Violet
By: Rei Haycraft
Can't get your smell off my skin
Can't get the blood out of the carpet
My heart is tainted by your touch
You took my everything, why wasn't that enough?
You didn't spare my life
You stole it from me
Cruel to kill me, crueler still...
Crueler still to let me live
Draw the blinds, hide the light
Can't get your voice out of my mind
I feel your breath on my neck
I know that you'll come for me again
You didn't spare my life
You stole it from me
Cruel to kill me, crueler still...
Crueler still to let me live
You didn't spare my life
You stole it from me
Cruel to kill me, crueler still...
Crueler still... to let me live

Condemned:
Lyrics by: Topher Westbrook
My arms won’t help me,
You are what you perceive.
Put out the fires and help me,
You won’t get away with sin.
Drowning in a pool a fire,
You were always the first, to condemn me
You will not, you will not, take the only part of me
You will not, you cannot, take the only part of me.
Take your filthy ways, out of this place
A disgrace to all mankind
You won’t take it from me,
You won’t get the chance
And if you think I’m joking
Come and test you strength
You will not control me
No one can suppress or tame me
Shot dead to all incompetence
You will not, you cannot, take the anything from me
You won’t even touch, desist me. You won’t even get to die
No one cares, No one knows. A menace in you lives
I know you, your language. Get Away, Get out of this place.
You will not, you cannot, take any part of me
You cannot not, you will not take any part of me
Its over now, your time has come
It’s over now, you have lost
Your time is now

Shadow on the Wall:
By: Topher Westbrook and Ricardo Estrada
I see the other side,
Are you trying to bide your time?
I notice the pain you reflect,
You’re falling down to your death.
You try to think you’re fine,
But every day you remind
Yourself of sins you have done
And how far down you’ve come.
The saddest thing of all
Is watching as you fall.
I won’t let you lose control
Like shadows on a wall
Knowing there’s nothing I can do
But sit and watch the destruction of you.
You carelessly run around,
But one of these days you’ll drown
And no one will hear a sound.
But as you try to hide,
You will find
In me you can confide.
But as the heavens clear,
Let bygones disappear.
Look at the sun and stars,
Let fate dispel your fears.
The world will come around,
The future will be clear,
Just don’t lose hope
He’ll be right here.

More Than Cake (The Companion Cube Song)
By: Rei Haycraft
You said to take care of it
Then you took it away
I should disregard your advice
You only will betray
The cube would never stoop to lying
Though earth and man are gone
I thought the cube would last forever
BUT I WAS WRONG
You never threatened to stab me
In fact, you never spoke
I never thought that you'd leave me
This has to be a joke
I knew you'd never desert me
But I made a mistake
You were the best friend I could ask for
And I loved you more than cake
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The cube had food and maybe ammo
And immortality
Not in cruelty, Not in wrath
The REAPER came today
An ANGEL visited this grey path
And took the cube away.
You never threatened to stab me
In fact, you never spoke
I never thought that you'd leave me
This has to be a joke
I knew you'd never betray me
But I made a mistake
You were the best friend I could ask for
And I loved you more than cake
You never threatened to stab me
In fact, you never spoke
I never thought that you'd leave me
This has to be a joke
I knew you'd never desert me
But I made a mistake
You were the best friend I could ask for
And I loved you more than cake

The Sacrifice
By: Rei Haycraft
I'll miss the winter, the fragile heart of things
I'll miss the forest and the way we used to sing
There's no escaping the darkness drawing near,
'Til all that's left is the memory of fear.
I can feel it coming on the wind, oh, how it grieves,
The heavens are starting to bleed, for me...
I'm not your sacrifice, no, not now
I'm not the one to pay the price for your power
Is it worth my innocence, just to see me bleed?
Your masochistic ritual will be complete,
Through me.
I'll miss the colors, the autumn most of all
I'll miss your smile, I don't wanna be your fall
The fields are burning, the end is drawing nigh
Though I could save us, I don't want to die...
I'm not your sacrifice, no, not now
I'm not the one to pay the price for your power
Is it worth my innocence, just to see me bleed?
Your masochistic ritual will be complete...
I'm not your sacrifice...
I'm not the one to pay your price...
Is it worth my innocence, just to see me bleed?
Your masochistic ritual will be... complete...

Inside this Shell
By: Ricardo Estrada
Ramblings and delusions, expanding everyday
On so much medication, my skin’s now tainted gray.
I’m living an illusion a constant dance with death
You call them mass convulsions, I call them my escape.
My cell keeps getting tighter; they say it’s all in my head
The voices just get louder, they drown all else away
My thoughts keep straying further, a little more each day,
Who knows, maybe they’ll leave me to like a corpse decay
Laughing till the brink of night
Crawling through the tears and strife
Seething when I hear you near
Seething, though it’s me I hear
The schizophrenia’s raging, the paranoia distends,
There’s more to my situation than what I comprehend.
This illness is cold comfort; this silence is my friend,
And my own insanity is all in which I depend.
I can’t recognize, the writing on the wall,
My days are like small fragments, that’s all that I recall
By bouts of mutilation and screams I am enthralled
I guess inside my mind is where I’ll escape it all
Laughing till the brink of night
Crawling through the tears and strife
Seething when I hear you near
Seething, though it’s me I hear
