Never Enough 05:18
Look at the love that you cast down I would stop dreaming but you’ve cast your spell Bathed in red, in crimson light Screamed at your ghost all through the night Guard the eyes that catch on me Hit the ones that fall beneath When you rise in the sound When you move me around Take the vision I gave you It is never enough, it is never enough Live in the ashes of the underground Pray for your mercy there to be found The words repeated, the age the same I crave to worship when I speak your name Guard the eyes that catch on me Hit the ones that fall beneath When you rise in the sound When you move me around Take the vision I gave you It is never enough, it is never enough

I don’t feel well But I rarely do In my human shell Watch it fade and bloom Just a skin cell It’s your prison too Till that funeral bell Rings high o’er you Can you see the light? Can you see the light? It’s a lonely hell We’re born into Since that angel fell Making dark moves Oh the death knell Coming for a fool With no soul to sell It’s a bitter truth Can you see the light? Can you see the light? We’ll all live in the silver lining Drink champagne with the gun resigning All we are and all we’ll be Will all come as we’re divining See that spirit dwell With the striking view Got an urge to quell Before you even knew Watch your body swell Nothing to soothe Swear to never tell Never mind pursue Can you see the light? Can you see the light? We’ll all live in the silver lining Drink champagne with the gun resigning All we are and all we’ll be Will all come as we’re divining

Ash & Coal 02:53
You are the keeper of my time You are the taster of my soul You are the holder of my mind You are the giver of the coal You're the twisted back on bended knee Blackened lighthouse no one can see Trace the ash upon my head And pray that one of us is dead You are the owner of my lies You are the lover of my woes You are the killer of faith in kind You are the reaper of what you've sown You're the twisted back on bended knee Blackened lighthouse no one can see Trace the ash upon my head And pray that one of us is dead

Your absence speaks louder than words You split my lips apart and your tongue breaks my heart Finding my breath, aching slowly in my chest Each battle is a war, bells rung for the death toll Your heart is cold, but your hands are warm You've loved me twice, but I'll never learn My wrists are tied and my throat is sore Daylight is gone, but the night is yours Your silence not golden, more painted blood red In the hollow of my ears, same as all the years Straining for the sound of you coming back around Prostrated in your room, quiet like a tomb Your heart is cold, but your hands are warm You've loved me twice, but I'll never learn My wrists are tied and my throat is sore Daylight is gone, but the night is yours Your kindness isn't charming anymore Each word leaves a sting even when you don't mean a thing Nothing has changed while you give yourself away I'll just pretend it will still be me in the end Your heart is cold, but your hands are warm You've loved me twice, but I'll never learn My wrists are tied and my throat is sore Daylight is gone, but the night is yours

The One 04:15
Hold on, I can’t take All that you will bring Hold back, that last kiss I’ll take one more swing Say what you will I won’t be the one Say what you want I can’t be the one Come on, I won’t stay For what we can’t be Come back, one more kiss Keep that part of me Say what you will I won’t be the one Say what you want I can’t be the one

Is this what you want? Hands tied behind my head Dressed all up in red Doing what I'm told Til the blood runs cold Holding on to metal, metal holding on to me Never really asking you to ever set me free Is this what you want? To writhe where devils tread Form circles 'round that ancient bed Like a familiar painted gold Moved to sing of fortunes old Like a specter, like a ghost, with an elegant pose Falling down to the ground, to the ground Is this what you want? Should I be something else? Should I be someone else? Slaves to the growing need Down on our broken knees Is this what you want? Left to hang on by a thread Til the silvered word I've said Our dignity bought, our dignity sold Til repetition takes its hold It will never be enough, it will always be too much When it drops from grasp, from hand, from clutch, from grasp, from hand Is this what you want? Should I be something else? Should I be someone else? Slaves to the growing need Down on our broken knees

I’ve hypnotized and mesmerized But you can’t seem to see All the shame, you’re to blame Every time I leave I don’t want anyone but you No surprise, I can’t describe How you make me feel You only came to stoke the flame Show me what’s still real I don’t want anyone but you I don’t want, I don’t want Anyone, anyone but you I don’t want, I don’t want Anyone, anyone but you I don’t want anyone but you Anytime, every time Held against my will So unkind, but so divine Always worth the kill I don’t want anyone but you Your only prize, I can’t disguise All you let me be So in love, shadows above Baby, you're so mean But I don’t want anyone but you I don’t want, I don’t want Anyone, anyone but you I don’t want, I don’t want Anyone, anyone but you I don’t want anyone but you After all this time, the reasons why I come to get my fill Unholy drug, my sacred love Swallowed every pill Cause I don't want anyone but you I don’t want, I don’t want Anyone, anyone but you I don’t want, I don’t want Anyone, anyone but you I don’t want anyone but you

Bruises 03:21
Oh, I love when I find The bruises you’ve left behind Living like a blood kiss From the mouth grips and vessel rips Give to me your marks Something I can keep Something that goes deep After you’ve taken your leave Oh, I love when I see The scratches you have made on me Dragged long and angry and red Like the monster your fingernails fed Give to me your marks Something I can keep Something that goes deep After you’ve taken your leave

Are you close to heaven? Or just near the end? Are you high and touching light? Or just your resting bed? Are you finding water's edge? Or just floating up? May I take your picture, love? Or do you need it all? I want to hang you like the stars in the sky I want to burn you like a funeral pyre I want to drain you like a bottle of gin I want to kill you like my favorite sin Are you a dusty skeleton? Or has your skin just gone? Can I watch you smoke alone? Til the morning comes? Are you living in the night? Or just wasting days? Can I take you home, love? To live beside old ways? I want to hang you like the stars in the sky I want to burn you like a funeral pyre I want to drain you like a bottle of gin I want to kill you like my favorite sin What do you see When you’re far away from me What do you see When you’re far away from me I want to hang you like the stars in the sky I want to burn you like a funeral pyre I want to drain you like a bottle of gin I want to kill you like my favorite sin

Down To None 05:54
Be still Don’t move They know Who you’re talking to In death Cold arms Please stop Sound the alarm Pulsing sounds In my ears They tally up What’s left of my years After all It’s down to none The time I have left Is not yet done Kept still Can’t move My eyes Can’t hold on to you All around Cold breath Silent vow Found in the depths Pulsing sounds In my ears They tally up What’s left of my years After all It’s down to none The time I have left Is not yet done
