I’ve got a secret
I can’t grip it
Burning internally
I can no longer breathe with this burden strangling
Running to honesty pure and free
Will you love me?
For many years
All of my fears
Plagued with guilt
At the foot of a bed I tremble
Sending failed prayers to God begging please
Heal this but there’s no fix, knock the dents from my knees
Will you love me?
I’m your son am I still your sun?
I’m your daughter am I still your daughter?
I’m your child am I still your child?
I’m yours am I still yours?
Am I?
I’m your son am I still your sun?

We slave, but never save
We starve, but never slim
Try so hard, but rarely win
We slowly sink inside our skin
We sow, but never reap
We rest, but never sleep
And those elusive smiles
Never seem to keep
I see that crushing sadness in us all
Won't you take my hand?
That ceaseless sorrow in us all
Won't you take my hand?
The news is never good
The future's looking bleak
We want to rise and fight, but
We're just so tired and weak
We breathe, but feel no calm
We're thinking awful thoughts
It seems that all is lost
Believe me friend, it's not
I see that crushing sadness in us all
Won't you take my hand?
That ceaseless sorrow in us all
Won't you take my hand?
We're down but we're not out
We're down but we're not out
We're down but we're not out
We're down but we're not out
We're down but we're not out
We're down but we're not out
We're down but we're not out
We're down but we're not
I see that crushing sadness in us all
Won't you take my hand?
That ceaseless sorrow in us all
Won't you take my hand?
(We're down but we're not out)
Black cloud casting shadows on us all
(We're down but we're not out)
Won't you take my hand?
(We're down but we're not out)
I see that crushing fucking sadness in us all
(We're down but we're not out)
Someone take my hand

Robes - Unholy Moon

this army of earthquakes
is ready for battle
the people of earth wait for a war
that won’t even matter
I’ll save you the heartache and tell you a lie
I’ll keep you warm with friendly fire
a sentence is handed down and now
It’s coming down to the wire
the holy one is one the run
unholy moon is on the dune
the aftershocks are frightening
we lay torn and tattered
messiahs they come and prophets they go
illusions are shattered
we have to find a way to keep you alive
clean your wounds then show you the light
bandages soaked, come undone
blood kissed lips say goodbye
there will be no one to save you

Who told you that this would be easy?
Who told you - that you could win?
You thought that you could out run bad news?
Your voice is being pulled from your throat,
Say something,
Your action is being dragged from your complacency,
do something.
You have not been chosen.
You don't get to choose.
You have no choice.
You knew this safety net would break.
You knew that this would not be fair.
You knew that this bubble would eventually have to burst.
Your mind is the fuel,
Your heart is the spark,
Your actions will be the fire that help you,
Burn it down.
You have not been chosen.
You do not get to choose.
You have no choice.
Burn.

Dig deep until the air starts to cool. Dig until the sunlight above you seems far, far away. Panic grab anything you can. Prepare to know that you're unprepared. Dig for your life, but your bones are tar; you won't get very far. Me and the soil got a relationship. We know the truth: We're gonna die. We're gonna die if I... I can't control it so I think I'm gonna die, and… We can't agree so I think we're gonna die, and… I can't control it so I think I'm gonna die. We're all gonna die. We're dead. Doomed at each turn. Perpetually post-traumatic, anxiety is automatic. Dig deep. It's the end but maybe not the last time. A heated dispute with the groundskeeper, but it's not up to him who gets interred. Dig deeper, I swear it's right here, until it's not and hope disappears. Losing to liars, black marketeers feeding on fear. Doomed at each turn. Perpetually post-traumatic, anxiety is automatic. Dig deep. It's the end but maybe not the last time. Under your fingernails, the promise of one more chance to live life before you die.

Living - we’re on the outside
Dying - is this our only way out?
Ripping, tearing, screaming, staring
Exactly what
Are you about
I’m gonna lose my mind
I hope you’ll make more sense
I’m gonna lose my head
Hoping, truly, that you end up dead
Living - we’re on the outside
Dying - is this our only way out?
Ripping, tearing, screaming, staring
Exactly what
Is this about

It's the death of you
That shows what's died in me
I'm not like you
But there are no cleansing words
No way to cool off the burn of
Victim shame
Self-faced blame
Afraid to speak your name
I trusted, I let you in
You were a soulless machine
Disguised as human being
What the fuck is my body?

You fucking cowards
You weak, pathetic cowards
Abuse our trust
Abuse your power
I swear to you
You will know what true pain is
You will know how it feels to have fear in your heart
No one is safe
No one is
Protected and secure
Your days are numbered
I will destroy you all
We will destroy, we will overcome
Let me be the butcher at the pig farm
With a smile on my face and a song in my heart
I will drag them squealing to the slaughter

When the world comes crashing down
By fire or frozen ground
When that distant sun's final flame
Is called back from whence it came
Go dark with me
Won't you go dark with me?
When the people choose their sides
To cut out each other's eyes
When madness reigns, and hope is slain
Giving way to endless night
Go dark with me
Won't you go dark with me?
We'll fold ourselves into each other's arms
Until we're mummified
At the end of a world
That could never seem to get it right
When the good Lord cashes in
On a backlog of unchecked sin
Find me, love, and bring our son
Together we'll pull the pin
Go dark with me
Won't you go dark with me?
We'll fold ourselves into each other's arms
Until we're mummified
At the end of a world
That could never seem to get it right
And we'll melt into each other's hearts
As we liquify
If we can't have tomorrow,
Let us go to night
Go dark with me
Won't you go dark with me?
Go dark with me
Won't you go dark with me?
Go dark with me
Won't you go dark with me?
Go dark with me
Won't you go dark with me?
