Hotel Tango 05:13
I must be made out of stone Absolute in the right light I must be made out of stone But don't be fooled by first sight Trauma lives in my body It wears a crown The tax became so godly It weighs me down Pressure continues to build Cracks form with no promise of sound. What I covet will get me killed More than anything else I have found. Yet I am still steadfast while masses move around me Enamored by the noise we make as it comes in waves and fluctuates The tail in the mouth of a snake Trauma lives in my body It wears a crown The tax remains so godly It weighs me down Pressure continues to build Cracks grow with no promise of sound What I covet will get me killed I've drawn no line nor a bound Was I built to self-destruct Or will I be the one to fuck this up Oh god, it must be lonely To know and know alone Yet I am still steadfast while masses move around me Enamored by the noise we make as it comes in waves and fluctuates The tail in the mouth of a snake Can't take it back Regret is worth nothing in the end I am just back where I began Pick right back up Dying is a work in progress Even in failure I can't settle for less Yeah, I am still steadfast while masses move around me Enamored by the noise we make as it comes in waves and fluctuates The tail in the mouth of a snake I must be made out of stone I must be made out of stone

Post Blood 03:17
Loud and clear damage I'm more like the spit Than the image of an optimist With too much stress to adjust But an endless need That is telling me to feed Give yourself another chance to bleed Despite the cracks My glass is half full And it's full of blood I'll take what I can get Cause I give more than enough No pain no gain Is just another myth that's said You can forget that shit I just want to get ahead Always in between The sweet life or cavities From gnawing at my sense And trying to savor it I've got to find Another way to take the hit Despite the cracks My glass is half full And it's full of blood I'll take what I can get Cause I give more than enough No pain no gain Is just another myth that's said You can forget that shit I just want to get ahead But the secret is getting started To get in front of it all Don't hold back don't give up Even if you have to crawl Bring it back Despite the cracks My glass is half full And it's full of blood I'll take what I can get Cause I give more than enough No pain no gain Is just another myth that's said You can forget that shit I just want to get ahead

I hear you talk, yeah do your thing But are you truly saying anything I can't spare more time So look alive I could toss you out in ten Forget you in the next five It's not my listening season Unless you give me a reason It's not my listening season And If it has no heart then let me be What are you really about Any attention is starting to fade out But my reception is crystal clear Starved for connection It all floats down here It's not my listening season Unless you give me a reason It's not my listening season And If it has no heart then let me be The deeper you go past what is hollow The deeper you go Fewer will follow The deeper you go The deeper you go The deeper you go

Unburied 03:20
Who the fuck do you think you are Who the fuck do you think I am Tell me every move to make Let's see how much my stomach can take Line me up with the others on the fence Feed me from the trough with dregs of influence We are so full of shit, devotees of rhetoric Thin us out with the mass of social filters Keep the few from twisting the scripture Paint yourself another pretty picture On the white flag hung over our mirrors Who the fuck do you think you are Who the fuck do you think I am With all eyes on, make it seem real Some will conform to you with zeal Be careful how you handle the ones who kneel Fake, fake, fake it to be adored You're so fake so just change form With no pride left, the most dangerous lies will keep you in over your head You can lead a horse to water but can you save it if it drowns It gets harder to breathe for those that feel condemned It gets harder to breathe as they descend And I hope you're choking just like them

What makes you think You know what's best for me What is best for all of us You seem to have a clear view Of what is wrong Despite a narrow perspective The truth can be such a cruel thing To find out just how small you are When it hits You'll find you're misled And I hope that it Fixes your head Where is the grace That you speak so much of Its saved for one side of the coin Even though the other side Is of the same Both worn and covered with rust The truth can be such a cruel thing To find out just how small you are When it hits You'll find you're misled And I hope that it Fixes your head Like Matty said I'd love it if we made it But I don't know how much further You can make it Until you take in the beat Of another's heart As if it found its way Into your chest You are running out of time The truth can be Such a cruel thing To find out just how small you are When it hits You'll find you're misled And I hope that it Fixes your head Or we will leave you behind

Bluesummers 02:28
Born with a just freedom We hold on to how we live Torn, we will make a choice to tarnish our convictions For there is no clean slate at all This is a sick, sad world and we are it's blues Our scars lie in different vivid hues It's a simple formula The greater the tragedy, the greater the effect We're the key ingredient And the blame will stain red the palm of our own hands Thin it out over time but It will not come off We all carry that same burden This is a sick, sad world and we are it's blues Our scars lie in different vivid hues

I have seen the world and what it can do And tried to remain the same Thus it grew Cause I needed a rose So it brought you to me Cause I needed a rose So it brought you to me It is sort of cruel We are always someone's fool But in the end It's just realizing the obvious again I have seen the world and what it can do And tried to remain the same Thus it grew Cause I needed a rose So it brought you to me Cause I needed a rose So it brought you to me The closer we get The more that it hurts But to be alone can be so much worse One more final I need you I have seen the world and what it can do And tried to remain the same Thus it grew Cause I needed a rose So it brought you to me Cause I needed a rose So it brought you to me
