Finding Light

Silent abandon
Sliding down the doorframe
Gazes burning in my mind
I load the cannon
Mercilessly take aim
And refuse to step aside
Melancholy master
Make-believe misfortune
Malice materialized
How I wish that I could dream of her and not disaster
But it’s just begun
I manifested her demise
Don’t wanna start again
So stay where you are
It doesn’t matter what is right
I’m finding light
In knowing you’re not far
It’s still paralyzing fantasizing so
A body in a box
Lifeless black is bleeding
Light touch and a nod
Begin the proceeding
Some people count the way they love and cry
At least I’ll be well versed in saying goodbye
Better stay busy so I’ll stay sane
Better keep singing to free my brain
Got to keep moving to quell my fear
Got to stay on it so you stay here
(Ryan solo)
Don’t wanna start again
So stay where you are
It doesn’t matter what is right
I’m finding light
In knowing you’re not far
Don’t wanna start again
So stay where you are
It doesn’t matter what is right
I’m finding light
In knowing you’re not far

War-Torn Soul

(Ryan solo)
The face I see through your disguise
Is it enough to clarify
The feelings you will give off?
I can't take it
The way you make me feel
This aching heart feels way too real
The pain I feel has to be fate
For the both of us, it's too late
All you do to me
Every piece you break
Translates to
A war torn soul
It's not hard to live when you try to die
You don't have to live this life
It's time to move on
Past the lies you laid before me
I never knew it would get to this point
What if I stayed just one more night
To find a resolution to this fight
I have to do what I know is right
Just to make it through one more night
All you do to me
Every piece you break
Translates to
A war torn soul
It's not hard to live when you try to die
You don't have to live this life
Everything we've done
Every piece we break
Translates to our own
War torn souls
It's easy to live
When we try to die
Maybe we don't have to live this life

Deceiver
05:07

Nothing is clear anymore
Our blindfolds give us nothing to explore
You won't believe the truth
Just a meaningless waste of youth
Grasp on to what we hold dear
Later in life all these sins disappear
Darkness takes hold
Safety fades and we lose control
I struggle to find my way…
Met with another take
The idle hand it guides my fate
Deceived to the worst degree
They flaunt corruption in ways that you can't see
Rejecting all that they've said,
I dig through the dirt to reach the end…
All alone in the night
Left to surrender to face my plight
And I fight to believe…
The truth is all that we have
Do not forsake it
Hold it close the rest of your life
Let it grow, discover what is true
Hold it within you
Sanctify the rest of your life
Your mind
A temple
Holds all
We dare keep secret
It’s easy to proclaim
Divinity in lies
It’s so hard to repel
Truth in time
My life divine
Savor the ability within
And I fight to believe
The truth is all that we have
Do not forsake it
Hold it close the rest of your life
Let it grow, discover what is new
Hold it within you
Serenity the rest of your life
The lies defy all that's inside
Never repay debt
A power resides
Time has come for you to realize
Power within your mind
Don't forget to say goodbye
Deceiver divine

Back To The Start
04:30

Back to the start of the fight
I never wanted to believe
The reflecting pool is crystal clear
Revealing my unending fear
As I stand in the water
It shatters my paradigm into a new life
Deeper into the ice
The cleansing further penetrates my soul
You can't escape the coming flood
Don't try to escape, don't try to run
Rectifying your deeds is the only path
Of enduring the Iron Hands' wrath
Leave me be
I can see through your veil of lies
Under a guise of adaptation
Are the glistening fangs of death
Clouds are parting
Let's go back to the start
Forget your tattered past
Run for your life
The damage has been done
Who's holding the light?
Let go of your frigid past
Run for your life
Shedding my old skin
Turning toward the future
The reflecting pool is crystal clear
I can now believe
Unwavering trust can never be an option
Is it crazy to think that your life is based on assumption?
Don't you worry now, we're almost done
Don't be so concerned, you are only one
Soon there will be others to rise in our wake
It's a useless fight, an endless design we create
Say what you will
The cycle will end, with it your will
Oh, it's gonna die
Nothing will survive
Go back to the start of the fight
The clouds are parting
Let's go back to the start
Forget your tattered past
Run for your life
The damage has been done
Who's holding the light?
Let go of your frigid past
Run for your life
Embrace this new light
Let it guide your life
By choice you’ve found it
By grace you’ve accepted
Now that the clouds are gone
We can understand
What we are to become
We can finally see

Cage
05:01
|

Sanity is pushed to the side
Never to be found
In this fragile mind
It's gone
Destroyed in its wake
Taking a respite
In the darkness
When the tables are turned
And the lessons are burned In my mind
The hatred seethes
Through the cracks of my existence
All this time
It's been clear
What I should do
The realization of me
The time of my life
Has come to a head
An explanation of joy
A stripping away of hatred
A life away from the cage
It's what I needed...
I can't breathe
I can't feel
Won't you save me from myself?
Don't you see
It's all a plan
To strip away my sovereignty
The time has come
To feed the flames
Keeping my soul in its cage
It won't be easy
To keep me enslaved
As long as my mind is kept safe
I guess it's not easy to forget what I've done
Just another day, another song unsung
Maybe I can rectify what I have failed to do
Yet another feeble attempt at returning to you
Something this obvious I failed to see
It was right in front me, taunting me
A punch in the gut, a slap in the face
My arrogance has failed me…once again
I can breathe
I can feel
I've been saved from myself
I can see
The plan to steal me
It has failed
And now I’m free

Disillusion Defined
05:43
|

Time
Keeps me at bay
Squandering my breath
The clock
Seconds tick
Falling through my hands
It left me long ago
It was written in stone
Primal ordinance
A stagnating presence
Unmitigated purpose
Keeps you under its weight
It won’t be easy
It won't be easy to find a way out
Pendulum dreams shatter me
Goodbye reverie and destiny
After all this time
Disillusion defined
Keeper of lies
The illusion of time
Keeps pulling at the strings of reality
Removing the chains
The ties that bind
Gained autonomy
The third eye sight
Eternal battles rage within
Hellish torture underneath my skin
Forever imprisoned
Shackled mind
There is nothing left
But the illusion of time
The tide rejects
As all time and space conforms
To the notion of eternity
Nature laughing at chronology
Pendulum dreams shatter me
Goodbye reverie and destiny
After all this time
Disillusion defined

Venom

I can't believe myself
My arrogance
This awful feeling must be removed
I made a monster
Of my own design
And left you helpless
With a knife in your spine
I feel your rage
Correctly directed
At my faults
I discarded your trust
For my own hunger
A deceitful charade
It's easy to know with all the lies I told
Sever me from inside your soul
A quiet display of a poisonous charade
The venom sinks deep and spreads through me
Childish propaganda
Endless fabrication
My fiction has been realized
I’ve begun to unravel
Not a day too late
A fitting end to my fate
How can I move on
From an unreal perverse wrong
I deserve this hate
Don't expect my presence
Something that won't be missed
To understand my fault is where I begin
It's easy to know with all the lies I told
Sever me from inside your soul
A quiet display of a poisonous charade
The venom sinks deep and spreads
I will not dissimulate my apology
I recognize my encroachment
Take me out from your life
My insidious mistake
This is my expression of regret
The mire I trudge is well deserved
The inescapable effect of my actions
Is a suitable punishment
There is only so much I can do
There is only so little I deserve
It's easy to know with all the lies I told
Sever me from inside your soul
A quiet display of a poisonous charade
The venom sinks deep and spreads through me

Keep It Within
06:17
|

(Ryan solo)
Left alone
To face my demon
An apparition of pain
The evil which closes in
It never appeared to exist
That hanging sculpture
The lantern, the ever present din
My existential bane
You seem to know my pain
But do you know my hate?
Wear the crown of thorns
Never will you understand
My loathing inside
I no longer hide
Keep It within
What makes you whole
Keep It within your soul
Hold it deep down inside
As your doubt subsides
Hold it close
As I slay my fate
I sacrifice my hate
I choose to distract
What weakens me
Deciding time
My merciless rhyme
Of tireless torture
A journey of fortune
I know my pain
Do I know my hate?
I wear the crown of thorns
How can I understand
My loathing inside
I no longer hide
(Brian solo)
Keep It within
What makes you whole
Keep It within your soul
Hold it deep down inside
As your doubt subsides
Hold it close
I hold close

Let It Run Free
07:32
|
|||
(Ryan solo)
It's not easy to take it a step at a time
May take a while to realize
There's nothing wrong with going slow
Just close your eyes and let your mind unfold
Time ticks away
My mind drifts away
I don't want it caught, I don't want it back
Just let it run free
(Ryan solo)
It's hard to resist temptation
A million can't be wrong
Why don't you open the door?
This temple will not be razed
How can you question the gilded platter?
Crisis calls for immediate action
They move in fast to usurp the throne
There's nothing wrong with going slow
Turn back the clock, don't let the bomb explode
Freedom slips away
My rights chip away
I will not accept this, no
Just let me run free
I must resist temptation
A million can be wrong
Why don't you do what's right?
This sacred temple will not be razed
No matter how hard you try, until the day I die
You’ll never let me run free
Hey man at the front of the room
So sorry to leave so soon
But the slave still ponders yesterday
Does it threaten you?
Does it sicken and offend you
That I don't feel your level of shame?
(Brian solo)
