Lyrics

01. Blood of the Bison

Such a glorious time To burn this fruited plain ‘Cause this land is my land To manifest a carcass culture. Allegiance to the stain Fathers won’t wash away Murderous destiny Brothers will never change. Can you smell the stench From sea to shining sea? The bloody past begets our future This land was made for you and me. Allegiance to the stain Fathers won’t wash away Murderous destiny Brothers will never change. Harvest some extinction Ravaging tradition A human stampede. Allegiance to the stain Fathers won’t wash away Murderous destiny Brothers will never change.

02. Distortionist

Falling deep Into the chaos Caress me and Kill my purpose. Give up, give in To distortion Give up, give in. Ember to flame Flame to inferno. She vampires me Pangs of vertigo. Give up, give in To distortion. Give up, give in. Distraction Infection Diversion Distortion. She drives the Diversion of men. The poison flows Again and again. Give up, give in To the distortion. Give up, give in Distraction Infection Diversion Distortion.

03. Doris

Who are you? You’re not the person I Thought I knew. Was once so fond of you, but Now that’s through. Devotion breaks and it’s Sad but true This is disillusion. Maybe I made you Maybe you made me. What a shame The only thing we know are Divisive games. A raging fire is now is Burnt out flame. I’m jaded ‘Cause you’re Not the same The expectation kills me. Maybe I made you Maybe you made me. Once so gold The admiration for you Has grown old Replaced by resentment and It comes twofold. No resolution here, but I behold A true disintegration.

04. Beloved Oblivion

Mesmerized Greatest of ease Trading our sight For reveries. Desensitized Days burn away Caught in the snare Of deadly malaise. Hypnotized A primitive rouse By the language of fear We are imbued. Ash to ash Dust to dust Off in our beloved oblivion. Lay us down to sleep With blinding innocence We are but sheep In blissful ignorance. Ash to ash Dust to dust Lost in our beloved oblivion. Lay us down to sleep With blinding innocence We are but sheep In blissful ignorance. Ash to ash Dust to dust Dead in our beloved oblivion.

05. Another Stupid Song

This is just another Silly, irrelevant song. It means so much to share With my audience of one. Writing stupid songs for you To stir your drink to ‘Cause we are your rock stars Rocking out the dive bars. Time for the second verse I know you could care less So throw another one back As I plead for your indifference. Writing stupid songs for you To stir your drink to ‘Cause we are your rock stars Rocking out the dive bars. A jester amongst the fools It is such a lovely disregard But the show must go on We got an evening to kill. Writing stupid songs for you To stir your drink to ‘Cause we are your rock stars Rocking out the dive bars.

06. Mutually Assured Destruction

We just don’t see She’s building tragedy We just don’t see A blinding malady. Will this ever end The pins and needles. A delicate line we toe A fragile mess indeed At the end of the day Does the hurt wash away? Do we make things better? We just don’t hear Dull blades cut our ears. We just don’t hear Deaf with fear fear. Will this ever end The pins and needles. A delicate line to toe A fragile mess indeed At the end of the day Does the hurt go away? Do we make things better? We need to scream The silence is murder. We need to scream Because we love her. Will this ever end The pins and needles. A delicate line we toe A fragile mess indeed At the end of the day Does hurt fade away? Do we make things better

07 Dungeons

Just look at us And what we’ve become Strangers to what we were. We learned to be Vapid and faceless Found solace in surrender. Our lives are over When we say it’s over. It’s fine to pretend But who do we fool? Is this any way to truly live? Sewing the seeds Of doubt and regret Haunted by the what could have beens. Our lives are over When we say it’s over We once had a world of dreams But lost ourselves to the world of thieves. When we come to the end And all we can do is reflect Does time have a laugh at our expense? Just look at us And what we’ve become We made dungeons for ourselves. Our lives are over When we say it’s over We once had a world of dreams But lost ourselves to the world of thieves

08. Agony And Ecstacy

Instrumental

09. As You Wish

I live for you Belong to you You are my reason for being. Stifle Me Stunt my growth I want to give myself to you. Can you be my Occupation Break me down ‘til I’m numb I will be your Devoted slave Sacrifice everything for you. I tell myself Everything will be wonderful. I convince myself Everything will be so wonderful. Suffocate me Swallow me whole In return I’ll swallow my pride. Take the wheel Steer me blind I am your designated fool. Consume freedom Spit out your will I shall be at your beckon call. Faithfully mindless until the end Never question my affinity for you. I tell myself Everything will be wonderful. I convince myself Everything will be so wonderful. If you take my hand With your ravenous grip Would you poison me and turn Me upside down. If you take my hand Make me your prisoner Please bleed me dry so I Have nothing left to give. I tell myself Everything will be wonderful. I convince myself Everything will be so wonderful. Devouring autonomy Broken back assimilation Seduction retains the whip As paradise begins to burn. You set a trap Now I am caught At peace with the murderous web. My beloved Stealer of dreams I will give up on life for you.

10. Rid Me Of Misery

Sun burns cold today Just like the day before Wake up in dismay To wage my daily war. I need some salvation To mitigate the agony A little consolation Modicum of ecstasy. Will somebody Will someone Save me from my Misery. Save me from my Misery. Save me from my Misery. Save me from me. This is my very own Bane of existence I find myself alone With anchors of hinderance. If I do my best to scream Will I even make a sound? Nothing is what it seems The burdens abound. Will somebody Will someone Save me from my Misery. Save me from my Misery. Save me from my Misery. Save me from me. Sun burns cold today Just like the day before But I’ll find a better way ‘Cause I yearn for something more. I want to outlive the fight And destroy the fallacy Let darkness find the light Rid me of misery. Will somebody Will someone Save me from my Misery. Save me from my Misery. Save me from my Misery. Save me from me.
