here are the lyrics off the demo http://orionpax.org/

playing hide and seek with meteors

AJ

we didn't take the time to see what is
blinding our sight enough to distort our perceptions
we'll get what we earned as our just reward
taking punishment for a failed attempt
slow it down please

Garrett

we're not as adventurous as we used to be
the stars in our eyes and the moon at our feet
ready to be a pioneer in these dark times
and wishing to see the light in the darkness
what happened to the romantic portrayal of weightlessness
this blissfulness is a dream in which we reside
if we die with no air may we breathe long enough to see
these blinding lights that make it impossible to see
how they roll the bureaucratic dice
they don't send soldiers where they're not needed
it's their advice that's keeping you grounded

just because we can't sing doesn't mean our voices shouldn't be heard

AJ

you came to your own conclusion again
why don't you just listen
i wish that you weren't so hard on yourself
you don't need to do that
even the distance can't break this bond
it tries but it cannot
though things have changed were still friends
i miss those times always

Garrett

look at it this way
you can either swallow the pill or take the spill
all things considered i'll choose the latter
isn't it better to not sell yourself down the river
it's like not knowing where to begin
when the end is the only thing that is clear
if we listen may they stay and finally feel accomplished
i'll carry everything even if it's not mine to share
what would you know about emptiness
when your friends are always there
i remember what was said
cancer was our only mistake
i can't relate to your idea
that every day is a new day
for once i'm glad i stood up for myself
just wanted a voice of my own
wanted to walk on my own
wanted a place of my own
wanted to walk on my own
it's not like i wanted to you to perish


I had to write my lyrics on the spot when recording so i'm not totally happy with them i've put a lot more thought into the lyrics to the newer songs i'll post them soon.

Here's the lyrics to a forthcoming EP for a hardcore band I do vocals in

Looking for a Killer:
Find the exit
I've wasted enough time now
looking for a way out
Walls and locked doors
"this is the devil!"
this isn't the end
this is myself
lost in the crowd
the killer is out there
He won't find an escape
there is no way out
After all, I am his maker

Doppelganger:
Washing out the foundation
in a dream the house collapsed in a flood
in the mirror is one man, full-length, bearing two faces
Mimicking writing and eating, but with nothing in hand
this is a delusion
wide awake in a nightmare
with a blink I will shake away this omen
the paleness of death, fleeting, never gaining ground

Godspeed and Goodnight:
It was too much to bear
Long gone but it still broke my heart
shivering in the cold of disbelief
shaking my head and cursing your breath
Goodbye
And I hope you have an ocean of grief
The more time goes by
And the more I hope you regret
What happened to the word friend?
I wish I could let go
but the things you have said
left me a bitter taste in my mouth
spitting out every last good memory
Goodbye
Godspeed and good night

Cavity:
With watery eyes and trembling jaws
I’m a cowering son of boredom’s creation
Under tiled sky
It’s cold as concrete
Dull and helpless
I flick my fingers to life
My hands set to work
Dry backs, wet palms
This will be my opus, if not my grave
Bleeding sore, open earth
I fell into a cavity
The walls corrupt, crumble down
Drag the line, slip through the cracks
With a gesture,
a small and simple gesture
I make a light

The Build Up to Something Greater:
I’m waiting
Though the sun burns out
I’ll just keep waiting, waiting, waiting
Slowly grow
My roots into
The broken ground
I'll just keep waiting, waiting, waiting
Holding back never made sense to them
Some might advise that I get a life
But this is it; I will not grow sick of it
turn my face to the sky
and pray for rain
slowly grow my feet into the broken ground
Dreams I will not let go, minds that won’t change
Can’t suffer to watch this fly away

Bitter and “Justified”:
she said "You're only human,don't beat yourself up"
I couldn't help but think
that beating myself is the only thing that keeps me from fucking up
my veins are soaked in caffeine and fear
and no matter how hard I fight the fight or flight feeling
paranoia still weighs heavier in my gut than ever
You could say I'm the best there ever was at self-destruction
this time I'm just looking for excuses
firing my own foundations but still holding my tongue
this time I'm caught looking for answers to questions I don't want answered
God, make me eat my words
cause I'd rather have a best friend than be bitter and "justified"

Cardinal Points:
All that you had believed in
has gone
to the four corners of the map
carried like ash on the winds
to the cardinal points
you said that greater surface area
lead to more thorough saturation
I'm starting to wonder
I'm starting to see
there are inklings on starch white
hard cardboard packing and printer paper
blood, sweat, and tears
coagulating, staining, and collecting
blurring state lines
melding nations
but I can't shake the feeling
that the human mind and jaded hearts
have so much more ground to cover
before we can really call this a movement

Some Words:
like the sound of a familiar voice
if you could know love
would you let me know
with just a hand to another
we could wake up to a future
of old books and cigarette smoke
a new price for your old pride
I never said anything
I'm thinking you will
finally see it
someday
one day
every day
I wish all our regrets away
my face is clear
above my chest
squinting and blinking
would you stay?
like a photograph in silence
would you stay?
To a smile
forms are falling
heart like a light

You know you love me,I know you care
Just shout whenever, And I'll be there
You want my love, You want my heart
And we will never ever ever be apart

Are we an item? Girl quit playing
Were just friends, What are you saying
Said theres another, Look right in my eyes

My first love broke my heart for the first time,
And I was like
Baby, baby, baby ohhh
Like baby, baby, baby noo
Like baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought youd always be mine mine

Baby, baby, baby ohh
Like baby, baby, baby noo
Like baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought youd always be mine,mine (oh oh)

For you, I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe, we ain't together
And I wanna play it cool, But I'm losin' you
I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring
And im in pieces, Baby fix me
And just shake me til' you wake me from this bad dream

Im going down, down, down, dooown
And I just cant believe my first love would be around.

And I'm like
Baby, baby, baby ohh
Like baby, baby, baby noo
Like baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought youd always be mine, mine


Baby, baby, baby ohh
Like baby, baby, baby noo
Like baby, baby, baby ohhh
I thought youd always be mine, mine

my boi Luda dropped some rhymes too-
When I was 13, I had my first love,
There was nobody that compared to my baby,
And nobody came between us or could ever come above
She had me goin' crazy,
Oh I was starstruck,
She woke me up daily,
Don't need no Starbucks.
She made my heart pound,
And skip a beat when I see her in the street and,
At school on the playground,
But I really wanna see her on the weekend,
She know she got me gazin',
Cuz she was so amazin',
And now my heart is breakin',
But I just keep on sayin'...

Baby, baby, baby ohh
Like baby, baby, baby noo
Like baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought youd always be mine, mine

Baby, baby, baby ohh
Like baby, baby, baby noo
Like baby, baby, baby ohh
I thought youd always be mine, mine

(I'm gone)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (6x)
(Now Im all gone, now im all gone, now im all gone)
Gone, gone, gone,(gone)
I'm gone.
These lyrics are the best lyrics I have ever read. I just wish I could hear them in song form.

It would be nice if it turns out there's actually a KFS member here.
literature as masturbatory paraphernalia.

in danish translation below
1:lyset giver mig ikke styrke i fantasiens univers
bliver til mareridt, lader mig føle vanviddet
kryber ind i min pandelap, som slangen i paradis
hvis mit hoved var halvt, ville det hjælpe
fra alt sorg og mit hoved der ikke kan følge med

2:alle sorger kommer ikke af sig selv og
alle forligste tanker er nu væk
giv en tanke, vis det ikke er for meget
for min hjerne kommunikere ikke med mit hjerte

C-stykke:
giv mig lyset jeg ikke kan se,
giv mig følelsen
giv mig varme

3:jeg nægter at se mit lys slukkes!
giver mig halsbrænd, mavesyre vælder op
den dårlige smag forsvinder ikke
forsvinder
forsvinder ikke
aldrig, nogensinde

translation:
1: the light doenst give me strength in this fantasy universe
turns to nightmare, let me feel the madness
creeps into my frontal lobe, like the snake in paradise
if my head was half, would it help,
from all the sorrow, and my head that cant follow

all sorrows doesnt come by itself
all the wrecked thought are now gone
give a thought if it isn't too much
because my brain dont communicate with my heart

am I the only one that wander in total darkness
or are we all lost?
everybody i talk to doesnt give me strengh, drains me instead,
give me the light i cant see
give me the feeling
give me the warmth

I refuse to see my light turned off!
gives me throat burn, gastric acid overwhelms.
the bad taste never disappears
ever, never

i made the translation really fast so sorry for the broken english :P

she died long before that day I know this tortured, grieving heart of mother no longer knew her own being
and as the sun set on another, you fell through dying dreams
but could not catch them and I could not catch you.
hiding below my shadow yet dancing above my fears
I grip sorrow's edge as you crumble to fall at my soul's tears
I have not forgotten you
but sometimes I can't help feeling numb through and through
closed hands on open arms hold nothing
there is no happy here

I'm gonna take this in English so we don't look like a secret society, lol. I'm from Bengtsfors, a small place in Dalsland. 2~ hours from Gothenburg. Two of my friends has friends down in Jönköping who used to run We Are Angry And Hate Everything (Angry Music For Angry Souls), Victor and Johan I think was their names. Met them once when they came here to visit my pals, and watched a show with us. Do you know them? Legend has it they moved on to write for LWNRTA.
