Compassion is in fashion
Defending what’s taken center stage
Is all the rage
and all in vain..
We’re all saints with slit wrists
Thinking a single kiss is the cure
For a world destined to burn
Let death caress my neck
Praise the idol and seal your fate
Reciprocate all your hate
I’m a product of your fickle nature
A threat to society for the way you lied to me
All my heroes are dead
Yet they haunt me
It’s not in your head
Believe Me, Believe Me
Open up your eyes to tear them out
I won’t rest until i watch you bleed
Until you fucking bleed

Visions of a bitter spring still echo through my mind
As I play the drowning game with my valentine
Fresh cut lips and boney finger tips led me inside
To become one with a myriad of star crossed lovers lies
They arose singing hymns of autumn's past
An exchange of vows that surely could never last
“Forever”
The walls exude her essence as I exhume remembrance (remembrance) of blue eyes and blood stained hands
This is agony personified
A corpse takes off her skin right before my eyes
With a shudder I pull my heart out to prove that she's alive
From the shallow chasm in my chest I bring the dead to life
Sometimes at night I swear I can hear her scream..ing
Embraced in the wake of asylum's past
Each kiss seemed to hiss more than the last
In its wake love was left aghast
The walls exude her essence as I exhume remembrance (remembrance) of blue eyes and blood stained hands
This is agony personified
Is it still a lie if we meant it at the time
Is it still a lie if we thought we meant it
She’s just a voice inside my head
I don’t miss the white lies and anti depressants
We’ve tucked our needles away
Our scars still bleed when it rains
We’ve gone our separate ways
Those were my darkest days

A deadly scheme spawned by distorted dreams
My sanity began to fracture at the seams
I should have known by the writing on the ceiling
From tales of knives and no hope of healing
I can see her window
Am I still dreaming
Will this nightmare ever end?
I’ve got a score to settle
I’ve wasted all this time
I’m taking back what she always said was mine
Mine Mine
Mine Mine
Her pale skin, she let me in, to commit a new kind of sin
Her black hair, the way she lied, tore at my insides
Her blue eyes, the way she tried to corrupt what I gave life
My raison d'etre took a detour through damnation
From the depths of hell I screamed “Heaven Save Us”
Never get close
Each step closer is one closer to death
Never get close
Pray our lips don’t touch
Am I still dreaming
Will this nightmare ever end?
I’ve got a score to settle
I’ve wasted all this time
I’m taking back what she always said was
Mine Mine
Mine Mine
Mine Mine
I knew that only through her end could I live again
I knew that only through her end could I live again
She awoke to the sound of shattered glass
A fitting end to her black mass
Can you guess which me you’re talking to?
23 stab wounds from ‘us’ to you
So I ripped open your withered white chest
With joy I tore out what was left of your bullshit black heart
Watched it disappear in the palm of my hand
And set our past ablaze
So I ripped open your withered white chest
With joy I tore out what was left of your bullshit black heart
Watched it disappear in the palm of my hand
And set our past ablaze
As the wood turned to cinders the fire engulfed the beast that was her
I can breathe again

Vendetta

Candles aflame, nothing’ll be the same
Victims of the light unite
On black wings we’ll take flight
Creatures of the night
We’re dead and we’re right
Bless the binds that break you (whoao)
Curse the hand that frees you
Whoa a o a o
Who o o o
Whoa o a o (Sic Semper Tyrannis)
We are legion
The pure disease
We the nameless
The thorn unseen
Whoa o o Whoa o o o o
Whoa o o Whoa o o o o
With torches lit and pitchforks in hand
While they scour the land
We shout to hell with man
Bless the binds that break you (whoao)
Curse the hand that frees you
Whoa a o a o
Who o o o
The moon is burning bright
Everything ends tonight
Whoa a o a o
Who o o o
You’re to blame
We are legion
The pure disease
We the nameless
The thorn unseen
Slit my wrists
Tear off my skin
Bleed me dry
My ghost lives on
Hunt us down
Hang us high
What lives inside can never die
We are legion
The pure disease
We the nameless
The thorn unseen
We are legion
The pure disease
We the nameless
The thorn unseen
We are legion
The pure disease (The pure disease)
We the nameless
The thorn unseen
Whoa o o Whoa o o o o
Whoa o o Whoa o o o o
Hold on
Cry out
Retaliate
Hold on
Cry out
Retaliate
Your truth is our lie
Everything you love has died in our eyes

Bullets For My Beloved
05:20
|

Watch atlas crumble beneath the weight of so called circumstances
Words from a two pronged tongue tear through my lungs
I inhale bullets for my beloved
Agonize apologize nothing will materialize
Patronize sympathize clipped wings can never rise
Reverse this curse and tell me is this the kind of ending you'd want to rehearse?
If you didn’t need me you could’ve fucking told me
Could you stomach the sight of me?
Imagine my surprise when I did see
Someone out of place in place of me
Can’t you see the hypocrisy?
It contradicts everything you claim to believe
Tears fell, a momentary break in character
No sympathy, a complete role reversal
I once was captivated now I curse your name
Reverse this curse and tell me is this the kind of ending you'd want to rehearse?
I've drowned you in ink just to fall
I break my own neck with every breath I take
I stab myself just to keep these knives out of your back
As I sat in the back of the hearse
It had to be the work of her curse
“If I had held on I wouldn’t be here”
Those words weren’t so sincere
Trace out the heart and hope you die
I’d apologize but this is life through my
eyes
I held my tongue
I could not resist a broken olive branch for christmas
He's too young to bite the bullet, so you soften the blow with scars
He's too young to bite the bullet, so you block the shot with bullshit
I didn’t want a day in the life
I wanted a lifetime
My reflection lacks the depths of your deception
I've drowned you in ink just to fall asleep
It’s beyond the sacrilege you (preach)
I’ve drowned you in ink just to fall asleep
It’s beyond the words you sing
It’s the things I can’t unsee
