Reach Out
04:50
|
|||
I’ve fallen off of this sinking ship
That I thought would last
I’m finally going down nature’s way
Just sink or swim
Reach out, reach out
Just sink or swim
Reach out, reach out
Oh why I never learned how
To make a man out of myself
Oh why I never learned how to swim
And as I sink slowly
Into the sea
All memory of greatness
Drowns in me
For once there’s nothing left to fall back on
But it’s not the end of you
I fear the weakness inside me has won
Remember, you’re stronger than you know
I’m falling apart
Oh my God
I can’t help but wonder if I’m meant to die
Just a scar on the earth
Just a shame in the books
Oh I can’t help but question why I’m even here
Have I lost my life or just my pride?
Did I really believe?
I’ve finally fallen off a selfish throne
That I thought would last...
Reach out, reach out
Just sink or swim
(I never learned how)
Reach out, reach out
Oh why I never thought to learn
To make a soul out of this shell
Oh why I never thought to learn to believe
I see my soul crumble
Before my eyes
The life in me is fading
Do I give in?
For once there’s nothing left to fall back on
But it’s not the end of you
I fear the weakness inside me has won
Remember, you’re stronger than you know
I’m falling apart
Oh my God
I can’t help but wonder if I’m meant to die
Just a scar on the earth
Just a shame in the books
Oh I can’t help but think of accepting the end
I’m falling apart
Oh my God
I can’t help but wonder if I’m meant to die
Just a scar on the earth
Just a shame in the books
Or if there’s another way out of this hell...

Chasing Paradise
04:05
|

Tangled in each other’s lives
Excitement running wild
Nothing means a thing to me
But the life inside your eyes
But if it’s so perfect and we’re living free
Why do we always have to feel like we’re under attack?
I may not be a perfect man
But I will find a way to fight on
Don’t go away
The night’s so cold and your heart’s so warm
Why do you always have to feel so far from me?
Come a little closer
Stay a little longer
I can make you feel alive
I can take the pain away
I could show you heaven
I’d face all your demons
We can take this world on together
I’ve tried a thousand times
To make sense of this force that’s pulling us apart
No end in sight
I won’t fight, I won’t hurt you
I don’t even have to see you
All I want is to know you’re here by my side
Don’t go away
Your life is here but your heart’s so far from me
Come a little closer
Stay a little longer
I can make you feel alive
I can take the pain away
I could show you heaven
I’d face all your demons
We can take this world on together
This life is ours
I caught a glimpse of paradise in your eyes
Everything we lack I know our future can hold
But I feel your heart drift out of my reach
I know this love is worth holding to the end
If you can find the strength to fight, I know we’ll make it through
Come a little closer
Stay a little longer
I can make you feel alive
And I’ll never leave your side
I would show you heaven
I’d face all your demons
We can take this world on together
You know this life is ours
You know I’ll never leave your side
You know we’ll never be alone
So don’t let us go down without a fight,
A final stand to keep this life, this love
This paradise we hold in our hearts

Letting Go
04:24
|
|||
To learn your strength
Will never be enough to keep
Your whole life intact
Is a deadly feeling
And yet to finally see the end
Of the single closest treasure you held
I give up, I am giving up
Oh it just rips you apart
It just rips you apart
I let go, I am letting go
And this void can never be filled again
I learned to live with your hope guiding me home
But now I’ve forgotten how to live
So caught up in your loneliness
So caught up in these walls
Darkness is your game
But it won’t be your escape
You only forget how to live
When you hide away from the light
I cannot breathe, I choke and bleed
Without you holding together my life
And holding back the pain
Now, now and again,
I follow this path of yours
This road that leads only deeper still
Inside my head
I give up, I am giving up
I give up, give up, we’re going to try it your way
And see, and see where it takes us
I let go, I am letting go
I let go, let go, and trust you as always
To do what you need
I learned to live with your hope guiding me home
But now I’ve forgotten how to live
So caught up in your loneliness
So caught up in these walls
Darkness is your game
But it won’t be your escape
You only forget how to live
When you hide away from the light
I cannot breathe, I choke and bleed
Without you holding together my life
And holding back the pain
So caught up in your loneliness
So caught up in these walls

For Eternity
03:48
|
|||
This paradox has possessed me for so long
The fight inside to find some meaning
When I am the only one I’ll ever trust to give me answers
My thoughts are all I’ve ever known or felt were real to me
This is an age of awakening and certainty
So why do I feel like I’m drowning in the past?
Must I now press onwards flowing with the current
Or is there more to life than I’ll ever know?
Searching for answers
Standing before you
Open your eyes to the
Hope that’s awaiting
Go on searching for eternity
I tried to run away
But I couldn’t go
I tried to run away
But I couldn't leave you
When I try to leave, a vision appears
Perpetual emptiness
When I try, I’m blinded for the first time
When I try and grow, I cannot see, it only blinds me
Searching for answers
Standing before you
Open your eyes to the
Hope that’s awaiting
Chaos haunts me for eternity
I tried to run away
But I couldn’t go
I tried to run away
But I couldn’t leave you
I couldn’t leave my heart at bay
While I swam out into the open sea
I found, to find my own answers
I’d be searching for eternity
The truth inside burns now even stronger
The search within has found an end and it can’t be vanquished
And I’ll never go back
To the hopeless, heartless search for eternity
I tried to run away
But I couldn’t go
I tried to run away
But I couldn’t leave you
I couldn’t even run
I couldn’t even leave your side
I tried, I tried, I tried to leave your side, I tried, I tried
But without you I just had no strength

Anything and Anyone
03:54
|

Caught up in this ritual
Of emptiness
Trying to conform their minds to yours
Where’s your heart?
Scorning the fallen
At every turn
Is it truthfully
So hard to see
That he who made everything
Really loves everyone?
He can work in anything
Anything and anyone
He who had everything
Gave it up to everyone
His love is found in anything
Anything and anyone
Everything you say and do
They adore
And every thought they try and make
You ignore
You can take their souls
But never mine
If this is how you get to heaven
Count me out
And still you justify your actions with a book, a code, meant to bring them guidance more than judgment
Don’t you see, don’t you know
The fate that you and they alike deserve
Don’t you see, don’t you know
The fate that you and they alike deserve to suffer
We all deserve to burn
You won’t save anyone
Caught up in this ritual
Of emptiness
Trying to conform their minds to yours
Where’s your heart?
Scorning the fallen
And playing the judge
Is it truthfully
So hard to see
That he who made everything
Really loves everyone?
He can work in anything
Anything and anyone
He who had everything
Gave it up to everyone
His love is found in anything
Anything and anyone
Well now I’m done, I’m done, I’m done with all the lies you sold
I’ve found, I’ve found another way to live
A life that’s not afraid to face the earth
With nothing more to protect ourselves but the truth we speak and the fire in our hearts
I’m done, I’m done with trying to judge the world
I’ve found, I’ve found another way to live
A life that’s not afraid to face the earth
With nothing more to protect ourselves but the truth we speak and the fire in our hearts
He who made everything
Really loves everyone
He can work in anything
Anything and anyone
He who had everything
Gave it up to everyone
His love is found in anything
Anything and anyone
And still you can’t even comprehend the fault in all your judgment through instruction and exclusion
Don’t you see, don’t you know
The fate that you and they alike deserve
Don’t you see, don’t you know
The fate that you and they alike deserve to suffer
You would just watch them burn

The Life You Left
04:11
|
|||
It’s a trial and a test every time you show your face
Every action a chance to catch a fault
And for all the years you’ve spent in trying,
No approval ever seems to come from this life of pain
This blackness in your heart, this house that’s not a home
Searching for an exit, hoping for a savior
But not the one that you’ve been taught to know
You know that there’s a better way
And yet you try to hide, to run away
Well you can’t beat the world if you’re scared to face it head on
You’ll never be alone no matter how you hide
You need to face your fears if you’re ever going to move on
The love is still alive in the life you left behind
You won’t break free by chasing a hope in vain
You’ll never reach the end of the hopeless quest you’ve started
There’s still an answer to your pain
For now you know there is
Still love in the life you left
Please come home
Still waiting with open arms
Won’t you come home?
And once again you turn your gaze
To the world, to the streets
Once again you’re left feeling empty
This time, no love is left to catch your fall, your pain
This darkness in your soul left turning to sadness
When your options crumble before you
Don’t you wind up asking yourself,
“Am I free?”
“Or is this a dream?”
Don’t you end up hurting yourself
When all you do is run away?
You can’t beat the world if you’re scared to face it head on
You’ll never be alone no matter how you hide
You need to face your fears if you’re ever going to move on
The love is still alive in the life you left behind
You won’t break free
You won’t break free
There’s still a way
For you know there always is
Still love in the life you left
Please come home
Still waiting with open arms
Won’t you come home?
There is a better way
There is a better way
There is a better way to escape the pain
There will always be love left to fall back on
You know that there’s still love in the life you left behind
You know there is
Still love in the life you left
Please come home
Still waiting with open arms
Won’t you come home?

ALACATAAD
02:36
|

So what do I say to emptiness?
How can I end hatefulness?
I’m caught in the center of a complex trap
No one can make it stop
No one but you
Still I hear inside
Your deceptive, lonely cry:
“Love me to the end, will you love me to the end?”
Words don’t make it true
Your sympathy, your poison
I’ve only sought to free myself
From your entrapment
Every day a new stage to fight
Still I hear inside
Your deceptive, lonely cry:
“Love me to the end, will you love me to the end?”
You will never replace what is lost
The passion is lost in hell
I wish I had a reason to trust the world
It’s just so hard to dodge the frauds and the liars
Still I hear inside
Your deceptive, lonely cry:
“Love me to the end, will you love me to the end?”
Your form is still inside my head
Every time I try to take a breath of the steely air
You will never replace what is lost
The passion is lost in hell

Ode to Billy
05:09
|

I remember the way
You burned us to the ground,
Ripped in two our hearts
But who am I to take a stand?
But who am I to change the course of history?
I see the flames already biting through our skin
I see a tomb with my name carved into the side
I, I just can’t stop
Confusions in time
Running heartlessly
For fighting won’t replace the endless flow
That you are taking part in
Fighting your own wishes
Oh I fear you’ll never even know...
You have a choice
You have a choice
You live, you die a part of the earth
It will not set you free
Warlords conquer all within their grasp
Nations turn to men abandoned
Every bond of kinship broken
Bloody conflict face to face
This is where we all break down
This is where we fall to our knees
If you still trust your flag, then show it
If you still are a man, then hide it
And when there’s nothing left
But shattered minds, broken hearts
Well then we’ll judge how meaningless it was
To value pride
Running heartlessly
For fighting won’t replace the endless flow
That you are taking part in
Fighting your own wishes
Oh I fear you’ll never even know...
You have a choice
Just to bite down, let them know how bitter
The taste of failure can become
From here, you have a choice
If you still trust your flag, then show it
If you still are a man, then hide it
I can feel your hands clawing
I can feel your teeth biting
I can feel your hands clawing

Incorruptible
03:04
|
|||
No, you won’t bring me down
With your lies and your shrouded deceit
You won’t bring down the incorruptible
You won’t take this crown
I won’t be dragged to the bottom of hell
You won’t break down the incorruptible
Your challenge is met
And everyone will know
You cannot meet me face to face
Don’t fall to the shadows when I’m testing your promise
Don’t fall, don’t fall
You will never be free from your own curse
No, you won’t bring me down
With your lies and your shrouded deceit
You won’t bring down the incorruptible
You won’t take this crown
I won’t be dragged to the bottom of hell
You won’t break down the incorruptible
Now your lies are wearing thin
Everyone will fall
But I will fight back to the end
You’ll never take my mind and you’ll never take my soul
You’re not my king
And I will never accept the curse you bring
No, you won’t bring me down
With your lies and your shrouded deceit
You won’t bring down the incorruptible
You won’t take this crown
I won’t be dragged to the bottom of hell
You won’t break down the incorruptible

The Last Voice
04:32
|
|||
When you can’t seem to find a way
To find any peace on planet earth
To live in a world that casts aside
Anything that contradicts convention
There will always be a voice
Left to fight against the rule of oppression
Tear out the chains that hold you down
Fight to be free to your beliefs
Look beyond the body’s pain
It’s not going to change your heart
Keep your enemies out of your mind
Lash out in rage when they torment you
No matter what they say or do
They’re never going to change your heart
They’re never going to change your heart
As long as you are sure of your own beliefs
An unwavering foundation
So I, I will fight for everyone that’s cast aside
And I, I will fight for every thought that brings you home
I, I will fight for everyone that’s cast aside
And I, I will fight for every thought that brings you home
There will always be a chance
To make a final stand
To fight the torment they send
And there will always be a voice
A final voice to knock them all away
Stand strong like it’s your final trial
Wait out the sorrow and you’ll prevail
If you see tests for what they really are
They never going to make you change
Fight off everything they said to you
Black out everything but your own soul
This could happen a thousand times
And still never change your heart
No matter what they say or do
Your heart is strong enough to fight
So don’t let them change you
So I, I will fight for everyone that’s cast aside
And I, I will fight for every thought that brings you home
I, I will fight for everyone that’s cast aside
And I, I will fight for every thought that brings you home
There will always be another way to live
There will always be a final voice to help you fight
They’re never going to change your heart
