I've chased them all away My heart is beating by the tick of the second With every breath I will get them back The world is waiting for me

One more night I’ll sing the usual scribe and give my time to the memories To the face of shame To the taste of fate that favored the demon A killer of dreams For a world that is full of defeat Speaking in tongues That is foreign to all Wearing a smile With a body of scars Spit me out of your mouth I’ve been down this lonely road before with you Spit me out of your mouth Through the hole in the dark and out the door with you The world is waiting for me I’m so sick of waiting I have grown sick of waiting But this curse keeps on giving Keeps on giving I gave you all that I had The best of a dreaded past As the years have turned to a land of sand I walked to the edge and I found nothing The journey lacked hope But a test of fate Speaking in tongues That is foreign to all Wearing a smile With a body of scars Spit me out of your mouth I’ve been down this lonely road before with you Spit me out of your mouth Through the hole in the dark and out the door with you The world is waiting for me I’m so fucking sick of waiting I have grown sick of waiting But this curse keeps on giving Keeps on giving Walked to the end and I found nothing I’ll plant you like a flower on my hill You can stay if you will You can watch me burn As I pretend To live out my best life But it never seems to work I roll over to feel your touch But it keeps fading away Fade away Spit me out of your mouth I’ve been down this lonely road before with you Spit me out of your mouth Through the hole in the dark and out the door with you The world is waiting for me I’m so fucking sick of waiting I have grown sick of waiting But this curse keeps on giving Keeps on giving

I will find you I will be the one I will be your Seasons in the sun Destiny has shifted the grounds This home is all that remains This tired soul rejects the shame Living Breathing Feeling nothing Give me air Bring me peace Wake me up now From this dream I ate the pain To taste the bliss I drank the poison For far too long But now I’m awake With hunger on my breath The need to taste your flesh Desire to smell your skin To feel your breath I will find you I will be the one I will be your Seasons in the sun And while we lay The rain can fall From the sky And wash all the sin away Wash all the sin away I will find you I will be the one I will be your Seasons in the sun

When you were a young one The source of all my ache and joy You were the sunlight She shining star of all my love When you started growing The problems started showing When you hurt Then I hurt And I hurt all the time And I’m growing older And I will always be your shoulder But it won’t always Won’t always be this way I want you to be okay I want you to be okay When you don’t see me And you don’t feel me anymore When you can’t see me Will you still be healing son? Reaching across through space and time I hope you will still hear me say Live on But I can’t see you in the darkness And I can’t feel you in this lightless walk I’ll turn my eyes from destruction And step away from the edge Step away from the edge When you don’t see me And you don’t feel me anymore When you can’t see me Will you still be healing son? Reaching across through space and time I hope you will still hear me say Live on I’ll plant myself in fertile ground Where you will know Where I will be found When you don’t see me And you don’t feel me anymore When you can’t see me Will you still be healing son? Reaching across through space and time I hope you will still hear me say Live on I hope you will hear me say Live on Live on

Last Stand 04:09
This disease has claimed my flesh and soul But the final chapter remains untold An empty house is all that remains Tainted walls holding the frames This tight grip deserves its strength I call out to the sky above I call to the sky above I scream to the ground below I scream to the ground below I have seen the ugly and the sick And rejoiced out loud in the face of it I stand here now upon the edge One final sin before the last stand The mirror reflects just what I am I look at it as it stares right back A cold night leaves me in such a gorgeous way As a smile As taken arms with this hate I have seen the ugly and the sick And rejoiced out loud in the face of it I stand here now upon the edge One final sin before the last stand At the last stand I call out to the sky above I call to the sky above I scream to the ground below I scream to the ground below I have seen the ugly and the sick And rejoiced out loud in the face of it I stand here now upon the edge One final sin before the last stand

Black Dogs 04:24
Maybe tonight will be the night And these ghosts will be awakened Black dogs with teeth and hell in their eyes Bite down on my neck and take me On and on and on And it goes on And they hold on And they won’t let me go And they will never ever let me get away Maybe today will be the day And I’ll finally hold the pain in Black clouds are threatening the sun Come down to me It’s raining On and on and on And it rains on It’s thundering on And it won’t let me go And it will never ever let me get away In sickness Madness in the night And I can’t seem to fight it This stillness Darkness in my sight I don’t know how to light it The rivers flow to every hole And I can’t help but feel it But I will find a way through love Burst through my heart Reveal it Love wraps me up and pulls me in It heals everything It knows everything Come now Embrace my spirit Come now Embrace my spirit I know the black will come again But I won’t let it be my end So I hold my heart Be still Be calm Live my life in the light until you come back Until you come back again I know you’ll come back again But this will never stop me In sickness Madness in the night And I can’t seem to fight it This stillness Darkness in my sight I don’t know how to light it The rivers flow to every hole And I can’t help but feel it But I will find a way through love Burst through my heart Reveal it
