Lyric:: "Keeper"

I've got a devils wing
I've got an angels wing
I watched the chaos, shuddered as I wait...
somehow forced my flight straight...



I am the devil and the saint



The one they left behind



The last with all the stories



Pray I don't lose my mind



Although I feed what goes deeper
...And deeper



I am the keeper






I don't know that anyone ever understood me
I don't know that anyone should bother to try
Bet you wish you never met me
I'll never change and never know why



I am the devil and the saint



The one they left behind 



The last with all the stories



Beg I don't lose my mind



Although I need what goes deeper 
...And deeper



I am the keeper

Lyric:: "Strong"

Illiterate confederates chasing empty ideas.
And the streets are full of strangers
They kill each other over different versions of a myth.
And the bloody changes

Wish you were as strong as me
As strong as me
As strong as me

The romance of the macabre.
Mercy, mercy, why didn't we hear it?
Whining banshee squealing hate filled propaganda.
And the bleeding changes

Wish they were as strong as me
As strong as me
As strong as me

Faster than a bullets terrifying fire
The dreams went SMACK, there was no use turning back
'Cause I just had to see, was a fire watching me?
In the mist, the neck twists, swinging fists ...
All the blood it changes

Wish I was as strong as me
As strong as me
As strong as me

You pause for the cause try to recall and remember
Say why'd you have to ask me there are many experts
Release me to the streets in the morning
'Til every person with a story begins to bore me
Six billion gorillas for whom the graves yawn
And you've the nerve to have those red shades on
In hell so many layers of contradictions only
Your fear you're such a cancer on the inside holy
On the inside burning on the inside burning

On my face, does it really even matter that
I need serenity I don't think I had
Preached enough I only wanted you to
get to the sky Let me see, are you so bored with the power
so?
What if all I ever learned I have become
Help me stand and now I know I have become
help me breathe and now I know I have become
Another loose cannon gone crazy, slipped down,
Been to the dead to the dead to the dead, with my
Discipline


To be as strong as me...as strong as me

Coming in 2018...

Coming 2018...


Lyric:: "Watching The World End"

Left, right, straight, slight...your take on the agenda leaves us empty
Drunk, cranked, smacked, straight...we cant think so we dont need to agree

Make me dead, automatic, fat and bloated
We will walk on a hill
Losing our minds dreaming together.
We simply choose to forget
As we go on...Watching the world end

Fleeced, earned, spent, tolled...your stake feeds the lies we give
Burnt, cut, bruised, shanked...we have a prison without bars to live

Make me dead, automatic, fat and bloated
We will march up that hill
Losing our minds keeping up with each other.
We simply reap what we get
As we keep on...Watching the world end

Time is your investment, no need to regret this, there's no need to resent his, it's just bigger than yours...
Crash into the testament, history spent this, where's the bleed present at, it's just barer and more...

Make me dead, automatic, fat and bloated
We will stumble down that hill
Losing our minds screaming at each other.
We simply choose to forget
As we keep on...Watching the world end

Black, brown, yellow, clown...well look at your pretty colors
Fall, burn, crush, drown...will it matter how you end to live?

Make me dead, automatic, fat and bloated
We will crumble into fill
Losing our minds leeching off each other.
We simply lose the regret
As we keep on...Watching the world end

20 years, nothings changed
40 years, nothings changed
100 years, nothing left to change
Don't look...
we'll keep on...Watching the world end

Lyric:: "10 Minutes"

I am numb
I wanted to write 10 songs every ten minutes but I can't write one
Remember what I said?
Glad you do I wish I could
Funny this pours out. Finally. I'm ready to scream...
Crushed limits with a dead dream

And I stumble, you stumble, we try, we wait...don't wanna wait...

Don't. Want. To. Wait...

All these faces what do you think? what I think?
Billions of heads in their own dream 
What's in a smile? What's the point? What's it seem?
Happy you say friendly maybe
10 songs in 10 minutes sit waiting to be seen...

And I stumble, you stumble, we try, we wait...don't wanna wait...

Don't. Want. To. Wait...

So what's the want? What's it supposed to be?
Do I win? Do you? Who decides? What's victory?
If I told you a story maybe sang about Jesus 
10 songs in 10 minutes sit waiting, wanting, see?

And I stumble, you stumble, we try, we wait...don't wanna wait...


Don't. Want. To. Wait...
