Альбом The Killing Tree

the voices carry still
across these dull great plains
growing louder everyday
sinking back to habits dying hard
your arms are so familiar
these wounds that time won't heal
fester with hate so pick the scab
and turn the page
until the lion lears to write,
the hunter will be glorified
flip the switch
and here I sit on the outside
eight dollar haircut (fuck you)
these words are my leash
that I cannot untie
dragging meinto this night
cover my ears, but still you call my name
I will follow you (deeper into this night)
dim the lights and tighten this noose
I've lost myself in you
I won't settle for anything less
not one if us immune

stage set
curtain
song queued
expectaion
spotlight
act one
applause/bow
repeat steps

can't you see right now my hands are bleeding
blisters broken dripping from the ceiling
I don't want to be here now
I've fallen apart and I can't pick up the pieces
I cry in the dark and cup my ears to seashells
to hear the solitude it brings

so many faces - so many voices - so many reaaons
to give this up and this goes on and on

can't you hear right now my ears are ringing?
my head held in my hands to stop the spinning
it stops only to start again
my home has long since been replaced
with a world this window pane

have I finally gone too far to come home?
this world might wait for me tonight, but she won't
now only time will tell if these wax-wings will melt
only moments to spare

we fall asleep with the color of the sunrise
we count the years on circles under our eyes
we dream in shades of blue and gray
we speak in tongues of metaphors and stories
we bleed the ink of subtle allegory
we are the needle in the hay

switchblade feel the tempered steel
against your skin so innocent
orchestrate this demise and
shut up and pay attention
searching for an artery of
blind affection digging for this vein
to tap dry then savor
shut up and pay attention
eyes wide with surpasses only by my own
so fucking scared of the consequence

shut up and pay attention
I want someone to listen
now you don't believe me
how I won't let you hear a word that I said

you're all I want to know
you're all I want to hear
you don't know what you mean to me
you don't know what it means to be

switchblade lock action into place
quick release such a pretty face
too late the time for taking long since passed
shut up and pay attention
quiet please you had your chance now
setting in like wet concrete
reality begins to harden

shut up and pay attention
I want someone to listen
now you don't believe me
how I won't let you hear a word that I said

you're all I want to know
you're all I want to hear
you don't know what you mean to me
you don't know what it means to be

Reap my soul.
I whisper cruel words that
only I can hear.
I dream in a never ending line of tragedy.
Reap my soul
disposition neckbraced
by insecurity.
Let freedom
ring in my ears
painfully. And muffle this bell with the
hand of pessimism
and render it useless.


you can't stop this thought
like a passing trainwreck
it barrels through my brain, paralyzing.
In this state your words
become the daggers and I'm left bleeding.
These wounds of trust I know
as tunnel vision creates
my only sanctuary. As hope manifests
itself in the thought
of an end. A dying breath.
Reap my soul.
I'm not sure I can go on.
So drag me down
into your world.
Replace my heart
with your machine
and see if it still bleeds.

Become my enemy.

Reap my soul
My eyeslids become my enemies
I fight them to save myself
from the scene.
As the groundwork for my nightmares
is created
I stand helpless to this chaos in my head
and yet the chaos stands beautifully now
like a carefully designed city of conformity.

And I'll keep you awake tonight
and I'll hurt you
until sunrise
in this attempt to displace
this pushing attack on my senses.
Reap my soul
I'm not sure I can go on.
Now drag me down
into your world.
Replace my heart with
your machine
and see if it still bleeds
I'll cover my tracks
so you can't trace
this accident to me.

Drag me down now.

Somehow I knew that this would end
and then I finally found my way back home.
And this is all one master plan
to keep us spinning down this endless well
I'm drowning in my own regrets
I'm trying so hard to take what's my last breath.
This is all I wanted from you.
So alone and now I'll have you know

If you can stand on your own two feet
then you can get up off your fucking knees.
Stand up and wash
away the blood
that stains your soul.
You've given me reason
to tear you apart.
Now you can't fix whats already broke

Now I'll have you know.

Don't surrender,
never give up your fucking life.
you lied
about
your pride in self.
I pushed from inside your skin
I eat you away from within
You'll never see the sun again

I'll have you know
look away
from this broken mirror
now the time has come to
slow the beating of this heart.

I never noticed the color of your eyes
Until I saw them in the reflection of this knife.
Green with envy for a life you never had.
Bloodshot contempt when I extend my hand
(So breathe and show us what you've got underneath
clench your fists until they bleed)

See how and why I know
I don't think that this is what I want anymore
I don't care if God can save me now
Here I sit with hands cupped and head bowed
And I wonder if you're out there have you seen my name in lights?
I don't care at all
In this world of kiss & tell I've got no stories to speak of now
Silence fills this empty hole
So naive to think, that I could make you feel one thing

This excavation of my chest has produced nothing
Bow your head and pull your eyes down to see
My hand around your wrist
Turn and twist this blade deeper into me
(You can't always get what you want
but if you try sometimes you'll die on you knees)
Wait 'til the perfect comes
Until it comes

I've seen nations
I've seen empires
rise and fall in your eyes
just enough to come crawling back to you
but not enought to turn the tide
the song she sings infects my ears
the dances she dances fills my eyes
helpless to her beckoning
inside her smile
I'm hypnotized
no one gets out of here alive

I am counting to infinity with you
so don't worry about me
either way I'll despiese you
at least put up a fight
give me something to do
I am counting to infinity with you

so let me hear you scream my name
until the blood drips from your throat
so come lets play these games
until we bleed or until we choke

you spent your life just withing you were dead
so you tried and tried but then said these things take time
so overwhelmed with guilt that clouds my head
I'll trade these thoughts of you fro something else instead
so come on in right now this waters fine
let me clip your wings so you can never leave
I'm giving up on thoughts of infinity (scream my name).

lie with those sweet words that fall from your lips
stare so cold and calulating worht the risk
escape from this life of expectations to finally die free

the virus grows inside my head here
it makes me speak in screams and whispers
no need to aplolgize
I see deceit behind your eyes

there is nothingleft for us here

start a war
a war for two
a final suicide
I can share with you

the death of affection
under your discretion
breathe life to the lifeless
breathe life
