Do you really want to know
Where we’ve been before
It’s a haunting history of
Confusion and gore
Kept awake by memories
Rather forget from way back
Staring at my ceiling
Watching the nightmares stare back
Dead or alive soon
I won’t make myself a fool
Serpents waiting in the sand
Choked and battered
Never felt better
I'm done with your petty little shit
Woah
You don't try
Not a care to life
You’d rather let it all rot
Cant see beyond the horizon
Time will go on
You’ll be left to the maw
Hyperdaze into space
While your consciousness melts from the inside
Dead or alive soon
I won’t make myself a fool
Serpents waiting in the sand
Choked and battered
Never felt better
I'm done with your petty little shit
I'm done with your petty little shit
Life is so mysterious sometimes
Some things we’ll never know why
And that’s ok
Don’t try to be a hero
You’ll find yourself at zero
Just remember the little things
Dead or alive soon
I won’t make myself a fool
Serpents waiting in the sand
Choked and battered
Never felt better
I'm done with your petty little shit
Yeah

Flash Flood

I’ve had enough of the “powers that be”
Stomping below with fervor and glee
Won’t stop punching below their weight class
All the while their heads up their ass
Seemingly aware to the struggles of the scorned
And yet only for the dollar you mourn
Rape and pillage from great mother Earth
Did all the profit finally make it worth?
Empires rise and fall
But you’re the hardest fall of all
The world breaking down all around you
And you’re so happy to bid it adieu
Swim as you might you can’t escape the coming flash flood
Bleeding in the water yeah the sharks can smell the blood
Thrashing won’t get you anywhere
You can only tread for so long
I don’t need you to understand
I want better than the hand I've been dealt
Pour the gold down their throats
To quench their thirst for wealth
Dance in the ruins of the empire
Revelations, the situation is dire
You no longer hold the reigns
Dropping, falling, lie in wake
Pray for salvation
Blood moon rising, black rose blooms
Withered, abandoned, only consume
Where is your god now?
Swim as you might you can’t escape the coming flash flood
Bleeding in the water yeah the sharks can smell the blood
Thrashing won’t get you anywhere
You can only tread for so long
Eagle, soaring in the clouds with pride
Tumor, cancerous growth consuming
Everything and everyone
Only to make more
David, righteous death stand unbroken
Goliath, slaughtering innocents
You are both, two-faced, liar condemned
Hypocrisy will kill us all
Sun and moon, heads and tails, yin and yang
Rivers have dried and forests leveled
Yet you still deny Gaia will die
Doom is upon us
Welcome to your new reality
The world lies in ashes
The book of humanity has ended
Funeral pyre for the masses

How does it feel?
To be the great flood?
Cleaving through earth and bone like it’s nothing.
There was no plagues of warning,
There was no ark of savior,
Only destruction.
This is what your greed got you.
This is what your taking got you.
Are you happy now?
Was it all worth it, to watch those numbers just go up and up and up?
All that suffering?
All that pain?
I hope it was.
Look where it got you.

Redston Road

This place don’t feel like home
Echoes of the past leaving haunting notes
Reminders
Of a time when things were different
Listen you can hear them singing
Screaming
Redston Road
is calling me home
3220
won’t throw me a bone
Just let me go back
Sunday market on a quiet afternoon
Palace on the hill fortress of solitude
Green hills rolling
My father smiling the dog running free
Last time I saw him happy for a year or two or three
We left it behind
Redston Road
is calling me home
3220
won’t throw me a bone
Mirror with a crack
Home is such a strange thing
Where we spend most of our time
Yet we still we miss it
Feeling homesick such a crime
Called many places home
478 to 1401
Have a hard time centering
When I’ve always been on the run
All roads lead somewhere
Take me away
Pick one and go
Try to escape the fray
Moving unto greener pastures
Learning to let go
Time heals all wounds
Give me time to grow
Redston Road
is calling me home
3220
won’t throw me a bone
Just let me go back

Smoke & Mirrors

You try to look away
Hide your face from steely gaze
So much anger and hate it
feels like you just want an excuse to be irate
It always seemed so wrong
Why did it take this damn long
Confused with annoyance and anger
And I can’t help but see a pattern
So much smoke and mirrors
Can’t see what’s right in front of me
Let the fog roll away
I can finally see
All this smoke and mirrors
My head feels like a hurricane
Let the clouds roll away
I can finally feel sane
These things can become so hard
Life sometimes can beat you past your guard
Time could slow to a lull in
Situations out of my control
You can’t seem to listen to others
Stuck in your very own echo chamber
It’s like walking on eggshells with no shoes
And worst of all I think I got this from you
Can’t see through blinding light
Get lost in the corners of my mind
You don’t scare me any more
All these years trapped inside my head
Learning what it takes to not feel so dead
I’ve finally settled the score
Late nights no sleep dwell on my dreams
Consciousness lingering on the seam
I really fucking abhor
All this needless tension
You just need to pay attention
So much smoke and mirrors
Can’t see what’s right in front of me
Let the fog roll away
I can finally see
All this smoke and mirrors
My head feels like a hurricane
Let the clouds roll away
I can finally feel sane
Smoke and mirrors
Misty light in my stride
Hurricane in my head
Gives way to clear skies
