Empty Eyes

Empty Eyes

Empty eyes harbor rivers of tears 
Formed from the endless nights of loathing screaming crying out for someone to hear  
Sink into the sheets 
Drown inside the bed 
Doubt's a bird of prey 
That nests inside my head 

Move

So what's the point of praying if the voices say I'm fine?  
Tell me what's the point of running if i can't escape my mind? 
The mouth of God was sewn shut 
Or I've been living as a deaf man 
I've drowned him out 
The mouth of God was sewn shut

Livid

You’ve got it all backwards, 
And upside down
Don’t see a problem when a youth is lying face down
In a puddle of blood, a concrete cemetery (cemetery)
I’ve wondered, I’ve pondered what he could have been thinking, 
Before they filled his back with lead
A deadly portrait was painted, black and blue with a splash of red

Livid 

You think that this is your world and we’re just living in it 
So sick of the nonsense spilling from your mouth 
You’re finished 
Last round, knocked down, lights out 
Good riddance 
God knows i'm livid 

Hands up if you wanna catch a bullet, 
Get on the ground, get on the ground and 
Beg for your life (beg for your life)
No peace, no truth
No shame, aim and shoot
No rights, no apologies 
Dead to rights,  born to bleed
Break the oath you swore, 
If I'm the bull, you’re the matador
With blood on your hands and fear in your heart, 
I swear I'll rip you apart
  
We're all gonna go blind if we can't see eye to eye
We're all gonna go blind if we can't see eye to eye

Livid 

You think that this is your world and we’re just living in it 
So sick of the nonsense spilling from your mouth 
You’re finished 
Last round, knocked down, lights out 
Good riddance 
God knows i'm livid 

(No use in seeking justice
It always ends up the same) 
No use in seeking justice
It always ends up the same
(No justice, no justice) 
The odds are stacked against the victim, 
Always taking the blame
No one’s perfect, 
But you’re far from innocent
Live life colorblind, 
Or reap the consequence: 
Hell on earth. 

Livid 

Livid 

With blood on your hands and fear in your heart, 
I swear I'll rip you apart.

Wormtongue

Let go 
Dropped from the highest of heights by the ones I trusted the most 
Where do you go when you surrender your soul and it’s torn to pieces? 
So cold 
The hate that you hold, shown through slanderous words 
Always under attack, knife in my back, and you watch as I bleed, fading slowly   

Spin your web of lies, 
Shove your words down my throat until I suffocate 
Can anyone hear me? I’m down below 
Cast into the unknown
I apologize, 
For anything I’ve done, I’m not the only one 
Who holds the blame 
Yet you curse my name

Putrid filth falls from your mouth as others lay in wait, accepting their rations 
The rumors, the hearsay spread like wildfire 
Wormtongue, spare me the kiss of betrayal, do what you came for (Matt. 26:50) 
Hoping one day to see my downfall

I see a wolf dressed up in sheepskin; 
Waiting for the sun to set before it closes in; 
The coward dares to wear a crown; 
Tell me to kneel but I won’t bow down 

Spin your web of lies, 
Shove your words down my throat until I suffocate 
Can anyone hear me? I’m down below 
Cast into the unknown
I apologize, 
For anything I’ve done, I’m not the only one 
Who holds the blame 
Yet you curse my name

Wormtongue
Your kingdom will rot

Before You Leave

Tell me are you happy now 
Watching this house that we built together burn to the ground? 
Dance in the ashes of my casket, 
Spill my blood on the floor, 
Dwell in the rafters of my home, 
But leave your heart at the door

Her drug, my medicine 
Get addicted, ripped to shreds, and swallowed whole 
The comedown is heavy, weighs down on my back
Wallow in the wake of years lost

So much time wasted on a better self
How can I be better without any help? 

Embrace the dark 
Watch me sink, let me suffer in silence 
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like you.
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like 
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like 

Stay with me a little longer, 
Before you leave, spend some time at the bottom with me
Brooding by moonlight
While I shiver in the cold 
Alone. 
My body responds to the weather, 
My dread for each day grows and grows
If I smile, knock all my teeth out, because I’m faking it

Yeah it feels like I’m falling, 
But I've already hit the floor
Your body is my temple, 
My sin that I’ll answer for
Push and pull, yes and no, 
Tooth to flesh, nail to bone
You undress, I unfold

Embrace the dark, 
Watch me sink, let me suffer in silence 
The serpent in my dreams looks a lot like you 

Dance upon my ashes 
Dance upon my ashes 
Your burden no longer
Erase me as I have erased you. 
l’ll find better weather with somebody new
