Ceasing to Breathe

Bare your teeth sneering smiling smirking Bare witness to the old made new To the walking sleepless death approaching silent Innocent eyes fascinated Fixated statues Beneath the stone a sacred flow waiting and dormant Awakened a burning light with claw and crown Lie manifesting The wings of angels crumble to the earth Scatter the pieces as a child's treasure O' searing anomaly with vampire's hunger craving helpless Sink your teeth into me I can see the spirit in your eyes and the passion undisguised Take all of me Bare your teeth Inhale the life right out of me to fill your empty sea Take all of me Take all of me Bare your teeth The wings of angels crumble to the earth Scatter the pieces as a child's treasure O' searing anomaly with vampire's hunger Sink your teeth into me I can see the spirit in your eyes and the passion undisguised Take all of me Bare your teeth Inhale the life right out of me to fill your empty sea Take all of me Take all of me Take all of me Take all of me You will know the poison is moving through you quickly and you will know When the fever sets in When the fever sets in Once you've turned there's no looking back I lay myself before you where you can Sink your teeth into me I can see the spirit in your eyes and the passion undisguised Take all of me Bare your teeth Inhale the life right out of me to fill your empty sea Take all of me Bare your teeth

It's alright, I can't believe I finally made it this far. At what great length I've prayed. I finally learned to let it go. I swam against so many ocean currents to get here. And my arms aren't nearly tired yet. And the undertow. It means nothing. Caught in the undertow over and over again. Nothing can drag me down. Nothing can pull me under. When I held on, I could have drowned. When I held on, they spilled my young blood. I swam against so many ocean currents to get here. And my arms aren't nearly tired yet. Caught in the undertow over and over again. Nothing can drag me down. Nothing can pull me under. Planted the demon seed. Fell out of the demon tree. Growing from the demon ground. Now I'm cutting the demon down. This is what it sounds like when Self love and self hate do battle. Sound the alarm. Run for your life. The diamond glare of the sun rests on the ocean with waves cresting above me. I can see it's rays piercing through the water as I sink into the birth To be born anew... With no memory of you. Caught in the undertow over and over again. Nothing can drag me down. Nothing can pull me under. Caught in the undertow.

Free yourself. Release. Don't conform. Refuse. You can breathe new life inside yourself. Run into the looming storm. A sun will rise and a brand new day is born. The evening breathes a setting sun to sleep. Walk. A lantern within. Shine straight down below. You can breathe new life inside yourself. And run into the looming storm. A sun will rise and a brand new day is born. The evening breathes a setting sun to sleep. We will finish what we have started. We won't become one of the departed ones And fall. We won't become one of the departed and fall. Writhing in darkness. Writhing in chaos. We will finish what we have started. We won't become one of the departed ones. We will finish what we have started. We won't become one of the departed ones.

The morning star appeared to feed on the weak of heart. Pulled through the onslaught of struggle. You won't find me here. You won't find me here. Seek to devour there is a war in my head seeping out There is a war. Seeking. Fearing nothing but shadows... ...left from a whisper... Prince of all pretensions chasing the sound of mind Slipped through the cracks of intention. You won't find me near. You won't find me near. Seek to devour. There is a war in my head seeping out. This is a war for no one else to see. Fighting so we can be free. Let go of your inhibitions. This is a war! Eye to the sightless eye. Face to the blistered face. Bore to broken. Weak to the weakened man to crippled man. This is a war for no one else to see. Fighting so we can be free. Let go of your inhibitions. This is a war. At long last... this chapter has come to an end. We won't forget the memories. The starless nights up above. ...And the warmth of a summer fire. Now that fire is burning our cities down I can hear the echoes of our brothers Screaming from the rooftops. This is a war for no one else to see. Fighting so we can be free. Let go of your inhibitions. This is a war for no one else to see. Release your inhibitions. This is a war.

In and out of consciousness This vision comes to me again and again A light without a flame Embrace the end Embrace the end of a needle Cure sight and march Another hallucination Cure the night that fell within Mislead by an aberration Yesterday is gone To fire to flame Yesterday is gone To fire to flame All in all you watched me crawl from the ground From fire from flame Feasting on the eyes of another The same eyes to see Eyes to heal, eyes to burn A prophecy came to me Where torment is washed away Focus clearly swallowed the edge of disaster Walking on the edge of disaster Cure sight and march Another hallucination Cure the night that fell within Mislead by an aberration Finally awake from a distance Always loved you from a distance Getting closer to your embraces Becoming paralyzed in you Take me with you on the edge of a needle Take me with you on the edge of a needle Take me with you

Ceasing to breathe as you first appear Set my heart ablaze Gasping for breath The coming of ages is finally upon me There's nothing in this world that could pry you away The innocence you hold brings me to my knees Your touch, your love... Every waking moment longing just to hold you near Your touch, your love... This search for your embrace Desperation for your touch Ceasing to breathe Parting the seas for your coming arrival Something within me Fierce and relentless Life itself dissipates Your touch, your love... Every waking moment longing just to hold you near Your touch, your love... This search for your embrace Desperation for your touch There is a place where two beating hearts connect and you will find me there Where I am waiting for you Follow the river of tears to where I am This bottomless devotion and endless adulation... I could spend forever in this place We made it something so real There's nothing in this world that could pry you away The innocence you hold brings me to my knees Your touch, your love... Every waking moment longing just to hold you near Your touch, your love... This search for your embrace Desperation for your touch Your love...

Awake This lack of sleep is killing me Running from myself armed to the teeth In a dream I become the hunted, stalked by my own hand There is a candle burning from both ends Put me down. Someone put me under. Say goodbye to validity Awake until our final day Until a black sun rises up A blood red tide will sweep us all away There is no end in sight Until I walk this cold earth alone This absent sleep is cutting deep, it's killing me Searching for an end to exhaustion armed to the teeth In a dream I can't recall what never was The peace I never held. The comfort of silence Awake until our final day Until a black sun rises up A blood red tide will sweep us all away Vigilance eating it's way through like acid. Nothing will stand Sinking lower and lower.. Everything turns black.. And my sight is lost

You bring the cancer in every direction. The snake from below will rise up and put you down. Down, down. Listen, an instance today. Death beyond reason. Dismay. Breathing a fire free of desire. You're leading a thieving parade. With what angst do you lead your pursuit? With what angst do you lead? Back down. What you ingest and what you devour is only what you make it. Seek me out in your silence. Hold your tongue or be silent Or you forever will be hopeless in despair. Your home is a crippled caress. Playing, enraging detest. Your destination beyond devastation. Your only strength your weakness. On what grounds are you pointing your finger? On what grounds you rebuke? Mock. Pray. Hurt. Pray. Cut. Pray. Lash. Pray. Seek me out in your silence. Hold your tongue or be silent Or you forever will be hopeless in despair. Hopeless in despair. Death is but a vulture preying on your flesh. Wake to the sound of your own voice screaming yourself out of bed. Death is but a vulture preying on your flesh. Wake to the sound of your own voice screaming yourself out of bed. Seek me out in your silence. Seek me out in shadows. Hold your tongue or be silent. Seek me out in your silence. Seek me out in shadows. Hold your tongue or be silent Or you forever will be hopeless in despair. Hopeless in despair. Hopeless in despair. Hopeless in despair.

Watched you come so far. Shined like a blackened star. Watched you get torn apart with the teeth of a broken heart. A widow dressed in black spins her web. We watched you rise. Fall. We rise together and fall for the better. Live. Die. Live for each other and die for another. Reprise. Watched her crawl so far. Held her in his arms. She'd broken their hearts and broken their minds. Her venom ate through their lives. Rise. Fall. We rise together and fall for the better. Live. Die. Live for each other and die for another. Contemptuous. Sardonic. Let her be a widow dressed in black. She will not face you. She will not face you. She will not face you. She will not... She will not face you. She will not face you. She will not face you. She will not face you. Go hungry for ruin. Tangled in evil. Ever so fearless, this blackened priestess. Deceitful Sorceress. Blinded by her own shroud. She was always too proud. The king with no master reigns in disaster. Reigns in disaster. Rise. Fall. We rise together and fall for the better. Live. Die. Live for each other and die for another. Rise. Fall. We rise together and fall for the better. Live. Die. Live for each other and die for another. Watched her crawl so far. She will not face you. Let her be a widow dressed in black. Let her poison another fellow. She broke their hearts and minds. Watched her crawl so far.

I cursed. In the path of those who wept before. Conception. Bitterness, my shroud that I take comfort in. There's something different in the depths within. A presence over pretense. God, my Father, immerse me in your spirit. I fall to my knees and here I wait for you. Through all the wickedness I've sewn, through every tear I've bore. Through curses that I've leached and own, my failed desire's in you. With my early pages written in deception, it still lingers. Bitterness, my shroud that I take comfort in. Unsheathe me. I dream of the depths of the fiery lake, calling me down. But my spirit desires to give you glory. [2x] Unsheathe me. Through all the wickedness I've sewn, through every tear I've bore. [2x] Through curses that I've leached and own, my failed desire's in you. Hold me in your mercy. Pull me up from the fire below and hold me in your arms. Pull me close. Hold me in your mercy. Pull me up from the depths below and hold me in your arms. Pull me so close Pull me so close and never let me go. Never. [3x]
