Lyrics: Dhel Music: Lin, Rei

I shed my body like a snake slithers out of its skin Leave this husk lying on a cold, stone floor where even the winter wind doesn't blow anymore

My memory is spotty like it's splattered with paint Oblivious to the voices and the faces it hides and I've never been a saint so when I…

Spring up from this earth, all my sins are revealed What happens if I throw these wax wings aside? To the sun, I will rise, my fate's already sealed in the thousands of ways I have already died It's too late to say goodbye so dry your eyes 'cause we lost this sky

When a blade kisses flesh it makes a small noise like the coo of a dove Let me carve out the poison so I can finally sleep in the skies above the land where sorrow's sown so deep

Why settle for less than the peaceful waves of a distant port I don't belong here, I am homeward bound Time's always running short and my feet won't touch the ground

I'll touch the face of the sun 'til I burn In this blinding light there's nowhere to hide But I'll keep climbing higher 'cause I can't return to a place where my soul is no longer tied I'm gonna fly, fly, fly Bleed into the dark of the night where we lost this sky

Don't mourn me when you find me We had a whole heartbeat to exist Don't you know there are other worlds than this?

And I'll Spring up from this earth, all my sins are revealed What happens if I throw these wax wings aside? To the sun, I will rise, my fate's already sealed in the thousands of ways I have already died I'll touch the face of the sun 'til I burn In this blinding light there's nowhere to hide But I'll keep climbing higher 'cause I can't return to a place where my soul is no longer tied I'm gonna fly, fly, fly Bleed into the dark of the night It's too late to say goodbye so dry your eyes 'cause we lost this sky

Damage Control

Lyrics: Rei Music: Lin, Bren, Rei

Sprawled on the floor like a broken doll I wasted so many days And now you're back with tears in your eyes And now I hear your familiar call and I've got nothing to say to you

Do you think an apology will be the glue that repairs what you broke between us? 'Cause you should know that what you did to me you can't just undo

I gave you so many chances but you just tore me to pieces and left me with nothing but this heart-shaped hole So how far do I have to fly now 'til the memory of you dies out? Will I always be running? Please, god, have some mercy Give me some damage control

"Don't go, don't leave me," I begged and I cried 'cause it took me too long to finally wise up And though you said, "I'm sorry," we both know you lied It's true

You're only sorry that I'm walking out the door now that you're no longer my weakness I guess it's your turn to be the broken doll collapsed on the floor

They say time heals all wounds and I think that concludes your time with me here and your death grip on my soul So how far do I have to run now? 'Cause our thread is already spun out and I wish you'd just disappear

I gave you so many chances but you just tore me to pieces and left me with nothing but this heart-shaped hole So how far do I have to fly now 'til the memory of you dies out? Will I always be running? Please, god, have some mercy Give me some damage control

PLAYGROUND

Lyrics: Dhel, Bren Music: Lin, Rei

He's the biggest kid at recess the first one with dibs for the kickball, for success and he'll elbow your ribs to skip to the head of the line It's his right, don't you know? 'Cause he was born divine to bakers with dough

Oh, you can cry to your teachers You can cry to your parents But they're all his feeders who say it's just his adolescence 'cause right now they're parrots looking for crackers grown by other peasants and tossed to them by hands that wear carats We dream about monsters with wide, slavering jaws We tell our kids they don't exist but they're real, they're our sponsors sharpening shiny silver claws that cut through any resistance They're not a bogeyman we conjure They make all our laws and we shower them with honours and rounds of applause 'cause we're all just waiting for our own shares We're all just secret millionaires He's not a kid anymore He's all grown up now and he glides through marble doors while you bow down 'til your nose scrapes the floor and your back starts to break and your hunger is ignored while he eats lobster and steak

Oh, you can try to partake but don't outgrow your britches 'cause his every mistake just earns him more riches Don't eat the cake when you're in the kitchen and don't you dare complain about the conditions We dream about monsters with huge, razor teeth We tell our kids they're just fiction but they're real, they're the squatters and they're all hiding beneath every perfect smile and every addiction and addiction must prosper and pretty soon every time we breathe we'll have to pay a subscription and swallow contradiction if we want our true position drowning in our own shares as millionaires He lies down with your mother and you let him smother your reservations 'cause you want the same relations But while you're peeling his grapes you're sucking down your own rape and handing him the knife for your own amputations Be… cause… We dream about monsters with wide, slavering jaws We tell our kids they don't exist but they're real, they're our sponsors sharpening shiny silver claws that cut through any resistance They're not a bogeyman we conjure They're real, they're the squatters and they're all hiding beneath every perfect smile and every addiction and addiction must prosper and pretty soon every time we breathe we'll have to pay a subscription and swallow contradiction if we want our true position drowning in our own shares We're all just secret millionaires

Curiosity Killed...

Lyrics: Dhel, Lin Music: Lin, Bren, Ishiki

Who's my little peeping tom (cat) Who's come a-creeping to knock (at) my door

But you don't come around here no more

You came around once at a little half past three And now it's been months since you've had tea with me I miss you more and more, puss with every silent chime I'll sink my hooks into you this time

I won't make the same mistake twice

So come fall down the rabbit hole again 'cause we both know how your story ends With a grin I extend my hat and my heart and my hand to you My sweet Alice, let's not pretend that you'll ever find any friends here to help you ascend But I commend your effort to run from the cage I'll build when we both know curiosity killed...

I left a key under the mat for you I watched you test it in every other lock And it might have opened another door or two but at four o'clock the time stops and I'm forced to start over from scratch

They say curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back So I'll serve you everything your heart desires at my table filled with tea and crumpets and briars that dig in so deep I'll keep you forever

Who's my little peeping tom (cat) Who's come a-creeping to knock (at) my door

So come fall down the rabbit hole again 'cause we both know how your story ends With a grin I extend my hat and my heart and my hand to you My sweet Alice, let's not pretend that you'll ever find any friends here to help you ascend But I commend your effort to run from the cage I'll build when we both know curiosity killed...

So come fall down the rabbit hole again 'cause we both know how your story ends With a grin I extend my hat and my heart and my hand and my everything to you My sweet Alice, let's just pretend that I'm the only one you can depend on Our love, it trascends your effort to run from the cage I'll build when we both know curiosity killed...

Drip drip drop Drip drip drop I cry 'til I'm dry but the tears just don't stop

You always hand over another little hurt To climb higher, you gotta push someone else down in the dirt With a single careless word you make 'em stumble and fall

But while you're crushing all their bones and treating everyone like your private stepping stones underneath all these groans the piper calls

And he's calling your account due It's been accruing since you took your first breath If you can't settle your debts, you'll drown in the

Pool of tears Where we all tread water and never find purchase Noses barely breaking the surface Pool of tears Turn a blind eye to anything that doesn't concern us You're just another clown in this circus Drip drip drop Drip drip drop You can cry 'til you're dry but these sobs never stop We've been swimming for years in this pool of tears

Dip your toes in the water on a little whim while you're skipping over the head of another fool gone for a swim and never mind you'll be where he's been When you're no longer the hunter

'Cause while you laugh above the waves someone's always remembering every metaphoric kick you gave when they were lying in grave dirt and someday you too will go under

And you'll sink all the way to the bottom No one's gonna come and save you from becoming a shipwreck More than up to your neck you'll drown in the

Pool of tears Where we all stare up at an empty, heartless sky and all we can do is ask it why we're here Pool of tears But no amount of demands will be met with a reply and we all just splash and thrash and supply another Drip drip drop Drip drip drop You can tread 'til you're dead but don't you ever stop You don't wanna disappear in this pool of tears

No escape from this flood we've started We're all just ships adrift with no course charted Sinking deeper and deeper as the waters rise With tears in our eyes we engineer our own demise from our pitiful cries

Pool of tears Where we all stare up at an empty, heartless sky and all we can do is ask it why we're here Pool of tears But no amount of demands will be met with a reply and we all just splash and thrash and supply another Pool of tears Where we all tread water and never find purchase Noses barely breaking the surface Pool of tears Turn a blind eye to anything that doesn't concern us You're just another clown in this circus Drip drip drop Drip drip drop You can cry 'til you're dry but these sobs never stop We've been swimming for years in this pool of tears

Rose, rose Rose bled rose, rose rose red when Rose, rose from the dead

My heart beats like a hummingbird's wings whenever she passes me by I'm scared she sees the perverse things parading through my brain

Like how these lines are becoming blurred and how I don't see why I should hide my yearning when I could be painting a picture of my

Rose, rose Rose, rose Rose bled Rose, rose Rose, rose rose red instead of me And every thorn that digs in deep is another chain that keeps me in the garden where she grows So leave me lying in her bed I don't care if she beheads me I'm still bowing at the feet of my queen My Rose rose red

Why's the sun always so bright when I open up my eyes in the morning light I blind myself again

And everything I painted white to make perfection out of lies bleeds red toward midnight while I just keep pretending we are fine

When she discovered that I suffered trapped in my delusions I shattered her illusions and planted her in my garden and she grows for me where no one goes and I know she's pardoned me

Rose, rose Rose, rose Rose bled Rose, rose Rose, rose rose red instead of me And every thorn that digs in deep is another chain that keeps me in the garden where she grows So leave me lying in her bed I don't care if she beheads me I'm still bowing at the feet of

Rose, rose Rose, rose Rose, you're dead Rose, rose Rose, rose rose red instead of me And every thorn that digs in deep is another chain that keeps me in the garden where she grows So leave me lying in her bed I don't care if she beheads me I'm still bowing at the feet of my queen My Rose rose red

My Rose rose red

Make your vow Here and now We'll name your price for freedom But you'll have to sit down Sit down Shut up and listen Listen in this pretty prison

Trapped in an endless spiral and strangled by the chains we made Where are the gods we've prayed to?

Isn't their silence just denial? If they don't answer when you call then who do you fall on your knees to?

Make your vow Here and now We'll name your price for freedom You can always defer the interest fees In this "buy now, pay later" world you can sell your soul with ease But you'll have to sit down Sit down Shut up and listen Listen in this pretty prison

Look at money's disciples oozing charm Just thieves who smile while stealing from us and shouting, "In God, we trust!"

These walls keep you safe from all harm We're a government protecting its people but who will protect them from our evil?

Is this world full of agony and fear the world you really want? Does this world full of hunger you see in the mirror ever really haunt you? 'Cause if it doesn't if it isn't then break out of this prison empty prison

Make your vow Here and now We'll name your price for freedom 'cause we all need some of a piece of you Promise it won't cost you much

Make your vow Here and now We'll name your price for freedom You can always defer the interest fees In this "buy now, pay later" world you can sell your soul with ease But you'll have to sit down Sit down Shut up and listen Listen in this pretty prison
