1.	Birthed Onto Sour Ground 04:32	lyrics	buy track
A scant room Floor covered in glass Boards nailed where the door stood As well as the windows [Then we'll find another way] Try again some other day Barren of all light [Live to see another day] The wounds I've recieved now seem difficult to ignore Such suffering in solitude Weakened breathes Skin pressed tightly Constrictive Construction Neatly woven prison As I struggle I sink deeper in the abyss Welcome me in Welcome the end Savor these last moments I face the concequence Of this meaningless existence [A tight rope of my own flesh] We will find another way [When comfort comes oh so soon It's finally over and here's to letting go] This ground so sour like skin on flowers [You see you remind me so much of some place I've never been before Maybe once? Though no more My favorite place I've never been before]
2.	Human Bodies (Are) 04:14	lyrics	buy track
I know what I'm capable of I'm sorry it wasn't enough Never thought it would be this hard but it was It was With my heart upon my sleeve For all to see it bleed And these cuts They run deep They run deep We rest upon the edge of oblivion I assumed to steadfast So sublime as it lasted Every word that you said; faceted With that glaze in your stare And the sheen on your tongue This is where we've been snared Spun through lies that you've strung I'm digging deep to make things work It's just so hard to say the words [But what if we could restore to ensure What if we could restore to ensure] I assume that I spoke too soon but all I sought out was the truth Underneath all the deceit Some dreams are meant to remain as such Hopelessly some give chase Suffocating in the shame [Yet you abandoned me with blood upon my hands in quickly sinking sand But then you ran away with those things that you took] Though I shall find my place
3.	(To Be) Chemically Measured 03:24	lyrics	buy track
[I told a lie and it's changed every night Now I know that it isn't too simple] This place fills me with a sense of dread and I've seen no familiar face Has fate lead me here? My nails peel back as I scratch and claw at the walls of my mind Contemplating stents of time What all's left? What's been spent? Sifting through dim memories Should I press on depressed and infested with thoughts of seeing to my own death? I must accept I deserve this I shall remain nameless. [I don't know how but it changed my whole life Now I know that it isn't too easy] I've spoken with echos I fought the fortune in my palms To seek truth within lies To have faith in empty skies In this sea of grief it seems to me not everything is as we dream when we're deep in sleep We wake to find we've been deceived I'll find my way, stranger. [Oh I don't know how to belong here No I don't think I belong Who knows. I don't know how long I can keep the walking dead undaunted]
4.	Short Moments Of Hyper Surreality 03:59	lyrics	buy track
[He and all he's created And all of chaos we cause It's so sweet] Since the first man this Earth's kept them uncertain yet clung to this surface devout to their "purpose" Husks - just shells to be shed Manure and fodder served as fuel for fools whom come next Never forget nothing exists after this Mere men have forged the Gods; and with them Hell was born Mere men have forged the Gods; and with them followed war [Land of falsified words Dance so near the Sunrise and sunset Even though we...] We did this to ourselves. We did this to ourselves. [The rock of deceiver It calls out Oh it screams out A name so clearly A name so familiar] From all that I've seen all that I've felt or dreamed, percieved; Either I'm wrong or Lucifer won Lord, if you are there Please save us from this man made Hell Even if it means the end I swear we're better off dead
5.	Shorn Through The Lamb's Wool 03:29	lyrics	buy track
A father proclaimed Gave countless names and names so made; Still The greatest mistake ever made in a mere 7 days I feel so alone Though this kingdom stands so perfectly I know I should need for nothing more But why does this hate grow internally? I question What none have Answered in a betrayal Marooned and shunned, cast out Was I wrong? I think not I bear a new name [Betrothed to thee And bathed in red I call thee SERPENT Who's fruit was held in vain I want you to know That you can give in] I now have many names too Half the kingdom came to this realm I have made Were we so wrong?
