1. The Last Chain
I thought them free these highs of mine
But there’s a price to pay
That bides its time
I am only what I can be
You don’t understand me
Pull the darkness tight around
See the barcode on my neck here
It’s the same as last year
I am not my own
I am the last chain that fills your mind
Flows through your veins
I am the white line you dared to cross
For the last time
Addiction slowly wrapped around
The place I once thought solid ground
And now my highs just bring me down
I try to scream but I can’t make a sound
I am only what I can be
You don’t understand me
Pull the darkness tight around
See the barcode on my neck here
It’s the same as last year
I am not my own
I am the last chain that fills your mind
Flows through your veins
I am the white line you dared to cross
For the last time
I am only what I can be
You don’t understand me
Pull the darkness tight around
See the barcode on my neck here
It’s the same as last year
I am not my own
I am the last chain that fills your mind
Flows through your veins
I am the white line you dared to cross
For the last time
2. A Quarter To Heaven
I was breathing far too slow
My mind was racing but my heart didn’t know
Too late, maybe, is this the end
White light above me, shall we begin
Shall we begin?
Falling asleep, asleep at the wheel
Don’t even cry out, you won’t even feel it
Running too fast, fall over the edge
Maybe this is better, all I see is red
All I see is red
Falling down back to earth
Falling down back to earth
You got me breathing in
You got me breathing again
You got me breathing in
You got me
The clock on the wall has struck once again
A quarter to heaven is just not the same
I just rub my eyes, I feel like I’m blind
While I have been dreaming, I’ve lost all this time
Break in the day – sitting alone
Watching the people breaking their bones
Hell is on Earth – you see every day
That all of these people are running away
Falling down back to earth
Falling down back to earth
You got me breathing in
You got me breathing again
You got me breathing in
You got me
I was breathing far too slow
My mind was racing but my heart didn’t know
Too late, maybe, is this the end
White light above me, shall we begin
Falling down back to earth
Falling down back to earth
You got me breathing in
You got me breathing again
You got me breathing in
You got me
3. Rain
Yeah you, you’re shining like the sun
Changes like the wind and the weather
Yeah you, you come on like the rain
Like a hurricane, hell for leather
You know, you let the fun, the shining sun
Always passes you by
Tomorrow never comes for those who run
Look to the sky
Rain, look at the rain
Yeah you, your life has just begun
Just oblivion is what you need
Yeah you, you drink a poison cup
When your time is up, you are on your knees
You know, you let the fun, the shining sun
Always passes you by
Tomorrow never comes for those who run
Look to the sky
Rain, look at the rain
You know, you let the fun, the shining sun
Always passes you by
Tomorrow never comes for those who run
Look to the sky
Look at the rain
Look at the rain
Look at the rain
Look at the rain
4. Believe
Jesus Christ in porcelain
Wrapped in silver paper
Put him on the mantelpiece
An ornamental savior
Find a reason to believe
Say your prayers at night
Keep those nightmares from your door
Hold onto the light
Searching through emptiness
Can’t find your way
A long way from Heaven
With nothing to say
How can I believe?
When I don’t understand
How the faith of one of your children
Can be so easily damned
Convenience is your main theme
You pray when the money is tight
Your God is kind, he understands
That you only pray when you fight
Searching through emptiness
Can’t find your way
A long way from Heaven
With nothing to say
How can I believe?
When I don’t understand
How the faith of one of your children
Can be so easily damned
How can I believe?
When I don’t understand
How the faith of one of your children
Can be so easily damned
Searching through emptiness
Can’t find your way
A long way from Heaven
With nothing to say
How can I believe?
When I don’t understand
How the faith of one of your children
Can be so easily damned
How can I believe?
When I don’t understand
How the faith of one of your children
Can be so easily damned
It’s make-believe
It’s make-believe
It’s make-believe
It’s make-believe
5. With You Again
Remember my father, he stood against the tide
He loved with laughter, his hope never died
I feel the anger, filled the place I run
Ignore the danger of losing everyone
And I won’t make a sound
If I could be there again
And I won’t make a sound
If I could be with you again
Forever with me, locked up inside my mind
The pain in your eyes that I cannot deny
I paint a picture, a dreamscape in my mind
Where I am with you, and feeling strong inside
And I won’t make a sound
If I could be there again
And I won’t make a sound
If I could be with you again
And I won’t make a sound
If I could be there again
And I won’t make a sound
If I could be with you again
6. Into The Black
I was afraid to be left all alone
Even my dreams did not seem like my own
Scared of my shadow, afraid of attack
Out of the blue light and into the black
Love is a dark place where you run away from me
Blinded by your face, I can’t run away from you
The silence, it keeps on confusing my mind
Remembering faces from another time
Stealing a kiss from an old photograph
Why can’t my memories stay in the past?
Love is a dark place where you run away from me
Blinded by your face, I can’t run away from you Falling towards the dark depths of the lake
Hands reaching out for the life that you take
Desperate to feel the strong pull of the tide
Knowing that somewhere a part of me died
Love is a dark place where you run away from me
Blinded by your face, I can’t run away from you
Yeah, I’m falling out of the blue sky and into the black
Yeah, I’m falling out of the blue sky and into the black
Love is a dark place, out of the blue and into the black
7. No Loss To Me
Skies on fire – those tears aren’t mine
Dreams are gone – they saved no one
Don’t blame me ‘cause I don’t feel
You can see the way we are
Yeah, we don’t know we’re blind
You can see how lost we are
Yeah, life is so unkind
Hey – no loss to me
Hey – no loss to me
We feed the flames – we greed again
A darkness made from endless pain
You can see the way we are
Yeah, we don’t know we’re blind
You can see how lost we are
Yeah, life is so unkind
Hey – no loss to me
Hey – no loss to me
You can see the way we are
Yeah, we don’t know we’re blind
You can see how lost we are
Yeah, life is so unkind
Hey – no loss to me
Hey – no loss to me
8. Underground
Sometimes I feel like a Mother Nature’s restless child
You beg and steal, along the way you lose your pride
You make a deal, as poison ivy grows inside
Life ain’t easy for a Mother Nature’s restless child
You make deal, a bargain that will compromise you
So unreal, no rhyme or reason stops you feeling
Can’t break these chains, they hold down, destroy your pride
Life ain’t easy for a Mother Nature’s restless child
Feed another child to the machine
Poison other minds and wash your hands clean
Watch another mind get left behind
Make of Mother Nature’s restless child
Where you going now – wasting your tomorrow’s
Are you up or down – or are you underground?
Where you going now – life ain’t yours to borrow
Are you up or down – or are you underground?
You hide your time, you pay the price, you crossed the line
Life ain’t easy ‘cause underground, the sun don’t shine
Feed another child to the machine
Poison other minds and wash your hands clean
Watch another mind get left behind
Nothing ever grows with the light
Where you going now – wasting your tomorrow’s
Are you up or down – or are you underground?
Where you going now – life ain’t yours to borrow
Are you up or down – or are you underground?
Where you going now – wasting your tomorrow’s
Are you up or down – or are you underground?
Where you going now – life ain’t yours to borrow
Are you up or down – or are you underground?
9. Welcome To The World
Welcome to the world we live
Quick to blame but you never give
Greed is good and you count every dime
Can’t buy me love if you ain’t got the time
Welcome the this world we live
Quick to blame but you never give
Round and round and around we go
Playing God is a one-man show
Fly high on your way to paradise
As you lie to my face through your disguise
Steal the dreams from the world you hate
No turning back ‘cause it’s much too late
Tell yourself that you’re just a man
Feel the power slip right through your hands
Fly high on your way to paradise
As you lie to my face through your disguise
Fly high on your way to paradise
As you lie to my face through your disguise
Well, I’m searching, searching for a remedy
Look around, I can’t find it here
Searching, searching for a remedy
Well, I’m searching, searching for a remedy
Look around, I can’t find it here
Searching, searching for a remedy
Welcome to the end of time
Now your greed is as weak as mine
Can’t hold back the returning tide
Money can’t keep your soul alive
Fly high on your way to paradise
As you lie to my face through your disguise
Fly high on your way to paradise
As you lie to my face through your disguise
10. Something Real
I ran the longest mile for you, I can be sure
The strength I once held in my hand
Has now long gone
Do anything for you
You made me leave
Inside my mind, you’ll find
The way to make you see
The sight and sound of blackness
Turns the light to shade
And so emptied of feeling, I turn my face away
Do anything for you
You made me leave
Inside my mind, you’ll find
The way to make you see
So unreal, it’s in the way you feel
You know you can’t conceal
You want something real
You try, you can’t be denied
Of the way we feel
You want something real
I ran the longest mile for you, I can be sure
The strength I once held in my hand
Has now long gone
Do anything for you
You made me leave
Inside my mind, you’ll find
The way to make you see
So unreal, it’s in the way you feel
You know you can’t conceal
You want something real
You try, you can’t be denied
Of the way we feel
You want something real
11. Innocence
Time has
Time has come to lay my burden down
It’s too much for my shoulders
Easy
Easy to see clearly now that I have come here
And I’m older
Evil
Evil is the hold you had on me
Sickly sweet did your words flow
Angels
Angels must be whispering in my ear
Time to turn from my shadow
Oh – I keep running
Just don’t want to face what’s been coming
I lied about my innocence
And who will come to my defense
I lied about my innocence
There’s nothing left to say
There’s a debt I need to pay
Blinded
Blinded by denial of a world
Filled with shame, filled with hurting
Changing
Changing now the way I that I perceive
What is real, what is certain
Oh – I keep running
Just don’t want to face what’s been coming
I lied about my innocence
And who will come to my defense
I lied about my innocence
There’s nothing left to say
There’s a debt I need to pay
I lied about my innocence
And who will come to my defense
I lied about my innocence
There’s nothing left to say
There’s a debt I need to pay
12. I`m Alive
You make me believe that the poison
Is wrapped round my mind
And the way that you use me
It makes me turn cold right inside
When the pressure starts to flow
And the emptiness goes from my mind
I feel alive
And everything you don’t understand
And everything you try is underhand
I realize you can’t bring me down
I’m alive...
I’m alive...
I’m alive...
I’m alive...
The smoke in my eyes made me
Turn from the lies that you made
While you’ll never change
You won’t ever be the same again to me
When the pressure starts to flow
And the emptiness goes from my mind
I feel alive
And everything you don’t understand
And everything you try is underhand
I realize you can’t bring me down
And everything you don’t understand
And everything you try is underhand
I realize you can’t bring me down
I’m alive...
I’m alive...
I’m alive...
I’m alive...
13. Hypocrisy
Can you see the hypocrisy of living in the past?
You’re holding tight to a different light
And that it will never last
It’s the same, there ain’t nobody to blame
You can’t just remember the line
It’s a fear that there’s nobody near
To stop you, just wasting this time
Breaking down my energy, I can’t be alone
It’s so dark that I can’t see, I can’t be alone
Stop me now ‘cause I’m feeling that I can’t hold it together
I don’t know
Break me down, I can’t stop the empty feeling in my mind
In my mind
Can you see the hypocrisy that’s cried out in our tears?
We feed the lies that are yours and mine
As they grow throughout the years
It’s a crime that time after time, we pull ourselves away
From a life that just can’t be right with nobody to blame
Breaking down my energy, I can’t be alone
It’s so dark that I can’t see, I can’t be alone
Stop me now ‘cause I’m feeling that I can’t hold it together
I don’t know
Break me down, I can’t stop the empty feeling in my mind
In my mind
Stop me now ‘cause I’m feeling that I can’t hold it together
I don’t know
Break me down, I can’t stop the empty feeling in my mind
In my mind
Breaking down my energy, I can’t be alone
It’s so dark that I can’t see, I can’t be alone
Stop me now ‘cause I’m feeling that I can’t hold it together
I don’t know
Break me down, I can’t stop the empty feeling in my mind
In my mind
Stop me now ‘cause I’m feeling that I can’t hold it together
I don’t know
Break me down, I can’t stop the empty feeling in my mind
In my mind
