1. I Thought I Knew You
This has nothing to do with morals or lifestyle. I'm not trying to criticize what you think is worthwhile. You don't have to agree with what I think or say. But I have to explain what I feel inside. Why?: Why did it change? Was it in vain? As you jump right into this game. A game that I refuse to change. Fake, you're all so fake, your choice to make, and yet you choose to be the same. And I refuse to play this game. Change the way you are to try to get a bit closer. Change your friends and blowing coke with all the other posers. Trying to be cool but I can see right through you. Try to make them like you in all that you do. Laugh at the blood of the innocent, Dance on the graves of the innocent. Caught in the crossfire. Is this all really worth it, to deny what's inside? Just to gain acceptance to what you know are lies. So you sell yourself out, ignore by getting high. Surrounded now by fake friends you have died.
2. Lost In Ourselves
Where are we at, apart from the truth lies what we have made. Create a farce in life to define as our own. Where are we at? Lost in ourselves. You make this place worse, multiply the hurt. Hedonism seems like priority. Set my soul ablaze ignite this place. Burning through my veins, catalyst of change. I feel betrayed, where are we at, lost in ourselves. Sick of enduring the pain and suffering of a world that is corrupt. Your time is over, you'll get what you deserve, and soon your life will suffocate. Your time is over, you'll get what you deserve and soon you will suffer. By fire. Set my soul ablaze.
3. Blood Is Screaming
Cut through the skin, rip through the veins, break through the bone to see a heart that's not there. In through the eyes, clouding the mind, despise inside, what you can't find your own soul. Bury the tears, silence the screams, waking the dead, again believe. Aren't you so sick playing this game? Life is to short, time for a change. Take one good look at who you are. Blood is screaming. Kill, we kill without reason. Fight, we fight without cause. Think, we ignore the answers. Lie, this lie goes on. Life ripped away. Pollute this day. Avenge in time. Bleeding me dry.
4. The Torrents of Perdition
The image it still haunts me, erase the memory I can not change the past, but I can change today. All the hopes turn to pieces unjust consistency, have no choice but to go on. Can't stop what' happening. Everything goes wrong around me - I will not give up. You laugh and point fingers and mock me - I will not give up. The trends change but you never will, you can't acknowledge a persons existence, strictly adhering to a uniform, accepting what they say without resistance. The torrents of perdition have assailed against me, and the ones I believed in have all truly failed me. Keep going, keep trying, keep fighting - I will not give up.
5. Running Red
Never force yourself to fit in, individuality is a virtue. Being yourself is hard, rise above when they hurt you. Just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean that you should do it. Paint the walls with your broken virginity, white houses run red with iniquity. There's no love in this selfish game, "Confusion and a little bit of pain." An underlying issue that we can't talk about. So we'll just march inline to afraid to get out. Just because everyone. Try to suppress what's inside, he doesn't care if you cry. Soak up the blood with the tears. Pressure building to comply, kill your body, kill your mind. Separate yourself from this, this is not what love is. Running Red. Betray your innocence to succumb to peer pressure. Do the things you don't want, it will not make things better.
6. Six Lives Left
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts, every night have sorrow in my heart. Be a light unto my eyes or I will sleep in death. And not be put to shame by those with excuse. Time to take my life and put it back on track. And take those toughest steps and erase my regret. This is not the person I am, but there's no reason why I'm not myself. When you love something with all your heart that you know you can never have. Hate. Fight; restore the life back in my lungs. Restore the truth unto my tongue. The best things you will ever have. Are the things you will never have.
7. Of Cold Breath
Upon the broken hopes and memories we pick up the pieces and love them directly. Ending a chapter that I don't want to end this way. Hold, hanging clinging to a faded moment. With a broken heart I have to do what is best. From the painful moments come to achievements of dreams. I did not let go I would not have seen. During the trail we never understand. But everything is better in the end. I believe the best times are yet to come. Only made possibly by a broken heart. The past is over, there is no looking back.
8. Fata Morgana
9. Jaws Forced Wide Open
Sick of trying to change your mind of how you view me. Letting it go, the way that I want to be viewed. Listen to your friends as they tell you how to live. Do not try to give a listen for yourself. Your - maxims are proverbs of ashes. Go - march along with all the masses. Different - uniform but still a robot. Hold - on to your trend that's all you got. Play from the heart, don't care what anyone else thinks. Bleed from the soul, the things I can't contain inside me. I'm not afraid of who I am or what I believe. Your are the exact thing that you say you're not. Behave like them adhere to their ways, regurgitating the fashion. Living a lie out to be seen, what would you do if they knew you? Jaws forced open. You don't know me, you can't judge me, soon you will see. I will prove you wrong.
10. The End
An outstretched arm, an uncondemning voice, pull me through this distorted noise. I hope you know what you meant to me. I'll hold onto your memory. It won't be all in vain. Falling off the path that I know I must walk. Deep within myself, this battle is fought. To regain what is lost, hope for the things not seen. To one day see your face starring back at me. Well done good and faithful servant, you have walked the path and remained fervent. Burned everything you've worked for. Ripped from your dearest loved one. Even death has not conquered you.
