1. Deviation
A mindset so unreal
The victory for your fears
I'm so unwelcome here,
A haven of mass-hysteria
Is this broken?
A wayward lie you live
Your life is broken
You'd rather take than give
And leave it open...
The path you seize in all your wasted years
Is so becoming darker now
Your eyes grow wide with fear...
The circumstance behind the chance you take
To realise it never ends
In ways you can't believe again
You walked away from all you were
In hopes of better days to come
You walked away from all you were
Now there's nowhere left to run
Your mindset so unreal,
A victory for your peers
I won't come closer,
Now that I've realised
Your life is broken.
You continue to persist,
"My life is broken."
And now you've lost your chance
To leave it open...
You walked away from all you were
In fear of bitter days to come
You walked away from all you were
In fear of better days to come
2. Solitary Comfort
3. Take Me Back
Her back is turned against the crowd
Wondering if her thoughts are allowed
She speaks in prayer and doesn't care
That all her concerns drift like air
I reach to her as she falls in shame
For in all her faith she can't sustain
So she looks at me with that hope in her eyes
And wonders if god can hear her cries
Take me back to the time when I was younger
Take me back to the time when I was stronger
Take me back to a time when I could feel
Take me back to the world I could believe in
An old man steps out upon a ledge
His sanity gone far beyond the edge
He speaks of a heaven far away in the sky
Beyond what imagination could devise
Though he wanted to feel, he wasted every year
Chasing demons and angels and blinded by tears
So he looks at me with that hope in his eyes
And wonders if god can hear his lies
Take me back to the time when I was younger
Take me back to the time when I was stronger
Take me back to a time I could feel
Take me back to the world I could believe in
4. Blameless
They stand and hope upon a thousand shores
You'll change the way we see forevermore...
Persuade them all, you cannot let them be
They must be sinners and they will never see
It's your intent to take them to the stars
I've only felt them die in my own heart
But you're blameless, can't you see?
Yet you're blameless just like me...
You think that cause I'm different, I must be wrong
I must be brought to christ, I must belong...
I want the chance to live my separate way
But you will be relentless until the day you die
And you're blameless, can't you see?
Yet you're blameless just like me...
5. The Elusion
Waiting for the day to close, wanting to reveal the unknown...
You ask that I would listen to you,
cause you think the answer lies within you.
Fragments of what yesterday would bring, you ask that I forget the suffering...
I didn't know it was so clear to you;
You think that he controls all your moves
"There's comfort in the world if you feel,
It doesn't matter if it isn't real..."
So I walk away from myself, walk into the way you want me to be
I can't explain the sense of belonging I feel and it's oh so serene
If I break the rules there's a price to pay,
but you won't let them take me away
You promise heaven, you promise all there is,
you say we'll stand with god embraced in infinite bliss
I step alone into the fire, crucify my own desires,
'cause I'm nothing and you will make me see
I will live by your own standards, cause I'm a fool
if I abandon what you've programmed me to feel
You rule the night, you rule the daylight,
cause everyone who 'feels' shares the same mind
You long for sorrow, you long for hate,
just more victims for your cruel, wasted faith.
...so don't open up your eyes, you might see it all like this.
Don't you open up your mind, for you will see it like it is.
6. Enchanted
7. Daybreak
You and I on different waves
We cannot be parted, but you cannot stay
I wish I had known you, but now it's too late
The daylight has faded and drowned in my wake
8. The Face Of Hope
9. Autumn Is Dead
It's autumn everywhere, but no one seems to care
And if you think about it, it might be fair
They say the nightmare's real, they say I shouldn't feel
Cause all these things about you just as well could disappear
But here we are again, here we are alone
And within this death there lays a hope
Here we are at last, here I am with you;
I'm starting to think it's all too soon
Cause the way that I dont know you, and the way that I move slowly
So the sky is turning darker, and my soul is drifting farther
I dont know what to do, I'm frightened by it too
And all your words can't make it better
I dont know what to say, I must say I'm afraid
And all your words don't make it better
Yet all the leaves that fall are dead, like the worries I once had
And everytime I speak your name, I can't help feeling all this shame
Though all the things I said are true, I can't help drifting far from you
I wish it could just stay the same, but so dies love when seasons change
I dont know what to say, dont know what to do
Cause everyone says I cant trust you
I dont know what to feel, I know that it's unreal
When all these things say I can't trust you.
I dont know what to feel, I dont know what to fear
I have no courage to speak of here
And no one understands, no one really cares
And I don't think it's ever fair
And all the leaves that fall are dead, like the worries I once had
And everytime I speak your name, I can't help feeling all this shame
Though all the things I said are true, I can't help drifting far from you
I wish it could just stay the same, but so dies love when seasons change
10. Slow Moments
The prisoners of untold guilt here, it is the state that I fear
In the waves of simple distrust, it is the voice that I hear
I can't surpass the dismal chances in a loveless romance
So let it be and disguise laughter, yeah take your final stance
There's knowledge everywhere, never mind the stares
Look to me and be yourself naturally
Slow moments in the sands, we'll visit other lands
Take a chance and see yourself naturally
Oh can't you see we're hoping the doors will stay left open
But I think with all this paranoia, minds will be frozen
Charities are often frequent, they are the nails in your hand
An empty voice, a hopeless martyr, into this hell we descend
I sympathise with your condition, I know I spoke too soon
But time is spent and I'm regretting the world you never knew
There's knowledge everywhere, upon a cross of cold despair
Look to me and plead yourself naturally
Slow moments in the sands, we cannot take a stand
Take a chance and leave yourself naturally
Oh can't you see we're hoping the doors will stay left open
But I know that time has passed and frozen
I know that I wanted you, I know that I needed you
But now I must leave you here...
I don't want to think of this, I don't want you think of you
But I cannot help it now, my true thoughts are not allowed
11. Alternative You
Tonight I dreamed of a reality that might be true
Tonight I dreamed of all my days and nights with only you
You said I should look to the stars and marvel at all that lays above
But I think your words were corrupted by love;
This is a peaceful night I swear...
Today I dreamed your words were true...
Today I searched for all the things I once admired in you
You say I should look to the heart, to the hopes, to the dreams
And the feelings inside...
But I think you're only telling lies;
And these are peaceful days I swear...
So my world is coming apart and I think I'm drowning in silence
And there is no prayer to find the answer
No, there is no chance.. It happened too fast
Tell me is this only how you seem, is this the only way you'll be;
Is this the way it's gonna stay? I wish there was another way...
Oh how I miss the days of winter,
How I miss the winter's song
And though I wish you were beside me
You're in my heart where you belong
Somewhere you're out there under the same sky
Somewhere you're out there not wondering why
I cannot forget you, but you'll never see
Cause you're not thinking about me
I'm dying inside but I finally feel alive
I'm dying inside and I'm finally feeling alive
The same sky, yet you're a lie...
Clouded by the tears of the loneliest cry
And you will never see me, no you will never see
How the warm sun bleeds into me,
Under blue skies...
12. The Obsidian Earth
