Here we're all in flames When we come undone We'll all be as one Nothing will be left for us to save Here we've lost the cause Because we've lost all hope We can no longer cope Grab a rope and hang around with me Hasn't there always been such a problem One where I'll lose all the words to say I laughed at all the good times and the bad ones Knowing that I'll turn the other way Now I lie awake at night in sleepless fright of guilt and shame Just singeing with the pain brought on by flames

Colorless face Gushing blood on the staircase Crimson arrays bouncing off heaven's gate Don't you know the feeling This is the place where judgment rules out your fate Missteps in place that remain unerased Well I know that it's crazy but I think that you maybe won't see Oh when we fall apart Oh that's where we shall start Now you'll turn around Now you will fall down a bottomless pit With demons brandishing whips Rigor mortis still-life survived abortion Exorcisms igniting flame distortions Creeps down your spine like a bane contortion Peter won't you let me meet my maker Now you'll turn around Now you will fall down a bottomless pit Don't wanna die My life is spent Withered away I can't deny That I don't want To live in damnation Pain is good for Pain is good for Pain is good for ghosts Even with the ones I love the most Heightened horizons besieged by self-indulgence Violence and silence received by those in defense Well she only wanted pain to stop Strained and topped Drained and dropped tonight Why do we have to die Always wondered why I can't save myself

Call me I'll say not what you want to hear But instead what you fear to be true Then you can treat me the same way that I treat you It's only a matter of time The consequences Make me defenseless So call me And tell me that its not okay For me to be this way and to resist Scream til your lungs collapse and then pretend I don't exist Coz I'm already dead where I stand Watch my scattered ashes float until they've landed Then I'll go the same distance just to come back empty handed Carry on if I dare to be wrong So call me To take our trips down memory lane And get lost in the bad shit we forgot Jump down each other's throats until we choke on what is gone Let's leave the past where it belongs Coz I'm already dead where I stand Watch my scattered ashes float until they've landed Then I'll go the same distance just to come back empty handed Carry on if I do dare to be wrong Call me I'll say not what you want to hear But instead what you fear to be true Then you can treat me the same way that I treat you

Woe is Me 03:47
Woe is me I can see that I don't know what to do And I can't seem to win Don't even know where to begin But it was me Who did the dirty deeds That did outlast my life indeed I'm where all the evil-doers come and go I can smell them burning slow Sometimes I wish I would've cried with the saints Instead I'm dead with the tainted ones And I can't escape it nor erase it So I guess it's time for me to face it I'll tell you why they will never leave me alone Coz I could never save myself from fading away From the same flesh that once betrayed my sense of good When the evil becomes you it could never be this true The things you did in life will become living proof Woe is me I can see that I don't know what to do And I can't seem to win Don't even know where to begin But it was me Who did the dirty deeds That did outlast my life indeed Had the words to say But it didn't matter anyway The things that put me here appearing to be true Time for me to pray Even then I may not get away But it's the only chance I have to seek the proof

Inferno 05:28
Some things don't change Just let death rearrange What was supposed to come of us It's what's become of us Don't be ashamed of us Don't rest in peace Just at least sin for your maker It's what's supposed to come of us It's what's become of us I'll let you be the judge Let this haunted house dilapidate this insurrection Goodness sake My hands are up and I am pleading I'm not the new one yeah Though I'm fairly certain that it's too ugly To really even know what to do Take this bloody head At the hour of our death Father son amen Holy ghosts and last breaths Don't falter yet Hell's a bath full of the fire It's always going to be the one you love Come to me now Rest your head onto the fire It's always going to be the one you love Come to me now And tell me that you didn't want this All the monsters freed under your bed Come to me now And tell me that you didn't want this Look over your shoulders I'll be dead Come to me now And tell me that you didn't want this All the monsters freed under your bed Come to me now And tell me that you didn't want this Look over your shoulders I'll be dead

Homecoming pain Lost me again like the wounds inside my head Why let God decide what's best for me Throwing fits Over lifelines left unfixed Over time that's passing on Isn't how it was supposed to be It's insane but obvious Just remain a menace Unrepentant shame Did we need to fuss It's a shame but it's a must As the flames engulfing us And if we're throwing fits Watch your step The threat lets you forget the blame Go meet your maker Last undertaker stands before you Wouldn't it be good enough for you Homecoming pain Lost me again like the wounds inside my head Why let God decide what's best for me Throwing fits Over lifelines left unfixed Over time that's passing on Isn't how it was supposed to be It's insane but obvious Just remain a menace Unrepentant shame

Tried to hop off the rattler for a long time May the circle stay unbroken to cross the great divide I'll be lured with a scythe to a double crossing bind With the trouble I've been getting will seal my fate in time But I didn't want the trouble To lead me down that path I wish I could save myself from that There's no use in finding an easy way out now Little peasant let your presence dissolve to my command I'll be waiting for you at the darkest hour Like some butcher in a black cloak to slaughter idle hands But I didn't want the trouble To lead me down that path The aftermath is coming I stand divided and undecided about the omens Do I wallow or do I shine Everything will be fine I came across the albatross that's hanging around my neck And it takes just one wrong step to make it tighten

Colored Rays 04:26
Now we've reached the living end Cross your hearts let hope die Even if you say goodbye it wouldn't matter anyway Words you missed left undead Is it really me? Zombie fits in the street Can you really say "acid hits, blown away" Only goes one way I can see light coming from the skies Little colored rays Life is flashing before my eyes Death must mingle in the way Pray to God he does too We do what we're supposed to do Rat race panic Life today surely will be undone I should know the pain living inside my brain Cancer in my head It's just me left for dead Only goes one way I can see light coming from the skies Little colored rays Life is flashing before my eyes Pearly golden gates They fade away and I don't exist Scorching burning flames Looks like colored rays to me It's true, slowly burning too See it's true, hell's what happens to you Kaleidoscopic remains Life shall unhinge its jaws Slowly it swallows us all Devouring all the pain Flashing lights on us all Multicolored Dreams paint these scenes So obscene Death rattle dismay I can see colored rays Only goes one way I can see light coming from the skies Little colored rays Life is flashing before my eyes Pearly golden gates They fade away and I don't exist Scorching burning flames Looks like colored rays to me It's true, slowly burning too See it's true, hell's what happens to you I see I'm in hell I'm blinded by colored rays

Oh the path is endless but knowing is half the battle Look both ways before you cross all the things that you lost When the shit all comes down to you When you didn't have a thing to lose Lighten up or believe your lies are true Shots in the dark forced you up against a wall of all your fears Clearly its been years and it's your fault since you made your own hell Oh everyone can tell The words you said so well were the same ones that made you fell So leave the light on So you can see you had no grace to fall from And that's your only problem No shades of grey can even be conveyed Though you'll lose the chase because you take but never learned to give Fall you'll just fall apart You knew it from the start because you never had a heart So leave the light on So you can see you had no grace to fall from And that it isn't just your only problem And I never wanted to tell you So your path has ended You'll be the one who stands tall Shortly before you will fall When the shit all came down to you You didn't have a thing to lose And I'm sure I won't be the last you'll use It's me

Ipso Facto 06:20
At what cost is such a loss to be forgotten Never for the life of me Have I been capable to agree So beside myself The swelter of my madness Isn't gonna be lost onto me I'm just a freak Soft whispers faint ain't helping not this time Comfort the saint taints those who perish fine Your mistake was not made for you Things you lived with Things I don't think I'll ever repeat Because I'm feeling so obsolete At which cross do you genuflect to Succumbing feels better than what we have with fate I cannot wait Lost cause ashamed pain ain't brought forth by blame Feigned kindness came rained down like bursts of flames Soft spoken phrase Thought you knew it's true because I wasn't telling you Caught split more ways Toss and turned I've learned and earned the virtues honored proof Can't defend depends on when I'll lose my head again Will it be the end of me Are we friends or enemies Fell asleep at the wheel How do I feel crashing Now I'm crushed beyond belief Soft spoken phrase Thought you knew it's true because I wasn't telling you Caught split more ways Toss and turned I've learned and earned the virtues honored proof Is it better knowing it's not enough Would you rather have me go and be snuffed Does it matter Wasn't it good enough Lest we forget about the words that never were said Was it good enough Was it ever enough Won't you say Blessed are the meek those who are betrayed Sunshine rainy days always filled with shades of grey One thing led to another The cost is infinite Blessed are those who mourn are without faith Toppled down nine circles far from heaven's gate One thing led to another The loss is yours to win Take this last dance now and say your prayers Is this last chance how those who will care Take this last dance now and contemplate We'll meet again but if not too late
