I am looking for the man I am searching for him Does he want to find me Hidden in the trees never been seen Dark hair that blends through the night Lonely all throughout his life Cryptid dreams I'm stuck in reality And I am left to wonder What you see when you're full of wonder You're a fool to all the others When they see the things you ponder

Yr Song 05:32
Pass the torch to my open hand So I can feel the pleasure of a man Pass the torch to my open hand I’ll close my eyes and find peace again But I can’t see any breath in me I’ll sail away Pass the torch to my open hand I’ll turn back time and find peace again Open sores make me close my hand I’ll stab my heart Call myself a man Lightning strikes white fades to gray I’ll sail away You are so beautiful

Could it be psychological? Could it be inside of me? Is it just a reality in my mind? Am I the only one to see it clearly? Am I the only one to see it clearly?

Pain 04:23
You want me to die You want me to hurt inside You want to watch me burn slowly You want me, but you hate my guts You can't hurt me I know pain You can't hurt me I know pain I know pain I know pain Spin me round and round Hang me upside down I know pain I know pain Nail my hands to a cross I know pain Push it hard make it soft I know pain I know pain You want me to die You want me to hurt inside You want to watch me burn slowly You want me, but you hate my guts You can't hurt me I know pain You can't hurt me I know pain I know pain I know pain Pain Pain Pain Pain

The Gate 06:23
Don’t come knocking There is nothing here to meet your hand Lay your body down beneath the floor I’ll place a crown upon your head Pull me down upon your throne As your heart sinks in hopeful silence I hear a voice Somebody jumped the gate Down your shouting There is no one here to count you out Move your feet across the floor tonight I want to see you turn round, round, round, round Take my hand I’ll dip you down As tears run cold down your chest I hear a voice Somebody jumped the gate I hope it’s not too late I hope it’s not too late to close the gate I hope it’s not too late I hope it’s not too late for you to change Your fate
6.
Familial 02:22
Obligated hug with no meaning Artificial smile as a greeting My barriers are filled with the blood that connects us Constant disappointment in fulfilling the generational expectations The closeness puts a distance between us Familial resentment, a constant diagnosis A lifetime of stress because that's the way you brought into the world Repeated behaviors Doin' what Mommy and Daddy did
7.
S.R.A 04:45
I need to find an escape Sleeping with one eye open till you're in a coffin You'll never know till the devil comes knocking at your door Who is safe Who can you trust in this world They want to take, take it all away Put me in a white cotton dress, I need an escape I need to find an escape
8.
Crystal 03:44
ou make me want to eat your face In the streets, in the bay I need it Crystal where are you? I've been crying out your name She's so pretty Lend me your hand Five months everyday, sweet Naomi Crystal where are you? I've been crying out your name Out in Oregon, way past the trees Is where I think she's been hiding Last I heard she ran to Tennessee Pack up everything and leave Crystal where are you? I've been crying out your name Crystal, crystal where are you hiding?
9.
Leather 03:00
Leather Infatuation Admiration I want to breath you in Like a flower I want to feel your leather Leather
10.
Let me drink from the waterfall that pours from your cave I starve for the forbidden fruit from your brain You've got blood on your hands I want yours You've got blood on your hands I want yours You've got blood on your hands I want yours You've got blood on your hands I want yours
11.
Look into the eyes of the beholder, who you don't want to cross Don't look away Strike your eyes down upon me Strike your eyes down so I can see
12.
The present lies in your wake The future cries in your silence Flush descent I’m choked by your blindness Your blissful lack of compassion Your low pointed eye Hands at your side Your self righteous smile Your self righteous smile I heard you live in calm protected water
13.
Instrumental 03:05
My lips burn I don’t get spit on your crutch Something on my mind I can’t get rid of it My lips burn Can’t get this out of my throat Put my head down I’m sick of it
14.
Spiral 05:06
I can take you to a place, you've never been to before You'd say it's not real, but it's just in your mind Do you want to come inside? I'll show you around Just don't take your eyes off of what's in front of you Am I in a dream, or is the world really like this? It's just a dream I can't escape the chains of my own prison I can't escape the chains of my own prison I can't escape the chains of my own prison I can't escape the chains of my own prison
