1.
The leaves are falling from my family tree, what do I have left for me? And with its upturned roots and with its upturned promises Autumn dawns It’s wrinkled skin hides the daylight, and takes away the remnants of life It’s time we faced the truth and raised our glasses to our ever fading youth Walking through the town where you grew up Nothing ever changed, everyone is still the same Small town mentality, the air is still so hard to breathe
2.
No need for a noose, you’ve got me hanging on tenterhooks Maybe they call this solitude when your mirror image mimics you It’s the only thing that knows the truth about anything in your life The close minded close their doors, close their curtains and ignore Closed off You’re like gravity, I’m staying put White Heather, horse shoe, you’re out of luck There’s only one certain thing in life; One day you’re going to die Blood and bone, preserved in stone The chimneys splutter, smoke and wheeze The smokers cough, I’ve had enough Breathing fresh air through rotten lungs
3.
Signing On 01:21
The path in life is cracked and it seems like it won’t stay intact "It’s only up from here" they say. Acrophobia I’ve never won anything in my life, but then again, I’ve never tried Sliding down the loophole, adjusting to the pitfalls We live in homes we’ll never own, to have fallen from the throne
4.
Absolve 01:56
I have been carrying the cross that you've been wearing around your neck It's crippling my back and I'm walking to my death Absolve Stigmata, I wear the body marks. I'm sent here by your god Absolve, repent, vanquish your sins To forget time, forgive life, to be at peace
