I wanted to be in your life but your life was cut short How could I have known That in those final moments, As the line rang and rang and rang That you would never answer again Where did you go and why are you gone This house ain’t a home when there’s no one inside And my body is broken, my brains on the floor There’s grey matter splattered all over these walls Why am I shattered, at silence and tone Your apathy broke me and ground up my bones Im withered and tattered, my brackish skin cold The lines on my leather-like face paint ages, old Her silence is proof of a tarnished existence So far from the warmth of another’s embrace In spite of the distance, in spite of myself The death of a dream with a beautiful face I tried calling on the landline I tried, but you never answer As the paranoia finally sets in I refuse to live like this Instead of the line I’d rather be dead I tried, i tried, I tried, I tried Calling on the landline A sonorous voice like a bell in my mind I crave that sweet lilt so much I could die Her voice, her face Everything inside me Screaming for death’s sweet release Her silence is proof of a tarnished existence So far from the warmth of another’s embrace In spite of the distance, in spite of myself The death of a dream with a beautiful face I tried calling on the landline I tried, but you never answer As the paranoia finally sets in I refuse to live like this Instead of the line I’d rather be dead I tried, i tried, I tried, I tried Calling on the landline Hear my voice I’m right next to your face Screaming out For anyone to hear me (ANSWER ME) Hear my voice I’m right next to your face Screaming out your name Hear my voice I’m right next to your face Screaming out your name Hear my voice I’m right next to your face Screaming out For anyone to hear me I tried calling on the landline I tried, but you never answer As the paranoia finally sets in I refuse to live like this Instead of the line I’d rather be dead I tried, i tried, I tried, I tried Calling on the landline Hear my voice I’m right next to your face Screaming out For anyone to hear me Hear my voice I’m right next to your face Screaming out For anyone to hear me How could I have known That in those final moments, As the line rang and rang and rang That you would never answer again

Shattered, uncontested From your plague, to my heart I’m infested by these demons Searching for reasons For this treason And I’ve felt it from the start Surfacing beneath, a shadow in the deep Still yearning for a purpose No one deserves this Corrosion All I am to you Is broken A lonely soul Confused And lost I will overthrow And break the ice Distant thunder booming So confusing Just a design of your lust I knew I was lost Still I thought I could clear out the dust Somewhere underneath the surface Maybe with a purpose I do not deserve this Distortion All I am to you Is broken A lonely soul Confused And lost I will overthrow And break the ice We’ve grown to know All my thoughts collude Ticking with a fuse Combust I will rise above And break the ice that held our love My horrid shell is cold and dry I suffer now because I suffered then Now that this story has come to pass You’ll die beneath one final sunset We’re separated by the ticking of a turning bomb We consecrated hatred further than they’ll ever know This love that shatters hearts and wounds the ones who keep it low We’ll melt the ice with fires from the passion that we’ve both allowed to grow Break it down, break the ice And even loneliness itself will come to pass And even loneliness itself will come to pass All I am to you Is broken A lonely soul Confused And lost I will overthrow And break the ice We’ve grown to know All my thoughts collude Ticking with a fuse Combust I will rise above And break the ice that held our love

Staring straight ahead, their filthy eyes were stained with black They shook their heads, their teeth fell, cracked Emaciated souls with nothing to show For the thousands of years that they waited to atone Alone Drag them down to the depths of their own suffering Let them drown Let them bleed, from their gaping mouths Let them reap what they sow, Let them fall into the hole Of addiction to the hope Of a better world, a better life That requires zero effort And requires zero time And still they think That everything will be just fine When they’re suffering more than ever Because they know they’re not alright And the pastor calls them evil And the children cite their rhymes And man above’s disdainful Because he made sin a crime Drag them down to the depths of their own suffering Let them drown Let them bleed, from their gaping mouths Let them reap what they sow, Let them fall into the hole Of addiction to the hope Of a better world, a better life That requires zero effort And requires zero time And still they think That everything will be just fine When they’re suffering more than ever Because they know they’re not alright And the pastor calls them evil And the children cite their rhymes Any day now Any day now, but I’ve heard it every day How many days does it take? He even had the courtesy To tell us when it’d be Before a single one among them died And they knew that he was right Well they dropped like pious flies, And the multitude of generations passed into the night And he’s still not back And he won’t be back And if I’m so wrong How can you hear this track When a thousand years or more Failed apocalypse galore Think it makes me feel alive Just to watch your hopes die? I was lead to slaughter too And I’m trying to protect you All the years wasted on lies And the time you’ve left behind
