Hate and Heartbreak 03:50
lyrics
buy track
I know that the camera never lies But I see the fiction in your eyes Motivated by self-preservation Being further tangled by this snare of your creation Never thought you to pretend Calculated, standing fast and Never backing down Playing games of hate and heartbreak Thanks for the show, how could I know how far you’d go? Could it be the tyrant you adore Or the zealot you claim to abhor Maybe just this season’s paramour Or an admirer from days or years before Never thought you to deceive Calculated, standing fast and Never backing down Playing games of hate and heartbreak Thanks for the show, how could I know how far you’d go? Now that all the signs have been made clear Tell me what you think I want to hear Or if you can build up any nerve Maybe you could recognize the fate that you deserve Never thought you to betray Calculated, standing fast and Never backing down Playing games of hate and heartbreak Thanks for the show, how could I know how far you’d go?

Something Like a Paradise 04:35
lyrics

Come here, old friend And say what was unsaid Forget the now Think of who I was then And let me be Who I never could be Before we lose ourselves Beneath the bridges crumbling under Years gone by Take my hand and take a leap to Say goodbye To the lives we’re ready to let die Could we go back in time And take a different path together And end up in a place That we could call our own forever And circumvent the time we spent apart Just trying to get by I see a vision through the haze Of something like a paradise Come here, old friend And leave behind the ghosts That pull you down Trapping you in Days like today We would never wonder What all the choices made And roads not taken buried us in We could stay Joyous in this hopeless dreamland Counting time Till the rising sun returns and dreamers die Could we go back in time And take a different path together And end up in a place That we could call our own forever And circumvent the time we spent apart Just trying to get by I see a vision through the haze Of something like a paradise Could we go back in time And take a different path together And end up in a place That we could call our own forever And circumvent the time we spent apart Just trying to get by I see a vision through the haze Of something like a paradise

Drowning in Air 04:40
lyrics

There was a time when you had to find a reason To see beyond the cell of your own making How far you have come and how far you have to go And how far you’ve fallen at your mind and body breaking Are you afraid to die or afraid to live? After all your trials, what do you have to give? There was a time when the nightmares came in waves And you were trapped ashore being shredded bare Surviving only half a hostage whole So you drown not in water but in air Are you afraid to die or afraid to live? After all your trials, what do you have to give? Are you afraid to die or afraid to live? After all your trials, what do you have to give? Will you be strong, and prove your devils wrong?

Steal Your Share 04:02
lyrics
buy track
I feel the rapture coming down I feel the wave of sweet release Cause after this there’s one less song I’ll ever have to sing And I’ve lost patience with this porous peace I've been trying to justify Lingering round so long But I knew it all along Go Steal your share from the ones that can’t defend themselves Go Don’t you know that they will never care about you Go All these years that I was tied to your delusions Go With the company I’ve kept I’d rather be alone I got a taste for what’s unknown I got nothing left to mourn I have seen the grand design and I’ll make it my own So don’t wait up cause I’m already gone I will say to you I hope you fix your broken life I never will return Go Steal your share from the ones that can’t defend themselves Go Don’t you know that they will never care about you Go All these years that I was tied to your delusions Go With the company I’ve kept I’d rather be alone

Confined 03:18
lyrics

Why do I keep on trying to Make something from all your creations There’s nowhere to go Break myself just to know what you know Do you understand what I need from you Feels like drowning in your machinations Is it coming through Failing to find the words for you You bring this into me Do you feel special too Is it out of jealousy That don’t look good on you I’m confined by your pride Would you lend me just one chance to breathe in It’s crippling me Trying to see the way that you see Though I seek to find where this fits inside What’s been clarified and what’s undetermined I’m losing the line I’ll smile along like everything’s fine You bring this into me Do you feel special too Is it out of jealousy That don’t look good on you I’ll make it work alright Until you see the light You bring this into me Do you feel special too Is it out of jealousy That don’t look good on you You bring this into me Do you feel special too Is it out of jealousy That don’t look good on you

Gone 04:08
lyrics

Left to rot under piles of ashes Blackened wilting leaves Come undone in the heat surrounding Decimation’s eve Mountains shake Glaciers break All we’ve laid Left unmade Gone All life is gone Everything is gone All of us gone Everyone is gone Left to burn in a barren wasteland Bones lay bleached and rent Serving just as broken relics Of a grave descent Rivers dry Creatures die All we’ve prayed Unallayed Gone All life is gone Everything is gone All of us gone Everyone is Gone All life is gone Everything is gone All of us gone Everyone is gone All life is gone Everything is gone All of us gone

Infestation 03:39
lyrics
buy track
If you’d arrived again at any other time I wouldn’t need to push those thoughts from my mind To stop from dwelling on what could have been And dig your burning claws out from under my skin It’s much too late To fantasize On useless things And I collapse A little more When out the siren sings I wish that I could say Something outside the cliche but Everything I generate Lets you further choose my fate A toll so deafening of an innocent bell It knocks me further into that secret hell And my capitulation unto your schemes Infests my waking thoughts as much as my dreams It wrestles from me My control And throws me round And every time I see those words I feel like shutting down I wish that I could say Something outside the cliche but Everything I generate Lets you further choose my fate Fall through the clouds Crash to the ground Take everything And let it all decay I wish that I could say Something outside the cliche but Everything I generate Lets you further choose my fate

Venom 04:18
lyrics
buy track
Crippled by your perceptions Of what you think you know Fueled by your misconceptions Can’t let them go No room within yourself to See from another’s view No matter what you’re faced with Nothing gets through You refuse to see That you could be wrong So you disagree Even when you have no Leg upon which to stand No evidence to show You build your naive tableau Loath to accept that another could see Farther than the expert you claim to be Too pertinacious to accept the fact Of your delusions and so you react If you could only see the way your venom eats away At all the people that you try so hard to lead astray If you’d accept when you’d overstepped But I know that will never change Grasping at straws with fervor Improper for your plight Trying to rope observers Into your fight Spitting out lies and slander Dodging your conscience by Rejecting any candor You might apply Ignorance the shield That you hide behind Disdain unconcealed I wish just once that you’d Contemplate what you are See why you’re vilified Swallow your excessive pride Why have you never made sense of the way People seem so keen to push you away You can’t see reason or seem to perceive Why you’re so passed over and disbelieved If you could only see the way your venom eats away At all the people that you try so hard to lead astray If you’d accept when you’d overstepped But I know that will never change If you could only see the way your venom eats away At all the people that you try so hard to lead astray If you’d accept when you’d overstepped But I know that will never change

Better Than the Catch 04:54
lyrics
buy track
Underneath a waning moon a scream cuts through the night But none are there to answer to its cries The call fades into nothingness as the mind gives way Staring down oblivion’s shattered eyes So can you convince yourself to care Know these nightmares won’t go anywhere On a day, the second or the third, but who could say A way to reaffirm or to detach Your demons haunting every moment of each wretched hour They say the chase is better than the catch Paralyzed by vicious thoughts with absolute control A mountain built of molehills lined with stone Dizzied by the constancy of faithless saboteurs Wishing jaded to be let alone So can you convince yourself to care Know these nightmares won’t go anywhere Could there be another way Through the broken bones of history Would you stay if you could see A path to cut between this sophistry Say goodbye Say goodbye Say goodbye Say goodbye
