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

On Her Wings 04:24
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.

Nine Circles 04:34
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

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.
