Shield your eyes from wrongdoings of sadistic men
But to our surprise we look back again
And we're
Watching, waiting
Wishing, wanting
Watching, waiting
Wishing, wanting
Have you even sealed the deal or are you martyred by
The self righteous mass appeal?
(Inside my mind)
Inside my false dimension I'm
Fine not knowing what is real
And I welcome you home
Turn a blind eye to the burden placed upon the others
But in time the sights will come back again
And we're
Fearing, loathing
Waiting for this
Fearing, loathing
Waiting for this
Thrown in the fire
Thus we choke
Fear the hand
Around your throat
Have you even sealed the deal or are you martyred by
The self righteous mass appeal?
(Inside my mind)
Inside my false dimension I'm
Fine not knowing what is real
And I welcome you home
All along we feel but we don't speak
And feel the tension rising
Self-fulfilled and propagated scene
I fear the tension rising
Thrown in the fire
Thus we choke
Fear the hand
Around your throat
Have you even sealed the deal or are you martyred by
The self righteous mass appeal?
(Inside my mind)
Inside my false dimension I'm
Fine not knowing what is real
And I welcome you home

Wake Again
03:35

Unstable ground;
Constantly the run around.
Straight line the sorrow
without a single sound.
Here I lay,
as things become clear as day.
This high's the closest
thing to love I'll chase.
Feel sorry for yourself,
'til it rips through your veins;
then feel nothing at all
for those whose lives you've stripped away.
Then you stumble back home,
fall asleep in your bed;
prepared to never wake again.
Racing mind,
uneasy feeling all the time.
Key in the lock,
solace to leave me blind.
Lie awake,
delusioned dreaming keeps me safe.
This denial's,
all that holds me sane.
Feel sorry for yourself,
'til you see that mistake
then you pass on the blame,
to the sick and deranged.
Then you look in the mirror,
immune to what you see.
Prepared to live
in a fallacy.
I'm sorry for things that
you think I did to you,
but you were absent when I
needed you the most.
I'm in too deep now,
I can't get out.
There's been too much to weigh me down,
I can't get out.
Feel nothing but a shell,
as the mars lights approach.
That mistake is dead and gone
there's a knife to your throat.
Then you look in the mirror
horrified by what you see.
Then you turn to the bottle
stumble back to your bed.
And you're prepared
to never wake again.

Boiling Point

Have you seen the seven?
I see it all so clear.
Why don't you hither closer, my dear?
I'll tell you of a book
Which ensures you won't be damned
Cause once the white woman calls on me
Time no longer holds a steady path
Madness clings to me
Like a stale disease
Looking through a black hole
My futures very clear
Neither god nor satan
I'm not one to be feared
Bringer of prestigious value
To my blood and flesh
Once our seven bodies tumble down
Time will cease to exist
And I'll have saved us
I'll have saved us
Madness clings to me like a stale disease
I've lost myself to a stranger
Deterrence from tragedy consistently fails me
Its been ignored for too long
I'll do what needs to be done
Do my eyes deceive?
I have never seen
a gruesome display so strewn out in a home of memories
Turn away from the scene
now knowing evil does exist
Its in the unexpected smiles on the street
Tip to the boiling point, is it the mind to blame?
Tip to the boiling point, is it the mind?
Madness clings to me like a stale disease
I've lost myself to a stranger
Deterrence from tragedy consistently fails me
Its been ignored for too long
I'll do what needs to be done
Tip to the boiling point, is it the mind to blame?
Tip to the boiling point, is it the mind to blame?
Tip to the boiling point, is it my mind to blame?
Tip to the boiling point, is it the mind?

Tic Tac

As if I needed more time
Watching the blind leading blind
From their doorstep, falling to their deaths
Shaking fists at outstretched hand again
You don't seem the educated type
And we won't march in line, keeping time
[Sample]
(When you're dealing with the terrorists, you have to take out their families.
When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families.
They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. They'd like to pretend they don't care about their lives,
You have to take out their families.)
Come child, your voice is strong
You won't be heard elsewhere
Take what you've been given
Forgo questions or be forgotten
Its right outside your doorstep
Ready to accept defeat
Ready to regress
Not one to object
Comply to the overhaul ahead
You won't alter plans that have tested time
And we won't unify with peace of mind
Come child, your voice is strong
You won't be heard elsewhere
Take what you've been given
Forgo questions or be forgotten
Truth is your opinion
Pathetic, what we've become
We stand alone in the trembling wake of a
Liars war and the free world's fall from grace
When all we know is consider fake we'll
Find comfort in this fragile state
Reap what others sow and ignore the debts we all have to pay
We can't ignore the sickness spreading forth
This senseless apathy will do more harm than force
We can't ignore
Its worse than times before
This senseless apathy will do more harm that force

End Game

You said you always wanted a queen
Someone you could rely on to kiss your feet
Now every night I hear how I'm stripping you dry
And its my fault, you didn't ask for this life
And I'm alone now sitting here in the dark
Thinking bout how I should have never shared thought
With a son of a bitch who picked at my flaws
You broke me down
You broke me down
I pushed myself against the wall
I caged myself in the dark
You always claim that you wanna play
Though you know its better left for another day
I pushed myself against the wall
Now the story moves onward to a broken man
Swollen eyes, he's holding his head in his hands
Can't hold up to the constant barking demands
And reminders theres others better than him
And your hateful daggers continue to twist
Until you're satisfied with the new self-loathing him
Dependent on false love you can't be bothered to give
You broke him down
You broke him down
Do you ever ask yourself, whats the end game?
Do you ever ask yourself, whats the end?
I pushed myself against the wall
I caged myself in the dark
You always claim that you wanna play
Though you know its better left for another day
I pushed myself against the wall
Do you ever ask yourself, whats the end game?
Do you ever ask yourself, whats the end?
I pushed myself against the wall
I caged myself in the dark
You always claim that you wanna play
Though you know its better left for another day
I pushed myself against the wall
I pushed myself against the wall
I pushed myself against the wall
