Mother Warned You

it's like your mother warned you
when she said you had to
bundle up to go outside
because the wind is biting
and the driveway's frozen
all the snow gets in your eyes
but somewhere
a fire's burning brightly
but not inside
sometimes that feeling creeps up
just how the morning finds you
or maybe how you slept last night
it's like a season premiere
or more like your greatest fear
or something lurking close behind
remember
where your friends would hang out nightly
and what it was like
it's a shame that
you won't live forever, probably
or through the night
it' like your mother warned you
after church on sunday
don't let that old devil inside
but there's no concept to think
like god, or state, or coutry
they're things that no one can define
no one can define

its the way
that you speak, I will believe you
in a day
when any other source deceive
you held me still
were the pilot and the preacher
and I'm the moon
hanging passively above
is it worth getting up?
stay underneath the covers
the sunlight splashes the rug
and its enough
in my youth
the path was laid out so my thoughts were free to play
destination guaranteed
but everyone
now expects some sort of action, so we freeze
ill-equipped to go along
is it worth getting up?
stay underneath the covers
the steam rises from my cup
and its enough
is it worth getting up?
stay underneath the covers
the sunlight splashes the rug
and its enough

The Dark

you're keeping a secret
a treasure's been found
a signet's been stolen
you manufactured a crown
cuz you're golden like the morning
while my light's fading out
I float, like a ghost
vapor and smoke
wailing lost, ancient notes
you walk down the corridor
with determined eyes
though I'm not your enemy
it's me you smite
but undeath can be a beginning
when life's not enough time
I float, like a ghost
vapor and smoke
wailing lost, ancient notes

Proper Respects
03:41

we carry on, even though
we don't belong here anymore
that door was closed years ago
time to accept it and move aside
let someone else try
we get the point: you're special
must you remind us all of the time?
everyone tried their best to
be careful of what you want
predict what you'll decide
reflecting all night on poor choices made
rewinding the memories of our glory days
you missed the point, and its gone now
traded the sacred for the profane
you could have had it all, but
you selected regret over shame
ensure that all proper respects are paid
the corpse has been buried and the flowers laid
