Red Moon

So tell me who are you, that I must bow so low?
You cannot stand so high above while I look up from below
I will overcome, I will defeat for all that I fall on my knees
For all that I tremble, for all that I fall on my knees
When the white sun sets
And the red moon rises
Who do the wolves howl to then?
Under the shade of the red moonlight
I'm lost, so lost I feel like I'm blind
I fear this night, I fear my endeavours
Because this night is so dark and full of terrors
How can one search a soul?
A question filled entity, I just don't know
How can one search my soul?
A clouded mind is no place to grow
And I'm still searching
I’m searching, always searching
Inside my mind till I find
What I'm looking for
When the mind and the soul are a synonym
How do you stop the other from breaking in?
I'm left just a hollow shell
With an anxious mind my soul starts to melt
So tell me how you stop it all breaking in
On my journey inside to find my true mind
I learned I'm not like the rest of you
My mind and my soul is a single road
Travel straight and I'll find my way home
I'm now the king of this game
My mind is not one to shape and contort
I now know, the bounds that you play
Your mind and your soul is just a road
That's shaped like a fork.
In the shade of the red moon
How can you follow a twisted road?

Burn Me Brightly

When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east
When the ocean runs dry, and the mountains blow in the wind like leaves
That’s when you’re coming back to me
And it’s all done, at least I know in my heart that I’m alive
When it’s all done, you gotta look from the start
What you did was right
The burning in my head is nothing compared to the fire outside
The burning in my heart was a wildfire started from out of my mind
And you lit the flames, we can’t keep burning on and on
But I’m the one to blame, so tell me where the fuck did I go wrong?
You used to bring me home
I found comfort in the cold
I never want to feel your fire
I’ll keep moving on
Winter’s come and Summer’s gone
You've broken down my burning home
I know in my heart
That I'm alive
An interpersonal collide
A battle of stubborn minds
When you need to give everything that's left
But nothing that's right
If you take anything from these lines
You could repay it all in kind
But to be left alone
I know what it feels like
Give me give me what's right
I'll wait through the night
I know I won't know what's left
We've left the fire to burn out
The ashes leave nothing I recognize
I don't wanna to hear from you
And I never wanna to see your face
Put my foot on the ground and turn away
It's as if I'm the only one who's ever been lost
How could you know what I mean?
How could I ever trust you?
You promised you'd never leave
Where are you now?
You won't set me free
I see the end of my defeat
Break the skies apart
You won't set me free
The sun bursts the clouds
And I've never seen so clearly
My demons exist
But you’re no god and you can't save me
Give me some integrity give, me some room to breathe
Break me out of this tragedy
In the blink of an eye
You've taken me
Before I fade away
You won't set me free

Soldiers
03:36

We're just silent mouths
With big egos and bigger words
This endless fight, is so absurd
So act your age
We're just silent mouths
In a room full of shouting voices
If only you could see my face
We're fighting for a better place in this world
Must we climb over each other like ladders?
We're warriors without a war
Fighting on and on to settle the score
And it's breaking me down
How can I even bring myself to look at you?
How could something so petty make me fall?
Like a heap of dry leaves
I'm falling over and over again
Collapse like towers
How could this make me fall?
Foot soldiers marching to our own rampant heartbeats
Eyes blood red with rage for a means that we created
We're all warriors without a war
Always fighting, with nothing more to say
So open fire in the air and tell me what you're fighting for
Foot soldiers marching blind
We’re warriors without a war
What the fuck are we fighting for?
Warriors without a war

Monsters

Have you found what you're looking for?
If you still search, it's all been said and so there's nothing more
But it's not the end
In life we still endure hell
Demons live and breathe amongst us
What people say is how you can tell
Morality is just another term for eternity
We are defined by it and live it right here, right now
You say we'll burn in hell
Your heart lights the flames
And if I see you there,
Then you're the one to blame
So search inside and tell me what you find
Sift through broken bones and other things I’ll never know
I know what I want to see
But to ask might be too bold
Where is evil if not within?
It's no longer a matter of the Devil and God
"Monsters" do the good deeds and “Saints” do evil things
My world is one of confliction
A jungle wasteland, beyond description
I see angels sharpen their pitchforks
For the greater good, no cost and no remorse
And I search inside unsure what I'll find
Be it dust and stone, or a broken down soul
All I ever wanted you to see was a heart made of gold
But it's broken

Angry Ghosts
03:27

These days there are angry ghosts all around us
Dead from wars, sickness, starvation and nobody cares.
So why should we care about you?
I hear the world cry out
Why can't I silence the screams?
I'm a powerless soul
You can't save what you don't know
I was always under a curse
But so is the whole god damn world
Why should you care about me?
No one cares about me
How do I beat these ghosts?
I've been left to die and to find a new home
But I don't know what feels worse
No one cares about me
Help me to beat this curse
I've been fed nothing but lies
Nothing to help me learn
And nothing you say can convince me
So where do I go?
I'll scream at the top of my lungs
I can't go back to my empty home
I'm terrified that I'm going blind
Well it's a sad and lonely world
Where the living fear the dead, with all things considered
We’ll end up in the same place
But I followed the God damn rules
How am I in such a lonely state with all the angry ghosts in this place?
And I have to say is
"Thank you and good bye"
Draw us to the bigger picture
There's nothing said of this in their scripture
With such an easy choice at hand
Between the sides of good and bad
Why would you care about us?
No one cares about us

Dust & The Rust
02:22
|

You reap what you sow
No negativity
Keep your head down
To save anonymity
Don't speak up, don't fall out of place
An outspoken voice can be such a disgrace
So what the fuck did you think?
That you could walk in so easy?
Take my place and I'd give it up freely?
We'll it's a sad realization
That your existence is a complication
But I can't even stand the thought
That your soul was so easily be bought
And where does that leave us?
Left behind in the dust and rust
To learn a thing or two about life
First, you've got to learn about trust
And where the fuck does that leave me?
With nothing gained and more doubt to believe
Friends come far and few in this world
You've thrown out all you'll ever earn
You won't be missed
Well that's fine because you found success
Talent like you deserves every shred
You won't be missed
Everything gained from lies and deceit
Your visions crooked from the crown on your head
I can't even look at you
Save myself from the blinding rage
Don't even think to speak to me
You're nothing but a history page
