Pure
(2002)
|
| Remain |
No Words Left |
Unlike those that reserve
tears for themselves
Obsessing over scars from
the few times they fell
Will your tears fade when
seasons change
Wash away in wind and rain?
Or can you stand, when the
tide grows
To watch them simply exponate?
Those in shadows where ice
remains
Weeks after the rest melts
away
Have grown strong enough,
with backs to the sun,
To survive even the brightest
of days.
Do my words confirm what
my tone infers?
Can you feel us drawing
power
Or shall I just scream louder?
The truly weathered don’t
grovel for attention
They watch the self-pitying
with growing repulsion
We will survive. |
Take a stand for what’s
inside
You’ve gotta stand and speak
your mind
No matter who is on your
side
Take a stand for what you
know is right
(Chorus)
Take action today
Before it’s too late
Speak your mind today
Before it’s too late
Take action today
Or you’ll have no words
to say
Speak your mind today
Before it’s too late
Get up and fight for what’s
inside,
Get up and fight for what
you know is right
Take action today |
| Strength in Solitude |
Death By Chocolate |
A dangerous breed
Mixing nostalgia with sexuality
Instilling insecurties,
demanding dependency.
Seed spread through TV
Subconscious trained through
magazines.
Fight codependency
Look inside to find what
you need.
Be comfortable with yourself
Be fine to stand by yourself
Don’t surround yourself
with hollow peers
Cause culture warns of lonely
tears
Incessant longing is a sickening
mindset
Incessant longing is a sickening
Self imposed mindset |
Death by Chocolate
Chocolate!
Walking through the store
today
About to be blown away.
Ice cream would be my death.
A case of death by chocolate.
Chocolate!
Death by Chocolate! |
| Forsaken Self |
Midnight Sunrise |
I’m through mouthing words
I don’t dare to speak.
Victim of refusal; fall
so weak.
Willingly infected—painfully
purged.
Ignoring repercussions,
this pain is earned.
Now the skin’s so thick.
Shut and shun the quixotic
Of the time crossed ground
Where your eyes dart down.
Acceptance in discomfort;
Should have never expected
more.
Never again to long ideally
for what’s left in store.
By the time you feel it
coming,
It’s already swallowed you
But that’s alright.
You’re done being a burden.
Burden. (4x)
My forsaken self. |
An eerie luminance breaks
dark tranquility.
A mockingbird of daybreak
pierces eyelids.
Wind provokes catastrophe.
Fireflies in the air.
Glowing—burning—pulsing—purging.
A phoenix at the price of
ashes.
Injustices never repaid.
Lives sift into ashes.
The flawless crumble. |

Shelter
|
Reopen My Wounds
|
Roots of your shell
Stemming form pain
Pain from which your memory
is stained
Shut yourself off from the
rest
Live your life with no regrets
Blame is your shelter from
the storm
Sheltered life keeps you
warm
But I’ve come to tear that
away
(chorus) Shelter
Your fate is sealed
You’ve made your choice
My birth is the end of you
existence |
Looks of disgust strain
on my back
They cant break me, I give
them no slack
Our society shuns individuality
False strength in conformity
(Chorus) When time heals
my wounds, I reopen them
Without concern for fellow
man
Never to make your stand
Cultural loathing, followers
seek
In the end the strong break
the weak
Avoid my bleeding eyes
Ignore my desperate cries
Beneath you my blood forms
a stream
Turn your back on me while
I scream |
|
Restrain Me
|
Into The Red
|
Who the fuck you think you
are?
Pull, straight though, leave
the scar
Who the fuck you think you
are?
Look at me, see my scar
Whatcha want from me?
Pull it straight though
me
Try to restrain me
Whatcha want from me?
(Chorus) Holding me down
Restrain me |
Everyday I see
Shun away from me
Unspoken poisons seep
Though my blood stream
Uncontrollable
Thoughts fill my head
Close my eyes and slip
Into the red
(Chorus) Slip into the red
Ripping like a plague
Strengthened day by day
My soul torn in two
Comfort lost in you
Uncontrollable
Thoughts fill my head
Close my eyes and slip
Into the red
Dont try to break me down
I’ll lash back at you |
