Fall Astray
Sometimes I break
And sometimes I fall
Somehow I wait
To hear your call
Gone now
Am I ready?
Can we make it on our own?
Nothing left to make it pretty
Is it best to be alone?
Gone now
Am I ready?
What I need is something better
Promises I make alone
A voice in the night
A sound in my head
No one in sight
It’s time to repent
Where do you go when your eyes seem so far away?
Where is your soul when your heart seems to fall astray?

I’ve been around this aching world
To every town I never found my place
I wish I could forget your face
I lost that right a hundred nights ago
Your stricken look will not let me go
It’s all in the eyes
My world came down
She said we were fine
I know that didn’t count
It’s all in the eyes
She gave up every care
To give me her life
There’s nothing left to share
I miss my life another time with you
Mistakes were made the blame was laid on my tomb
I ran away if I stayed I’d be through
I caught a bus without a plan in mind
On the road and all alone to hide
It’s all in the eyes
My world came down
She said we were fine
I know that didn’t count
It’s all in the eyes
She gave up every care
To give me her life
There’s nothing left to share
I’ve been around this aching world
To every town I never found my place
I wish I could forget your face

The Gift
Open your eyes
What do you see?
A lifetime building another man’s dream
Break from the pact, what do you know?
Slavery cost you more than your soul
Awake in the night you can take my hand
And I show you a way to break up this trend
You’ll shun the sun and forget the day
But when it’s said and done, it’s a small price to pay
Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free
Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free
Be my life my bond in death
Be my love accept my gift
See with eyes into other’s deceit
And you’ll understand what you used to be
Each little life churns another’s greed
So why shouldn’t we just take what we need
Stalk the night and you free their souls
You gotta taste life before you lose control
Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free
Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free
Be my life my bond in death
Be my love accept my gift
Open your eyes what do you see?
Another poor soul caught without their own dream
Their desperate eyes seek a way out
You could give them life or you could end it all now
Awake in the night they may take your hand
But if they lose their nerve at least they’ll be dead
Yes, when we met that’s just what I planned
But let’s forget about that and drain our new friend
Words never mean that much
It’s time to break free
Living shouldn’t be a crutch
It’s time to be free
The daytime has failed you
There’s nothing left to see
The nighttime has something new
A dream within a dream
Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free
Life’s just a bad routine
Beats you to your knees
Life’s just a bad routine
The night will set you free
Be my life my bond in death
Be my love accept my gift
Be my life my bond in death
Be my love accept my gift

The Grotto
Step inside
Enjoy the ride
Mind the ghost
She’s a little morose
Frightful scares forget the world out there
We offer treats the trick is quite effete
Diamond rings and fairy wings
The Grotto calls come and wander our halls
Spider eggs in the darkest dregs
The deeper you wind you leave the glamour behind
The real world is a tarnished pearl
They cast us down into this undead town
Welcome to your tomb
Right here on the avenue
Soon you too will rise
See that all I said was true
Desperate fiends and monsters need to eat
You’ll start to see this is what we need
The glamour here is to allay your fear
Invite you in to let the meal begin
Welcome to your tomb
Right here on the avenue
Soon you too will rise
See that all I said was true
Welcome to your tomb
Right here on the avenue
Soon you too will rise
See that all I said was true

In My Mind
Walking through this forest road
The sky is black and the water froze
When I look back, she’s still there
A spirit from another nightmare
Beasts prowl the living night
They’re the type that will kill on sight
This is what I can see when I let myself
Fall asleep because
I live inside my mind
Amongst my own kind
A ghostly type of peace
Eclipsed by monstrous teeth
Devour up my life
There’s nothing left inside
And now that I believe
I’ll never find relief
Somewhere out beyond the trees
There’s a sense of sanity
A place where people live and dwell
They’ll never know my home made hell
What do these phantoms need?
They hover and they claw at me
I’d give up if it would change
But there’s no escape from my imagery because
I live inside my mind
Amongst my own kind
A ghostly type of peace
Eclipsed by monstrous teeth
Devour up my life
There’s nothing left inside
And now that I believe
I’ll never find relief
