The Holy Dark (EP)

The Robot's Guide To Living The Holy Dark (EP) Lyrics
1.Presenting

Please understand that this collective arrogance is who we are.
Broadcast my grief through sounds untreatable transmissions are
what we do.
So step in line, this is a question of your worth.
Rewrite my life, the dark presented at rebirth.
So give your mouth a rest now the dark is gone and baby you
ain't going nowhere.
You're going nowhere.


2.Los Angeles

If you heard me speak you would know
that I am just as ignorant as you
this process invented to reinvent ones self.
Sold out my lungs just to burn brightly for you.

Watch us divide from poster boys to picket signs
the selective love you make keeps screaming out.
The time I took and the love you sold reminds me of all of you.

Say hello bitter in time post card
my body out tonight never understand you're never proud enough.
So you can tell them that I am never coming home to LA.

I breath nostalgia in and disappointment fills my lungs.
My pride breaks under my sin for convenience keeps me whole.
I gave up everything to become your sun. Your body slipped away.

What was I supposed to do?
What did you want me to do?
We watched her go.

say goodnight bitter in time post card
my body out tonight never understand you're never proud enough.
so you can tell them that I am never...

I turned my back on LA.


3.It's Cold In This Town

My vicious attempt to build your compassion.
I construct us in vein, my pride unravels and winds.
Discarded my chance, left the comforts of home.
Watched the world then divide, you're destroying my body.

I kept writing to ghosts. The guilt tore up my insides.
My faith tangled in prayer and I'll run home to you.
From the cold side of France, to the West side of home,
it's cold in this town, I'll see Paris in June.

Their prayers fill my head, it's disturbing my sleep.
Built my faith on a wire, pulled tight it split at the seams.
But despite you in dreams, my palms they still bleed.
Bled my love for this world, father I am home.


4.This Life

Intertwined to this place yet definitions kept around.
The year's spent with subtle difference seem far from the
convenience of home.
Never twice will this comfort stay.
Your patience has no purpose here.
You've lost it.

We're sending out an SOS call.
The sun went out and we need assistance.
We've spent too many days in the shade.
This was our life. This was our time.

Oh so repetitive. In motion this life seems so less meaning full
(kept safe from the person you want to be).
There's a difference between a life well spent and a life that
is just meaningless.

It's only you wasting every second you could spend
catching up to your life still beneath me.
And now your tongue is worn pushing excuses past your teeth.


5.Stay Awake

When we move slow, it's vibrant and pretty like that:
all patient, but indecisive at best.
Still singing out loud until you wake.
Keep you watching. Keep you breathing.
Such clever mistakes can lead to something
or someone worth that wait.

But stay awake, there's no silence this time
shadows strapped to the pavement silhouette lays divine.
Delicate and so removed intricately defined, such as light.

But I'm bruised, broken and bleeding like that.
Are you watching? Saviour your absence has been noted.
Are you watching? Because we are waiting.

And as I reign never question if I.. If I'm sick I am not sick.
Dependent, selfish, and vicious like him.
Drink myself sick and then I've lost it.
Recluse there is still no badge of pride to wear.
Just lose yourself in the melody that screams on in your head.

But stay awake, there's no silence this time
shadows strapped to the pavement silhouette lays divine.
Delicate and so removed intricately defined, such as light.

Cause in my head, I have lost it.
And in your head, we're all asleep again (you have lost it)

But stay awake, there's no silence this time
shadows strapped to the pavement silhouette lays divine.
Delicate and so removed intricately defined, such as light.


6.For The Empire

My aren't we tenacious?
Or are we just quite envious infectious
such as my illuminating pride.
Breaking down this moment the self proclaimed well
everlasting cure constructed to combat my disease.

So we wrote some new affairs
and spent some cash to cover you up
so well before I become your lie again.
We breaking hard for summer these stitches
held by our indifference here we are marching away
for the last time darling.

What am I to do now I said just what am I to do now I said.
On the receiving end of static meant to shut you down.
We've been campaigning your politics
I read them like holy scriptures to the privileged and the
proud.
I've accepted loss, accepted guilt just for you to shut me out.
And play out like we're well rehearsed.
Parade around me like some drunken sailors without their
captain,
it's been so long since I have drank.

Empires shake and fall from lack of understanding.
I'll be the martyr for your cause a fashion that is fire.
What I do is not some attempt to become holy.
I built this from my body. This is for you.

And she said, 'You better make that money!'

Bled some sounds off record I've created something perfect
that the world will sing it, and sing it loud:

'Praise to the empire tonight, until we bring it down!'
