Only in Death

Feel 02:32
lyrics
i try to shatter my insecurity i can’t breathe kill these feelings they choke me i've suffocated my will, while my wick burns at both ends anyone who shows interest passes through my hands grains of sand build i find myself buried under the pressure pressure to fulfill, to love, to sacrifice unable to open myself to the possibility i remain locked with no key no entrance i am trapped bound to this feeling i can't describe never giving myself to anyone feelings of nothingness leave me blank how can i feel nothing how can i know how anything feels at all my final expression will be my lack of expression as you reach, i let go i become the nothing that i feel i beg for feeling i beg for love a freezing soul never to be warmed never to be held

Three Thousand 02:10
lyrics
every second you live 3000 are lost every breath you take is their last murder seen as necessity life exists to live, their death is unnecessary human silence, we allow this agony bloodlust has created industry commodified murder boundless human greed separate what we don't need sacrifice your comfort denounce your vanity there is no difference why kill just to eat why kill to live if i could be the loss to end it all i would sacrifice myself in reverence, to see the end mankind must pay by the end of this song 393,000 animals have died an unjust death by the hands of those who uphold a tradition of bloodlust. those who see murder in a light of necessity and continuation, fail to see the lives they are destroying and the accessible alternatives to preserving the lives of all innocent animals who have no voice. we must speak for them. we must be the end of their suffering. it is abuse, it is rape, it is a horrible existence filled with pain and suffering that you can stop. it is no longer time to ignore or deny. you cannot excuse yourself any longer. for the animals, go vegan

It's Forever, Now 02:12
lyrics
my world has died, i can’t pass over yet watching forever, tears on your headstone black feathers, broken wings black shadows, i still hear her screams is this resurrection, is this life after death vengeance sought through the eyes of love the eyes of revenge see all i am guided by love the bullet’s loaded with hate i take life from those who took my life from me i am complete and total madness i am retribution, i am fear stealing flowers from other’s graves to rest upon yours remember when you said "mine?" and i said "forever" you said "only forever?" it's forever, now tears or endless streaks of rain it can't rain all the time

Validity 02:13
lyrics
is validity only a word fractured in my head a sequence of errors produced this identity coding wired to the wrong bones heart functioning at half capacity binary repetition constructs this mold solitary, confined to this cord keystrokes can be bullet holes shot through users interface created within a system born into a body machine produced identity machine produced standard die with no expression invalid, nothing can compute invalid, nothing can transfer fluidity null to equation contained in prefabrication can validation equate to meaning can the wires wrap around the heart so tightly it might burst nerve endings severed these wires have torn into my heart these boundaries have dug into my skin

Sentience 04:06
lyrics
cold complacent gaze awaiting affirmation bleeding out their wounds engraving humanity’s headstone break the fingers of man's calloused hands let loose the grip of dominion everflowing greed saps willingness escape this trance, dreams of idealism act against sorrow, vanity, and complacency to sacrifice, to action reclamation of a birthright reclamation by any means risen through trials of inhumanity i choose my destiny, i choose action in a world of death i state my life in your world of fantasy, reality must strike anger is a weapon, outrage is compassion if we do something, now is the time if we do something, another will follow they’re dying, let it end with us no longer time to ignore or deny i state their life through liberation this world of death let it end with us

(Your Silence is Killing Me) 01:45

The Will of Fire 03:08
lyrics
detest these flames only to be swallowed by them whole convict yourself to a dying world and you will die with it i have exhausted my tolerance i vow discipline, abstain from your institution a product of your world that promotes injustice advertised with violence and abuse this is how you corrupt minds to think pushing society's life of poison relief every life taken by your product every grave filled with your relief every life shattered by intoxication convict yourself to die by the hands of this fate i will purge myself in flames the will of fire burns on this is my statement, my life, no compromise sealed by this blood commitment branded flesh for hate has burned it fear is outweighed by this rage, this burning hatred i stand in reprisal of this world mark for mark, fire with fire everlasting vengeance rests in my blood i will spill every drop for my convictions the razors that cut, the fire that burns my blood, my flesh all for my convictions in protest of this world, straight edge the will of fire cleanses
8.
Poisoned 01:46
lyrics
from hand to mouth you've poisoned from your own hand to the mouth of your children you’ve poisoned your own blood you want this world to burn burn with it, you’re poison this poison consumption disgusts me capitalization of suffering murdering free thinking industry shackles society lick the blade, drink your own blood can’t you see you’re killing yourself the violence in me reflects the violence that surrounds me this life is poison, this is a protest

Only in Death 03:01
lyrics
why thrive in happiness why be filled with warmth freezing negates all feeling emptiness never to be filled no one is real nothing is real motions, actions i see through every motive forged selfishness leads you every action taken is littered with motives nothing is sacred nothing is taken in time everything thrives in suffering everyone is at a loss at such a loss i hope this world never wakes me lulled to sleep one final time praying my heart stops beating until something gives me a reason to live how many kisses of steel will bring this light to a close how many steel kisses will drain me of all that i have i’ve been trapped behind these veins self expression is not enough i can only see through the gaps the cracks of what i wish to be there’s light on the other end i want it to hit my skin i’ve had my arms out in the dark for far too long hoping to touch something only in death can i express myself only in this expression, only in death

Heaven is Cold Now 03:00
lyrics
no angels, no miracles, no heaven above there is only black waiting and cold earth to comfort fear has created a place that’s deathless life is cold and filled with tragedy it soon will find us and we will know heaven is cold now father in heaven, i am not coming to the light if there's a chance of you receiving me into your arms i would rather roam in the darkness forever i will never submit to acceptance of divinity if good intentions could be used to slit these wrists they’d bleed me fucking dry humility would bleed me dry if only god's deaf ears could hear the screams of this world i am poisoned by eating the body i am poisoned by drinking your blood i would rather take my life in reverence god's love is murder cold dead hands load the bullets of ministry tradition is the gun to my head the holy spirit blasts out the back of my head halos and horns are indistinguishable
