Unravel 04:48
This all concealing tapestry I've been hiding behind; my angel, my friend That I've been weaving all my life; my shadow, my end But now your ragged seams give in The mirror's eyes touch my skin The unraveling must begin At last... I cast my pain aside Bare the fiber untouched Remnant scraps of fear collide And primal roots shine in the hush My unquenchable necessity, to be seen as I am; without a stitch Its lust smothers all my fire; paralyzing to the fringe Stitched unto my skin Swallowing all within The unraveling must begin At last... I cast my pain aside Bare the fiber untouched Remnant scraps of fear collide And primal roots burst through the crust I feel the rain of a thousand eyes caress my virgin flesh No more doubt, no more fear and no more pain; Unburdened, I face the end I'll say goodbye now, my friend I cast my pain aside Bare the fiber untouched Remnant scraps of fear collide And primal roots shine in the hush

Weeping Lead 05:03
Vacant stare at leaves in stone Shrieking silence of the raven bones It's all I see and all I hear All I breathe while time disappears Draining my veins Weeping lead to sculpt my fire Grinding teeth on rusty nails Sinking under the crushing air I exhale For it's all I breathe while time disappears Draining my veins Bleeding dread to feed the mire And drown in grace Weeping lead to sculpt my fire Draining my veins Bleeding dread to feed the mire And drown in grace Weeping lead to sculpt my fire And forge the hands of time All I weep and all I bleed, the fire I breed It’s merely to endure the time until I leave

I put your head on my chest So you can hear my heart's whisper confess I crave your love, the taste of your lips Your trembling sigh under my fingertips Oh why do you scorn the words I give you? Don't you see they were made just for you? Please listen to the unspoken words The whispering heart in my eyes I've listened to your breath and the sigh of your heart Just this one single morning, serenity unmarred Oh why do I scorn the words you give me? Cause I know they were meant just for me I should listen to the unspoken words The whispering heart in your eyes As it bursts out of my ribs into your soft and selfless hands Wring out the red flowing truth and swallow me down Now this is what you really mean to me Oh why do you scorn the words I give you? Don't you see they were made just for you? We should listen to the unspoken words The screaming heart in your eyes

Dear motherly flame, please take me in And love me like you scorch me And kiss my blistered skin Oh cruel motherly flame I am blindly drifting through the starless heavens Pull me down, make me drown Let me drink your soothing fire Divine motherly flame, engulf me in your wings And hurt me as you hold me And bear my smothering dream I am blindly drifting through the starless heavens Pull me down, make me drown Let me drink your soothing fire Take me in, let me sink Hush the blackness as I wither in your arms Pull me down, make me drown Let me drink your soothing fire Take me in, let me sink Hush the blackness as I wither in your cruel and gentle arms

Passing By 04:41
With a burst of colors ablaze, you came into my life Our first touch; we would never outshine I put a spell on you with this sirenic melody You were mine, but I was never truly yours Lying skin to skin in a timeless dream, that seemed so real But true love; I would never really feel You allowed my spines to pierce your breasts and sting your heart You were mine, but I was never truly yours Oh I want you to know that I tried to sway my love But my heart aches just for pain You were mine, but I was never truly yours Oh I want you to know that I tried to sway my love But you were only passing by Never quite enough for my heart that beats just for pain Now you lie here in my arms, my spines sinking in The colors draining from your chest and seeping down my skin Your bloodless shell corrodes under the sand I cry Why did you have to get this close? You should have just passed by

Face Them 05:27
Swarms of smothering voices Circling in the mirror's haze Shame, guilt, hate, dread, scorn Crawling down your tortured gaze So dance in sorrow, little doll For you are nothing, nothing at all No, burn the strings of limb and soul Face them smiling See them wither in the light Face them crying Hear them pleading for their purpose in your life Surrender turned to worship Praying to your shadow Gods Chained, beat, scarred, shamed, crushed When all you're begging for is love No, burn the strings of limb and soul Face them smiling See them wither in the light Face them crying Hear them pleading for their purpose in your life So dance in sorrow, little doll For you are nothing, nothing at all No, burn the strings of limb and soul Face them smiling See them wither in the light Face them crying Hear them pleading for their purpose in your life Face them smiling See them wither in the light Face them crying Hear them pleading for their purpose in your life

I slit the light And split the air I chase a glimpse That soothing stare Your night, my dawn I tame the sand And crave for fire I hunt the scent Oh sweet desire Your night, my dawn Surrender your warmth

You Take 05:23
Warming up your cold, small hands on that October night Gazing at a shattered moon dance on ink in white Is this really happening? Or did I paint you in my dreams? I quietly kiss you on your head; I beg you, please be real! I pretend that I'm the only one, I condemn the siren you become Yet I succumb Taken by the tears and wonder glistening in your eyes I know you're just a girl who's lost, helpless in lies Preying on my quenchless thirst, you tell me that you care You whisper those 3 haunted words, that cage me in despair I'll pretend that I'm the only one, I condemn the siren you become I'll pretend our love has just begun, I resent the Goddess you've become Yet I succumb You tame, you take Do you give him that look? That intrusive stare and intoxicating smile of yours? Do you get on your toes and reach up, when you seduce him to kiss you? Do you tame him like you tame me? And take what you crave, what you lust for? Is this his wet that I taste on your lips? And that you have me swallow? No!!! Please let me be... You tempt and you tame You pull and you take... You whore! My love...

I open my eyes into this lingering dream I've bled here before, oh so many times Deadened by our mortal restraints Overgrown, I'd die to feel you shine Holding on with hands torn open Cause I know the hurt will write our song Lost in the sleep, where both our roads entwine Eyes at the ground to shun these puzzling signs A mere servant of the deafening whispers Sunk beneath, I meld into the vines Holding on with hands torn open Cause I know the hurt will write our song Overgrown, I'll be waiting Right here, to smile and sing along Holding on with hands torn open Overgrown, I'll be waiting here unbroken
