lyrics

1. Root
We all gave away our measures, our efforts, our everything! We just don’t want
to die alone. To hell with destiny!
It leaves a sick taste! Such a crippling pain! My measure, my efforts, my
everything!
Rage! Burning! Feeling! Boiling!
One day I might fall and all of you will shake and tremble at my step!
And now a lot of people wonder why I have to keep it covered. It’s just most of
you aren’t even really faces, but just numbers. I’m not welcome here! Oh, but I
would smell your fear! And I know that I am wrong in this! It’s such an apathetic
bliss. It’s just a byproduct of a murderous and lonely kick!
I hear your voices beating at the door of my brain! I hear every accusation and
every shame! From all those times that all of you rejected my pain, I can feel the
sting as you all spit out my name! I hear you spit out my name! I feel you spit out
my name!
We all gave away our measures, our efforts, our everything! We just don’t want
to die alone. To hell with destiny!
I remember all those things you said to me as though I weren’t a human too! I’d
cry myself to sleep at night as I tried to be who you wanted me to. I very nearly
became the very monster who would unmake you! I would have bled you dry!
All I wanna do...All I wanna do is RIP and TEAR! All I wanna do is RIP and TEAR! All
I wanna do is...

2. Vicious
You saved me! You saved me! You saved me! You saved me! Now that I’m here
spilling blood on the ground, will You still take me? Still take me?
There is no justice! There is no mercy! I hate the feeling of this rage that’s within
me! It infects everything that it touches! The world corrupts every soul in its
clutches!
I could’ve been much more!
I have strayed so far from everything You wanted for me! I’ve let this
place...these people...break me open and spoil my insides! It’s come for me; My
mind is withering. I’m so empty; I think I need to sleep. I’m cracking from my
heart as it beats its way down to black in hell!
My sanity is fleeing me!
A child plays at being a man. You never know what you can do until you can’t.
I’ve seen it all before. It’s coming back, even stronger to its core. I swear it hasn’t
been so long! When we fall, it’ll be right through the floor.
I am but a shell of a man, a shell of a man! A shell of a man, a shell of a man! You
crack me open and you throw it all out, but you find there’s nothing left but
dishonesty. A shell of a man, a shell of a man! A shell of a man, a shell of a man!
Only a fool could idolize madness!
There’s so much pressure! It’s caving in! I can’t hear my thoughts in the din. The
sound discordant! It reeks of death! Or is that just the stench of my own sweat?
It seems so distant, but is it pure? Is this the release that I’ve been waiting so
long for?
Can you hear them calling out our sins? Begging for us to reach down and climb
in...I can feel their passage like a foul wind. Have you tread the way of
consternation? Everything that I’ve done, I’ve always fucked it up! Is it so much
to ask that I die young?
A child plays at being a man. You never know what you can do until you can’t.
I’ve seen it all before. It’s coming back, even stronger to its core. I swear it hasn’t
been so long! When we fall, it’ll be right through the floor.
I’m left with nothing, and I’m scared that you’ll see just what this world has
made of me!
Am I undone? I’ve ruined the path laid before me! Please God, no! another
chance! I flee the day, and welcome the night like an old friend!

3. Whiteout
Have mercy! Take me now! Save me the trouble. End this! End this, just end it!
Why would I try? How could I try? It means nothing in the end for me: I’m
forgotten, or I’m discarded. It matters little now.
A more dramatic span is all my eyes see! It couldn’t be...but then again, maybe
I'm onto something! It never goes anywhere! They feign acceptance, but I know
that cold care!
We’re bursting from the seams of our dreams! That’s why you hear us shouting!
You never listened all along. You never did see our blood fountain. We’re
bursting from the seams of our dreams! That’s why you hear us shouting! You
never listened all along. You never did see our blood fountain.
Do you love yourself? Do you love this world?
When the cold comes creeping in, and when the devil’s at your door, know that I
am there whispering for you to stay and embrace love no more! So bring the
furies! Bring the storm! Bring the winds of stone beating down your door! Freeze
the blood in your veins and go through life feeling nothing but shame! No one
cares! No one’s by your side! We’re all alone in this world of murder and ice, so
die alone with your bed cold!
Apathy and agony have never been paired so well as this. It’s only in the end that
I see it fits. I understand it now for what it is. It’s been in my head. It’s always in
my head! I can’t find the M.O., so tell me is there no way out?
You never were...you never were...I swear...
We’re bursting from the seams of our dreams! That’s why you hear us shouting!
You never listened all along. You never did see our blood fountain.
Bring the pain! Then, bring it all again! I can’t take it all away, but I can soak it in
and make my walls so thin that surely I must break! So just come and see this
repository of all your enmity! My cup runneth over!
I hate myself! I hate this world!

4. Code
We all bear burdens, so tell me you know what it’s like to search for something
that’s hard to find. I smell the rain coming in good time.
And it slithers underneath my skin: the pain of losing everything I’ve been.
And I’m suffering from thoughts of you and a ghost that’s me! And I can’t bleed
it out! Your memory creeps. Your image still remains my sound.
I’m looking at the world through a different set of eyes. They aren’t the kind to
tell a lie. It must be a thing of ruin! Being eroded by the wind...that’s how
mountains become thin! And when it hits my skin...I know it must be that I...
And I’m suffering from thoughts of you and a ghost that’s me! And I...And I can’t
bleed it out! Your memory creeps. Your image still remains my sound.
If I could come with you, would that mean that we could change the story? I’ve
had enough! Bad enough I must endure darts with which they’ve pierced me!
Every step streaks the floor; the blood pours that much more when
you’re...when you’re not near me! And I...
And I’m suffering from thoughts of you and a ghost...that’s...me!
