Hold Your Hexes
03:07
|
|||
Set your task, know what you work for
Dare you ask or 30 years more?
Raise your hands to hold up the ceiling
Charlatans don't know the meaning
Everyone that adds weight to your fears
Eats away your will to persevere
Accumulate the reasons why you're wrong
A disconnect I haven't felt in so long
Sinking in, your labour's fruitless
Your listless grin has left us toothless
I can't accord with courts you carry
When you curse my name

Unbidden and Untrue
03:34
|
|||
A plague is running through
The thread of common cause
You need to get out
The bloated words spat forth
Unbidden and untrue
You need to get out
Hands washed
You're living out your lies
And silence falls
But the legacy remains
And you're picking at the bones
Till your final curtain call
A shot across the bow
Found buried in the hull
You need to get out
Your errant eye seems shot
But doesn't flicker once
You need to get out
Hands washed
You're living out your lies
And silence falls
But the legacy remains
And you're picking at the bones
Till your final curtain call

Thought Diary
04:58
|
|||
If these languishing hands can take
A thought from cot to crypt
We can smother them while they sleep
We're not limited by the page
Looking at the lines we make
They can bare the weight of sunless days
But it all comes too late
It all comes too late
The ink will dry
But it all comes too late

Always Looking In
03:08
|
|||
Call it what it is: a broken oath
And then we try to hide
A lie untold
Watching from the stalls
The chorus reaches high
When we try to sing along
We cough and croak
And then we try to hide
A lie untold
Expelled from the circle
And always looking in
There's breath on the window
Another slight, another broken vow
Another lie untold, a lie untold
And when we try to hide
We cough and croak

False Shepherd
04:39
|
|||
Ever here, incumbent
Roll out the point and pin the purpose
Set these stalks to pierce the sky
No regrets
Just build a lie upon a lie upon a lie
Just build a lie upon a lie upon a lie
Set these stalks and pierce the sky
No bill to throw or questions why
Just a lie upon a lie upon a lie upon a lie

Deadpanning
02:57
|
|||
The lamp is low
Cower in the dark
Stow the fear in your throat
But don't swallow your pride
Trembling nerves
Dent the warning bell
Stow your fear
Or throw your cards away
And pick another game
So throw your cards away

Constrictor
03:21
|
|||
Dead weight
You're taking this the wrong way
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
A prayer that comes with great weight
Plague reigns
And suffocates the typeface
Constrictor
Shook hands, made its escape
Low light and lower life
Rue the day
Set sights on higher planes
Yet comb the ground
A page that brings the rain
A stage that breaks with age
This hand requires restraint
Grave pains
The artifice constructor
Give me time
This wave will pull me under
Plague reigns
And suffocates the typeface
Constrictor
Shook hands, made its escape
|

8. |
||||
You're listless and low by the night
One eye on the door, and an eye for an eye
Pray they never halt your hopes
Those abstract and burdening thoughts
Won't kick at the hate that rests in your heart
Pray they never halt your hopes
Ask yourself where you were
Upon a throne with a phone that never rings
Help yourself to my home
Drag me out, a beggar and a thief
Never halt your hopes
