The Wilderness

And it feels like the eternal morning, but where the sun doesn’t rise
I am the voice of the one crying in the wilderness (repeated)
I am the voice crying in the wilderness
The wilderness is the world and the world is the wilderness (repeated)
I don’t like the wilderness
The wilderness is the world and the world is the wilderness (repeated)
I do not like the world
I do not like the wilderness
I am the voice of the one crying in the wilderness
The wilderness is the world and the world is the wilderness (repeated)
I do not like The Wilderness (repeated)

I waited till the swamp was a deep brown
Like children on the playground
He squealed while I held his head down
When the dust settled I crawled around
When the dust settled I crawled on the ground
Waiting for the rain to come down
Before the dust settled I crawled on the ground
Waiting for my time to come around
Waiting for the day the master lied down
I bid time
For the time when the master lied down X2
I bid my time X2
For the time when the master lied down
I bid my time X2
A time to kill, A time to heal, A time to live, A time to feel,
A time to weep, and a time to laugh, A time to morn
A time to dance on the grave
The grave where the master lied down X2
Toiling in the heat by day X4
Toiling in the dark
A time to love and a time to hate
A time of war and time to decimate
Waiting for the time for the master to lie down
When the dust settled I crawled on the ground
Waiting for the rain to come run down
Before the dust settled I crawled on the ground
Waiting for day the master lied down
I'm bidding my time X3
A time to kill, A time to heal, A time to live, A time to feel,
A time to weep, and a time to laugh, A time to morn
A time to dance on the grave
The grave where the master lied down
A time to love and a time to hate
A time of war and time to decimate
The grave where the master lied down
I bid my time
Bidding my time X3
The time where the master lied down X3
A time to kill, A time to heal, A time to live, A time to feel,
A time to weep, and a time to laugh, A time to morn
A time to dance on the grave
The grave where the master lied down X2

Where the Ground is Sour

Wake up
If you go out the back door
Behind the shed into the woods
You’ll walk maybe half a mile pass the pines, pass the stream
When the sun sets at 6pm I want you to look down at the tree with the X on it
Look to your right
If the wolves are there proceed no further
But if they’re not take your hands and dig into the soil
That’s where we bury them X2
That’s where you’ll find…..
Good luck

Impossible to estimate
With the cold you penetrate
You own them
I set the mood
It’s just the intro to your attitude
Chorus: Picking at the scabs and ripping at the hide
Doing all of this and you think that you’re fine
Sawing to the bone don’t you know that you bleed
Even in the end it’s all that you need
It’s possible to kill what’s well
I should know
I gave them hell
It’s wonderful if you let it in
Impossible to not give in for your health
For yourself
Chorus: Picking at the scabs and ripping at the hide
Doing all of this and you think that you’re fine
Sawing to the bone don’t you know that you bleed
Even in the end it’s all that you need X2
Can't you wait? (X8)
(inaudible speech)
Chorus: Picking at the scabs and ripping at the hide
Doing all of this and you think that you’re fine
Sawing to the bone don’t you know that you bleed
Even in the end it’s all that you need X2

Search your soul. Do you remember? (Repeated throughout)
This is war
We are formless
This is war
We are formless
Cry to God
This is our war cry
We are formless
This is war
We are formless

-"I felt...I felt physically sick at first and I thought it was just physical from the heat you know?"
-"Yeah."
-"...and then I found myself on the couch and I was...kinda writhing around uncomfortable in my own skin...like my muscles were tense and then all of a sudden I just...I just started bawling like a child....and I didn't understand what was wrong. I still don't understand what happened."
"mmhmm"
(Later)
- "...and uh he caught me by the arm and threw me on the ground and twisted my arms behind my back so hard that it felt they were going to break off like from my shoulders and was just beating me um.. and that's the first time I think I really dissociated. He left me on the ground and I woke up. I'm in my bed and my mom and him are sitting there talking."
-"How old were you then?"
-"I must have been four or five or something"
(Glass shattering)
-"Time is slipping away even more and is that..is that normal? Days and time are even more distorted. Hours will pass and I can't feel that they're passing. I don't feel daytime. I don't feel nighttime"
(Sings)
Heavy is the hand that holds the blade
-" It's almost like a...like an itch in your brain that you can't scratch (inaudible)..but you can't.
A wooden floor that creaks across the centuries
Closing in
(Hyperventilating)
-"I've lost you. Where are you right now? Candace? Candace? Candace? Do things feel scary right now? Candace? Candace? Candace? Do things feel scary right now?..... Do things feel scary right now?
(Glass shattering)
(Hyperventilating)
(Coming to)
-"I'm sorry about your clock."
- " I'm sorry about it too, but I don't care about the clock so much as what you've done to your hand and...."
- "I didn't mean to do that to my hand."
- "No, I know. You were not exactly yourself. I'm just kind of worried about you right now."
-" I um...I'm really sorry."
-" I've lost you. I've lost you. Where are you right now? Where are you right now?"
