In the Way 01:10
I'm in the way of myself lately

Coyote 04:40
I was once a young man Bound to the grave A heart of hate The days came and went A passing train My energy spent running through the mist I found a way to deal with it A plane ticket west The mountains were my home The need for something to conquer A kingdom to call my own We all want to run away from the things that make us sick No guilty conscience and no wounds to lick Packing up and getting out Following the sunset Nomad; I wander without a cause There's no looking back Hard times breed hard minds I found myself, but I ran into you I walked away, but I fell back into my old ways I can see you in the mirror Hatred / Rage The same thing that I (ran away from) The reflection is (glaring at me) And he said something (along the lines of ) "You won't be here long" The demon that I ran from is snarling through the mirror He reached out a hand (there's no looking back) I glared back at him, undaunted He's waning under me I will not fall back I will not give into you Put your rope around my neck Walk me through the gallows I'd rather die than spit in the face of everything I've worked for I am not afraid of you I found myself, no longer cursed by you I walked away, but I fell back into my old ways I can't see in the mirror Hatred / Rage I am king I am home I am free on my own

I threw a rock through the walls of a glass house I'll stand for something or I'll die for nothing Falling shards reflect with hellfire Such a beautiful tragedy They crash upon my feet And it begins to Regenerate Metastasize The Devil shares my name, my teeth and an ear "Come with me" he says, "you have a home right here" He draws me close and invites me in Like hell I have a chance in hell Breathing on the embers just to fan the flames I have burned myself with my own judgements Through the pain, against the grain I will find my way I have burned myself with my own judgements There's mistakes that I have made, but I won't waste away I could descend into my own grave I could forget myself and every one else's name I could find peace and comfort in the eternal planes The man that I've become is not the one I ever dreamed I would be I'm through with these self defeating ways These thoughts are whipped to a froth I have burned myself with my own judgements Through the pain, against the grain I will find my way I have burned myself with my own judgements There's mistakes that I have made, but I won't waste away

Screaming into the void like I knew I would Fake this face like I know I could Find a way out of this shell And into the sunlight from the dirt I've changed my point of view by walking to the edge of the Earth Staring at the horizon; hawk eyed Kingdom minded Hey, I can find a way out of this I can find some kind comfort Some clarity I will find a way out of this hell I've made Scratching and clawing my way out of this hell I've been reaching for a limb to grasp Hey, I can find a way out of this I can find some kind of comfort Some clarity I will find a way out of this hell I've made I've been bound to the core of the Earth I've been bound to the floor shackled by the feet May these chains lay in rust around me I am set free

Wallflower 05:22
Have you ever felt like you're trapped in one place (motionless) as the world keeps turning? Being left behind as time keeps hurling forward; to be a part of something but won't hold your breath (Screaming for someone to notice) Days like these aren't too far in-between Acceptance is not a hope or a dream Are we branded by insecurities? Will we let this judgement bring us to our knees? We've all been stuck in that still and quiet place (in the void) With nowhere to hide from the noise And when the silence becomes deafening We've clutched our ears, and shut our eyes, and filled our lungs to scream at the sky until somebody hears our cries There's no sanctity of love for our species Tribalistic minds will put us all six feet deep Have you ever felt like you're trapped in one place (motionless) as the world keeps turning? Being left behind as time keeps hurling forward; to be a part of something, but won't hold your breath (Screaming for someone to notice that you're alive) The silence is deafening The silence means everything Stuck in the frame of the footage that goes unnoticed Subliminal; we are static in the background - a pixel in the frame Were you ever good enough for yourself?

Shiloh 04:48
I can't let you go Something about you has taken hold When you whisper in my ear You had me in that moment Our hearts intertwined; our lives frozen in time Before you came I was intangible And like the spring, you phased out the cold when your hand grazed mine You took off your dress and it fell to the floor Then you embraced me Take my hand And never let it go No matter the storm she'll be the light that guides me home You let down your hair and beauty fell with the strands Your eyes would lock to mine every time You painted your nails, and smiled as I noticed I relaxed with a sigh As you embraced me Will you take my hand And never let it go Through the seasons and storms The wind and the rain because I won't let you go You have taken hold This is my shelter This is my Shiloh You fell from the veil Trusted me with your soul I'll keep you safe as we grow old I'm undeserving of your love But will you embrace me? Will you trust me? When I'm called back to His kingdom I know I'll find an angel colored white and gold Her hair feels like yours Her name is Shiloh

We were standing tall like the mountains; as heavy as the seas There's no youth from the fountain Prosperity will bleed everything she had It's in all of our faces Flooding the interstitial spaces There's no fountain of youth Lies beget lies There is only one truth Humanity is a cancer We plague this Earth with conveniences and commodities She has but one answer Her eyes roll back She was tried and true We turned our backs when she was black and blue Is this how we thank the Earth, with domestic abuse? We act as though our children won't inherit the Earth Our blood will inherit the Earth Her eyes roll back She was tried and true She won't come back (from the dead) The blood is on our hands (we can't go back) Once the soil is dry And the oceans rise We will have no home What was the price? Inherit the Earth

Ichor 03:38
Upside down Liquid fire coursing through my veins Crimson colored eyes I find my way through the dark with a low-lit flame The only way to see through the shade I lost touch with what I could hold onto despite the strength in my hands I hear the echo in that plastic bottle while I stir you up Care for the body when it whispers You won't have to hear it scream Haunting my body with a darkened soul I'm warming up, but my spirit is cold You were cupped in the palms of my hands And I let you spill through my fingers An amber river flowing through the inner workings of my foundation Care for the body when it whispers You won't have to hear it scream Haunting my body with a darkened soul I'm warming up, but my spirit is cold I've shared my body with a goddess I've shielded my ears as she screams I haunt my body with a darkened soul Ichor warms me, but my spirit is cold Power and confidence channeled through my fingertips I held onto you so tightly even when I couldn't stand up for myself I was so proud of me for giving up on you I was so proud of me, but did you give a fuck?

Downheart 05:47
Heavy lies the weight of a scorned past Wait a moment and this too shall pass I'm in the way of myself lately A heavy feeling in the chest Sudden cardiac arrest If there's life after death, is there a time to truly rest? Has my soul become quiet now? Does he fall asleep as I spiral down As I spiral down I block it out to ignore the sound; it's overbearing Feet to the earth, head in the clouds; I'm disappearing As more of life fades I forget who I was trying to be A ghost in the shell, a flickering flame, a dying light I'm in the way of myself lately When Death caresses my skin, and my time has come to an end When I'm at the gates should I pretend that I'm not guilty of my sins? If I talk to the devil as a friend, does it mean that He won't let me in? Will He be able to forgive me when I've been here time and time again? I shut the door to keep it out; I swallowed the key Feet to the earth, head in the clouds; I'm disappearing As more of life fades, I forget who I was trying to be A ghost in the shell, a flickering flame, a wanna be I'm in the way of myself lately So much empty space in time and I get lost trying to find my peace of mind The end lingers just like a plague And what comes next is a mystery So much empty space in time; within that, I can't find the lines to end this song As if this were the only part of me that will live on Through power, there is strength Internal power / Internal strength Through power, there is strength Internal power = Eternal strength
