-The Eternal Female-

I am the reaper.
I will be the demise of your reign.
I am the dark shadow where you hide.
Self-righteous fascist, you chase the sun.
Glory belongs to no man.

Crooked church, you sell the Son.
Thieves deserve to have no hands.
Our Prisons were built with the stones of law.
Whore houses are built with the bricks of religion.
Oh man of God from which was your stone.

I've stayed quiet for far too long.
Cause I've typecast myself to censor what I can say.
I'm so sick of this, sick of what's going on.
Now I'm putting to an end of my silence.
Your god's not real.

This is the end of my silence.
The wolf provides for his own but God provides for the lion.
I am the lion, you are the wolf.
You can run but I will find you.
I am the reaper.

-Sick Silent America-

We are the new free-thinkers.
My father gave me a brain.
My mother taught me to use it.
So swallow back all the vomit that you're spewing.
They're all buying it, but I'm not buying it.

You can't fool me anymore.
You are the curse.
Your false prophesies darken my eyes and break my back.
The heaven is born and hell revives.
As I walked along the flames of hell.

It became known to me.
That you are nothing but a wolf in priest's clothing.
They're are buying it, but I'm not buying it.

They cry, "Lead us, oh chosen one."
This is the death of faith and all that is good.

-Shiver-

Cheap steps make for easy
regrets but keep your words of contempt.
You are no friend, my enemy, you tear me down, keep me weak.
I wear no crown of weakness, His is no crown of weakness.
I wear no crown of weakness, hide in your own contempt.
Iron sharpen iron but your judgments dulling me.
I answer to no man.
You're no gods or masters of this world.
Maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe I'm damned.
I pray I don't wake up in hell.
If I were God we'd all be dead.
The devil's hands have been busy.
Grace sustains but I thirst for revenge.
The world would be destroyed if I were God.

Demons are fallen angels.
Remember that when you think of a saint.
Fallen angels I'm coming for your wings.
Fallen angels I'll cut off your wings.
Lord knows I'm a cynic but won't give up, won't give in.
Lord knows I'm a cynic but I won't give up without a fight.
The devil's hands have been busy.
Turning liars to masters, demons to gods.
But we're no gods, we're no masters.
We're only fallen angels in this world.

-Golden Barriers-

Fame is a lonely world.
Success has its enemies.
Look where it's gotten us.
Is this what we wanted.

It has nothing for me.
What can you offer a man.
That has nothing to lose.
I'm sick and tired of looking past the things you do.
I'm sick of sugar-coating everything I say.

Was it to good or evil that I sold my soul.
This is over my head, over your head, over my head anyway.
Life can truly begin.
When you have nothing to lose.
I have nothing to lose.
I fear no death and no pain.
I have nothing left to lose.

I'm not scared of you.
We will not be stopped.
You will not silence me.
We are the new torch runners.
We cannot be stopped.

-The Fall-

One foot in front of the other.
Fall in line.
Since day one this has been damned.
We blindly follow anything that we're shown.
Open your eyes.
This is a lie.

We're all living a lie.
Maybe we're the same, no but I despise you.
I know I'm nothing like you.
Since day one I knew this was wrong.
I'm no puppet, I dance for no one.
Open my eyes.
I refuse to live a lie.
I refuse to fall in line.
We're losing footholds.
We're losing our faith.
We're losing our futures.

We're losing our sanity.
I'm losing my foothold.
I'm losing my sanity.

-And Weep-

Your god is dead.
Your hands are soaked in blood.
You liar.
You're charged with death.
Murder of what's pure.

Perverted God for a fallen youth.
They'll follow every single word you say.
You're charged with death.
Sell you soul, sell your god.
Hide from all, who are you.

The taste of gold, tastes just like blood.
You murderer.
Killed all my hope.
Murdered everything.
Innocence lost.
There's no turning back.

I question every single word you say.
Now you'll never be able.
To buy back what you've lost.
Has it ever been worth it.
Will it ever be worth it for you.
One, eight, seven.
Murder in the first degree.

-Trembling Hands-

This is a song for those who've lost hope.
This is a song for those searching.
This is a song for those that question.
Question everyone, Question everything, and trust no one.
Everyone has a motive.

None of which are pure.
There are vipers.
They are liars.
There are vipers everywhere.
Waiting to prey on you.
Watch out for their poison.
They wait to devour you.
Don't be deceived.

Children watch your backs, the monster is coming.
Hide your soul, hold it tight.
There is a viper on the loose.
Follow no man's words because I know what man holds.
Follow the path of God because I know what man holds.

-Finite-

We're the ones you run to when
your world is crashing down.
This choice made years ago is such a heavy crown.
I didn't know it would be so hard.
That my words would mean so much.
I'm not your priest.
I'm not your prophet.

I'm not a saint.
I'm not god, so what now?
How did we all get here, and what did we do?
How can I lead you when I'm just as weak as you.
This was built on the backs of the
broken and it would be so hard.
That my words could hurt so much.

I am no leader but I won't give up on them.
I'm not your priest.
I'm not your prophet.
Open your eyes and see.
I'm not a saint.
I'm not a god.
Don't put your faith in me.

-The Jealous Wings-

Wading through the waters, slow and thick.
I am aware now.
They're not who they said they were.
Slipping on their words beneath the surface.

For what it's worth I know.
I am not the man you were.
I'm living in the shadows of intent and we're
all teeth in the wolf's mouth.
Risk and regret thrive tonight.
The masterminds of mud and mire.
Build your kingdoms up and when they fall.
We'll be watching every brick.

Speak with empty voices and knives of glass.
Easily we're broken.
Cause I believe the words that you speak but
never trust the lips that they are leaving.
For what it's worth we know.
We're not the men we were.
We're living in the shadows of intent.
We've all been teeth in the wolf's mouth.

-The New Born Wonder-

I'm lost without a sound but
I have ears to hear.
God, I'm weak and I'm tired and I want this
fighting in my head to stop.
They say hang it up young man.
They say hate only leaves you cold and alone.
I'm too jaded to care but too scared to run.
I let my apathy get the best of me.
Well, Jesus if you can heal, I have the ears to hear.
Sing a sweet song to my ear.
Cause I pray I haven't fallen too far my God if you can heal,
I have the ear to hear.

I'm not the same kid I used to be.
I'm not the man that I need to be.
Look at what I've become.
Look at what you've become.
Look at what we've become.
Look at what this has made me become.

-The Life-

Look at all of us running
Always behind, always late
We're always playing catch up
In this human race

All of these young men dying of old age
To feel alive could cost you everything
It's hard to hold onto your ideals
When you've lost your, when you've lost your innocence

When the dreams you've caught
Aren't the dreams you've chased
Now your hearts are bleeding
To keep this pace

The kid you were
Hates the man you became
You can't remember what you wanted
You just can't
Feel the same
Remember what you wanted
Remember what you chased

All of these young men dying of old age
To feel alive could cost you everything
It's hard to hold onto your ideals
When you've lost your, when you've lost your innocence

When the dreams you've caught
Aren't the dreams you've chased
Now your hearts are bleeding
To keep this pace

The kid you were
Hates the man you became
You can't remember what you wanted
You just can't
Feel the same
Look at all of us running
Always behind, always late
We're always playing catch up
In this human race

Remember what you chased

-Music City-

Music city never shines so bright
As the nights when coming home to those lights
All the cities, buildings, and bridges in this country
Can't compare to the love affair between you and me
I have traveled the whole world wide
And I can't find a better place to reside
Every single tour takes me kicking and screaming
Thirty hours from home, my Nashville heart's still beating
(this Nashville heart's still beating)

Take me back home to all the kids in R-town
Who know me for me
My heart's back in music city
Music city
Is where my heart beats
Music city
Is where my heart beats

Alert the skies as hell retreats
I'm saying goodbye to my apathy
To all the workers in this town
Losing their minds in this great modern hell

The ghosts have their guns and they will destroy
Buried under broken glass lays their promised threat

From Hollywood to Vancouver, Fridays mean hysteria
As wolverines break out
But tell Sophia and Alcina
We're still kicking it

Take me back home
Take me back home
Music city
Is where my heart beats
Music city
Is where my heart beats

-Heart Of A Child-

[feat. Chad Ruhlig of Legend]

With the heart of a child, my tainted eyes have
Not lost every ounce of innocence
I still fight to hold onto my youth
I won't give into death like you
Kingdom of youthful-minded
Positive but not innocent
We still fight to hold onto our youth
We won't give into death like you

We may have nothing to show
We may have nowhere to go
But with the heart of children
We need nothing

They say we've wasted our lives
They say we're wasting our time
But with the heart of children
We have everything

With the heart of a child
We will live forever
Children live forever

We won't be misled
We won't be misled
We won't be misled (by broken dreams of wealth)
We won't be misled

We will live forever
Children live forever
We will live forever
Children live forever

We are not a product of society
We are not a sick, dying breed
For the meek will inherit the earth
As the weak watches its riches burn

We may have nothing to show
We may have nowhere to go
But with the heart of children
We need nothing

They say we've wasted our lives
They say we're wasting our time
But with the heart of children
We have everything

Children live forever
Hallelujah
With the heart of a child we will live forever
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
With the heart of a child we will live forever

-Miss Fortune-

Dreams are the soul's misfortune
Meaningless and insecure
This heart could try and heal itself
But I've gone and lost the cure

-My Song-

[feat. Chad Johnson of Hundredth]

In the winter of 2010, I lost my mother
to the barrel of her loaded gun
Two weeks later my forgotten dad lost the
battle of his lifelong suicidal run

He was dead to me years ago
But losing her was an eternal blow
I've spoke in the past of the broken
But now I really know

If there's one thing I've learned: we're all put here to die
So why jump your turn?
I'm living day by day

There's strange comfort in apathy
I'm living day by day
There's strange comfort in apathy

Lay cold and alone in the ground
Will it be paradise or will you burn?
This is all a gamble
Until it's your turn

He was dead to me years ago
But losing her was an eternal blow
I've spoke in the past of the broken
But now I really know

Home is where the broken heart is
Home is where the broken heart is
Home is where the broken heart is
Home is where the broken heart is

Son to none
No home but the roads I roam
Son to none
No home but the roads I roam

Home is where the broken heart is
Home is where the broken heart is
We're all brokenhearted

-Skin & Bones-

These wheels are turning
in my head to slowly go
Where I'd rather be instead, laying low
Skin and bones, we know
Made of stone, move slow
Move slow

These are the days
Fear takes its hold around my throat
Lost is the chase
Giving in to distance left to go, to make it home

This heart is bleeding in my chest from letting go
(I just can't stop from needing)
Hope in a better place instead
Somewhere to grow
(I wish we could start leaving)
Hands and feet won't move
All these things we'll lose
We'll lose

These are the days
Fear takes its hold around my throat
Lost is the chase
Giving in to distance left to go, we can go home

-Room For The Dead-

There's a battle for my soul between God,
the devil, and rock 'n' roll
And when my head hits the sheets
my feet will hit the ground running to heaven
Before the devil knows I'm dead

This place is a waiting room
Hoarding the diseased, waiting their turn
Sicker and sicker I wait and wait
I feel my lungs becoming numb

This place is a deadly room, culturing disease, waiting to burn
Pacing and pacing I wait and wait
I feel my legs becoming numb

D-D-D-D-Doctor I've got this lump in my throat
It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth
There's voices inside my head, I need the medicine (I need the medicine)
D-D-D-D-Doctor I've got this lump in my throat
It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth
There's voices inside my head, I need the medicine (I need the medicine)

Who will win the battle for my soul between God,
the devil, and rock 'n' roll?
And when my head hits the sheets my feet
are tired of running (and running and running)

This place is a waiting room
Hoarding the diseased, waiting their turn
Sicker and sicker I wait and wait
I feel my lungs becoming numb

This place is a deadly room, culturing disease, waiting to burn
Pacing and pacing I wait and wait
I feel my legs becoming numb

D-D-D-D-Doctor I've got this lump in my throat
It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth
There's voices inside my head, I need the medicine (I need the medicine)
D-D-D-D-Doctor I've got this lump in my throat
It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth
There's voices inside my head, I need the medicine (I need the medicine)

Murdered or the murderers, we're all the same
Kingsmen or the poorly dressed, we're pawns in this game
Murdered or the murderers, we're all the same
Kingsmen or the poorly dressed, we're pawns in this game

D-D-D-D-Doctor I've got this lump in my throat
It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth
There's voices inside my head, I need the medicine (I need the medicine)
D-D-D-D-Doctor I've got this lump in my throat
It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth
There's voices inside my head, I need the medicine (I need the medicine

-A Fight For Peace-

Hell walks the earth, his name is pain
I swear to God I've seen him
He's no stranger to me, I know him well
I'll write your name into the stars

We all have hell at our backs ready to take us
Salvation for these many scars
We all have dreams at night we're scared to speak of

They say everything happens for a reason
And we all have purpose here
(Can you hear me?)
Can you tell me what this all means
And why, God, am I here?

We are all the same, we fight the same fight
With different faces in different places
Demons by other names, they haunt us at night
With different faces in different places

If all roads lead home, then home is pain
I swear to God I've been there
This place gets stranger by day
Am I in hell? (Am I in hell?)

You've taken this a step too far
We all have hell at our backs ready to take us
We need you staying where you are
We all have dreams at night we're scared to speak of

They say everything happens for a reason
And we all have purpose here
(Can you hear me?)
Can you tell me what this all means
And why, God, am I here?

We are all the same, we fight the same fight
With different faces in different places
Demons by other names, they haunt us at night
With different faces in different places

If all roads lead home, then home is pain
I swear to God I've been there
This place gets stranger by day
Am I in hell? (Am I in hell?)

We all fight for peace of mind
We all fight for peace of mind

-Hell At Our Backs-

We all have hell at our backs
Haunting our dreams
In the beds in which we weep
We all have hell at our backs
Haunting our dreams
In the beds in which we weep

-Words Misread-

My cynicism was never yours to boast
You've greatly missed the point of what was said
Instead of questioning them, you just followed me
Robots, zombies, cattle herded by others' words

It was never meant to be like this
Breeding your anger was not my intention
Though that be the case, I've made this bed
And now we all have to weep in it

Hate, dissension between brothers of the same
Words meant to provoke thought, misread instead
Was I even right in my accusations?
My words are a weak foundation for your war

Hate, dissension, war
Did I start this?
Hate, dissension, war
I can't stop this
I can't stop this

It was never meant to be like this
Breeding your anger was not my intention
Though that be the case, I've made this bed
And now we all have to weep in it

If the pen is stronger than the sword
We will end the world with screens and keyboards
If the pen is stronger than the sword
We will end the world with screens and keyboards
If the pen is stronger than the sword
We will end the world with screens and keyboards

-Hands & Feet-

Speak of regretting
and all the risk we take
Speak to the morning and when our eyes awake
The patterns are completing, the men they say we are
But as the sun is setting, I'll answer in the dark

When the world sings of all its trouble
And I hear all about its pain
I'll listen in, for its groans are not in vain

It's hard to remember how these dreams were made
When all the reasons and all the rules have changed
There's healing in His voice and freedom in The Name
But these misunderstandings we give up all the same

-Living The Dream-

Five years long
I've been running these open roads
Five years long
With no place to call home

Run away
From everything you've ever known
Run away
With no place to call home

Five years long
I've been running these open roads
Five years long
I have no place to call my home

Gain a friend, then I lose a friend
It doesn't matter 'cause tomorrow it will happen again
I'm losing touch with everyone at home
It's really hard when you're born, born to roam
Oh how I hate the line, "Outta sight, outta mind"
I'm on the search for the greenest grass that I will never find
Oh how I hate the line, "Outta sight, outta mind"
I'm on the search for the greenest grass that I will never find

I've run and run
I've drove and drove
Three hundred thousand miles of lonely roads
To see the ones I love at home
Move on and on without me, I'm just a memory

Is this the life I chose?
Have I chosen poorly?
Or has it chosen me?
Will it let me go now?
With action comes reaction
We're all a slave to something
Dreams aren't meant to be lonely
Will you answer me?
Is this heaven or hell?

Is this "living the dream"?
Or is this a living nightmare?

Five years long
I've been running these open roads
Five years long
With no place to call home

-The Death-

[feat. Chad Urich of Venia]

The world is on fire
And I've done nothing but watch it burn
The world is on fire
And soon it will take the last of us

I've heard it said before that boys play games and men live the truth
I've had it all wrong this whole time
because I thought it was all braun and brute
All these tattoos and all these miles haven't made me a man just yet
I'm nothing more than a frightened kid demanding undeserved respect

The world is on fire
The world is on fire

I've been thinking a lot these days:
What if hell's not all fire and devils?
All the stuff they taught us as children
just to keep us scared and wondering at night
What if we make our own hell every time we cause pain?
Every time we cause suffering there's hell on earth to pay

We are all murderers here
This is the life we chose, the life we lead
There's only one guarantee here
None of us deserves to be set free

We are all murderers here
This is the life we chose, the life we lead
There's only one guarantee here
None of us deserves to be set free

We are all murderers here
This is the life we chose, the life we lead
There's only one guarantee here
None of us deserves to be set free

We are all murderers here
This is the life we chose, the life we lead
There's only one guarantee here

-The Setting Sun-

I've seen my share
of heartache but I'm not the only one
My hopes and dreams are setting
They're setting with the sun
