These Rocks 03:38
1. These Rocks Words and Music By: Decillion Maybe it's me But things are getting kinda crazy If you're coming Then I'm going In through the out I'm chasing dreams about A better life... But what about now? Every step Is a battle to be won With these rocks Bringing me down What's it suppose to mean? When your down on your knees And getting kicked into face I'm a fighter And you'll never get me down Face anything You can throw around Every glance, is a knife in the back Every word, a slap... Breakin' down And kicked to the curb Two days later, you're callin again Asking me "how I've been"? I'm not blind, And you're not a crazy bitch ;) What's it suppose to mean? When your down on your knees And getting kicked into face I'm a fighter And you'll never get me down Face anything You can throw around What's it suppose to mean? When your down on your knees And getting kicked into face I'm a fighter And you'll never get me down Face anything You can throw around

2. Laudanum Dreams Words and Music By: Decillion On a starry night When we're meant to see All that is All that can be My mind, What I want to see Is you and me, Separated by eternity... Tumbling through the years Falling carelessly Will I land on my feet? Or miss again... Awakening, strength from within Facing my fears Again for the last time Reaching, For the light of salvation These years... Have worn me down It's my time to shine Brighter than ever before Gone are the shadows... Tripping on a dream In the twilight of reason Reliquaries Of all my sins Holy words Will never be enough To erase... A lifetime of failures Reaching, For the light of salvation These years... Have worn me down It's my time to shine Brighter than ever before Gone are the shadows...

NightBlood 03:53
3. NightBlood Words and Music By: Decillion Out of the light Is where I'm living The seedy side Of the night life One body, Interchanged with the next Always trying to find The next best thing... I've seen The world chew you up And spit you out Nothing worse Than a conscious without some guilt In between the minutes On the edge of ecstasy Higher, Touching angels Or lies... What we see Can never be The light Is never real On my knees Crying I just want out... I'm running on empty Circles and lines Blurry images Strange times All the doors Lead to the same place But I want more All the way to oblivion In between the minutes On the edge of ecstasy Higher, Touching angels Or lies... What we see Can never be The light Is never real On my knees Crying I just want out... There was a time When everything seemed fine Lost in a wave... That washed it all away In between the minutes On the edge of ecstasy Higher, Touching angels Or lies...

Flawed Logic 04:21
4. Flawed Logic Words and Music By: Decillion Disruption... The error replicates Crunch the numbers To find the fallacy Thirty years ago The road split in two Diverging Into I don' know who... The silent tombs Of my own making Faceless, Worn to nothing The voices of the past Trailing into silence The words Lost to my emptiness Golden days Around the corner Turning grey Erased again... Dusty feelings Collecting rust Miles away, Out of touch Memories Fading by the day Now almost nothing Remains

Sybarite 10:39
5. Sybarite Words and Music By: Decillion One more selfie Then I promise to put it away A few more 'likes' Is all I need... A few more snaps More daring than before Praise me... Cuz I'm beautiful The ugliness At the end Replaced By a phantom The awkward silence That prevails When we're up To no good... The endless stream Of digital personalities Some for real, others fake All wanting a piece of the pie Little moments Reveal the hate underneath Hollow people, Chasing hollow dreams... Corridors Leading nowhere Doors Locked and open a like Ecclesiastes 4:4 Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless–like chasing the wind. Ecclesiastes 5:10 Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! Job 15:31 Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless, for he will get nothing in return. Psalm 119:37 Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your dark ways. Grey days Losing sleep He came for me In my sleep Bargains, By the candle light... Sunny skies So why am I grey inside? Empty attention Never satisfies All my dreams Turning to lead balloons Engagement soars As the misery begins Chained to that stone And turning feral Driven crazy By routine Your old life Now cleaved Serenity Now replaced by digital pleas Hungry eyes Can never get enough Privacy, turning to dust A prisoner Shackled to their fate The golden slipper Now a terrible weight Sleeping eyes, now start to wake Behold, the Gate... All that time... That I spent in my youth, Chasing that dream Influencer? What does it even mean... Real life Slipped through my hands And now I can't find The grains of sand Precious moments Erased Now that I'm a big star It's not like how I thought it would be They don't care about me, Only my body An experience Is what I provide Rehearsed gestures Whilst sexualized Pick you poison All roads lead to Hell anyways... Our lives Falling from dark grace Never tomorrow, We suffer our sins right away Always hollow, Are the empty victories Soon, The money's not enough To hold you All together... Broken into pieces Another day, rises again

Knife Fight 03:24
6. Knife Fight Words and Music By: Decillion Hangin' by a thread Or am I half past dead Punctured With a hole in my head Night falls And the city comes alive Bad boys Looking for a fight Sliced to the bone With callous words Hearts bleeding In the dead of the night Another wrong, can't make a right Smooth skin Undulating To the rhythm Penetrated The instrument of lust Castigated As a thing of the past Moonlight, Reveals my wounded soul Your shoulders cold I guess it's me or I'm told Each of us Barring our blades Circling ominously Waiting patiently For the moment To strike... What's it worth A pound of dirt? Or empty promises Sink that knife deep Cutting, emotionally Away the blackened And withered heart No truce, It's either me or you Who? Has the cleanest hands...

7. Jewel in the Skull Words and Music By: Decillion Jet black It sees what I see Silent watcher Of the darkest sorcery Deals Struck in the dark Evil powers Leave a lasting mark One Flick of the switch And jewel Eats my brain Deceived By lies I do what I must To survive Ysselda My sole light The only joy In my eyes We teeter, On the edge of a war Dark forces Never have enough When the dark Reaches your corner of light Coldness, Radiates Summers kiss All but obliterated Under A mantle of snow A race against time An unwanted third eye Interloping On the Just The stain of evil Permeates utterly Proud nations Turning to dust The ever war Out of control Neighbors are now Enemies... Survival of decadence Ivory towers, now bent Under the weight Of corruption One man Standing against the tide When the dark Reaches your corner of light Coldness, Radiates Summers kiss All but obliterated Under A mantle of snow

8. Vital Signals Words and Music By: Decillion Corners, Closing in Eyes, See nothing All is quiet, Am I alone? And drifting... Voices, Lost in the chaos Tumbling, Into silence Divide... And set them upon themselves The lies, Dressed up as truth The graveyard Of dead ideas Spilling over again A diatribe Of fear And ignorance Armies of sheep Corralled in their thinking Blindly lash out At their brethren Conflicting thoughts Branded as "hesitancy" You're not allowed to think, What you want Conform to the greater good Whatever that means... All the roads paved to Hell... Are started with good intentions Ties that bind, Fracture in the blink of an eye Brothers and Sisters At each others throats When the last day Is lived before tyranny We'll carry on... Vital signals, Keep us strong

Dagga Boy 03:10
9. Dagga Boy Words and Music By: Decillion On the outside Rage, Murderous... And waiting Survival Of the strong Natures cruel And cares for no one Brawny, And ready to gore The killing beast Of the savannah Vindictive And vengeful It follows The shadow of death Out here There's only one rule You either live Or you're food Tears Buy nothing You can't reason With anger Roaming The dusty wastes Killing With impunity Rag-dolled And broken Life Ebbing away Try to run In futility Trampled Easily... The Dagga Boy Exacts it's revenge On those Who challenge The irony Of thinking That we're invincible As the blood Feeds the earth Psychotic herbivores With a taste for blood Killing, Just for fun... Keep a wary eye Upon the Dagga Boy Steer clear Of his wrath Another perfect death machine Dressed up as unassuming... Dead black eyes Freeze your insides...

Blue Shift 10:22
10. Blue Shift Words and Music By: Decillion Moving closer Can you feel, The heat of my breath Animal inside Allowed free... The only thing That keeps you from me On the prowl The moon over me Taste your scent Closer... In a dark meditation A vision so clear Of two Now one... I long for your touch, In this empty world of mine For a brief moment in time Clouds break... And the sun is allowed to shine The dull rays Warm my mind SOLO Keys Flying high The wind upon my face The ground below Melting I'm under the sea This dream becomes my reality Every desire Made palpable Transcend the flesh Gods of our memories One day The wind turned cold And snow, Lay in a blanket All that's grown... Is now gone Living a dream that, Turned on us suddenly Eyes, That rage like fire Burning, The rest of me away... The place Where my ashes lay Now wreathed in a circle In flowers... When the walls Are high enough Nothing Gets through Adrift on an ocean Of doubt and fear Trying to turn me over... Messages in a bottle Lost eternally Searching... For land I'll probably die out here Under the waves But at least I tried to fly...
