Inurn 02:35
There was another I could see into I never wanted to get out of this bed I took a step back I could see my face It's changed Mother I've been growing sicker I'm just tied down in my head I've been coping with coming unbloomed I'm balanced on a stone or on a tomb Mother I've been growing sicker I'm just tied down in my head I've been coping with coming unbloomed I'm balanced on a stone or on a tomb It's just another thing I couldn't get right

Coping 03:15
Stare back like a blank canvas I lie like awaiting prey We will finally feed from each other I've made this bed and I've slept in it I was a source of pride, a compliment A son she missed too much I used to know how to cope with this I can't continue to catch smoke The glass is growing thinner It's darling, so darling How you're still trying to push through And I'm tired I'm finally tired Of these anxious thoughts In this worried head Sharpen your finest weapons A sheep in wolf skin, a sheep in wolf skin The ground is growing closer We've seen our faults, fed our flaws But we're still trying to push I feel, I feel it like a prick on my skin I've been needing a new sensation I need some sustenance, something I can use against you I need something I can hurt My body is growing weaker Set up my senses, my head is something I can't fix I need to forgive myself The glass is growing thinner It's darling, so darling How you're still trying to push through It's darling, so darling How you're still trying to push through

Buque 03:40
I need to know how to balance myself And this urge to just lie down in this bed Well I'm stuck in my head I am led by this obsession with what's already dead I am led by this obsession with what's already dead I'm moving like a thought through your head I'm a vessel for my tongue to hurt me My heart is beating out of my body Kept this feeling alive I'm burning out quicker than I had thought I need a screen to gray my vision I'm losing sight of what's really happening I'm coming for the crown I'll take you all down with me I've buried it deep beneath the dirt Take the nails of of my head Grasp for the things that I've got left The drive is dead I'm growing in the thought that I'm hurting I don't think there's a sign of this stopping I'm a buque I'm the innards of this movement I've been stuck in Some things were made to break with all my bones The cutting room is cold, the cutting room is cold

Unbloomed 02:06
Just another cut The way be built this up but what we found was a dessert Are you still standing reaching towards the center And you've left another body behind You're in my head, you're in my veins The moon has kissed my head Oh god, you're so damn stupid You have hands so use them Nothing is working Things are getting bad again I cannot be what you lack I just can't You're in my head, you're in my veins
5.
II 03:47
The cars press the pavement As I'm pressing into myself But the guilt weighs like stones Holding my hands down I've been dying To lose something else from all these ways I've been trying to pressure the wave to spill onto my legs And there was nothing I could do I just don't know how to clean all this red Will you look through my body and see how scared I am of how much one man can do I can't just let this die Sometimes I think I need it more than anyone Weighs like the pressure of a wave I've been making two And there was nothing I could do I don't burn for anyone There's no kindling for this fire I can't just let this die Sometimes I think I need it more than anyone And there was nothing i could do
6.
Please tell me something I've been needing ever since that night Holding the cutter, pressing down on my arms because I am weak Like the last time I took you home You won't feel any better where you lay your head You lift the anchor but can you carry it Footsteps pressed down in the dirt To be covered by ash From the embers of our bodies Cuts carved like us in bone I can't keep feeding the wolves And I won't turn it's teeth on myself And I'm not sure how to tell myself how to heal again I'm not ready to the step from this stone My fragile little head Let me tell you what I've learned of all these scars Oh my god these nights are reeling through the black Well I just can't go back to that Like lovers do, took you for all that you lack Placed your arms like stone on my back I can't keep feeding the wolves And I won't turn it's teeth on myself Blame the faults in ourselves Drank from the rivers where we cleaned Well we wandered from the ash with your head in your hands The pushed down packs of cigarettes The covers from our bed And the water will pour back around my neck Well I called a foe a foe Haulted the horses in their march The breath marks as the window wanes The pain is just the pain And as we cleared the river beds Buried our dead and leaned our heads down Pressing flowers into dirt Heaving prowess into worth And there was nothing I could do

I'm losing sleep Cutting myself out of the skin that strangles me I'm not who you need It is you that runs through my veins And I'm not sure with how to deal with who I am I've seen milestones I've feared stepping forward So lets compare wrists I could tell you how to fall Couldn't get myself of this stone I'm on Somethings wrong with me I'm not the man that I should be These cuts are fading into scars And am I just supposed to clean these wounds Let my hands fall back but were cut apart So sad, the bad that pulls me down Try to keep myself from asking how do I get out Hold back the tears that laid next to me But that could never be Couldn't find my way from underneath Here, take this box See what you're worth I would love to see someone else hurt Burn like you wanted to, it feels like Hell Bleed in containers so that you get well Breath in, you're finally on your way down Needed something to calm these shaking limbs I was coming into the man I'd be Well I never thought I'd ever see you pray for anything So burn like you wanted to, it feels like Hell Bleed in containers so that you get well And I was something I could never live up to I was somewhere I could not crawl out of I felt better when I cut my strings So burn like you wanted to, it feels like Hell Bleed in containers so that you get well I always thought it would be easier to take a step back But I'm burning out, I'm losing worth

about

Now on 12" vinyl from Mind Over Matter Records!

mindovermatterrecords.com


This record is a re-recorded, re-mastered, and re-released version of the original "Dawning" we put out on tape back in May with Turn of the Century Records. "Feeding Fields", "II" and "Balancing Stone" were not on the original version and are an addition to "Dawning" added in just for the Its a Trap! release. All the songs have been re-invisioned and edited to more accurately depict what we as a band wanted to capture in the original "Dawning" release. Thanks for listening!
