lyrics

isolation intoxication
i am the river
keep sinking through me
you stand for nothing

your sermon's filled with empty words
your mirror doesn't show you truth
a fucking coward's looking back at you
you're giving up on me
i'm giving up on you, too

take control
love in fear
grind the axe

we formed one beating heart molded by the cast
now it's in pieces haunted by the past
i'm not anyone that i know
i'm just a ghost and now i have to go

every day we're alive we're at war with what's inside

---

thumbing through photographs, he left a personal touch the keepsakes hadn't had in ages
his soiled spirit sunk into dark places, mocking him and the shovel he dug graves with
worse, he was sure he hadn't dug enough for the no-body-count he'd amassed and yet...
he tossed the nameless images with cold conviction and precision in the vindictive abandonment
oh this grave was personal, you could say "he made it his own"
only after swallowing pride could he stomach another's embrace
no longer would he present graves to those no longer present
no longer would he lock himself into the lie that he was not the key
when love meets fear, fear always wins
and a life kept secret is a forgotten death never mourned,
the secret is to let the secret out
