Rust 04:04
Everything I know... Means to exist? Or to an end? Forcing me back Promise me you won't leave me like this I know you can't promise me that Oh, everybody knows somebody, knows somebody, knows somebody Wears you like a coat Tatters and fray The pattern would be all the rage Collar at your throat, nice and easy The strangle should strengthen with age Feel your bones break Aching and crying... Aching and crying... All the while knowing... That you can't help but feel so alone What a harrowing cycle And you can't wait to kneel and atone For the rust on your bible Oh, everybody knows somebody, knows somebody, knows somebody Promise me you won't leave me this way Oh, it isn't your promise to make Somebody show me how to cope Make this easy Not anymore....ever awake Feel your earth shake Aching and crying... Aching and crying... All the while knowing... That you can't help but feel so alone What a harrowing cycle And you can't wait to kneel and atone For the rust on your bible Oh, everybody knows somebody, knows somebody, knows somebody

Molasses 03:37
Through the window of your room Belize and Nepal Postcards lined up on the wall Postcards lined up on the wall Patient, waiting for the snow Like leaves in the Fall We're just rotting on the lawn We're just rotting on the lawn Oh, and it looks like it's raining cocaine again Molasses is passed around the room And the books that we've read would suggest the worst But when have we listened to them? Curious creaking from the floor A breeze through the dark Children hiding down the hall Children hiding down the hall Some will come and some will go Like flames in a jar Dare we light another one? Dare we light another one? Oh, and it looks like it's raining cocaine again Molasses is passed around the room And the books that we've read would suggest the worst But when have we listened to them? Burning bridges for the flames They're heating our homes Barefoot, walking on the coals Barefoot, walking on the coals Move into a single room Like peas in a pod Can't survive out on our own Can't survive out on our own Oh, and it looks like it's raining cocaine again Molasses is passed around the room And the books that we've read would suggest the worst But when have we listened to them?

Empathy 03:22
oh no blighters plague arrests me from a dream it was all true oh no forcing me to higher ground upstream but they come through leaving their mark revel the dark exuberant display carried away oh no on the cadge, polluting everything you so shrewd oh no flared resent; the silence of the spring you so elude walking about down but not out there's food and there's a bed we're paying your rent I awoke moments later in a black and blue room complimented nicely by a ripening bruise oh no castaways abandoned at our feet in a commune oh no cull their wretched yearning for the heat with a loud boom walking about down but not out there's food and there's a bed we're paying your rent I awoke moments later in a black and blue room complimented nicely by a ripening bruise

Fueled by side eyed glances Closing open doors Staving off advances And when it rains it pours You, the sky, imperil Lay and know your worth Too, the highest herald Will crash and rain to earth Walk a mile Draw the line Walk a mile Racing the final fire Drawn to a lightning rod Making you mine, all mine Pleasantly shocked and awed Fate dissolving faster Pale distended heart Fending off disaster To rive the rains apart Walk a mile Draw the line Walk a mile Racing the final fire Drawn to a lightning rod Making you mine, all mine Pleasantly shocked and awed

Another Host 05:27
Another frost has descended Why does it wait 'til we're all gone? A sinless plot to feed upon Another host, another ghost to make And when the sun has arisen Burnt, irrevocable torture Pray her rays provide the cure Repair, reverse… repair the curse, too late Oh, have we got a fighting chance at all? No weathered storm, no surrender Waving white flag is a no go You'll realize then you never know What fragile form can bear enormous weight Oh, have we got a fighting chance at all? Haste is a buzzard horde circling around your head Pacing about the ward, waiting for your soul Demons on patrol, oh no Now gaze to the great beyond beckoning you from your bed Daze, we are thrust upon what we fear the most Giving up the ghost, oh God no Another frost has descended Why does it wait 'til we're all gone? A sinless plot to feed upon Another host, another ghost to make Oh, have we got a fighting chance at all? Haste is a buzzard horde circling around your head Pacing about the ward, waiting for your soul Demons on patrol, oh no Now gaze to the great beyond beckoning you from your bed Daze, we are thrust upon what we fear the most Giving up the ghost, oh God no
