Oblivion, she calls to me
Cloaks me in darkness, wraps me in her cold embrace
Patch me together piece by piece
Power overwhelming, feel it flowing through my veins
When we dance we swing, twisting, turning to the melody
Hearts beating in sync, too infatuated to stop the bleeding
I can feel the pulse of her ravenous form, she calls to me
Take me under your wing
All hail her blackened majesty
Take me under your wing
All will hail her blackened majesty
Take me under your wing
Darkness falls, baleful night
Shadow dancers, we step in time
Darkness falls, baleful night
Shadow dancers, we step in time
Take me under your wing

Deny Me

I can hear the clockwork humming, the gears turning inside of your skull
I wanna reach in and pull out whatever keeps that pretty little head of yours on your shoulders
So I can rest these bloodshot eyes, and take back my long lost peace of mind.
It's been too long, the colors are fading out
Don’t deny me, I need your healing
That peace and serenity that you hold so dearly
Can you hear the gears? They’re grinding. Bones crush beneath cogs of rust
The constant headache that’s always around me, help me understand what goes on inside
So I can rest these bloodshot eyes, and take back my long lost peace of mind.
It's been too long, the colors are fading out
So Don’t deny me, I need your healing
That peace and serenity that you hold so dearly
Don’t deny me
Please help me find a solution, cause every day is just another confusion
I hope we find a way out of this nonsense, sick of feeling overwhelmed, under accomplished
Don’t deny me, I need your healing
That peace and serenity, that you hold so dearly

Jumping out of my skin
Resting on needles and pins
Lined like teeth, pressing into my chest
Spit me out, and devour the rest
It eats away at my mind
Crawls its way under my skin
A rash I can’t help but itch
Always on the edge, I'm breaking down
Always on edge, I'm breaking down again
I breathe the air of determination, everlasting
It eats away, It eats away
It eats away at my mind
Crawls its way under my skin
Jumping out of my skin
Resting on needles and pins
Lined like teeth, they’re pressing into my chest
Jumping out of my skin
Resting on needles and pins
Lined like teeth, they’re pressing into my chest
Eyes are bloodshot and my hands are shaking
Sweating bullets and my heart is racing
Spit me out, devour the rest
Spit me out, devour
Always on edge, I'm breaking down again
I breathe the air of determination, everlasting
Jumping out of my skin
Resting on needles and pins
Iron maiden clamp down on my chest
Puncture my lungs, leave me like the rest
Iron maiden please free me from this
High-strung surgical moment of bliss
Fuck these crutches of mine
Dependency never what I had in mind
Curse this life and cross out my eyes
Those who cannot see deserve to be blind
27 reasons why we all should just quit
27 feelings saying fuck this shit
27 needles pointed at my head
27 pins sticking out of my bed
27 reasons why you never should start
27 times that it’s broken my heart
54 lungs that are black as the best
27 still killing most of my friends
Fuck these crutches of mine
Dependency never what I had in mind

Pull me under the waves, so that I can finally breathe again
Six feet too shallow a grave; bury me, pull me under the waves
Deluge washes away
I’ve been praying for rain
Skies cast the world in grey
We ignite the torch, you douse the flame
Waves crash upon the shore, I am a burden
Fleeting feelings of lust; it was never worth it
It was never worth an ounce of my time
I am a burden
Rays of the sun
Dried up the ocean
Waves crash no more
This drought you’ve wrought
Upon yourself
I’ll be lost in the waves again
I won’t reach for your hand
Never again will I be drawing lines in the sand
Waves crash upon the shore, I am a burden
Fleeting feelings of lust; it was never worth it
PULL ME UNDER
Pull me under the waves, so that I can finally breathe again
Six feet too shallow a grave; bury me at sea, pull me under the waves
Deluge washes away
I’ve been praying for rain
Skies cast the world in grey
We ignite the torch, you douse the flame

Hellfire rages from above
As the ocean is swelling on the shore
Can you feel it coming down?
It falls like rain.
Burns the skin, erodes the ground
And we’ll call it an act of god
We’re surrounded by disasters
We’ve been burning at both ends
They'll be sifting through the ashes
Once the final suns have set
Can you feel it coming down?
It falls like rain.
Burns the skin, erodes the ground
And we’ll call it an act of god
We split the earth for oil
We drained it like the sea
We burned the fossil fuels
We cut down all the trees
We poisoned the air that we breathe
The sun is beating down, it hasn’t rained for days
All the crops are dead and dried out, to the farmer’s shame
This dam’s not holding up, I think it’s gonna break
The river’s overflowing, the city is going to sink
We split the earth for oil
We drained it like the sea
We burned the fossil fuels
We cut down all the trees
We poisoned the air that we breathe
We’re surrounded by disasters
We’ve been burning at both ends
They'll be sifting through the ashes
Once the final suns have set
High tide, high time the moon pulls the ocean to meet the sky
New bloom, at high noon the sun melts the earth in a fiery plume
Let’s start the whole thing over
Rebuild it all from scratch
Find myself a way to mars
And I’m never coming back

From the heavens a river flows into the soil, into the earth itself
From the soil, water meets with the roots, let the roots grow into great canopies
If you listen closely, you can hear the trees speaking, whispering stories
Stories of all the heavens above, and the river from which all life breathes
The mother tree, she weeps in silence
Her children wilting in the wake of giants
The ever-opening event horizon
Signal flares ignite the riots
Chaos always holds you the tightest
Few will find salvation or clarity
Only those who hold their peace will truly feel gravity
The time has come, the seed has blossomed
The roots reach down, unearth the fossils
The roots reach deep down
Geomancy; lift the ground
You won’t let me down
Geomancy; lift the ground
I know you can feel it now
Geomancy; lift the ground
You won’t let me down
Geomancy; lift the ground
Mother tree, life you enlighten
Chaos always holds you the tightest
Few will find salvation or clarity
Only those who hold their peace will truly feel gravity
A burst of life in brilliant color
To cleanse the land of hatred and squalor
Mother tree, life you enlighten
The stag leaps across the sky

Eyes all around me, nothing escapes
Their echoing voices, their endless gaze
Paralyzed, I watch my body rise
Into a fluorescent mist
The walls are closing in, the walls are closing in
And I can’t feel a thing
Gravity pulls at my skin, gravity pulls at my skin
And I can’t feel a thing
Eyes all around me, nothing escapes
Their echoing voices, their endless gaze
In the end, there is no light
There is no darkness
This void is endless.
It all comes down to this
I watch my body dissolve
Into a fluorescent mist
The walls are closing in, the walls are closing in
And I can’t feel a thing
Gravity pulls at my skin, gravity pulls at my skin
And I can’t feel a thing
Eyes all around me, nothing escapes
Their echoing voices, their endless gaze
In the end there is no light
There is no darkness
Only blinding static
