01. Introducing: The Rot Under The Sun

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
Let's just end what we've begun
I know we're at a loss
Like the desert, we've become
A place to die alone, A place to die alone
And if vultures have their reason for desecrating skin
Then I'll be the rot under the sun
Are you listening to me?
If dead stalk the living in complicated schemes
Then I'll be the one foot in the grave
Are you listening to me?

Why does this feel like a bad dream?
(Burning bridges crumbling over you)
Why do I feel so numb?
(Burning bridges crumbling over me)

Let's just end what we've begun
We were robbed of something more
Like the desert, we've become
A place to die alone, A place to die alone
And if junkies have their reasons for penetrating skin
I'll be the needle in your arm
Are you listening?
If all the world's a stage
Where the characters decease
I'll be the first to kiss the earth
Are you listening to me?

Why does this feel like a bad dream?
(Burning bridges crumbling over you)
Why do I feel so numb?
(Burning bridges crumbling over me)
Why can't I wake from all the grieving?
Why does this feel like a bad dream?
(Burning bridges crumbling over me)

Kill the sound. It's getting worse
We're falling deep from poison nerves
Battling to keep complete
Is this what we deserve?
Lights go out, we keep from sleep
We're threatened with a curse
Tragedy we can't release
When will we ever learn?

Why does this feel like a bad dream? (Yeah!)
(Burning bridges crumbling over you)
Why do I feel so numb?
(Burning bridges crumbling over me)
Why can't I wake from all the grieving?
Why does this feel like a bad dream?
(Burning bridges crumbling over me)

02. Rage

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
Hear me out!
Hear me out!
Hear me out!
Hear!

Why won't you tell me what you're thinking?
Why are you running from the world?
You waste my time
Why won't you tell me what you're thinking?
Why are you punishing the world tonight?

Constellation looming over you
Ghosts surrounding
Vanishing air to feel

Cast out, I wanted to please you
And now you're not around
Am I losing myself?
(How long?) I lost count of the days I believed you
Now you're not around
Am I losing myself?

Why won't you tell me what you're thinking?
Why are you running away from the world?
Why won't you tell me what you're thinking this time?
I only want the truth
The truth

Constellation looming over you
Ghosts surrounding
Vanishing air to feel

Cast out, I wanted to please you
And now you're not around
Am I losing myself?
(How long?) I lost count of the days I believed you
Now you're not around
Am I losing myself?

I hear it in your throat
I can see it in your eyes
If a Killing's what you want
Throw yourself under the knife
I hear it in your throat
I can see it in your eyes
If a Killing's what you want
Throw yourself under the knife
If a Killing's what you want
Throw yourself under the knife
Yeah!

Cast out, I wanted to please you
And now you're not around
Am I losing myself?
(How long?) I lost count of the days (How long?) I believed you
Now you're not around
Am I losing myself?
Well I wanna know
Yeah I wanna know

03. Time Erases Time (Strung Out)

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
Just when you're breaking, strung out on disappearing
Just when it's all gone
(I'll be the cord cut in every connection)
Shaking relations, bastard, prosthetic faces
Just when it's all gone
(I'll be the past erasing time)

Can't you leave the coldest coast aside?
I want you to know you're better left alone
Can't you leave (Can't you leave)
The coldest coast aside?
I want you to know, oh, I want you

Just when you're choking, a passionate, constant burning
Just when it's all gone
(I'll be the cord cut in every connection)
Pull back, abrasive
All I need is time
Just when it's all gone
(I'll be the past erasing time)

Can't you leave the coldest coast aside?
I want you to know you're better left alone
Can't you leave (Can't you leave)
The coldest coast aside?
I want you to know...
(Panic the world)

Passionate
Mental state
Passionate
Mental state
Passionate
Mental state
Passionate
Mental state
I'll be the noose at the end of the world

Can't you leave the coldest coast aside?
I want you to know you're better left alone
Can't you leave (Can't you leave)
The coldest coast aside?
I want you to know, oh, I want you

04. Celestial Fires

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
I fell through space and time
A never ending fall without you
Somewhere, across the stars aligned
A never ending fall without you

Tonight, I'm coming clean under the sun
Just tell me what you want

Say what you want
Say what you wanted
Say what you want
Say what you want (say what you want)
Say what you wanted
Can't we just be honest?

My body scorched the clouds
A never ending fall without you
Fire and earth bled from the mouth
A never ending fall without you

Tonight, I'm coming clean under the sun
Just tell me what you want

Say what you want
Say what you wanted
Say what you want
Say what you want (say what you want)
Say what you wanted
Can't we just be honest?

Deep under your eyes
So vast into the night
Deep under your eyes
So vast into the night
(Can't we just be honest?)

Say what you want
Say what you wanted
Say what you want
Say what you want (say what you want)
Say what you wanted
Can't we just be honest?

Way you know you want to come back to you
(Can't we just be honest?)
Way you know you want to come back around
Way you know you want to come back to you
(Can't we just be honest?) Honest

05. Antidepressants

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
All that we think we've become
We've attached to our soul
With the weight of disgrace
Counting days from a bottomless hole
Spun a desperate web
Even blackest widows would have choked
Now, A passionate bite
From the sharp of the night leaves me soaked

Because you melt the sun
And the sky
We are one

We are one and those eyes got me shifted
Alive, we are one
Let the blood keep on running
Tonight, we are all we want

All that we think we've become
We've attached to our lungs
Kissed the pills we've inhaled
Simply sliding their way past the tongue
Once, was fully equipped
With emotions to swallow a curse
Now, a passionate bite
From the sharp of the night numbs the hurt

Because you melt the sun
And the sky
We are one

We are one and those eyes got me shifted
Alive, we are one
Let the blood keep on running
Tonight, we are all we want

Choke slow
Choke, come on
Choke, choke on the pain inside
Yeah!

We are one and those eyes got me shifted
Alive, we are one
Let the blood keep on running
Tonight, we are all we want

Let the blood keep on running
Tonight, we are all we want

06. Parasomnia

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
(Lack of sleep)
Through the cloudy night
I can see the world ending
(Leaving my body)
A swarm of stars
I keep floating off-time
(All night long)
Yeah, I'm drifting over the ground
I feel nothing
(All night long)
I'll just let my body lie

Passing on

Hey, nobody said to leave it to me
Nobody said to leave it to me
Now, my body's having trouble with everything
So, If anything, there's something wrong
Nobody said to leave it to me
Now, my body's having trouble with everything
Oh, it's everything

(Back your lungs)
All the galaxies couldn't keep me from bending
(Count your wrongs)
A storm of thoughts couldn't keep me in line
(All night long)
Yeah, I'm floating over the ground and still nothing
(All night long)
I'll just let my body lie

Passing on

Hey, nobody said to leave it to me
Nobody said to leave it to me
Now, my body's having trouble with everything
So, If anything, there's something wrong
Nobody said to leave it to me
Now, my body's having trouble with everything
Oh, it's everything

Passing on

Nobody said to leave it to me
Now, my body's having trouble with everything
So, If anything, anything
Nobody said to leave it to me
Now, my body's having trouble with everything
Oh, It's everything

07. Pull Back Your Teeth

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
You came to me
Washed out and meditated on a false catalyst
Poisonously, I pulled from your delicate beliefs
A false tongue, a black lung

Crimes
You're only thinking about yourself
Caught up in the machine
We're all around you
You're only thinking about yourself

You came to me
Blood swarmed the clouds
Crashed underneath, poisonously
I pulled from your delicate beliefs
A false tongue, a black lung

Crimes
You're only thinking about yourself
Caught up in the machine
We're all around you
You're only thinking about yourself

Panic your way out
While the dead hang behind the lies
You will escape the moment
But it's all around you
(It's all around you)
Death is all around you

Even fraudulent heroes are desperate to run from your side
Fraudulent heroes are desperate to run from your side
Fraudulent heroes are desperate to run from your side
Now, all of the people who loved you have sharpened their knives
Even fraudulent heroes are desperate to run from your side
Oh, you're on your own
Pull back your teeth
Yeah

Crimes
You're only thinking about yourself
Caught up in the machine
We're all around you
You're only thinking about yourself

08. Whatever Makes You Hate Me

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
(Get out of the way)
Distraction from thinking
(Get out of the way)
The vexation of cutting through
(A common mistake)
Now, I'm trapped in a dull unknown
(So, get out of the way)
When I'm lying next to you

Whatever makes you hate me
Whatever makes you cry
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?
I want to make you hate me
I want to change your mind
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?

(Get out of the way)
Attraction to sinking
(Get out of the way)
There's no secret left to lose
(A common mistake)
Now, I'm trapped in a dull unknown
(So, get out of the way)
When I'm lying next to you

Hear me out
This is my drug
So come on

Whatever makes you hate me
Whatever makes you cry
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?
I want to make you hate me
I want to change your mind
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?

Calm, take me
I sit here waiting for the calm
To take me out
I sit here waiting for the calm

Swallow your sad, somber excuse
You won't make it out again
(When the dead pour out of the sky)
You'll be thinking of leaving
(When the dead cut into the night)
I'll be the knife that comes for you
(When the dead pour out of the sky)
You'll be the far from deceiving
(When the dead cut into the night)
I'll be the knife

Whatever makes you hate me
Whatever makes you cry
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?
I want to make you hate me
I want to change your mind
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?

Whatever makes you hate me
Whatever makes you cry
I'll be the most persistent to know
Why?
I want to make you hate me
I want to make you fucking hate me! Oh!

09. Blind Lighthouse

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
Broken, I fell back to reach through
My body's lacking design
Haunted sentiment crawls beneath you
My head is faced with a lie

And my hands, they were a vessel
For strengthening your heart
A signal in the dead of night to call upon
Now, the world has gone and melted
Straight blistered by the sun
There's no calm to ease the storm that we've become
The storm that we've become

There's no light that never burns out
I can't stand the thought of you holding onto nothing
When you've got everything left to lose
We were young and troublesome
We had no one
Now, scream it
Where's the love?

Choking for the words
Internally under darkest traces of light
Now, I'm been hurting
And it's hard for me to blame
Bitter context It's all out of line
And I don't wanna know

And my hands, they were a vessel
For strengthening your heart (I don't wanna know)
A signal in the dead of night to call upon (I don't wanna know)
Now, the world has gone and melted
Straight blistered by the sun (I don't wanna know)
There's no calm to ease
The storm that we've become

There's no light that never burns out
I can't stand the thought of you holding onto nothing
When you've got everything left to lose
We were young and troublesome
We had no one
Now, scream it
Where's the love?

Yeah, we're losing the love and facing the end
Yeah, we're losing the love
It's starting to happen again
Crashing, swaying, hurting, numb by your curse
Sinking, surging, raging
I will capsize the world
Crashing, swaying, hurting, numb by your curse
Sinking, surging, raging
I will capsize the world

10. Yours

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
You collapse the sky beneath the ground
And the dead start shaking up
I can touch you in the night
And it hurts me

I've been stuck in-between the lines
Complicated by design
I'm at a loss, I'm barely breathing
I've been stuck in-between your lines
That's why...

You collapse the sky beneath the ground
And the dead start shaking up
I can touch you in the night
Yeah, it hurts me when...
You collapse the sky beneath the ground
And the dead start shaking up
I can touch you in the night
Yeah, it hurts me when you're down

I've been stuck in-between the lines
Complicated by design
I'm at a loss (I'm barely breathing)
I'm wandering (in disbelief and)
I've been stuck in-between the lines
That's why...

You collapse the sky beneath the ground
And the dead start shaking up
I can touch you in the night
Yeah, it hurts me when...
You collapse the sky beneath the ground
And the dead start shaking up
I can touch you in the night
Yeah, it hurts me when you're down
(When you're down, down, down)

I wanna know
If your tongue tied slipping with a chemical burn
Where did you go?
I wanna know
Is it me or are you dripping with a cynical hurt?
Where did you go?
Complex
When you're leading me to the blind
Nothing but a complex
When you're leading me to the blind
You're giving me a complex
When you're leading me to the blind
Nothing but a complex
When you're leading me to the blind

You collapse the sky beneath the ground
And the dead start shaking up
I can touch you in the night
Yeah, it hurts me when...
You collapse the sky beneath the ground
And the dead start shaking up
I can touch you in the night
Yeah, it hurts me when you're down

11. Cathexis

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
Where'd your conscience go?
You let me down
Impulsive cloud of stone
You let me down (You let me down)
So, why do you act
Like there's nothing that can haunt you
From the ghost that you contract?
Why do you act
Like the devil on your shoulder is your last?

You are all alone
Dragging me down
Cold and your own
Dragging me down
You are all alone
Dragging me down

Stolen all I know
Can't come around
Unearth your cloud of stone
You let me down (You let me down)
So, why do you act
Like there's nothing that can haunt you
From the ghost that you contract?
Why do you act
Like the devil on your shoulder is your last?

You are all alone
Dragging me down
Cold and your own
Dragging me down
You are all alone
Dragging me down

Stay
Say to me
Stand there
(Look in your eyes, I wanna see the look in your eyes)
Now tell me that you're faking everything
Stand there
(Look in your eyes, I wanna see the look in your eyes)
When all is lost and incomplete
Stand there
(Look in your eyes, I wanna see the look in your eyes)
When all you know is fashioned to a shape shift
Covering your faces
(Look in your eyes, I wanna see the look in your eyes)
You're borrowing a hole in the life of someone
Who can kill in the night, so I just wanna
Look in your eyes, I wanna see the look in your eyes
You're borrowing a hole in the life of someone
Who can kill in the night

You are all alone
Dragging me down
Cold and your own
Dragging me down
You are all alone
Dragging me down

12. Elucidation

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
Smooth, you soaked right into the floor
Twisted around side to side
You confiscated the night
And I wonder...

If we'd been calm enough to confuse
(You could have blamed anyone in the world)
Now, I gotta ask
If we'd been calm enough to confuse
(You could have blamed anyone in the world)
Now, I gotta ask

How you gonna hold with a chip on your shoulder?
It's a bad look for you
Yeah, I wonder
How you gonna hold with a chip on your shoulder?
It's a bad look for you

Slow, you hesitated a cure
Held under arrogant crime
You contemplated the light
Yeah, I wonder...

If we'd been calm enough to confuse
(You could have blamed anyone in the world)
Now, I gotta ask
If we'd been calm enough to confuse
(You could have blamed anyone in the world)
Now, I gotta ask

How you gonna hold with a chip on your shoulder?
It's a bad look for you
Yeah, I wonder
How you gonna hold with a chip on your shoulder?
It's a bad look

No trust!

It's a bad look for you to right the wrongs
Gnawing at the bone to stop the blood
Cutting off the air to fill your lungs
Hollowing the earth with what I've done

Are you gonna hold with a chip on your shoulder?
It's a bad look for you
Yeah, I wonder
How you gonna hold with a chip on your shoulder?
It's a bad look for you
It's a bad look
How you gonna hold with a chip on your shoulder?
It's a bad look for you
If we'd been calm enough to confuse

13. Altimeter

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
Bodies burn up above
Concave recluse
Restless, you don't wanna live
Meaningless excuse and no god up above
Trust me, you don't wanna live

All the cursed and cold
All the scared and alone
All the broken youth, unexplainable
All the saddest songs
Artificial lungs swallow broken glass
Laugh at death until you're
Gone
Something's wrong

Something's wrong
You're sinking deep through the mouth of the sun

Memories scatter the earth
Constant abuse
Restless, you don't wanna live
Serpent, unholy masochistic truth
Trust me, you don't wanna live

All the cursed and cold
All the scared and alone
All the broken youth, unexplainable
All the saddest songs
Artificial lungs swallow broken glass
Laugh at death until you're
Gone
Something's wrong

Something's wrong
You're sinking deep through the mouth of the sun

Broken, you'll fall back down
(You'll never see your love again)
Crashing without a sound
(You'll never see your love again)
You'll never see your love again!
You'll never see your love!

Something's wrong
You're sinking deep through the mouth of the sun

14. I Don't Want My Loved Ones To Die

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
Unending hurt just disappeared
Past tense
All the holidays in my mind's eye
Bring me back to where the dark felt out of touch
It's too late, I feel the particles breaking up tonight
Yeah, we're all dust in time

I can't live without your bones
(When the end comes colliding I'll keep you by my side)
I can't live without your bones

We had a world of brightest light
It's sad when only the holidays in my mind's eye
Can retract, can retract to where the dark felt out of touch
Counting days, buried in dirt beneath our luck tonight
Yeah, we're all choking

From the moment we breathe to the time that we go
We're cursed with the absence of control
And it's hard to believe, from the dead in our eyes
That we float on a cloud of shattered lives

I can't live without your bones
(When the end comes colliding I'll keep you by my side)
I can't live without your bones

The world is broken
Live your life and then you're gone, child
The world is broken
Live your life and then you're gone, child
The world is broken
Live your life and then you're gone, child
And then you're gone!

I can't live without your bones
(When the end comes colliding I'll keep you by my side)
I can't live without your bones
(When the end comes colliding I'll keep you by my side)
I can't live without your bones
(When the end comes colliding I'll keep you by my side)
I can't live without your bones

15. Phoenix I. Rising II. Falling

Music & lyrics by Night Verses
I. Rising
I'll burn alive from the ashes of fallen sound tonight I rise
Strengthening for the chance to sustain the sun
Torch through the skies
Let the unapologetic ground open your eyes
Strengthening for the chance to sustain the sun
Don't harbor the wrong I've done
Come on!
I'll burn alive from the ashes of fallen sound tonight I rise
Strengthening for the chance to sustain the sun
Suspend it all
Please, don't harbor the wrong I've done
I'm so ashamed of what I've become
Now, I'm giving you all that I got even if it's not enough
Please, don't harbor the wrong I've done
I'm so ashamed of what I've become
And now, I'm giving you all that I got even if it's not enough
Cast in deep distance
Tearing at the wall
Cast in deep distance
You know I'm wrong
I'll run
It's where I belong
Please, don't harbor the wrong I've done
I'm so ashamed of what I've become
And now, I'm giving you all that I got even if it's not enough
Don't harbor the wrong I've done
I'm so ashamed of what I've become
And now I'm giving you all that i got even if it's not enough
I can't even crawl
I'm wrong but this is the coming of the second chances
(Don't give up)
I can't even crawl

II. Falling
You won't sustain the sun
Torn apart from what you want
Repetitions force of devil eyes and it's dragging me down
You won't sustain the sun before the cunning come undone
Repetitious curse of devil eyes to distract
World's apart
I'm breaking down around you
Even when you're pulled away, I'm burning up the things you say, the things you say
World's apart
I'm breaking down around you
Even when you're pulled away, I'm burning up the things you say
And It's got me thinking
World's apart
I'm breaking down around you
Even when you're pulled away, I'm burning up the things you say, the things you say
World's apart
I'm breaking down around you
Even when you're pulled away, I'm burning up the things you say
And It's got me thinking
I can't even crawl, come on
I can't even crawl...
