1. Seemingly Endless Time
Drifting on an endless sea
On our way to nowhere
Oblivious to our destiny
Slowly drifting on and on and on
Wander far away too far
Trapped in a timeless void
Changing with the shifting wind
Never can see an end
It's a real vague story
Impossible to perceive
A seemingly endless time
Passing through eternity
Still devoid of meaning
Useless to inquire upon
The fate that we shall suffer on
Destitute still lost at sea
On the ship of sorrow
Past the point of no return
Today is merely yesterday's tomorrow
2. Stop
Stop! drifting fool
The truth I must bestow in you
Many times I've seen
Men as you then I smashed their dreams
Reason of no cause
Besides I myself set the laws
You won't be set free
From internal fears implanted by me
Feeding off his hand
As if he was your master
Serving his demand
I want to talk about it
I'll guide you only right
Yes my child to the light
Many seem to fear
What if their peers happen to hear
That he believes in the truth
Oh what a shame to rebellious youth
Take it from me
The cowards are those who cease to see
I can't tell you what to do
I can't tell you what to say
Only can advise you
Help you along the way
Smash the mental wall
That was forged in your brain
Tune into reality
And break free from the pain
Giving all possessions to just a name
Tune into reality a mortal human reigns
3. Veil of Deception
Affectation was an early sign
Of a twisted mind
All virtues had faded away
Apprehension made her cold
But warm she was inside
The child within her died
And left her with a heart of stone
Surface anger was a thin disguise
Yet at night she cries
Behold the pain in her eyes
Degradation was a grind
Her true self left behind
Compassion you will find
Hidden by a veil of deception
And so the story goes
That's the way she chose to live her life
And anybody knows
The way it feels when you hurt inside
She's running from herself
The game of life in which she played
Looking back upon the early years
There was room for tears
But she chose to push them away
Condemnation was a vice
She chose to roll the dice
And so she paid the price
Misery was her only friend
Inner feelings were a neutral zone
Though she tried to condone
In a world she faced so alone
Her salvation came too late
And on that day she died
No one even cried
Forgot about the veil of deception
And so the story goes
That's the way she chose to live her life
And anybody knows
The way it feels when your hurt inside
She's running from herself
The game of life in which she played
4. The Organization
Within the depths of darkness
Amidst the delusive fog
There waits a path to nowhere
Forthright be stepped upon
Walking through the heinous forest
The panic and rush of fright
She feels them coming nearer
Hereon will lead the rite
Shadows overwhelm her soul
Exceeding anxiety
Their shadows overtake her thoughts
Thick in obscurity
Organize to control
The power compels your soul
Organize to control
Speak the incantation
Follow the ordination
Enter the Organization
Convene outside the temple
Hear the responsive roar
The prayers of deprivation
Foretell what lies in store
Running from the grave believers
Try to evade the chase
They see she's growing weary
And now it is too late
Organize to control
The power compels your soul
Organize to control
Fall to your knees and crawl
Organize to control
The power compels your soul
Organize to control
Speak the incantation
Follow the ordination
Enter the Organization
5. Discontinued
Blurs of beauty have passed me by
Scenes have flashed inside my mind
Remembered places in memory alive
Forever moving onward
An endless space within you are
Black hopeless hole feelings are sparse
Seems your goal is gone devotion wanders far
Take a look back on your past
Happiness a feeling
So far surreal
Joy just a reflection
Of the fear you still feel
An aimless search through latent realms
The warmth is lost cold beings dead
Affection fatal love bonded to a bed
Release your inner self
Time is sacred until it ends
Never to stop so cleanse your head
Relax in peace I'll be happily content
Waiting to fulfil your fate
Happiness a feeling
So far surreal
Joy just a reflection
Of the fear you still feel
Joy just a reflection
Of the fear that you still feel
The conclusion
Provoke the end don't wait
Resolution
Do it now rearrange
Discontinue
And make...the change
6. A Room With a View
Sitting at the window staring down
Listen to the people shuffle around
Hear the children laughing
Feel the morning breeze
Sunlight warms his skin
The autumn air is taken in
A nearby bird sings its song for him
A room with a view
You're looking at him
He's looking through you
A room with a view
Who's fooling who
There's got to be something that he knew
So there he sits and some may wonder
About the sly grin on his face
Yet little do they know
(they don't have a clue)
The boundaries of his wisdom
In the solitude of his kingdom
7. Stagnant
I need someone to live for
Something to die for
Because this crazy life
Is getting to me
Don't want to play the part
Of a man with a broken heart
Somebody help me find a way
To release the aggression inside
It's so cold in this lonely room
Sitting around thinking of you
And I'm alone just talking to myself
Trying to find the answer but to no avail
Never moving
Never changing
Blank stares at the blank walls
Drill a deep hole in my empty soul
Never moving
Never changing
Life is just a game they say
And what if I don't want to play no more
Such a high price to pay
Come inside or get away from that door
We've got to make a change
We got to rearrange
Because this stagnant life
Is getting to me
Like a river must flow
It's time to let myself go
Nobody made me choose the life
I chose to live anyway
Forever moving
Forever changing
Blank stares at the blank walls
Drill a deep hole in my empty soul
Forever moving
Forever changing
8. EX-TC
Black covers the mass
The mist it's so dense
It's soothing to breathe
I reach out my hand
Into the sights
Yet I grasp nothing
All seems different to me
What I've seen before
Yearn for the feel
The warmth that's inside
A childish grin
I joyfully scream
To deafened ears
It's time to begin
All seems different to me
What I've seen before
Can't help but notice
Hidden feelings I had stored
You stare at me
As if I am strange
My eyes open wide
I feel the beauty
Of all around
Then run through the tides
Come into my place
There is great pleasure
In what you will find
I throw away hate
That's how you tell
X is on my mind
9. Disturbing the Peace
Well I can't get it off my mind
Said I just can't seem to leave it behind
And it haunts me 'til this very day
And I don't think it's ever gonna go away
Cause the people yes the common people
They be knowing this shit is real
Having a good time
Ain't committing no crime
Innocent victims
Pushed to the red line
We'll put you people into a line
Interrogate you mind rape you one at a time
Don't say a word shut up and obey
Your opinion doesn't matter to us anyway
Cause the more that you resist
Is the quicker you make the list
Making your own choice
Playing with the big boys
Pushing us too far
Gonna make a lot of noise
So don't forget the day
The people had something to say
Retribution is underway
Disturbing the peace
10. Falling Asleep
I'm not sure what's going on
Can't seem to cope I've gone beyond
Sense to me is obsolete
Can find a strength in a brief retreat
Sights and sounds they start to blur
These circumstances do occur
There's no hope I'm going down
Won't be long until I kiss the ground
I'm falling out
There's no lasting
Rock a bye baby
In your deep thoughts
When the night wind blows
It's time to rock
A life with no breaks
The child will fall
Down will come baby
No one cares at all
I'm not sure just what to do
Not up to me not up to you
Always been a different breed
Something like unplanted seed
Sorry but I just can't cope
It's not my fault but there's no hope
I shall not cry I will not weep
Just drift into eternal sleep
