on dawn of the day I arose to the thunder again
the pounding in my head it doesn't seem to phase me how every scream the pretend not to hear echoes through me standing, complacently waiting I try to tell myself our lives are worth more than this so give me a chance to take it all back, I'll show you that I'm worth more than your pittance or pity it's a spit in the face so don't even try to explain the earth shakes beneath my feet and as these buildings they crumble around me I call out if you can hear me come and let me out, oh please break me out! and give me sanctuary you know this whole world knows you won't be satisfied 'til you fill up another cemetery it's all a game to you we won't be fooled by you into thinking that it's easy, nobody said this would be easy to swallow or process or fake and dark will be the day when I elude their desires no longer will I be.. |

Oh, you and me, we're the same
Asking for more, more than the numbing existence Offered us all What did they say? What did they do? To make you crawl back in Despite everything that you've been through You're still right here where I left you We can lift up our hands to the sky Find all of those strings that they're pulling And keep from falling back Into our old rhythmic poses turning us into machines And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves in any way We won't all look the same way down And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves in any way And we'll all take the same way out And all these illusions dropped on a sea of believers Crowding around as they hunt me down And throw me out while all the rest of the others Bang their heads in the dredges And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves in any way We won't all look the same way down And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves in any way And we'll all take the same way out And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves in any way We won't all look the same way down And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves in any way And we'll all take the same way out So don't give up on me, we can still be pretend This is all just a game, that'll work itself out in the end |

we're frozen in the time stretched around your face a mask a clever disguise ever so enticing this corroding chemical synapse spawn of a beast an ethereal drain tatters on the brink burst into a cloud of spores explode into the atmosphere weaving our lives with chaotic design siphons what's left inside suppress us impress us with subtle delusions and life-like proportions bled into one another plagiarize our dreams a rift in eternity all encompassing within it's entirety.. baptized in fire leeching the underbelly tired traditions retired a discord within the choir so sing the praise with your noiseless voices and pass the blame in the age of distorted reality refined relief in chaos unleashed we find release |

These solemn words whispered in a haze
Could you even see me standing there? All wrapped up in insecurities that Won't stop spilling out all over me And in your eyes I see so much more Than that place you always go back to You can pull yourself away from That face that constantly haunts you A graceful approach that you carry on And carry yourself in such a way That could never be recreated And in your eyes I see so much more Than that place you always go back to You can pull yourself away from That face that constantly haunts you We're in too deep, go back to sleep If this feels to synthetic then it's all be a dream Calling on our contracts Controlled contained under pressure We're in too deep, go back to sleep If this feels to synthetic then it's all be a dream So fall forward into me and let it all pour out You owe this to yourself and there's only one way out In your eyes, I see so much more Than that place you always go back to You can pull yourself away from That face that constantly haunts you So rest your head and close your eyes Just one more step till we're over the edge |

On the threshold of life as we know
in a chasm cascading to the core where nothing seems real anymore in between the obtuse and obscene so let the rains come down and explore the possibility that it all ended that day, and like all you dark clouds you skeptics denying your true nature took away past the concrete and the steel flowing down to the valley below drawn out for 99 years splitting the seas this terrestrial being so let the rains come down and explore the possibility that it all ended that day, and like all you dark clouds you skeptics denying your true nature took away dormant beneath us what was will be dwelling within us what is will be no more and maybe it's not all what we built it up to be sustaining scientific prophecy |

The future five align. Empty promises find us all the time.
Would you put it all on the line for the lost and frozen years? Leave us the bastard sons. Leave us the broken ones- To fend for ourselves, one by one. An epitaph not worth looking back. Another sunset falls on red on black. We hit a wall of dotted lines. An epitaph not worth looking back. Post cards of dust on bones. If the bad news doesn't beat us home. A rusted chain of sympathy for time well wasted, losses faded. A rusted chain of sympathy for time well wasted, losses... |

Stripped to the bone
Left standing alone You want everything And find falling home Follow-- follow the hollow And now there's no one left to burn Nothing to lose, nothing to earn Did you find what you were looking for? Was the greed worth selling yourself for? A bloodlust so deep it cuts With the faith of a sadist's Healing touch And you follow the hollow Your life is wrapped around greed addiction And you follow the hollow Your life is wrapped around the things you need Addiction |

You are a servant to your god
You are a slave to a book You say you are just a messenger But you'll end up hooked This place feels like home Walls echo, screaming no This tough love feels Like I'm being choked Dependant on a whim Bow down before him You suckle righteousness And siphon lies This rope feels like home My mouth is gagged My hands are bound This tough love feels like I'm being drowned And in a daze one day You'll wake up old and gray And realize you've alienated Those who cared about you Say you will forgive me me again Your pride is the birth of your original sin Say I can be saved again Well I won't and I think you know Because of you This is not all for him It's for you The blessed father Tainted blood of a martyr |

The beauty of which distracts Until it shatters down Crashes down Those whose colors shown until now Accusations hurled at deaf ears A link that breaks by light let in The truth will surely fade Ever rolling waves Wash them away They'll run from light they helped hide Pointing fingers at each other Screaming Until the sound of truth subsides Screaming slowly turns to singing Songs of shadowing of lies Lies Rebuilding shadowing of lies Lies Circumstantial truth of compromise Lies Rebuilding shadowing of lies Lies Paling apathy for truth survives |

One false move A blank stare is waiting for you Try to piece it together But you haven't a clue A blank stare is waiting for you It sends an impulse out Desperately searching Feeding off remains of it all Another burning bridge Another casualty paid in full Just let it crumble down And put to memory Remains of the wasted years It wouldn't be the first time It's all come crashing down The awful truth is finally out It's worse than you thought Feeding off remains of wasted years |

One nation under the gun
Where forward thinking is shunned A morbid tradition Of archaic value systems Where violence justified Is just another pride Under the surface lies A holy plastic empire With guarded golden fences Where misfortune Shelters decisions A pain wrought from blood flowing green The myth of protection Is a sick fascination A culture of violence is what you are feeding Fear is an heirloom And hate is contagious A nation of sadists is what you are breeding It's everywhere It's everywhere that you see But who decides If you watch or turn the other cheek And only in your mind Is it your given right to be armed to the teeth It's a common disease The only immunity is to disarm This holy plastic empire disease |

You sucking the life out of me I can still feel the chill Down my spine when you told me Always one fateful night That turns the tide Always one fateful night With nowhere to hide To live and die In a day there's nothing Left to say Time will not erase The counting down of the days You finally got What you've been waiting for A handful of pills Didn't soften the blow One month of sucking it in It started to show Waking up to realize It's not a dream Was the hardest thing |

And a heart pumping a need for control Forced to fit inside a mold Living to dehumanize is gonna take its toll Take it in And let it saturate Under the skin Until you can't even Remember when You first felt the sinking Feeling that Something's missing you Traded for a gun Did we inflate your sense of pride And did it feed your lust for power When you threw us to the ground You took what's ours and sold it back Another day another dollar for this town Your uniform made a perfect burial suit |

But your second face is peeling Every word spoken every blink of the eye Deceit makes itself revealing Sickening how easy trust can be offset Blatant truth will burn right through your ?? I hope this happens to you And I hope your soul's splitting in two And you can look me in the eyes Your stagnant poise generates a blame Filtered through the heart that's dying Self absorbed soon enough you'll be rung on And in this pretentiousness attitude drown The twisted truth is inhaled by all But its purest form is thriving This will happen to you Someone you trust will be untrue Rot on the inside This will happen to you And you'll feel the ache of being used |

You live life with a hex over your head A savior's mouth with a serpent's tongue But don't forget, you're like this with the chosen one And I forget about my losing streak But you never slip at a chance to remind It sounds like you should save a prayer for me But I'll take my chances with the unworthy And you know the quick path The righteous, the way back I'll end up the only one I'll end up the lost son And you know the quick path The righteous, the way back I'll end up the only one I'll end up the forgotten And you know the quick path The righteous, the way back I'll end up the only one Swallow it all and wash it all down It must be the weight of that crown And all the lies seem to become me Because it's easier than the truth Failure; the only thing that seems to matter It's not the fact that you're the walking dead So save a prayer for me Don't waste a prayer on me |
