Dig Your Own Grave

See what's right before your eyes
Just in time to say goodbye
You might catch it if you can
See the ghosts inside the man
Yeah
You can say it's a new day
You can pray it goes away
But it's right behind the lies
See them every day and night
Yeah
Buried deep within your soul
Precious things have lost control
See them creep into your dreams
Reality's not what it seems
No

Chekhov's Gun
04:24

Could it be so simple
Staring back at you
You sift through the wreckage
But you don’t see the clues
And when you get your mind right
Making sense of it all
That’s when they pull the trigger
And watch the curtain fall
When you’re looking down the barrel
of Chekhov's gun
That’s when you know the story,
that they’ve already won
When you’re looking down the barrel
of Chekhov's gun
When you’re looking down the barrel
When you’re looking down the barrel
When you’re looking down the barrel
of Chekhov's gun
We had a good run
At the top of the chain
Savoring the sweet life
Not accepting the blame
And now we see it's real face
All shiny and blue
Just a pull of the trigger
And the gunman is you
When you’re looking down the barrel
of Chekhov's gun
That’s when you know the story,
that they’ve already won
When you’re looking down the barrel
of Chekhov's gun
When you’re looking down the barrel
When you’re looking down the barrel
When you’re looking down the barrel
of Chekhov's gun

The Sky Below
04:35
|
|||
|
Your shining star is now a gaping black hole
Fall through the sickness to the sky below
Ten million suns will never burn so bright
As desperation forcing me to fight
I'm coming for you
Are you ready for me
The second coming is the last in line
Just drink the Kool-Aid till the end of time
You heard the stories yeah you know them well
Just one more fable for your kings to sell
I'm coming for you
Are you ready for me
When all seems right then that's the time to fear
The art of war is surely drawing near
Marching blindly takes us over the edge
Passive resistance is their only pledge
I'm coming for you
Are you ready for me

This World Has Failed
03:54
|
|||
|
High atop their mountain gazing down
Perched like some vultures , wearing crowns
Unblinking eyes never look away
Feeding off the remnants of social decay
All it takes is a bite
From the left or the right
Can you feel us sinking
And it moves through your brain
The stench will drive you insane
Get the hooks in deeper
Before you know your dead
The poison's already spread
There's no hope for a cure
For this masquerade
Opinions have been swayed
At the end of the rope and it's fraying
Oh can't you see what's going on
A fading glimpse and then its gone
Just like the virus turning black
Forced into being, under attack

Welcome to bedlam
Drowning in quicksand
You put up a good fight
Sacrificed your life
Run
Run
Run
You can’t stop it
It's entropic
Feel the eyes of zombie head upon you
See its eyes and there's nothing left you can do
Feel the eyes of zombie head upon you
Hear the cries, blood in its eyes
and there's nothing left you can do
Now you're turning
Your skin is burning
Hunger inside you
Bloodlust that blinds you
Run
Run
Run
You can’t stop it
It's entropic
Feel the eyes of zombie head upon you
See its eyes and there's nothing left you can do
Feel the eyes of zombie head upon you
Hear the cries, blood in its eyes
and there's nothing left you can do

Lord of Woe
03:47
|

|
I damned you, when I blessed you
I'd like to take this moment and thank you
I'm not your father, I'm not your brother
The paradigm has shifted, now I am your lover
You want to hate me, I can see it
But now that hate is love, you're happy to receive it
You chose to play the game, I did not make the rules
I'm just a pawn like you but happy to indulge the fools
Yeah I was once like you
Yeah make your dreams come true…
And you will know me…
The Lord of Woe
The secret show
I'm buried deep
Inside you
Your everything
Let chaos reign
Yeah I'm the one
Who blinds you
Am I a lunatic, you best believe it
Ordained by criminals, the likes you haven't seen yet
I go by many names, the list goes on and on
You may not know the words but you can always sing along
You try and look away but I am everywhere
My reach is infinite and without a care
I will break you , I will make you see
(Now get down on your knees)
Yeah I was once like you
Yeah make your dreams come true…
And you shall call me…
The Lord of Woe
The secret show
I'm buried deep
Inside you
Your everything
Let chaos reign
Yeah I'm the one
Who blinds you

Wonder Like Stevie

I'm like a shotgun with the shells in backwards
I wanna end you but I'd ruin my day
I'd like to hate you but I misspelled blameless
I aint a looker but that's ok
Bang bang better knock on wood cause
I'm not gonna be waiting around
I wanna love you but my heart's on empty
Keep searching but I'll never be found
I'm searching
I'm looking for you
Keep searching
Nothing else I can do
How I'd like to be a fly on your window
Or better yet a prickly thorn in your side
The irritation that you get when you feel me
Around the corner where there's nothing to hide
I'm searching
I'm looking for you
Keep searching
Nothing else I can do
You misinterpret every signal I'm sending
I guess I shouldn't be that surprised
Takes a miracle to get you to listen
And even then you just roll your eyes

Worthless
03:46
|

Everything I touch
Everything I touch, just falls apart
And I keep getting blamed from the very start
All I really need
All I really need, is someone who cares
Looking all around, but you’re not there
Do I have the right
Do I have the right, I don’t know
But I’ll make damn sure the world burns before I go
Doctor, Doctor am I ok
is there something I can say
I don’t want to be worthless anymore
But I can't fight it that’s for sure
I just want to lay down and die
Throw my hands up and curse the sky
I wish you didn’t know me like this
But these urges still persist
Taking me to that place
Revealing memories I can't face
Here it comes again
Here it comes again, right on time
The devil made me do it my only line
Whatcha you think of me
Whatcha think of me, as you turn away
I get the same reaction each and every day
Doctor, Doctor I'm not well
All these meds send me straight to hell
I don’t want to be worthless anymore
But I can't fight it that’s for sure
I just want to lay down and die
Throw my hands up and curse the sky
I wish you didn’t know me like this
But these urges still persist
Taking me to that place
Revealing memories I can't face
Doctor, Doctor am I ok
is there something I can say
Doctor, Doctor I'm feeling fine
Just one more thing if you got the time
I don’t want to be worthless anymore
But I can't fight it that’s for sure
I just want to lay down and die
Throw my hands up and curse the sky
I wish you didn’t know me like this
But these urges I resist
Taking me to that place
Revealing memories I can't face
