Angel 07:40
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

Inebriator 05:29
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

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) (soloutro)

Libra 05:27
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 OUTRO I'm not your scapegoat My life is my own

Lead Balloon 04:09
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

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
