Last Ride

I came completely undone
When you told me I'm the one
Then we planned something wrong
So you asked me to come along
Come on over jump on in
I'll take you for a ride, lets go for a spin
Where we're going nobody knows
We'll stray from the road and avoid the law
I came in and grabbed the funds
Then you pulled out your shotgun
The talent and gold weighed a ton
"What in the hell have we done?"
Come on over jump on in
I'll take you for a ride, lets go for a spin
Where we're going nobody knows
We'll stray from the road and avoid the law
Might as well have some fun
Take their cash and shoot someone
Those men outside won't wait
To send us on to judgement day
Come on over hop on in
Going for a ride, being taken to the pen
Where we're going heaven only knows
We should've prayed to the Lord and obeyed the law

Animated by a creator I don't understand
Where did he go wrong?
An afflicted creature seeking peace, what he did to me
Can it be undone?
The Earth was cold, all alone
I was left for dead
An undertaking on me
Was I supposed to know and to follow what you said?
Thought you had enough of me
Fate awaited, something greater I'm at your command, just bring me along
A gruesome freak all but deceased, only blind men see
Just how I go on
The earth is cold, still alone
Can't give up just yet
Need a miracle to leave
This broken, hollowed out hell of a shell that is left
Of the man I used to be
Motivated navigator, I will search this land
for a place I belong
A brutal beast, I need relief from this misery
but my death be prolonged
I'll grow old all alone
Forgive none I've met
A being made up of disease
When a fallen angel goes malignant what do you expect?
Why from darkness he chose me

Let's Start

Oh my love
Life smiled on me
Gave me a reason
To finally be
No more lonely hearts
Oh my girl
Love's found us each
A fire that burns bright
and eternally
Those who came before still burn at night
And who you are, I'm sure
We've come so far
There's more
Beats in my heart
Let's start
All my life
I've sought some peace
And found it in the woman
Who stands in front of me
Some will sing along, but they don't know
Just who you are, I'm sure
We've come so far
There's more
Beats in your heart
Let's start

The Kraken

My prowess took a shot across the bow
Esoteric in the way it took me down
It manifested out of thin air
Can't fathom the depths that I've been
But it's way too deep
The deep blue sea
I know I might sink
But you're coming with me
Wave after wave I started to drown
The storm kept growing I saw evil abound
I cried out and yelled up to the sky
On a drifter you floated on by
The craft weighed anchor and pulled up ahead
I'd no idea if you left me for dead
So I reached out and grabbed it from the tide
When I climbed up something struck me in the side
And it's way too deep
This deep blue sea
You think I'll sink
But you're coming with me
Out of the darkness I saw it appear
The monstrous creature up from its lair
It wrecked your vessel left you gasping for air
Your captain's gone, what to do next?
And it's way too deep
It's the deepest sea
I know I'll sink
But that monster is me
Your sandcastle's been washed away
Left with nothing some would say
Could have just saved yourself
But instead you'll be
In the deep blue sea
And it's way too deep
Some will die alone,
But it won't be me

Sire and Heir
05:46
|

|
Do it the same way
As the man before
A path at my feet laid
So, who am I complaining?
I fall weak for
A land that's free from
These lines made of evil
A math built on heartache
All have numbered days
The penance and toll paid
Foolish not ashamed
I fall weak for
"A life that's peaceful"
These lines they seem primeval
A point of contest made
"Are the sire and heir same?"
From the man that you saw fade
To the (kids) children you didn't raise?
We fall weak for
A system that's equal
But these lines they need upheaval
To each their own
This life can give you more

I Believe
05:16
|

|
I believe
That we've seen
The best of both worlds
So you think you want change?
Things will never be the same
But you need
To believe
That you'll find a purpose
There is no other way
You aren't so perfect
I think you're going insane
I believe it's best to leave
When the echoes all deceive
So you think you are safe
That mask won't hide your mistakes
Think you'll need
Some relief
Get you a curtain
Block out another state
They'll miss you for certain
Lock you in something safe
Ohhh
My God
I believe
So you think we need
A reason to be saved
I feel quite certain
They don't even know your name
I believe
Do you see?
Or is it just me?
I believe
