- all in a year
where have you gone?
how does time pass by so fast
seems like yesterday
you and i
we could relate
but you know how things change
but is it me? or is it time?
now Im stuck looking back
- Always
Never thought it would be this way.
But this gap between us grew, we grew two separete ways.
I never set out to tear this down, cause in my heart it's worth,
it's worth so much more, than I could ever show.
It's worth more than I can show, with words that I can't say.
The pain is wearing thin, how did this fall apart.
I'm reminded of a time, I thought you'd never slip away.
Was I to quick to run away?
- Balance
We’re not the first, wiping ice from the blinder’s eyes.
We don’t know how long this will tide us over.
See results divide into very clear realities.
You couldn’t set them further apart and I
can’t ever look far enough.
Reach up to the highest point or brought down to the lowest level.
The balance will allow. Split and substain in front of me.
- Because Of All The Things You Say
Face and embrace.
When decisions lead up to consequence.
I force down the drain
any remnants left I let slip away.
Because of all the things I couldn’t say to you.
Because of all the things I couldn’t say to you.
Because of all.
- Beyond
Beyond our love is the truth and it comes between us
Beyond our love is the proof and it passes through us
Until the wool has been pulled from our eyes
I can't acknowledge if I keep denying
Until the moment when we realize
Process all this, going in blind
All day long forcing me to come to terms with reality
- Biting Tongue
Every time you point the blame,
I'm left to clean the mess.
With every single word that's said,
I'm left to clean the mess you're leaving.
You can have your power trip.
And you can call it truth.
No one cares and no one hears you.
Bite your tongue.
- Bright Lights Keep Shining
from the start of the day
to the end of the race
we thought we had this all figured out
without a moment to waste
but we choke, we choke on our words
we waste all of our days
throw off another year
living our lives is our greatest fear
- Broadcasting
A common threat sits in our house
They keep on warning me
But I'm not always listening
And yesterday I heard the news of fire at my doorstep
But this morning they're just disputing semantics
Disputing semantics
Blatantly apparent
Necessary illusions, broadcasting…
- Changing Face
What have you become?
Now you fight a losing war.
I look at this and it's all a mess.
Seems like anything that's real, I just can't see.
I can't see the truth in you.
I can't see the real in you.
Show your face and take the world.
But instead, you have to fit the mould.
- Come Around
I saw you on the fence
Whistle of the current's getting louder now
Disconnecting
Now is the time
Just barely hanging by your fingertips
Disconnecting
- Crooked Floors
If I had the ability
I’d filter my vision. I’d rather not to see.
Take me out of the picture.
Take me out of the picture.
I don’t know how to do this right.
We’ve hammered the point home. Now it’s just a drag.
Take me out of the picture.
Take me out of the picture
- Dead on the Fence
THE STORM'S RUSHING
DEAD ON THE FENCE LINE
STORM JUSTICE
THE ILLUSTRIOUS
NEVER LET THE METER DECREASE
STEP OUTSIDE AND STAY A WHILE
THIS RENDITION'S CRADLING ME
- Defeated
Here I've been going over reasons
And you keep looking over my shoulder
Hold me now to these promises I haven't made
Time will tell just how much you'll act on what
You’ve said
Either way, my mind's been made up for me
Either way, it's wearing me thin because
- Didn't Even Mind
I felt the pressure building up pushing from every side
You didn’t even mind
It took the rest of me to stop and say no more
You didn’t even mind
Am I just reading it all wrong? Too many voices overtaking and I’m misplacing
Wasting this precious time, avoiding signs
I’m in too deep to quit and there’s just too many good reasons that keep me sucked in
- Die Knowing
I was searching the streets where we lost our stride, making our way through the earth
My heart was marching to a different beat while my choices were making it harder to find
You took the straight and narrow, prying eyes watching from overhead
I took the other, down, but recovered and I would do it all over and over again
Disappointment, dedication
Elevated catastrophe
- Die Tonight
Something in your eyes tells me that you want more,
or maybe something less.
But I just won't know, standing outside looking in.
Broken dreams. Memories.
Maybe now's the time to go.
Let's go.
I'll save my last goodbye.
For now I'll leave this at goodnight, tonight.
- Do Yourself A Favor
I want to know how the story goes
and if the sad song writes about how much you know
about what really happened. Obviously
you've got a skewed view or you weren't present to see.
With a healthy dose of evident
fabrication filling us in.
I want to know where you're coming from
- Face the Fire
A PRODUCT OF CHANGE, THROUGH A PRODDING FOR PAIN
BITING A TONE YOU'VE HEARD ONCE BEFORE
THE DAWNING OF ANOTHER INEXCUSABLE
ACTION REMORSE WITHOUT RECOURSE
FRAUDULENT CIRCLES BELOW
THIS GLASS CEILING HAS TURNED TO STONE
IS THERE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO?
OVERLOOKED - MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE WILL KNOW
- Falling Apart
Right now I'm feeling useless
It's all the same
It's all the same to me
This curse is growing stronger
This isn't how I thought it would be now
I would pave the way
But I've got nothing to say
Thinking out loud
- False Idols Fall
Your time is up!
We've been counting down your days,
Going over every false thing you say.
We wish it could be different.
We wished you stayed the same.
Tearing down our idols--living life our own way.
Taking the chance to say
- Final Goodbye
THIS IS MY FINAL GOODBYE
now I can say it's real
and I can feel the pain
all I do is reason
I wanna change things but I don't have a say
SCREAMING EXPECTATIONS
they've got me by the throat
- Get Alone
Get alone
Man it’s a shame. It’s a stumbling block
and it seems I’ve found the order to this sour addiction.
I’ve grown accustom to it showering me.
Switched gears but the cycle isn’t making it easy.
I was running, I was running on empty ideas,
but I had to write them down just to listen.
- Give And Take
How far would you go to satisfy? Everything that you long for And you wanted so bad It seemed to take over you world Nothing in this life is ever free You've heard a billion times Still there's a gap haunting you Questioning the air you breath Questioning the truth To find substance To find a truth Something absolute in a stone cold world I guess it's easier said than done But there's a life that goes beyond Now all I can do is share What I have with you Everytime you walk away Everytime I'll be the same That's a choice to respect That's a choice I accept But I'll still be here I'll always be here I'll always...
- Goodnight tonight
Something in your eyes tells me that you want more,
or maybe something less.
But I just won't know, standing outside looking in.
Broken dreams. Memories.
Maybe now's the time to go.
Let's go!
I'll save my last goodbye.
- Hailing On Me
I was wrong, but I just can't
I won't acknowledge it
I couldn't help but to admire
Step in a place where nothing else matters at all
Suspicion leaked when they called
Hail on my head if I tell
But maybe I can fix this quick
- Heavy Steps
HEAVY STEPS ON HOLLOW GROUND
YOU'RE TESTING UNDER ESTIMATING
AND LOOK, IT'S NOT THE FIRST
ARE YOU SURE?
IT'S A PATTERN. SEE?
JUST SETTLE DOWN, A BIT FADED
SPIN ON UP, CAUSE YOU MIGHT AS WELL LEAVE IT TO REST
- I Depend, I Control
We repeat it.
Repeat. Our habits form
I don’t know if you can see, I’ll shed a bit of honesty
This feeling, never had before. Repeating and the habits form
Such...an ominous mystery, Crave...that certain serenity
We repeat it
- In Case Of Fire
They had finally come to grips
And the pieces somehow fit
Could it be?
Yet something's lingering
“What is it?”
At first she had her eyes down staring at the floor
Uncertain, she lifted them to find the words
- Industry Standards
So the sun has been going down earlier
But my days just keep getting longer
Through the noise, hanging for inspiration
My eyes getting wider but still
None of my questions have answers yet
But I'm not deterred from asking them
I'll celebrate unaccompanied
- Intuition
I wonder why
Lately I've been thinking of a time
Product of our surroundings and we held up the sign
I loved, I learned, we sang all the words
Wednesday mornings we would always sit in the
Biggest room
One of those days still in my mind
- Lorelei
You told me I better walk away.
Just liek to me to never hear what you say.
Tempting fate.
The story unfolds.
Should have seen it.
You told me I better walk away.
And just like me to never hear what you say.
Twisted fate.
- Losing Patience
I was looking forward to this day for so long
I had it all planned out
I was hoping it'd all work out
I was losing patience
you know it's never been my best trait
counting minutes, hours, counting days
then it dawned on me
- Losing Sleep
You told me once, back at it again
Always the same with it, I can't stop you
Well maybe it's true for you, but I'm not seeing it
You wanna live with it, but I've got no room
Well maybe it's true for you, and I won't stop you
Give me some space to breathe, 'cause I've got no room
Well maybe it's true for you, and I can't stop you
- Lower the Line
Stormy summer day is in the way of all the could’ve been's and should’ve been's
How do you anticipate this distorted tragedy
Things like this don’t just go away, things like this tear your family
And I admit I can’t relate, believe me I won’t walk away
’Cause when the circumstance holds you back...Lower the line
Harness, focus Your broken vessel
- Magnet Pull
It’s funny I was just thinking about
how much we used to get caught up in the clouds,
questioning each other.
And then you called and you asked me where I was today.
Just like every other.
Well, I just I know that sometimes we’re more distant than others.
It doesn’t stop
- Market Demands
The masses said
By popular demand
Cheer me on now closer to the edge
I didn't think I could follow through
But I did out of convenience
Well I'm looking at the bigger picture
And I figure this one's insignificant enough right?
- Menacing Weight
DREAMS ARE MEANT SENT TO INVENT
WEIGHING IN FROM SOMEWHERE UNSUNG
IS IT FICTION I'M STILL WRESTLING WITH OR A VISION I ONCE HAD?
RUST DRENCHED RESENTMENT STILL FILLS PART OF THIS SOUL
THESE STABS ONLY HURT ME. PROVING STILL INSATIABLE!
I WEAR A MENACING WEIGHT NARROWING ME
- My Other Side
Well that's what I thought,
You always finish before we start.
Don't have to say a word.
Living for these moments.
Who's been let down?
Who's been dragged down?
Been through this so
- Never Fade
I think I'm losing. Is it too late for me?
I thought, I always thought I'd make it through.
I'm asking you, why?
Is it too late for me?
Your answers never clear or maybe it's just me.
I never took the time.
It's something that I see now.
And I know that you tried but something always held me back.
- No Easy Way Out
THERE'S NO EASY WAY OUT
AND THERE'S NOTHING TO PROTECT YOU NOW
THERE'S NO EASY WAY OUT
AND THERE'S NOTHING WORTH PROTECTING HERE ANYWAYS
BEEN A WHILE SINCE THE ENEMY SHANKED US. THE HYPOCRISY!
BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU STRUCK A NERVE
SOUL SHOCKED, AND I'M WAITING: SERVE
- One Left Satisfied
There was desire that burned
And when the dust had blown away
There was a whisper of gold
No reservations, they were expecting for some time
- Operative Word
The bloods left on my hands
And its up to me to wash away
Its up to me to make it right
Forget the past
What's done is done
I always said so easily
Now its time that I live my words
- Our distance
i want to see you here with me
and i want to tell you what you mean to me
but i'll save this, i'll save my breath this time
i think it's almost useless
we both know, we both saw the signs
still i am ASKING WHY
i think i'm falling
- Partners In Crime
i did this to myself
the summer air burning in my lungs
one more glance till i come undone
let's stop this rising sun
bright lights can see
they always shine right through me
leaving me an open book
- Pull Back The Reins
I can’t win. I’m writing it off.
My back’s pinned to the wall.
Pull back, pull back, pull back the reins.
There’s no doubt that all the fuss has just made a mess out of me.
Pull back. Pull back. Let the cycle run its course.
Remind me again, so I can re-learn,
give me a crash course on how this works.
- Shadow of Doubt
IN CERTAIN DOUBT!
WHEN IN DOUBT
SHADOW OF DOUBT HOVERING OVER ME
OVERSHADOWING POWER
THIS DOUBT HOVERING OVER ME
OVERSHADOWING POWER
THIS DOUBT
- Should Know Better
Adamant, adamant. Tunnel vision view. Wasn’t gonna pull the plug, had to see it through
What a bright idea that wouldn’t quit. Somewhat empty but I took a healthy sip
Then I tripped when it got harder to see in over my head and now it’s hanging over me
I’ve only made things worse today
And everyone, everything’s in my way
Adding insult to injury. Are you happy, are you happy now?
Can I tip the scale? Well maybe I’m just bound to fail
- Sink In
Shout out in the morning, calling out in repeat
Medicine’s motivation, couldn’t keep me asleep
Got a good imagination, always twisting the gears
Battle miscommunication, answer-less, it appears I've
And I’ve got nowhere else, and I drift away
Left just in time to get peace of mind, now I divide
Reasons heavy in rotation, stories starting to bleed
- Something less
Last night I thought I heard, heard the sound of hope.
I never knew what to expect, but still I had a goal.
And last night something fazed me.
Today things seems so clear.
The wait. The weight. The listening.
And everything's so clear.
I guess it's something less than what I hoped for.
It turned out something less,
- Somewhere in This Miserable...
Trade back highs and lows within the blink of an eye
Have you ever been burnt so bad? You swore this would be the last.
I never could’ve escaped it I didn’t wanna be seen.
How did it all happen so fast? The only choice left for me…outlast,
Rather be here now more than ever, feed the doubt until you figure how to lock it in.
There’ll always be the thrill of it.
Messed up, pissed off, build on it ’Cause maybe it looks better with a stain on it.
- Standstill
TIED UP BY TWO EXTREMES
PRECEDING YOU NO DANGER, NO ENEMIES
THIS CLIMATE'S LIMITING
I CAN'T LET GO
AND WHAT DELUSIVE SORT OF PARODY
STANDSTILL, AND NO RETREAT
A SMOKING GUN WITH A SLOW RELEASE
- Step Ahead
Back again
Right where I started
And I can't find anything
To take me out of your
Shallow waters
That I've been drowning in so long
Who's here to take me out
- Symptoms And Cures
With the right kind of people
you could certainly put a slight dent in the walls.
It's foundation built on tearing us down,
little by little. Turn it around.
I don't know a lot of people
who have given as much of their lives and dedicated
theirs minds and souls so fervently
- Talk Is Cheap
Your debt's escalating
Whisper no regrets
Run your mouth in circles
You're chewing, chewing the flesh
Your talk is cheap and it's going nowhere
Think you're out changing the world
Choking on each word you spit
- The Blackstone
Seeping in from the outside
Interfering with the silence
I dropped you off and I headed home
But this apartment, It's never felt like my own
I took the long way accidentally
Searched the place but never did see
Somehow I had a feeling that I would find
- The Concept Says
Follow them, bowing out, throw me the flag, I'll take the opportunity.
Stuck in the moment, I'd pay the price if there's a possibility.
I've been caught in the standards, dragged it through the gutter,
And what I left there doesn't mean a thing.
Follow them, bowing out. I'll pay the price if there's a possibility.
I won't stay here, I won't stay here,
I won't stay here, I've got to make the most of mine.
- The Concept Stays
Follow them, bowing out. Throw me the flag, I’ll take the opportunity.
Stuck in the moment, I’d pay the price if there’s a possibility.
I’ve been caught in the standard. I dragged it through the gutter
and what I left there doesn’t mean a thing.
Follow them, bowing out. I’ll pay the price if there’s a possibility.
I won’t stay here.
I won’t stay here.
- The Trouble I Love
So here I go again
We had our chance
Half smile, you look my way
Run now and some might say
We all die alone
And I'll never forget what killed us
She screams to be alone
- True to Form
WRONG TOO MANY TIMES!
WIND MY HEAD UP, RACING TO THE WRONG SIDE
GRAND ILLUSIONS WE COEXIST
CAST A NET, OVERTHROW, INSIST
I'M GETTING CLOSER BUT I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
YOU TAKE A SIP BUT THEY WANT YOU TO GORGE!
- Unconditional
Haven’t been here before, seeing is believing You’re up, not the type to settle grieving.
And while we’re bracing for it, you’re the same, handling, and your life is showing.
Are you afraid anymore? How are you preparing for…?
Check back in a month, over-think it too much. We’re waiting, you’re facing, and bracing for what?
Are you afraid anymore? The light that surrounds you, your faith reinforced
Expect more, and brace for…
- wake the dead
This is our city of the dead
Another life holds its weary head
We hope, we try, we live, survive
Counting days, trying to get by
Waiting for the calling
Anticipation in the air
We hope and dream of difference
City sleeping, unaware
- Wasted Arrows
I wrote it off before the story began and it came down to this, I can’t pretend
You’ve been reckless, and lately I can tell by your front
You’ve misled me before, now I know what you want
I’ve seen versions of you, they’re becoming impossible to follow (well, you’re something else)
Wasted arrows
Two worlds drawn apart; Was it desperation that pushed you over? (I can see you’re not lucking out, man)
Wasted arrows
- Without A Word
In an effort to win
I lost it all
At a standstill
How easily it's said
Now eat your words
Everything that I wanted to say
It seemed to die
