The Church Of...

We all seek for some form of structure in our heads
A thread to follow, something to live for when we stray from the path
I wish that you could see what you believe
makes you part of the same old scheme
A patchwork of your hopes and all your creeds
The words you whisper when you're on your knees
You open your throat, but your eyes are closed
I could have sworn you put yourself on a higher level than everyone else
We're running from the same dream
The one where we grow old and turn to stone
Feeling so alone
And trust me, I have been there
But I found peace by quitting to believe I'm worth more than you
The church of...
The church of...

In my head, a message of grief
We've been searching for relief
A kind reminder of the lurking end
Closed a chapter, lost a friend
We'll meet our end at the bottom of a well
We'll meet our end
We'll meet our end at the bottom of the well
We'll meet our end
I'm sick of trying to resurrect a feeling that hasn't been present in the past few years
And though I'm ready for a new beginning
Letting go was my biggest fear
When so long is the right reply
We'd rather die than say goodbye
But too many open doors leave a hole inside
We'll meet our end at the bottom of a well
We'll meet our end
We'll meet our end at the bottom of the well
We'll meet our end
When we try to close
We leave behind all those who we have known for many a year, I never wanted to go, but I can't stay here
Closed a chapter, lost a friend
Alright, alright. I don't wanna let it die
It leaves a question in my mind
Alright, alright. I don't wanna let it die
It leaves a question in my mind
I don't wanna let it die
It's easier to let it bleed than to burn these books with honesty
I won't let it get me (I won't let it get me)
I won't let it get me
It's easier to let it bleed than to burn these books with honesty
I won't let it get me (I won't let it get me)
I won't let it get me down
I don't wanna let it die

Where the Hangman Roams

This feeling eats your conscience
It will get worse by the passing day
Wishing you had seen the signs of a young soul just wasting away
And now you know that you could have stopped her
From fleeing from the pain that she was in
Does no one see the problem?
Is there anybody listening?
And she will always be afraid of the dark
And she will always be afraid of the dark
And she will always be afraid of the dark
And she will always
Yeah, no one saw it coming
It struck like lightning when the sky was bright
Does it numb the guilt when you comfort yourself with that lie?
An empty seat in an empty classroom, an old picture on a school hall screen
A void left by a failing system, you're no example but you could have been
And again the vultures circle around her room
In her little dark cocoon, she decayed
And they will be feasting soon, on her little dark cocoon
Fade away
And every morning she prayed she could just leave this world without a trace
That day her wish was granted, when her body met a screaming train
And now you'll never close an eye, knowing deep down inside
Saying you did what you could
That's just a lie
There's no heart where the hangman roams
She will not be saved
And you can watch while they're picking the corpses
Or you can say where the fuck you stand
It's not about cursing the things that happened
It's all about the loss we could prevent
She will not be saved
"I'm not the one you need, I'm not the one"

Ghost

I wanna kill the rats
Destroy the fucking nest
They built inside my aching heart
I'm sick of smoking fags
Just cause I feel depressed
I should have known this from the start
I don't wanna run and hide
From the rising tide
My hands are firmly locked again
Another day in bed
She drives me fucking mad
The parasite has found a host
No spine to support this weight
Left with jealousy and self-hate
So sick of feeling like a ghost.
I don't wanna run and hide
From the rising tide
My hands are firmly locked again
Around the key to my own cage
I am content with putting myself at second place for this madness
But the equilibrium swung past the point of no return
Won't let you victimize me, although my heart is bleeding black
I don't want the hours
I just want the pressure off my neck
Maybe I'm too naïve to know I'm not the only one
A fucking coward that's submissive to this Stockholm Syndrome
I can't fix this leak
Maybe I'm scared to show weakness to the ones that make me weak
I don't wanna run and hide
From the rising tide
I should have called you up again
I don't wanna run and hide
From the rising tide
But I'm a coward of a man
I don't wanna run and hide
From the rising tide
My hands are firmly locked again
Around the key to my own cage

I wasn't meant to perform well, but i've learned to live with flaws
Well I've got my heart in the right place so I guess that I'm not lost
Feeling bad for not meeting standards
Right now it don’t make sense
But back when I was a younger kid there was so fucking much to look up against
Try a different mask on, see just how it fits
But I don't really feel like the silhouette my mirror reflects
Nothing ever shaped me, empty as can be
The journey to find yourself is a journey to find inner peace
What if I don't learn from all of my mistakes
When everyone that knows me has a different perception of me
Still don't know who I am, still far from complete
We are a product of the people we love and the mark they leave
We're never done
Adjust yourself to acceptance, afraid that you'll sell me short
Before I fall asleep I wonder where this fear finds its source
I found my identity at the bottom of an ocean of lies
I'm growing tired and restless from never being the same guy
Stare at the light of the sun
You'll never be the only one
Stare at the light of the sun (repeat until blind)
