Will 03:05
You run with The legs of the wind The eyes of a victim Claw me off like ancient cloth Make for the end Make sure you're doing your best Make sure you're doing your best With a fury like no other I will tear you in to ribbons of red A howling distance Over my bed A make shift silence Claw me off like Ancient cloth Make me yours again Make sure you're doing your best Make sure you're doing your best With a fury like no other I will tear you in to ribbons of red Over fields and suburbs, captivate you I will Hold me closer

Graves 04:03
We make oaths up to a god we don't believe in Make a choice to forge our lives around a crumbling foundation Every day, when we wake up, assume the family position Have a child and let it eat you from the inside, from the inside I take your hand in mine You turn the lights out Your eyes are graves to me and I'm falling in Empty plates and tired mouths surround the table What we were, is just a myth, a stupid joke, another fable Tying knots, just to break them in a violent display of How we know, that we've been fooled by what we thought Was something real, something real I take your hand in mine You turn the lights out Your eyes are graves to me and I'm falling in I can't bear to say your name or even glance in your direction All I have is your abuse when all I need is your protection There's a weight around my finger and it;s dragging me beneath I'm letting go I take your hand in mine For the last time

Weeper 04:48
Restless, why am I so restless? Just curtains to fling open, to sights of suburbian lows Answer me, why wont you answer me? You sit with my blood and bone, your fingers and head look swollen You are no match for, the life I gave When you grow up strong, will you look back at me? Cold, it's always so cold in This house that I did not choose, but otherwise what would we do? And your tiny eyes scream mother, what have you done to me? I'm bound to a life not lived, a slave to my own existence You are no match for, the life I gave When you grow up strong, will you look back at me? We can't go on like this You are no match for the life I gave When you grow up weak, will you look at me?

Patient 04:34
Moving waves, on the screen, of a life support machine Making shapes, in her sleep, it's getting worse it;s getting worse I can fit, in between, when she laughs and when she bleeds I am harder to defeat, they say it's easier, easier for me I don't believe it He's been there with his fist, running white around my wrist He deserves more than this, it's getting worse, it's getting worse It's been days, maybe weeks, he's trading everything for me An empty car in the street A sinking ship, a sinking ship, a sinking I don't believe it I've been there, with my fist Running white around your wrist You deserve, more than this It's getting worse, it's getting worse It's been days, maybe weeks You're trading everything for me An empty car in the street, A sinking ship, a sinking ship It's never worth it But we can't help it

Something's killing you, drowning out the laughter An obstacle that's laying you low It could be oceans, mountains or walls of fire You don't care but frankly you don't know Every phone call pokes holes in the membrane That wraps itself between the two of us The dialect of angels is nails on a chalkboard To those of us who think we are in love Don't let the world swallow you I dine in silence on bread ground from hardship The easier it is the more it tastes like ash I've been waiting on a future promised years ago and Living in a house that wasn't built to last In your eyes I'm just a gap that not too long ago Was filled by someone you could lean on Yet in mine, in legion you are anguish A beautiful passenger alone Don't let the world swallow you
