-Embers-

I left it all behind.
Destroyed the message.
I left it all behind.
Never scoping it out from my own perspective.
I left it all behind.
Every time I start over my heart feels colder.

There's nothing left inside, I guess that's what it feels like.
What it feels like to grow older.

Dismembered every emotion that died with the past.
I can't fill all the blank spaces.

We were lost and I swear I couldn't find your traces.
We've been distant but so close, it burns.
Departing embers, but still burning forever.

I will never see my own life the same again!
I will never see my own life the same again!

-In Perspective-

We're feeding our fears,
Denying failure when it's crystal fucking clear.
So you poison their minds.
Watch them paralyzed.
Running in circles to the finish line.

We all have different views and the ones in between.
Because our heads are underneath
A heavy weight of our reasoning.
Tied between wishful thinking and struck constantly
With fears that we will all die someday.
Some day!

We give our faith
So we can be kept safe.

Not wanting to expire without making a dent
Or thinking afterwards that you can see old faces again.
Without making a dent...
I'll never see those old faces again.

I took one last look.

Focus on the life set in front of you.
Everyday change makes me reevaluate my attitude.
Try harder than the person standing next to you
'Cause selection of the best
Brings down the hope we thought would get us through.

Never settle for anything less than what you reserved.
The past defines you, but not what you can do
'Cause change is all we need to grasp the future we strive for.
And pushing ourselves there is something I would die for.
It's something I would die for.

-Repetition Of History-

The demonstrations
that we set are engraved forever,
The tole our minds take from such little demeanor.
Don't let difference be a reason for hatred,
Disabled thoughts of a failed evolution.

The fear has settled in the back of our heads,
And we can't seem to process what we're setting loose.
Divided thoughts bring back the difference we hate,
And short term thinking leaves no time to relate.

Now the time is running out, morality's on its last leg.
I resent your decisions and hope you find some remorse in your mistakes.
Inevitable by default we have put ourselves here.

Irrationality flowing through the roots,
Killing off the people you have used.
The people that you raised,
To a tunnel visioned future that there would be better days.

The repetition of history,
That we have not learned.
Taught me to dig deeper, to find the hidden truth.
Corrupted from our births,
Defected without choice.
If it's my life you want, I'll show you what I'm really worth.

I only see illness, there's no love to take.
From your fucked up faith, that tried to set us in place.

Another sick mindset of the human race.

-Hear Me Out-

I had a vision of what life could be,
And it will never be.
I had potential hidden deep in me,
But I was raised with a lie.
You'll never fix me, I'll never let you in.
I died along with my dreams
So don't relieve me of anything.

Ignore the facts before your eyes.
You have rejected every chance you get to breath in new life.
You just force a message down my throat
That you can't even explain.

When I prove my point again
You fail to recognize where my conscious lays.
Realize beliefs are not reality.
Fail to recognize...
Realize that beliefs are not reality.

I spent everyday, every second
Pondering about a plan that will never drill
Through your bulletproof skull.

I waste my time casting out my own good.
There's no point standing in the holes where hope stood.
I waste my time casting out my own good.
There's no point in standing in the holes where hope stood.

Glorify the absence of sanity.
Relieving your pain?
Or are you putting your own faith to vain?
Are you putting your own faith to vain?

-Novak-

Our fragile minds were sheltered off
To hide from our shadowing vice.
I took it for granted.
How easily it slipped from our sight.

I always see it in your eyes.
You wished you chased your ambitions,
But you fell apart.
After you left I ran away,
But I will never find a safe place
To escape these days.

I'm so fucked.

When I see your face now,
It reminds me that we both had dreams,
And even if you can't live free,
I will walk into the dark until I find your light
To bring back home with me.

Living on through hope and misery.
I will set you free.

I know you're drenched in empathy,
I'm struggling to feel anything.
The storm made me close my eyes,
You weren't yourself anymore,
You didn't expect to be left dry,
And I regret trailing you from behind.

I keep running into closed doors
Hoping to open one and find you in my life.
The flame you left in me is stronger than before.
You're burning me alive.

When your heart shines so will mine.

-Lifeless-

I would give up everything
to make you feel safe,
Sometimes only words can make you feel this way.
We need a voice to impact what we are today,
I'm standing here 'cause there's a lot I need to say.

We live for greed.
We are the hand that causes violence.
We aren't grateful for our lives.
We'll live our whole life in denial.

I see them lost in vague direction everything is a blur.
I want to clear things up to them, so they know for sure
There's a road to follow; I know. I've been there before.
Follow down this path and I will take you home.

As life goes on we will only get worse.
The clocks running out and we stand by and watch.
If there's no time left, then there can be no change.
We'll sit and we'll burn and do nothing but wait.

What the fuck!

I see them lost in vague direction, everything's a blur.
I want to clear things up to them, so they know for sure
There's a road to follow; I know, I've been there before.
Follow me down this path and I will take you home.

-Gray-

I'm back again at the start of it all.
I can't seem to find the end.
All the things I used to have and everything I used to love,
I watched them fade.

Everyone I knew and everything that they taught me
Has made me gray.
There's no motivation in me, no fire in my chest.
You took it all, you took it all.
Where's my recollection of that feeling,
I feel like it's been gone for too long.
Can't it just take me away, and clear up my head?
So I can stop this decay.

All these gold linings are a reminder
Of the ground that I don't walk on.
Shattered bones and mountains to climb,
But there's no path to follow from the trails of the hollow.

The fabrication of this life hasn't let the light bleed through,
But bleed me instead.
It hasn't let the light bleed through.
It's bleeding me from the inside.

There's a gap inside that can stretch for miles
All my choices at each edge.
But I am lost within their depth.

It seems I pushed myself too far and now
The soul that gave me life is deposit in the ground.
Fuck!

All these gold linings are a reminder
Of the ground that I don't walk on.
Shattered bones and mountains to climb,
But there's no path to follow from the trails of the hollow.

-Wasteland-

They've lied a
thousand times to make us feel like we belong,
When we should have the choice of where our actions cross.
It's not fucking drawn. There's no freedom in this cage we built.
So stop acting like it's worth it when you see the blood they spilt.

I should've seen this coming,
I guess we've gone too far.
It's gone. It's gone. That's easy to see,
But we keep living on in our own make believe.
We'll finish what you started,

Don't waste another day.
Buried beneath their intentions,
Unaware of what the actions made weigh.

It's just a memory of a place.
Get up!

I can't lay my head at night and not be afraid
Of losing a friend; losing a love.
It's hard to see the best of this place
And deep down we all know it's too late to make change.

There's still a solace of light
That will make you glimpse away
From this golden plated mess we made,
Where everything entitled to you doesn't mean a thing.
I remember life was serial to see.
Now I try to capture every image in my head
How it used to be;
The moments where I felt a sign of positivity.
But now all the morals I had are gone.

I should've seen this coming,
I guess we've gone too far.
It's gone. It's gone. That's easy to see,
But we keep living on in our own make believe.
We'll finish what you started,
Don't waste another day.

Buried beneath their intentions,
Unaware of what the actions made weigh.

Not even God can save us!

-The Nasty J-

I've pushed away every
part of me that ever tried to care,
'Cause living in this place can get inside your head
And tear you from what you were, from who you are, to just a pawn.

Moving in one direction is starting to drag on.

I am afflicted by the ones who took away my love for this place.
I only see hollow skies and rumors we can't trace, we can't erase.

But I'm not trying to hide,
I've just been peeling off dead skin.
The space between sanity and losing my mind
Is just so thin.

It's hard to break off old habits and let them all die,
'Cause we both know
I was never good with goodbyes.
So goodbye!

Every fiber of my being is disgusted to see,
Such a tragic fucking ending this world turned out to be,
Every fiber of my being is disgusted to see,
Such a tragic fucking ending this world turned out to be.

Maybe I can try to get past this,
But I'm so washed up, I can't seem to fight it.
I know it's not to late to change my ways,
To leave this place, and stay the fuck away.

Throw it all away!
If you think its worth it, throw it all away!
I can't believe it's worth it.

-Searching For Defeat-

If you can't stand to see me happy,
I'm sorry I ever came.
I'm here to ruin your life anyways.
I'm here to ruin your life anyways.

If the walls we built come down one day,
Is it because you suppressed me!

How can they say I should've held on?
That this is all just in my head.
Am I too blind to see the things I lost?
I think I'm losing it again.

I think I'm losing it again.

Don't forgive me. Just forget me.
The road I paved is out to get me.
Every second's always filled with doubt
You made me feel casted out,

Now I can't get that feeling out.
I'll keep collecting my thoughts
And proving you wrong.

The force that cripples you and me isn't our defeat.
The force that cripples you and me isn't our defeat.
I still believe
The force that cripples you and me isn't our defeat.

How can they say I should've held on?
That this is all just in my head.
Am I too blind to see the things I lost?
I think I'm losing it again.
I thought God would save me,
But you were there instead.

Challenging me to move on;
To pick up this cold soul
and breathe in life again.

To think that this whole time...
I just needed to think. I just needed to think.
I just needed to think for myself.
