Artifex Pereo - Weary Lungs Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
If I were to open up
You would have a mess to clean
With a twitch of breath to even the illness inside
I'm tired of living through symmetry
And I'm losing my faith in the story behind the clouds
[Coda:] (...
Artifex Pereo - Overview Lyrics
I've been chasing a ghost that's been known to mislead
I followed it through the thin line that hugs me

Believe me, man, it's a sight we all need
Hanging there was everything that...
Artifex Pereo - Butcher's Son Lyrics
I wear a mask molded from clay

Alone, I've cast from my home;
Give in to the wonderer

My whole purpose is deceived
I am no employee of god
But I swear to y...
Artifex Pereo - Mrs. D Lyrics
Darling, do you recall when the moon was so close
It was as if we could drive there?

He had memorized ev...
Artifex Pereo - Neighbors Lyrics

Artifex Pereo - I, The Surgeon Lyrics
Courage, I am begging you
Every time you've conjoined hands with your friend, Cowardly

We wi...
Artifex Pereo - Granulated Eyelids Lyrics
The tick of his teeth imposing his lip is in desire
For anotheNot to have but to be
Not similar, but the same

Slinging arms with the one
Who tickles his gut just by being;
Steps lightly, trails easy,...
Artifex Pereo - Edgar Suit Lyrics
I found a way to find you out

To keep your shadow a doubt

Taking in more breaths than you'll ever need to let out
You're suspen...
Artifex Pereo - The Lantern And The Firefly Lyrics
I had a lantern
I turned it into a rocket for the sky
Illuminating the ground in which I play
(Illuminating the ground)
But my mother told me to put it away
Led me to my room, and made me a bed to lay
I had a firefly, tied to a ...

Artifex Pereo - As History Would Have It Lyrics
Sentries are on the bluff.
You would be wise to not be the last
Soldier in this line as we make our way through this brush.

to have to fight all and nothing at once?
Rot sets in from trenches dug w...
Artifex Pereo - The Hunt Lyrics

It's a classic case of the hunt
Coming alive to teach us a thing or two about
A thing or two about sealing the deal
With beheading ink and blinding paper
A stationary keeping you stationary
In your thoughts, in your...
Artifex Pereo - The Pendulum Lyrics

Gather the crowd, I've dropped the gavel
Polish the badges and prepare the gallows

Let it be known who led Nathanial to the rope
Oh son do you realize that you ...
Artifex Pereo - Deadweight Lyrics
I have a glove full of pointless bones and veins
Sucking the blood from my heart;

Artifex Pereo - To Listen & Say Nothing Lyrics
[Intro]
You insist that we were meant to be born this way, something divine had it all in store
I suppose that your character was sketched within lines
That connect the fortune you comprise with all the health that you possess
[V...
Artifex Pereo - Apeiron Lyrics
Time sets purpose forth to document decay
Dripping with the warmth of breath gives sweet embrace
Take an accident, hold it in your hands, send it toward the clouds and watch it blow away
Stillness is proof of flow unending
Given tho...
Artifex Pereo - Annica Lyrics
Bones are begging to announce, what the flesh already knows
Life is a lesson in impermanence, a moment's born to decompose
We are granted but an instant here, providing more than ample time
The map is seldom read without a key, w...
Artifex Pereo - The Straight & The Winding Way Lyrics
Wolves stalk the field while the sheep graze the valley
Roles play out so simply, they both know the rules of the game
They can get by with the time honored rights handed down from on high
It's a plague of patience
Caught betwe...
Artifex Pereo - Fool's Errands Lyrics
There's something here that's not always seen
My reason to believe is embedded in me
My gums are these streets
Making these buildings my teeth
Founded on a date that I can't help but remember
It's so paterna...
Artifex Pereo - No Stranger To Worry Lyrics

Artifex Pereo - Static Color Lyrics
Reside profoundly in doubt
Earned ignorance buys a ticket to hell
A brush stroke tinted with
Idolization turned to worship, paints within
The smallest of lines; static color
The path has been hidden as long as we've touche...
Artifex Pereo - First, Do No Harm Lyrics

Burning rocks come tumbling, singeing our last layer
Plates shift with haste, testing water's knack for sweeping us away
A funneling cloud will keep us underground
Ice melting so thin we're liab...
Artifex Pereo - Hands Of Penance Lyrics
These walls became a cage
Scratched with delicate wounds that mark a dying day
The scraps of breath I take belong to someone else

Chained in line with the other sick, forgotten souls
Stuck with lies they tol...
Artifex Pereo - Suburbanite Sprawl Lyrics

Collecting sediments from the lives that powder his feet
He grows weary of his skin
As it provides the very itch
For supplemental lives
Tantalizing a disconcerting niche

Artifex Pereo - Tied To The Sunset Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yet again
Approaches that time of year
When the quiet meets the

And sip on dejection reaped from the seeds
Sown by people like me
Sown by people like me...

Artifex Pereo - The Coefficient Of Inefficiency Lyrics
Oh, no one's at fault
Indifference shelters hope from growing full.
Sympathy chose to shun contention borne home.
What is it like to lose process?
Cadence shyly discarded in favor of confidence.
Why can't you make ste...
