1.	Cathedral 03:11	lyrics
Poisoner pilfered air Censers overturned embers wash stone floors Watcher from their tall place Lichen holds the bones restrained from their own Wisher; a parting silence I will not rush to your side apparition Blacked out cathedral You'll die in this house Burned with yourself Poisoned by yourself All things fall away Broke, tired, chipped Fall away, they fall away Coughed out flesh of the lungs Façade met by the snow Patchworked paths beaten through time Imprinted just for you Wherever I wander The stone sings to me Wherever I wander I'll never be free
2.	Hells 01:43	lyrics
Fallow ground underhoof Vestige faint my blood turns white Telemetric frequency A heartbeat in the brain Flash guilt memorized Fractured pinnacle Porous effigy Drowned in ethanol Vectored salience A place undeserved The song is no more The stone is unsaid
3.	Stinging Tree 02:11	lyrics
Damp Rot Shallow Inlet Stinging tree sing to me halcyon melodies Headaches, seared skull, excarnation Pooled Gore Numbed Hands You fall apart before you start Tethered The unmade bed, Your poor head Severed Mene mene tekel upharsin Upon the wall all the green slithers down All the weight and division collapsing derision All the thorns have been picked away The burning rot, it still remains A piece of mind to splatter back Was it me or just what I lack? I tore the filthy bed apart The blankets looked just like flesh Spinal fluids leak to cold ponds A concord ruined by yourself
4.	Chemical Noose 03:07	lyrics
A line of gas left in the snow An atavistic undertow Blanched bones your unloved ones I write the broken line for us And the flint's illuminance It will take you away The roped liquid melts the snow Wash your burning veins everybody knows Lines will always end Pills stuck in your neck A house engulphed in flame Warmth for your pain Carved wood burned black; ash fills your vacant neck Don't lose your head just yet, pray to flesh, scrape the flesh
5.	The Flesh of Your Face 03:44	lyrics
I am a circle, one unbroken whole, intervisible Til' you found me out, a hollow shout, nullity Lift your head up to your gaping mouth Consume that which once was your failures The line remains
6.	A Journal of Fires 02:19	lyrics
Bled out in a corridor Reduced; a simple pool of gore My frigid veins cauterized An honest knife doesn't need to twice The pages immolate And it takes all I've ever known Bet on raindrops I hope they fall Stochastic hymns won't bring the thaw And in that light I'll be the last I've washed my neck please make it fast The cinders all come down But they won't hurt me anymore
