Artifex Pereo - The Baker Act Lyrics

The face of my friend is beginning to blur again

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
At first I never thought to look back
Believe me, man, it's a sight we all need

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
He kicks the side as a start
Slinging arms with the one
Who tickles his gut just by being;
Steps lightly, trails easy,...
Artifex Pereo - Butcher's Son Lyrics
I wear a mask molded from clay
I walked on my shoes until the edges frayed
Alone, I've cast from my home;

I am no employee of god
But I swear to y...
Artifex Pereo - Mrs. D Lyrics

Artifex Pereo - Neighbors Lyrics

Every time you've conjoined hands with your friend, Cowardly

Artifex Pereo - Edgar Suit Lyrics
I found a way to find you out
You shift far too much
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

I had a firefly, tied to a ...

Rot sets in from trenches dug w...
Artifex Pereo - The Hunt Lyrics

Coming alive to teach us a thing or two about

Artifex Pereo - Deadweight Lyrics
I have a glove full of pointless bones and veins
Sucking the blood from my heart;

Artifex Pereo - Apeiron Lyrics

Artifex Pereo - Annica Lyrics

Artifex Pereo - The Straight & The Winding Way Lyrics

Artifex Pereo - Fool's Errands Lyrics

My reason to believe is embedded in me

Artifex Pereo - No Stranger To Worry Lyrics

Artifex Pereo - Static Color Lyrics

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

Artifex Pereo - Hands Of Penance Lyrics

Artifex Pereo - Suburbanite Sprawl Lyrics

Collecting sediments from the lives that powder his feet
He grows weary of his skin

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
