk in the strings that pluck me to feed Escape, I carry you with me Eyes shining in the dark Like crystal pools I can hear your heart Disgusting Fade from me You wrap me up like silk in the strings that pluck me to feed I escape, but I carry you with me Harvest and bring a yield sickening A mistake, but I carry you with me Cut Byzantine, so brilliant Fade 'cause it's all temporary Silk in the strings that pluck me to feed Escape, I carry you with me You wrap me up like silk in the strings that pluck me to feed I escape, but I carry you with me Silk in the strings that pluck me to feed I escape, but I carry you with me

It's not that you opened my heart Folding like a reptile, colder in the light It's not that the agony starts To pull me like a riptide, pulsing in time It's one by one, cut the circulation As the dust settles for you Flood in the cut will run An eternal blue sun to illuminate old wounds I wish my blood would slow down And what's left of me, a cavity At least this space is mine It's where you left me to die I wish my blood would slow down You can make my blood rush Slow down It's taught that consuming their hearts Will soothe you like a brush fire, consuming on the incline Not that thе sediment starts To hold me likе a sapphire, frozen in time It's one by one, cut the circulation As the dust settles for you Blood in my eyes will run An eternal blue sun to illuminate old wounds I wish my blood would slow down I'm waiting And what's left of me, a cavity At least this space is mine It's where you left me to die I wish my blood would slow down You can make my blood rush Slow down And what's left of me, a cavity At least this space is mine It's where you left me to die I wish my blood would slow down Oh, you make my blood rush Slow down

I am coasting on nice dreams Lonely, folding on each other And waiting for great things But all they do is stop To grace me with cold sleep If I breathe in, I feel another Erase me to pace me And hold on to the drop Sunken in, now we live in a strange world Sunken in, now we live in a strange world You let the bastards grind you down Collapse a vein so you don't drown Sunken in, now we live in a strange world I was straight seamed and naïve Unturned stones and plastic diamonds That made me heavy I'm rolling to a stop If greatnеss leaves me alonе I know I won't recover Erase me, pace me I'm waiting for the drop Sunken in, now we live in a strange world Sunken in, now we live in a strange world Don't let the bastards grind you down Collapse a vein so you don't drown Sunken in, now we live in a strange world Circle me in cerulean Pressure me in the counterfeit Shelter me in complacency The ghost of me will finally sleep in the blue Sunken in, now we live in a strange world Sunken in, now we live in a strange world You let the bastards grind you down Collapse a vein so you don't drown Sunken in, now we live in a strange world

Sickle, sickle, set me aside Burn the bridge, no mercy tonight As they run to retrograde love And I know the spectre is calling Mountains are falling below into replication And I lay to waste my life, halcyon days and nights So I could be one of them, I could be one of them Promises buried twice, down where they won't survive So I could be one of them, gripping to relevance (These silhouettеs will drive me crazy) Brittle sparrow, palе by design Delicate, they corner my mind Feel them run, I'm feeling them run Precious is the retrograde In power, with no emotion It brings devotion and starts to fade And I lay to waste my life, halcyon days and nights So I could be one of them, I could be one of them Promises buried twice, down where they won't survive So I could be one of them, gripping to relevance (I could be one of them) These silhouettes will make me contemplate (I grip to relevance) Will I fit or will I fade away? (I could be one of them) Burning bridges as devotions fade (I grip to relevance) Irrelevance is eminent, I could be one of them
