Haunt Lyrics
SPYWERKS
You meet a stranger, fantasize
You’re falling down again
You’re falling down again
You’re near the stranger, intensifies
You kiss the stranger, electrifies
You feel the stranger, telling lies
You need the stranger, it’s suicide
You’re falling down again
You’re falling down again
BAD DREAMS
I’d wait all day for darkness to fall
But now the sun goes down
I fear the dreams that I can recall
The voice that calls to bed
Fills me with dread I can’t escape these
Bad dreams
Are haunting me
Questioning
Reality
These bad dreams
Won’t let me sleep
Tormenting
Let me be
I walk around all day
Pretend control is in my grasp and
I know the what night brings now
This second life torments I just laugh
Beneath my smile there’s only terror
‘cause I know they’re waiting…
Bad dreams
Are haunting me
Questioning
Reality
These bad dreams
Won’t let me sleep
Tormenting
Let me be
A faceless man with knives
A wicked girl with who knows my secrets
All those who I’ve done wrong to
Lies I’ve told a bird repeats them
Heavy’s the soul whose sleeping mind
won’t let them turn away these
Bad dreams
Are haunting me
Questioning
Reality
These bad dreams
Won’t let me sleep
Tormenting
Let me be
NEVER SAY
Paralyzed, struck by lightning, living in gray
The same old movie scenes rewind and play
Enveloped in the longing, never to say
Never to be the same
Never to call my name
Never to be whole again
So tired of…
Familiar shadows seem to much the same
Light fading endlessly, tricking my brain
Obsessing over fear just suffocates
Every accomplishment just burns away
Never to be the same
Never to call my name
Never to be whole again
So tired of…
KNOXVILLE
On innocence
You gave your trust
No bitterness
You fell in love
No malcontent
How could you know
The truth could bend
The day you came
Back from his home
You may have thought
You were alone
But then you saw
The evidence
A body hit
With violence
Then what had happened next…was like it was a movie
All out of her control…imprisoned for no reason
A crime listed
As passionate
Authorities
Inadequate
Was the wrong time
But was her place
Her roommate’s
Personal space
How could she know
She’d be accused
They analyzed
Her every move
Until the day
They set her free
Stuck in a jail
In Italy
Then what had happened next…was like it was a movie
All out of her control…imprisoned for no reason
SHADOWS
This brown malaise
It follows me around
Been here for days
If I tried to hide would be just as plain to you
The more I say the less you have a clue
Shadows falling
Shadows fading
I can’t reason
With this dark refrain
Denial wins but always leads to shame
If I tried to hide would be just as plain to you
The more I say the less know what to do
Shadows falling
Shadows fading
Shadows falling
Black and biding
Shadows rising
Blue and ceding
SHED
That noise was a surprise
Your pulse is quickening
Your eyesight weakening
You feel a thousand eyes
Your hair begins to rise
The dark oppresses you
Scared, cold, without a clue
Woken by metal on my arms
Shoved inside my own doors, alone
Fingers and toes are numb
Where is this coming from?
You know someone is there
Not just a nightmare
You only now can hear
Mind over-run with fear
You feel a sharp attack
Everything now is black
Woken by metal on my arms
Shoved inside my own doors, alone
VALKYRIE
Choosing wise, strong we rise, pick the slain
We prepare, Odin must always reign
Like staring into a flame
Beautiful, causing pain
Weaving your fate in their hands
Your spirit soon will be damned
Riding hard, armed with swords and shields
Crashing down, picking men off the fields
Powerful, who they are is concealed
Like staring into a flame
Beauty that causes pain
Weaving your fate in their hands
Your spirit soon will be damned
RUN
As twenty Hiroshimas
You say “it won’t work out”
That’s all she’s hearing now
Still Running
Blood pumping
Now the only thing
That she knows
Heart is shutting down
Her frown became a fixture
The distance in her eyes
Could paint a million pictures
Still Running
Blood pumping
Now the only thing
That she knows
Alone among the crowd
The moon, it sees right through her
Just say what happens now
She’s fading to a whisper
Still Running
Blood pumping
Now the only thing
That she knows
Awakening Lyrics
AWAKENING
Sitting there with your face of blank indifference
Feeling nothing, spitting back malfeasance
Eyes are dark and my skin is cold and icy
Patience gone, I can feel it rising in me
My body is light and my voice is growing stronger
I hover, I watch you, I scream as you sit frozen
The horror in your eyes fills me with greater meaning
Run and hide, you’ve awakened something evil
In the mirror, staring back is something
It isn’t me, but this me is what I’m feeling
What’s inside me can’t hear your pleas for reason
Doesn’t care that your soul is small and freezing
My body is light and my voice is growing stronger
I hover, I watch you, I scream as you sit frozen
The horror in your eyes fills me with deeper meaning
Run and hide, you’ve awakened something evil
STRAY
The news obsession that we never seem to lose
Aggression flooding senses forcing us to choose the way we think
One more shooting another person’s been accused
There’s fifteen dead, now can you think of an excuse
Shaken by bullets all flying around
Pick up the bodies that lie on the ground
With thoughts and prayers as we sink in despair
Twenty years past yet we still look elsewhere
Desensitized, a long-term morbid love affair
People are dying, tell me when should it become our turn to care?
We see our families they’re diminishing in size
Senseless slaughter, an anti-hero glamorized
Shaken by bullets all flying around
Pick up the bodies that lie on the ground
With thoughts and prayers as we sink in despair
Twenty years past yet we still look elsewhere
Thoughts and prayers, in despair
What’s that sound? Hit the ground
BURN
Feel the wind on my cheeks
Fallen leaves beneath my feet
I inhale a deeper breath
Say goodbye to fearfulness
Just when I thought
This was all behind us
Persecution
For having a different kind of belief system
But paranoia strikes them
Burn the witches
Time to lock them all up
When it was my turn
I looked away
Begin the trial
Of the day
Test her to see if she floats
Into the bay
When it was my turn
I look away
Burn her, just burn her
She was innocent
Hang her, then stone her
What was your intent?
Rape her, then crush her
Not by accident
Burn her, erase her
She was innocent
Here we are centuries later
Here we are ‘cause nothing ever changes
Does it?
Burn her, just burn her
She was innocent
Hang her, then stone her
Begin the descent
Into the madness
Not by accident
Burn her, erase her
She was innocent
Feel the wind
On my cheeks
Falling leaves
Beneath her feet
I inhale a deeper breath
Say hello to fearfulness
BLEED
How I am you ask? Well I’m still bleeding
You say it’s in the past, well I’m still bleeding
Tell me that this wasn’t quite the plan
Standing there you just can’t escape this feeling
Tell you my emotions, raw and reeling
Maybe we should exit while we can
A fire and a shooting star
Remember?
The cold and those callous words
Remember?
Love and warmth it was always fast and fleeting
Constant ridicule always repeating
Submissive to the bruising and the pain
How I am you ask? Well I’m still bleeding
Out of sight out of mind the only freeing
Feeling is to cut your bloody hand
A fire and a shooting star
Remember?
The cold and those careless words
Remember?
Oh Let me go
Undertow
You embrace every hit
You deny all of it
You embrace every hit
You deny it
Oh let me go
TAKEN
Heart beating suddenly
Feet won’t move, I just freeze
Mouth covered cannot breath
Can’t fight back underneath
Stop, not that, this
Please free my wrists
Choke, spit, hit, piss
I want to live
I’m floating high above
What should I think of?
Played out your fantasy
Tied to my canopy
I was a bride to be
Now no one touches me
Stop, not that, this
Please free my wrists
Choke, spit, hit, piss
I want to live
I’m floating high above
What should I think of?
SHIMMER
I dip my toe in
Dreaming of floating
I swim the ocean
The salt is cleansing
Feeling absolution
I can go peacefully
The sun is setting
The water shimmers
The seagulls crying
The wind is biting
Feeling absolution
I can go peacefully
It’s perfect timing
It was a good year
I’ll swim the ocean
And end my life there
Feeling absolution
I can go peacefully
KEENING
She is floating through the air
Tattered clothes and the world’s most insufferable stare
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
She delivers any news
How your house will fall and someone in your family will lose
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Eyes are glowing in the night
Piercing through the darkness paralyzing you with fright
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Hallowed faces taking their flight
Warning of the next death, banshees screaming with delight
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
