Appendix 03:03
We can settle all ties Increase disruption necessary For friends all need sacrifice or spare my life from endless violence Crucify or get off the cross Save yourself and walk away 'cause I have a way with me Get away from me Get away from me Big man I beg you please... Welcome to the war that is my head It serves you right It was brought upon me I base and build my walls out of fact so I have a house to sit down I believe what I believe in Love was walked away from Come on end this fools game of endless empty promises Voice your innocence as the cure Pass the blame and spill empty Promises I have faith and virtue I don't want to hurt you but I can get inside of you and kill you.

I can't believe all the damage is done The first one was fun but now I'm growing older I've been locked in the sound of your beating heart getting a sense that this is falling apart Down on my knees holding my head wanting to change all the things you said all the things you said I'm so full of lies I need to tell myself Just to wake up because I buried my health Open my eyes in pain to see In pain I've become to escape what is me I've wasted away trying to hide a place in my head you couldn't find Can't believe all the damage is done The first one was fun but now I'm growing older I've been locked in the sound of your beating heart getting a sense that this is falling apart Down on my knees holding my head wanting to change all the things you said all the things you said This time... Is the last time you'll break This time... Is the last time you'll stay I can't unless stay I've learned from your wisdom your last mistake Every time I've stayed away it breaks you and blinds you You'll find your place This Is the last time.

What is this holy crow across the sky? Bury it down like a landslide toe to toe Fight the fight I am a liar I want your soul and bury it down to the depths of the bottom I need control to feed on lust and the birth of your sorrow In an abandoned sea Shed your skin and the veil of your vanity I bite my tongue 'cause blood in my mouth is like a bomb underground What am I now? I found myself lost in simplicity I washed ashore The tide has changed and now I'm alone Cry's in sleep holding close to the beating heart of my enemy You washed ashore The tide has changed and now you're alone Cry's in sleep holding close to the beating heart of my enemy

Who will save you and never let you down? Close your eyes let the night stay Let me hold you near Poison in your ear Drowning out the sound I know that you're loved and I need you around Like falling fault lines the truth revealed Come closer Crowning another emotion today makes my heart strain But it's true you are my favorite It's true you are my favorite you... Our edges near Like a ghost in the mirror Fading and buried here in the seas of boredom (I'm lost without you) Like rubble crumbling down beneath my weathered fear (I'm lost without you) Days fall like fault lines but I've grown calm I'm terrified of losing I'm choosing love Come closer Swallowing arms holding tight I won't let go at all tonight Hold your breath and know I'm holding tight I won't let go of you tonight

Molting Skin 04:49
I must redefine my own place to hide I'm honing my way My way survive With what you've left of me My new sense of ability You can see with such clarity My inabilities I'm guilty of... Always! Like withering skin and living inside as you took me in I will lie if you let me sleep Feeling so hollow Breathing as long as you'll hurt To do as I do I will strike you with venom as long as my rattle shakes hold this against you as long as this battle takes. Alive inside you as you are with my mistakes Molting and stretching, and living as love dictates I'll embrace you and smother it's my way to mother You . or make you and feed you is my way to father too. My skin is shedding, and itching, and beautiful I 'm peeling and stretching and growing until I am full Drying and folding if molting is growing. going to This animal shakes while You're loving fades and my hunger pangs are starving me and you will see as I use this ability Factor in this gravity and there's bound to be the rest of the way You'll see Like Withering skin and living inside as you took me in I will lie if you let me sleep Your jaws are stretching, feeding and willing teething and Sinking and bleeding as I feed you. My renewed sense of responsibility I'm redefining my own place to hide here. I'm honing my only way to survive, with what you have left of me. my own sense of ability I thrive on debilitating insincerity You can see with such clarity my own inability of which I am guilty If only I was once what you took from me

I'm gonna turn this one around and make something out of nothing I'm gonna ask you a question and I deserve your attention Because I've tried so hard put so much aside to one day turn around and find that you hide Indiscretion's abound and your fear of regret is killing you. But when all is calm and no reason to be scared you find yourself alone because all along you cared for the ones you chose and the ones who chose you are simply at your side asking to be kind. When winter has escaped by the fleeting falling snow your fighting to remember what you have on your own. So listen when I tell you that warmth is all around and when nothing worth replacing has fallen to the ground. Take this Rose (you gave me) All this love is turning black There's nothing worse than fading away I can't forgive and now it's your pain I reach out my hand Something to hold From weeping eyes to weather the storm (Take this Rose ) There's nothing worse than fading away I can't forgive and now it's your pain Keep shedding your light To show me the way Keep pressing on suffice it to say. There's nothing worse than fading away I can't forgive and now it's your pain. I'm gonna turn this one around and make something out of nothing I'm gonna ask you again one question to a friend I need to know the answer from beginning to the end With nothing left to say nothing but goodbye was everything worth losing no matter how we tried to keep it all together or kill it on the vine Adding up to nothing or dividing up our time Love is what I lost here and nothing's what you'll find Take this Rose (you gave me) All this love turning black There's nothing worse than fading away I can't forgive and now it's your pain I reach out my hand Something to hold From weeping eyes to weather the storm (Take this Rose ) There's nothing worse than fading away I can't forgive and now it's your pain Keep shedding your light To show me the way Keep pressing on suffice it to say. There's nothing worse than fading away I can't forgive and now it's your pain.

Kingdom Come 04:12
I Found Myself But I don't care There's no Love and no one is Here Behind You eyes, Endure the Pain No one's safe You can't escape, So Don't come inside here Kingdom Come thy will be done I am the one I Gave myself Take From Me Taking your vow you part Kingdom come thy will be done I am your lion Patiently I'm haunting your head And Haunting your Heart I'm Slipping away again If I could only reach your hand Another day in descent I wish I could make a mends with you It's filling my head again If only I could make this end If I had an ear to bend I wish I could make amends with you You've come to carry me home Darkness fades to lonely The shards are tender I might but don't make me The sound of your whispering is surrounding flood my senses I'm drowning in the wake of your precious presence Your fortresses essence The weight of your lessons You breathe and scatter me in the turmoil of your wind You win and I never can You've come to carry me home

Rootstock 02:42
Holy Christ you're a pretty mess My pretty little lamb be calm and listen to yourself Never mind what you need to hear listen to sound of the ringing in your ear I know that your sick of it I know what your going to do with it I know When your lying I know what your trying to do here With your little sympathetic mind now What do you do with the hate Taking over Peeling more than skin breaking open Taking more than you give Love stings so enough already holding nothing but emotions through the day Signed Sealed and delivering hope I hope you pay. The strengths I'm not surprised I'm living with the nerves to see I know what your thinking I already know what you'll say And yes it's true You always make it about you
