An Image of the Heavens 02:28
lyrics
buy track
Some men kick the bucket And turn to dust But if luck would have it I'll be preserved and rust Like Jesus Christ upon his cross The words live on, the meaning lost Upon a name to fear before Wait for our reckoning For all eternity Kneeling before An image of the heavens
 Painted on hell's door Kneeling before An image of the heavens
 Painted on hell's door Painted on hell's door Painted on hell's door Painted on

Wolves and the Opinions of Sheep 02:20
lyrics

You're an egalitarian who won't give me a chance And I don't mean to sound crass But your "equality" can kiss my ass You scoff at God with every stance You laugh me off without a glance But before you go to dance your dance You should know, you know I know You stripped the universe of God Convinced the masses of your fraud Retained that sense of awe they sought To get exactly what you want And I don't know how I'll fight this fight Or reexplain a wrong from right Because my language is corrupt For some want power more than love My words are razor sharp Running straight across your heart And I'm still deadly with a weapon If you're pushing me too far So now you're warned I won't hesitate to finish what you start And leave you stranded with my sugar In the gas tank of your car And now you beg for my mercy But you're not one to ask Forgiveness was a gift from the God you killed Please don't make me laugh We're in a different world now One you thought would be great But as the dust settles down You see the root's not love, but hate And still you beg for my mercy But you're still not one for help Forgiveness was a gift from the God you killed You brought this on yourself We're in a different world now One that you helped create But since the dust has settled down You see the cost No love, just hate

Fish in the Sea 03:46
lyrics

Just once I'd like To greet the sunrise Without the burden of these Awkward goodbyes Though I speak no lies Some things I hide In the dark of the night To get on their good side So there's no surprise When I see regret Show in their eyes And I wish we'd never met I'm drowning in a sea One that lacks any creativity And I could escape But I want the life that I saw on TV Though at first you'd deny I've no need to pry Your actions imply That you're lonely inside So when I fill you up In more ways than one Do you hope that finally Your searching is done? She's drowning in a sea One that lacks any creativity She could escape But she's satisfied by mediocrity And somewhere someone sleeps Dreaming their dreams Thinking that we are worthy of envy Cause when they wake It's next to no one They want to make What we once called love But have since given up

Analog Solitude 02:38
lyrics

This is how I feel Surrounded, yet alone This is what I get When I try to leave my home My stomach is upset That's nothing new Full with regret And running low on fuel This is how I feel Imagine if you knew Only half real And nothing but A fool for you A fool for you A fool for you A fool for you Can't keep control As your lips move With your eyes on me I've got something to prove I learned between the sheets That I love you So I broke the rules Ask me again And I'll deny that it's true After all I'm a fool A fool for you I'm a fool A fool for you Aren't we all? I'm a fool A fool for you I'm a fool A fool for you Aren't we all?

Digital Harem 05:10
lyrics

Every night another girl Makes her way into my world And maybe brings a friend or two To pull my thoughts away from you And it frees me from my wandering Reminds me of my fantasies And you can say it's fake, baby But they're more real than you to me anymore Anymore, anymore Living in digital age This is old, refresh the page Dear image on computer screen Please take away my misery This is sad, still have no choice I'd much rather hear your voice And yes, I know it's fake, baby But they're more real than you to me anymore Anymore, anymore Barely legal pixelate All dolled up in crimson lace Feel no shame to desecrate A soon aged angel's perfect face Oh, how I wish this were fake Can't escape, all I feel is pain anymore Anymore, anymore

What you say And what you mean Are two different things And that's why we disagree And I would try to help you understand Oh yeah, I'd lend you a hand But they say you can tell a lot about a man By the company he keeps So I guess that must mean I'm imaginary I'm imaginary What you have heard And what you've seen Don't mean a thing Compared to what you need And I would try to help you understand Oh yeah, I'd lend you a hand But they say you can tell a lot about a man By the company he keeps So I guess that must mean I'm imaginary I'm imaginary You see what you want to see In some grand conspiracy To keep your conscience clean Anything to come between you and me And I would try to help you understand Yeah, I would try to help you understand Yeah, I would try to help you understand Yeah, I would try to help you understand Oh yeah, I'd lend you a hand But they say you can tell a lot about a man By the company he keeps So I guess that must mean I'm imaginary You're imaginary We're imaginary We've been imagining everything
