Total Immortal
-----------------------------------

Hope unknown
Sometimes just waking is surreal 
I walk right through the nameless ones
I know that hope's unknown
Sometimes the water feels so real
As I walk through it fills my lungs, my god, I'm drowning

This day never seems to end
This pain, never
This day never seems to end
The rage I can not let go
I hear them calling
I feel them gnawing out holes through flawless souls

So alone
Sometimes I swear that I can hear the taunting of the voiceless ones
I fear that I alone fear those ceased to feel they're alone inside of this place
I am the misplaced

This day never seems to end
This pain, never
This day never seems to end
The rage I can not let go
I hear them calling
I feel them gnawing out holes through flawless souls

Now every face, it looks familiar... then every face would melt away until.. now everyone, do you know, I know your deception
Now every face, it looks familiar... then every face would melt away until.. now everyone, do you know, I know your deception

I hear them calling
I feel them gnawing out holes through flawless souls
I hear them calling
I feel them gnawing out holes through flawless souls
I hear them calling
I feel them gnawing out holes through flawless souls

Six figures enter
They've come to destroy the world
hey've called together this storm almost every night
I awake in another place
A familiar voice with a stranger's face speaks more unheard words

What new friends will the day bring?
One for one thousand acquainted
What new home will the night bring?
When it all comes down you just throw the bones
On the way I saw five hours of sleep
On the way but your fire makes it all worth while
On the way I wrote words for you to keep
On the way

What new friends will the day bring?
One for one thousand acquainted
What new home will the night bring?
When it all comes down you just throw the bones

On the way I saw five hours of sleep
On the way but your fire makes it all worth while
On the way I wrote words for you to keep
On the way
I saw myself
Lost myself along the way.

And you defy me

On the way I saw five hours of sleep
On the way but your fire makes it all worth while
On the way I wrote words for you to keep
On the way

God Called In Sick Today
--------------------------------------------


Let's admire the pattern forming
Murderous filigree
I'm caught in the twisting of the vine
Go ascend with ivy, climbing
Ignore and leave for me the headstone crumbling behind

I can't help my laughter as she cries
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes

Let's amend the classic story, close it so beautifully, I'll let animosity unwind
Steal away the darkened pages, hidden so shamefully
I'll still feel the violence of the lines

I can't stand my laughter as they cry
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes
And miles away my mother cries
Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence 

I can't stand my laughter as they cry
My soul brings tears to angelic eyes
And miles away my mother cries
Omnipotence, nurturing malevolence

Wake-up Call
-------------------------------


If I had my way I'd wish them all away, but I can't find the magic inside of me
I'll give my best, 'cause I can give no more, but your problems aren't solved so easily
I'm not someone that you should run to
I've been, often, as broken as you, more often than you'd like me to
If I could heal all the pain that you feel, I'd gladly cure all that ails you inside
Unfortunately, I have no degree and I can not anesthetize

I'm not someone that you should run to
I've been, often, as broken as you, more often than you'd like me to
I wish that I could help you
I can't even help myself
It seems you need a saving grace and a savior's something I'm not
I wish that I could help you
I can't even help myself
It seems you need a saving grace and a savior's something I'm not

Who Said You Can Touch Me
--------------------------------------------------


You don't know I am so, you can not get close to me and I don't know who you are, so just leave me alone
I know you can't believe the anxiety you're causing me and I know you can't believe your fake compassion I don't need

Get away from me, You're standing too close
Keep your hands off of me
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone, who said you could touch me anyway? 
Don't try to rub my shoulders and don't try to hold my hand
Don't try to give me a fucking hug
You crawl to me as if I were your very best friend
I don't even know your name

Get away from me, You're standing too close
Keep your hands off of me
Keep away from me, Just leave me alone, who said you could touch me anyway?
