Track Name: Mors Semper Certa Est
This is my tragedy
beginning with the number 3
this is our endless winter
when all we needed was a summer sun
this is how to feel distant
even though we're one step away from the grave
this is how we fail

So everytime we've tried to smile
Mother Luck took our happiness away
and any hope was fake
This is how everything ends
this is my ode to you

goodbye youth
goodbye you
Track Name: On Her Wings
So she lets her dirty wings unfold
we know what it’s like to feel unclean.
The yesterdays might be sterile
but the tomorrows rust
like ancient thrones left in the rain.
I’m trying to climb ivory gates
I’m still trying but I’m way too late.


The times we said
‘love you to death’
we were as young as our words
miles away but still so close
we sing each other to sleep
with the rhythm of our lies
out of tune but still tongue deep
in the middle of a sharp tooth lullaby.


And I can sleep you off
and I can let you go
we swear to god
"me and you means forever"
but that forever means nothing
if it means me and you

the time we said
"miss you like hell"
we were as old as our words
in the same bed but still alone
we sing each other to sleep
with the rhythm of our lies
out of tune but still tongue deep
in a sharp tooth lullaby.
I’m trying to climb ivory gates
I’m still trying but I’m way too late.


and I can sleep you off
in someone else’s bed
And I can let you go
to someone else’s arms
And I can sleep you off
in someone else’s legs
and I can let you go
to someone else’s heart.

Where are all the friendly faces
now that I need you more than ever
when ungrateful youth
make us pay the price of our age
the ones that smile as they sink
Searching between a thousand lines
the joy they never had
forgetting they’re still alive
the ones who swore to God
“me and you means forever”
but that forever means nothing
if it means me and you.
so just let me go
cut out the pictures of my smiles
You’re the reason why
the only hand I hold is mine.
Track Name: Nine Circles
It took us an age to realize
that ‘living’ is just another word for ‘compromise’
Punching in and bleeding out
to keep our sorry souls in line.

This city still fucking stinks
an open sewer of lives left to sink
Shake the hands of those that sit
in all the places that they don’t fit.

and say goodbye to anything good
I’m still waiting for it to come with age
I’m still waiting for anything at all.


And there’s a heaven for the whole nine circles
and there’s a heaven for all of those that hurt you
But waiting there at the end of the rope
is only hell for the ones that hoped
Track Name: Growing Pains
That night the old man died
I was still cutting my teeth as a child.
They told me "son, this is how it goes"
"but it's not how it’s supposed to be”
There goes a man with the stains of
blood and sand
broke his back planting flags in the oil land
ten years under foreign sun
is a life not yet begun
cause open mouths and empty stomachs
still had to be fed
And a man with war on his side, isn’t enough
until he comes home dead.

no matter how hard we try
the things we want still pass us by
happiness is just a lie

they said
"it's real when shared"
but we got no one
no one’s there.


looking back now, all I see
is all the life he didn’t want to live,
is all the things he didn’t want to be
are all those who swore not to leave
is the man that I still grieve.

And if take a look at me
behind these tired eyes
is that kind of person
I never thought I could be
and even if that grey old man
is now so far away
I still lie beside him
one in sin, the other in the grave.
