Gravel (1995 Demo)

The weight of guilt
Thrust upon my shoulders
I never thought it would grip me
Now I'm being crushed
I am what I thought I was so far above
Now I find myself eye to eye
With those I once spat upon
Forgiveness would only mean permission
To walk the side of love I once felt
For myself, now I am stripped bare
And standing exposed to any blow you can throw
The shame I feel saying words I know I mean
A moment of weakness breaks the bough and I fall to the ground
I still feel as though it was meant to be for you and me
But with something like this, I can't help but turn away
My reflection once made me smile
The smile is gone and I'm trying so hard
To shed a tear. Have I become callus?
Knowing what pain I have put you through
When all is said and done
I feel so much more betrayed
I walked away with my head low
Because I lied to my face
I will never lie to myself again
How can I expect everything to be fine
When I'm still trying to pick myself up off the ground
And I know all too well I could have declined

Chokehold (1995 Demo)
03:53
|

Holding on two words blindly
Slowly, slipping away
Nothing to break my fall
To the place where nothing matters at all
My despair, who cares?
Not you. You’ve helped me to see.
That words and promises mean absolutely nothing
Feel the words around your throat
Feel the words around your throat
So now I drown on your words
Caught in undertow of white lies
Flail around to catch my breath
All I grab is emptiness
This time I find
That you have no reason for this
All my efforts were in vane
Still you think something can exist
So friend...remember this!
If you can lie, then so can I
But these lies will strangle our throats
You ask to keep in touch
But my promise is as empty as yours
Maybe someday you'll question my ways
And I will leave you with this
When words are not sincere
You can choke the life out of friendship
Chokehold no more!

Monstrosity (1995 Demo)
04:36
|

The slipknot tightens
Choking the life out of me
Eyes open to see you watching
Something that I refuse to believe
I’m sinking deeper in pain
To the point where I’m giving up hope
I will reach out to you
But it only tightens the rope
Blood drips from my fingertips
As I’m still bleeding from our last kiss
Below the surface of monster waits
To be unleashed by my hate
Years of tears gone dry
Not the last I’ll ever shed
Can you sit there and ask why
Love will not rear its head?
I’ve not changed, but become myself
And this might not please, your eyes
But I failed and been nailed
You’re a part of this do you dare deny?
Blood drips from my fingertips
As I’m still bleeding from our last kiss
Below the surface of monster waits
To be unleashed by my hate
Now my blood is dry
An open wound as the sweat goes deep
I lived a life full of love
But that love is caused this change in me
If I die here, I’ll blame you
And those who’ve caused my pain
Be it blood, friend, foe
This monster has my name

My trust is a wall
Would you have run to like
A demolition ball
And brick by brick
It comes down on you, no blood drawn
Because your skin’s so thick
And this is how it feels when nothing remains in me
Nothing remains in me
My love is a fire
Which you have doused by using my desire
And with the sparks that remain
I’ll burn what’s left of you
Then, who will you blame?
A faltered dream to hold onto
A faltered dream to cling to
Your grip has slipped, so let me run
Holding these memories under each arm
And this is how it feels when nothing remains in me
Nothing remains in me

Beautiful (1995 Demo)
03:32
|

Your eyes, they hide so much
And all I’ve seen is beautiful
When I see your smile, I feel so fulfilled
On those dreary days
When nothing but storm clouds line the sky
I know I’ll see the sunshine
By the look at your eyes
I wish I could say
Everything I feel inside
Maybe one day you can see it all
With a look, I’ll look in my eyes
Your face lights my darkness
Your voice soothes the beast in me
“Beautiful “ that word calls me to you
With the smile you’ve given me
I feel as though I can’t fail
When you are by my side
All your gentle words
You’ve given meaning to my meaningless life
In time I’ll have the courage to say, “I”
Lord knows, I tried
On my lips yours feel so warm
Visions of you come to mind
Every time I see, or hear your name
You’ve made me feel like whole
Over time I’ll say “I”
Understand me when I call you “beautiful“

Pipes (1995 Demo)
03:07
|
|||
I am standing so close to you
And I can see you every move
I can hear every word from your lips
Each one hits me hard enough to bruise
You speak so freely as if I’m not there
But glance at me with one eye
Knowing I am watching you
Each time I look want to die
I suffer through you every day
But still burn for your touch
I’m drawn to you, I know it hurts
But I can’t get enough
Question me when my voice hangs low
As if you didn’t know
You’ve put me through this living hell
And refuse to let go
Why don’t you hold me down
Like I know you desire inside
And torture me with your every move
Force yourself into my eyes
Show me the real you right now
You that loves my pain
Don’t be so silent, I can read you
My love for you has been drained
