Intro 03:03
2.
Hey, hey, hey Can you hear what I say? I'm layin' down in an empty grave I don't feel that my time will ever heal These winter trees are burning still And I'm laying own in the pine again A shameless man I've never been Layin' down in the pine again Tearin' off my dirty skin Down, down, down In the hollow is the sound Of wind that breathes the voice of you Through the way Are the faces that await Remember carving of the fate And I'm laying own in the pine again A shameless man I've never been Layin' down in the pine again Tearin' off my dirty skin
3.
Oh, the feelings I once had Now they're memories behind a ghost Oh, and the colors fade so fast Runnin' from the things I need the most I'm awake, frozen in time And I stay hollow inside In the grey that lies below Is the place that chains the ghost Oh, from grounded wasted cold I reach down beneath my sleeping soul Oh, the lucid dream is gone I pass through myself to let it go I'm awake, frozen in time And I stay hollow inside In the grey that lies below Is the place that chains the ghost
4.
Drowning in trouble and strangers you meet Swallowing whole is the ground at your feet Wake up my heart and I won't sleep for days There is no patience in waiting for praise Reach out and sink deeper int my head My eyes are weak for the blind I have led I don't know where and I can't tell you when But old friend of mine I will leave you again The silence is cold in the wake I've given you all I can take To bury my loss is the same To carry the cross it's a shame It's a shame Beggars are choosers and pearls become swine Cut on the thorns from this old crown of mine Choose your addictions and slip into shame What's left of you will find someone to blame The silence is cold in the wake I've given you all I can take To bury my loss is the same To carry the cross it's a shame It's a shame

All I Wanted 03:33
Where do you go when your conscience is buried beneath So much trouble I can't hardly breathe Emptiness follows a man that is losing his I fall down to my knees and I pray All I wanted it will never be Lock the door and throw away the key Take your sorrow and lay it on me All I wanted it will never be Face down in dirt and you've burnt out long before your reign Can't complain to your selfish sustain Finding a weakness and putting it up for display Pointing fingers and begging to stay All I wanted it will never be Lock the door and throw away the key Take your sorrow and lay it on me All I wanted it will never be
7.
As cold hands shake Eyes are locked in staring deep While those thieves meet We fall off into our sleep You see through me Casting shadows of a king A fleeting hope Of captivating all you bring I don't forgive Wondering how to perceive The disbelief That nothing's left of what I leave And these things I've known A serpent's tongue will swallow whole Reaping seeds we've sewn The Great Depression takes it's toll The Great Depression takes it's toll
8.
When the shadow of doubt Is hanging over your head And the clocks running out Because your path has been bled There's no question of faith Or the prison below While you're cleaning your slate And taking back what you owe For all of the foes we've obeyed And all of the lies that we trade Our debts they will surely be paid Our debts they will surely be paid The blame at our feet can't be laid Yes our debts they will be paid At it's haunting you now That your losing your mind Follow creeping black clouds When your teeth start to grind There's no going without Though your fortune will fade Know what they're all about When your friends have betrayed For all of the foes we've obeyed And all of the lies that we trade Our debts they will surely be paid Our debts they will surely be paid The blame at our feet can't be laid Yes our debts they will be paid
