01. Calm Snow - Lyrics:

Don't you tell me all them lies we both know
Don't you tell me how time flies, it's so slow
All the love in the world we both show
But when it comes to something real we both choke

So tell me, how does it feel to know
That your lies, your lies won't save you now?
To know, your lies, your lies, your lies won't save you now

We're watching things unravel slowly
You're just tryin' to get away from yourself
It's obvious you're speakin' in languages I can't read
You just hide and confide in someone else, oh

Don't you tell me all them lies we both know
Don't you tell me how time flies, it's so slow
All the love in the world we both know
But when it comes to something real we both choke

So tell me, how does it feel to know
That your lies, your lies won't save you now?
To know that your lies, your lies, your lies won't save you now

We're watching things unravel slowly
You're just tryin' to get away from yourself
It's obvious you're speakin' in languages I can't read
You just hide and confide in someone else, oh

Your lies, your lies, your lies, your lies

02. Break - Lyrics:

We all lose ourselves along the way
Sometimes we lose ourselves along the way

Did your heart let someone in now?
Always waking in your sleep
Your mind's so sick of always asking how
I always end up cutting deep

I'm standing out here in the rain
The whole damn world has gone insane
There's only so much my mind can take
Your heart's about to break

Rest now, my muse
The worry is only temporary
Hold all of you for me

Did your heart let someone in now?
Always waking in your sleep
Your mind's so sick of always asking how
I always end up cutting deep

We all lose ourselves along the way

I'm standing out here in the rain
The whole damn world has gone insane
There's only so much my mind can take
Your heart's about to break

Leave me
Leave me
There's only so much my mind can take
Your heart's about to break

Our hearts were made to start the healing
Bring back the pain, I wanna feel it
Our hearts were made to start the healing
Bring back the pain, I wanna feel it

Our hearts were made to start the healing
Bring back the pain, I wanna feel it

03. White Lies - Lyrics:

You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there

You said you'd be there till the bitter end
Your voice feels bitter now
The world I'm fightin' for just plays pretend
I'm surrendering

I'm surrendering
I'm surrendering

Way too long, way too long
Way too long, way too long

I'm not gonna turn my head
You play the part, I'm holdin' out my hands
Out of sight, out of mind, out of sight

I feel you in the air
You haunt me everywhere

You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there

White lies, you do this every time
We fall in familiar places, drift apart and don't know why
Breaths we take, like breaths we take, you're gone
Breaths we take, like breaths we take, you're gone
You play the part, I'm holdin' out my hands

Way too long, way too long
Way too long, way too long

You said you'd be there till the bitter end
Your voice is bitter now
The world I'm fightin' for just plays pretend
I'm surrendering

White lies, you do this every time
We fall in familiar places, drift apart and don't know why
Breaths we take, like breaths we take, you're gone
Breaths we take, like breaths we take, you're gone
You are the reason for the life I live

You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there
You said you'd be there, b-b-be there, be there

04. Everyone's Safe In The Treehouse - Lyrics:

I'm just a man with a vision
Who's growin' more blind everyday
Eyes of a child now in ruins
Scared of everything he became

My voice wasn't loud enough for you to listen
Your words weren't strong enough for me to stay, hey

'Cause I feel your love has always been empty
Just a way to sink your teeth into me
But the truth is we built our house in a tree
We built the roads we walk upon

I feel you have the worst intentions
Controlling everyone but me
My voice wasn't loud enough
Your words weren't strong enough

'Cause I feel your love has always been empty
Just a way to sink your teeth into me
But the truth is we built our house in a tree
We built the roads we walk upon

Are you alive or are you just living?
Are you alive or are you just living?

You don't get it, you'll never get it
Do you have a life or are you just living?
You don't get it, you'll never get it
Do you have a life or are you just living?

I feel your love has always been empty
Just a way to sink your teeth into me

'Cause I feel your love has always been empty (Been empty)
Just a way to sink your teeth into me
But the truth is we built our house in a tree
We built the roads we walk upon
We built the roads we walk upon

05. Running With Scissors - Lyrics:

The truth cannot be anymore clear
And I'm not askin' you to hold on
It's everything that you ever feared
I know you're tryin' so hard to move on

It kinda feels like someone
Replaced the heart that once was yours
I'm tryin' hard to be someone
But falling short of the person I wanna be

I wanna be

So I'll pretend I'm letting go
While you're dancin' in the past without colors
You'll be the one
Runnin' away in my nightmares

I'm letting go
You said you'd never ever look back
You'll be the one
Runnin' away in my nightmares

Tryin' hard to be someone
But falling short of the person I wanna be
Tryin' hard to be someone
But falling short of the person I want to be

I want to be

Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'

The truth cannot be anymore clear
And I'm not askin' you to hold on
It's everything that you ever feared

So I'll pretend I'm letting go
While you're dancin' in the past without colors
You'll be the one
Runnin' away in my nightmares

I'm letting go
You said you'd never ever look back
You'll be the one

I wanna be, oh
I wanna be, oh

(I wanna be) It kinda feels like someone
Replaced the heart that once was yours
(I wanna be) I'm tryin' hard to be someone

So I'll pretend I'm letting go
While you're dancin' in the past without colors
You'll be the one
Runnin' away in my nightmares

I'm letting go
You said you'd never ever look back
(Runnin' away in my nightmares)
You'll be the one
Runnin' away in my nightmares

Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'
Runnin', runnin', runnin'

06. Mobbin' Out - Lyrics:

It's almost light, I'm layin' my head down
I try to smile but I'm weighin' myself down
I'm losin' faith everyday that I'm runnin' with you
I'm losin' faith everyday

I will not go, oh
I'll make it through the night
I will not go, oh
I'll shine my brighter lights

I will not go, oh (I will not go, oh)
I'll make it through the night (I'll make it through the night)
I will not go, oh (I will not go, oh)
I'll shine my brighter lights (I'll shine my brighter lights)

I will not go, oh
I'll shine my brighter lights

If I walk with you: a life of second glances
I gave you hope; you buried your chances
Aren't you the one who said you bled for this?
No, you're the one who left in the first place

How can you just stand there with a straight face
Tellin' me you did the best that you could?
I'm givin' up on you but I'm not givin' up on me
Your horse is higher than a skyscraper
Your shadow is starting to fade
Givin' up on you but I'm not givin' up on me

I see the light, I think I'm gonna make it out
I'll miss the times we didn't even have a doubt
The things you said disappear when it's convenient for you
It's time for you to do the same

I will not go, oh
I'll make it through the night
I will not go, oh
I'll shine my brighter lights

I watched words fall out of your face
Always so numb to the impact you made
Tried so hard to make you see
That you've become invisible to me

(I will not go, oh)
(I'll make it through the night)
(I will not go, oh) I'll shine my brighter lights
(I'll shine my brighter lights) I'll make it through

(I will not go, oh) I will not go
(I'll make it through the night) I'll make it through the night
(I will not go, oh)
I'll shine my brighter lights

How can you just stand there with a straight face
Tellin' me you did the best that you could?
I'm givin' up on you but I'm not givin' up on me
Your horse is higher than a skyscraper
Your shadow is starting to fade
Givin' up on you but I'm not givin' up on me

Aren't you the one who said you bled for this?
No, you're the one who left in the first place

07. Walking On Gravestones - Lyrics:

Choose me
Choose me
Choose me
Choose me

I doubt I was the only one
Heart broken on my back with the light on
I doubt I was the only one
Heart broken on my back with the light on

When the wind blows, just know time is running
Just know I know, time
When the wind blows, just know time is running
Just know I know, time

Choose me
Choose me

When the wind blows, just know
When the wind blows, just know

I doubt I was the only one
Heart broken on my back with the light on
(Choose me) I doubt I was the only one
Heart broken on my back with the light on

08. Light In The Cave - Lyrics:

It's easy to find the answer
It's always been there, I'm always runnin'
To the back of my mind I gather
Thoughts and shades I haven't shown yet

Oh, how the tables turn
I had my mind made up like a story
That you knew the ending of
I always knew that you were pretending

Yeah, I always knew that you were pretending

Just hold on me
And I'll wipe away the marks they drawn on you
Here it's you and me 'cause I

I'm holding on by the tips of my fingers
I'm not afraid of the fall
The only thought that the silence triggers
Is the time I went wrong

Oh, I know I made a fool of us all
Oh, I'm sorry, so sorry I'm not sorry at all

It's always runnin', always runnin'
It's easy to find the answer
It's always been there
It's always been there

Oh, how the tables turn
I had my mind made up like a story
That you knew the ending of
Yeah, I always knew that you were pretending

I'm holding on by the tips of my fingers
I'm not afraid of the fall
The only thought that the silence triggers
Is the time I went wrong

Oh, I know I made a fool of us all
Oh, I'm sorry, so sorry I'm not sorry at all

It's easy to find the answers
It's always been there, I'm always runnin'
To the back of my mind I gather
Thoughts and shades I haven't shown yet

09. All In - Lyrics:

Hands on my face 'cause I'm all in
Double zeros, I'm all in
I'm just a kid come from nothing
I see your family got something
Dragging your feet like it's nothing
All 'cross the board, yeah, I'm all in
All 'cross the states, yeah, you fallin'
We takin' risks, yeah, we all in

We disappeared from all the lights
There was nothing left so we went right
Remember the days we were callin'
No word when we needed you all in
Mobbin' the house that we all in
We takin' risks, yeah, we all in

You say the waters under bridges
But you know the bridge is burning
The clock is tickin' by the second
I know that time is turnin'
I see the people you fuck with
They holdin' a knife to your back
Hands in the air 'cause they all in
We takin' risks, yeah, we all in

Mobbin' the house that we all in
We takin' risks, yeah, we all in

I can tell that everybody in this room is really scared
No one 'round me giving feelings like they really care
I know my people at home, yeah, they be really there
I know my people at home

Breathin' in
I'm having trouble tryna bite my tongue again
Breathin' in
Don't think that I can just bite my tongue again

Who are you at heart?
Who are you at all?
We'll see

You say the waters under bridges
But you know the bridge is burnin'
The clock is tickin' by the second
I know that time is turning
I know my people at home, yeah, they be really there
Mobbin' the house that we all in
We takin' risks, yeah, we all in

We takin' risks, yeah, we all in

You say the waters under bridges
But you know the bridge is burnin'
The clock is tickin' by the second
I know that time is turning
I see the people you fuck with
They holdin' a knife to your back

Breathin' in
I'm having trouble tryna bite my tongue again
Breathin' in
Don't think that I can just bite my tongue

Who are you at heart?
Who are you at all?
We'll see

Hands on my face 'cause I'm all in
Double zeros, I'm all in
All 'cross the board, yeah, we all in
We takin' risks, man, we all in

10. Two Hearted - Lyrics:

The wreck is all we have to know that this has to end
If there's a chance, the lights may follow you home
You know where to find me

You can call it what you want
You can call it moving on
You know it's for the better
Oh, I know it's for the better

You can call it what you want
You can call it moving on
You know it's for the better
Oh, I know it's for the better

The past is all we had
When I think about the way we used to be
You seem to think you're invincible
I've waited for change but now I'm convinced
That this has to end

You can call it what you want
You can call it moving on
You know it's for the better
Oh, I know it's for the better

You can call it what you want
You can call it moving on
You know it's for the better
Oh, I know it's for the better

When your leaves fell off I followed you
Followed you
Now I see that I can't follow you
Follow you

If there's a chance
The light may follow you home
You know where to find me

You can call it what you want
You can call it moving on
You know it's for the better
Oh, I know it's for the better

You can call it what you want
You can call it moving on
You know it's for the better
Oh, I know it's for the better

You can call it what you want
You can call it moving on
You know it's for the better
Oh, I know it's for the better

11. Portals - Lyrics:

Say you don't believe
It's human nature to me
The moment a bullet leaves
A fool's future is weaved

I'm just tryin' to breathe fire
The news took the wind right out of me
There's no relief in the silent
Ways we grieve

One reason for the pain you caused
Two words to mend the damage done
Three left in the chamber of your gun
Four seconds to run

You say you don't believe
It's human nature to me
The moment a bullet leaves
A fool's future is weaved

I can feel me centered and the world comes with it
I can feel centered and the world comes with it

I just want the world to know it's real
I just want the world to know it's real

It's the colour they see; fire
Never knowing the face behind the name
It's so easy stayin' quiet
But red's the colour we bleed

One reason for the pain you caused
Two words to mend the damage done
Three left in the chamber of your gun
Four seconds to run

Say you don't believe
It's human nature to me
The moment a bullet leaves
A fool's future is weaved

You say you don't believe
It's human nature to me
The moment a bullet leaves
A fool's future is weaved

I can feel me centered and the world comes with it
I can feel centered and the world comes with it

(Shed a tear)
(Remind yourself the world is real)
(Pinch yourself, shed a tear)
(Remind yourself the world is real)
That the world is real
That the world is real, whoa

It's so easy stayin' quiet
But red's the colour we bleed

(Pinch yourself, shed a tear)
(Remind yourself the world is real)
(Pinch yourself, shed a tear)
(Remind yourself the world is real)

I just want the world to know it's real, whoa
I just want the world to know it's real

So say you don't believe

You say you don't believe
It's human nature to me
The moment a bullet leaves
A fool's future is weaved

I can feel me centered and the world comes with it
I can feel centered and the world comes with it

12. Yellow King - Lyrics:

I've had this dream before
It's just the ghost of the once was
A fool just like before
The same exact sad outcome

I've meant my enemy
And it seems we tried to work it out
You're just the ghost of the once was

But the stars aren't far enough for you to grab them
Right out of the sky, there ain't no doubt about it
You ain't no child tryin' to drive a fast car, no
You ain't no friend of mine

Nobody seems to fear the truth more than me
It seems I have a darkness
But I can leave it all behind if you let me
Only if you let me, only if you let me

So lay it on me, so lay it on me
It seems you're so scared of takin' chances I'm not
So lay it on me, so lay it on
I feel the rain

Reoccurring dreams pulling out my teeth
In a crowded white room
I try to run or yell, "This is my hell"
My legs won't move

I've had this dream before
It's just the ghost of the once was
A fool just like before
The same exact sad outcome

I've had this dream before
You're just the ghost of the once was

But the stars aren't far enough for you to grab them
Right out of the sky, there ain't no doubt about it
You ain't no child tryin' to drive a fast car, no
You ain't no friend of mine

Nobody seems to fear the truth more than me
It seems I have a darkness
But I can leave it all behind if you let me
Only if you let me, only if you let me

All this time, I've been waitin' to let you go
All this time, I've been waitin' to let you go
All this time, I've been waitin' to let you go
All this time, I've been waitin' to let you go

So lay it on me, so lay it on me
It seems you're so scared of takin' chances I'm not
So lay it on me, so lay it on
I feel the rain

It doesn't really matter
What you've got to say

03. Holiday In The Sun - Lyrics:

Put into camps
And left to rot and die
Put into camps
No real reason why

I don't want a holiday
I don't want a holiday
I don't want a holiday
In the sun

A camp full of horror
Tales to unfold
The rapping of women
The young and the old

I don't want a holiday
I don't want a holiday
I don't want a holiday
In the sun

I don't want a holiday in the sun
I don't want a holiday in the sun
I don't want a holiday in the sun

Put into camps
And left to rot and die
Put into camps
No real reason why

I don't want a holiday
I don't want a holiday
I don't want a holiday
In the sun

Vote for me is what they say
But what have you done for me
They'll tell you fucking anything
A vote is what they want from me

You're right you're right there is no point
So what's the point
We argue scream and start
To shout so what's the point

You're right again you're right again there is no point
What's the fucking what's the point

You moan when I go out with my mates
What's the point
You call me up again and again
What's the point

You're right again you're right again there is no point
What's the fucking what's the point

You moan, you shout
You scream again
What's the point
Your face is tripping you
It's turning blue
What's the point

You're right again you're right again there is no point
What's the fucking what's the point
What is the point
What's the fucking point

07. Never Sell Out - Lyrics:

Been going on for fucking years now
And punks were going to stay
What you see is how it is
We'll never sell out no way

We'll never sell out is what I say
We'll never sell out no way

I don't give a fuck about what you say
I do things my own way
Because that's the way I've always been
And the way it's gonna stay

We'll never sell out is what I say
We'll never sell out no way

All those cunts that slagged us off
Are just a bunch of fucking twats
From Big John to Conflict too
Disappeared up their own arse

We'll never sell out is what I say
We'll never sell out no way

Why are you doing this
Doing this to me

You said I made you happy and I loved you
You hurt me badly so fuck you
Why you doing this to me
I fucking loved you can't you fucking see

Why are you doing this
Why are you doing this
Why are you doing this
Doing this to me

Why are you doing this to me
I'd only loved you can't you fucking see
So why are you doing this to me
I'd only loved you can't you fucking see

Why, why are you doing this
Why, why are you doing this
Why, why are you doing this
Doing this to me

I loved you and you loved me
But now it's over can't you fucking see
Why you doing this to me
I fucking loved you can't you fucking see

Why are you doing this
Why are you doing this
Why are you doing this
Doing this to me

11. Chaos Is My Life - Lyrics:

No future no future
No future at all
No money no job
You've got fuck all

Chaos is my life
Chaos is my life
Chaos is my life

Another fucking restart
Is waiting for you
The future is fucked
More chaos for you

Chaos is my life
Chaos is my life
Chaos is my life

Don't let the bastards
Get to you
The future is chaos
And chaos is you

Chaos is my life
Chaos is my life
Chaos is my life

Chaos is my life
Chaos is my life
Chaos is my life
Chaos is my life

12. Violent Society - Lyrics:

Left, right, left, right, go get abused
The evidence of violence is always news

Violent Society
Violence is my life
Violent Society
Violence is my life

The violence is real, the violence goes on
The killer vendetta, what went wrong

Violent Society
Violence is my life
Violent Society
Violence is my life

Destruction begins every fucking day
Destruction I give a violent way

Violent Society
Violence is my life
Violent Society
Violence is my life

Left, right, left, right, go get abused
The evidence of violence is always news

13. Was It Me - Lyrics:

I've known you now
For the last twenty year or more
We fought for fun
We know the fucking score
I would have done
Anything at all for you
You're my best friend
Why can't you see

You never told me
What we fell out about
Was it me
Was it me

I can't believe
All the things you wrote to me
I can't take in
The things you said to me
I thought you would
Have done anything for me
We were best friends
Why can't you see

You never told me
What we fell out about
Was it me
Was it me

I've known you now
For the last twenty year or more
We seen it all
You know the fucking score
I would have done anything at all for you
You're my best friend
Honestly

01. Twisted Coil - Lyrics:

Slide down into the silence
Numb the day away
Move closer to a memory
Feel it slip away

Your sun is smiling on my ashes
On this perfect day
(Shut down the guilt machine and wash your conscience clean of yesterday)

Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun
Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one
We come undone

Breathe deeply of your essence
Stir the scars beneath
Sing sweet a song so deathless
You belong to me
Life shivers in the distance
Wish it all away

Your sun is smiling on my ashes
On this perfect day
(Shut down the guilt machine and wash your conscience clean of yesterday)

Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun
Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one
We come undone

Accusations run astray
Inside the guilt machine
Turning tension's twisted coil
Till nothing's left of me
Words unspoken feed the lie
Smile and say you're doing fine today

Conversation makes no sense
All logic stripped away
Situation's out of hand
In amber disarray
Words unspoken feed the lie
Another pill... you're doing fine today

Did you dream distant skies
And thirst to roam and wander?
Did you die silently inside?
Did you think you'd find the answer
Behind the light?
Did you think you'd find a way
To disconnect your favourite pain?

Disengage and justify
To wash away the pain
Medicate and victimize
To purge you pure again
Words unspoken feed the lie
Drink it down... you're doing fine today

Something snaps at 4.05
One Friday afternoon
Turning tension's twisted coil
Till nothing's left of you
Words unspoken seal the lie
One small step... you'll soon be fine today

Did you dream distant skies
And thirst to roam and wander?
Did you die silently inside?
Did you think you'd find the answer
Behind the light?
Did you think you'd find a way
To disconnect your favourite pain?

Did you dream distant skies
And thirst to roam and wander?
Did you die silently inside?
Did you think you'd find the answer
Behind the light?
Did you think you'd find a way
To disconnect your favourite pain?

Life shivers in the distance
Wish it all away
Your sun is smiling on my ashes
On this perfect day
(Shut down the guilt machine and wash your conscience clean of yesterday)

Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun
Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one

Drown the ocean
Drain the sky
Wash the color from the sun
Still the thunder
Derail the Earth
Burn the stars out one by one

02. Leland Street - Lyrics:

This is not how you planned it
Not the life you had in mind
Winding days have spiraled into years
And the past is long resigned

Serenade the shade and shadow
Cry a tune for days gone by
Scream a song for all you lost along the way
And the one you left behind

After all the words unspoken
After all the deeds undone
In the dark, where certainties are few
And your song is still unsung

Celebrate the hour of madness
Ride the wave that turns the tide
Dream a song for all you lost along the way
And the one you'll never find

Is it too late for a new day?
Is it too late to cross the line?
Is it too late for a new way
Shine down the light?

Shine down the light
The future will unfold
(Table turning face the burn of reality)
Ride out your chance
The story still untold
(Twisting tension face the burn of mortality)
This is your life
The darkest place you'll go
(Table turning face the burn of eternity)
This is your chance
The choice is yours alone
(Sail away to points unknown)

All you have lived
All you have won
All you have learned
All you have loved
All yours to face
All yours to show
All yours to feel
All yours to know

Celebrate the hour of madness
Ride the wave that turns the tide
Dream a song for all you lost along the way
And the one you'll never find

Is it too late for a new day?
Is it too late to cross the line?
Is it too late for a new way
Shine down the light?

03. Green And Cream - Lyrics:

Fade out on a theme
Fade out and away
Break down to extreme
Break down in decay

Fade out in the dust of my debris
Fade out and away
Break down in the absence of extremes
Break down in decay

Green and cream, selective and pure
Shape my sin to your will
Crystalline, a chemical cure
Dance me down to the kill

Dream now of the frost
Dream now of the grave
Bleed out for the lost
Bleed out for the saved

Dream now of the fiction of the frost
Dream now of the grave
Bleed out for redemption of the lost
Bleed out for the saved

Green and cream, selective and pure
Shape my sin to your will
Crystalline, a chemical cure
Dance me down to the kill

I consume and control
Break your mind on my wheel
I can swallow your soul
Strip away all you feel
I can feed your disease
Close you down from within
I can be all you need
Once I'm under your skin again

No solution for the undefined
No solution inside
Revolution psychoanalyzed
Revolution denied

I'm erratic and bold
Problematic and mean
Enigmatic and cold
Charismatic and clean
I can feed your disease
Close you down from within
I can be all you need
Once I'm under your skin again

No solution for the undefined
No solution inside
Revolution psychoanalyzed
Revolution denied

Pull me out of the dark
Into your stars
Into your sky
Pull me out of the dark
Into your arms
Into your light

Pull me out of the dark
Into your stars
Into your sky
Pull me out of the dark
Into your arms
Into your light

Fade out in the dust of my debris
Fade out and away
Break down in the absence of extremes
Break down in decay

Green and cream, selective and pure
Shape my sin to your will
Crystalline, a chemical cure
Dance me down to the kill

Pull me out of the dark
Into your stars
Into your sky
Pull me out of the dark
Into your arms
Into your light

04. Season Of Denial - Lyrics:

One voice inside
(I know who you are)
One feeling you hide
(This is the season of denial)
You're in control
(Don't ask me how I am)
Your cracks start to show
(There's someone laughing from afar)

Turn around and face the darker side of you
(The one you hide)
Turn around the face the damage that you do
(In the season of denial)

Too cold to feel
(I know what you've done)
In motion surreal
(This is the season of the hollow)
Who are you now?
(I am for you to name)
You're on your way down
(You're somewhere very close to hell)

Turn around and face the darker side of you
(The one you hide)
Turn around the face the damage that you do
(In the season of denial)

I will remember you
Keep the pain alive
A vision of black and blue
Fading into white

I will remember you
Keep the pain alive
A vision of black and blue
Fading into white

A weight of years... before the storm begins
Saturate the rain-dark sky
Wake in fear and face the dream that might have been
The dream you still deny

You don't remember when, you don't remember where
A faded stranger in a photograph
Half-seen faces whisper shapeless unaware
Silent echoes of what's come to pass

You know you can't return, you know you can't relive
As you wasted wreckage falls apart
Familiar places where you know must have been
In your heart of darkest hearts

I will remember you
Keep the pain alive
A vision of black and blue
Fading into white

I will remember you
Keep the pain alive
A vision of black and blue

One voice inside
One feeling you hide
Turn around and face the darker side of you
(The one you hide)
Turn around the face the damage that you do
Turn around the face the damage that you do
Turn around the face the damage that you do

05. Over - Lyrics:

You were saying something deep
I was feeling incomplete
You were shaking with conviction
I was making up my mind

Blacken the sky
It's over
Killed by contradiction
Fixation is all that's left behind

Blacken the sky
It's over
Killed by contradiction
Fixation is all that's left behind

Blacken the sky
It's over
Killed by contradiction
Fixation is all that's left behind

Kill it to life
It's over
Dead by definition
Frustration is all that's left behind
It's over

You were waiting for a sign
I was planning my next line
You were bent on self-destruction
I was there to load the gun

Blacken the sky
It's over
Killed by contradiction
Fixation is all that's left behind

Kill it to life
It's over
Dead by definition
Frustration is all that's left behind
It's over

It was all so beautiful
It was all habitual
It was all so beautiful
It was all a ritual

You were saying something deep
I was feeling incomplete
You were shaking your addiction
I was there to find the vein

Blacken the sky
It's over
Killed by contradiction
Fixation is all that's left behind

Kill it to life
It's over
Dead by definition
Frustration is all that's left behind

It was all so beautiful
It was all habitual
It was all so beautiful
It was all a ritual

Blacken the sky
Fixation is all that's left behind
It's over
It's over
Frustration is all that's left behind

06. Perfection? - Lyrics:

You look different in this light
Thoughtful in the morning air
Shifting in the golden glow of the array
Still I'd know you anywhere

You look distant in this light
Troubled in the morning air
Waiting for a chance to live what you've become
I'd see trough you anywere

And all the things you are
And all you've lost
Is perfection what you really want?
And all the skies we shared
The dreams we walked
I'll be waiting here alone
When the darkness calls you home

You look tragic in this light
Shattered in the morning air
It feel apart the day they learned your name
Still I'd follow anywhere

You look dangerous in this light
Desperate in the morning air
Waiting for the chance to live what you've become
I'd see through you anywhere

And all the things you are
And all you've lost
Is perfection what you really want?
And all the skies we shared
The dreams we walked
I'll be waiting here alone
When the darkness calls you home

I was lost
In the perfect world they promised me
I was scarred
When you tore the mask away
I was amazed
At the lies we refused to see
I was afraid
Of the emptiness the truth would leave behind

You look distant in this light
Troubled in the morning air
Waiting for a chance to live what you've become
I'd see trough you anywere

And all the things you are
And all you've lost
Is perfection what you really want?
And all the skies we shared
The dreams we walked
I'll be waiting here alone
When the darkness calls you home
When it calls you home

What's one more year?
A trip around the sun?
Rise up and leave here
The journey's done
What's one more year?
A circle in the sky?
The future's in motion
You're free to fly

Can we heal the past?
Do we dare to stand alone?
Can we take it back?
Make a new life on our own
Can we heal the past?
Do we dare to stand our ground?
Can we take it back?
Can we turn it all around?

What's one more year?
A trip around the sun?
Rise up and leave here
The journey's done
What's one more year?
A circle in the sky?
The future's in motion
You're free to fly

Can we heal the past?
Do we dare to stand alone?
Can we take it back?
Make a new life on our own
Can we heal the past?
Do we dare to stand our ground?
Can we take it back?
Can we turn it all around?

Can we heal the past?
Do we dare to stand alone?
Can we take it back?
Make a new life on our own
Can we heal the past?
Do we dare to stand our ground?
Can we take it back?
Can we turn it all around?
