Rooster 03:42
lyrics
I wanted none of this But you gave it anyway Malefaction at its finest On a daily basis What made me a target Why did you decide To break out of your shell And sabotage mine Day in, day out I listened to you crow Who could do anything To stop this occurrence I have my five wits I was not blinded to Exactly what you were doing And you forced me to dissolve Insolent nigh-eve-it-Tay Don’t think I didn’t see Exactly what you meant Exactly what you did to me I suppose this experience Was not without gain I stood as an object lesson And disgraceful I remain What act did I commit That set your mind against me Did I instigate offense Or was I just an easy mark Food for the taking A hatchling in the nest That you stepped on So that you could fly How many days Did you force me to suffer Groveling on my knees Swallowing your vomit Why was I unable To stand up for myself I let you eviscerate me

Geriatricide 04:40
lyrics
You let her rot You locked her away Decades of kindness Erased in days When came the time To pay down the bill Instead you settled The slow blade to kill Reject the duty Circling the drain Psyche defective Can't kill the pain Wherever was The sacrifice Weight never lifted Can never suffice When the funeral comes Don't show your face You aren't worth it Leave no trace Persona non grata Garnished with spite Forfeited bonds When you took flight You sat in situ (sit oo) The others converged Time marching on A pattern emerged A sigh of relief Is that what you felt Since you discarded The hand you'd been dealt Was I a pawn Set on your board I had no say when You reached your accord I never asked I accepted the gift And as a bonus I got the short shrift When the funeral comes Don't show your face You aren't worth it Leave no trace Persona non grata Garnished with spite Forfeited bonds When you took flight You lack the grounds You can't make a case I seethe with rage At thought of your face Evidence banned Appeal denied Precedent set Since you never tried You lack the grounds You can't make a case I seethe with rage At thought of your face Evidence banned Appeal denied Precedent set Since you never tried When the funeral comes Don't show your face You aren't worth it Leave no trace Persona non grata Garnished with spite Forfeited bonds When you took flight

Moons of Mercury 02:33
lyrics

Your slanderous supernova Scalds my skin Siphon off my superego Surrender to my id You shrugged your shoulders Your past is anathema Did you even lack a heart During the half-hours you spent Tearing the teeth from your jaws Because it was expected of you Die to me Annihilate your benefactor Die to me Boil my blood beneath my skin Die to me Taste the pain I suffered Die to me Chaotic radiation Empirically observe Your angle of incidence You hardly did anything And somehow call the shots It all fits your narrative You conspired to steal What would be freely given

Darkness 03:48
lyrics

Darkness all I see Screaming all I hear Pain from all I touch The smell of death is creeping near The taste of salt from these burning flames Into the darkness I stare I was hoping to find you there Confessions of what we have done Burdens of a troubled son I still recall the circumstance It is branded on my mind When first it was, I saw your face Quite a trick for i am blind AS time wore on we wasted it Emotions dulled my soul Unable to read your signals, I dug myself his hole I filter out all common sense I cross this steet unaware, lost in the circus inside my head Overlooking the signals tat arent there I crave the completion of my soul for mere reciporication can someone, anyone exist for a man of my station if such exists it wont be you

Russian Roulette 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Russian roulette with a loaded gun! But no one's forcing me to play It's a choice I have to make When I wake Before I got to bed Do I want to keep going Or bury my sorrow Having it follow me around Hanging on my shoulder From the best days of my life to the death of a friend It's always there to drag me further down The emptiness is the only safe place Drowning Crying Out for Your hand Pull me Up from The edge This is not the way I wanted to live my life Suffocating on every word that is a cry out for help Not to bother or to seem like I just need attention My life is dangling on a thread It's like a game of Russian Roulette I never know when my time will come
