OLD WOUNDS
I wear them proud, I wear them true
DIVIDES
I'll drink myself
dead
Before I drink myself stupid
My skin I will shed
Like a snake, I will lose it
Don't lie down before the eyes of God
You won't be judged, like me, upon the cross
The martyrs, liars and the righteous clan (With blood on their hands)
Take from me, and give nothing back
A tower built, but not built to last
Take from me, now I'm losing track
A tower built, on broken glass
Divides, between me and you
I wear my heart on my sleeve
While yours is hidden from view
Divides, between me and you
Take me instead
She's really not worth it
Careful where you tread
I don't boast, no, I prove it
Nightmares come to life and bleed to black
The darkest corners of my Cadillac
I touch your face beneath the red strip light (I'll make it alright)
Take from me, and give nothing back
A tower built, but not built to last
Take from me, now I'm losing track
A tower built, on broken glass
I should accept, the divides we already made
Before the foundations were laid
Before the boundaries were set
And the dirt washed away by the rain
Before I drink myself stupid
My skin I will shed
Like a snake, I will lose it
Don't lie down before the eyes of God
You won't be judged, like me, upon the cross
The martyrs, liars and the righteous clan (With blood on their hands)
Take from me, and give nothing back
A tower built, but not built to last
Take from me, now I'm losing track
A tower built, on broken glass
Divides, between me and you
I wear my heart on my sleeve
While yours is hidden from view
Divides, between me and you
Take me instead
She's really not worth it
Careful where you tread
I don't boast, no, I prove it
Nightmares come to life and bleed to black
The darkest corners of my Cadillac
I touch your face beneath the red strip light (I'll make it alright)
Take from me, and give nothing back
A tower built, but not built to last
Take from me, now I'm losing track
A tower built, on broken glass
I should accept, the divides we already made
Before the foundations were laid
Before the boundaries were set
And the dirt washed away by the rain
MEDICINE
I made
the most of what I had
Even
what's forced into my hands
And when
I land that parting blow
I won't
forgive you, no I won't
Contaminated
from within
Forgive
me mother, for I have sinned
And now
I can't take it all back
A
twisted mind, a heart attack
Can't
say I didn't try
I'd give
it all, I'd even give an eye
I'd cast
you out, into the night
With
this fist of steel and this fist of might
Can’t
stop, I’m going mad
I gave
to you all that I ever had
And now
I can't take it all back
A twisted
mind, a heart attack
Take my
hand, help me make it out
Take my
hand, help me make it out
A pill,
a syringe, there's no doubt
A pill,
a syringe, there's no doubt
You are
the answers, to all my questions
You are
my medicine, my medicine
You are
the vaccine, for my sickness
You are
my medicine, my medicine
I can
see through the smoke
Beneath
the black and through your cloak
I am the
one who's seen the light
You are
the truth and you are the guide
Hold me
back or I'll cross the line
You help
me see when I'm going blind
Cleanse
my soul of all my sins
And help
me let go of everything
Can't
say I didn't try
Beyond
the grave, beneath the broken sky
The dead
leaves and the ashes grey
There’s warrior
I cannot slay
An old
wound, an infection
The
mirror’s edge, a reflection
Cleanse
my soul of all my sins
And help
me let go of everything
Take my
hand, help me make it out
Take my
hand, help me make it out
A pill,
a syringe, there's no doubt
A pill,
a syringe, there's no doubt
You are
the answers, to all my questions
You are
my medicine, my medicine
You are the
vaccine, for my sickness
You are
my medicine, my medicine
(x2)
Reduce
me, to a memory
Now
you're gone, I know you're all I need
(x2)
It rages
on, from deep within
But she
holds on to the way we were
(x2)
It rages
on, from deep within
She
holds on to the way we were
(x2)
It rages
on, from deep within
I hold
on to the way we were
(x2)
TELEKINESIS
Step up,
you're better than this
Cross
off a name from the top of your list
Step up;
you're not better than me
I may
have lost my mind, but not my dignity
Got
voices in my head, you'll never understand
They
tell me they rely on me, they tell me what they've planned
A power
given to me, or did I take it from your hand?
These
binds won't hold me, no they won't, I'm making my last stand
You've
got it wrong, did all along
From the
bottom of my lungs to where you aim your gun
You've
got it right, convinced by the edge of a knife
I'm not
satisfied; hold onto your head like the grip of a vice
I can
play dead, paint the walls with red
I can
burrow like a worm into the back of your head
Stay
there on the ground, be still don't make a sound
The
slightest noise from you I won't allow
I can
move mountains with my mind
I can do
anything, I won't break my stride
I can
split the ground in half, don't ask me why
I can
part oceans with a flicker of the eye
Your
skull grows bright and hot, singes hair and skin
Cracks
like a light bulb, when I signal it caves in
I pull
out your spine like a root from the dry earth
And I'll
break your neck like paper chains, but I'll disembowel you first
You've
got it wrong, did all along
From the
bottom of my lungs to where you aim your gun
You've
got it right, convinced by the edge of a knife
I'm not
satisfied; hold onto your head like the grip of a vice
I can
play dead, paint the walls with red
I can
burrow like a worm into the back of your head
Stay
there on the ground, be still don't make a sound
The
slightest noise from you I won't allow
I can
move mountains with my mind
I can do
anything, I won't break my stride
I can
split the ground in half, don't ask me why
I can
part oceans with a flicker of the eye
I am a
constellation, a cluster of distant stars
I am
that feeling you get when danger isn't far
Smoke on
the horizon, yeah, it threatens with a curse
Smother
me, baby please, you better call the nurse
I am a
constellation of distant stars (x2)
BURIED
AT SEA
Oh, as I decompose, I wonder what waits for me beyond
I guess I’ll never know
Oh, as my body falls apart, I wonder if I’ll see your face again
I guess I’ll never know, I’ll never know
Pitch black, carve out my eyes
When I get out of here I’ll eat you alive
Once lost, you’ll never find
A floating coffin holds me trapped inside
I gave it all, it was never enough
Even when this ship started to flood
You should have jumped when I told you to
Left me here behind, to rot, to face the truth
And what I never knew, is that I suffocated long ago
I won’t see the sun again, I’ll never leave this tomb
Never leave this tomb
The rope around my wrists itches and burns
I’m different to you, I guess I’ll never learn
Ghouls of the mind come thick and fast
I regret that day, I regret my past
What did I do so wrong?
A priest didn’t even send me on my way
A prayer or two, that would have done
It would have been enough for me to say
I’ve had my time and done my best
My heart goes on inside my chest
But now I can’t leave this world
Not without gold, diamonds and pearls
And what I never knew, is that I suffocated long ago
I won’t see the sun again, I’ll never leave this tomb
I wish I would have known, before you ever betrayed me
Did you place a rose upon this box?
Did you bury me at sea?
Did you bury me at sea?
Bury me at sea (x4)
