The way you lie
Makes a fool of me
Time and time again
Let this journey unfold
I've never felt like this before
All the ways you make me feel
I don't know where to go from here
These times and how they meant oh so much to me
What happens now when it comes home tonight
Yeah
These walls that I've built
These walls that I've built
Never let them come down
I don't know where to go from here
These times and how they meant oh so much to me
What happens now when it comes home tonight

Bearer of Bottles

Bottle it up like before
Could you rival what I've stored
I can't tell a soul
Would anyone want to hear
Fill it up but it's always full
Fill it up to the top just because
I've been living in a room with many eyes
Where does this elevator go
I don't know it always seems to go down
What's at the bottom of the pit
Bearer of bottles
Where does this elevator go
I don't know it always seems to go down
What's at the bottom of the pit
Bearer of bottles
These things overflow in my mind
There were things you could never hide
I can't tell a soul
Would anyone want to hear
Fill it up but it's always full
Fill it up to the top just because
I've been living in a room with many eyes
Where does this elevator go
I don't know it always seems to go down
What's at the bottom of the pit
Bearer of bottles
Where does this elevator go
I don't know it always seems to go down
What's at the bottom of the pit
Bearer of bottles

Porcelain Prison

I don't know where we're going
Could ya tell me if I asked politely
All bound up in the backseat
But I can see city lights
The loss of blood you think I'm bothered
But strangely I don't mind
You there you must atone for your sin
You there the one who bathes in blood
You there you must atone for your sin
You there the one who bathes in blood

And If you stay here
Could you take it any longer
Been searching for some truth
Taste forbidden fruit
These changes
Happen over time
Form from the woe
Of what happened long ago
Take your time
You'll be fine
Then you'll see
What's meant to be
Close your eyes
And realize
Truth won't lie
Love won't die
And If you stay here
Could it last forever
Even if it's something
You were meant to sever
Love from a distance
Words never spoken
Wake up in the morning
Still feeling broken
Take my time
I'll be fine
Then we'll see
What's meant to be
Close my eyes
To realize
Truth won't lie
You'll see why

Lions in the Spire
03:02
|
|||
Spirits in a cage
Old man with a cane
I walk this path
The usual wrath
Light the room
In my youth
Lions in the spire
Eternal youth
And I, I won't wither away
And this you know
I won't wither away
Ever again
Ever again
Over in a flash
Come down in a crash
This life of blight
Someday they'll know
I was right
Light the room
In my youth
Lions in the spire
Eternal youth
And I, I won't wither away
And this you know
I won't wither away
Ever again
Ever again

Apparition Apothecary
04:04
|
|||
I've been in search of some medicine
Light bulbs going off feeling like Edison
Bright idea to take it to a stranger
Unforeseen were the things that I'd wager
Came a long way in this new space
Still in orbit with your transparent face
Reality crashing with the load
Got a bug in the code because you let in a toad yeah
For awhile I was feeling fine
Until I got swallowed whole by the hive mind
Smiles in a field of flowers
Doing this should get me paid by the hour
Coin now a days ain't an issue but
A bit of love man someone to commit to
Hindsight it makes a lot of sense
Pull them in when they're tied down sitting on the fence
Chat up the poltergeist looking for the potion
Did my thing with the sheets set some things in motion
Somehow I overlook the many flaws
Same place as before still fond of the claws
Chat up the poltergeist looking for the potion
Did my thing with the sheets set some things in motion
Somehow I overlook the many flaws
Same place as before still fond of the claws
Apparition Apothecary
Try it once results may vary
Blades slicing me go to parry
Straws on this camel's back are hard to carry
You really had me going there
Got me weak running your fingers through my hair
Only way I can tolerate your narrative
And I'll be damned with this dull ass imperative
But times were had and I had me some scissors
Trail went cold man left in the blizzard
Freezing up thinking about my type
Probably why I'm out here getting all this frost bite
What makes them think I wanna talk to ghosts
Rather break out the Ouija board and raise a toast
Takes a lot to reach a point of forgiving
Now I trust the dead more than the living
Reach the finish line now it's set in stone
Right now I'm just looking for a bone
I apologize for all the honesty
Second thought no I'm done with the modesty
Chat up the poltergeist looking for the potion
Did my thing with the sheets set some things in motion
Somehow I overlook the many flaws
Same place as before still fond of the claws
Chat up the poltergeist looking for the potion
Did my thing with the sheets set some things in motion
Somehow I overlook the many flaws
Same place as before still fond of the claws

No Place for Snakes
03:49
|

Think you're sly
Take your shots
I'll be here to swat the flies
Friend or foe
I can't tell
But I'll be here to say hello
Try as you might
Add some years but yet to bridge the gap
Forced to something new
Find your way out just check the map
Did you see that?
They hide in the grass
Because there is no place for snakes
They hide in the grass
Because there is no place for snakes
Think you care
Burdens to bear
A knife held behind the back
When in doubt
Check it out
And watch the poison spread all about
Try as you might
Add some years but yet to bridge the gap
Forced to something new
Find your way out just check the map
Did you see that?
They hide in the grass
Because there is no place for snakes
They hide in the grass
Because there is no place for snakes
Here comes a soul
It takes it's toll
The ends a lifetime away
And you can't change a thing
What would it bring
There's no place for snakes
Here comes a soul
It takes it's toll
The ends a lifetime away
And you can't change a thing
What would it bring
There's no place for snakes

Temple of Locked Doors
03:21

Doors as far as the eyes can see
Give them a knock if you lack a key
Eternity of waiting on the lawn
When they answer I'm already gone
The problem here is they lack respect
Perception is off last time I checked
Strike the ceiling made of glass
Find your footing on some greener grass
The path is clear
Forward we march
The path is clear
Forward we march
The Hollowness spreads as far as can be
You might of taken them but you won't take me
Have a few things I still have to do
Do they remember what they were to pursue
Caught up in the game and time is a waste
When we die we'll be replaced
Pass yourself on and hand the baton
Gather some years and see what you spawn
The path is clear
Forward we march
The path is clear
Forward we march

Forlorn Farewell
03:55
|
|||
All faded now reduced to a stranger
And after time went by something changed her
Missed were what she used to be
No use to try and intervene
Stare at the mirror and see
The reason it came to be
I am forgotten
And Forlorn
Would you rather be
In a place you don't belong anymore
I am forgotten
And Forlorn
Would you rather be
In a place you don't belong anymore
Can it be found something like I had before
Turn the knob but can't open the door
Still clutch to a piece of debris
Slowly drown as I'm lost at sea
I'm sorry and fair winds
As I continue this odyssey
I am forgotten
And Forlorn
Would you rather be
In a place you don't belong anymore
I am forgotten
And Forlorn
Would you rather be
In a place you don't belong anymore

Dead to Me
04:07
|
|||
You don't have to pretend
It's written all over your face
Soften the blow
With a bit of praise
Not so bad
For the one who bears fangs
How long that I couldn't see
And how long they made me believe
How long do they want to stifle me
And I know it's dead to me
Unfortunate
But the parade marches on
I've got 40 hands in this machine
They can't press on
And that I know
Here's to a new world
In the palm of my hand
How long that I couldn't see
And how long they made me believe
How long do they want to stifle me
And I know it's dead to me
