Abandoning Grace (My Icarus Wings)
I fashioned wings built on memories
Of a taste of your design
All I needed was an escape
From myself, from my mind
This labyrinth of life
Has trapped me in
And the freedom I strive for
Lies within your skin
These are my Icarus Wings
Pale feathers sewn with golden thread
You are my Icarus Wings
Appearance of beauty with such a dreadful spread
These are my Icarus Wings
Pale feathers sewn with golden string
You are my Icarus Wings
Appearance of beauty yet such a bitter thing
I fly with you
And sink to your depths/deaths
Arise in the siren's song
With shallow breaths
These are my Icarus Wings
Pale feathers sewn with golden thread
You are my Icarus Wings
Appearance of beauty with such a dreadful spread
These are my Icarus Wings
Pale feathers sewn with golden string
You are my Icarus Wings
Appearance of beauty yet such a bitter thing
My intention was ascension
Through your warm skin
But brought down by my burden/your beauty
I will drown in sin
All of you, you are my Sun
I will find solace in anyone
With scarlet lips and pale hips
The wind beneath my wings is lust
But in my haste to escape from this place
I have abandoned all of my grace

Models of Failure
Live and let live but never forgive
You weren't there, why should I care?
Heavy laboured hands with a hardened heart
One sided discipline and no mercy
You are a failure for a model of God
Welcome to our kingdom
Of righting your wrongs
We are the abandoned ones
A generation of men raised by women
A legion of sons with absentee failures
Take this failure and swallow it whole
Admit all the lies are getting old
Was this a blessing in disguise?
You weren't there, why should I care?
For so long I have felt only this way
Schizophrenic, undecided, constantly gray
Some have said "peace will find you one day"
But to You, this all I have to say
Welcome to our kingdom
Of righting your wrongs
We are the abandoned sons
A generation of men raised by women
A legion of sons with absentee failures
A generation of men raised by women
A legion of sons with absentee failures
Look at what you've done.
You've bastardized. You're exhausting.
Look at what you've done.
Schizophrenia, subsided.
Take this failure and swallow it whole
Admit all the lies are getting old
Live and let live yet never forgive
You are a failure for a model of

Audience of None
Why live your life in the mirror
Attempting to justify existence in hell
Present an amplified persona
Yet your actions only set to serve yourself
Audience of one
No one else cares to watch
Audience of one
No one else cares to care
Self sabotage con artist suffer
Live your words and swallow pride
Present an amplified persona
But what will you leave behind?
Audience of one
No one else cares to watch
Audience of one
No one else cares to care
This is not a battle
This is not a fight
This is my failure
This is my life
You are the miracle of life wasted

Bloodletting the Blackness
I will not regress
I will not regress again
You raped everything
You took it all
And gave me spit
When I crawled through ashes
This bloodletting
Cures my disease
All you ever gave
And left with me
I will not regress
I will not regress again
I'm not all I want
But I'm all I need
Courage through struggle
It means everything
This bloodletting
Cures my disease
All you Never gave
And left with me
I bathed in blood
The worst fate is your own
Self created, completely alone
Do all you can to forget
This prison built by regret
Right now
I claim
Your lies
And reclaim myself again
I will not regress again

Love & Forgiveness
If there is only one prescribed way to let go,
I am doomed to follow the fate I create.
To let you have That is Pyrrhic
And I would need knees for myself
No matter which way I play it.
Unless I'm sincere.
I can't foresee it.
You were the One.
You Are the one
I would never meet in Montauk.
Again.
In what passes for rest, you live.
And I carry you through the rest
Because I cannot give you what I need.
Your sin was breath and you revelled in it.
I ingested what was exhaled
And now I expel the blackness in this reality.
I perpetuate the pain.
Without mine, I can't imagine any for you.

The Malignant (No More)
One face, two lives
One wretched heart and two lies
Double tongued serpent
No one's fooled but you
Disease spreading slowly
Drowning, demoralized
Structure of decay
You want to steal my life
What defines you?
Cheating heart, guilty mind
A common whore
Solidified by your design
Your design
Your echoes of serenity
Your echoes of serenity
Were nothing but a lie
Every night I dream of you
I want to know all the truths
But you are dead
I've buried you
Yet you won't leave me
Nothing more glorious
Than being set free
I'm not carrying this any more
Let the weight anchor you down
Without me, you selfish whore
You will drown
Drown

Hopeless Romantic
OH
OH, Where do I start?
Always with her lips apart
She said she's too busy for love
You know it means I wasn't enough
Sorry Soulless Eyes
You know they steal my heart
Sorry not sorry, Darling
I just want to tear your lips apart
Melodramatic
She said I'm a hopeless romantic
What part about hopeless
Do you all not understand?
I beg your pardon
Like I would a slow death
Let me inside, darling
As if I never left
And for any woman wanting
To be my muse
I can tell you must have a
Penchant for wanting to be used
Melodramatic
She said I'm a hopeless romantic
What part about hopeless
Do you all not understand?
You said I'm a hopeless romantic
Isn't this what you, you wanted?
Isn't this what you wanted?
Isn't this what you wanted?
Isn't this what you wanted?
Bitter until the bitter end

Mediocrity is King

Mediocrity is King
You can’t deny how much you’re in control
One hand, at least one hand, that holds you down
Is your very own
And you don’t know that you embrace it, you embrace that
Mediocrity is King
Stagnate. Ignorance is bliss
Mediocrity is King
Waste away with the world
Find comfort, find hope in everything you own
But you borrow every thought you have
Find comfort, find hope, in the fact you’re not alone
Mass company, mass grave; it’s so safe, oh, isn't it safe?
Is ignorance bliss? Yes.
Mediocrity is King
Stagnate. Ignorance is bliss
Mediocrity is King
Waste away with the world
They’ll applaud every minute movement you make
You’ll feel accomplished for every breath that you take
But you’re a thief for every second you waste
Rewarded for every opportunity you've disgraced
Is ignorance
Is ignorance bliss? Yes.
