Decay

The illusion that we're not the same
persists itself, we're all to blame
but we're united by sweet decay
creeping up, everyday
Time plays tricks without spite
Unknowingly, you just take what comes
Totality in the stream of age
We fight for thrones then lose them anyway
You keep crawling back to me
To an end you cannot see
You keep running down that dream
But it takes you no where


You

How can it be
I'm not what I seem
Half the man I was before
(Only half left)
No reasons that I should have closed that door
(But you did)
You know me
Feels like you own me
I left my home
Stranded on my own
You know me
Feels like you own me



Numbers

People live their lives
based off numbers
Numbers they don't even know
the real meaning of
I've tossed the dice
Tossed them to the wind
I'm not sure though which numbers
came from such a foolish thing
You live your lives
without any hesitation
You seem to be unaware of
any kind of complications
People live their lives
based off numbers
Numbers they don't even know
the real meaning of
People live their lives
based off numbers


Home

You've got your self-destructive ways
as you stare at the snow in a haze
because what's wrong in this whole world
can't be solved by leaving it
And you'd better not get it wrong
the question of where it is you belong
Because we all know the truth
and the answer is inside of you
Now I think we've heard all the lies
and your attempts at a casual disguise
But what about the rest of the world
Do they know of your love for death
You've got your self-destructive ways
as you stare at the snow in a haze
You've got only one shot at this
so why am I the one reminding you
I wish you could see through my eyes
between the veil of all your lies
We all want you back again
but for now we just can't take it

It's time to
It's time to come home again
So you better bring him home

Now I suppose the truth is too hard
and the locks on the gates are too far
if you even could make it there
would the key be able to save you
All the lies and truths in the world
are alive and begin to unfurl
And Death's a nasty friend
but one we'll all meet in the end

It's time to
It's time to come home again
It's time to
It's time to come home again
You better bring him home


Again

And it's true you can never forget
But is it true that you can't forgive
If I let you down
It's not because I try to
I'd gladly give into you
Again and again
But you've got
facades of compassion

Our lives are being held
by a hand that we've never felt
And you think you know, my friend
how all of this will end

Again and again and again
I try to get by
With the things I've got,
it's not too hard to try
But what else can you do
but take and take and take
When your well is well dried up,
it's simply just another life

Our lives are being held
by a hand that we've never felt
And you think you know, my friend
how all of this will end

Your subjectiveness eludes me
Brushburns of pine in the forest
A white whiff of snow's death
This adder that bites us with every step

Our lives are being held
by a hand that we've never felt
And you think you know, my friend
how all of this will end


Divided

We are divided by
the tithes that bind us
Clinging to a past
we just can't leave behind

I'm in pieces
Scattered
Dragged down
and battered
We're in shambles
and we can't hide it
It's one-sided
Divided

Everyone knows it
though no one will say it
Why can't we just show it
We're swimming in a false reality

I'm in pieces
Scattered
Dragged down
and battered
We're in shambles
and we can't hide it
It's one-sided
Divided

We could all go down and settle the score
but when no one wins, who will look like the fool


Down

I tripped
fell down again
Sometimes
you've got to stay down

I'm down
Again
And it never felt so right

Sidewalks
make fine beds
Sometimes
the dark can be so cold

I'm down
Again
And it never felt so right


Ontological

Everyone
They steer themselves wrong
And who is right
Who really knows the truth

People
who are you
when you judge them
like you do
The reflection looks back
The mirror sees what you can't
