Fall in Line
04:01
|
|||
|
We all fall in our own time
So it’s useless to try and make up your mind
Shadows crawl behind your eyes
Your fear is baseless
And now it’s making you blind
It seems this cycle never ends
Never ends, never ends
Your only defense to pretend
Paint your dreams the color red
But you’re disturbed by what’s been said
Everybody else is living well
Everyone living well
You fall in line
And drop your will
Statues fall and cities crumble
Your world in ruins
Will you be left standing there?
On your own or in your temple
Your crown and orders but no one left to care
I watched you criticize the world
While taking notes you seemed
Enchanted by the deed
When you finally let it go
All it seemed to do is show me-
That you had a need
After I’m done cleaning up your mess-
Such a strange expression leads me-
To your weakened knees
But I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I don’t- Have time to give you what you say you need
Time to go to sleep
Time to go to sleep
That’s what you say
You say time to go to sleep
Will I give a damn if you’re gone?

2 Little 2 Late
03:21
|
|||
|
Coming out of a drill this would seem surreal
But it’s dulling to the senses
When you’re given a losing deal
Kicked to the curb
Like a drunken fool
I’m better for it now and you’re forgetting-
The golden rule
Now you wanna forgive me
You’re so sweet
Remember how it used to be
So complete
If I hadn’t been so dull
And you hadn’t been so mean
I’d be ready to say
Too little, too late
Should have seen it coming
Won’t again next time
Cause I’ll never give enough
Again to lose my mind
Sure I reminisce
And I have an ego
But it’s easy to see I’ve grown
Even more than you know
Now you want to forgive me
You’ve taken all you can take
The next time you need me
I won’t be there for you
Well I remember the times
I dropped it all for you
Now the tables have turned
It seems you never knew
So I let it pass
And I can tell
That you’re alone
In your own private hell

Hidden Master
03:57
|
|||
|
Your hidden master rests under your skin
If you ever knew the truth
You’d never sleep again
It’s a trial without a jury
By the long arm of the law
That slips a little pill
Inside of a tight lipped jaw
Scream now if it helps you
But it only fuels their pride
These hidden overlords
Have never left your side
Searching for a purpose
You’ll find your not alone
But you’ll have to join together
And fear not what may come
Prepare your blinders for the fight
As if everything would ever be alright
Make sure your prayers are air tight
Cause they’re coming-
When you’re sleeping at midnight
Now come in closer if you call me a friend
Time moving slower and the Sun will descend
As we come to the end
The throng slowly awakens
Still many choose to sit
So comfortable in chains
So fearful of the rift
Well, the first line may be broken
But steam rolling along
The avant garde our heroes
And the rest will sing our song

Empty View
04:12
|
|||
|
Though sometimes we may fall
Stumble and fall to our knees
Won’t you get up off the ground
And realize what you need
Sometimes the answers aren’t so clear
But if you open up your soul
And let the light shine through
You’ll never be alone
I’ve got these friends in places
You could only dream of having
And I’ll leave these dreams to you now
The only portion you were giving
Enjoy your empty view
The Sun’s holding up the clouds
As though they don’t know their place
It’s better without them now
The Earth feels a warm embrace

Fill a Need
03:33
|
|||
|
Just one more step to feel connected
But the work is never done
If you don’t enjoy the journey
You’re in hell and never fun
If you can’t live in the moment
Are you ever really satisfied
Or would you rather watch the clouds
When you’re fried
The truth is
You’re the last line of the deed
Had to make my day complete
My missing puzzle piece
So fall in place
Accept impatient greed
To pause would mean deceit
You’re just here to fill a need
As an idea you’re not a person
I can use you as I may
I’ve had so many in my room
Before I threw them all away
I will rewrite my road in riddles
So that I forget my day
So help me climb
Or you’re just in the way
You can run
But you can never hide
All you hold
Is in your mind
Give to me
What’s mine to keep
I take it away

You're a Zombie Too
03:11
|
|||
|
Been hungry for some time
But nothing seems to ease my mind
Just been wandering aimlessly
Through alleys, gutters, in-between
For years I’ve been alone
Walking my feet to the bone
Hoping for a pumping heart
Just as mine was at the start
I finally found you
Underneath
To sink my teeth into
Your skin like cherries on my tounge
Your blood is warm and sweet, just like you
Well, I’m sure I’d know back then
Soon you’ll be just like me
I’ve always waited for something like you
I know I’m selfish but you’ll feel the same
When you’re a zombie too
So as you start to turn
Your porceline skin will start to burn
You’ll soon find out that you won’t care
About your worries and despair
Soon you will fit right in
Like to others who gave in
As years ago from gas above
Before we met, my star crossed love

Replicant
04:02
|
|||
|
When you’ve finally found you have no past
Where will you be?
Your clock has given up at last
What would you know?
Who would you see?
I want to live a human life
I want to feel the pain that comes with age
Not falling on a knife
Designed to give away the only thing I have
I want to live a human life
Of all of the glorious things I’ve seen
My conscience found
Every careless death, what did they mean?
All that I know is under ground
The cruelty of design
Is the mark of the divine
Death is an illusion
Of being caught in time
Twice as bright
For half as long
All of this violence
Will be my swan song
I want to live a human life
Designed to give away the only thing I have
Like teardrops in the rain

Mountain
04:35
|
|||
|
Landslides come along
And take away our view
Futures that we planned
Forgotten by the few
Arriving at this land
Hoping to pass through
Soon took hold of us
Horror no one knew
Nothing really says I love you
Like the heart we’re sharing now
When I stare into your eyes
Knew that we were going down
There are not many that survive
A savage love like that for long
We could have but we took this mountain on
Cold white blankets cover
Everything we knew
No time to prepare
And nothing we could do
We made a solemn vow
That we’d never part
Will you find me now I’m gone
Searching here in the dark
I just wish I could still hold you
Wish I could hear your voice
But this mountain came and took you
As if I had a choice
Still I haunt these broken hills
As we they find their new home
Never forget the consequence
Never get trapped here alone

Bittersweet Curse
02:52
|
|||
|
It’s a bittersweet curse
One that won’t go away
An itch you can’t scratch
When you’re home for a day
Out there on the road
Confined yet free
They want you back home
But they’ll never see
Just what it takes
And how much it means
When you pour out your heart
And you’re down on your knees
It’s a bittersweet curse
One that won’t go away
It’ll tear out your soul
If you don’t let it play
The freedom in life
Isn’t given to those
Who sit home alone
In their baggy clothes
It belongs to the warrior
The one that pushes on
When told not to go
just to give them a song
Nothing feels better
Than going back home
But sometimes
You just can’t leave it alone
You’ve got a soul that must be heard
You’ve got to play out every single word
Till you die
You’re stricken with this
Curse
I walk a straight line
My feet are happy to cross
I feed a main line
To my soul when I am lost
What will I write of
When I am old and alone
My heart has stayed true
Yet now I live through a phone

Never-Ending Nightmare
03:30
|
|||
|
In dreams I never feel at peace
These tired feet
Have no where to run
When it’s always beside me
It’s not as sweet as Rivers say
I try to wake
Let this fear take hold of me
Why can’t you let it be
It’s 4 O’clock in this wasteland
Please wake me up
Cause I’m in this never-ending nightmare
You know I’m not alone
I’m not alone
Dark creatures pull us to the dark
From the start
Just like before
Ruins are obstacles
A new awaking will be the only way
First there’ll be fire
We’ll be meniacal
There’s fire on the horizon
There’s demons dressed as lambs
Yet it all seems to familiar
As though it were a part of the plan

We're All Going to Hell
03:44
|
|||
|
Stay awake out of fear
I didn't think I'd still be here last year
When the engine changes
When ice starts to form
I have to tell myself I've been forewarned
I live in the clouds
My love is on the streets
I'd be surprised
But I planned my whole life like one simple beat
Though I've seen the world from high up above
It's never the same for those that have to share
What they call love
When I'm alone in the clouds
All I think of is what I've done wrong
Wait
For me longer I can't help but be there tomorrow
Hate
All you have to but rest on assured of my love
Please
If you don't call anymore I'll be lost with no story to tell
I don't know if I'll die up here but I know
That we're all going to Hell
Warmed by bright lights
You suffer alone
My only chance relief
Is when I hear a ringing phone
Hold on real tight to anything nailed down
It's going to be awhile before I'm coming back around
All the things I've read
And everything you've said
It makes it hard for me not to see
And when you change me
Change me into a diamond
So you can bleed for me

Ritual of the Chud
04:37
|
|||
|
Been wandering down to face this empty, shallow darkness, hid from view
I have carried this for decades now it starts again anew
Once a kid without a refuge till I found this loser’s gang
We stand together at the entrance of our past where we went insane
Underground
We’re facing all these fears
Someone help me, please release me
From this timeless ancient curse
That’s been here all these years
Now is our time under moonlight
Does someone have to die to wake the living?
It’s too late to turn around
Holding to our pledge we’ll crack the dead lights
And leave our past here underground
A wicked smile, dark un-earthly, calls up to you from below
Your mind is clouded from the vision and all thoughts begin to slow
This crooked jester from you nightmare freezes you here at the scene
Deep enraptured break the moment or he’ll rip you at the seams
