Devour

Is there something that you want to say
I hear you sometimes in a whispered name
Forging the shadows to survive this midnight
I’m hiding from time and the false sense of light

Are we walking backwards into our future
Longing for a past multiplied by three
Are we bleeding life and painting pictures
What we promise is make believe
All along you were as blind as me

Is there somewhere that we can go
I’ll find you somehow and then I’ll know
Forgetting the times that once were clear
I lost my innocence the more you came near

Are you in between the clouds
Are you coming for us now
What you promised I can’t be
All along we live to deceive

All along you were as blind as me
What we promise is so obscene
I think I defeated you but now I’m not sure
I thought I needed you now I’m so impure

I’m haunted by these feelings that I can see
And tainted by the colors for which I bleed
Here I am your living consequence
The result of love betraying innocence

Killing time will not slay the hour
Are you a victim
Do you hold the power
Killing time will not slay the hour

The sun will rise one day to devour
Killing time will not slay the hour
The sun will rise only to devour
Killing time will not slay the hour

Killing time will not slay the hour
Are you a victim
Do you hold the power
Killing time will not slay the hour
The sun will rise only to devour
Killing time will not slay your hour

Internally Invisible

Flesh cut open the internally invisible
Minds now swollen externally divisible
This is the nature of our times
To what will be the nature of our time

Verbal triggers in the switchblade romance
Silent pictures of our lustful last dance
We do to ourselves what we do to the other
There is no separation between father and mother
The chief spun the web for all to see
The thief denies the thread between land and sea

The commotion of our heart
The madness of our mind
That was the nature of our start
What’s that ticking – Time to rewind

In retrospect they win
In the future they’ve already lost
It’s people they sacrifice
At any and all cost

Now is the time for breaking past these lies
They only keep us chained to our lustful losing sides
Right now are those days for shedding how we hide
The facades keep us playing for the lifeless losing sides

The shadows or the substance
which do you desire – which do you acquire
Slaying life – I’m on the run
Slaying life – But it’s so fun

Swollen windows and sightless eyes
Stain-glassed mirrors – Reflection dies
