1. Within The Answer Lies
Within the Answer Lies
(Words: Dennis Cornelius)
Lying here in the quiet
Serene thoughts never come
The canvas of black
Offers a perfect still
For the flashes of life
When the switch is thrown
The nightly ritual of sleep
At bay for the moment
I want the truth
The underlying answer
To the burning question
Who am I
Truth is I know and I'm frightened
I have become what everyone sees
What they want me to be
And not even I know
What it's doing to me
So I lay here, try to rest
For tomorrow comes all too soon
2. Frozen Masque
Frozen Masque
(Words: Dennis Cornelius)
I hide behind
This smile frozen on my face
A side of depression
One should not bear
Not content with death
I toil on through in despair
Every once in awhile
Someone sees through this face
That I wear
Once I met
A person such as this
But I was in a strange land
Not understanding
How much honesty
Flowing from her
And I see
That with her kind words
I found me
That with her generosity
I found me
3. Finished With You
Finished With You
(Words: Dennis Cornelius)
I don't need this, not now
Just leave my mind
Every night you visit me
Taunting visions and emotions within
All I want is to be finished with you
To move on
But somehow I can't
You're in disguise, fooling my heart
Revealing yourself when I am weak
Every night you visit me
Taunting visions and emotions within
All I want is to be finished with you
To move on
But somehow I can't
Do you wake up angry at yourself
For letting me slip into your mind
4. Last Impression
Last Impressions
(Words: Dennis Cornelius)
One face for self
While another for you
Cannot the difference
See between the two
Which one is real
And which is fake
The sustenance of which
Is hard to partake
I feel like I'm dying
With a thirst to quench
But I can't reach
Far enough down that hole
To taste the water
Sweetening my life
But I can't
5. Grasping The Nettle
6. Morning Sun
Morning Sun
(Words: Dennis Cornelius, Steve Branagan)
Like a circle, the morning sun begins and ends
From the sight of it, I hold back always waiting
Every aspect, every possible point of view you can fathom
My unavoidable destiny
The human idiosyncrasy
It is exigent that I must deviate
From this fear of unimaginable pain
At the crossroads I seem to take wrong turns
Perfect hindsight reveals the true route
If I can learn from the past, can I become
The individual I aspire to be?
Like a circle, the morning sun begins and ends
From the sight of it, I hold back always waiting
I can continue to put off life, but how long will
It wait for me?
7. Eternal Search
Eternal Search
(Words: Steve Branagan)
Searching for the one, the one who is to come
Will it ever happen for me?
Waiting is like staring into the deceitful winter sun
The endless lonely journey that clings to a merciless hope
I believe the moment will come
I have to believe it will happen
I believe the moment will come
Will there ever be a point that I will just give up?
Am I to walk the beaten path without questioning my fate?
If I ever get there I may not even know it
A myriad of thoughts, a plethora of forgotten dreams
...The never ending search for truth
...A nameless face in a sea of unsurmounting falsities
I must trudge the weathered path
8. Little Faith
Little Faith
(Words: John Brenner)
Why does no one question
The aspects of our reality
Yet place such a heavy value
On knowledge they do not have
Tear down the facade of infallibility
Sentient, indeed, but imperfect man
Can only create imperfect works
Thus even a book can be wrong
I have little faith in the religion of man
Repetition and rote, does not salvation create
Bright and clear I must open my mind
To unlock the manacles of tradition
Why do they fall into roles
Society insists they must enact from birth
Deviation is termed as abnormal
By those who are afraid to live
I have little faith in the ways of man
As faulty creatures we are at best
What is the difference between them and me?
My views and dreams, at least I can feel
9. Images Of Darkness (live)
Images of Darkness
(Words: John Brenner)
What's in the future?
And what's it hold for me?
Will things ever change?
I think I know
Lurking in the shadows
Something hidden lies in wait
It always seems to win
A game I'm not allowed to play
I can see clearly
That no one will be there
Least of all, you
Won't be at my side
How many times does right go wrong?
And who's the one to blame?
I pray to God the time will come
When someone will ease the pain
Is it just a premonition?
Or is it just my fate?
The long and lonely answer
Gnaws at my heart forever
It's the inevitable
Images etched in stone
A life of entropy
A death alone
10. Natural Steps (live)
Natural Steps
(Words: Steve Branagan)
I move on as if something keeps pulling me forward
I don't want to go too far for fear of not wanting to return
One eye looking forward, the other looking back
I wander from the external world
An impressionable soul in an inherent spectacle
A minuscule player in a monstrous entity
I stare at the palatial displays
Yearning to be a part of it
If I could fly, I would fly the infinite heavens
If I could paint, I would paint the endless skies
I take the natural steps to my destiny
The strive for immortality is awakened by thoughts of reality
For what seems like days, turns out to be only minutes
The pleasure of the soul is only an arm's length away
