>> Reason

What if I don't really care
What If I don't want to know
What if I don't really see this
What if you're another lie
What if you're a fake to me
What if I want to see you bleed
I've got my Reasons
What if I don't know this game
What if I don't care
What if I don't want to know
What If I don't need you
What if you decieve me
What if I just want to know why...

>> Down

Hiding behind the walls that I've
fashioned here in hindsight Keeping
up the mask of the lies that have
scarred my life tearing apart
my flesh for my flesh I feel this killing spree
Now that you've gone and said it
boy can't you keep from dealing
me Talking about the other times
thought that I'd set you free Saving
the flesh to kill the spirit
Down Down finding my way around
Down Down turning my life around
All of my life I've tried to
get away from this Talking
about the way that I can
sabotage my play Now
I stand here another
broken life come on boy
get up or get real
Taking another look
at the reality I've made
do I get up to get up or
do I crumble Learning to face
my fears with God by my side come
on boy get up or get down
Trying to keep this failure in my life
to a minimum doing it by myself
and the fear becomes a synonym
Trying to forget the reason for all
this pain come on boy get up or get real
Giving away this Hell that I began
to call my life starting to see an
ending to the frailty of strife
kneeling down fave first before the
cross come on boy get up or get real.

>> Thru 2 U

Here we go boom boom boom again
I'm caught in my mind somebody's
telling me I'm already dead dead to
my flesh or dead to the spirit if I
were alive then you'd think that
I'd hear it G. It's in his trickery the lie
that he spreads aaaa term in my head
bringing me down making me boy
to this place that I dread.
Cause everytime I look in the mirror
I see the reflection of the one that
I fear turn my back on the love of my
life here I stand now just me and
my pride.
Somebody getting thru 2 u Better
be thinking twice boy
I try to breathe caught down ripped
asunder feeling the weight that I've
brought from this underworld place
grown cold tear my flesh bring obedience
see this boy I hope that you're getting this...

>> Blame

Won't you come with me
To a place I like to hide
To a place where I can slumber
against the fall of this world
Who you gonna blame
Everywhere I go
Gotta find someone to give the abuse
Gotta pass off the blame you gotta blame it on me
Now I see your shame
the shadows comfort you
your guilt stricken face it tells me
that you've been just where I've been
Who you gonna blame?

>> She Cries

Won't you come away with me
tonight we can fly passed the
moon and the starlight It doesn't
matter where you've been before
On a night like this It doesn't
matter where you've been before
I'll love you like this...
and she cries.
Can't you see I won't leave but
you have to open your eyes Here
I stand take my hand let go of
the fear that you hold...
Don't throw your pearls to the
swine tonight don't let them
take your innocence Just
remember the times I held your
hand and kept you close
Remember the times I held you
up and now...
she cries

>> Thorn Of Rage

Living like a dog among
a swine among a trough
aaaa of slime I want to
puke on all the times
they pissed me off
don't give a slam
about a thing they
wanna fight I'm
gonna cream another
punk because I'm
mean from all the
pretty things I've seen.
You just kneel down
beside the bench all you
do is pay your money and
forget the rest I say forget it
man I want to know the lord
I want to take up his cross I
want to take up his sword It
doesn't matter if you're white
or black He says we're sacred
so deal with that And don't
bend the world to fit your
style just teach it right to
make it worth your while.
Thorn of Rage
Your prayers aren't answered
you wonder why It's probably
cause you don't know the guy
you gotta know who you're
talking to cause if you don't
well it's no use you gotta find
time to read the word everyday
you say that's absurd you
gotta love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your mind.

>> Sydwinder

I'm always filling my mind
with all this aaaaa lit treat the
woman I love like a degenerate I got to give it up
I'm getting sick of it
Sydwinder It's on the ground
Sydwinder It comes unwound
Sydwinder It's all around
Sydwinder It's on the ground
I'm always telling my mind
I got to get it right I'm always
telling my mind i got to get it right
I'm always telling my mind I got to get it right
Their always telling my mind I got to get it right
Their always telling my mind I got to get it right
Their always telling my mind I got to get it right
You're raping my mind.

>> Phat

You walk into your beautiful house
You stuff a steak in your beautiful mouth
You drive around in your big beautiful car
You blow your money on your beautiful hair
You think you're better cause you got more than me
You lose it all then who would you be
You're just a punk in a Mercedes Benz
You drive around to impress your friends
Taking me for a ride
Your bellies phat and you're ready for slaughter
You're bowing down to the all mighty dollar
Taking me for a ride...

>> Hey June

Hey June I can't believe
you going away again this fall.
Hey June I can't take much more of this at all
Cause life was meant to be so much more than you are...
Hey June I didn't hear you come in late again last night
Hey June I can't smell his cologne on you
Hey June Are you gonna stay out late again tonight
Cause life was meant to be so much more than you are...
Here she comes again she comes and goes.

>> Everything

Here I m a broken man
down on my face once again
and I have seen this place so many times before
so you won't pick me up and turn me right side out.
And when I turn my eyes on you your my everything
Here I am a jaded man stand on my own
once again so won't you take my life and everything I am
cause I can't stay here oh no here I go again
Here I am a broken man
down on my face once again.
Now I feel the fire burning inside
I can see your hands molding me right
I will run I will fall I will run to you.

>> Vacant

The night bleeds day
with every breath I take
reality brings
bright eyes smooth skin.

So what is left from this
a bottle of broken self.
In a moment it’ll all be gone
til the next time when it all comes back.

Come on
feed a lie
watch the birth
kiss the dirt.
kiss it.

Next time has come and gone
what will bring the end
a promise thrown into the night
or a little reminder.

So what is left from this
a bottle of broken self.
In a moment it’ll all be gone
til the next time when it all comes back.

feed a lie
watch the birth
kiss the dirt.
kiss it.

Searching through these pieces
looking for your shadow.
Getting closer all the time.

Countless words
in a sea of explanation
flailing to grasp
a rock (to stand).

Shoulda let you go

Searching through these pieces
looking for your shadow.
Getting closer all the time.

feed a lie
watch the birth.
kiss the dirt.

>> Dwell

Head hurts
back here again I
painted the walls
the aaaaas remain and
I fear
to close my eyes
become accustomed
so dig in.
Every time
I breathe this air
the sick stench
never seems to go away.

You fail
You break
You freak
You falter
You lie
You kill
You burn
You’re nothing...(x 2)
to me...

Head hurts
back here again I
painted the walls
the aaaaas remain and
every time
I breathe this air
the sick stench
it never seems to go away
...go away . . .

You fail
You break
You freak
You falter
You lie
You kill
You burn
You’re nothing...(x 2)

I feel it changing
the air...clean...
it’s you...

You fail
You break
You freak
You falter
You lie
You kill
You burn
You’re nothing...(x 2)

>> Drink Me

Shallow pictures of the way that it was meant to be.
Set the standard so we think like that.
Open up your eyes.
Normalicy is what you think you’re living in.
Time to see yourself for who you are.
Time to live.

Burn it down. Walk away.
Tear it down. Walk away.

Pass the folly of the greedy to the younger ones
Keep the righteous from the open wound.
Gather up the dead.
What is real?

Burn it down. Walk away.
Tear it down. Walk away.

You were right...
You were right...

>> Seven

Walk the gauntlet of lies.
Who will it be today...
Secrets of this place
never knowing...
Follow the ones that consume
becoming just like them.
Fade away among the crowds again.

And I can read the stains inside your mind
remains of the beauty.
And I can hope for the silence of your words
cause I know I’ll be caught here...

And I could never really find the answers
always locked inside of something so close.
And I could never really find the reasons
just assumed it was you.

Pushed in a corner where screams die
fighting to stay alive.
Cower down to be alone.
Nothing is worth this.
When is the right time to let it all go?
Not that it matters...but I fear
I fear that someday
it’ll find its way to you.

I could never really find the answers
always locked inside of something so close.
I could never really find the reasons
just assumed it was you.

I could never really find the answers
always locked inside of something so close.
I could never really find the reasons
just assumed it was you.

>> For Every Wish

Watching from the shadows
stealing all that’s left.
Great deceiver
(so) beautiful.
Fading moments
passing like years.
Wish everything
was perfect.

I’m all I’ll ever need
so go away.
Keep your lies.
For every wish
there’s hope and time.

Now it’s complicated
I wish I was medicated.
There’s gotta be some way out of here.
Looking for release
to end the greatest need.

I’m all I’ll ever need
so go away.
Keep your lies.
For every wish
there’s hope and time. (x 2)

GOD HELP ME!!
GOD HELP ME!!

Gotta peel away the skin
just find The Truth in here. (x 2)

I’m all I’ll ever need
so go away.
Keep your lies.
For every wish
there’s hope and time. (x 2)

For every wish...

>> Brutally Wrong

Kicked and stabbed along the way
planning for the hour.
Revenge a method one of many
to consummate the change.

Why what could you ever gain?
Nothing it seems except being lame.
What what could you ever lose?
Brutally wrong it’s all a game.

Moving forward leaving something
requires the unsaid.
Be a man and let it all go
abandoning your pride.

Why what could you ever gain?
Nothing it seems except being lame.
What what could you ever lose?
Brutally wrong it’s all a game. (x 2)

Now it’s here
time to choose.
You decide
what you’ll become.

Why what could you ever gain?
Nothing it seems except being lame.
What what could you ever lose?
Brutally wrong it’s all a game. (x 2)

>> Murderer

Waiting in a corner standing.
Playing out the best case.
Your pleasure is nearing.

Hunt them.
Get away.
Hurt them.

In a moment madness reeling.
There’s no one watching now
the innocence dying.

Hunt them.
Get away.
Hurt them.

Nothing Breathes inside...
Nothing Lives inside...

Sickening cries call out.
Begging to be released
only to find
they’re falling on deaf ears.

Hunt them.
Get away.
Hurt them.

Nothing Breathes inside...
Nothing Lives inside...(x 2)

>> Envy

I watched you fade away
into a sea of taillights.
My eyes still strained to this day...
Evidence of who we were
left here along the way.
I see the truth in the tree.

I’ll free you fall away.
I’ll free you fade away. (x 2)

The world just stopped its pull
and I could almost hear you
crying out through the noise...
The things I thought I knew
so close to understanding.
But now I’m dumb to the wise.

I’ll free you fall away.
I’ll free you fade away. (x 2)

I see her perfectly clothed in white...my eyes burn...

I’ll free you fall away.
I’ll free you fade away. (x 2)

>> The Final Say

Gather around to hear the future.
Wonder what or who it will be.
Rumors fly of the possibilities
everyone is taking a chance.

And I know when everything’s said and done
in the end nothing they say will matter anyway.

We’ll always be just who we are.
We’ll be okay no matter where we land.

Time to take the stage.
Turn my eyes up towards the sky.
The room is very dark
but somehow there’s light in here.

And I know when everything’s said and done
in the end nothing they say will matter anyway.

We’ll always be just who we are.
We’ll be okay no matter where we land. (x 2)

So here we are.
Better put on The happy face
Open up the curtains
Show the final word what they want
what they want...

We’ll always be just who we are.
We’ll be okay no matter where we land. (x 2)

>> Zero Hour

Walking against the wind
pushing the endless road
where will we lay our heads?
Soothing to kiss her lips.
It’s where we long to be
Chaos and comfort are near.

We’ll run together
Facing the night.

Gripping the morning star

Breathing a long relief
watching the houses fade.
So now the lines are drawn
and see the blood run cold
what if the world stops spinning?

Don’t walk away.
Nothing to say just stay here with me
we’ll look back and laugh someday.
Don’t run away
Life’s got its ways of bringing you
down kicking you in the teeth.

So give it all some time
at least we have each other.
I know we’ll dream.

Don’t walk away.
Nothing to say just stay here with me
we’ll look back and laugh someday.
Don’t run away
Life’s got its ways of bringing you
down kicking you in the teeth.

So give it all some time
at least we have each other.
I know we’ll dream.

>> The Great Facade

Lost among the rind the wastes of space
the ones we hold so high...
Something’s different here maybe the air
maybe a different look; a smile.

...Your eyes are so...

Heard this once before one who shined
against the cold embrace.
Peel away the lies the great façade.
Left with thing more...than you.

...I know your eyes...

Where where do you hide your wings?
Tell me...
Where where do you hide your wings?

Lost inside this noise so cold.
Every light is listening.
Open up your mouth speak in truth.
Don’t let it all slip away...
The mirror it never lies so know.
Blinded...we all become dead...

Where where do you hide your wings?
Tell me...
Where where do you hide your wings?
Show me...

Where where do you hide your wings?
Tell me...
Where where do you hide your wings...

>> Wake

And now I see the end
And everything is gone
As I begin to move
As I begin to see.
And all I want to do.
Is be in here with you
And all I want from you.
You will wake me
And now I see this life
As it begins to shine
And I begin to see
Just what's inside of me.
Now I wait here broken
Waiting to see you
Eyes wide open.

>> Song-x

Only 21 with his whole life ahead of him
Thinking about the friends he had
Now that they're six feet under
Paying the price for a blunder
Can you feel his pain; it's crashing like thunder.
But he rolls on the gun by his side
The bullet in the chamber and the fear he can't hide
Another punk sucker steps into the focus
Making him disappear with a little hocus-pocus.
Just another punk sucker from the boulevard farm.
Your mind is blind and your eyes can't see.
My silence bred violence as I sit here on the inside
Deceived taking for granted the air that I breathed
Names carved deep inside these time scared walls
What's up boo?
Step up; check in you better start praying Is it your time to fall?

>> Nephesh

Escaping
Your breath cold
Now strain to hear your voice
Pushing away your hand
The weight again it falls away.
You're only going to be what you see
You're never going to jump up
You're only going to be what you see
You're always going to be what you are now.
You're only going to be what you see
You're never going to jump up
You're only going to be what you see
You're never going to become just like him.
Reliving
This needs real
Now turn to see your face
Pushing away your hand
The weight again it falls away.
Now finally seeing what you've always known was true
Beginning to exchange what once was here for you.

>> Closure

We should of known it'd be like this
An upward struggle of falling down
We've taken comfort in loathing
It's where we used play anyway.
What you can see is only half of who you are
What you can say is only half of what you mean
The days just seem to be longer
There's no more strength in these broken hands
Our faces sunken with hunger
Turning upward we fall to our knees.

>> Disturbed

Lies birthed kill innocence.
Childs smile turn upside-down.
Silence bears the mark you see bring an end to what's to come.
You don't see what I can see twisted pictures haunting me
Failure trails so close behind you'll just wait till we meet again.
You You're the reason. You're the one that's stealing my freedom.
Anger scars another back Child quiet to mask the pain
Running from a scary man bring an end to what's to come.
You don't see what I can see twisted pictures haunting me
Failure trails so close behind you'll just wait till we meet again.
:-):-):-):-):-):-):-) me renew me :-):-):-):-):-):-):-) me renew me…

>> Pretty Pictures

What it is I often wonder
Turning you away.
Listen to that still small voice
Fade away.
You see only what you want to
Close your eyes and sleep.
You hear only what you want to
Clinging to your lies.
You and I we see things different now
You and I we see things differently.
Close your mouth your words are stolen
Heard them all before
Speaking truths you've long forgotten
Falling to the floor.
I can see everything now that you're so blinded
I can see everything now that it's all clear.

>> She Cries

Won't you come away with me tonight?
We can fly past the moon and the starlight
It doesn't matter where you've been before
On a night like this
It doesn't matter where you've been before
I'll love you like this
Can't you see I won't leave
But you have to open your eyes.
Here I stand Take my hand
Let go of the fear that you hold.
Don't throw your pearls to the swine tonight
Don't let them take your innocence
Just remember the times that I held your hand and kept you close
Remember the times I held you up and now.

>> Superstar

I just got to know
What it is you see.
Is it something different?
Is it something sacred?
Throw away the outside
Take away the fear
I'll just wait here quietly.
Yet know matter
What they do never let them take what you have
What they say never going change who you are.
Try to hide pain
Smiling on the outside
Fighting desperation.
Is it something Deadly?
Anybody listing?
Anybody hear?
Show the world your brokenness.
Faceless words rush like wind
Guard my broken thoughts to heal
Emotionless to fields I fly
Smashing through these panes to rest.

>> Breathe

Breathe on me
Just another punk coming straight out of O.C.
Yeah you don't know me but I sure aint no croney
Bringin a style that's fresh and new
Giving all the praise to the one that's true.
If you got ears to hear you better open them
Bringing the faith and the love and the hope to them.
All. All around the world as we cry…
Oh wont you breathe on me…
Breathe on me
Justified and we're free you know we hit straight
Aint no reason to lie it's all about a clean slate
But still we see times that are hard
Sticking to lines that are faded and scared.
So we press on never turning around no need to
look back when there's nothing but ground. As we
Wait for you to bring us alive.
Oh wont you breathe on us.

>> Let You Go

Standing waiting for this moment to end
I can't believe it's finally here.
We said that kiss would be a promise forever
and I can't believe you're going away.
Got to let you go
Just like we always said.
Got to let you go
Just like we said before.
My mind is filled with these memories of you
Your smile deep inside my tears
I wonder if there are roses in heaven
and I wish that I could hold you right here.
And when I start to dream
It's your face that I see
And when I breathe…
Through the years
We shared the tears
That freed us from the yesteryears
We made the sacrifice of time
But never feeling left behind
Standing in the pouring rain
I promise I won't cry again
I know we'll be together soon.
