"Cold Blood"
Ignorance breeds fear, breeds hate, breeds violence
Everything falls down and breaks in silence
We could forgive and then forget and start over
We could finally try it stone cold sober
No more dark clouds over the horizon
We killed it in cold blood
Did it for so long
God rest her soul
Until there was no love
Until it was all gone
Nothing could grow
We killed it in cold blood
Loneliness is the curse of the broken hearted
I came undone and you just fell apart
Maybe some distance can heal us both now
We had it once but we lost it somehow
Maybe the dark clouds are finally behind us
We killed it in cold blood
Did it for so long
God rest her soul
Until there was no love
Until it was all gone
Nothing could grow
We killed it in cold blood
Ignorance breeds hate breeds violence
Everything breaks down in silence
Your ignorance breeds hate breeds violence
Everything breaks down in silence
We killed it in cold blood
Did it for so long
God rest her soul
Until there was no love
Until it was all gone
Nothing could grow
We killed it in cold blood
"Shadowmaker"
(feat. Franky Perez)
Reach through my window and pull the shades
No shine, no sunlight, just cold and grey
There’s no way to rise from beneath your wings
Chained to your side, I can never leave
[Chorus:]
You choke out the light like a cloud hanging over me
Shadow maker,
You’re dragging me down with your suicidal symphony
Shadow maker, over my head, over my head
Everything is so empty, no glass half full
How can someone so beautiful be so miserable?
I’d follow you down to the edges of earth
Just to hear you say that your life is cursed
[Chorus:]
You choke out the light like a cloud hanging over me
Shadow maker,
You’re dragging me down with your suicidal symphony
Shadow maker over my head, over my head
You won’t let me leave, I don’t wanna stay
But the price on my head is weighing me down
And it feels like I’m dying inside
But you don’t care, we carry on
You won’t let me leave, I don’t wanna stay
But the price on my head is weighing me down
And it feels like I’m dying inside
But you don’t care, we carry on
You choke out the light like a cloud hanging over me
You’re dragging me down with your suicidal symphony
Shadow maker
[Chorus:]
You choke out the light like a cloud hanging over me
Shadow maker
You’re dragging me down with your suicidal symphony
Shadow maker over my head, over my head
Back the f*ck up
Back the f*ck up
Back the f*ck up
"Slow Burn"
I burn for you every time I hear your name
When I think I see your face, I know, it must be madness
I feel the sting striking at me like a match
Anything to bring you back - if only for a moment
I can feel your slow burn growing in me
Everywhere I go, you're right there with me... holding on, ever long
Wish I could forget I could not remember, all I have left is the ash and embers
Permanent. Smoldering
Just like a slow burn, stay with me forever
I can't let you ever fade away
Just like a slow burn, say you'll never let me down and never go out
I fall apart like paper put to flame
The life we had reduce to ashes right before us
Every hurtful word, burned into my side
Much to hard to speak, scarred to deep to hide
Just like a slow burn, stay with me forever
I can't let you ever fade away
Just like a slow burn, say you'll never let me down
And never go out, my slow burn, burning me down
I walk the fire - I feed the flame
I'd walk the fire - I'd feel your flame
Just like a slow burn, stay with me forever
I cant let you ever fade away
Just like a slow burn, lay with me forever
Our light it shines forever, never fades away
Just like a slow burn, stay with me forever
I can't let you ever fade away
Just like a slow burn, say you'll never let me down
Please never go out, my slow burn, burning me down
"Hole In My Soul"
It's getting dark and I'm lost in the woods
I'd find a way out if I knew where to look
If I could, I'd rip this page out of my book
I'm confused and misguided,
And my faith is beside me
I've got a hole in my soul where you used to be
There's a thorn in my heart and it's killing me
I wish I could go back and do it all differently
'Cause now there's a hole in my soul where you used to be
A fire inside but my blood's turning cold
I'm walking alone down this desolate road
Yesterday feels like a life time ago
The memories are fading,
And my dreams are all changing
I've got a hole in my soul where you used to be
There's a thorn in my heart and it's killing me
I wish I could go back and do it all differently
'Cause now there's a hole in my soul where you used to be
There's a hole in my heart, in my life, in my way
And it's filled with regret and all I did, to push you away
If there's still a place in your life, in your heart for me
I would do anything, so don't ask me to leave
I've got a hole in my soul where you used to be
You're the thorn in my heart and you're killing me
I wish I could go back and do it all differently
I wish that I'd treated you differently
'Cause now there's a hole in my soul where you used to be
"House Of Chains"
Pitch black, no light
No day, no night
I’m trapped inside your broken house of chains
When you invited me into your majesty
I was so eager to please I treated you like a temple
Didn’t take long to find your kind it preys on my kind
Getting in was so easy, getting out not so simple
You keep me underneath your angel wings
I’m tied to you (in your house of chains)
I’m locked inside you know I’ll never leave
I’m yours to use (in your house of chains)
Rooms full of trophies of all the victims before me
Nothing left but the bones stacked up like a collection
You got me smothered in bliss you suffocate with a kiss
You take away all the fight then bring me down to submission
You keep me underneath your angel wings
I’m tied to you (in your house of chains)
I’m locked inside you know I’ll never leave
I’m yours to use (in your house of chains)
I’m trapped inside your cold embrace (in your house of chains)
I’m locked inside you know I’ll never leave
I’m yours to use (in your house of chains)
"Come Back Down"
I am standing like a road block
Buried in the side walk
I need something more than nothing
Something make me feel alive, alive
I would die to feel alive
Hang me high and bleed me dry
Cause every door you closed
Every debt you owe
Is waiting there when you...
Come back down
The pain and suffering
The ones you couldn't face
Are waiting there when you...
Come back down
I am standing at a crossroad
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
I am breathing under water
In case my demons drag me down
I would die to feel alive
Hang me high and bleed me dry
Cause every door you closed
Every debt you owe
Is waiting there when you...
Come back down
The pain and suffering
The ones you couldn't face
Are waiting there when you...
Come back down
Take me back to where I'm from, from, from
My blackened fingertips
Push the judge and jury in
Let the iron spin one last time
I laid down in my bed
To dye the pillow crimson red
Turn my head inside out
I couldn't stand myself, but God
I was so eager to please
I gave away everything to make room for my disease
Lace your hands around my neck
Make a fist and steal my breath
I'll praise your name and sign my name
One last time
Leave my skin on the floor
Kick the chair, stretch the cord
Till that part of me is gone for good
It's gone for good [x4]
Bring me back to life!
Cause every door you closed
Every debt you owe
Is waiting there when you...
Come back down
The pain and suffering
The ones you couldn't face
Are waiting there when you...
Come back, come back, come back down
"Sea Song (You Waded Out)"
When you speak my name it don’t matter to me
Where you place your blame it don’t matter to me
Oh where could you be walking to it don’t matter to me
Where do you go to?
You waded out, you waded out. The sea calls back to you
Take my wicked heart it don’t matter to me
Turn my twisted words it don’t matter to me
Oh what are you here waiting for it don’t matter to me
Where do you go to you don’t matter to me
You waded out, you waded out. The sea calls back to you
"Dead Man's Eyes"
A narrow path through hallowed grounds
A silent walk among the clouds
A pile of stones hidden in the pine
Only seen through dead man’s eyes…
Autumn leaves turn brandy wine
Fall and dance in the wind outside
A shadow wanders though the fog
Searching for the light it lost
I’m not afraid
Because I’m not alone
She’s waiting there
To carry me home
A lifetime written in his weathered red face
Every triumph, every fall from grace
Another winters come and gone
It won’t be long…
I’m not afraid
Because I’m not alone
She’s waiting there
To carry me home
I’m coming home,
I’m coming home!
