Recorded, Mix, & Mastered by Pat Hills @ Earthtone Studos

lyrics

I’m so fucking sick of preventable death

Trapped in frozen north
Black and broken pines
Ports of Grey Havens
Always fresh in my mind

Undercurrent of tragedy
Twisted up in dreams
The promise of failure
In enslavement to extremes

All benevolent ghosts
Bite at the heels of time
Mine the past for evidence
Holding the line

They’ve set our stages in graveyards
Cast to wait in exile
Looking over our shoulders
Suffocating in denial

The poison is in the secrecy
The isolation and the shame
Force masqueraded as choice
Methodically placed blame

I’m so fucking sick
Of the stories they weave
I’m so fucking sick
Of the shape of my grief
I’m so fucking sick
Of my own wasted breath
I’m so fucking sick
Of preventable death

Cages start to spill over
Into the gutters we crawl
And everyone that I love
Shudders from the withdrawals
The soothing murmurs of ghosts
Follow closely behind
Peaks and valleys of our habits
And the passage of time
At the helm of my sorrow
Scavenge support from the vault
Always met with repulsion
Told it’s my own fucking fault
And what is the burden?
Of the people pulling the strings
And how much is it worth?
Just to keep the streets clean

Subtle echoes of mercy
Come from the comfort of friends
But everyone that I love
Still seems to leave in the end

They’ve set our stages in graveyards
Cast to wait in exile
Looking over our shoulders
Suffocating in denial

The poison is in the secrecy
The isolation and the shame
Force masqueraded as choice
Methodically placed blame

I’m so fucking sick
Of communities ravaged
I’m so fucking sick
Of mitigating the damage
I’m so fucking sick
Of my own wasted breath
I’m so fucking sick
Of preventable death
