they’ll never stand some banishment alone
i know the fate these savages deserve
bound by the fear of losing control
far better that dark passengers are witness to blood
your death in my sight, my will to play god
closer still - i won’t abandon this code
one more chance, you’ll slip
i see this every day
i’m not afraid to view the scenery in the depths of vicious minds
endless acts of indiscretion
closer to breaking through the code
countless acts of pure aggression
closer to breaking through the code after all
i’m not afraid to view the scenery in the depths of vicious minds
this image was the last you’ll know don’t fight it
oh father, with this mask i face the demons
bleed for them now so i can rest
from this lie truth will surface
maintain appearances one last time
This album is still one of my favorites. What Johnny and Evan did here, I don't know if it could ever happen again. There is heart in this album, something actually kind of rare nowadays I think. The beating rhythms and fun riffs meet ethereal vocals and leads that actually impact me emotionally which is, in my opinion, the superlative measure of any work of art. brineryte
