1. Illusions of Power

Illusions of Power

You thought you gave me all that I need
Thought I depended on you
I broke your chains and now I'm free
You're gonna see just what I can do

Controlling - Illusions of Power
All knowing - Illusions of Power
Defeating - Illusions of Power
Never succeeding

The stars have alligned for me on this night
It's time to take back what is mine
No longer will you hold me down
Finally free after all this time

Controlling - Illusions of Power
All knowing - Illusions of Power
Defeating - Illusions of Power
Never succeeding

From the darkness comes a small ray of light
Ripping apart those standing before it
This world now belongs to me
As I give the final hit




2. This One

This One

I open my eyes almost sure I'm still dreaming
trying to run but my feet won't move
Something inside wants to get out
Fights like a beast trying to get loose

Silence invades where my screams should be
My heart pushes hard against my chest
I try to remember something that's real
Good thoughts are laid to rest

I don't believe in you
I will defy until I'm gone
This pain I feel is not true
You can't break the will of this one

Thought I had slipped away one last time
You return to me again and again and again
Why try to fight when I know I can't hide
Everything spinning out of control
I remember how it felt to be alive, alive
Waters of time wash away an empty soul

I don't believe in you
I will defy until I'm gone
This pain I feel is not true
You can't break the will of this one

As quick as you came you're gone again
Why play this game...why not let me go
You tell me you're always inside of me
When you and I both know you'll never release your hold




3. Come On

Come On

I caught the sun today
reached out, burned my hands
It's ok I can take the pain
The scars I can't stand
I saw your face today
Looked up, it filled the sky
next thing I knew it was gone
Next thing I knew so were you
I closed my eyes today
Didn't change what I saw
I felt the sadness raining
You can't save them all
I felt the rain today
Like tears from God's own face
But he was not in heaven
This was not a holy place

Come on, come on down
It's your turn to play the game
Come on, come on down
Wash my heart in flames

I spread the word today
Told them all what I'm feeling
All they did was rip me open
Then fill the holes to stop the bleeding
I disappeared today
Wish I could stay so long
So long you'd find you'd need me
So long you'd come back home

Come on, come on down
It's your turn to play the game
Come on, come on down
Wash my heart in flames

I caught the sun today
reached out, burned my hands
It's ok I can take the pain
The scars I can't stand
I saw your face today
Looked up, it filled the sky
Next thing I knew it was gone
Next thing I knew so were you




4. Can't Save the World

Can't Save the World

Wished I knew the answers
All I ever ask is why
Quench my thirst with water
Before I slip away in fire

No one can save them all
Not the good, the brave, the pure
You can try but this I give you
You can't save the world

I have the will and the desire
I have the drive but lord I'm tired
Seems like yesterday was alright
Today I can't get one good ride

No one can save them all
Not the good, the brave, the pure
You can try but this I give you
You can't save the world

I'll write my name in the ashes
And stake my claim to what might be
Take my chances with what I don't know
Because I don't like what I see




5. Freedom

Freedom

Pull the skin over my eyes
I want to be blind
Turn out the lights
Really I don't mind
Tired of seeing
What this world has to offer
You made me what I am now
You just have to suffer

I want to be free
I want to own me
I want to just be
Why can't you see

See these marks
That pierce my skin
They tell you about the bad things
That I've seen
I've made some mistakes
Or maybe they made me
Make no mistake about it
I have bled to be free

I want to be free
I want to own me
I want to just be
Why can't you see

Just let me slip away
Without a trace
You know you'll never miss me
In this place
So many like me
You know we're drowning
Tomorrow there won't be
One worth saving




6. Here I Come

Here I Come

Here I come to shake you up
I'm tired of trying to do it right
Forget the rules now you're mine
I'm gonna get it done tonight
Here I come to lift you up
I'm tired of trying to do it right
Mama says you shouldn't go
You're never gonna win that fight

This is my time, this is my way
This is my right it happens today
This is my time, this is my way
Here I come

Here I come to break your chains
I'm tired of seeing you down
Let it loose, let it shine
Tell 'em all you'll see 'em around

This is my time, this is my way
This is my right it happens today
This is my time, this is my way
Here I come

Here I come to shake you up
I'm tired of trying to do it right
Forget the rules now you're mine
I'm gonna get it done tonight




7. Drown

Drown

Tears of the mothers for the hearts of their babes
Blood building towers reaching to the sky
Greed running countries and taking over lives
When the end comes calling don't ask me why
Brother fights brother for the wants of another
Over something neither will ever understand
We see them hurting, we turn the channel
What you don't see you'll never comprehend

The end of the day comes quietly round
Slipping and sliding and dragging us down
Even our Father cannot save us now
When offered life, we choose to drown

Under the ashen gray of the evening sky
Even the sun seems surprisingly blind
The pain of the river is washed to the sea
If you wonder what happened don't ask me

The end of the day comes quietly round
Slipping and sliding and dragging us down
Even our Father cannot save us now
When offered life, we choose to drown




8. Long Way Down

Long Way Down

Not trying to tell you something
I've nothing important to say
Just want to close my eyes
While the world slips away
Don't look to me for answers
Don't look to me for what's right
Truth can be lies when the day turns to night

It's a long way down I can't make it back
It's a long way down I can't make it back

I drift over hills and far away
Just like the clouds in my eyes
I think I'll lay down
And rest here a while
You want to hold on so much
You want to hold it all
I am behind you
Trying to break your fall

It's a long way down I can't make it back
It's a long way down I can't make it back




9. Feed the Machine
