- A Shot To End This All
We both know how this ends, I'm on my knees screaming "Save me"
Free me from this hell,
I don't wanna stay here, (I'm ready to leave)
I really hate to ask this (I'm ready to go)
Just close your eyes and squeeze...do this for me.
One shot to end this all, we both know there's no going home,
One shot to end this nightmare we can't wake from,
- Appraisals And Ommissions
When my walls caved in and my foundation broke,
When my sky came crashing and I lost all hope,
I was welcomed with silence.
So I screamed again with desperate persistence,
When I needed you the most… I needed you, not just anyone.
I moved on…
I’m saying thanks… thanks for nothing.
- Ascensions
So sweet and beautiful,
Melodies that break the heart and tear the soul,
Never stop singing.
Smoke and mirrors drying up your throat,
Choke and spit as you reach out for notes,
Never stop screaming.
Pushed far beyond your breaking point,
- Beautiful And Spineless
I won't give up
Hope is not lost
I see so much room for improvement
When talking about my own game
Always working harder, always reaching higher
Always a step ahead.
- Brave Hearts
So let me get this straight
My love for you is deserving of hate?
That I'm wrong for even feeling this way
But my mind won't change
Nothing will ever separate us
I'll keep you close to me I promise
I promise to never let you leave without "I love you"
- cycles
This cycle… must never repeat;
This must end with me.
How could we know any different if this is all we’ve known?
…This cycle must end with me.
I am the product of a broken man,
The embodiment of empty dreams,
- Fight Of My Life
When the curtain falls, will it fall without warning?
Or when the light goes out, will anybody be around?
I’ve seen the tide take everyone I know.
It makes my heart break… is it time to just let [it]?
Maybe it’s time to move on?
Maybe we’ve taken this as far is it’ll go? No…
Not throwing in the towel,
- Heads of Five
Took the fire and wrapped it tight around me,
Took the fear I had and cast it out to sea,
Left to fight alone?
Left to die alone?
Alone but not in vain.
If your day should come,
Take your light and make it known,
- Hope Theory
She’s tired of my words,
Tired of a world that turned on her.
Things were great but short lived,
Now she doesn’t remember how it felt
To greet the new day with a smile
Or a hope that would see her through tomorrow.
“You said things were going to… going to get better.
So why aren’t they getting any… getting any better?”
- Kneel You Traitor
From this day forward I move on
Pushing myself far beyond all limitations
And every distraction placed by you
Because I remember what you said
And how I foolishly believed in every lie unseen
But it doesn't matter now, that me is dead
Done doubting myself (those days are over)
- Passion Vs. Fashion
I've come this far without you, so far without you,
All of the things you've said but little that you've done,
I don't believe you, I can't believe you,
But I still believe that we can take this back.
Every single word goes unheard,
A lack of passion masked by fashion,
I won't let these clones destroy the very thing I've loved so long,
- Paul's Lament
Why are you here?
Why are you mad?
Why are you here?
Why are you mad?
Is 6 feet the extent of your love?
Your trust?
Is that all that stands between us?
- The Consequence Of Dreams
We can feel the strength rising to the surface
Only looking back to see how far we've come
We recall the moment
When courage refused to sit in silence
And we found a strength that we had all along
The black clouds that surround me
No longer hold the weight or strength to bind me
- The Deadliest of Lies
Pictures armed with fake smiles,
Remind me of a time when I was lost,
Broken, and felt totally enslaved… (This is my life)
A life I hated, falling victim to routine,
I've always known that wasn't for me,
The life I wanted, so different from how we're bred,
Still these visions just won't leave my head…my head.
