I. The Wall Takes What Belongs To It
Sick like the rats that run under this town
Barking at the moon
Foaming at the mouth
Clawing at the surface for a means of escape
There's no gold down here
Nothing left to take
Back to the dirt
We are one with it
A child is born
Into this world of shit
And their struggled grip it
Starts to slip
The brakes will go
And their wings are clipped
Death ain't gonna wait for no man
But go ahead and play your hand
No one is ever really a loss
We're not worth all that we thought
Drowned rats don't feast and dead birds don't fly
The cold, clammy hands-
They drag me to the lake
This life was never mine
Only Her's to take

II. An Oil Ocean
Staggered and wounded
But we fought through
I could smell the shit you were trying to move
Something’s been off
This whole fucking time
I could tell by how you shift your eyes
You’re only as holy
As the gaps in your story
If you got a plan, why don’t you show me
Cauterized by a blinding glint
If you’re coming in, you better kill me quick
I know you wanna run.
I know you think you’ve paid your dues
But I see how feeble you are when you try to lead.
There’s a clear limp in your step
And that will be the first thing I sink my teeth into
Leaving you paralyzed and vulnerable to attack
I won’t follow a false god to the precipice
I’m at the back of the pack where leaders belong
I am the worst kind of winter
The kind that takes your breath away
I am the wrath of December
I am all that is endless
I won’t follow a false god to the precipice
I’m at the back of the pack where leaders belong

III. Feral Hoosier Blood
Death to all that’s false
Frail limbs twitching in the clutches of our jaws
We’ve come to collect
The meat of fraudulent necks
Death to all who’ve wronged
The pack in any form
Puncture their throats
Gnaw their feeble bones
The ugly choices we’ve made
Have lead us to think like
feral, godless, warped creatures
There’s no calming essence
No time better than the present
We’ve created something
Devilish, and clever
Dangerous, and quicker
Follow the voices
Feral and anxious
Gnashing of teeth
Burning of bridges
Blood in the water
A reach that is farther
All will collapse
A new plague will follow
Of The Lot

IV. Then They Came For Me
Lack of heart
It’s pitiful
If you’re gonna shoot
You better mean it
Cut me deep
And look at me
Until you hit a nerve,
Or a memory
How could it be so incomplete
The traction I lost when they came for me
All of the dreams
What do they mean?
Come alive while we still have the time to turn and run
Borrowed jaw
A sound so false
I didn’t think
We’d go that far
Come alive while we still have the time to turn and run

V. Pitiful, Really
Curse the thieves
The damn dirty fiends
I’m all caught up in these mangle dreams
You see, there’s plenty more to me
It smells like death in these goddamn bloody sheets
End the day/Thin the herd
Be a stat although it hurts
Feed the need
Catch the thrill
Sever the head
Let it spill
Get your fill
Claim your kill
My mangled corpse,
It continued to grow
Rotten and feeble
Not in control
Caught somewhere
Amongst all of the static
You don’t still got it
If you never even had it
Manic breaths
Make for little error
I’ll dig at this pine box
Until there’s room to share
Doesn’t my voice still
Give you the chills
I’m Gutted, but vibrant
The death of a thrill
Be still
Embrace
The horses are here
Waiting at the gate
They’ve come to collect
They’re champing at the bit
I reached out to hold the hand of who I once was
But I found no comfort in someone i was not to love
Curse the thieves
The dirty fiends
Damn the thieves
The dirty fiends
All you’ve done is take from me
All you’ve done is take from me
