Foreword 01:04

Once you feel it break the skin Let me know and I'll begin Take this belt and don't let go In a second they'll be gone Feel the rise of heaven's kiss All I've lost seems like it's less And I'll crawl back to your hole My veins up I hear them call You were never here In our secret place To bathe inside your fear As the screams come 'round again This I know I should expect And just waitin' by the door Here to buy back what you sold For one moment in your bliss The ability to rest And I'll crawl back to your hold My blood pools I hear them call You were never here In our secret place To bathe inside your fear Make that same mistake And I cannot seem to care As the angels sign Devour all your tears All my masks are my defense That's the cost of things repressed So just take this as you're told Fill that medicated hold Now I've found that place again Deep inside I am still dead And I'll crawl back to your hole My veins pull I hear them call

It's cold outside There's orange in the leaves Just got home Hastily drop my keys And it's straight to the baggie I'll go To indulge in this sin one more time And know I've got my ways Ways And I'm takin' and I'm takin' and I'm takin' Ways Just what did you expect of me? Yeah I'm high as a kite as you can see And it's straight to the baggie I'll go To indulge in this sin one more time And know I've got my ways Ways And I'm takin' and I'm takin' and I'm takin' Ways

Toll 04:52
How can I trust a word you've said? All these inconsistencies that you cannot defend Seems like sanctity is some war inside your head Nothin' left to salvage here No more that I can pretend You've taken a toll My sympathy is sore When I walk out that door You'll see my face no more Every gift you've given me was laced with malice intent Now here I am caught up in your web of discontent One thing I know is I won't live my life like this There's nothin' left to salvage No more that I can mend God only knows Why you wallow in your shit And let it be known To all who will listen to it You've taken a toll My sympathy is sore When I walk out that door You'll see my face no more
5.
There is no place That I call home Just a drifting shadow Of flesh and bone The devil in the rearview Oh he calls my name And if you let go my darling I will surely Fade away Another day Another thorn Another glimpse of What is in store I can understand That this is fate But that doesn't mean I want it this way There is no place That I call home Just a drifting shadow Of flesh and bone The devil in the rearview Oh he calls my name And if you let go my darling I will surely Fade away

Fiend 04:47
She's like speaking to a ghost that's physically there Her heavy eye peer through long black hair Nodding her head like she came here waiting to die Pass from this world with little more than a sigh And you're one among the damned Forever enslaved To a feeling that can't be found The wounds in you They run much too deep Soul is scarred with the remnants of a fiend Down she walks endless side street Broken glass and needles cut her feet Neon signs and worry lines These sullen lives all reek of poverty Night has come and streets glow On she treks with no real aim or goal By a dime this one last time It's not a crime to sell your empty soul Guess I should know by now You can't change I don't blame you anyhow The wounds in you they run much too deep A soul that's scarred with the remnants of a fiend

Abaddon 03:40
A bottomless hole Has captured me It tightens its hold I cannot break free Time Is all that I know Doomed to the same Day after day Down in this hole Thought you wanted this Life that you forfeit Further further further further I fall along I fall along I fall along One step closer with no end To endure the weight of infinite One step closer with no end In this place there sits abyss
8.
Livin' my life like I'm dyin' too soon Slow suicide drug sex and booze Rollin' the dice I play to lose No it's not right, it's what I choose I'm not alone I have my pain I'm not alone I have my hate I'm not alone I have my shame I'm not alone As I go down in flames Walkin' the edge The dance of a fool Damned if I don't and damned if I do I'm not alone I have my pain I'm not alone I have my hate I'm not alone I have my shame I'm not alone As I go down in flames

Gone 05:01
Can't you see Dead dreams come to me Used is my name Just an empty cellophane A flame burns out inside I'm still here I'm just not alive This reflection A stranger I hate In sleep I still cannot escape To far gone For me To move on No this isn't home My heart has turned to stone Now go back to sleep In this place of the dead and dreaming This isn't home Oh no this isn't home
