World She Hides
02:46
|
|||
Shift of the season shakes the corners of her mind / The darkness
seductive the angel cries / Drawn toward the energy through which that
darkness shines / Immersed in a secret her love runs dry / She can’t
deny the beast inside / White lust is ripping tearing / She can’t deny
the beast inside / I’ve been subdued for too long / Bury the beauty and
the selflessness tonight / The aching enchanting she satisfies / Living
the energy of the fairy tales she hides / The angel lay bloody the
dying light / She can’t deny the beast inside / play in my
self-destruction / She can’t deny the beast inside / Sweet summer dies
I come alive / She got it –the world she hides She got it – the
reckless life We’re waiting to know that she’ll be alright ‘Cause it’s
loveless and it’s hungry and we’ve crossed the line

Echoes Of The Dead
02:30
|
|||
Built on a mythologic way of thinking that we own it Lost touch with
all that we know by trying to control it Echoes of the dead reinforce
the walls around you Since the dawning of the West we haven’t grown
Echoes of the dead always humming like an engine Sticking to the plan
we follow ghosts Working inevitably toward destruction We will follow
Just like yesterdays civilizations and tomorrow’s Echoes of the dead…

Friendship
03:02
|
|||
All my love is a compilation of the ones that I have grown to trust We
have withstood the test of time and you’re consistently still kind The
things I like about myself I feel I owe in part to everyone who has
made me feel like I’m worth knowing My friend I know you’ll always be a
part of me Oh the finest moments when we are in tune I’ve learned the
world with you (my strength against the grain) I’ll face this life with
you Hey! We’re OK! Look ahead the struggles never end I know that we’ll
all end up dead Before I make my great depart just know the love’s
stained on my heart And if this bond should slip away everything I’ve
learned will still remain and I’ll smile sometimes when I think about
you My friend I know you’ll always be a part of me And in finer moments
know just why you’re close to me I’ll see you on the inside sometimes
we’ll break these barriers Lost and imperfect with my friends

Let It Go
03:49
|
|||
You’re overwhelming What’s goin’ on behind those eyes? You’re so
persistent to call yourself a friend of mine What do you really want
from me? Is it acceptance is it someone you can prove your worth to
You’re overwhelming I’ve had about all I can take You’re brewing anger
I think it’s best you go away Take some time to look beyond yourself
You’re gonna have to if you really wanna connect with me in any sort of
lasting way I’m not who you want me to be And I can’t help you if you
want to be some sort of savior or servant You force positioning You’ve
gone about it the wrong way I’m not who you want me to be So when you
see me see more than opportunity Don’t try to lead me Don’t try to make
me out to be different than ordinary men Just like yourself I can feel
pain and love and mass-confusion Part of this depends on you I’m not
who you want me to be all I can do now is hope you will see that if the
goodness in you wants to enter into me you’ve gone about it the wrong
way I’m not who you want me to be It’s OK I too have been this way I’ve
played that fool before I’m not disowning you Now on the other side
I’ve known the fears you hide and if you want to grow let it go

Bred to be perfectionists obedient illusionists always struggling to
win Protect yourself when you step outside into the range of judging
eyes that validate you as a successful human being But we’ll never win
the fight to sculpt a perfect life Fuck your perfect life And we’ll
always be behind when we chase a perfect life Everybody wants happiness
You believe it exists when everybody is impressed Always for the gold I
go I’m always putting on a show Sizing myself up with the other human
beings But we’ll never win the fight to sculpt a perfect life … We’re
sacrificing life to front a perfect life And we’ll always be behind
when we chase a perfect life

Fragile Line
02:56
|
|||
When not so selfish I can better learn to touch this fragile line
Between the hellish threats of things to come and fears I drag behind
So I can see myself and all I have and maybe I could find that I can
change things for the better in this tiny world of mine I think it’s
time to be alone to sort shit out inside my head This lovely role I
thought was life It isn’t going the way it was planned So I can see
myself it’s not so bad and maybe I can find I can change things for the
better in this tiny world of mine I think it’s time to be alone to sort
shit out inside my head This TV show I labeled life is only static and
madness and pain So I can see myself It’s not so bad and maybe I can
find I can change things for the better in this tiny world of mine And
death is banging on me I’m a steel door So unconscious of the beauty
inside Open up! Open Up!! And wake up to this universe of mine And wise
up to these little lies of mine And change things in this tiny world of
mine

Gatlin
01:20
|

My peers abide by the devil They serve the will of the unholy one
Gatlin is cursed by the devil They’ll spill the blood for the unholy
one Eighteen years of age we shall pass into his grace My peers made a
pact with the devil go spill the blood for unholy one Eternal youth
through the devil go spill the blood for the unholy one And so it’s
said the morning of the dead the kids are splattered red with blood
their parents bled Yeah something’s wrong with their heads

Nothing To Lose
03:58
|
|||
Hit rock-bottom finally “I want to die” He told me He told me “I want
it all to end What makes it worth it anyway when everything you cherish
will eventually be taken from you?” Loss and wishes forced him lower
than he’s ever been Reoccurring tragedy makes everything seem ugly so
ugly He’d never been prepared Change would happen naturally and
naturally did shine the truer colors of defining failure When he rose
he saw with undisputed clarity The world he though he stood on crumbled
underneath his feet and he’s hit with new truth He’s got nothing to
lose this time and he feels like everything he has is everything he
needs With it came changed priorities changes in importance Importance
defined so differently He started living for today and loving
everything he has ‘cause he knows he don’t own tomorrow Even he don’t
know what’s making life so wonderful Maybe he’s realized he’ll never
learn to follow you and your goals and your truth He’s got nothing to
lose this time and he feels like everything he has is everything he
needs He left a world that dubbed him a deadbeat and he’s very happy
ignoring the rules He left a man who’s always pretending that he isn’t
worthy Wonderful truth It’s his own world

So Alone
01:01
|
|||
Miles down in my well of sorrow the light above is barely dim I can’t
tell where the fuck I’m going and I’m not impressed with where I’ve
been Can’t connect with anybody to save me from this state I’m in I
can’t tell where the fuck I’m going and I’m not impressed with where
I’ve been I’m so alone

Point Of No Return
02:57
|
|||
Born, commercialized,
lived under judging eyes
I never felt fully worthy
Devout mythology obscured my vision
but I’m starting to see
that there’s a world somewhere waiting for me
but it’s not the one that you showed me
and I know that I’m on my way
I’m looking in to know god my own way
I can’t cooperate
I’m seeing nothing but insanity everywhere
begging me to believe
that as of yet I can’t afford happiness
Well there’s a world somewhere waiting for me
but it’s not the one that you showed me
and I know that I’m on my way
I wanna leave all your greed behind me
Well I know I’m on my way now
I’ve passed the point of no return
Religion and society
Your easy answers offer nothing but alienation
And I do believe free from your influences I’ll finally see
That there’s a world right here turning for me
and it’s not the one that you showed me
and it’s much more incredible
than any story you’ve ever told me
Well I know I’m on my way now
I’ve passed the point of no return
Yeah I know i'm on my way now
I've passed the point of no return

Awake
03:30
|
|||
Being here with my surroundings Seeing all I’m looking at Evolution
winking at me My face forms a smile I’m awake! In this moment And it’s
all come back in focus Here am I living in it Here am I in everything
Through the form Through the structure I have nothing to escape Spend
so much of my time thinking Feeling like I’m under attack Overlooking
the reality in front of me Wandering down so many paths I’m aware! In
this moment And it’s all come back in focus Here am I living in it Here
am I in everything Always been Always will be Everything is here in me
Yes it is
