It's Coming

I ran until my feet went numb
Like acupuncture, every step I took
Struck me like a needle gun
Wouldn't stop 'til I was done
The ghost, it latches paces back
And rushes forward just to close the gap
Psychological attacks
Can't stop now, won't look back
All my friends and family
Have an air of apathy
Or maybe they don't wanna see
That it's a reality
It's coming and it can't be stopped
Make sure that the door is locked
It doesn't care what fight you've fought
It finds its way and gets the drop
And it finds you, and it takes you
And it finds you, and it takes you
And it finds you, and it takes you
And it finds you, and it takes you
I don't think I thought ahead
And I don't think I know what happens next
I don't trust what no one's said
But I don't think I wanna know
God, I think I'm losing touch
I did everything I'm meant to do
Why do I still have to run?
Why do I still have to run?
It follows everyone I know
It follows everyone I love
It follows all who ever thought
It follows, follows, follows, follows
And it finds you, and it takes you
And it finds you, and it takes you
And it finds you, and it takes you
And it finds you...
Ah!
Oh!
Oh, no!
Oh, fuck!
C'mon motherfucker!
Ah!
It's coming, coming, coming, coming
It's coming, coming, coming, coming
It's coming, coming, coming, coming
It's coming, coming, coming, coming
It's coming, coming, coming, coming
It's coming, coming, coming, coming
It's coming, coming, coming, coming
It's coming, coming, coming, coming
It's coming
It's coming
It's coming
It's coming, coming, coming, coming

The Dance

Maybe
I'm too small to think about such big things
False kings
I'm not unique
It's just part of the age
And maybe
I've been spending too much time just worrying
About everything
The sores have taken stage
And they're killing me
And maybe
Being forgotten ain't such a bad thing
So why sing?
'Cause life's not a stage
But I keep on dancing
And maybe
I shouldn't be making strangers so happy
That's not me
I'm just holding on
To what I can show
And if you cared
You'd stop me from holding my breath too long
Or from dying another day
Low flying cameras
Hunt you down anywhere you are
And give you your crown
Cigarettes and torn shoes
Show you you've got nothing else
But they'll still wanna cheer
I never thought I would end up losing my patience
And make my art in a day or two for new kicks
You'll hold onto your rope while you light up a smoke
In the end you'll be gone
And then no one remembers your name

Agape

It was years ago
They would wake me up
And in the temple stand
To sing songs he loved
It fell short of convincing
After a couple of years
When mother stopped going
And father never dared
But I still have those thoughts
Despite how much I try
Despite how much I get clean
I can't shake the ghost
That something is there
That sees value in soul
And who's love spreads to hatred
In misconstrued prose
Or never existed
No one really knows
It's a hell of a ride
Unsure where you'll go
Maybe stay in the middle
The worst fate of all
Starting to come undone
The places I've been running from
Hoping to feel brand new
Deafening silence that separates you from me
Now I begin to see the sun shining
But what does it matter to me?
It matters to me
I don't want to go
The light's too bright
Or too dim, I don't know
I just want to stay home
If I give up a piece
Is it worth the fight?
I don't want to go to Hell
But I think that I might

I could've been better
And I know all the things I've done
The theft of innocence and picture shows
Have left us weak and shamed
But it's not too late to grow
If you want to, I'll drive you home
I'll care for nothing more than this
For you

Ingenuine Numbers

There's a coat by the front door
Hasn't been touched in days
It just harbors dust
She hasn't seen the light of day in a week or so
She's been fighting for the cause
The numbers game
But she can't stop now
She won't hold back
The colossus is coming right behind her back
And she's spiraling out of control
She'll make sure that everybody knows
In a glorious display
I'll change the world for myself
And I just don't care how that is
If all of these machines do as they' d promised us
All of the victims will give us the love we deserve
She feels the tension getting higher
But she's been forced all in
It's for the cause
Yeah, nothing's been the same
Since the God complex
Out of her lane
Then onto something else
No one needed your help
You set the bar too high for yourself
In a glorious display
I change the world for myself
In flashy attire
I don't care if it's genuine
It'll happen again and again and again
It'll happen again and again and again
It'll happen again and again and again
It'll happen again and again and again
And it'll happen again and again and again
It'll happen again and again and again
And it'll happen again and again and again
It'll happen again and again and again

Hypochondriasis

I was dying last week
That's what the journal said
Despite the dried-up hands and breaking skin
I'm the worst I've ever been
I don't see my friends no more
Just the thought makes me recoil
I know the air they breathe is volatile
I think I'll be here for a while
Because my welfare is in check
I feel decaying as we speak
Time's moving too fast and too slow all at once
Like how it eats up at your cheeks
And forgoes all common sense
Makes you abandon ship
I know it's really hard when the contrast's this stark
I think I might just sink away
But in a world with forest fires and hurricanes
I still come undone
With made-up ills and perfect features
I still come undone
Time falls
And in place, it spins
Fear holds you
Holds you back
Takes the reins
It's procedure
In memories
We will be whole
But in a world with forest fires and hurricanes
I still come undone
With made-up ills and perfect features
I come undone
But what if I look too hard and make it true
I won't have no repose
And if I do this too much more
I won't know me at all

The Man In My Castle
05:38
|
|||
|
There's a man in my castle
With a serpent tongue
And claws for hands
He's got a plastic crown
And a rule
Over me
He just wanted his conquest
Without the caveat
And he got his wish
He's tried to make a better me
With a different POV
I' d never be his
And I keep asking, "Is this it?"
Yeah, there's a man in my castle
Who feels the threat of a complex
That don't exist
I'll never be yours
No, I'll never be yours
If nothing else, I'm competition
You invented the war
And maybe in a couple years
We'll meet and settle the score
But until then I'm falling, falling, falling...
But maybe I could be the issue
But what could I do when the TV blares?
When words are met with spite
The all-familiar bite
I'll never be enough
And I'm sorry...
Am I good enough to be yours?
Am I good enough to be yours?

It's Here
03:44
|

|
I can't run anymore
I'm too tired
And I'm done making up answers out of dust
When I'm scared
It's a beautiful thing to accept
But maybe not so much
When it's taken all you love
And thrown it disfigured in the bin
I guess that's just another part of living

Arcana Continua
by we hold hands and we jump
supported by 57 fans who also own “The Colossus Is Coming”
The album opens with the soft, almost hymnal chords from a piano, building at times to melodic cacophony (complimentary) before settling back down in it's final track. The vivid lyricism and powerful vocals throughout are incredible. Well worth picking up!!
