1. No One On The Other End
No One On The Other End
I have to do this now that we're even
And pray that I will leave you breathing
Don't turn your back to me
Have you forgot who brought you here?
Don't turn your back to me
You don't know the meaning of fear
This is the ending of an error
The ending of our time
I could paint the world with your life
So you'd forever be in mine
(Chorus)
Lied my way through another day
Can't stop what shatters where I stand
And you won't break my fall
I know I've spent all your worth
But hating you always came first
Can't believe what you swore to me
Deceit is what rings true
Can't believe what you swore to me
When my life depends on you
You don't deserve to walk away
You don't deserve to start brand new
Lifelines get cut short when I'm unable to refuse
(Chorus)
Bring the beatings
Each tear drowns aspiration
I've run out of excuses
Just let the curtains drop
Lied my way through another day
Nothing left of me to save
Can't stop what shatters where I stand
And you won't break my fall
Lied my way through another day
Another part of me died today
Can't stop what shatters where I stand
And you will suffer for this all
Trust me!
2. With A Heavy Heart
Time to take all my memories and bury them in the soil
Dig until I find the reasons I use disease and regret toys
That was the last time you'll look at me that way
That was the last time and I swear you'll regret the things you say
(Pre�chorus)
Now I'll take back my dignity
Prove my point for the whole world to see
Analyze my failures
One life, one heart and one bullet
I'll make my mark in a world that couldn't care less
(Chorus)
And with a heavy heart
I'll say these last words to you
And with a heavy heart
I'll take back what I know is true
And with a heavy heart
I hung my head and made my way
Towards justifying what I'll do today
Take you with me
Cross my heart and hope to die
No more mistakes
I�m cutting all the ties that bind
The future is clear, but there was never one
I prepared my noose long ago, this is just the outcome of damage done
Surrounded by pieces of the broken man I am
Faced with contradictions of everything I understand
That was the last time you'd look at me that way
That was the last time and I swore you'd regret the things you say
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Take you with me
Cross my heart and hope to die
No more mistakes
I�m cutting all the ties that bind
The future is clear, but there was never one
I prepared my noose long ago, this is just the outcome of damage done
3. Three Vs. Five
I've shut the last light out
Bathed all my hope in doubt
I won't be coming home tonight
Left behind all the good things
And focused on the fear you bring me
Ashes and degradation say I'm right
With my guard down I stood before you
I fell for those motions that only you could do
Nothing here ever shined as bright
And still I see your face in every mirrored glass
Each day more difficult than the last to move on
And all we have is this moment to dance
All we have is this moment to dance
Bring it back to where we were last
What does it mean?
If I'm striving to forget the years
If we've grown apart
Anything to take us back to the start
Manipulate words to go against what we've said
By the time you feel this I'll never be the same
We felt more than we should have let
Countless tears hidden by the rain
Imagine what we could have been but we never could allow
What some would dare to dream I knew it wasn't what it seemed
Happiness left and loss took its place
I can count the years by the lines in your face
Scars from a past I can't erase
4. Wasted On A Memory
I'm not like you and I'll never be
It's just so far beyond you where I am today
A weak beaten man is all I see
Along with your insults that cut into me
Blood wont determine my destiny
Or fear a life filled with regret
I'm so much more than you could ever be
And from me nothing is what you'll get I'll say
(Pre-Chorus)
I learned my lessons
Without your company
And your son, is what I'll never be
(Chorus)
So what are you hiding with your lying?
My life, wasted on a memory
With self doubting and self hating
Along with love you'd never send
Keep your back turned
Watched your bridges burn
We were never family
I should have known by the time bruises faded
You'd be home again
Slaughter my innocence
And watch your ego defend
A lifetime of silence and a mind set for violence
I see redemption coming my way
Bled my last vein and words can't make up for
A childhood thrown away
Neglect and abuse sculpted my world
So lets go back to the start
And you show me what was really in your heart
5. Even If
I should have seen there was nothing in this
The gifts we�ve given full of regret
And all the time I�ll never have again
Have the plan all etched out in my head
But what happens when these things are dead?
Questioning what�s real and pretend
(Pre-chorus)
Have to reach my shore
And hold on to what I adore
If I know what�s real
Why can�t I allow myself to feel?
(Chorus)
Even if the moment�s lost its grace
I�d still have nothing to explain
Even with my hands bound in disdain
I�d brave the sunrise for your ways
Forget this all
Tarnish beauty
Turn away
Cause I can�t be
That glimpse of me has left me wanting more
And I could never close that door
On what I�ve known and felt before
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Forget this all
Tarnish beauty
Turn away
Cause I can�t be
Nothing is what I believe
Chip away at the perfect things
Despite what this means to me
I know this can�t fly with broken wings
Holding on�
Stepping away�
Breathing in�
And being free�
How many times can I look at myself in disgust?
Second guessing all the trust
Just have to let my flaws and regrets rust
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Forget this all
Tarnish beauty
Turn away
Cause I can�t be
Nothing is what I believe
Chip away at the perfect things
Despite what this means to me
I know this can�t fly when broken
6. Themes Of A Promise
7. Everything To Me
The eyes of a realist can not be blinded
Crossing paths with the motives behind them
If memory serves you all discarded me
You're not my friend so don't pretend to be
The smell of vomit invades my dreams
A reminder of what I’ll always be
One who stands alone in the fight
Keeping victory in my sights
(Pre-chorus)
Trade my one ideal for a loss of faith
Memories again erased
(Chorus)
So let's line the way to happiness
And drown the pain
Look to this if nothing else
I'll remain the devil's advocate
(Breakdown)
As a child life died in front of me
20 years and still left with nothing
So what could you take from me?
With nothing to lose there's no grieving
In my eyes the world is a waste of life
You're all made of shit, not worth my time
A victim of sorrow all these years
A victim of all those i hate
One failure after another
The time has come to vindicate
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
8. Killing Rites
The mission is clear
To justify all the tears
Uncompromising values for a new world vision
Left alone to contemplate the years
Actions to serve as hands of a greater power
And pave the path to something higher
Dreams torn apart all left for waste
Highest good in all and fuck the rest
Precise aim and mark true
Mass destructions when the target is few
Final conflict of what's told
Words lost their meaning there is just one rite
Relentless force used
This is the killing rite
Pain for pleasure
To mend me together
Revenge is best served cold
Hate filled actions to heighten the attraction
A lifeless body the ultimate reward
My reward
Standing in the rain
Who would ever put it all together
What remains to be said of all we had?
A timeless solution to paradise' ills
More graves than arms to fill
Words lost their meaning, there is just one rite
Relentless force used
This is the Killing Rite
9. Someone New
he eyes of a realist can not be blinded
Crossing paths with the motives behind them
If memory serves you all discarded me
You're not my friend so don't pretend to be
The smell of vomit invades my dreams
A reminder of what I’ll always be
One who stands alone in the fight
Keeping victory in my sights
(Pre-chorus)
Trade my one ideal for a loss of faith
Memories again erased
(Chorus)
So let's line the way to happiness
And drown the pain
Look to this if nothing else
I'll remain the devil's advocate
(Breakdown)
As a child life died in front of me
20 years and still left with nothing
So what could you take from me?
With nothing to lose there's no grieving
In my eyes the world is a waste of life
You're all made of shit, not worth my time
A victim of sorrow all these years
A victim of all those i hate
One failure after another
The time has come to vindicate
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
10. In One Word
I'm the only reason you're alive
I'm the only reason you grew
You need me more than I need you
As selfish as this all may seem
Fact remains that I have left you behind
Even the best of things all end in time
Everything ends in time
(Pre-chorus)
You're nothing but a thief
You're nothing at all
Nothing at all
(Chorus)
In one word, In one move your fucking end will come
A violent tempest with an urge to kill
In one second this will all be done
I�ll be damned if I let this go
There aren�t words to express this anger
Reasoning will only take me so far
A burdened conscience is a weakened guard
When the flood gates break and the drowning begins
There won�t be a thing in this world that can save you
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
All Be Done
I�m far beyond forgive and forget
All I have is love for myself
And maybe that�s all I�ll really need
SO FUCK YOU!
When the flood gates break and the drowning begins
There won�t be a thing in this world that can save you
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
I'm all I'll ever need
So Fuck You
