Always felt like strangers,
Crowded in with other strangers.
Always feared the nighttime,
The lessons learned in darkness…
So it’s got to be like you said,
Never good enough – blow my head,
Throw me to the ground, let’s see if you can hold me down…
Tried to keep it peaceful, despite the weapons of words.
Never fear the outcome – unless those voices come out of darkness…
So it’s got to be like you said,
Never good enough – blow my head,
Throw me to the ground, let’s see if you can hold me down…
Never fear…
So it’s got to be like you said,
Never good enough – blow my head,
Throw me to the ground, let’s see if you can hold me down…

Listen to the one who defies the answer,
We hope it all works out one day.
And now we’re getting reckless, it’s strange behaviour -
An ever-higher price to pay.
So long.
It’s all gone.
The war’s won...
Put a gun to your head, just like I said,
Keep your eyes on me now the pig is dead.
I’m just a bystander at the scene of the crime...
We’re living the way of the future, of long-dead ancestors.
We can’t even breathe the fucking air.
So long.
It’s all gone.
The war’s won...
Put a gun to your head, just like I said,
Keep your eyes on me now the pig is dead,
I’m just a bystander at the scene of the crime...
Latent power from the witching hour…
You’re giving it up to strangers, like nothing at all…
You’re wishing there was no danger, your head in the sand...
Put a gun to your head, just like I said,
Keep your eyes on me now the pig is dead,
I’m just a bystander at the scene of the crime...

Shifting Sands

You’ve got the angles all wrong
It’s like you never tried at all
You’ve given up some self-control
You couldn’t help yourself any day soon
Hide in plain sight – no contest
You’re forgiven – unfettered
My surrender – I’m fighting
You deny it – no matter
Made us ashamed, unclean
Mirrors, they’ve shattered
Maintain the foulest message
Like none of it mattered
You never looked like the one
Your spinning head, your broken mind, it’s gone
The urge to hunt down and destroy
It’s overwhelming but at least it’s mine
Hide in plain sight – no contest
You’re forgiven – unfettered
My surrender – I’m fighting
You deny it – no matter
Made us ashamed, unclean
Mirrors, they’ve shattered
Maintain the foulest message
Like none of it mattered
The wrong advice you’ve given
Now cold revenge exacting
I’ve washed my hands like Pilate
No other way to guide it
Made us ashamed, unclean
Mirrors, they’ve shattered
Maintain the foulest message
Like none of it mattered

As One

Slow down and wait – you’re killing me faster,
You’re tempting the fates, I don’t want to leave it.
We might have a problem, a hidden believer,
Cry out if you can’t take the blame…
So make up your mind, your choices are fading,
Lives are entwined, are voices are as one…
As one,
I’m hoping it’s worth it as we try to get it done…
Give up this lie, it’s all beyond reason.
Though I might try, exceed expectations.
So make up your mind, your choices are fading,
Lives are entwined, our spirits are as one…
As one,
I’m hoping it’s worth it as we try to get it done.
So rewind to the beginning,
Inside, where nothing matters…
As one,
I’m hoping it’s worth it as we try to get it done.

Too Many Times Won
You want to end it now, and still you try not to.
You try the only way how, the cost just doesn’t matter.
Call it what you want, I say ‘betray’,
You must release your hold, give up this day…
I look back, die wondering,
Caught up in spells stunning,
Life changing, mind bridging,
Illuminated, souls mutated…
You know this hurts, still you can’t stop scratching.
You know it’s disturbed, the razor keeps on cutting.
Call it what you want, I say ‘betray’,
You must release your hold, give up this day…
I look back, die wondering,
Caught up in spells stunning.
Life changing, mind bridging,
Illuminated, souls mutated…
Too many times won, in the shadows, they’re hidden ventures.
Too many times won, in the shadows, in the shadows…

Down to the Stars

I wake up slowly, unholy.
My head won’t realise…
There’s no more innocence in stories,
The words just don’t apply…
Look and see – you know you’ll be…
We knew the end that was coming,
We saw the fractured sun.
A channel right to the heavens that never appease anyone.
Look and see – you know you’ll be…
I miss the light in you,
You hope that hope will prove,
We give up shattered dreams,
I hope it’s all that it seems.
Pick up the pieces,
Forget all your hopeless promises,
Don’t keep it secret,
Desperate and lonely…
I miss the light in you,
You hope that hope will prove,
We give up shattered dreams,
I hope it’s all that it seems.
Look and see – you know you’ll be…
Given time, we’ll make it right,
Given hope…
Don’t look away, you’ll lose your sight,
Don’t let it go…

Liars all, they come in legions and lead us all to war.
The history of the dark deceptions, they know the truth no more.
Prepare the killing floor!
To even up the score!
We want it no more!
Opened veins from empty vessels, you see the red release.
Listen to the worthless answers, a vain attempt at peace.
Prepare the killing floor!
To even up the score!
The bloodlust wanting more!
We want it no more!
You wanted infection,
A new direction,
You kept it in closer,
It was all noted,
Another confession,
It’s all complication
Another infraction
A different distraction
It was all lies…
