Jagged Ones

The fear, it sets into their mind
They look upon what they have done
And soon enough they know they cannot hide
The wishing well, deep in their skulls
Is drunken dry, the days go by
Their alibi just slips between the cracks
And they feel so alone
And they feel so alone
And they feel so, feel so light
And they feel so alone
Now the ceiling has a caving point
I must discuss the danger it is rising and we all are locked below
So Low
And we breathe solo
And we feel so, feel so right
And we feel so, feel so right
Kneel so low
Heal so slow
Steal no show
Heel then toe
And they feel so alone
And they feel so alone
If it's real then it's so-so (x7)

Hey!
You say you’ll fold when, the odds are growin’ thin
Make it a frequent trend, will work out in the end
Ta-Da Ta-Da-Da
Ta-Da Ta-Da-Da
Ta-Da Ta-Da-Da
Ta-Da Ta-Da-
Daze (x4)
You say you’ve thought ahead, you’re just an easy mark
Made of a shroud of hope, surprised you got this far
Ta-Da Ta-Da-Da
Ta-Da Ta-Da-Da
Ta-Da Ta-Da-Da
Ta-Da Ta-Da-
Daze (x4)
It’s just perplexing that, you’ve gone and slipped on through
Life’s just an empty hat, and you're the trick that went askew
Ta-Da Ta-Da-Da
Ta-Da Ta-Da-Da
Ta-Da Ta-Da-Da
Ta-Da Ta-Da-Da
Ta-Da Ta-
Hey! Hey!

Body Fall

Rips all that's left of the bleeding heart, the satin cloth is stained amongst all that remains in tact
The fact-or in the text it is unfolding left to right, the sinking right to indite lies upon unyielding minds
You led me into a river
Closed my eyes so I could see clearer(x3)
You led me into a river
The drip stop started the notion of enduring hearts that flee and get thrown under the bus
And the smallest of inklings that toils upon the indecision, distractions of the mind
You let my body fall
You led me into a river
Closed my eyes so I could see clearer (x3)
Close my eyes
In my disguise (x3)
Close my eyes
Oh you disgust the normals and the elegants away,
In my, my present state of mind you must stay
lay awake (you must lay awake)
The form in, the form in which you lead has gone astray
indistinguishable, from the train wreck where you lay
Step up to that throne you sit upon, above it all
Oh you discuss the morals and the ethics in my, my discourse
This coarse abrasion scrapes the pain away
That leaves you, numb and in the corner of my brain
Deceives you, to hear you out of pity, out of shame
Must you look, rusty hook, the earth shook, and it all fades away

I’m coming out of, out of the shell, out of these boundaries that I held
Dear to my heart, right from the start, it was an illusionary part
Bridged to a whole, now I behold, what is beyond that in which I know
No I won’t go, I cannot throw, all this away, I mustn’t stray far
Far from my home, the skin I know, has made an impact upon my soul
Straight from the mold, I wasn’t told
How to extend my mind out and hope
Hope for the best, in all the mess
Me and my own will be at rest
Time of our lives, we took the time
Out of the-hands of the divine
Pass, time running out, running out fast, or just your perception of the past
Making the choice, you check your voice, reflect on the whole and move the mast
Looking out now, upon the ken, circling minds, aberrant men
Seeking the inside of the storm, feeling so free you must deform
I’m fading, I’m fading
Hold steady, hold steady (x4)
Make me real, I'm just breathing
See me feel, I'm just pleading
I’m not sealed, I keep bleeding
I’m not real, soulless
I’m fading, I’m fading
Hold steady, hold steady (x4)
I’m fading, I’m fading
Hold steady, hold steady (x4)

You're Agile

Incognito plays, the heart instead of pain
The multitude of eyes fixed closely on her prize
Inching into the sun
We've forged what we have won
On the salty shores
We're breaking into pores
You're agile, your waiting, you're baiting
You're drowning in the sea
You're agile, your waiting, you're baiting
Drowning in the sea
You're agile, your waiting, you're baiting
Drowning in the sea
You're agile, your waiting, you're baiting
You're drowning in the...
In aw, let eyes behold
The weight of all that’s told
Setting into the sun
The waves have brushed the run
You're agile, your waiting, you're baiting
You're drowning in the sea
You're agile, your waiting, baiting
You're drowning in the sea
You're agile, your waiting, you're baiting
Drowning in the sea
You're agile, your waiting, baiting
You're drowning in the...
You're agile, your waiting, you're baiting
You're drowning in the sea
You're agile, your waiting, baiting
You're drowning in the sea
You're agile, your waiting, baiting
Drowning in the sea
You're agile, waiting, baiting
Drowning in the sea
Agile, waiting, baiting, drowning in the sea
Agile, waiting, baiting, drowning in the sea

Haunted

The light, it is coming out, evolving into night
The light, it is suffering and crumbling in the night
The light, it is festering and manifesting sight
The night, is running towards the mystery of the light
The righteous being in the tower taking flight
The light, it is gripping onto lasting signs of life
The night is tearing and devouring the light
The light, it is holding it's indulgences in time
The night, is coming
I am
I am haunted
I am haunted
I am
I am haunted
I am
I am haunted
I am
I am
I am
I am

I am
I am
I am haunted yeah yeah yeah
I am
