Abuse 05:29
Indulging thyself, the walls keep closing in on me - I look around, who's truly free? Building a shell engraved within a masterpiece - Now take a bow and leave me be Can I run until I finally crawl - and see you how you see me Should I sit around and watch them fall - among this panic your creating? Clawing in vain and scraping for a piece of truth - so tired there's no faking it Digging in pain - and yearning through the depths of you No loyalty is worth Abuse. Blue printed in time, another design to trade - for some hope that I'll recreate Erased from one life, the sponge sucks me dry, mutate - sinful ways and crippled faith I'd give all humility and crawl - rather be a pawn than a dirty king I'd gladly trip and take the fall because I'll fight for life on both knees.

Sit upon a throne like a deity Let's make a toast to disparity What's your worth & the cost? Give praise and peace to society Don't fake for sake of notoriety One day may find what you lost Weighing wealth outside, Never dignified Weigh my wealth inside, I'm satisfied Needing to feel alive - Reaching to feel the high (I'm giving and) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Selling my nothing Won't cry for what I cannot lose Selling my nothing Won't justify myself to you . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Beg for attention you'll never find Your soul confessions shedding light Is it true righteousness you seek Keep screaming at others to sympathize Seemingly is why you get criticized Can't you live and let be Weigh your wealth inside, Stay dignified No true wealth outside, you'll come to find . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Long ago, I let go, undertow pulls me slow . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

These motives to me unknown Caught within a mirror I'm casting you like a stone Reflection becoming clearer You lost me so I close the door Political lies leave me laughing Can't staple them down anymore Watch your media choreographing Plotting amongst the wolves Numbers have been declining Am I just merely wool? Do you see me as silver lining You want me to open the door Political cries end so badly Can't label them all like before The masses are awake & laughing Your haunting silence, haunting silence, haunting silence speaks through me.

Feeding Hand 03:54
Reality in time will be seen to recognize the lie from a dream Are these lands to be nations Or just an act separation? ___________________________________ You have finally removed, the heart from man Watch our faith decay inside of your own hands You have finally removed god from man Your eating right out of the Feeding Hand ___________________________________ The pillars with the world an atoll The Firmament of life circles all The weapon of your words such a treason Robbing our minds without reason ___________________________________ You have finally removed, the heart from man Many shades leave a trace of the same conman You have finally removed the soul of man Your eating right out of the Feeding Hand

Bankroll 05:41
Find I'm seeking more empty promises No more pleading, better off you don't exist Futile sound creeps in slowing giving birth Finally expound new meaning from your intended words. Bow to the ones who've stole Buy as they siphon your soul Clowns are the ones in control Submit your dime to the endless bankroll Life's a game at the top so just step in line Promise fame for the gullible and the lesser mind's What's to lose if you're caught up in the promise land If your screwed then you'll know where you finally stand.

Drift 04:46
Save me from, trickery Tear me down, from my sleeves Break my love, like chastity I am your friend in need Say it but just be real Even when straying away Blame if it helps you deal Even if feeling afraid Won't fake like I try And drift with the tides Or force you to believe in who'll you'll be Won't wear a disguise and live through your eyes Or sell you what life your gonna lead Drift with the tides, hold on tight, drifting away from me. Save me from, misery Tear me down, and leave me be Break my love, and help me see I'm still a friend in need

Immortalized 04:41
I find no reason, fighting wars that that no one wins I keep believing, that no enemies exist Fears what you bring in, you can choose to let it go, and let it flow, you never know. It's time to Stand tall - Live life - Don't give up on anything that helps you feel free Stand strong - now fight - Don't give up what you dream to keep them happy Fly with me and reach up high Come and be immortalized Give peace for madness compensate for all your tears Take love for sadness, why instigate and spread more fear? Trust what your feeling, you can choose to let this go, or let it flow, you never know. It's time to Elevate to higher state (repeat)

I see a future give way To a mother in pain I see a future in flames To each other I say Can I ask you one thing? Why can't we ever just leave? Why do we just sit down, cover our eyes so we won't have to think. Can you tell me one thing? Why can't we learn to just be? Why do we swallow this down, cover these lies so we won't need to feel. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Tied down to the bricks keeping me from swimming away Right now bring me deliverance sanctify the unclean Lying down underneath all the sins purify in their name Right now bring me deliverance from the Human Machine. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I let the past now give way To our father's own name I leave the past in my wake To each other I say

Time to become empty Let go of the needing Time to stop the guessing Stop all the mistreating One side of me turns to shadows Two faces keep battling for light One side of me lives through shadows - One side of me lives In search of the perfect hollow I'm finding a perfect hollow mind In search of the perfect hollow Not waiting for tomorrow. Life follows no pattern Everyone needs a meaning Life flows with candor Everyone fixed on grieving One side of me turns to shadows Two faces keep battling for light One side of me lives through shadows - One side of me lives In search of the perfect hollow I'm finding a perfect hollow mind In search of the perfect hollow Not waiting for tomorrow

One more wasted night- to chalk up and move on Another faithless ride- to find love in the lost Still the one who's a fool with that hope in my mind In time I may simply forget what is mine I'm the new forgotten Hunting grounds time to fight- can we win on our own? Forever chained to the blind-hoping to be atoned Still the one who's a fool for that hope in my mind In time I may simply forget what is mine I'm the new forgotten

I got no fire, to place inside your head Got no desire, to pull you like a thread You know I'm easy, guess I try my best Don't get uneasy, If you do then save your breath . . . . . . Chorus Still see your colors shine, underneath right to the core Still see that wicked smile, walking out the door I'm weightless on your shoulders, so I must confess you are, girl you are a wonderful mess. I see you grabbing, every straw that's in the air They turn to candy, as you reach they dissappear I'm tired of feelings, just unfix the ones that hurt? If you think on leaving, you can find me back on earth Still see your colors shine, underneath right to the core Still see that wicked smile, walking out the door
