I want to set a stage play out my weaknesses burning asphalt in my veins using you for my devices I'd like to carve you whole reek of your regret dig through to the deep below to places you can't forget treat you like no other play to your comfort present the limbs of a lover at a price you can't afford how did I decay to this wanting the hold to seize tasted malevolence on your breath I will drill into marrow some more act a fool on you I've never felt this way before parade like it's all new I call mercy I give in here I call mercy I plead i pray how did I become the lie intent on finding you cunning serpentine your new task I call mercy I give in here I call mercy I plead I pray

Ascension 05:03
in the silence I wash myself away wrung out colour from a hollow fray and I wonder how much I can break until I cannot reconciliate and I get up for you and I can carry on for you you're my tease you are you calm the disease tempt me and I just crave the light within you just let me ascend through to finally find harbour in the eye of a tainted dying man it's all life drawn by an adoring hand to take the hits and muster on again to let your lips lend pure persuasion and I get up for you and I can carry on for you you're my hold you are you're my revolt mend me and I just crave the light within you just let me ascend through to finally find harbour

Heed 04:46
if there is a god could you focus your gaze upon me if there is some deity could you spare me some humility help me understand please why am I not anyone else but me I reside in the crease tredding disgust perpetually heed me see me free me leave me if I could just ask you why even if you fake a meaning if a prayer had a warranty you'd always be returning I only plead this without the will to lift my face could you just seal the crease and relieve me of this bitter taste heed me see me free me leave me heed me see me free me leave me have you been resting have you been laughing has it all been on a screen twenty-four seven broadcasting have I been dreaming have I got it wrong have you been helping and I'm just too far gone

kneel to me end belief you're weight strapped to string riding storms without any heading call my bluff try resist your stains are my design a trick played onto your sick mind so you reach start to believe you see home away from grief you're a long way off treading air and drifting away it's done you're gone I already won it's a borrowed life that decayed in fervour and dream who's next what's left ready to digest the wasted walk through the fear the reaper of your own damn worth where you built your pit of hurt did I help was I there did I aid at all when you begged or did I simply made and forget so you reach start to cease you feel lost meager in means you're a long way off treading air and drifting away it's done you're gone I already won it's a borrowed life that decayed in fervour and dream whos next what's left ready to digest it's a borrowed life it's a borrowed life it's a borrowed life it's a borrowed life it's done you're gone I already won who's next what's left ready to digest

Mutation 05:28
reinvent me draw the outlines build the parts sow the limbs till it binds preach it to me what is faith credence and will how should I feel and behave give me function make it clear code me a box or it least a place to steer redefine me where I been I was nothing a clone that intervened take me under starting mutation now call me under tapping sensation find my story where I long again can see again far from devil's grin end design me a memory that's not prison nor a hole no fucking mirror villian take me under starting mutation now call me under tapping senstation

Digging In 04:26
help me bring the panic I need you more than ever to free this wreck we'll sever all survivors find what it takes to kill our brothers I remember when I was whole when I still thought of love when he turned my body cold I became the villian people spoke of I'm sorry I need to feast make you feel what I had felt like the day with fear teased and my love my love was killed here I'm digging in I'm digging in you're wonderful I'm digging in here is my new home I'm bringing you in I love you I'm digging in wrap those eyes around me I'm a prize of grand scale just focus on this travesty I'll tease your strings just follow me innocently let us plot the endings I remember when I was young when I had that smile of yours hands so awaken strung kind bodies fell to lovers you won't notice at first until it's too late my sweet I'm quenching the thirst leaving you naked and beat here I'm digging in I'm digging in you're perfect I'm digging in here is where I'll stay I'm bringing you in I love you I'm digging in

Feed 03:55
look at me and tell me what I'm worth trade me and take me out of earth you find it to your liking when everyone seems to be offering you find it to your taste when you vandalize to debase you don't need no-one to tell you that you're hardly of human value you don't need a single reminder that none of it even matters give me all of it every single bit of it I need it I need it I just know I need to feed any more of it ready to kill for it I need it I need it I'm about to fucking plead copy me fit me in a box sell me and divide me into junk you have to be a hunter when you're staring at the numbers you have to see compromise when it's certain to suit your size you don't mind the undertaking to be the one who is demanding you don't mind the flashing lights to be the one who walks the ailes give me all of it every single bit of it I need it I need it I just know I need to feed any more of it ready to kill for it I need it I need it I'm about to fucking plead
