Blood Moon
This ship is going down
The water's rising, there is no escape
Our time is running out
We all deserve this watery grave
Bottom feeders, liars
Harlots and thieves
Crooks, fiends
All of us
Tyrants, gluttons, narcissists
Beggars and kings
Conquerors, defilers
All of us the same
Oh, caught in the undertow
Drown in the sea of souls
Ties
That bind us where we are
Lies
To keep us in the dark
It’s our comfort in complacency
That’s blurring all the lines
It’s no wonder we'll never see
We've sewn our own demise
Under a blood red moon
In the dead of night
Feeding our comatose
It seems we’re here to stay
Drift away
In the fading light
As the water creeps into our lungs
Suffocate
Silence your cries
As we descend further down
Over the edge
To dine in the fire
Disintegrating my soul
Cast in the fires below
Feasting on sulfur and stone
We erode
Oh, chip away at the stone
Oh, we will leave your heart exposed
Aaaaaahh
Build me up to break me down again
I will never be whole
Pieces of me fall through this blackened floor
Until I am no more

Vital Contrast
Emotions juxtaposed
Neutrality reigns
Omniscient points of view
Keep the balance in place
Death is a necessity
We cant break the code
Our life must expire
So that we can grow
In the ebb and flow of this refrain
We sing songs of our disdain
But nature sees not what we feel
For it too has wounds that need to heal
Self-imposed by design
Friction molds the greatest minds
Chip away and you might find
Another piece to redefine

The Beggar and the Leech
If you could feel the stain
Of these bloodshot eyes
They won’t look away
So we climb
Out of our shells to play
Your wicked little games
Awake with bloodshot eyes
So we can waste away
Soul burns
Fading slowly
This cold grip
Pulls us further
We indulge ourselves into a comatose
Then flood the earth with our debris
Conquering those who we deem underneath
Who don’t adhere to our beliefs
Bright white light shines
Blind eyes; night cries
Loathe — take charge or flood the inside
Growth — spills over when you’re in flight
Sewn — these pieces fall too deep
Crow — the piercing call to me
My soul burns
Fading slowly
This cold grip
Pulls us further
Please — I overcome the draining lies
Cease — I put a stop to bloodshot eyes
Loss — latch onto cause for my disguise
Leech — rip me asunder; end all life
-Burke/Holub

Torn Between the Titans
I’m feeling torn
I follow through
I feel ignored
I’m bulletproof
I’m filing truth
My ends are loose
I lost all cues
I call on you
The fight I field alone
To find lies
The fear has won inside our hearts
But I’m fine, I’m fine
You wanna feel the fire burn
You oughta keep it to yourself
When all this fear is on the inside
We clear the flooding from the shelf
You wanna feel the fire burn
What happened to justice for all?
We pick our separate trains to inspire
Imagine days when parties fall
Conversations unbecoming
I feel your frustration
Avid in your isolation
Over compensation
Blind; yet you sit on a throne
Lying face down on the floor
Climb from your fearful withdrawals
The height leaves you crumbling for cause
Signs from the people we lost
Grasping to feel alive
You wanna feel like an ocean now?
Well show me the way
Open to everything
You wanna feel like an ocean now?
Lie in the sand
You’re gonna crack
I feel like I’m holding the fall in my hand
Because united we stand
Feel like you’re over involved in my head
We could fly instead
Fly instead
