Acolyte

Pass the torch, you know you won't take it to the ground.
We carry on these days of note that are way too long to count.
But you'd sacrifice everything to retain.
You've sold it all. You've given out and around (round and round) we go.
The point to prove is here and now, to sway our minds from doubt.
Yet you're moving round and round too many times to count.
And you'd compromise anything to remain.
Dense fog of aggregation. Sounds cry for clarity.
Condole in deaths connection, your torch has lost its fire.
You’ve taught the final lecture found in your walk of life.
Pray now for zeal and vigor.
I am the acolyte.
Your riches are stolen, sticky fingered as a thief; and it doesn't resonate with me.
Use your mouth as a weapon to indoctrinate beliefs. Progressively cheating without empathy.
You're losing control. You're trading it all. You're going to war.
Does anyone notice? You're staging it all.
Have you swallowed your tongue? Recreating transgressions. I feel the grudge persuading me.
Our virtue is threatened through red tape conformity. Your mockery bias shows no dignity.
It's humiliation, it's downright calamity. It's embarrassing for you as your muttering.
Does anyone notice? I can hear you degrading me. I do.
Does anyone notice? I can feel you negating me. I do.
You're taking. You're hating. You're faking. You're fake.
Never been wrong, nothing at all.
Nobody knows you started it all.
Pull the plug to disconnect.
You tempt the rules of Gods. You damn the light.
You beg for fantasy to suppress real life.
You burn the open flame and we're treading ice.
You stress the breaking point, and we pay the price.
And you've failed to lull divide while you feed us lies.
And you've gone so far beyond control, we're left to die.
A sacrifice of all our lives. I am the acolyte.

Disputes
05:36
|

|
A bone to pick. An axe to grind. The wielded sword has both sides.
Attack with blame, then retreat again. Forever and ever.
It makes me sick to speak to this. Impaired upon the moment.
You found a friend and got lost again. The time has arrived but it's over.
I would rather not. I won't play these games.
I would rather... Don't tempt me, knowing what I know.
I would rather...
It makes me think; evade the risk. Eliminate these omens.
We're frozen here as we analyze. Uh oh, uh oh, is it over?
These thoughts will never exit me. A splinter in my mind.
The thoughts will never fade.
These words forever stay with me, such to my decline.
They never seem to fade away.
Baiting out my enemy. You're feeding into jealousy. Don't tempt me now. Take control.
You sense the rift; ensured to drift. Eruptions of emotion.
Beyond the veil and across the line. The time has come, now it's over.
The cause to cringe. The lies again. Victims of the moment.
Concise disputes, exist forever. Ah ha, Ah ha, forever.

Soft Disclosure
05:49

You've had to see things that you should not see.
That shouldn't happen in the first place.
You've asked me to be things that I could not be.
That shouldn't mean you walk alone.
Unsatisfied/Dissatisfied. The cached time in my back pocket's out now.
You cut me off. It's not enough. I want it all. Keep breathing.
I want it all. Keep breathing. Keep breathing, oh.
You play it off. It's been enough. You stop it all. Deep breathing.
You wall me off. Deep breathing. You wall me off.
You disbelieve me. There's no sake for speaking.
It's so uncovered by your blank face.
Words so misleading, the web you're weaving is unknown.
We've lost control.
Now you don't speak, you can't speak.
Now you don't provide me anything.
Now you don't see, you can't see.
Now you don't get past periphery.
You've sold the lie to yourself.
You want change when there's a truth that surrounds you.
And there's no time for yourself.
It won't change when life has come and gone.

The Maze of Existence
06:30
|

|
You want to tuck the harm away. A move to suffer.
And you dare to hide from your mistakes. They're haunting you.
You break and I can feel the fear begin to rise. Carry on my love.
Take all that I can provide. I'm living on our love.
You watch your age accelerate. Your declining faster.
You wax the seal of your own fate. Alive you're...
Never satisfied. Head can't stop from screaming.
Never satisfied. Heart won't stop from bleeding.
Never satisfied. These lungs are giving out.
And I will be fine, I'm willing to die. Come take my treasure now.
And you should be fine, saying goodbye. Appease your pleasure.
Take whatever now. Take whenever. Take whatever now.
You can't sink down; you've got to get to higher ground before the trial comes to judge you.
You can't sleep now; you've got dependents all around. They might lose everything of me.
Without you.
You can't stop now. Save yourself.
Stand your ground. Control

Dissipate
06:03
|

|
It's keeping me awake at night.
I feel the pattern of the breath around my lungs.
Mask my eyes. Stow my mind.
I can't seem to forget about it.
I can't hide from the lapses in my life, but sometimes it's time.
You're burning out. There's not much to prolong.
You fade away. You dissipate.
The stages bring on vertigo.
I'm sick and tired of not knowing the unknown.
To hide my cries stokes the fire.
And it would cease if I could just admit it.
I've grown naive to the fears beneath these lies, but sometimes it's time.
Who's burden now? When it's known that you're gone.
You fade away. You dissipate.
She's not dead, she's just away.
I've grown tired but I've sown the seeds that get you by.
I've grown tired and there's no hereinafter all.

No Surrender
05:24
|

Seal the gates that keep the demons inside.
Drain the hate that's flooding this divide.
Swim around. We Swim around over-sensitized.
Turn the tide before another victim drowns in the blood boiling up from underground. Shut it down. Shut it down or be criticized.
One cut to satisfy the knife.
One bite will devour.
One drift can shift the blame.
One bend to break the status quo.
One change brings another.
One breath will fan the flame.
Through the fog a hidden flip side.
Our clouded thoughts will seldom unify.
Strip down. Strip down till' you're minimized.
Asleep the fire that could burn us to the ground,
we're looking up while the sky is falling down.
Spin around. You Spin around till' you're mesmerized.
At the end of the world, we can't stop - no surrender.
As the weight of the world, rise together.
We can't stop when the blame becomes our own.

Eviscerate
07:03
|

|
We're only born into the debt we pay.
A random candidate of burden. It's time to move on.
All this hatred has our minds enslaved.
Every day is judgment day. It's time to move on.
(Cycles Come Repeated)
Affection adds more meaning.
Compassion stops the bleeding out. Eviscerate.
You look at me look in your eyes.
Ready to compromise, you'll watch me beg.
Snaring me still in your vice.
Willing to reconcile, you let me hang.
Stare at me pray for my life.
We're all victims in our own charade.
While the press is branding phrases. It's time to move on.
We only have ourselves to blame.
When amputees are picking up the pieces. It's time to move on.
Time to end our division.
Time to move on.
