ACCEPTING DISGUST
music/lyrics: nicholas rampmeyer
this world is hopeless
but a fucking priceless joke
you try to make the noose fit
but they don’t even make enough rope
huge ant hills of mountains
give confidence all around
while these measly insects
knock us to the fucking ground
that’s it, it’s over
there’s nothing left to say
no way, no how
won’t play your fucking games
the illusion, it’s broekn
there is no hope or faith
i thank you for this gift of disgust
it’s not weakness, it’s not pride
it’s of nothing left inside
except darkness and evil
why can’t that be stolen from our lives?
this world is hopeless
but a fucking priceless joke
you try to make the noose fit
but they don’t even make enough rope
that’s it, it’s over
there’s nothing left to say
no way, no how
won’t play your fucking games
the illusion, it’s broekn
there is no hope or faith
i thank you for this gift of disgust

DROWNING THOSE YOU DRAIN
music/lyrics: nicholas rampmeyer
i’m not trying to break myself today
you’ve had for so long everything your way
i’m not fighting when you refuse to change
scars are what shape us not weights on your name
trinkets of pride they hang
i dug your grave long ago
now go please die
i’m not hiding behind bad luck that’s passed
you give excuses for everything that’s asked
i’m not bending you can’t strong(hand) me to shame
we all live by our acts not puppet strings of blame
(you’re) drowning those you drain
i dug your grave long ago
now go please die

EYES OF SILVER
music/lyrics: nicholas rampmeyer
grind me down because i’m your cattle
but will you bleed for me tonight?
war of words and opposition
try making up your mind
love is not me i’m your hatred
come witness it tonight
i’m your best friend, you’re our worst enemy
why must you always win the fight?
and still you haunt me, your ghost resides
i cannot keep track of passing time
i can’t remove you or the pain
your words still travel through my veins
grind me down because i’m your cattle
would you bleed for me tonight?
war of words and opposition
try making up your mind
you gave me hope and peace in life
just to rip and steal my spine
i’m making love to our new girlfriend
eyes of silver her name is death

THE GREATEST CHEAT
music/lyrics: nicholas rampmeyer
there’s rivers of soil and soot
coagulating to my heart
petrifying all my thoughts
to frozen states of rage and pain
i want to penetrate
and crush this ill visage to dust
but nothing can destroy
this world to ashes and rust
lay down your power to their game
let praise wash over you
the greatest cheat
prey for prayer

SAME
music/lyrics: nicholas rampmeyer
there’s just somethings that can’t be said
a clob of notes, a thunk, and primal screams
it was a place i dreamed to stay
and though it’s gone i miss it everyday
when hope brought cradles and lullabyes
and bruising ear drums was a great night
it was a place i dreamed to stay
things fall apart if you go your own way
i never wanted to play a game
i never wanted to sit and wait
our time on earth is lo-finite
you sit and wait and you’ll be the same
you’ll be the same
i never wanted to be this way
there’s just somethings that can’t be said
a clob of notes, a thunk, and primal screams
can glue our friendship, if not the same
if not the same

DARKEST HOLE
music/lyrics: nicholas rampmeyer
where is the friend who could not help but make me laugh?
i’m sorry i have to i can’t wear this mask
the vortex is widening from now and what was past
and i feel so cold now a corpse through looking glass
dreams tossed out the window i don’t fault us for being sad
what was it that caused it? questions we cannot ask?
a world keeps turning, you have to make it last
this hole you keep burning spins it just as fast
your hole you’re digging fits just you but me it’s bringing
a loss; a theft of the honor and bond that we kept
but it’s your will and your way, and i can’t bring myself to restrain
your will to the sky even though on earthy you can fly
soar to the sky

ANNEX DIVIDE
music/lyrics: nicholas rampmeyer
life can be a great disease
most of our chains still do what we please
a union divided are bullets in a gun
divided unity are planets around the sun
hope is what you see ahead from the past
the only magic spell to make us laugh
worry comes to those who have no faith
courage is only when you accept your fate
annex divide side by side
annex divide all will shine

MIRTHLESS
music/lyrics: nicholas rampmeyer
The sun has fallen
But silence awakens
The void your soul has left
Winter warmth
Shadows in blankets
Her face concealed a grin
While naked
Flowers of a new day
Still just buds
But they sway, fingers in
To expose
Pedals budge
But won’t open
Defense or deception a garden of guns
Bloom into place
The sun has fallen
Never to return
The sun has fallen
And still I burn
Broken pedals fall away
Reveal a grin on the face
Of a mirthless flower
Enduring their decay
Haunting secrets still tucked away
The soil beneath us still grows the dead
A flaccid embrace upon our graves
A kiss eternal, dark sky still grey
The stars rain sparks above our heads
A crash of thunder beneath our bed
Stabs of lightning between ourselves
Stranded with hunger between your legs
