Slave Of Mind
04:17
|

Someone close and far away,
They slip and fall to catch their breath.
Just another working day,
It's all that's left, it's all that's left.
All the colors seem to fade,
Washed away of what once was.
It doesn't have to.
And yet it stands.
Fear as cold as steel.
The way you used to lie, alone,
In this place you once called home.
Slave of mind.
Free what binds you and take what's left to see.
Wipe away your bloodshot eyes,
You'll be okay of this I'm sure.
You can turn your face,
But you still see.
Every time you turn your back on me
I try to see through your misery.
Make me feel it,
I'll make time to see.
My tomb is calling.
My destiny.
Fear as cold as steel.
The way you used to lie, alone,
In this place you once called home.
Slave of mind.
Free what binds you and take what's left to see.

Equilibrium

Foolishly you should have known
That all of this could go so far astray.
Why would you ever have gone.
I can't seem to make it through this.
You can't seem to make me do this.
Running blind. So empty.
So used up. I won't lose.
Time for me is nothing but a tool
Fight or flight what will you do?
I can't seem to make it through this.
You can't seem to make me do this.
I'm not the one who used to read between the lines.
All this time. There's a piece of me inside.
I'm sitting quietly inside my open cell.
In my dreams, I swore I saw or felt the hand of God.
Live a lie or turn the truth.
Look to the ones you thought you left behind.
To save a life I would do anything just don't choose
I can't seem to make it through this.
You can't seem to make me do this.
Why am I so damn frustrated?
An overdue and underrated
Time was once my own.
Going down the path we've lost
We never seem to know the cost
Of what it is to grow
Why am I so damn frustrated?
An overdue and underrated
Time was once my own
I'm not the one who used to read between the lines.
All this time. There's a piece of me inside.
I'm sitting quietly inside my open cell.
In my dreams, I swore I saw or felt the hand of God.

Turn Out The Lights
04:43
|

See through.
Another fleeting reason makes it hard for me
To know just where to be.
See through.
The old light bulb is gleaming,
But the flicker is the hardest thing to see.
Make due with all the things you're given.
It could be so much worse than this.
I knew the moment I laid eyes on it, I knew it.
I always wanted more.
I don't get why you never let me in.
I'm sick of wanting to die.
I tried to turn out the lights,
And yet you sit there watching me destroy myself
I'm bleeding.
Will you take this one request
And lay this weary soul to rest.
Fall down.
The walls come down around you
And you're sweating as
You're looking towards the door.
By now the only thing you're wanting
Is for someone soon to pick you off the floor
And hold you close.
Hold you close.
I don't get why you never let me in.
I'm sick of wanting to die.
I tried to turn out the lights,
And yet you sit there watching me destroy myself
I'm bleeding.
Will you take this one request
And lay this weary soul to rest.

Break
03:56
|

You. Screaming. Blame it on yourself.
I'm seeing pain I know too well.
Soon giving up what you call real.
Blind. Bleeding. Why can you not feel
And yet you see?
And I evade your words
Like you evade my gaze.
You don't seem to recognize
You just might break.
Why? This time.
You feel like you are lost inside.
You know who you can and will not be.
And I evade your words
Like you evade my gaze.
You don't seem to recognize
You just might break.

If I Could Stay Here
03:49
|

Balance fades and returns again.
Still a trace of once a young man.
Look in his eyes. To my surprise
He looks to the future.
Still looking for a place to belong there.
Just take it slow.
Where would I go?
Who would I know
Even if I could stay here?
Where would I run?
It's all in good fun
And so it goes.
The feelings I've lost
They've all turned to dust
And I keep on planting the seeds
To sprout more. And here I am.
I'm going back home.
Puts on his shoes
And takes a step out the door.
The ties are loose
But who cares what they're for.
The summer heat
Can really beat down at you at times.
So why don't you find some shelter
From that sunshine.
Just take it slow.
Where would I go?
Who would I know
Even if I could stay here?
Where would I run?
It's all in good fun
And so it goes.
The feelings I've lost
They've all turned to dust
And I keep on planting the seeds
To sprout more. And here I am.
I'm going back home.
Where do I go now?
What do I seem to know?
To make a difference.
Something I'd like to show.
Just take it slow.
Where would I go?
Who would I know
Even if I could stay here?
Where would I run?
It's all in good fun
And so it goes.
The feelings I've lost
They've all turned to dust
And I keep on planting the seeds
To sprout more. And here I am.
I'm going back home.
I'm going back home.

We Were Once Perfect
04:25

What if this is not what I wanted?
What if we were wrong from the start?
What if all we've done is for nothing?
I hope that thought tears you apart.
I want to see you getting angry at me for everything I've done.
Some heartbreak for the time I left you alone while I was out having fun.
You know I hate to see you cry, but I need to see you hurting for me.
If we care about all we said we would be.
But what if this is not what I wanted?
What if we were wrong from the start?
What if all we've done is for nothing?
I hope that thought tears you apart.
If we were starting to fall like angels to hell,
Would you try and stop us before we fell
All the way down, where there is no going back?
Does that even make you look back?
If I was dead in the water would you pull me out?
Or just let me lie there while you lie and tell me all about
How we were once perfect and knew what we wanted;
Love was our life, but now we're just haunted
By the words we used to say.
When you call me at night and say that you're not okay.
That you can't live you life without me:
That you can't make it through the day without hearing my voice
Well, you made your choice
You made your choice
But what if this is not what I wanted?
What if we were wrong from the start?
What if all we've done is for nothing?
I hope that thought tears you apart.

Wishful Thinking
04:17
|
|||
Signs. Giving you a little piece of mind.
Makes you feel unstoppable but why?
Can't you see the jealousy inside?
What are you gonna do?
Who are you to be telling me I'm not worth it?
You have no ground to stand on.
Until I fade away and everything is over.
The pain will all subside
But in the end I'll still survive.
Until I fade away. The final fight I'll conquer.
Wish it all to end. Try to defend but stand aside.
Wander. Aimlessly you wander through your mind.
Trying to find a way to pass the time.
But you can't tell me you never think of
Who are you to be telling me I'm not worth it?
You have no ground to stand on.
Until I fade away and everything is over.
The pain will all subside
But in the end I'll still survive.
Until I fade away. The final fight I'll conquer.
Wish it all to end. Try to defend but stand aside.

Unstable
04:09
|

I've been here for so long.
All my life has been
And now what's to show?
For you see my friends
I always wanted to stay here,
Safe and warm.
I never seemed to recognize
The time and place
From whence it came, where it goes.
Feeling weak at time again
Cuz all the world is spinning
And everything is changing
Cuz I won't change, no I won't
No matter where life takes me
And I don't see, no I don't
Why all things do around me.
Why do people change? I don't know.
They must be so unstable.
I can see you there.
Your essence slowly flowing from you.
Hope it won't.
The person you once were,
Love has changed it, life deranged it.
Now I know.
I always thought that you'd be different
Like you'd refuse to change.
Guess I'm wrong.
Cuz I won't change, no I won't
No matter where life takes me
And I don't see, no I don't
Why all things do around me.
Why do people change? I don't know.
They must be so unstable.

These Waters
04:16
|
|||
The wind howls close sounding familiar.
The empty echo cries out my name.
The feeling near makes me feel at home here
And the ship sails on through the ever raging seas.
These waters they are unrelenting
Cuz they leave us broken and cold.
As we sail on through these phases in our lives
We keep looking back to see the waves we made in our souls.
There is no slowing the wind in our sails.
There is no telling when the storm will come.
The only thing I can do is make sure I get through
And see the horizon in the fog.
These waters they are unrelenting
Cuz they leave us broken and cold.
As we sail on through these phases in our lives
We keep looking back to see the waves we made in our souls.
Looking back was it worth
The things that we made
And the people we hurt
Regardless what's done is done
These waters they are unrelenting
Cuz they leave us broken and cold.
As we sail on through these phases in our lives
We keep looking back to see the waves we made in our souls.

Falling Further
04:16
|

And I take another pill
Just to kill the pain.
You know I will
Cuz when you left me
You left an empty soul
Too deep to fill.
Why did I push this far?
It's like everything for nothing,
Sinking in tar.
I look to myself and I wonder why
Oh why did you have to lie to me?
Another day.
I find a way to bleed through all these changes
And still the same, I finally break through.
I want you to know that I am fine.
Look out the window.
The separation of what's just outside
Falling Further.
If I could look inside your mind
And set you free.
This time it's blurred.
How much more focus will it take
To make you see.
And the rage.
A thousand souls to blame.
Stays the same.
The hatred fuels their enemies.
It's what you seek.
Chasing yet another lonely dream.
Onto your feet.
You suddenly.
You knew.
Falling Further.
If I could look inside your mind
And set you free.
This time it's blurred.
How much more focus will it take
To make you see.
Make you see.
How much more
How much more will it take to make you see.
Again in this dream I see you crumbling.
Falling away from me.
Falling Further.
If I could look inside your mind
And set you free.
This time it's blurred.
How much more focus will it take
To make you see.
