EPT
A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN
I. Rain Drops
I know it's, blocked out many a sun
Wise men daydream, maybe they would run
But when it's all said and done
Trust me, I'll be the one
Rain drops
Granite-flavored, lips they taste
Star-sprinkled eyes carry the haste
Maybe this man's been misplaced
Falling from the skies, out of this place
Rain drops
Utopia's distant
The dream's resistant
From cold streets to heart beats - easy to miss it
Fade, give in to the sickness
Rain drops
The dream clashes that lead to teeth gnashes
Streets laughing, same coating - rain drop splashes
Mama told us, never play with matches
I'd rather sit back and watch - ashes to ashes
II. Last Glance
The night sky will never die
The stars will stay there, they never lie
Til' they lie against a rain-soaked meadow
Fade out like echoes, lost every memo
No roses to casually adorn the grave
No memories, just last words to save
"Life never gave me a last chance"
You can tell a lot by a last glance
III. Lost
Drunk off the liquor that they poured for us
Dancing with knives, sometimes get deep cuts
Tossed us away, taught the sacred art of heartbreak
Only pleasure come from the time when its our wake
We ain't dead, we're just lost
This ain't the end, it's just frost
They lead us to chase cash
It's happiness, it'll lead you to a new day
But we found our own way
When we realized it wouldn't last
We ain't dead, we're just lost
This ain't the end, it's just frost
We walk this path alone
Trust, we've never known
Always looking for a legacy
Crown it with death, what it meant to me
IV. No Fairy Tales
These perfect moments
Tossed away for the next
Living on a blade's edge
Always aim for the necks
Snow white by the street light
Witching hour, settle in to midnight
Been told we wouldn't last long
Left calling dawn a black swan
Roses only adorn the coffin
Too busy chasing to find a calling
Truth is a bitch that'll have you biting nails
But truth is - there's no fairy tales
V. Interlude (Falling)
The shadows paint pictures from a shifting horizon
(Moments gone, moments gone)
Perfection in a second, how long will it last?
(Never long, never long)
The idea of a sun sets, but it's
(Always dawn, always dawn)
I'm falling, I'm falling
(Another pawn, another pawn)
SET THE FIRES IN HELL
VI. Michael
(They ain't listening
They ain't listening
They ain't listening)
Fires in the streets
Last dying breath of the heart beats
Been broken a few too many times
Eyes set, been through too many crimes
Hoping against hope, this just the first flame
Been told in burning bridges, there's no shame
Every wildfire was born from a first spark
So may this world burn 'til there's no dark
Still trapped in the cycles
Might just shoot for the michaels
No point, so far from salvation
Might as well shoot - for damnation
The flame's a prophet
Leads us to picking pockets
May order come from chaos
They gave us no payrolls, so we gave them no pathos
Sometimes hard to find sympathy
Amidst a siren's symphony
It all comes back to the lack of symmetry
Means these bad things, I always saw coming for me
But I'm..
Still trapped in the cycles
Might just shoot for the michaels
No point, so far from salvation
Might as well shoot - for damnation
(Bright blaze shines, a sun in the night
We all look down from the same worn height
But who's to say what's right?
I lost my way, it's a troubling sight)
VII. Ashes to Ashes
Fire in the streets
It all returns to the ashes
It all returns to the madness
Been sundered, but it always repeats
Gazed into the eye of the beast
Why give him a legacy when it always crashes
Why give him a tear when it always splashes
Gave this life the most, well it gave me the least
All this never changes
All this never changes
They said my blood was stainless
Maybe my death was painless
But when the ideas, they fade away
It's easy to tell the truth and say
We would never save the day
We would never save the day
But in the moment, it feels right
In the moment, it's like, we might
Find someway out of here
Never did, just disappear
IX. Little End
Don't burn your bridges
They're what keeps us from the waters
They're what keeps the men in the monsters
Emptiness is the greatest evil
Searching for something, leaving the peaceful
Found a fountain of youth
In the little lies we call truth
From the first inhale to the last breath
We're only equal in death
Amen
X. When It Falls Apart
There's no draws in gun fights
There's no stars in these nights
Leftovers of a false prophet supernova
Came to tell you - your time is over
No magnum opus, left with no hope
Hope leaves you aimless, a rifle with no scope
Easy to forget, there once was a spark
When it all falls apart

Feel free to post any thoughts/criticisms, but keep it constructive! I'm gonna keep making these (I keep saying the pace will slow down but apparently it doesn't) pretty much either way, so don't be afraid to share your opinion. Just share it in a positive way, preferably.
