The mask I wear is terrifying To provoke the fear necessary To remind you that this is forever I am forever Because I've caught the voice that touches every man that spends too much time alone "I can show you fear in a handful of dust" In the mirror I rust and peel back the faces of all those yesterdays This is not who I used to be I used to be more than just these teeth But no one remembers the victims and it's Saints that see past the tiger's teeth It is not death that we fear, just the idea that our names can just disappear I've become the dark, waiting for something darker Inscribing my name on every bone I pick clean In the dark, waiting for something darker You will remember my name

I want to use my teeth To keep them sharp and skilled To clean meat from the bone of a fresh kill I want it all the hard way I want something to feel I need deeper breaths I need something real I need so much more For there to be so much less I want the Old West of our lives back I want the sun to kiss my bones Have you ever wanted more than these redundant steps? I need so much more than what is left I need to stop retracing these god damned silhouettes I want a new adventure I want to see the west I need so much more than the 9 to 5 I need to ache to know I'm alive I want to be a new idea Based off an old design With bigger teeth and stronger spine I need so much more for there to be so much less Until we're all that's left Until I'm all that is left 1000 years ago I made heads roll because I wanted more I want more. I want it more.

How do you forget the rain? We woke up children that day And I alone went to sleep Ancient In my grief I keep on waking up To all these words stuck In my graveyard mouth Dying, like autumn's sun But I was always too much teeth And Sometimes I can still feel your hand in mine, Only for a seconds keep But these seconds keep me going I've outlived the better parts of me I've outlived the best part of myself Like an old dog who knows it's time I'm just looking for a good place to die

I love the things that hurt the most So in my chest this graveyard grows I've become a nameless ghost in my own head Do you remember me? Will anyone? I have caught your dreamers disease and they won't rest until they get me Black death runs freely across this landscape Mountains of memories, like knives, like you I held a scared, cancer of a girl until she fell back asleep, brushing the horses from her hair before they turned into nightmares Up at night my mirror's ashamed of what I become As I trace my veins To see the sun Open it up to be gone This weakness I stole eagerly from your lips, thinking I was strong enough to ride wild horses and break them the way my name said I should But I was nothing special No, I am nothing pure Night falls faster than love And they ride something terrible, black as hell Black as hell I've become a bad, bad dream And I just need to sleep These mares run black as midnight And I just need some sleep

Riders 02:34
What good are the memories If no one remembers me No elixir can remedy A life of wasted chemistry I'll fear no gods and no dark enemies Lonely is the road That betters me
