No Gods, Only Monsters
03:53

No one has to know
and I won’t say a goddamn thing but
if our cover blows
there can be nothing fo us to bring back to life
Or we could pretend
all the blood isn’t coming from us
and it will find its end
before tomorrow can crush us back into dust
As we looked one step ahead
But never beyond
Like your hands are clean
Like the future just comes at a cost
But who has to bleed
Who has to give up the things that we have lost
I woke up so brave
I never looked away
I woke up so brave
But I’ll go to bed afraid
We’ll be martyred when there’s nothing to save
Where once we turned the world, now we’re just spinning in our graves
And our, our creation gets fat on the fear
Vomiting the future til the future disappears
Can you hear the screams?
Can you feel the infection spreading?
But it’s too hard to clean
so thoughts and prayers are the best you’re getting now
As we find it’s already been done
Waiting for the enemy,
but we’ve become the ones who bore
a new world where it is violently clear
the gods never showed, but the monsters are here
We’ll be martyred when there’s nothing to save
Where once we turned the world, now we’re just spinning in our graves
And our, our creation gets fat on the fear
Vomiting the future til the future disappears
Everything’s perfect
Everything’s fine
but if it cannot be exploited
it gets left behind to be
cast aside as we march ahead
The body survives, but the dream is dead

In Your Name
03:47
|

We’re not so different now
Not like you would believe
You want to show them the way
I want them to be free
In all their times of heartache
through all their times of war
You said it was a trial
so you could give them more
So that they’d beg forgiveness
when there is nothing gained
You swear your hands are clean
but look at what they’ve done in your name
Look at what they’ve done in your name
Look at what they’ve done
You watched them crush each other
they built you a Trail of Tears
You silence was expected
but it’s not welcome here
I don’t need them to follow
I don’t need them to submit
You want to show them their place
and I won’t let them forget
2000 years of chances
the outcome’s all the same
Who cares if you forgive them
Look at what they’ve done
in your name
Look at what they’ve done in your name
Look at what they’ve done

Two Graves
03:59

I wish I were strong
Then I could let this go
But I can’t now
or maybe it’s just that I won’t
Cause it’s in my heart
and it’s become all I am
So much for the future
So much for the best laid plans
The clouds could roll away
The sun could shine again
You could show me how to leave
and still I’ll choose revenge
Cause I broke then
and I can never heal
Not that I want to
Because it’s all that I feel
I have nothing to lose
Everything is gone
and I keep going forward
but I never moved on
Don’t look so surprised
It’s eye for fucking eye
Still remember the day this began
but I’ve chased you so long
I don’t know who I am
I thought I’d waver
but I understand
that the choice is so easy
with you in my hand
There’s no fucking closure
this ever could bring
and it scares me to think
I would not change a thing
about where this led me
and what I will do
but you shattered my life
so I’m taking yours too
I think we both know
that this pain won’t go away
So you just lie there bleeding
and I’ll go dig two graves

Year of Our Lord
03:41
|
|||
I’m not a god, but I met
I met one yesterday
he took my heart in his hands
so I might see the way
this world is sick
and will die in a year’s time
But I know the way out
Our path is very clear
On the day of the snake
the fast begins
so we might shed our sins
In the circle of blame
we’ll carve our names
so he might
so he might forgive
Let’s pour the bleach into our eyes
Offer our sight up to the skies
If in your heart you seek the truth
Give a little piece of yourself as proof
Don’t let your tongue betray you
its worship makes you weak
Torn from it’s roots
it won’t displace you
from the path we seek
Where I am his hand
you are mine
We enact his plan
And our one regret is
missing the death of man
On the 14th day of the 7th month
in this year of our lord
Let’s cut the whites out of our eyes
offer them as sacrifice to the skies
So when our savior finally comes
He’ll know we’re the chosen ones

Road to Ruin
04:21
|
|||
The boot above you keeps you on the ground
and has you convinced your neighbor’s holding you down
So when you see them bleed,
you’ll say it’s for the best
if only to convince yourself that you won’t be next
For everything you’ve given them
know it will never save you
No matter what you tell yourself
they were never with you
so they cannot betray you now
Despite what you’re told
when the walls are closing in
you know you don’t have to pull
the road to ruin’s getting closer everyday
and you keep screaming that you know the way
We’ve been here before
and we’ve seen where it leads
poking every wound and making sure that it bleeds
and as it runs through the streets it oils up the machine
that’s eating our young to shit American dreams
What made you like this?
What froze your heart?
Why would you hold something together
when its built to tear you apart?
Look in the mirror at what you’ve become
and ask your reflection if you’re fucking nazi scum
Right on the wrong side of history
but destined to be last
Cause there has to be a future to remember the past
I know you think you'll make it through
but soon the low rung will be you
Despite what you’re told
when the walls are closing in
you know you don’t have to pull
the road to ruin’s getting closer everyday
and you keep screaming that you know the way
You can make a choice
You don’t have to stand by
You can fix yourself
Or you can fuck off and...

There is no magic tonight
No spell to make this all right
No light to show the way
Just one more debt to repay
Don’t look to the sky
A dark and starless heaven holds no comfort tonight
There is no limit to your tragedy
Not that you’ll ever see
You’ll get all that you can handle
Then you’ll get a little more
Cause we may have lost the battle
but we also lost the war
Don’t look to the sky
A dark and starless heaven holds no comfort tonight
Not for you and I
We made no future
now I don’t think that we can
We’re all dying just to see how it ends

Thousands of bodies
Never on display
So cut the funds
pull the plug
the problem goes away
The market will provide
its hand will show the way
to the motherfucking yacht
you’re paying for today
The system isn’t broken
it works as it was built
To chew you up
spit you out
and monetize the guilt
They don’t need a weapon
to bring you to your knees
as long as someone makes a dollar
every time you breathe
What’s it cost to live?
And how much to die?
Another couple of years
at a fair market price
But when that balance crushes me
Throw my body in the street because
If I go quietly
I want the world to see
They put a price on my head
Let’s clog their streets with our dead
When you make a choice
you have to see it through
so if you take my life
you get the body too
They put a price on your head
Let’s clog their streets with our dead

Yes, I Am Afraid
04:14
|
|||
Sing a song of the great beyond
to just get it out of your head
Everything will not be okay but let’s
let’s see who can pretend
If only for a second
If only for a while
If only while the music plays
cause yes, I am afraid
of a day that awaits
of a night that will not suffocate
of a wave that won’t break
Yes, we’re alone
this is all that there is
and the only thought more frightening
is a god that might forgive
what we tried to forget
what we hoped would fade away
Cause I remember the things we’ve done
and all
all the choices we’ve made
So yes, I am afraid
of a day that awaits
of a night that will not suffocate
of a wave that won’t break
Yes, we’re alone
This is all that there is
and the only thought more frightening
is a god that left us this
is not a warning
the time for that has passed
and we’ve made all our decisions
on who has not and who has
It’s darker than you realize
it’s later than you know
but the vultures will not circle
cause they run the goddamn show
So yes, I am afraid
of a day that awaits
of a night that will not suffocate
of a wave that won’t break
Yes, we’re alone
this is all that there is
and the only thought more frightening
is a god that might forgive

Only Shadows
05:29
|
|||
The light on your face
The wind in your hair
I couldn’t call it magic
but there’s something in the air
when our eyes lock
and there’s nothing to say
and we have is comfort
and that’s okay as
We hold hands and say goodbye
And in one brief flash we’ll watch the stars die
Our bodies melt away like snow
and our only consolation is that
we won’t know as
Our nerves let go
and the world falls behind
Only shadows remain
to show you were mine
It feels a little different today
all the empty promises are cast away
No more horizon
Tomorrow doesn’t matter
An invisible wall where our dreams lie shattered
And when our final night explodes
We may take our next step alone
I don’t know what to do
But right now
I’m just glad I’m with you
Our nerves let go
and the world falls behind
Only shadows remain
to show you were mine
