Sitting across from each other
we have nothing to talk about
there's a void between us
and the sorrow is so deep inside of me
Rest of us, crushed under a stone we could end up hating each other
and tell there would be nothing to tell I know this silence would injure us
we live in foreing bodies prisoners of sick relationships let's pretend we are sad about that
but the truth is we don't care enough
How difficult it is to know someone?
We want to let loose after all
but let go and trust is a dangerous thing so we die constantly without talking
it's like a terrible lullaby
the harp strums a weird dirge
stare at me with empty eyes
we got empty hands too
can hardly offer our feelings
cause the grief is turning into danger
we are only able to shout
and disappeared without saying a word
is that what we are?
Empty, rotten bodies and minds
nothing to tell
Empty, rotten bodies and minds

Verse 1
On the table opened wide Donʼt know if Iʼll survive
The shrapnel burns inside me I feel Iʼm leaving my body
This is what you wanted right? First to land and first to fight? Is it all worth it now?
Youʼre barely breathing
Chorus
My flesh is rotten Loss of all innocence Becoming malevolent
Its all by design
Verse 2
Better now in body, not mind
Visions canʼt be erased by time
Take these pills and wash them down Donʼt you feel better now?
Slowly leaving behind your back Sick of watching you go black
On your own no lifelines left
Its your choice what happens next
Chorus 2
My mind is rotten Loss of all innocence I am malevolent
Am I alive?
Erased inside
Its all by design - Lets go!
Bridge
I made my choice today
I wonʼt let my life fade away
Its not for them, no compromise I WILL RISE
I made my choice today
I donʼt need your love anyway
I barely see through bloodshot eyes but Iʼll SURVIVE
Am I alive? Erased inside.
Chorus 3
I have forgotten Regained my innocence Guarding streets
...in the sky
All by design

Washed in Blood (W.I.B.)

Verse 1
The blood and the pain are all the same to me I see the end in looking in your eyes
The innocence of just a few
Like a drop of blood in an ocean
All my faith in me
Has been washed in blood
I see the visions of the horns In the wind and in the blood In the skin and in the air Drop of blood or broken skin
Pre-Chorus
All my faith in me
Has been washed in blood Has been washed in blood
Chorus
This sky is like sunshine
In the death
The sun is scarlet in the shape of a circle The meat the blood and all things in between And we falling down
Verse 2
As a child it scared me to death And as a priest I tried to pray For this part in my own mind
It is your curse, it is your pain And we falling down
I see the visions of the horns In the wind and in the blood In the skin and in the air Drop of blood or broken skin
Bridge
We tear them open, we repair them
We destroy in blood or feel defeat

Verse 1
I live my life no sorrow. Lets do it now...FUCK TOMORROW
Ive stared into the depths a thousand times in my life The levels never swirled and sucked me down so low
How can I be made to decide the fate of someones body, their mind and their soul?
Pre chorus
Never wanted to be
The one who would choose Left with no end
How can you stand before me , one thats had all taken? And nod like you understand
(sense of darkness is expanding)
Chorus
There is no compromise
See the darkness in the eyes Forgotten faces time has kept Memories and tears no-one has wept
Verse 2
I canʼt imagine, living, breathing, silence, feeding, Just pull the plug and be damned
Why would you make me suffer?
I wonʼt let you, I canʼt
Iʼd want the blackness to chant
Bridge
No-one leaves unscathed
I wonʼt let it define me
Iʼll live my life no pain or sorrow
You and your feelings and fuck tomorrow
No-one leaves unscathed
So many times for years Iʼve begged To be taken back to your death bed
I wouldnʼt want to pull the plug again
Chorus/Outro
There is no comprise
See the darkness in my eyes A last chance at life
Was no chance at life
