Shadows Remain

We are all cursed to live
In the shadow of the valley of death
A brothers touch
Now lost forever
No more embrace
But the bond won’t be severed
I take a breath
And I feel the hatred fill my veins
This could be yours
But you let the poison take it away
Look back to the days
When we had so much to say
Our teenage ambitions, our hopes
Our simple naive dreams
But years passed
And we weren’t immune to change
Thought I was drowning with you
But you were drowning the same
Pushed onward
Self-destruction followed
You left your family
Begging for you back
As they carried your coffin
And dreamed a life you could’ve had
I am forced
To summon memories
Just to watch them slip away
Whispered words
Nothing to say
The lattice breaks
Under the weight of my pain
Severed ties
Ever beyond escape
The sun is dead
But the shadow remains
How do I end this
I’ve never felt this cold
I sit and pretend
That you’re still coming home
Let shadows die
In the absence of light
Shadows Remain
Whispered words
Nothing to say
The lattice breaks
Under weight of my pain
Severed ties
Ever beyond escape
The sun is dead
But the shadow remains
How do I end this
I’ve never felt this cold
I sit and pretend
That you’re still coming home

The Company You Keep
03:52

Fall down to the dirt
With the winds of
Hell at your back
Scream again in terror
While the cold runs up your spine and
Shiver in disgust at
The company you keep
Choking
Suffocated by the world you've built
Around your fucking self
The temptation consumes you
Another shot, another pill
That you can't leave behind
Then the serpents inside of your circle begin to constrict you
You never cared about the cost and now you'll pay the price
What's it gonna fucking cost
Before it costs your life
It grows so confounding
All these years, still nothing has changed
Insipid little rats run wild
Suicidal when they learn that they
Bleed
You think
That you suffered
Suffer unto me
When darkness falls
And your vices call their debts
Know you paved your path
Through the valley of death
Fall down to the dirt
With the winds of
Hell at your back
Scream again in terror
While the cold runs up your spine and
Shiver in disgust at
The company you keep
So stay fucking mad at the world
Like you got something to prove
Death's a state of mind
But what's that mean to you
You can cry about the pain til you lose your voice
But I could stab you in the heart and you'd still miss the fucking point
Forgiveness
Is a luxury that you will never
See
Lay yourself to rest
And dream a dream of what you'll never be
Remember
Before you speak
Your word only carries the weight
Of the company you keep

The Negative, Pt. 2
03:15

Motherfucking bitch
Bleed through your words
And let the ink stain
Over the image
That I can finally see through
Feign your support
Then stab the knife still deeper in my back
Use it as leverage just to pull me fucking down
Dead messiahs fall
I found my salvation
Stretched out on the open road
The streets are paved in blood
But still shine as if gold
And yet the hounds of hell
Still follow me close
They shake my hand with a smile
With their fangs at my throat
Just idols
Made of wax under the sunlight
And now I’ve realized
The God that lives in filth
Is the God that lives in me
Step beyond the curtain
I am all that you are
I am all that you seek
You seek the suffering
That continues to curse my name
Motherfucker
Dead messiahs fall
Another cold night
Gives way to a beautiful mourning
The Negative dwells within me
In a place where no light shines
Where my reflection dies
I let a man made god
Guide me by the hand to hell
