Honest Beast 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Oh you swear you cannot tell a lie An honest beast until the day you die Coursing through your veins just like a sin All the words you have, fail again and soaked into the ground (is red) I can’t believe that I got what I wanted About to deceive all the people I hate I can’t believe that this all the cost there is My heart and my shame Oh you swear you cannot tell a lie you 'prophesy' one foot in the fire empty words that don't mean a thing a perfect picture to get under your skin and soaked into the ground (is red) I can’t believe that I got what I wanted About to deceive all the people I hate I can’t believe that this is all the cost there is My heart and my shame I am nothing if not an honest beast Share my thoughts through gritted teeth And contrary to my belief You don’t care (but throw money in the offering) I am nothing..... if not an honest beast (but throw some money… Throw money in the offering) I am nothing if not an honest beast Share my thoughts through gritted teeth And contrary to my belief You don’t care (but throw money in the offering)

Liars 04:39
lyrics

How do we know if we really loved each other Was it manipulation or chemistry? How do we know? we twist and turn it’s typical, with anything that’s difficult. What are we supposed to say? That we’re the best of the best, the worst of worst? we’re liars What are we supposed to do? remember either way right now you’re one of the liars, one of the liars So why work things out when we know nothing ever changes how did we think this would be different? Different? .... no That we’re the best of the best, the worst of worst? we’re liars What are we supposed to do? remember either way right now you’re one of the liars, one of the liars when I say you had it all your own way I’m a liar and when you say it was me that chased you away you’re one of the liars, one of the liars' what are we supposed say? when they ask why we didn't fight any harder? What are we supposed to say? when they ask why we didn't put it all on the line? And I know what you think, that if you were me you wouldn’t make these mistakes. Well, I have to admit, that if I were you I might feel the way you do. What are we supposed to say? That we’re the best of the best, the worst of worst? we’re liars What are we supposed to do? remember either way right now you’re one of the liars And if I say you had it all your own way I’m a liar and when you say it was me that chased you away you’re one of the liars one of the liars

Oh, Horror 03:38
lyrics

Oh horror, I spent all these years loving you! Oh horror, tell me now what the hell am I supposed to do? Early morning light across the bed, held in your arms gone from your head the promise of his sweat on your skin has your heart The words from your lips, like a semitone are quite out of key with love we’ve grown the violence in your eyes, a liar it's showing Oh, the eloquent words that you speak, show the soul of a monster eager to break me Could I stay and not be found in the darkness by you? In the darkness by you? Could I stay and not be found in the darkness by you? the darkness In the darkness by you? The open door, and the empty room are silent now like a prepared tomb for the ghosts of your son and the one, the one you claim you ‘love’ A selfish violent heart beats in your chest the promises to me, are the lies you leave as you left I wonder if I hide would you stay if I could not say goodbye Oh! the eloquent words that you speak, show the soul of a monster eager to break me Oh horror, I spent all these years loving you! Oh horror, tell me now what the hell am I supposed to do? Oh horror, I spent all these years loving you! Oh horror, tell me now what the hell am I supposed to do? Could I stay and not be found in the darkness by you? In the darkness, the darkness by you?

Wrath 04:14
lyrics

The city can’t remember (and why would they remember?) the victories we claimed (so proud of those victories) Promises of late September, (all those empty promises) under a tree in pouring rain They say it floats before your eyes, all your joys and all your lies All these things turn cold and fade to blue Like the memory of you I may perish in the aftermath Lungs on fire holding onto breath Don’t want to break the surface And face His wrath Time moves on as it always does, steady and slow Waiting for no, No-one at all They say it floats before your eyes, all your joys and all your lies All these things turn cold and fade to blue Like the memory of you I may perish in the aftermath Lungs on fire holding onto breath Don’t want to break the surface And face His wrath Nothing happened under a tree in the pouring rain They say it floats before your eyes, all your joys and all your lies All these things turn cold and fade to blue Like the memory of you I may perish in the aftermath Lungs on fire holding onto breath Don’t want to break the surface And face His wrath

The Juniper Coast 04:53

juniper coast, how could we know that the breakers would roll over and over breathe you no more tried to call but the signal was lost as I saw you tumble to your last it’s a pale light at the start of the dawn it’s the closing of eyes, that are overly worn the blue lights make your face glow you are held in place, still beautiful and I can see the peace in your eyes the smell of juniper lingers on your lips it’s a pale light at the start of the dawn it’s the closing of eyes, that are overly worn it’s a pale light at the start of the dawn it’s the closing of eyes, that are overly worn

Coalesce 04:47

Prophet for profit When the veil starts to thin It all begins to coalesce The beggar and the thief within I’m just a thief within There’s no fear of fire When you believe what you lie There’s no root of honesty When you’re- tryna get by I’m a thief within I'm just a thief within The wolf that howls just like blowing wind The silent God in the night again, in the night again Prophet for profit When the veil starts to thin It all begins to coalesce The beggar and the thief within I’m just a thief within There’s no fear of fire When you believe what you lie There’s no root of honesty When you’re- tryna get by I’m a thief within I'm just a thief within The wolf that howls just like blowing wind The silent God in the night again, in the night again if this all fades to nothing and if I'm caught in this lie I'm wondering why wondering if I care? a fanciful work of fiction one of the best I ever read I'm wondering why wondering if I care? The wolf that howls just like blowing wind The silent God in the night again,
