Idle Eyes

Standing alone, in a riverbed, to soak my head
and it's unknown, what the day will bring me, I forgive thee,
stare at the clouds, as your blood runs thin, I fear I've sinned,
laugh at loud at the sound of silence, forgive my violence,
forget my violence,
I am not violent!
It's no surprise that I idolize your idle eyes
please look away for your own sake do as I say
CHORUS
I'm flawed by design, I'm designed to die
I will live my life then fall towards the sky
I will not revelate when I meet the maker
this I do for you, please God take her
The good book states that it is our fate
to procreate
but those who live a life of sin
his will I begin
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Ingrained in a circle of light
your eyes can keep me holding on
Believe in the sanctity, holding me
beneath the dying light
Disbelieve the insanity has captured me
beneath the umbra
Disbelieve the insanity
Disbelieve the insanity
Disbelieve the insanity
Try to find the light

Signs of Digging

Here a dead man lies...
engraved inscription,
reads rest in peace
At the time of death,
he screamed from his chest,
that dead man's me...
CHORUS
You always bring me down
sinking, like a stone
and down is where I belong,
for always..
BRIDGE
I hope my brain subsides
encased in a landslide
like a tomb,
Indecisions denied
the odds that I'll survive
I'm falling
I'm falling
CHORUS
Me myself and I,
we have fallen in,
buried alive
And beneath my smile,
I can feel no shame
for killing me

When I drift off in my bed,
theres visions of you in my head,
flying.. around me...
The sight of you it makes me yearn,
I reach for you, hard to discern,
trying to.... astound me...
Hold my breath , close my eyes to see,
I wish this was reality,
dying to... surround me...
CHORUS
In my dreams your there
when I wake the tear
in my heart with bleed
2x
Sleeping beauty please don't abuse me
these feelings oh so confusing
crying, howling
The sight of you I toss and turn
where I lay I start to burn
dying, drowning,
CHORUS
I'm shallow of breath you make me choke
I hold my side
the pain you evoke
CHORUS

In your body
it will feel right
somethings calling
you can't explain it
and you've waited
for your whole life
for the darkness
to come undone
she was eighteen
barely legal
never lonely
but always alone
CHORUS
alone...alone...
alone...alone...
she's crying herself
asleep at night
she can't figure out
why nothing is right
alone... alone...
under her mind
matter and soul
there is nothing
waiting to enlist
and you doubted
it's existence
yet you hold it
against your skin
and the louder
that you scream it
never lonely
but always alone
CHORUS
Dare I
Sleep tonite
for I fear
Death is near
2X
......sleep
CHORUS
