Sun Eater

You feel the suffering at the hands of all these crippling things
Swimming in the fire, will illuminate the night
Internalize our prophecies, forgetting all our wants and needs
The consequence of this, tearing us away from life
Feeding
Eternal sun eater
Feeding
Eternal suneater
Feeding
Eternal suneater
A way of life
Digging through the sands
Falling hard on both your hands
Grasping at the moving earth
That buried you alive
Each day stealing away
Hiding from the slow decay
Tearing from the only thing
That brings us back to life
We try...to
Defy the night
We choose life
Swimming into the fire ( x5)
Its better to burn ourselves, although we’d rather give into the feeding
Feeding
Eternal sun eater
Feeding a way of live
You live the lie
You bleed inside
Eating all the lotus flowers you found in gardens past
Escaping from the suffering thats clouding up your head
You fall down below, deep within the undertow
Mistakes have been made before
And you will never know
Feeding
Eternal sun eater
Feeding
Eternal sun eater
A way of life
We try (we try)
To
Defy( defy)
The night (the night)
We choose life
Swimming into the fire(x6)

And when i scream again i know you feel it
The whipping boy who finally caught the whip
I’ll tear away all of your lue glass ceilings
Don’t lie to me
Don’t lie to me
I’ve been searching inside and fighting a way through the agony
Know now that the failure wasn’t mine
You’re serpentine
In the shadows
Colossal lies filling the hollows
All your promises you set aside
Feed the cancer in and promise life
Preaching heaven from the brimstone
We walk alone, we walk alone
The writings on the wall, i know you see it
We’re cherry red, the faith is fucked away
Fucked away!
All your promises you set aside
Feed the cancer in and promise life
Preaching fire from the brimstone
We walk alone
Left on our own…
How can you honestly stand there
In the wake of all the aftermath
How could you honestly care?
How can you stay? (x4)
Hear me!
Hear me!
Now!
Creator!
You take and take
We give and break
When will you speak and answer?
I’ve been searching inside and fighting a way through the agony
Know now that the failure wasn’t mine
You’re serpentine
In the shadows
Colossal lies filling the hollows
All your promises you set aside
Feed the cancer in and promise life
Accept the preacher on the brimstone
We walk alone, we walk alone
All your promises they feel like knives
Diving in the back of those that tried

I choke on my tongue
And I'm gone
You stay like a scar
I felt you
Before
The stories I heard
They end, in the blood
And it’s ok
But I'm not sure
I’m ready
To see the red
Up here on the precipice
A great divide
The fall of a lifetime
The words they fall like ash
From a jeweled mouth
Half sunken
Half forgotten
It’s all the same to me
To be a leper on a pulpit
I wish you’d spit just once
And taste your opium
I wish to bleed the lung
Speak, say what’s on your mind
Rip away the ivory
Expose the bone
The heroin
Crush
A pill for your sanity
Trust the soul, not the suffering
You’re dying to feel alive
Floating weightless deaf and blind
Would it kill you to kill your pride
You’re dying to feel alive
Dying to feel alive
The words they fall like ash
From a jeweled mouth
Half sunken
Half forgotten
It’s all the same to me
To be a leper on a pulpit

Purging

Purge!
The seeds you've sewn
Shifting and pulsing in violent swings
White knuckled tension it grows
Marigolds
Nurturing all the unspoken desires that you left to rot
Know your maker!
That binds the soul
Can you see deeper?
And know the truth!
On your knees
You pray for death to bring you home
Nurturing a garden
Of all your wishes
Your decision
Burying what makes you hole
Black the sun with muted tongues
Have you wondered why you
Grow marigolds?
Coursing through your veins
You feel the twist of snakes
Internal coiling
See!
And know your maker
That binds the soul
Can you see deeper?
And know the truth
On your knees
You pray for death
To bring you home
Transcend!
Rip the roots from the soil
Rip the roots from the Soil!
Let it out
Rise above
Let yourself
Release!
Terrified
You see the skies open wide
And the blooming cries
Reach for light, reach for life
This pain will not subside
You must kill or give life
This pain will not subside
You must kill or give life!

Bleeding the answer
You can’t tell me what i know (what i know)
Waiving the hands of help that they offer
But i know (what i know)
Sick but i never try and get better
Because i know, what i know
Eating the fruit of my force fed cancer
I know, what i know!
You isolate
The one you hate
To satiate
What i know
But i..
Lie!
Tell me its good medicine
Decide!
If this breath is truly mine
Lie
The truth is on the other side
Decide
This has become do or die!
The truth is
I know your name
I Know your name
You testify
To crucify
The things you hide!
And i know
But i, Lie!
Ripping and turning and tearing away from the core
Insides exposed, tidal waves flow back and forth
Rip away the day when you feel it
Running away from the sun
Running away from the…
Sun rises
The sun rises
Lie!
Take your fucking medicine
Decide
If this breath is truly mine
Lie
The truth is on the other side
Decide
This has become do or die
Cut by clarity
Im still bleeding
Washing it all away
Hold on for the sun!

In The Bone

Inching further in the bone, i know it now
Inhale exhale, part of me, this unrest
Heart rate hammering
The static increases
My vision, unfocused
It’s everywhere!
Surrounding, inward
Its all i see, i know it now
Inching, inward
It’s in the bone!
Paralyzed
I still need you
Synchronized
Everytime you fade i
Follow your shadow
Until I’m hollow
Its your silence
That kills me, complicates me
Creeping into every corner of my mind
I wait for, sleep to take me
I still breathe for you
Paralyzed
I still need you
Synchronized
Every time you fade i
Follow your shadow
Until im hollow
Inching further in the bone, i know it now
Your life force, fading
Part of me, this unrest
Inching further in the bone, you're in the bone
Inching further, deep in the bone
Breathe (x3)
Breathe and speak to me!
I need it…
Speak to me, i need it!
It’s your silence, that complicates me
Creeping into every corner of my mind
I wait for death to take me
I still bleed for you!
Paralyzed
I still need you
Syncronized
Everytime you fade i
Die inside!
I still bleed you
Synchronized
Everytime you fade i...

I loosen up my mind only to find
The spiders seem to climb, i was wasting away
The bending of my spine, i realign
Looking to the sky for the god that i left behind
I loosen up my eyes, i realize
There’s more to this than what i chose to be
It’s obvious in time, this will subside
I can feel the bad blood is leaving me
My ancient machinery reborn
The creaking of bones and the misfires of sputtering lungs
(It’s only begun)
This body will be the awakening or the tomb
Rise!
Fight to breath
Fight to live
Show me the Signs!
I open my eyes and realize
That my circuitry is still holding
Synapses entwined, they keep the time
Propelling this ancient machinery
Checking vital signs
I’m realigned
This body is finally responding
And becomes my design
I sanctify
The sacrifice and the offering
Optimum reality, realized
Pulsing in tandem with the eb and flow of this life
(the edge of the knife)
Survival is the tightrope walk we all must take
I can realign and redesign a brand new life
I can realign and redesign this ancient machinery
This life is mine!

Seeker

The sun no longer blinds my eyes
I reach for the sky
(This body was built to provide
The answer to all of these cries
I see the signs) x2
I can realign and redesign brand new life
Adrenaline is creeping in
Watch the world move with this goliath rising
A force of man
To shape the earth and break the bonds of its creation
The great expanse a blank canvas
Witness the explosive dawning i will be
A being whole
I am the seeker now
Now!
Breathing the unknown (x2)
Step into the light
Concious suicide
Kill the parasite
Let the sickness die
Let it die
Stealing the energy from the shadow
I give all that’s left in me for tomorrow
I feel it!
The shadow speaks
It begs of me
To keep its home in this goliath rising
No quarter now
Its cast aside
I leap into this future of elation
The great expanse
Embraced as love
Witness how i conquer my natural right to breath
I am the soul
I am the seeker now
Breathing the unknown (x2)
Step into the light
Conscious suicide
Kill the parasite
Let the sickness die
Let it die!
The sun longer blinds my eyes
I reach for the Sky!
Stealing the energy from the shadow
I give all that's left in me, for tomorrow
