Vanna

Sleepwalker


her name is. horror. model. lifeless. hallowed.
and what she's doing. while no one's looking.
it's not just wrong. it's murder.
to everything i know is right.
i have to find it in myself.
to let her go.
but by the sounds of their disarray.

she's found. her way to the hearts.
of the good ones. left them blinded.
and trying on the floor. she's only started.
her sad triumphant march. and in the wake.
we are aching. wanting more.

inside of these. dreams you'll never wake from.
we're fading away. you're coming undone.
lay yourself down. i'll never let you wake up.

her ship will not be coming.
for the plans have gone all wrong.
what once held this body whole.
has been stripped to the bone.

when you get what you want.
show her the door.
don't let her stay.
don't let her keep walking.
with her heart in my hand.
i feel no remorse.
she was dead to begin with.
when you get what you want.
show her the door.

inside of these. dreams you'll never wake from.
we're fading away. you're coming undone.
lay yourself down. i'll never let you wake up.

i've been asleep while walking.
and it's gone on far too long.
this is my return to living.
and i'll keep what makes me strong.

if i could find it in myself.
to put her down. out of her goddamn misery.

when you get what you want.
show her the door.
don't let her stay.
don't let her keep walking.
with her heart in my hand.
i feel no remorse.
she was dead to begin.
when you get what you want.
show her the door.

Where We Are Now


I just can’t get the ending right.
I’m so desperate tonight.
It seems only right to let the shadows lead the way.
If I could only just decide.
To let go of my insides.
I know that I’ll never have to feel this way again.

And I’m caught in between.
My waking life and dreams .
Death’s just as lonely as before.
I still remember you when.

This is all too familiar now.
I know I’ve seen this place before. But I just don’t recall.
I don’t feel like I’m awake. But I’m not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?

They held us down.
But now we’re breaking loose.
We swore that we’d let nothing stand in our way.
And when I’m gone.
I will come back to haunt you.
I’ll still watch over you my love.

When you’re on your way to me.
Don’t forget the taste of me.
And don’t forget the feel of me.
With my arms around you.
Those memories will never fade.
Like all the promises we made.

This is all too familiar now.
I know I’ve seen this place before. But I just don’t recall.
I don’t feel like I’m awake. But I’m not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?

From below. The sun will rise.
And give us time to clear our heads.

The end is breathing down my neck.
Though hope is all that we have left.
The pain in understanding. Why we can’t take it all back.
It’s time to finally let go. Of everything we’ve known.

This is all too familiar now.
I know I’ve seen this place before. But I just don’t recall.
I don’t feel like I’m awake. But I’m not dreaming.
What was it that I came here for?

I swear I’ll find you before I drift away.

This is all too familiar now.
I know I’ve seen this place before. But I just don’t recall.
I don’t feel like I’m awake. But I’m not dreaming.
I don’t know where I’ll be drifting. When I finally let go.

Ten Arms


Don’t let this slip away.
Breathe it in. Hold it in.
You will miss it when it's gone.
You have so much to say.
So listen to yourself.

We are nothing. If we suffer alone.
Remember where you came from.

Will our hearts still beat in time.
Do we fear living our lives alone.
After everything is said and done.
Will you make it on your own.

After all the times.
That we’ve lost sleep.
Are you still trying.
Are you giving up on us.
I’ve yet to figure it out.
It’s something that I just don’t understand.
Are you giving up on us.

We’re losing reason. Keeping our hearts. Hidden.

We are nothing. If we suffer alone.
Remember where you came from.

Will our hearts still beat in time.
Do we fear living our lives alone.
After everything is said and done.
You will make it on your own.

After all the times.
That we’ve lost sleep.
Are you still trying.
Are you giving up on us.
I've yet to figure it out.
It’s something that I just don’t understand.
Are you giving up.
Are you giving up on us.

This withered silence. Is making me sick.
You have one chance. You’re making me sick.
You have one chance. Don’t let us slip away.
Open your hands. Revel in promises.
Of living forever. Of living for today.
But we are nothing. If we suffer alone.
We are nothing. If we suffer alone.
If we suffer alone. We could have it all.

Life And Limb


In the name of a woman. Standing anxious at a window.
Counting waves to see. Our letters wash up.
Swearing us safe. Cut through the night.
Close your eyes. And ride the wind.

Into the depths. Her flowing beauty.
Never said what would become of us.
A truth too great for concern.
She wore her heart. Like a blood red stain.
On the chest of a velvet gown.
Thrown bare at the mouth of hell.

And all the grace. That she gave to the world.
Comes down tonight. Comes down tonight.
So we share. Our frozen gaze. An assuring bond.
To carry on. To carry on.

We’ll never be the same. No we’ll never be the same.

Home becomes our sun. breaking the horizon.
Like a spotlight to tired eyes.
Brilliant as the sun. breaking the horizon.
Like a spotlight to tired eyes.

So we lit the sails. And cast ourselves in.

To the searching eyes. We were a wreck.
A sight for miles. A scene to break.
A thousand hearts. If on ashes. We wash ashore.
Then by the sea we are spared.
We are spared and pure.

Into the depths. Her flowing beauty.
Never said what would become of us.
A truth too great for concern.
She wore her heart. Like a blood red stain.
On the chest of a velvet gown.
Thrown bare at the mouth of hell.

Never forget. The fury of a well aimed promise.

We’ll never be the same. No we’ll never be the same.

The Sun Sets Here


Stay on your feet.
Don’t stop. Don’t stop till you get to me.
These are just parts that we play.
Quiet colors in quiet places.

But keep your eyes open wide.
The moment becomes the prize.
Before you know it.
You’re running hand in hand in rapture.
Keep your eyes open wide.
The moment becomes the prize.
Make your way to me.
We are invincible. Tonight.

Morning never meant. More of a reason.
To feel alive. To feel this.
Breath in the sunset. I want to feel this.
Running through my veins.
We own the sky. We own the sky.
We are invincible tonight.

We are looking back.
On everything we used to be.
But you’re still grabbing on.
Holding close to me.
I’ve spent long nights awake.
Worrying about you.
Cause I know how hard it is for you. To feel alive.

Please tell me. Please tell me.
How to live this moment.
Hard enough to feel it.
How to love every second.
Like I’ll never need a second.
Like I’ll never need a second again.

We are looking back.
On everything we used to be.
But you’re still grabbing on.
Holding close to me.
I’ve spent long nights awake.
Worrying about you.
Cause I know how hard it is for you. To feel alive again.

I’ve always said that I’m not good at putting feelings into words.
But I’m still here. And in the morning. I’ll be holding you.
Close to me. The sun will shine.

Lost And Bound


The sky blacks out.
Blacks out, blacks out.

I wake up in the sand again,
Face down, choking on my life.
I begin to put back all the pieces of last night,
But then I realize I don't know where I have been.

Is this a place, is this a time?
Is this a place, is this a time?
Or has this lost boy finally lost his mind?
Is this a place, is this a time?
Is this a place, is this a time?
Or am I chasing a dream that was never mine?

Nevermind.

Just settle down in to the sand,
We'll sit here holding onto the night.
The sky blacks out, followed by dawn,
Till morning comes to finish us off.

I watched you fade away.

Blacks out, blacks out.
Where did the daylight go?
Blacks out, blacks out.

Out up ahead a light,
That shines through this haze,
That once turned the night into days.
We've lost our way again,
But we'll keep moving until sleep.
We've lost our way again,
But we'll keep moving until sleep.
I'm falling down again,
Just can't keep myself on my feet.

Just can't keep myself on my feet.

Just settle down in to the sand,
We'll sit here holding onto the night.
The sky blacks out, followed by dawn,
Till morning comes to finish us off.

This is the letting go,
This isn't what was meant to be.
This is the moving on,
This is the end of you and me.
Here is to letting go.

Sending Vessels


I've seen the future,
And the future is smoke.
A shroud of ghost encompass,
A cloud of doubt on which to choke.

My mind's so clouded
In this life of distress.
Don't sink with me,
Don't sink with me.
I'm an awful wreck.

Just pull me out,
Take me away from all this.
This is the last chance I have
To not end up dead.

So just give me the chance,
To find another moment,
Where passion stemmed out from the start,
And carried to the sky,
Where we lived our lives,
With honest hearts.
Honest hearts.
I think we're losing sight of
What this is all about.
Impossible to settle now.
We're fading in the background.

So fade out,
Back to the shadows from which you came.
Leave me alone on the pier.
For now it's the only place that keeps me sane.

I've seen too many skies,
To let them pass me by.
I've lived too many lives,
To watch myself die.
I've seen too many skies,
To let them pass me by.
I've lived too many lives,
To watch myself die.
Watch myself die.

So send this vessel out to sea.
I'm not the ship I used to be.

Passerby


I've carried this out for way to long.
I'm sick of singing these tragic songs.

It's been days since I could open up my eyes.
Open up my eyes.
Every waking moment's another passing by.
Passing by.

I'm left stranded on my own again.
Empty handed, in need of amends.
Broken, battered, abused my friend,
Or could you not recall that name?
Pretend, that you ever shared a world with me.
I feel like I'm living the dying dream,
The one where you wake up with me.
Pull the covers up with no light to see.

Is this all I have to say
About anything anymore?
I'm just trying to keep myself on my feet,
Keep living in the consciousness of this.

Live with this.
I have to die from it.
How could you live like this?
Live like this.
This is my take back, this is my final mark.
I'm not this useless person,
I'm not this tired lonely fuck.

Every moment spent is just another of regret.
Different words could be said,
With our spirits lifted.
When every night spent,
Couldn't make a dent.
Another passerby.
Is this all I have to say
About anything anymore?
I'm just trying to keep myself on my feet,
Keep living in the consciousness of this.

Is this all I have anymore?
I'm holding myself up.
I'm just trying to keep myself on my feet,
Keep living in the consciousness of this.

I'll pull myself out.
Out of the wreckage of my life.
I'll hold myself up,
Over dark and horrid skies.
I'll pull myself out.
Out of the wreckage of my life.
I'll hold myself up,
Over dark and horrid skies.
When every night spent,
We couldn't make a dent.
When every night spent,
Another passerby.

Dead Language


As her insides screaming, let me out
She speaks as if someone's in the room with her
(Someone sits quietly on the ceiling tile)
Still facing the corner with eyes gouged out
These tears of blood fall, for blood is all she's crying now

Her heart beats on
She's just not, giving up yet
Though blinded by the devil's touch
She rises above him

(She rises above)

She races towards the light
Her heart beats on
(She stares death straight in the face, her heart beats on)
These tears of blood fall, for blood is all she's crying now

As he cuts into her chest
Her heart beats on
She's just not giving up yet
Though blinded by the devil's touch
She rises above him
(Rise above)
She floats towards the light
{as} the darkness recedes
(Let me out, let me live again)
In this most desperate hour (she cries)
This desperate hour...

In this crowded room
In this crowded room
In this crowded room
With an empty view
In this crowded room

Save your goodbyes, cause we all know it's not the end
Save your goodbyes, cause we all know it's not the end
Save your goodbyes, cause we all know it's not the end
Save your goodbyes, cause we all know it's not the end

Trashmouth


"Don't panic," she said, "just hold tight,
To the sky my love. We're the lonely ones."
We are the lonely ones.
I'm sure that there will be no sleep tonight.
So I'll just keep filling up my lungs.

Save for a few long nights,
And a slow dance with a bad idea.
I've never been more buried in trouble,
Than the day that I met you.

Motherfucking yeah.

You know I've always said,
Your mistakes are something you can't forget.
And when your past comes back around,
You gotta face it.

How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you wrong?
How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you wrong?

You know I've always said,
Your mistakes are something you can't forget.
And when your past comes back around.
You gotta face it.

How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you wrong?
How could it feel so right,
When I'm doing you...

All of the lines we cross,
Are blurring into one big fucking mess.

Black Bones


Blessed with this curse
curse of knowing
why I'm here
who to step on and who to fear
let me make myself clear
hands stop me
and wind won't sway me
they'll be the guide and forever take me
lift me up to where I belong
head high and moving on, and on and on
one swift move and
I'm out of your way
no rest for you here
no room here to stay
stare at the face of determination
gaze into perfection
I, won't be stopped
I, want the ground to give way
the horizon to break
I, want the mountains removed
swallow the sea with it too
I, want the ground to give way
the horizon to break
want the ground to give way
the horizon to break
want the mountains removed
swallow the sea with it too
I will consume you
forgiveness has all been used
I will consume you
your future has been removed
so please forgive me
as I sing this song
and with the slight of hand
you'll be moving along
oh don't get me wrong
did I leave you
broken and used
desperate now
oh I confuse
this is the sound of taking control
this is you and your letting go
your presence here will not be missed
you won't live through this
I am
I am the
I am
I am the end
you won't survive me
I am
I am the
I am
I am the end
you won't survive me
I am
I am the
I am
I am the end
you won't survive me
I am
I am the
I am
I am the end
you won't survive me

I, The Remover


I speak for generations (sing on)
Sick of procrastination (sing on)
History as an open wound (sing on)
Burn it down, lets start a new

So many times I've wrote down
And yet I still stumble to the ground
Do they know I'm here, do they hear the sound
Of bleeding out loud?

Dig up the earth beneath my feet
Remove the ground tell me what you see
A heart that calls for sincerity
You know you hear this, our final plea

And now the chorus sounds
He’s bleeding out he's bleeding out

A funeral for dead at heart (sing on)
Dead wrong right from the start (sing on)
But is it me, foot in the grave (sing on)
No time for feeling brave

So think back to the start
Did we have our chance, or did they pull us apart?
Are words, a thing of the past?
Don't let them have the last, no!

Dig up the earth beneath my feet
Remove the ground tell me what you see
A heart that calls for sincerity
You know you hear this, our final plea

We are the voice of a thousand, sing on, sing on
To the skies, bring down the heavens, sing on, sing on

We are the voice of a thousand
And you will hear our song!

Dig up the earth beneath my feet
We are the voice of a thousand strong
A heart that calls for sincerity
We are the voice of a thousand strong

Dig up the earth beneath my feet
We are the voice of a thousand strong
A heart that calls for sincerity

So let the chorus sound

History On Repeat


can you still hear my voice
through the wind
and through the rain
it's looks like
I won't get
the chance to
say this again
you should run
you should hide
you should put yourself
in your pride
no one listened
no one cared
no one heard my words so prepare
seas will dry up
the air will fail
and everyone's heart will become stale
nobody nobody knows
the hell you've brought upon yourselves
you must accept
the end is here
to heavy to carry it all on my shoulders
I'm being crushed by the weight of it all
I don't have enough in me
to hold the weight of the world
time will end
clocks will cease
history repeat and repeat
let's say, that today
you're the reason, it ends this way
the earth stood still
refusing to take its turn
the earth stood still
stopping here and here we all burn
the earth stood still
laying here deciding death for its worth
the earth stood still
discovering life's endless curse

Breathing At The Bottom


Last day of light
and I'm wondering
how will the darkness creep in
or why it didn't
over throw me sooner than this
have you ever seen a man broken, and used
Broken, broken and used
They call that the blackout blues
we call that the blackout blues
There are night it speaks to me
from some place deep inside
when darkness overcomes a common man
in a place, where even innocence can't hide
You can keep your setting suns
I need the night and the shadow to come
Hold your hope and pity in hand
This time alone I'll stand
I've lost everything
still I'm wondering
is this the end
I'm lost in everything
still I'm wondering
is this the end (this is the end)
This is the end
all my days
have turned to night
I have turned my face from the light
there is no coming back from this
there is no
place that I will find rest
You can keep your setting suns
I need the night and the shadow to come
Hold your hope and pity in hand
This time alone I'll stand
hang my head for a final time
gasp the air I say goodbye
to the bottom, I keep no friends
as I get lower to my end
I've seen rock bottom and I've gone on through
these dying eyes have seen death a time or two
have you ever seen a man so broken and used
I've got the blackout blues
I've got the blackout blues
blackout blues
lights are fading out
lights are fading
lights are fading out
rest, deceased.

Scarlet Shroud


Does Death divide us all by light
the same way as the day decides the night
is darkness just where it begins
as I get closer does blindness set in
does death divide us all by light
are we buried beneath the ocean
or have the bodies we once had
all turned to dust
does Death divide us all by light
the same way as the day decides the night
is darkness just where it begins
as I get closer does blindness set in
look into these hollow eyes
I've seen the dead come alive
I've seen the dead come alive
the dead come alive
Forgive this face
for goodness sakes
what else could I do, this is my fate
if finding death is happiness
well then my friend wish me the best
bring me your bones
bring me your bones
let them be my own
If finding death is happiness
well then my friend wish me the best
bring me your bones
bring me your bones
and let them be my own

Silver Sun


Couldn't stay buried you understand
What good am I as a dead man
I started cursing death from the mouth
So just spit me out
Revival blood bath
Sing it out loud
I'm the great last hope
For the entire world
Dug my way out of the earth
Time to rise, reclaim my worth

Searching for a reason to live again
We're moving forward
And the lives we lead are ours to keep
Searching for a reason in everything
We're moving forward and we'll find our way

Destroy
Destroy rebuild and take control
Destroy rebuild and take control
Oh I'm back to take you underground
Drag you into the hell I found
Once was lost and I still feel bound
Hands like a noose I'll drag you down
Revival blood bath
Sing it out loud
I'm the great last hope
For the god damn world

Searching for a reason to live again
We're moving forward
And the lives we lead are ours to keep
Searching for a reason in everything
We're moving forward and we'll find our way

Once was lost and I still feel bound
Hands like a noose I'll drag you down
Destroy
Destroy rebuild and take control
Drag you down into the hell I've found

, The Collector


Hell is empty
they're surrounding us here
back from the grave
for better or for
worse you'd say
without remorse
I am alive and
and living out
living out my curse
living my curse
I will never breathe life again
death is my only friend
I'm the devil
that makes this hell
will you survive
no man could tell
In my hand
I hold the world (I am death)
a stage for all (the collector of life)
life stories told
when you die what
will be yours (I am death)
a trail of lies that will never be heard
(the collector)
my words decay
with every single
breath I take
so breathe it in
in hopes to ruin
your lungs from within
I am death collector of life
I am revenge
the thief in the night
I am death collector of life
I am revenge
the thief in the night
the thief in the night
In my hand
I hold the world
a stage for all
life stories told
when you die what
will be yours
a trail of lies that will never be heard
living my curse

Careless Men Lead Careless Lives


I surround myself with the living
as they all play dead
I wish you could know
what I see inside my head
Look through eyes that
see through lies knowing
that there is no peace
for men who break the
hearts that take their
careless love to keep
while you're
playing god with beggars and thieves
on their knees
I'll be spreading treason through your
ranks with ease
town by town and
street by street no
rest no sleep
how many wolves do
I need to kill
till I find sheep
God damn I want to leave it all behind
erase all the memories from my mind
leave nothing but a trail of fucking dead
don't look back at me look straight ahead
town by town and
street by street
no rest no sleep
how many wolves
will I kill
till I find sheep
if you seen one then
you've seen them all
oh how the wicked fall
God damn I want to leave it all behind
erase all the memories from my mind
leave nothing but a trail of fucking dead
don't look back at me look straight ahead
look straight ahead

Eyes Like The Tides


As I get closer
closer to the light
closer to the light
my eyes burn blind
black and white
black and white
I can see the light
burning bright
my eyes can see the light
It's like waiting to die
while feeling alive for the first time
watching everything just pass you by
I can feel it in my bones
I can feel it in my bones
can you feel it in your own
one last glimpse through
through hollow rounds
illuminate
and fill with sound
and now these eyes
are burning bright
black and white
black and white
It's like waiting to die
while feeling alive for the first time
watching everything just pass you by
everything pass you by
you feel my eyes
like you feel the sea
my heart is here
and it's all I need
you feel my eyes
like you feel the tides
my heart is here
awake alive
breathe
breathe in me
breathe
speak friend
revived again

White Light


Oh I'm waiting
in the calm before the storm
for the tides to turn and wash me away
oh debating the last time we felt warm
we've always turned a cold shoulder
to the blinding white light
where I know I'm not alone
gravity pulled me out here
to the reaching skyline
where men look for their rest
to my knees I drop at last
with worn out hands I
present them to the sky
only to feel your guiding light
to the blinding white light
where I know I'm not alone
gravity pulled me out here
to the blinding white light
where I know I'm not alone
gravity pulled me out here
maybe I can call this home
so many lights flickered black
yet you've refused to burn out like that
so to my true north
I let my body fade
and there I will live out
the rest of my days
for you have come and saved
brought the lost back
so you will remain here
and I'll fade I'll fade to black
and I'll fade
I'll fade to black
we all fade
we all fade to black
to the blinding white light
where I know I'm not alone
gravity pulled me out here
to the blinding white light
where I know I'm not alone
gravity pulled me out here
maybe I can call this home
you are the white light
we fade to black
you are the white light
we fade
we fade to black
