Snake in the Grass

As two worlds collide it’s apparent
What’s happened here
Destruction through corruption
By the face of fear
The ground begins to crumble beneath me
As my knees turn weak
Reverting back to the old ways
In times of need
When change is not enough
And rubble turns to blood
All that’s here, left to lose
Is the hope that carries you
Get down low
And pray for death
Staring out over the ocean
At the crashing waves
The feeling of being pulled under
One breath from safe
Cracking under weight that you can not hold
The levee soon will break if you don’t gain control
You say you wanted change
But didn’t want to pay
You’ve sold your soul, for nothing more
Than collision course
Get down low
And pray for death
Nothing can change the way you’re feeling now
Looking for light at the darkest side of hell
Facing the fears I never knew I had
Burning dreams till there’s nothing left
I’ve chased hope down the drain till there’s nowhere left to go
I’ve left peace behind just to be alone

Weightless Light
03:38
|
|
||
What if one day, I don’t wake up
And all I’ve hoped for, was not enough
If I stay sleepless, am I still here
Or have I succumb to, disappear
As it becomes clear
With my back against the wall
I try to close my eyes
But I still feel vulnerable
In this weightless light
Rip your fingers, from my throat
I think it’s best if, you let go
Strung out on life and defeated by time
While I lie away, life passes by
If now is the time
The weight upon my chest translates into my head
I try to breathe without a breath, but choke on what I’ve said
Do I deserve the silence that echoes endlessly
Drag me from the darkness of memory and misery

Dry Blood
04:30
|
|
||
Please, let me in
Your heart’s where I call home
Under your skin
Is where I bury my soul
There’s blood in the love that I crave
The type that will come with pain
Breathing new life into me is not the same
But maybe its how I’m reborn again
Brand new blood, fills my lungs
An oath, that we take
Binds us to this life through fate
But nothing is safe
Even the strongest wounds break
Blood soaks the land that we love
Even when deaths not enough
It’s my piece of mind that keeps me inside
Looking for balance in an unequal life
So take, these bones, to break
But leave, my veins, in place
As blood drips off of my hands, it begins to dry
Hearts keep beating, blood keeps flowing
Sealing over time

Heartstopper

For everything you’ve told me, I know what it means
Thank you for entrusting in me
All that you’ve lived through, and all that you’ve seen
Has given me something to believe
Maybe it’s time I open up my eyes
Maybe it’s time I start to realize
There’s darker things that weigh on my mind
But it’s something I don’t want to find
All the things I’ve told you, I had buried away
Were things that I’d wanted to say
My darkest of secrets, and things I’m ashamed
Have made us who we are today
You’ve been out dancing on thin ice (It’s Suicide)
Russian roulette with your life (With no price)
Maybe your waiting to find (To find)
How long til you truly die
Breathe, slow, pretend that you’re in control
Of all you feel
Wake, up, your heart is beating too slow
And the light is far too close
Hold, on, the time is not yours to take
This I know
Maybe it’s time I open up my eyes
Maybe it’s time I start to realize
All that’s here, never really lasts
But the future’s never far from the past
I’m shaking, I’m scared to death
That I’m losing, what’s closest
But I’m waiting, I’m waiting this out
Till nothing, nothings left but hell
I will still hold on
Until you can not
Until last beat of
When your heart stops

Old Silence
04:46
|
|
||
I felt betrayed by you, even double crossed
The trust I’ve put into, all that was lost
You held my hand in the flame, but I didn’t feel a thing
You screamed in my face, with spitting rage
Lay waste
To all that we’ve created
Slow down
This life’s not how you made it
I’ve been biting my tongue for too long, that I’ve struck blood
When my temper starts to speak, that’s what really stings
You’re biting at my hands, as I try to help a friend
You don’t understand, that this is not the end
Lay waste
To all that we’ve created
Slow down
This life’s not how you made it
My eyes are burning red now
And I can’t breathe
Your hands are clenched and shaking
But we don’t speak
You sealed your fate when you walked away
You disappeared when you sealed the page
Lay waste
To all that we’ve created
My eyes are burning red now
And I can’t breathe
Your hands are clenched and shaking
But we don’t speak
Old silence
Is all that’s left between us

Clear The Air
05:32
|
|
||
It’s getting hard for you to see
What’s really weighing down on me
I’m struggling to speak
And it’s turning into screams
As our tempers start to grow
I fall into a place unknown
No reason for those words
That only leave us hurt
Losing faith in time
Has trailed by my side
Scratching at the dirt
Trying to be heard
Chasing after light
That’s only losing fight
It’s hard to say you’re done
When nothing is enough
I think it’s time we clear the air
Of all the tension that’s in here
Chattering through teeth
Of all the fear that exposes me
Beyond on the depths of all I’ve said
I’m holding what is left
Cradled here in emptiness
Till everything is red
No use in forgiveness
When the damage isn’t even done
I’m asking for darkness
I can’t face the light that follows me
There’s no higher power
Nothing that forces me to breathe
If one day I can’t stay here
I only ask that you don’t follow me
I left to breathe and find the place that humbles me
I came to see the pain of vulnerability
You’re smashing your fist through all the walls you built up
To leave your battered hands with blood

Violent Nature
05:31
|
|
||
I look for reasons why I should stay
But I find more reasons to leave this place
Fear of my failure has kept me still
Like blood in the water, fresh from the kill
Maybe I’ve sacrificed, all that I had in life
Maybe all I’ve ever seen, and none of it was meant for me
What if I’m left behind
In my desolate, state of mind
I’d have nobody to tell
That I’m living life through a living hell
I’m hanging on, by a tattered thread
Tears at the seam, till nothings left
These things that I used to love
Have turned into hate, and deemed a crutch
Maybe I’ve sacrificed, all that I had in life
Maybe all I’ve ever seen, and none of it was meant for me
What if I’m left behind
In my desolate, state of mind
I’d have nobody to tell
That I’m living life through a living hell
Violent by nature, but that’s not me
I’m trying to change into what I seem
When my heart fades to black from red
Given the choice between life and death
The crimson light that fades on my eyes
Releasing demons that have held down my life
And when this view is into the unknown
I leave myself with nowhere to go
I’m staring at a mirror that’s covered in cracks
A look at bad luck looking a back
My blurry vision starts to disappear
But now what I see, all becomes clear
I’ve desecrated all the things that I’ve touched
Fear of myself or fear to be loved
My thoughts and images are not looking well
I wanna send them all back to hell
These vacant bodies all fade away
New sense of freedom in a brand new state
My thoughts and images are not looking well
I wanna send them all back to hell

As a Friend
04:31
|
|
||
You don’t seek out comfort
You just avoid pain
The devil’s in the details
As it drags you away
You’ve struggled with addiction
Because it runs in your blood
You said that you weren’t like this
But that just means it’s tough
These things they’re not for you
It’s just substance abuse
And as a friend, never again
I can’t watch you chose, to die
I can still hear your voice
Like it was yesterday
Back when we were friends
And no one spoke of death
There’s a darkness in your heart
As it courses through your veins
A lifetime in a moment
To all be taken away
You didn’t die from suicide
But from a troubled mind
If I had the time
I would have said goodbye
I’d come as a friend

Our Greatest Weakness
06:57
|
|
||
Is this the end, for you and me my friend
Our fading future, where I stand alone
There’s no revival, just the weight we hold
I know it’s too late, what’s here is drained
If all I loved, was gone
And all I’d done, was wrong
Am I a failure, or did I succeed
Did I sacrifice, the greatest thing
I fear the day, that I will die
That I won’t have spoken, what’s on my mind
If all I loved, was gone
And all I’d done, was wrong
It still, won’t change if it hurts
But first it might, get worse
Our greatest weakness, is the way that we love
A crushing defeat, that’s bonded by blood
All that we fear, is the way that we’ll cope
Holding out for, what’s left of our hope
I know it’s too late, we’re out of time, goodbye
But see you on the other side
Believe me, when I say it’s been tough
Losing life in love, and let it fade to dust
I can’t, be the only one
Who’s afraid for death to come, when all my friends are gone
Please don’t, leave before I say
How much you meant to me, and I’ll cherish all these days
I wanted, so badly to be strong
But weakness was my flaw, and what could not be won, I lost
Our greatest weakness is love that we know
Our greatest weakness is love, for now

Woodhawk Calgary, Alberta
Made of equal parts 1970s Birmingham and a myriad of 21st century heavy who’s who, Calgary trio Woodhawk are purveyors of riff centric rock and roll. Capable and original, the band is able to craft anthemic fist pumping songs while forgoing tired stoner rock clichés. ... more
