[Music-Laskowski/Lyrics-Hubbard]
See the beauty in evil
See the evil in beauty
Beneath the dense veil
A dismal embrace awaits
The saddened soul
Within the infinite veil
The blackened stars caress
Every flower dies
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I'm just a no one,
With nothing to give you but Oh
I Love You
He, He buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear when I say,
That he can give you the world,
But he'll never love you the way
I Love You
He can take you anyplace he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you, go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling it's I
Who Loves you
I Love You
I Love You
We wage wars like Pascal waged wagers,
And its on Pascal's wager we send sergeant majors to fight,
It would be nice if we took his triangle,
And we could find new angles more violent and wonderful,
I was thinking of saving the animals,
But first we save people (not animals),
Just 'cause they're almost as rare as love through marriage,
Do you sometimes wish that your siblings were miscarried?
And people made evil,
We decide what it is and decide what it's not,
If you do things illegal,
You can be pretty sure that it would be allowed somewhere else,
But we're happy people,
So there's nothing wrong with the state of things,
If it's making you happy,
Then there's nothing wrong with the state you're in.
We get people that shout down the state,
And they demand justice,
But justice as fairness or truth;
As confused as the next politician
Who tries not to lie in their impossible mission for truth to be told
I think most couldn't cope,
With broken relations to absolute nations above;
When you think that it's love that you bought,
Its no longer a mystery, she was so nice to me.
And people made evil,
We decide what it is and decide what it's not,
If you do things illegal,
You can be pretty sure that it would be allowed somewhere else,
But we're happy people,
So there's nothing wrong with the state of things,
If it's making you happy,
Then there's nothing wrong with the state you're in.
My horse has won; my own son.
Alice and Ivy In fights with Police,
There's a place round the corner I know
They took a turn,
And went the right way.
And they came and they hid in my show.
You Look Lost
Let me know where you want to go.
And then they cut our hair,
What a wonderful world,
What a wonderful world.
Then we had Clothes to wear.
What a wonderful boy,
What a wonderful girl, Said Alice and Ivy,
We're looking for surgeons, It really is time that we go,
They took a car,
And went to London,
And came to the Hospital, O,
You Look Lost Let me know what you want me to do.
And then Alice said she wants to be a girl
Feeling Hungry?
And the doctor said
Just eat this chocolate
And then Ivy said she wants to be a boy
Eat this chOcolate.
And the Doctor said
You're doing Fine
Ivy was a child,
She drank from straws,
She went a walking with the doors locked.
Alice was a devil,
With ivory bones,
HE had a shotgun it was sawn off.
Ivy drank testosterone,
And wanted just to be alone,
She said I will be a man one day,
Alice ate progesterone,
And just wanted to be alone,
Resist.
The world I see is just not right.
Were going to burn it.
Were going to burn it tonight.
We've got these punks locked in our sights.
The ignorance I pledge my life to fight.
Transistor.
Resistor.
Send me a death wave.
They destroy us from the inside out.
Let the virus corrupt us throughout.
Resist.
Trouble.
Looking at a heart once gold, life already lost.
Beginning to the end (a mental holocaust).
And it's so depressing, worrying.
Truth is hard to find.
Trouble here.
Still seeking, repeating.
Still I gotta strive.
I gotta strive, I gotta try.
Engaged with foreign pain, bombs dropped right though your brain.
Life's hard you know the game.
I try but still it rains.
Hearts just explode (Awake I try to see).
Lock and reload (Inhale this life I breathe).
Searching, seeking, now exists a problem somewhere deep inside, now I gotta know.
And I cut though snakes with deadly knives of mind.
And the serpents' fangs again will kill in time.
Times True Reflection:
black blue and broken
i skate amidst these budding streets
(but with a torch to light my path)
crude fakeness always shows its face
(trying to breathe amongst it all)
consuming things
(more take no give)
it never stops!
never have i felt more deprived
times true reflections
black blue and broken
resting beneath a cypress tree
i close my eyes (and finally see)
regaining strength by inner means
the jungle's beasts now bow to me
"rise above" "overcome"
you decide (it's your time)
times true reflections
black blue and broken
no slack habitual and automatic
with light of day building endless entities
the system that consumes
shattering these streets
i feel the jungles beats (beasts)
I AM THE ENFORCER. INTERNALLY I EXIST. I AM THE POWER OF
THE NEW AGE THAT YOU MUST NEVER BETRAY. DON'T UPSET THE
BALANCE OF THE SYSTEM WE WORK SO HARD TO MAINTAIN. TO
SPEAK OR BE SILENT, THE LESSON YOU LEARN. WHEN IT ALL
CRASHES DOWN THERE'LL BE NOWHERE FOR YOU TO TURN. THIS
CLOCK IS TICKING. I KNOW YOU MUST BE THINKING THAT LIFE
IS NOT WORTH LIVING FOR. MISTAKES THAT WILL OUTWEIGH YOUR
TIME FRAME. 24 HOURS A DAY AND WE'RE STILL PAVING THE
WAY. THIS IS THE NEW AGE. WE KEEP YOU BUSY TRYING TO
AFFORD THE MOLDS WE SET FOR YOU. WE MAKE IT SO YOU STAY
IN THE LOOP. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL YOU? THE STRUGGLE IS
FOR LIFE. PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE AGE, THEY BOUND ME WITH AN
IRON CHAIN. THEY SHOOK MY WORLD, THEY TOOK MY NAME, NEVER
FOREVER SURROUNDING MY MIND AND MY DREAMS, IT'S SO CRAZY
TO THINK WHAT I FEEL AND I SEE. I SEE IT'S LIKE A
SLEEPING DISEASE... A SLEEPING DISEASE IN MY REM DEEP
SLEEP. SUBIRSE EL MUERTO... HIDE FROM THE LIGHT CUZ I
CANNOT PROTECT YOU... SUBIRSE EL MUERTO... I'VE BEEN HERE
BEFORE NOW I'M LEAVING IT AGAIN. THIS PLACE IS SO
FAMILIAR, WHERE DO I BEGIN. TO THE CITY OF PAIN THROUGH
THE DARKNESS WHERE YOUR SOUL WILL REMAIN. ABANDON ALL
HOPE AND ENTER INSANE. WHO ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE SUFFERING
IN MY NAME? CAN'T MOVE, ENTIRE BODY IS NUMB. ABANDON ALL
HOPE. GRABBING ME BUT I CAN'T RUN, MOVE OR FIGHT. ABANDON
ALL HOPE. CAN'T MOVE, ENTIRE BODY IS NUMB. ABANDON ALL
HOPE. WHAT DO THEY WANT? WHAT DO THEY WANT FROM ME? - WHO
ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE SUFFERING IN MY NAME? THE PALENESS
AND FEAR IN THEIR CHEEKS AND THEIR BRAINS. TURN YOUR
HEAD, SHUT YOUR EYES FOR A WHILE AND SEE, YOU COULDN'T
FIND A PLACE THIS WILD... ARE YOU LISTENING? SUBIRSE EL
MUERTO, HIDE FROM THE LIGHT CUZ I CAN NOT PROTECT YOU.
I HAD FAITH TO FIND A TOUGHER HOUSE WHERE THE WRECKING
BALL WOULD JUST BOUNCE OFF. WAITING AROUND BUT NO ONE
EVER TOOK THE REIGNS. GOTTA DO IT MYSELF THERE'S NO
BETTER WAY. TODAY, I TOOK A LOOK IN THE MIRROR. IT'S BEEN
27 YEARS AND I'M STILL HERE FOR THE ONES I HOLD DEAR AND
I GOT NOTHING TO HIDE BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING TO FEAR.
WHAT'S THE POINT? THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO SAY. HARD TIMES
IN THIS PIT OF SHAME. I HAD FAITH TO FIND A TOUGHER HOUSE
WHERE THE WRECKING BALL WOULD JUST BOUNCE OFF. VENGEANCE
COMES LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT. EVERYTHING TURNS BLACK
THEN TURNS TO WHITE. HARD TIMES... VIOLENT MINDS... WHAT
IS MY DESTINATION? WHAT ARE MY LIMITATIONS? LIKE A THIEF
IN THE NIGHT, I LEFT IT ALL BEHIND BECAUSE MY JOURNEY IS
Set the stage.
The ambush begins.
Through the windows, the doors were all breaking in.
Did you think we would let you win?
In fear you froze and slow goes your grin.
Satisfaction of defeat calms the plenty for a while.
The decay of a species cure this worlds will to die.
I live my life by choices.
Never thought to question why.
No more remorse in sight.
You know it's all I have.
The sky in reach.
Slowly eating at my soul, don't threaten my peace.
Feeling damaged and appalled, don't threaten my peace.
Defending my goal, don't threaten my peace.
Never slowing my roll, don't threaten my peace.
Well just in case reality comes too late.
It's time to break down everything hope lethargic for a low down power trip.
For all the damage that done another bricks to become another piece of the wall that's barricading us all from the far side brought to the tables that have turned into tragedy focusing on strategy.
Time's up.
What for?
Life grows cold.
In love and war you can't foresee everything when a matter of opinion brings the power of death again.
I was born with the heart of a soldier because I know that I know that
I know I'm already dead.
Life grows cold.
Can you feel that?
Life grows cold.
Can you see that?
Life grows cold.
I'M SEARCHING FOR THE RHYTHM, FOR THE REASON WHY I'M
STILL THROWING DOWN. LET'S GO. LET'S TAKE IT BACK IN
TIME, THE DAYS OF YOUTH WE SEARCHED INSIDE. FOR IDENTITY
WE FOUND HUMILITY. OUR INSANITY GAVE US SOME REALITY. BUT
NOW WHERE DO WE STAND? BETWEEN AWKWARD AND CARELESS HANDS
THAT ARE TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOOR ON WHAT WAS SO PURE.
YOU'RE NOT LISTENING ANYMORE... YOU'RE NOT REACHING OUT
ANYMORE... YOU'RE NOT LISTENING ANYMORE... BUT SOMEHOW
I'M STILL HERE. I'M PUSHING ON TO THE RHYTHM. YOUR TIME
IS RUNNING OUT SON YOU GOTTA FIND YOURSELF... IS THIS A
SIGN OF TIMES? COMPLACENT YOUTH THAT LOOK SO BLIND. WITH
YOUR MENTALITY, THE DETRIMENT IS STIFLING. YOUR IDENTITY
I CAN'T EVEN STAND TO SEE. SO THIS IS WHERE I STAND.
AMONG THE LEMMINGS I'LL JUST HOLD BACK. WITHOUT SHAME
Wake up and I wipe the sleep from my eyes.
With a breath of strength.
I'm late; that's no surprise.
At war with time.
Alarms like land mines.
Your face shows it all with each cut and scar.
It takes strength to remain in these times of war.
You'll never recover so don't look back.
Just keep your chin up high and back he next attack.
Enemies drop bombs of fire again.
Full fledge front line with all of my friends.
The size of your heart determines who wins.
Modern day life; let the fury begin.
So many times I-every time denied.
So many times I justified everything defending a name.
Soft world of fantasy.
Illogical fallacy... Ripped to shred by cerebral force.
Well I don't waste my time.
Look hard and you will find a victim of some injustice.
I'm not sorry for things: The pain that the truth brings, nostalgic energy, time for strength and meditation.
Mankind screams for attention.
Ripped to shreds.
Ripped to shreds by cerebral force.
Routine was never the leader of an important new movement.
People want to know what obstacles mastering impatience.
Behind a mask of ice there beats a heart that's truly on fire.
Everyone's afraid, we're all the same, we're all enraged!
Ripped to shreds by cerebral force.
Nostalgic energy. Ripped to shred by cerebral force.
Nostalgic energy.
I'm not sorry for things: The pain that the truth brings, nostalgic energy, time for strength and meditation.
Mankind screams for attention.
Ripped to shred by cerebral force.
It's the age of fulfillment.
Scattering desolation through the world.
Conquest to lead with devastating force.
War in all it's hideousness.
Pestilence trailing in their wake.
Death in relentless pursuit.
One last ride!
Only someone who's suitably equipped feels no desire for the results of conquest and yet remains absorbed in the struggle.
He alone can truly say that he renounced the fruits of justice, rectified to rise above this.
Can't scar my eyes.
Can't scar, can't scar what my eyes see.
The wisdom of prophecy is revealed and is written in a language concealed.
It speaks with ties to the pains of the future.
Horrific screams discourage sleep and will renounce the fruits.
Fear allows cowardice to be reborn!
Can't scar, can't scar under the ruthless sweep.
Can't scar, can't scar what my eyes see.
ONLY ONE MATCH TO IGNITE THE WAR. EASY TO START BUT TO
END IT'S SO HARD. COMMANDING THE STRINGS OF THIS
MARIONETTE. THE SERPENT'S FANGS, YEAH YOU MUST NOT TEST.
FOR IT IS HERE WHERE I MUST REPENT, IT IS HERE WHERE I
MUST CONSENT TO THE SOUND... CONSENT TO THE SOUNDS OF
BROKEN GLASS... TO THE SOUNDS OF WAR IN OUR CHAOTIC AGE.
HOW MANY OF YOU SAY? HOW MANY OF YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT THE
SLAVE? HOW MANY OF YOU SAY? HOW MANY OF YOU SAY YOU'RE
NOT TOO BLAME. JUDGMENT SET TO RETALIATE. JUDGMENT SET TO
ANNIHILATE. PANIC! IN FEAR I FROZE NOW IT'S BRANDED UPON
MY MIND. I GOT NOTHING TO HIDE. ACCEPT THIS TRUTH LYING
DEEP INSIDE ME. EMPTY HANDS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO NOTHING. A
CRYPTIC MIND IS WHERE I HID ALL MY BITTERNESS. INTERNAL
WAR INSIDE OF MY HEAD THAT PITIES THE FIRE, BUT HARVESTS
I HEAR: The song of 1, 000 voices
(call me)
1, 000 voices remain
(Contentment kills all the pain)
I hear: - the voice of a crying son
- a song of desperate rage
- the laughter of 100 hearts
(- and the pain of 100 more)
And if you listen
All these! Cries Combine
One voice for All (Unspoken
Ties that bind!)
I've wanted for this hour -
Now it's finally arrived
I've waited for this hour all my life
HERE WE GO AGAIN! THE DEMON TALKS IN MANY WAYS. AT THE
END OF THE DAY, ONE LAST DEBT TO PAY. I FINALLY OPENED MY
EYES AND WALKED THROUGH THE MAZE, WHERE THE END OF THE
WORLD COLLIDES WITH THE DAY. DON'T TRUST. DON'T SLEEP.
JUST LISTEN TO THE DEMON SPEAK. WHILE A WICKED WORLD
DOOMED TO REPEAT STILL WATCHING, WAITING ALL NON
DISCRETE. DON'T WALK INTO THAT MAZE... EH FOOL, DON'T
TALK TO ME. I GOT A LOT ON MY MIND AND I'M READY TO
LEAVE... YOU GOTTA HEED THAT WINDY SIGN - ALL LAY TO
REST... I'M STANDING ON THE CEILING AGAIN, NO NEED TO
PRETEND. HERE WE GO AGAIN. I STUMBLED MY HOMETOWN IN A
DAZE JUST SHORT OF DEATHS DOOR IN MANY WAYS. DON'T TRUST.
DON'T SLEEP. JUST LISTEN TO THE DEMON SPEAK. YOU GOTTA
HEED THAT WINDY SIGN. DON'T DISOBEY AND YOU WILL FIND THE
SECRET OF HUMANITY, INFINITY IN TIME, AND THE STRUGGLE
FOR MY SANITY. STANDING ALONE WITHOUT FEAR. NEVER WASTING
A FOOLISH TEAR. AND THE KNIFE GOES DEEPER BECAUSE IT'S
ALL TOO REAL. ALL I THINK ABOUT IS TIME WON'T HEAL. ALL
THAT'S LEFT FOR THE FUTURE IS TO ROT AND DECAY... DOOM-
FILLED CLOUDS AND FORBIDDEN WAVES. - IT'S YOUR
I will pen this for the last time and I'm writing it in blood this time on the highest wall for all to see.
Have we lost our humanity?
Searching for a witness.
Can I get a witness to bring this juggernaut to justice.
Does our blood not boil?
Do our hearts not burn?
Outrage, outlive, outlast?
We're all stuck with a heavy load on our backs down this winding and narrowing road with no hope to show.
As the sun sets our veins turn cold.
What can we do with this heavy load?
We must try and fight!
We're losing our souls... our souls.
Very few feel the impact.
Now in fact the facts are all fleeting.
Now the few contract for fortunes while the rest are left to die.
So please I beg you, listen to me.
I tell you this is more than words on a page.
I lost myself a thousand times...
Now I succumb to senses blind.
It's all or none.
(No glory in the goal of some
All or none its black or white
(No strength now for shades of grey)
I THIRST! I DREAM!
I BURN! - I SCREAM...
I slow my heartbeat
Indifference holds my sanity
Yet just intoxicated.
By thoughts of Self
(This worldly frame! This cage! This Hell!)
Unknowing Fool I Am
To join its Ranks and spectacle
Hugh spun language, but we're not hearing the words.
It spoke to us at birth, it said "Men, when something starts there's got to be an end.
"The mind, it suffers more.
Heads up to the sun when the world turned cold.
Blind as a bat to forever unfold the lies that were taught to the young by the old.
There hearts are stone but once gold.
There eyes are wide, their tongues are tied, they're sold.
Bound and gagged and thrown into the cold.
Living suicidal, trying to understand, this worlds on wheels.
Build it up, watch it break.
Giving up, there's no way.
Listen up, you've got a lot to learn.
Inside lies a purpose driven life.
High spun language, but we're not hearing the words.
It spoke to us at birth, it said "Men, when something starts there's got to be an end.
" Cycles die and then begin again.
Pinned by inner demons.
Sing the anthems call: We're born, we lie, we live, we die.
[Chorus]
I find myself alone
In a grove overgrown
In the presence of my own
Left to figure it out
(To question and doubt the ways of a crowd)
Trust me;
I have little to lose
(But the shedding of skin)
And nothing to prove so away do I move?
On a journey deep within
What can you find on a screen
That you can't see in a dream?
What can you find in a rule
That was written by fools?
I'll find my path
And I'll find my way
To a better life
And to a better day
What can you find in a law
That you can't judge on your own?
What can you find in a verse
That you can't find in your soul?
I'll find my path
And I'll find my way
To a better life
And to a better day
What can you find in a law
That you can't judge on your own?
What can you find in a verse
That you can't find in your soul?
I'll blaze a path
To the center of my soul
I'll pray to God that I never lose control
I'll find my path
And I'll find my way
A better life
A better day
I'll blaze a path
To the center of my soul
I'll pray to God that I never lose control
I'll find my path
And I'll find my way
A better life
You wage a war that warrants no worries.
A coward's shrug.
Bank bullets and stories.
Your lies they victimize but I am the lion.
Where I spit a fire starts.
Outspoken hearts.
Restless as sharks.
I smell the fear on your breath.
With salvation your soul I will test.
And now the fury starts to shake me.
Here's to the black and blue.
You die for me, and I die for you.
No sympathy.
We will not waste words...
Unfulfilled, Insatiable thirst.
Another way (Another way worth seeking light
From the Shadows of Birth
BReak my fall
The Life
That's in front of me
Minus the insanity
SIlently its trifling
(Staring Back)
No Cure for this weight
(I'm staring back)
Searching low for a higher truth.
I hear the bears as the sounds break through.
'Til the music transfers to movement and the message flows through the conduit.
Reaching out for an inward taste.
I see the mirror but I see no face.
That's the price for seeking solutions outside of you own convictions.
Your own convictions.
It's no coincidence, inhuman with distastefulness.
Nothing so much as the dream of a sleeper.
Heading forward in backward land.
Backed by few with their hearts in hand.
Destroying the thought of perfection.
Embracing life, the vice and redemption.
A victim of his own self worth cast from society, a judgment so stern.
Destroying the thought of perfection.
Embracing life, the vice and redemption.
It's no coincidence, inhuman with distastefulness.
Nothing so much as the dream of a sleeper.
A moral anecdote.
Self evident and hard to cope with, cope with, cope with life.
Because I'm on the outside and I'm looking in.
Searching for the bright side, that's the way I live.
Destroying the thought, the thought of perfection.
Embracing life, the vice and redemption.
I WALKED THROUGH FLAME. I SWAM THROUGH FLOOD. I'VE SEEN
DEATH'S FACE AND IT WASN'T ENOUGH. I LIVED THROUGH
DROUGHT AND MANAGED TO DRINK. I'VE HAD MY DOUBTS WHEN THE
BLIND BELIEVED. AS WE NOW STAND TRIAL FOR THE SINS OUR
FATHERS MADE. THE REAPER DIGS A SHALLOW GRAVE AND I KNOW
WE'LL FIND REDEMPTION YET, IF IT TAKES ME 'TILL MY LAST
BREATH. YOU SEARCH YOUR LIFE BUT NEVER HAVE TO LOOK FAR,
TO SEE HOW YOU ARE. SEE- SEE HELL AND HIGH WATER COMING.
HOW- HOW THESE OBSTACLES ARE NOTHING. YOU- YOU ARE THE
CHOSEN ONE. ARE- ARE YOU THE CHOSEN ONE? SEE- SEE HOW YOU
Lightning strikes again.
To waken life within.
A shock runs through our hearts.
Our veins are torn apart.
And into night we fled, with thoughts of home inside our heads.
We found the latches locked.
In the rain all night we knocked, and knocked and no one came.
Forgotten voices voiced in vein.
Truth did free my mind.
Fear locked the door behind.
And now we're all alone.

[Chorus]
Walk another day on the tight rope.
Say your prayers and hold on tight.
Did you know that they live on the wire?
Did you know that they waste so much time?
It's time to lose.
You break.
You'll pay for your mistake.
In tears for years.
Endless, sadness is broken?
I think you must be joking.
This young man ain't breathin'.
This young man is leaving.
Icy hands won't unclench their fists.
Emergency, emergency.
Suffering to breathe!
Hurry hurry, not dying in vain means being remembered.
When life's taken spinning and playing back toe memories won't be mistaken.
This young man is bleeding.
This young man's retreating from the punishment of constant pain and now the time has come to meet his fate.
Who could have thought the price of punishment could justify the price of ignorance?
They said it was because my temperament.
But I don't know, I guess it's redundant.
Hurry hurry, not dying in vain means being remembered.
When life's taken spinning and playing back the memories don't be mistaken.
Fear won't take us.
Who would have thought the price of punishment could justify the price of ignorance?
They said it was because my temperament.
Fuel manipulation.
Fuel bribery.
Fuel scavengers profiting from simony.
A lust for life, a means to an end.
Over indulgence.
Insatiable desire to have something-anger, denial of the truth.
Uncontrolled feelings of hatred and-anger denial of truth.
On a quest to lose you soul, yet equipped to not explode.
Hatred and anger, denial of the truth.
So concrete and meaningful discouraged by what I see.
Fueled by failure!
Fuel a victim of his own.
Fuel self denial followed by impatience.
Fuel envy deprived revenge and spite.
Fuel the transgressions of greed.
Insatiable desire to have something-anger, denial of the truth.
Uncontrolled feelings of hatred and-anger, denial of the truth.
Uncontrolled feelings of hatred and-anger, denial of the truth.
You can't blame anyone except yourself.
You know damn well what you reap.
THE WAR UNSEEN. BETWEEN THE LINES OF PROMISES AND DREAMS.
A WAR UNSEEN. I'VE ALWAYS DONE THE BEST WITH WHAT WAS
GIVEN TO ME AND THAT AIN'T MUCH. THE DEVIL IS DOWN AT THE
CROSSROADS WHERE FEW HAVE MADE IT BACK ALIVE. THE
CROSSROADS WHERE SOULS ARE SOLD. THAT IS WHERE I'LL FIGHT
FOR MINE. NOW WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? WARFARE TO TRICK THE
EYE. IN THIS DARK DUALITY I CHOOSE LIFE. THE WAR UNSEEN.
BETWEEN THE LINES OF PROMISES AND DREAMS. A WAR UNSEEN.
NOW WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? WARFARE TO TRICK THE EYE. IN
THIS DARK DUALITY I CHOOSE LIFE. NOW WHAT SAY YOU? THE
DARKEST PROPHECIES ARE TRUE. NOW WHAT SAY YOU? YOUR RED
From every broken window pane.
From every life worth being saved a light will shine again to thaw the frozen, pierce the clouds again.
Breathe in light, or take in your last breath.
There is no truth more absolute than death.
They said this darkness lasts, again they're proven wrong.
As the moon moves past, far past-far gone.
You've go to breathe in light for a new sun rising.
One last breath for a new sun rising.
I've traveled far across a frozen sea in search for life, now looks like life found me.
Breathe in life, or take in your last breath.
There is no truth more absolute than death.
This urban wastelands screaming.
Out here life has no meaning.
We're waiting on... we're waiting on... we're waiting on for death.
Resistance is born in the light of a new uprising, rising.
Hide from the light if you're not with the new sun rising, rising.
(Look again)
reflected, terrible emptiness
perfect ones slumbered here
(seeking death?) horrified
flip the switch-awakened
recognize fully recognize wretchedness
this gloden cage has kept you locked away
mesmerized by all the worthless games
you play
why arent you satisfied
(ill rise twise as high)
breakdown arise
I write, you read.
You dance, I scream.
Retain a lifestyle they can't reach.
Cowards lurking in my shattered window as deceit and lies knock at my door.
Shackled down I feel the sickness growing when wisdom is seeping through the cracks.
Concept erased.
Pain struck embrace.
Something's for sure; we are the cure.
I want to know just how long it takes to keep running from something you know you can't control.
Feel that?
Heartache replaced with a calmness of being
(Accepting all that i used to deny)
Waking up in the heat of a blazing sun
Beyond the noise,
Beyond the decay.
(But) I travel light cause i don't know the way
Without the way within (the way within)
And yet they say... x 5
Forget (forget)
Repress today
And yet they say
Forget (forget)
No urgency
Never again will I torture or kill to find a secret beyond the debris
I couldn't grasp the key
(I couldn't see)
That it was here with me x 2
Now I could never believe
(In your shroud of apathy)
Now I could never believe
I've let you have a peice of me
Now I can never return
With the walls of flame the bridges burn
Not with a match
Not with a match
Not with a match
But with a blowtorch x 2
With walls of flame the bridges burn
Not with a match but with a blowtorch
With walls of flame the bridges burn
Not with a match but with a blowtorch
Going down the way within
(Going down the way within)
Not with a match but with a blowtorch
Going down the way within
(Going down the way within)
If you have faith.
If you have faith in what you claim to believe you know it's your own path.
Brainwashing, brainwashing.
Your identity, what's it about?
What's it about?
Go on and close your eyes, accept what's unacceptable.
The torch was list by those who seek enlightenment not power trips.
Crucifier, don't tread on me.
Crucifier, go on and eat me!
What pains me the most and enraged me the most is the genuine, arrogant confidence.
Note your brains is so damp that fish could have swam, brainwashing your camp.
Brainwashing, brainwashing, brainwashing you!
Yet so hungry and angry.
Angry!
Such a feeble attempt to break me.
Break me!
I'm calling you out so eat me.
Belly!
Eat me, belly!
Crucifier, I'll be the one with a thorn in my side now come on!
Eat me!
Crucifier.
Now I see: Everything in front of me.
A gamble if I win or Lose
The world of the sense amused with:
The Banishment of lovelessneess/happiness.
(And it doesn't seem far away from a Loaded Dice Game)
Brainwashes creep up inside of me
No matter what: remember where you came from
From a city that always sleeps
(T-Town in a Burdened Tweak)
Betting the table again and its disappointing to say.
Throwign Dollars away...
Blank Stare (Willfull Decline)
With Nowhere to turn I think I'm losing my mind.
Soul Sickness of: - The rich
- The weak
And theres nothing left
But Nothingness
(The Agony of honesty honestly wished away)
Few words possess the guilt trip that's expressed.
Another word for trapped is created by identity lost.
I've lost all words to say.
A broken code of dignity.
Pitiless perseverance, see it be unleashed on the broken ones.
Time passed cause nothing lasts.
I remember the last thing that you said, "Follow your path and use your head."
Sometimes in face I gotta make my way I know.
I know I'm not alone, I know I'm not alone.
It's true that nothing lasts.
Now so much time has passed us.
Everybody lives to the rhythm confused on where to go.
I'm so tired but I can't sleep.
My tongues tied and I can't speak.
These tears run down my cheek, I know I've lost all words to say.
Life's more than a heartbeat.
The only candle that lights the day.
Can't lose my recollection.
Time passed cause nothing lasts.
I remember the last thing that you said, "Follow your path and use your head."
Sometimes you know it's hard when life is cruel.
Just do my thing
You know I understood everybody lives to a rhythm.
Knowing that I know I'll see you soon.
Time that passed.
Nothing lasts.
I remember the last thing that you said.
I understand.
Follow your path and use your head.
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts.
Sometimes it's hard when life is cruel.
I understand, I understand.
ONE DAY YOU WILL CEASE TO EXIST. NO BLURRY LINES OF
CONSCIOUSNESS. THE ONLY THING LEFT IS VISION OF LIGHT,
REMEMBERING MOMENTS FROM YOUR LIFETIME. REGRETS THAT YOU
COULDN'T FORGET. THE REOCCURRING NIGHTMARE THAT YOU LIVED
WITH. NO RECONCILIATION. ONLY TO DIE WITH NO SELF-
PESERVATION. WE'RE ALL GUILTY. TIME WON'T STAND STILL.
IT'S TIME TO CHOOSE YOUR WILL. LOVE AND HUMAN ERROR.
NEVER WASTE A FOOLISH TEAR... ALL ALONG THE WAY. OF ALL
THE WASTED YEARS YOU CAN'T TAKE BACK ALL THE PAIN THAT
YOU ONCE FELT, AND NEVERMIND THE HEARTBREAK. IT WAS NEVER
REAL IN THE FIRST PLACE. NEVER REAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THERE NEVER WAS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. THE
LIMITS OF YOUR TIME AS YOU PLANNED IT TO BE. TIME PASSED
THAT YOU COULDN'T FORESEE. ALL ALONG THE WAY. LOVE WON'T
I too refuse that empty dream.
Born in castle with hope in hand.
Locked in cage and told to sing.
I'll break the bars that break and bind me.
I choke on the words.
I can't spit them out.
I choke on the words.
I'll break your words before they suffocate me.
You destination ranks second to none.
Stepping on the weak.
Always watching out for number one.
My flesh is ripped right off the bone to feed the mouths all but my own.
All but my own.
Tonight.
This life.
This plan.
This fight.
We found our rhythm in the rage.
That burning light that needs no stage.
Though left with nothing you forget.
Through nothingness we smash.
Rework.
To build upon what's real.
Like setting sun the desperate glory fades.
Old lies so sweet can taste3 so true.
But strip away: a death obsession, a gimmick, a clever cloak.
And of your brave now broken world what will remain?
This war means more than metaphor.
This fight is all too real.
Safety: Off (An Introduction)
Scene Celebrity
You "paid your dues.
"Now you think that we owe it to you?
Wake up from your self righteous haze, and realize you mean nothing; a worthless charade.
You're a scene celebrity.
You have no right to look down on me.
Hardcore; my life and my pride.
How can you sit back and judge my life as a lie?
One more time.
Pushed aside my life and my pride.
Special no thanks that you put on the side.
Taking me than what you put in.
You have to act tough, talk tough, to hide what's inside.
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows,
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows.
No chance for a second chance
When the arrows start to fly.
No way is an easy way
To say goodbye.
No dream is ever lost
If you never cease to try.
Never thought you would walk away
From my side.
I just can't hide from
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows,
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows.
Life is ever changing,
Nothing stays the same,
Nothing in this whole wide world
Can turn us back again
'Cos where we're standing now
Is the point of no return,
Looking back on a world that's got to learn
You just can't hide from
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows,
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows.
Love is the shield
When you're standing
With your back to the wall
And if you turn around
And walk away
You're never gonna lose
'Cos love conquers all.
No chance for a second chance
When the arrows start to fly.
No way is an easy way
To say goodbye.
No dream is ever lost
If you never cease to try.
Never thought you would walk away
From my side.
I just can't hide from
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows
Your time is near spare me your tears.
No judgment here just constant despair.
When will it end, when will it end?
It's time to break this cycle.
I watch you sink. (Why do you think what you think?)
Now did you really think(about what's really going on.)
That I've forgotten how (When will it end, will it end?)
A fresh kid went so rotten?
With this annoyance.
I will destroy it.
This beast who commonly thinks the only cure is more disease.
Go around like you're as cold as your attitude.
With a problem or a clue, it's not really you.
Drop that, cause you don't need that.
Just can't miss what you'll never have, feel that.
I watch you sink. (Why do you think what you think?)
Now did you really think(About what's really going on.)
That I've forgotten how (When will it end, will it end?)
A fresh kid went so rotten?
When will it end, when will it end?
Now why do you think what you think, when will it end?
Your attitude about what's really going on.
The only cure is more disease.
Break this cycle.
Because your time is near.
I don't understand why anyone would do this.
Not only kill another, but help them build excuses.
More police control,
more oppression of our rights.
A call to arms, a reason to fight.
Power to repress,
to kill without evidence.
Supported by the public via mind control in the press.
Keep your eyes open wide.
When truth speaks,
there's nothing to hide.
Inside.
Believe what papers say.
Go on about your day, no matter what they say to us.
It's going on:
World War III,
mass destruction.
Take care where you stand.
Take care who you kill.
It's you who is inciting fear to abide.
If I keep this locked inside.
In my country I confide.
No way that he can hide from us on this crusade.
It's been played,
and I don't want to fight.
Retract your rage.
Act your age.
No war we wage is worth it.
Television station reaches more than we can teach.
Domestic deception.
In this 'operation' try to practice what you preach.
We say this, but we sit still.
Watching it burn right before our eyes.
The stone grinds for the very last time.
I'm here by instinct to rectify a lost system put into submission.
Look, I'm a grain of sand and so are you.
Don't follow footprints, you're not a tool because many have trouble following themselves.
Because she never knew, she never know the results of manic depression.
Because she never knew, she never knew what borderline insanity's like.
The mind grinds into dust in fact.
It's a tragic waste in this time and place.
The mind grinds from the strength that's lacked.
But it's true that the week go out like that.
She kissed the gun
Persuading herself that it's all she wrote.
She kissed the gun.
Discovering silence misguided in fear.
Because she never knew, she never knew the results of manic depression.
Because she never knew, she never knew what borderline insanity's like.
Generated filth and frustration.
This time it's not homicide.
The stone grinds for the very last time.
The stone grinds for the very last time.
Six feet deep and the truth's not hard to find.
Six feet deep!
This time it's not homicide.
Six feet deep!
He was a bored ', she was a bored lover

Where you can get your head down

I always said she was a runner,
And running through the fields,
I put a gun, I put a gun to her,
With the force she came to kneel,
And as she screams and in her own blood,
I said sympathy for you,
I'll never have, I'll never have none,
Its time you told the truth,
And I left the gun beside her,
And running in the nights,
I run for land, I ran for safety,
For new places and new sight,
Always said she was a runner
And I thought I knew her well.
I never thought I was a runner,
and I thought I knew her well.
You should have died that very night,
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer,
you took my life, and I took my flight,
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer.
I always knew her as a baker,
But something I knew not,
is That when I tried to take her,
There was something Ides forgot,
For I knew I couldn't keep her,
And running out of time,
I tried so hard, I tried to cheat her,
She was a running in her prime,
So I thought about my choices,
And chose to drop the gun,
And amongst the screaming voices,
Something told me I should run.
I never thought I was a runner,
and I thought I knew her well.
I never thought I was a runner,
and I thought I knew her well.
You should have died that very night,
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer,
you took my life, and I took my flight,
Good job for you I wasn't born a killer.
There is so much to remember,
But there is more to forget,
I isn't seen you since December,
I'm surprised we haven't met,
and In the Depths of the Silly Isles,
I heard you reside, and in the depths of my mind,
