Lyrics & Music By Ted

Twisted revelations of tomorrows passed
Wrenching torment, a kind that lasts
Transversing over devastation so serene
Ripping the frame apart at the seams

Glad to see, that you came
Once you see, never be the same
A lifelong secret, the world’s lie
No way to keep it, for tomorrow dies

Chorus
It’s... hard… to… be…
So consumed by hate and animosity!
With… all… you’ve… learned...
Will you still regret the time you turned?

Masking stories for the hope of it all
That tomorrow won’t bring a downfall
Stepping slowly over thin ice about to break
Falling deep inside giving in to the final wake

Sorry to say, the time has come
No other way, you’re the one
An unsolved mystery, time to find
This world’s history, ain’t so kind

Chorus x2

With it (with it) bringing…
Tomorrow’s Claim
With it (with it) dreaming…
A coward’s Shame
With it (with it) clinging…
Tomorrow’s Claim
With it (with it) screaming…
A killer’s Name

Glimpsing insight into the world’s mind
Pieces of a puzzle you hope to once find
Reaching so far to hope you can grasp
That breath you take, soon becomes your last

Chorus

It’s... hard… to… see…
Rip through lies and the atrocities!
With… this… you’ll… know...
Culling the weak helps the world grow!

Culling the weak to grow!
Culling the weak to grow!
Culling the weak to grow!
Culling the weak…

Lyrics By Brandon Lunsford, Music By TJ

Breathe in… excel before you… start a-gain
Right now… don’t think twice until you… are… found… yeah
The truth… lies somewhere deep in-side of… you…

Your lies I don’t need to mention
All the times you kept me guessing
Your lies I don’t need to mention
All the times you kept me waiting

Chorus All I want from you
Is to live it like you want to
Making your own mistakes
Do it all your own way

My hands… do things that my heart… can’t… stand…. oh
Six feet… living like you couldn’t bu-ry me…
No one… could ever ca-rry me…

Your lies I don’t need to mention
All the times you kept me guessing
Your lies I don’t need to mention
All the times you kept me waiting

Chorus

All I want for you is to settle down nicely
With thoughts of your own not hear for you to fight me
Advice given doesn’t need to be taken…
Make you own mistakes, fall down get up again
Because I’m just a friend
But I let you do it all your own way
But I’m here if that’s okay…

Lyrics By Derek, Music By Ted

Hatred this time is real
Detest all that you may feel
In due time you will tell
Once I am free from this fucking shell

You fail to recognize
The grand scheme from your eyes
Inadequate from the start
Your soul I'll tear apart

I make haste to tear you down
To see the insides of you
There's nothing to observe
You have some nerve

Make peace with all you know
If you are capable of feelings, show
Time is close for you to see
I'll devour all... skin and teeth

Devour!

You can't take back what you said
It’s all fucked up in my head
The memories are lost
Your life is the ultimate cost

Out of breath, looking back
Regretting all that was done
Take a second to think again
Just before you meet your end

I can't say that I can blame you
But I can say that I will end you
Thrust across for our pain
Your breath faint and strained

We went wrong from the start
Keeping honest wasn't our theme
Backstabbing was your art
Betrayal your failed scheme

Devour!

No grief for you
I can't forgive you
I can't live this again
Not with all, all this pain
I will no longer bow
These chains are torn away
I have the power now
Devour not feel

Devour... All that is you
Devour...
Devour... All that was you
Devour...

Hatred this time is real
You fail to recognize
You can't take back what you said
It’s all fucked up in my head

The memories are lost
Just before you meet your end
Through time Ill break and bend
All that we knew nothing to defend

Devour… All that we are…
Devour… All that we knew…
Devour… Everything you are…
Devour… Everything you knew…

I can’t see that this is ending
I can’t believe that I’m pretending
I look to you to believe
I look at you and see what you’ll never be

Everything turned out a sham
Fake truth, dirt, and glam
Don’t question what I am...
Devour, this is who I am!!!

Lyrics By Ted, Music By Bryan

It’s never the same as it’s seen from the outside
For every victory, a thousand defeats
For every happy ending, 50 dead in the streets
For every ounce of honor, pools of lies and deceit
For every great uprising, a genocide of the meek

Chorus
This epitome of misery
Rip away the skin so all can see
All the scars that this life leaves
And you’ll find a new way to bleed

It’s never the same as you see on TV
For every murderer caught, 10 more run free
For every hit of marijuana, and tab of ecstasy
For every heroic cop, a killer’s steely resolve

It’s never the same
So many ways to end this game
What you see and what you believe
Are never one in the same

Chorus

It’s never the same as you hear on the news
And for every drug addiction cured, a hundred more use
And for every decision, no more of our right to choose
And for every false victory, more of our soul we lose

This epitome of misery
The all seeing eye blind to all we see
The scars it leaves, the way we bleed
An eyewitness to this hollowed existence
Yet we still pour our convictions
This is the one true contradiction

Lyrics & Music By Ted

Reflected… Sorrow
Neglect… Harrowed
Regret that’s swallowed
You’ll feel better tomorrow
Desperation… Gripping
Uncaring… Forgiving
Sanity that’s slipping to
Pain and torment never ending

Chorus #1
Beautiful pain is the way I deal
Blocking out all but the unreal
Forgetting all but the one who caused this pain
In the end I am the only one to blame

Misplaced… Trust
Exempt… Lust
Truth that’s bitter
Begging you to forgive her
Muffled… Silence
Condoned… Violence
Reality that’s slipping to
Scales that are tipping

Chorus #1

Pain and anguish are the tools of the trade
Regretting nothing and neglecting the unmade
Selective perception is the world that we see
To live in a world that’s only make believe

Selective perception is the only question
The reality we’re living is the one never mentioned
To block out all the bad, save the good
To onlookers tricks never understood
To show only good shows an unreal fantasy
To everyone who believes the fairy tale reality
Selective perception to never have to feel again
Selective religion to live our lives in sin

Chorus #1
Chorus #2

Hurt and torment are the ways that I cope
Not to feel to block the pain with dope
Closing shutters to the world around us
Praying to our idols and begging forgiveness

Lyrics By Louis Gattone, Music By Bryan & Ted

Walk away you’ll never come around to
See the day they all make fun of you
Turn your back ignore the rest of them
Move on with life and then start again

Turn your back and pray for all of them
The fate this world’s bestowed on all of them
To live their lives in total misery
Back to re-al-it-y

Chorus
Take the faith thrust upon you,
Look away they have used you
Take yourself and walk away,
Live to see another day

Open your eyes so you can see the light
Gathering force so you can stand to fight
Decide in your mind what is wrong and right
Evade the fate of the up-com-ing night

Turn your back and pray for all of them
The fate this world’s bestowed on all of them
To live their lives in total misery
Back to re-al-it-y

Chorus

Stand up and ignore the rules
You have been played the fool
Never again you will see
What is and will never be
Back away kneel before me
You are sick twisted agony
I know my time has come and went
This is my mindset!

My mindset!

Lyrics & Music By Ted

I fight this feeling but it won’t fade
Why does it consume me every day
Knowing I can’t ever give into it
Why can’t… I seem… To Just… Tear through it!!

Each page torn is another empty life
All these people, never know their strife
Cowering before fear, I bide my time
Why can’t… We seem… To Just… Close our minds!!

You… See… Me…
I am more than you’ll ever be!!
Locked... Deep… Within…
Etchings carved deep withholding sin!!
Holding… Our… Sin!!

Hiding… Our… Sin…
Fighting from within!!
Seeing… Your… Ways…
Starting to begin!!

Etchings carved from deep inside
Piecing parts formed from my mind
Your soul the form, which I confide
Knowing these feelings I can’t hide
Each leaves a story left untold
A lifetime of mysteries to unfold

Etchings carved from our own sin
Hoping to unlock the mystery within
Learn to trust in more than a whim
Hurt my former and torment my twin
Your body the map, hands the tool
My spirit the weight, blood the fuel

I continue the war, ‘til I bury my own
Let those without sin, cast their stones
I pull against, for the fading day
Why Must… It all… Be torn… And ripped away!!

Lyrics & Music By TJ

Chorus
With this knife I separate my skin from bone
Severe everything that I’ve known
Just for one kiss, before you leave me
With this knife I separate my skin from bone
Give up everything that I’ve hoped
Just for this kiss, before it’s too late

I wash my hands of you, now you’ve washed your hands of me
Regret fills my heart and blood softens my lungs
I wanted so much more, than I thought that you could give
So I drown those feelings away, with a bottle of tears and a balled-up fist

And now I can’t sleep; now I can’t eat, can’t even dream without you by my side
Every day and every night

Chorus

I know that I have wronged you, you’ve held on far too long
Now I’m on my hands and my knees, on broken glass, don’t let me bleed
Please my save me from myself, and show me what I’m worth
This tired desperation; I can’t face it, I can’t take it

And now I can’t sleep; now I can’t eat, can’t even breathe without you by my side
Every day and every night

Chorus x2

I separate my skin from bone
My skin from bone
My skin… from… bone…

Lyrics & Music By Ted

Blood as cold as ice
A grip like that of stone
Many victims along the way
To reclaiming my place at the throne
Skin as thick as leather
A conscience without remorse
Like a ship driven to the ends
I won’t be deterred from my final course

They sing this song as they are lowered into the sea
It specially connects them but means nothing to me
The damage has been done, the final stone cast…
When all has turned to ash, this requiem will last

Temperament of steel
A pain the carries ill-will
Although the lust has been satiated
The bodies remain still
Heart as black as the night
A mind driven far astray
Like a borrowed ladder
To meet these ends I will find a way

They sing this song as they are lowered into the ground
Soon their begs and pleads will become the only sound
The damage has been done, the judgment passed…
When all has turned to ash, this requiem will last

Bridge
A blade as cold as // the heart that bears it
The blood as pure as // he who tears it
Withered promises hold // no place with me
Blind is my heart like // a man who can not see
A lie as cruel as // the one who tells it
A pain as deep as // the one who bears it
Pleas and screams will // not condemn me
Dead is my heart like // a man who can not breathe

They sing this song as their bodies return to earth
The last precious memories, became their only worth
The damage has been done, the sentence passed…
When all has turned to ash, this requiem will last

Will as strong as iron
A hand that trembles not
Even though I’ve now fallen
My reign will not be forgot
Soul as empty as the sky
A wish for eternal pain
Once my requiem was heard
Those lives will never be the same

Bridge

Lyrics & Music By TJ & Johnny Kidd

You have pushed me down for the last time
I will not let this go
Make me feel like I am no-thing
I am just going to blow

It’s cold outside and the ground is wet
I’ve never woken up in such a cold, cold sweat
But you were here and now you’re not you’ve gone so far away
You can’t be real it’s my life you steal and now it’s so torn & frayed

You have kept me down for so long
I have got to get away
Make me feel like I am so weak
My world has become so gray

You’re bold to lie and I hope you regret
Never having close friends that you could forget
But you never care and you never feared that day they’d go away
Cause you were always scared, completely impaired for that one chance to say!!

You Never Wanted Me
You never closed your eyes when we kissed

You never believed in me
You don’t even know that I exist

You scream like a whisper to a deaf ear
Bringing sorrow to all those that hear
Silence like an atomic bomb dropped on your head
Bringing death to all those it has fed
You shout to a room that doesn’t exist
Beating down the walls with your fists
Blood stains scar your face you have nowhere to fall
In an instant you’ve lost it all

Lyrics By Ted, Music By Bryan

Too weak to stand and fight
Too tired to prove I’m right
Ever questioned my honesty
But never doubt my integrity

Too long gone to just come back
Too derailed to reach this track
Never brought a reason why
All the answers lie inside

A sign for more than we know
This caught beneath the undertow
Breaking, bending, setting free
What more do you want from me

Too small to make an impact
Way too late to retract
These words that you say
Would you wish them all away

Too eager to be satiated
Too simple to be complicated
Life, death, between no grays
Riddles to set your mind ablaze

Worth more than its weight in gold
This last penance my severed soul
Right or wrong I will see it through
To the end of me and you
A sign to signal the breaking of a trend
To bring on the beginning of the end
Shadows hid the truth from the lies
You are the victor, but this is my prize
I grow weary from the weight carried
Heart torn asunder for the lies buried
Invested too much to let it slip away
Didn’t want this, but can see no other way

Too weak to rise against it
Too proud to go along with it
Too divine to accept the facts
Too stupid to know what lacks

Too calloused to react to the pain
Too complex to just remain
Too envied to not be prized
Too jaded to see through these eyes

A sign for more than we know
This caught beneath the undertow
Breaking, bending, setting free
What more do you want from me
Take you underneath the wave
This is what you hope to save
The frailty of life is clear
Make peace, your time is near

Lyrics By Louis Gattone, Music By Bryan

Coming down on sweet November
Transcending all that’s set before
Going back to what’s remembered
During the calming of the storm
You’ll never get away, taking time to see
Keep on running bitch; you can’t keep up with me
You keep on bleeding and needing surgery
That is the price you pay - to fuck with me!

Driving away the fears
Shadowed in flames
Tortured eyes of pain
Coming up to the point of tears
From the depths of which we came

Going back to times we've known
Inner sight, that’s far removed
Inner needs that have grown
These are the things that get you
You’ll never take the time, run and get away
Yet you insist we hear, what you have to say
You tried to test the best, and get up on descry
I’m going to make you wish – as a child you died!

Driving away from the fears
Encased in flames
Burning eyes of shame
Unable to hide the mind
From the demons that we became
