Aftermath 05:25
They found us Ghosts wait where the angels used to play High on the aura And the ashes taste like home A landscape of lost The remains of things gone The air fills these lungs Burns like it cuts Blood in the smile Scars on these hands Winter’s death comes in cold Summer becomes a story told Colors stay as memories In the backs of minds gone gray The sky is falling down Sinking all creation into the ground Conclusion is miles away Revolving in our dreams I don’t know my own name anymore I never knew my place anyway Home is nowhere that I lay I am fading in this place
2.
Something just ain't right here Feeling so empty staring into space Must be something in the water This fragile home has me feeling out of place I'm afraid of tomorrow Feel the shakes of a train coming overhead Sit on pipes above water Something inside keeps me miles away from here Long gone, I know there's nothing going on So tell me, is life worth living for? When stress is eating up and you just can't take anymore Broke and bare, sinking into a hole All the colors fade as memories walk out the door We're nowhere, and going deeper there Nothing left to lose, and even then, who really cares? Just let it wear down to bone Good luck, you're on your own Something just ain't right here Catch maybe an hour or so of sleep Must be something I'm missing Living off of the dirt kicked in my face Every day's like a fever Struggle just to climb out my bed Going deaf and disconnected Trying to ignore the voices in my head I know you've been my home all along A broken, filthy place to sit and sing these painful songs Just let the wounds all sting I never meant a thing

NSFW 05:16
Colder nights spent in our fires A sadist passion; our unholy desires Tied and bound Abrasive arouse A torturous romance Everything exposed Never a love so close Our limits to choose and break With empty voices, we scream our sins out loud Never felt so free in chains With blood and leather, a fervent affection Intimate violence Scars and marks; penchant I’m alright in pain Fetishes explored Anguishes adored Tied and bound Spirits inside-out A quiet evening in malaise Morbid marvel Dolor pleasures A vehement play With empty voices, we scream our sins out loud Never felt so free in chains With blood and leather, a fervent affection Intimate violence

Eskimo 04:15
Our hands, they sway, as we're walking over graves Unaware of the poisons we both bear Romantic sin, again and again We can't tell anyone Don't spoil our fun On father’s gun Making love after croquet Our bloody hands touching one another’s faces Smoke to our evils done We’ve both had our fun On another’s gun Who can tell us we’re wrong if everyone is dead and gone? Rest well, Heather My noose is yours Rest well, everything My death is yours
6.
Another needle underneath the skin One more excuse to start again Two more days till we get paid It only takes one to throw it all away I can't wait for the day When my dreams chase my pain away I can't wait for the world to say You can live, let your reflections fade 'Cause I feel stuck in the past Nothing good ever seems to last But if there's light at the end of this I'll keep on breathing till it goes out [Inhansed] Yeah, yeah Feeling alone, but never reach out for help Feel like a drone, never feel like myself And I'm feeling like my mind is one of a kind But I can't seem to show it when I'm writing these lines I find I need the confidence to pull me back up Before I get stuck in a hole that the flag dug The sedentary life really isn't for me Need to find my drive so I can climb back up on my feet You don't think I can fix the mess that I made? (Nah) You think that my dreams stay locked in a cage? (Yeah) Well, one day every lock's gotta break And one day they'll say my reflections can fade I can't wait for the day When my dreams chase my pain away I can't wait for the world to say You can live, let your reflections fade

Sunny Graves 04:48
The sun shines on your open tomb Our bones warm in the heat I reach into six feet under and pull you back to life We wake the dead You empty my head You cut into me You're timeless beauty An autumn breeze slowly creeping through Long enough for us to breathe Minutes dissolving into hours The soil steals your skin I hear your voice through holes in the earth Can you hear mine? I just need to know what's really there Your ghost makes me believe You whisper my name Somehow it's just the same You take it all away Even in death, I'm here to stay Smile and wave Our souls embrace I'm losing my mind Your love haunts alive
8.
Lips red, like evidence Pacing around a filthy room Is this where we go? Is this all we know? Dressed in after-effects A pharmaceutical casket Dwelling in depression No one knows you anymore Playing with curses, sinking slowly These ropes will lead you to god [Joey Woodard] You're in a new realm A padded, roach-infested hell Muttering jinxes All their eyes are watching you Something is burning, it must be you You're only a memory on display

[Alison LoPresti] It’s eating your mind All the time Reflections; You cast your thoughts awry Shooting too high Out of your sight Regressions; Keep your past alive If you could just concern yourself with better things and bring your soul back in from sea Vivid hindrance; you begin to paralyze You’re letting your doubts materialize Take a clearer glance; Discordant clairvoyance [Alison LoPresti] Gazing so far Eyes wide and jarred Deflection; Point fingers miles on Elsewhere and gone Transcending lost Evection; Meshuggah disposition Redirect yourself from fantasy Your guile keeps you from reality A frozen countenance Dissonant contrivance Trivial fortune Wither in wanion Blinded in bambosh Rusting in revelry Bound to your balderdash Star-gazing to the grave

Bad Chatters 04:16
Are you calling out? Are we above ground? Transmissions loud and clear Intwining atmospheres Radio waves collide Static is building inside A supernatural encounter Our spirits haunt each other's minds Connections make us feel alive It’s just the way we speak I talk to you through waves and waves of unnatural ways I bleed for you Is this signal going through? I talk to you for days and days in clairvoyant gaze I swim with you Somewhere far from there and then Are we talking now? Are our thoughts too loud? Holes where my mind should be Places my eyes shouldn't see Visions like astrology Celestial colors never seen Radio waves collide A lucid realm where we hide Affixing our auras in each other's Magic by gesture of hand Rendezvous in clandestine land Are we in tune tonight? I talk to you through waves and waves of unnatural ways I'm calling you Is the signal going through? I talk to you: days and days in clairvoyant haze I drift with you Somewhere far away from real Radio waves collide A portal is opened tonight Tempting senses from a distance Seen you in every single dream We’re getting closer or so it seems I’m wide awake tonight I talk to you through waves and waves of unnatural ways I dream it too Is the signal going through? I talk to you hoping to be there someday I’ll wait for you 'Til our spirits clash again
11.
Completing a picture of long ago When color still remained [Rebekah Rafferty] Eyes embrace a different kind of place A quiet whisper across the midnight lakes Wide awake, in moonlit rays we lay Everything goes silent in this space We see what we feel; Something in the air makes it so surreal Ponder on forthcoming years; Mapping out anxiety on hopes and fears [Rebekah Rafferty] We’ll trade our lives for what fools our minds Make an end from where you began Nostalgic plagues etched in our graves Pictures painted in passions time erased Reflect on the pictures of long ago With nothing left to show
12.
Inside of a hollow shell I loathe and dwell Awaiting the final days We’re lost and misplaced A paradise found in death A new bed where I’ll rest Your ghost remains in my head I’m following again I wait for death to realign our lives I wait for death to reunite our hands Arms open like pearly gates As I finally wake Fading into my tomb As I walk to you I can never sleep the same No longer in this world should I remain I wait for death to realign our lives I wait for death to reignite our fire I wait for death to realign our lives I wait for death to reunite our hands I await return to you This world is nothing more than a tomb Pull my heart out, it’s all for you Pull my eyes shut, take me too
13.
How the times have changed All the blood and words exchanged I look inside and I don't feel so alive God, it’s like there’s nothing there at all Nurtured torture; Hapless haptics; Gentle killing; Peaceful pain; Make it so there’s no feeling to know The thing that separates us is accepting reality Wearing another’s heart on your sleeves Tugging strings until it doesn’t bleed A finer suit in which to die A familiar vacancy I've felt a thousand times Now no one has my heart Not you, not them, nor I I gave you everything Just to forget everything I won’t be your fucking scapegoat Dragging over broken glass and solitude Crawling back to a time before you Everyone we love Couldn’t give a fuck Everything we love Will turn us to rust We were given life to die You never wanted connection You only wanted control
14.
Open Road 04:42
I’m on a road that never ends And I don’t know where I began I’m on a road I’ve never seen And I don’t know where I should be I’m on a road I call it home Faces to know Places to go I’m on a road again and again And I don’t know where it will end Running low and stretching far Never know just where we are I’m on a road Don’t know where it goes I’m on my own The only way I’ve ever known Summer days keep me amazed Fall leaves me no worries at all Winter time hits cold and blind Another year’s gone by We all keep riding on I’m on a road that’s growing thin I think that I’m reaching the end
15.
From hugging, stuck in a snow storm To empty, alone by the dance floor You know, I left my heart in you You know, I had so much to lose You know, I left my heart in you You know, I never got to choose Every day’s the same to me Everything’s the same, I see Can’t believe what I’d believe Oh, how I would bleed From fucking in the beach house To screaming our lungs out From smoking in the graveyard To slicing every vein apart From kissing out on the porch To making everything worse You know, I left my heart in you You know, I had so much to lose You know, I left my heart in you You know, I never got to choose Every day’s the same to me Everything just fades, I see Now it’s like we never were Nothing left means nothing hurts
16.
This month will be the life and death of me Years spent asleep, what’s one more day to see? What a way to end the year What a time to disappear When things begin to fade Remember all the noise you made Is this my blood to bleed? What ever else could I be? I think I’m ready for it now I’m just a person, what have I to prove? Not much to me, not much to you Not one for alcohol, cracks in the skull No worries out in the open, no fears at all They tried to warn you Unrelenting screams within So tell me then, is it quiet in heaven? All the time you spent awake Just to die another day Followed everything they’d say Just to go a different way It’s gonna happen someday Just you wait and see The colder you get inside The colder the blood you bleed When your time is up, what will the pages read? When it’s time to go, what if we never leave? It’s alright, no time to mind It's alright, no time to die
17.
Death Walk 04:24
Mouths are moving but making no sound Feet are walking but there’s no ground Time is going and we’re never slowing down Teeth are gnashing with tongues screaming out I know it’s strange to walk away Wearing death like a wedding ring I sleep fine knowing where I'll be Away from you, and away from me 'Cause I'm a nuisance Completely useless Just a number getting number And I may not be right But I ain't fuckin' you Got a stride in a newer skin What’s done is done and will be done again Something to never mean; promises never seen Funny how it takes tragedy to make us believe I know it’s strange to walk away But when words mean nothing what can you say? 'Cause I'm a nuisance Completely useless Just a number getting number And I may not be right But I ain't fuckin' you Funny how it ends Laughing at ourselves Funny how we lie Everything deserves to die Do we really need to die? Just so you can see it with your eyes? 'Cause we’re a nuisance Completely useless Just numbers getting number We were never right Everyone deserves to die
18.
Dusty Heart 04:48
Well, I'm sorry if I don't say it enough Troubled days and years make your skin so tough But I'm still thankful for all the people I know I can trust I still have trouble sleeping at night But when I wake, I know the sun's gonna shine so bright So incase I don't say it enough; Thank you for your kindness and love Been in and out of every jail in town But never once been arrested Did my time at the Amazon Up and left as soon as my shares vested Reminisce on days when I was less paid Always kept me going away Shacked on Appalachians where the shine burns blue Spent every night writing new tunes I still think about forgotten plans But I know I'm better off here holding your hand So because I don't say it enough; Thank you for your kindness and love Been up and down the east and west coast Carry plenty of curses, known too many ghosts Smell like campfire from a night hanging with the boys Please don't be mad if I'm gone all the time I promise on my life you're always on my mind Fell asleep once on the edge of a bridge Still getting used to this noisy life Screaming over guitars in a big lime light They say you can't say it ever too much; Thank you for your kindness and love It'd take a hurricane to clean my dusty heart Half the time it's a wonder how we haven't fallen apart But incase I don't say it enough; Thank you for your kindness and love

about

This is the last album Asylum 213 will be releasing until the new year comes with new ideas, new experiences, and the appropriate time to call forth something new to be released. Until then, thank you to EVERY person who has ever in any way supported this project, and HUGE thanks to every person who contributed their talents to it as well. I promise this is not the end, but this album and every album I released took a huge chunk out of my personal life, emotional stability, and consumed a lot more energy than I realized. I don't look at this with negativity, but rather an empowering sacrifice that reaped a massive reward for achieving everything I've ever wanted to sonically accomplish. This album is my journal for the past 3 to 4 years of my life, please enjoy, feel free to purchase, feel free to steal it, feel free to share it, and know that I appreciate all of you, fans, friends, family, critics, and in betweens all alike.
