Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

Bang
03:52
|

|
So many things I never expressed
Things will move on and things will digress
And you will believe what you want to believe
But I'm not the one who decided all this
You're so many things that I would never expect
I cannot believe that this has become a test
You can deceive who you want to deceive
And I'm not the one who really wanted all this
So slow
Bang... it was over
I'm sorry I couldn't drag this out
I'm sorry I couldn't keep this mask on
I'm sorry I couldn't be your rockstar anymore

Bury Me

It's so much more to me to be these things
Cannot believe I've gone and let myself go
This one night I went out and sold my soul
One taste of this and it burns my throat and it's burning right through me
And the stabbing inside feels like razors inside and it's breaking right through me
So much to offer when you're 23
To be as healthy as me
When I'm lucky to even breathe
And I know I have the key
And it's where I hide
But it's worth a try to get inside
And open up the door
One taste of this and it burns my throat and it's burning right through me
And the stabbing inside feels like razors inside and it's breaking right through me
It's my breath I miss, it's my breath I wish could be flowing right through me
And I know this all is my own damn fault but it's burning right through me
It's so much more
Cannot believe I'm gone
Tonight I'm all alone
With nothing left but emptiness inside

Threaded by no proof, segregated rules
The jury holds the hand, where innocence began.
"There's only one way." Take the other side.
Unless you'd rather stay, confess what you have lied.
Haunting every step, this memory I've kept.
This answer cannot be, this question shadows me.
Want to know the truth.
Want to understand.
Want to know just, what it is I am.
I want to feel you.
But once again, there was no plan.
...understand a lie.
Crawling from the depths, this shadow never slept.
It waited all this time, to sliver up my spine.
To whisper in my ear, these things that I should fear.
What is there for me, once I cannot be?
Want to know the truth.
Want to understand.
Want to know if, I'm forever damned.
And I'll ask you...
The Question...

The Question
07:11
|
|||
|
Is there anything beyond this pain?
Beyond this life?
Beyond what I see, all around me everywhere?
When my blood runs out, will it all end there?
Is there anything at all?
Is there hell to pay, for the life I've made?
Is there anything?
Is there only end, after all is spent?
Is there anything?
Is there something great, beyond all this hate?
Is there anything?
Is there anything at all? Anywhere to fall?
The answer cannot be, this question shadows me.

The Blueprint

Another glimmer around your face
I've never felt so alone as I do right now... here with you
You thought I would always be there
Your loving moon to hold onto
And all the while I was planning my escape

Listen through these ears
An impulse to my brain
Think about my fears
Always drive me insane
Think about the past
All the things I should have said
Looking through those tears
An impulse to get away... I was afraid
My hands are numb
My feet are numb
I think I'm falling asleep at the wheel
Staying awake to steer
An impulse to my brain
Think about nothing
Veering off the edge
Think about the past
Bigger jump from the ledge
Sleeping through those years
No impulse to my brain... but where am I?
I'm not dead
I feel fine
I'm just tired
And thinking about the past
My hands are numb
My feet are numb
I know I'm falling asleep at the wheel
But I just can't wake up

Hypocrite
02:13

You hypocrite
You are so perfect
You never do wrong
You're God
You're so right
Everything inside your head is the truth
You never lie... even to yourself
One day it all will come back down to you
You'll hold onto it
You will follow truth and learn
It's in your head

The Cage
04:42
|
|||
|
Slowly breathing, staring, and seething
This is not me, in this cage I cannot leave,
There must be a key, deep within me
Tearing inside me
Tearing inside me
I'm sorry
But I can't breathe
I'm sorry
Locked inside, metal shell, holding, and closing
Stick my arm out of this cage I cannot leave
Just to feel relief, deep within me
Tearing... breaking through
Tearing... my way out
I'm sorry, but I must leave
What the future holds I can't see
Fighting, yelling, screaming out
Saying things we can't take back
Can't live in this anymore
I'm breaking through this door
And you say, "I'm sorry"
And I say, "I'm sorry"
And I'm sorry

My Son
03:22

I miss my son
With everyday
That goes by slow,
He's away
I miss my son.
I miss so much
He's learned so much
It hurts so much
I've changed my life
I've come so far...
To get knocked down
and held ajar
I miss my son,
What can I do?
I miss my son

Bury You

Where is my son?
What did I do?
Why can't I see him?
Why am I expected to take him?

And Again
08:43

Helpless, we crawl inside the larva of this disease
Feed it only to withstain something unseen
After all, we always have
Holding, grasping, cradling a way to wound
All my answers to your questions seem too soon
After all, it's only me, and who is betting on me?
Turning inward, I cry for some kind of relief
My face turns as your fist demands defeat
After all, I only bleed
Holding, grasping, cradling my son again
All my answers to your questions turn to sand
After all, it's only me, and who is betting on me?
After all, I only bleed, so who would dare bet on me?

Maybe
05:42
|
|||
|
Maybe this doesn't exist, maybe I'm wrong
This animosity I see through
If it's all my fault, would I be here now?
This open sore, a way to get out
A way to avenge my exit
I wish
But there's no other way
I try
But there's no other way
By force
I take back
My rights
They should have
Been mine
All along
I wish
I try
But there's no other way
Try anything, try anything
But there is no other way

Pressure Mine
by Author & Punisher
Dark electronic music gets warped and clobbered on the latest from Author & Punisher. Brooding, cutting, and claustrophobic.
