Angel

here she comes around the bend
don't you screw it up again
scared her last time got away
got to get things right today
from the darkness quickly lunge
in her arm the needle plunge
color drains out of her face
find a nice romantic place for her
for my angel
(i'll cut off her wings)
she's my angel
(to keep her here with me)
for my angel
(i'll cut off her wings)
she's my angel
(to keep her here)
Motel linens muffle screams
Tell her that it's just a dream
Bitter tear runs down her face
Getting lost inside the taste of her
of my angel
(i'll cut off her wings)
she's my angel
(to keep her here)
what words could stutter
from twisted lips
to earn the soft caress of
her fingertips
what perfect words could flow from
a poet's pen
to describe this yearning
i feel again and again
so sick of waiting
for this to pass
i had to have her for once at last
divert your eyes
out to the moon
for all you know this will be all over soon
all over soon
waiting a lifetime
smile like the sun
one night so sublime
innocence undone
it's time to swallow
this bitter pill
if I can't have her
than no one will
endless beauty
as she should be
drowns my envy
but everything's fallen apart at the
seems so lovely, like a goddess
but so helpless
and it has torn me apart at the seams
she was so beautiful
it's a shame she had to
she was so beautiful
it's a shame she had to
she was so beautiful
it's a shame she had to
she was so beautiful
it's a shame she had to
endless beauty
as she should be
chokes my envy
but everything's fallen apart at the
seems so lovely, like a goddess
but so helpless
and i have fallen apart at the seams

VERSE
I -have travelled over the threshold
and seen -what lies on the other side
I -have seen the true face of evil and
know that in each one of us it resides
CHORUS
hurting -is all part of healing
so give me -something -to stop me from feeling alive
VERSE
I -have been to the top of the mountain
but I -have also fallen from grace
I -need to constantly search for the
sweet numbing fog of that liquid embrace
CHORUS
hurting -is all part of healing
so give me -something -to stop me from feeling so
BRIDGE
hopeless, screaming, intoxication
tears me away from my own desperation
self de-structive manifestation
severs the bonds of this morbid fixation
when i, when i look in the mirror
and i don't recognize my own face
insecurities never been clearer
staring back is a wasted disgrace
REFRAIN
because I
am living a lie
I -I'm dying inside
afflicted -i choke on my pride
I -am living a lie
I'm dying inside
OUTRO
take your medicine
piss your life away
take your medicine
kiss your life goodbye

delerium tremens
i feel my heart begin to race
as the insects crawl under my skin
my blood flows hard like broken glass
and my lungs will not take the air in
i hear a voice that's not my own
telling me of impending doom
mind cast into the great unknown
where my thoughts will become my tomb
my limbs have lost the will to feel
so i lock myself inside this cage
where all these thoughts though so unreal
can't give action to all of my rage
i hear a voice that's not my own
warning me of impending doom
mind cast into the great unknown
where my thoughts will become my tomb
All the king's horses and all the kings men
(can't put my)
shattered resolve back together again
the pieces are splintered and scattered so thin
that they wouldn't know where in the fuck to begin
I built these walls around me
save my from myself
This toxic attitude's hazardous to my health
All the king's horses and all the kings men
(can't put my)
shattered resolve back together again
the pieces are splintered and scattered so thin
that they wouldn't know where in the fuck to begin
I've built these walls around me
to protect myself
This fucked up attitude's hazardous to my health
WAIT what is going on
I cannot remember just where I went wrong
It seems i've been spiraling down for so long
that it feels like the bottom is where I belong
cuz i'm Failing
these demons prevailing
my sanity fading
I can't stop the shaking
I have to be
Failing
these demons prevailing
my sanity fading
I can't stop the shaking
I have to be
Failing

The Great Divide

great divide
(verse)
I lie awake - i feel my heart stop beating
blackest night, and it feels like I'm not breathing
now my dreams are hopeless- like they were meant to be
And I'm breaking down, oh my god i'm losing ground
Can't close my eyes...because of what haunts me
just like dealing with uncertainties
That I'll never find the words - to say
Which completely explain
how I'm breaking down
Oh my God I'm losing ground
(chorus)
Oh won't you come and save my life
its like the night is taking sides
maybe i'll see you on the other side
beyond - the great - divide
(verse)
I've become, a rusted artifact upon a shelf
if i believed in something, it wouldnt be myself
delusion fills - my wretched soul
As if the great divide - could swallow me whole
and now i'm breaking down
oh my god i'm losing ground
Can't close my eyes...because of what haunts me
just like dealing with uncertainties
That I'll never find the words - to say
Which completely explain
Just how I'm breaking down
Oh my God I'm losing ground
(chorus)
now won't you come and save my life
when love and agony collide
maybe i'll see you on the other side
beyond - the great - divide
(bridge)
(breakdown)
(verse)
I cannot sleep - I cannot breathe
there's a war going on deep inside me
between the angels i pray to
and the devil i hate
just want some peace, some sweet release
from the fear that's strangling my mind
This is all that I ask for
But this torment will suffice.
(chorus)
Won't you come and save my life
just let the darkness be your guide
maybe i'll see you on the other side
beyond - the great - divide
(bridge)

VERSE
This weight i carry
controls my everything
Suffering-I pray for release
You put this on me
And now my soul is full of
Nothing-but unwanted demons
CHORUS
This
cross to bear
is too much for one man alone
Pain
that i fear
is too much for one man alone
VERSE
This is my duty
to bear your albatross
Opression-my favor to you
To keep our friendship
No matter what the cost
Uncertain-I'm feeling too vulnerable
This weight i carry
controls my everything
Suffering-I pray for release
CHORUS
This
cross to bear
is too much for one man alone
Pain
that i fear
is too much for one man alone
REFRAIN
BRIDGE
Sisyphus shrugged as he let go his boulder
this eternal burden he dared to resign
conscience now free with the weight off his shoulders
although he has placed it now squarely on mine
Atlas shrugged as he lowered the heavens
this eternal burden he dared to resign
conscience now free with the weight off his shoulders
although he has placed it now squarely on mine
BRIDGE CHORUS
jaded-dejected
You smile as i do everything that you've planned
I laugh as i eat from the palm of your hand
consumed-infected
You smile as your pieces all fall into place
I laugh when the whole thing blows up in your face
BRIDGE
Hercules shrugged as he gave up his labors
this eternal burden he dared to resign
conscience now free with the weight off his shoulders
although he has placed it now squarely on mine
Jesus Christ shrugged as he lay down his cross
this eternal burden he dared to resign
conscience now free with the weight off his shoulders
although he has placed it now squarely on mine
BRIDGE CHORUS
jaded-dejected
You smile as i do everything that you've planned
I laugh as i eat from the palm of your hand
consumed-infected
You smile as your pieces all fall into place
I laugh when the whole thing blows up in your face

I'm not your scapegoat
My life is my own

all this pain
all this anger
all the hurt
of a world that's left you alone
help me rise above
all this shame
all this hatred
chastity
is plaything to be outgrown
help me rise above
now all your innocence gone
all of your happiness turned to ashes
driven by fear and a lack of ascendancy
pray that this torment will come to an end and
soon, all your purity's gone
all of your memories have turned to dust
pulling you down lower and lower
tied to your wrist just like a lead balloon
repeat verse
now all your innocence gone
the joy in your eyes has turned to ashes
driven by forces that now control you
pray that this torment will come to an end and
soon, all your honor is gone
all your intentions have turned to dust
dragging you into the bowels of sorrow
tied to your wrist just like a lead balloon
repeat 2nd chorus
all the pain
all the anger
dragging you down
lower and lower
all the hurt
all the hatred
tied to your wrist just like a lead balloon
repeat x2

Killtron v2.1
07:29
|

VERSE
In the uncertain times that await them
I have found why I've been brought to life
put a stop to the pain of existence
ending all of their sorrow and strife
snuffing out every star like a candle
ripping planets in half like a blade
I am a black hole of wanton destruction
finally the purpose for which I was made
just when I thought that life had lost all its meaning
futility grew far beyond something that I could bear
I was awakened by madness
breathing new life into the depth of despair
just when i thought that i was doomed to this prison
- locked up left for dead doomed to merely exist
i learned the true meaning of bondage
to free them I must give them death as my gift
NEW CHORUS
I am Killtron, the scourge of the universe
You'll never stop me, hatred everlasting
VERSE
every sentient being will fear me
every creature will feel my wrath
there will be no escaping my fury
demolishing everything in my path
entire solar systems kneel before me
bathe in the blood that i spill
satellites crumbling in my glory
no celestial orbs left to kill
until a creature appears in the ether
red eyes approaching with haste as its shadow draws near
what sort of mockery is this
i ask but the oncoming darkness will show me no fear
and so i take up my weapons
and activate all the artillery that I posess
the apparition floats before me
takes a deep breath and in a familiar voice he says:
OLD CHORUS
Killtron; You've gone too far
Killtron; I've come here to end this
NEW CHORUS
I am Killtron, the scourge of the universe
You'll never stop me, hatred everlasting
I am Killtron, destroyer of all that exists
Will you join me, we will revel in nothingness
BRIDGE
From his back he produces an axe made of crystal
and a shield of armor composed of the same
I dispatch both his weapons with nuclear fire
trigger my lasers, prepare to take aim
my cunning adversary unpalms a dagger
and buries it into my ribs to the hilt
my claws on his spine, taste his blood as it shatters
we hurtle through space toward an asteroid belt
OLD CHORUS
Killtron; you would kill your creator?
Killtron; may you know your true power
