Dear Dorothy 04:01
Dear Dorothy, I fear you may have lost your way along the path with your veins on fire, nothing that you held could ever last and I've got one hand on your hip and you've got one foot in the grave take your innocence away drag you from the city where to we'll never say and when the fall leaves tumble from the sky they'll hide the marker that showed us where you lie. where you died. Dear Dorothy, I fear my hands are tied on this one here tonight what you saw was never meant for innocence or prying eyes we find ourselves stuck in between a nightmare and a murder scene

Drink it down. Can you drink it down? Another line pouring out my mouth Hear me now. Does it make a sound as it trickles in your ears and i cant help underestimate these things that you are saying you've been touched by the razor edge of my own sharpened tongue Hear me now. Do you fear me now? The devil's got a voice he's getting loud If you fight you will surely drown from these thoughts swimming in your head he's got some bad ideas to make and i like them he's got some bad ideas i think and i like them all we're gonna burn like a martyr tonight set me on fire show me the light because the sins you learned have served us well and we've got miles to go til we reach hell we're gonna burn like a martyr tonight swallowed completely by the rite because the sins you learned have served us well and we've got miles to go til we reach hell my love. reaching down. can you reach me now? i need someone to lift me from the crowd. the ground is burnt and my airs run out i can feel you slip away. we've done some very bad things and i like them all. hear me now can you hear me now? fear me now do you fear me now? we've got decisions to make

Gotta go get running its dangerous here for someone like you and i know you're trying to help me out but its not fair do you remember those nightmares that you had when you were young? because i remember those nightmares. im living them right now. i lost control of everything i had im staring down the barrel of a gun my life's been turned completely upside down im living in the shadow of myself theres a fire its burning up everything thats meant a damn to me and a gear is turning to activate my death machine i am not afraid to be waiting to be saved.

Open Graves 04:09
Saturday night I thought i saw you standing outside of the club where we first met but i might be chasing ghosts and i could see moonlight in your hair several shades of auburn that silhouette your face and i can recall some things at times the smell of dirt, your family and your twisted little frame its been a long time since ive been home but im here right now and its been a long time since i chased ghosts ill be standing on the rooftops waiting for a sigh that my words have reached you ill be standing this whole time waiting ill be searching in open graves looking for the one that i let go ill be searching this whole time baby and i can hear insects sing tonight they call out to refute my secret alibi and i heard your foot steps in the dark avowed strides that carried your twisted little frame we breathe tonight we felt alive be still tonight we'll burn tonight
5.
A city breathes deep beneath our feet we've got the world ablaze before us and one answer to reveal would you die with me tonight i wanna pull the pin and hold you close but i cant so i let go and if i explode and im cast into the wind could you put me back again and if i explode and the darkness closes in would you know where to begin im missing the void like summer and pain the pace of your breath which we cant sustain and the tick of the clock is nothing but poison im burning this town to cinder and bones and wearing the crown as i stand alone and watching the world as it crumbles like paper desperate we hang onto our dreams in vain in life one truth remains we live when we feel pain.
