1. Prelude
2. Plaguing Words
Music & Lyrics by Josh Carney
I've journeyed through these tired years just waiting for a sign
To justify my righteousness and to forfeit what is mine.
Now every time you interfere I feel so left behind.
I'm soaring through this empty void. I've got nothing left to hide.
Through every voice I lie and every pain I cry.
Through every single solitary word that I defy -- I die.
I hear your voice inside my brain.
I feel you take away my pain.
Your plaguing words have held so true.
I'm still not sure what I should do.
You've stripped away my battered shell.
You've locked me in your torture cell.
Your plaguing words have held so true.
I'm still not sure what I should do.
I've wandered through these lifeless days just praying for an end
To drown away my consciousness and allow me to pretend
That every word from my mouth has been true up to this day.
I'm soaring through this empty void. I've got nothing left to say.
Through every voice I lie and every pain I cry.
Through every single solitary word that I defy -- I die.
I hear your voice inside my brain.
I feel you take away my pain.
Your plaguing words have held so true.
I'm still not sure what I should do.
You've stripped away my battered shell.
You've locked me in your torture cell.
Your plaguing words have held so true.
I'm still not sure what I should do.
I can sense the beast in me.
I can taste what you can see.
Something's burning out of me.
I can sense the beast in me.
I can taste what you can see.
Something's burning out of me.
I hear your voice inside my brain.
I feel you take away my pain.
Your plaguing words have held so true.
I'm still not sure what I should do.
You lift me high but pull me down.
You've dragged my corpse across the ground
Just to see if my pain is true.
I'm still not sure what I should do.
3. Cold and Lifeless
Music & Lyrics by Josh Carney
I've lived to die. (I've lived to die.)
I've tried to hide. (I've tried to hide.)
I've lost my stepping stone to help me fall.
I've lost my sight. (I've lost my sight.)
I've tried to thrive. (I've tried to thrive.)
I'm just not looking back to brace my fall.
I've got nothing left to live for.
I've got no time left to share.
I've got nothing left to live for
Cause without you I'm cold and lifeless.
I'm cold and lifeless.
I've seized the day (I've seized the day)
Just to lose my way. (To lose my way.)
I've lost my stepping stone to help me fall.
I've got nothing left to live for.
I've got no time left to share.
I've got nothing left to live for
Cause without you I'm cold and lifeless.
I'm cold and lifeless.
I've got nothing left to live for.
I've got no time left to share.
I've got nothing left to live for
Cause without you I'm cold and lifeless.
I'm cold and lifeless.
4. Inner Lies
Music & Lyrics by Josh Carney
For every time I've looked away
And every time I've hid my face
And every time I've lost my faith
I've turned around and changed my ways.
Now every time you look at me I find a new way to believe.
You've found my deep disguise.
You've heard my inner lies.
You've found my deep disguise.
You've heard my inner lies.
For all the times I've felt disgraced
And all the times I've blessed the day
And all the times I've kneeled and prayed
I've turned around and faced my pain.
Now every time you look at me I find a new way to believe.
You've found my deep disguise.
You've heard my inner lies.
You've found my deep disguise.
You've heard my inner lies.
No more lies today.
You've found my deep disguise.
You've heard my inner lies.
You've found my deep disguise.
You've heard my inner lies.
5. Blind Prophet
Music by Josh Carney
Lyrics by Josh Carney & Joe Kiesgen
Those who make the first move take the risk of running blind.
Those who sit and wait will never find their place in life.
If you move with just the knowledge of a chosen few
You will turn your back on what could possibly be true.
Blind as I am, I can see why you have brought this sweet temptation home.
Brought this sweet temptation home.
Those who make the first move take the risk of losing time.
Those who sit and wait will never find life's true design.
If you make your thoughts rejoice with all the pains of life
You will face your anguish with how you face the knife.
Blind as I am, I can see why you have brought this sweet temptation home.
Brought this sweet temptation home.
6. Another Dying Fool
Music & Lyrics by Josh Carney
I hide in the distance.
I cower in the darkness.
I'm losing my religion.
I'm not searching for the end.
I'm not a saint. I'm not a god. I'm not a hero.
I'm just a man. I'm not a myth. I'm not a prophet.
I'm not a saint. I'm not a god. I'm not a hero
Cause when they shoot at me I'm just another dying fool.
Another dying fool.
I'm drifting through my fears.
I'm wading through my tears.
I'm holding back malignance.
I'm not searching for the end.
I'm not a saint. I'm not a god. I'm not a hero.
I'm just a man. I'm not a myth. I'm not a prophet.
I'm not a saint. I'm not a god. I'm not a hero
Cause when they shoot at me I'm just another dying fool.
Another dying fool.
I crucify resistance.
I unjustify existence.
I'm losing my forgiveness.
I'm not searching for the end.
I'm not a saint. I'm not a god. I'm not a hero.
I'm just a man. I'm not a myth. I'm not a prophet.
I'm not a saint. I'm not a god. I'm not a hero
Cause when they shoot at me I'm just another dying fool.
Another dying fool.
7. Runaway Child
Music & Lyrics by Josh Carney
Through every silent word that came out of her mouth
She told me everything that I needed to know.
Another tragic ending to a subtle life.
She told me that she wanted me to let her go.
She's found a new way down back to that southern town
To find a street to roam and place to call her home.
She's just a reckless child who tries to drive men wild.
She's got a rose tattoo and a stone cold heart to move.
Maybe someday soon they'll find a way to put her back where she belongs.
How could a monster of a man just take away
The only thing this dying girl had left to say.
Another tragic ending to a subtle life.
She told me that she wanted me to let her go.
She's found a new way down back to that southern town
To find a street to roam and place to call her home.
She's just a reckless child who tries to drive men wild.
She's got a rose tattoo and a stone cold heart to move.
Maybe someday soon they'll find a way to put her back where she belongs.
Washed in a bath of blood and tears apon the ground
She told me everything I didn't want to know.
Another tragic ending to a subtle life.
She told me that she wanted me to let her go.
She's found a new way down back to that southern town
To find a street to roam and place to call her home.
She's just a reckless child who tries to drive men wild.
She's got a rose tattoo and a stone cold heart to move.
Maybe someday soon they'll find a way to put her back where she belongs.
