Frost Bite 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Cracks in the glass as in veins or in vase pupils are shattered and vision's distorted frost bit like a dog and I am down barking away while it gnaws at my leg so this is the life I am leading now - getting crushed by pressure I could feel every pound so this is the legacy I leave behind - destroy everything for the higher ground and so this is the life of a broken man - dead and blue as I blew the last breath on the last limb ice is up past my knee going to keep going 'till I'm gone completely transcend into the land of the frost numbing to nothing i tried but i lost so this is the world we are leading now - the problems are but we're deaf despite the sound so this is the legacy we leave behind - destroy each other for the higher ground and so this is the life of a broken world - dead and gray as we gave the last grave cracks in the spine as in life or in mine colds got me down and my heart is horrid time is now gone hand clinched in a fist grasping for more try to catch but they miss so this is my life completely frozen over so this is the world completely frozen over dead and gray as we gave the last grave

Ambition 03:02
lyrics

I was looking at my feet dangling and hanging there like what is tighter the rope or my tension you know you can't think straight when you are suspended departed let me leave the room ash a cig or two what's the difference between fear and ambition cause they keep pushing say I've got to keep going so you cant stop me now what'd i find at the bottom of the bottle yeah I'm boasting but bloating I'm walking but stumbling feeling empty and tripping add a can to the collection I'm swaying in a way tranquil but a shame so what's the difference between stunting and falling not growing or climbing just steady declining can't stop me now what the fuck is going on - I'm so fucking lost right now what's the difference between fear and ambition what's the difference between stunting and falling cant stop me now

I'm a falling tree in a forest but no one, no one can hear me damnation this word is eerie bitch and moan but no one can hear me antagonize particular feelings tug and pull upon my heart strings I'm a falling tree in a forest but no one, no one car hear me petrified this world is eerie but if I'm loud enough they will fear me antagonize particular feelings tug and pull upon my heart strings I'm a falling tree in a forest but no one, no one can hear me damnation this word is eerie bitch and moan but no one can hear me antagonize particular feelings cause your lies heeded from beginning now I'm trapped in a small room now I'm trapped in your falsehood now I'm hearing ringing distortion now I'm hearing my own frustration cabin fever yeah

Hibernation 02:48
lyrics

walking on a wrinkle on a blanket of time unraveling the thread as my life goes by flowing in and out of existence a memory for them or faint resonance I could be dreaming something better but I'm stuck inside a 'mare reoccurring melodies that clash inside my ear so I want to hibernate and sleep away the years so induce the sedatives pretended that i never cared let the fire run finger burned on this lighter didn't feel pain wonder why I'm so idle could it be boredom or depression? I've been gone for a while are they remembering? I could be living something better but I'm stuck inside a prison rattling chains that shake with out a reason so I want to hibernate and sleep away the pain so induce the sedatives pretended that this life is quaint so I want to hibernate and sleep away the years so I want to hibernate and sleep away the pain now my eyes are ambient jaw cocked left like a broken bone accident got drool spewing out like Niagara and the crime scene detective's like "what have you done?"

Wildfire/ Reoccuring Burn 03:39
lyrics
buy track
how can I create an experience from the root of which does not exist? how can I create happiness for another when i am only a cut under? for the sake of a smile i am trying to find destroy everything during yuletide wiping the whole forest of its population just so i can survive during this set sanction dying and dying unsure of what happens next look for the genesis but it does not exist sparking and booming like lightning and thunder looking through my grave but there is nothing under they think this beauty can be born and kept but really we are all just torn and trapped for now it is the first cycle and someday it'll be the next but I'm losing the battle and I'm ready to quit Christmas is just another hole in a torn cloak just another happy time to bury this practical h joke everything we do just sets the town ablaze when we remove the masks it hits us like a wave know me down I sit and contemplate why I'm so weak i need a shield why I'm so weak I'm laying in the snow veiled remembered everything burns in this fiery tale taking the trees which give me life and building a box i guess this ending is right for now it is the first cycle and some day it'll be the next but I'm losings the battle and I'm ready to quit / Reoccurring Burn

Yuletide 03:28
lyrics

do I have to be reincarnated? re-emitted with less cognition less thinking of thoughts but more time to rot - now I'm wisps of ashes displaced by gusts and anything I can't do can be misconstrued as true - any one's idea I can only subdue and I think therefore I am a self-indulgent narcissist and a thousand other words but their meaning is unsure darkness eclipses the illumination - amnesia and happiness have a correlation learned that drowning through love is how life is lost - took and inferno to extract the cost like I had so much to be selfish for - inside I was empty like a shell on a shore and when I cracked I echoed because of lack of interior - thought nothing was important and I was inferior for so long I claimed I had no vision - finally found I was the opposition how could I be the worst of men - no longer opaque I am a transparent gem fire's not destruction it's the light that's love - as the glow reflects off sooted turtle doves I found something in that endless repetition - something like a series of chemical reactions so as in fire or as in love I provide the fuel found the meaning in yule don't sit around as time withers away and you complain and don't make a change you're living for you but you've got to live for them ain't that life oh ain't that life
