1. In Regards To Self
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
This is not a test!
It's
time to meet the concrete
Get it off your chest
So steady your hand before your face
and concentrate
There's gotta
be some stable ground
We have to walk on
So tear another page from the book
Are you asleep or just alone?
Clear
this room from your lungs
Pull yourself together
Pull yourself together, man
Pull yourself together
Pull yourself
together
On your back,
You're sleeping in a bed of shame
Bring some new life into this room
It's what keeps
you coming back
Made up of insatiable songs
Bury your head in your hands
and sing it to yourself
Just what
are you so afraid of?
What are you so afraid of?
You're staring truth in the face
So come on down
What are you
so afraid of?
You're busy living now, aren't you? (no!)
You're busy making vows
You're coming unglued
Time
is shorter than you know
I know the light is blinding to the naked eye
So why don't you take steps away from being alone?
I
swear, it's not too late for you
It's all worth reaching for
The hands will pull you out
Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up!
2. A Moment Suspended In Time
Held captive, I’m a prisoner
In the back
room where the water leaks and I’m oh, so cold
Command me on what to do, but you know neither you or I are in
Control
There’s
nothing left for me here
I’m grabbing on what’s left of this hole, it’s all too real this can’t
be
Happening
Never again, ever again, will I say I’m Ok
I’m scared of the fate that will become mine
No
time to talk you know the drill
Under my desk this can’t be it
I’m only dreaming, I’ve got to
be dreaming
But I can’t get up. No time to talk, not this time, this is my place
This is where I arrange
It’s
so funny how we see things so clear when we have no time left to
Live
So lay back now and take it in
I won’t
say a word. I won’t say anything
I can’t believe how it feels
To stand here in this room
And feel
like it’s going to blow
I think we’re all going to blow
I’ve got to be dreaming
We’ve
got to be dreaming
Please don’t wake me up
This is the end
3. There Could Be Nothing After This
In the end we tend to think of how it began
I
could never explain the picture it painted, and how it made me feel
Now the ceiling is in motion
The light centered
and overlooked
You want to see me disappear? Well, so do I
Such a quiet evaporation
We’re nothing but
hollow vessels in search of what makes us alive
I never said this was my revolution when you looked me in the eye
Oh,
how I’ve walked this white line so many times before
What a feeble attempt just to feel alive
This is for
you and your hopeless case
You would never leave me in your wish to fail every time
Every time I try
So talk
about it
At least it makes you feel something inside
Who have I become
Oh God, everything all around me is crumbling
at my feet
I stare so delicate and ashamed
At the shell I’ve shed myself from
In the eyes of my ghost
And
I will never look back again
4. You're Ever So Inviting
The time has come for you
To sit this one out
To
fit inside your mold
Would be to sell myself short
This ground we tread upon
Is now filling up to our necks
We
turn the pages left to right
We see everything
Oh, my story’s growing, it is
On my last request
Don’t
make me feel so contradicting
There’s no room for cheating and being yourself
Failure leaves such a bitter taster
in their mouth
And on the last hour
We write so many new chapters again
And on the outside
Where there are
no surprises
Oh, it’s getting longer
To see it through their eyes
Would bring me so much closer
You
can do this night after night
Failure leaves such a bitter taster in my mouth
Taste and see, I swear I know what’s
good
Be still and know that they won’t lie to you every
Single time you’re facing lies
I know why you
never take your eyes off me
I’ve used my lungs for everything but breathing
I find myself dried up in this
conversation
So pull me out, pull me aside
5. Salmarnir
PS 50:1 Бог Богов, Господь
возглаголал и призывает
землю, от восхода солнца
до запада.
PS 50:2 С Сиона,
который есть верх красоты,
является Бог,
PS 50:3 (49-3) грядет
Бог наш, и не в безмолвии:
пред Ним огонь поядающий,
и вокруг Его сильная
буря.
PS 50:4 (49-4) Он призывает
свыше небо и землю, судить
народ Свой:
PS 50:5 (49-5) `соберите
ко Мне святых Моих, вступивших
в завет со Мною при жертве`.
PS 50:6 (49-6) И небеса
провозгласят правду
Его, ибо судия сей есть
Бог
6. Returning Empty Handed
How peaceful it feels against my face
Oh, what
a long haul
You brought me here for this
I see nothing but disaster
Now I’m taking you with me
A transparent
scenery that comes as fast as it leaves
Now my eyes flash with white
It’s settling in with all the flickering
Here
again
The floor is more fitting for my face
Here again? This is getting old
I am being watched
This
is overwhelming
Paranoia…
As you dig your feet in I will sink my teeth in the floor,
While I lay here alone
As
the light begins to breach the border,
While I lay here alone
Aware of every step
I’m not aware at all
Black…
flash white … I am awake
7. Casting Such A Thin Shadow
Speak up
My ears are growing weary
I’ll sing this song to the end
And watch the waves crash over
me
Not too much to overcome with enough time to turn it all around
In a picture perfect scenery I’ve become
a stick figure illustration
My eyes roll back and focus on what’s ahead
I can still stand if you lend the
hand to brace me
I’ll take this on my own
8. Moving For The Sake of Motion
Someone please turn the lights back on
I’ve been wandering here for days, disconnected, and in search
For
new air to breathe in
I don’t think I can fix this
Don’t think I could change
But that’s
the problem
We never speak to Him
Our walls have caged us in
And I can’t quite remember
This was the
first time I didn’t say enough
This was the only time I kept it close enough
Brace yourself! They’re
not waking up
Oh, my God
I hate the me that I’ve become
This needy useless forgetting one
Truthfully
I can’t be the me that I’ve washed up to be
Don’t stop breathing
The walls have just begun to
spin
Just let the water calm you this time
It’s all around you, just open your eyes and take a look
It will
never kill you; not this time
It’s all around you
We’re surrounded for all I care
Brace yourself
right now
Lights out I’m not breathing
I can’t keep swimming, can’t keep my head up
9. Writings On The Wall
Maybe we, Why don’t we sit right here for half
an hour
We’ll speak of what a waste I am and how we missed your beat again
I swear we need to find some comfort
in this run down place
To bridge the gap of this conscious state that we live in
I’m short on time
How
come you try and fit the shape of what they tell you
But mostly what they show you
That brings us home
I pray for
you to move on
At this rate we can’t keep up but I sure can’t just sit still
I’m taking back all
the things I said
Keep me filled in, I swear I’ll come
We walk alone back home
You’re almost
gone and I’m ok to give you time to be afraid
I still see your shadow but never your face again
I remember your
presence
I hope to God you come down
I hope to God you can feel this now
I know there must be some way out
of here and all of them will be
Waiting here
10. Everyone Looks So Good From Here
In a deep breath it all starts to change
Flip my
world inside out, honestly I like it better this way
When I mesh the night through the back of my eyes
I have put
myself here
I’m the culprit
I am the culprit
I’ve been swallowed alive
Shut down
Building from
the inside out
I can finally walk through the walls
I swear I’ve been slipped right through the cracks in
the floor
It’s so easy when it’s pulling me under
Now I can see things from the outside, and I will
sit here with no place
In mind
I can’t escape from this place, this is so unfamiliar to me
I can hear
the unsatisfying silence
My mouth is open but none of you can hear me
11. To Whom It May Concern
So hold
your head up high and know it’s the end of the road
Walk down this beaten path before you pack your things and head
Home
At
the end of the road you’ll find what you’ve been longing for
I know cause my feet have the scars to show
I
was lost with vague direction and no place to call home
It’s time for you to press on
This is not your war
Set
your sites to the North and press on
This is not your escape
Wash away what they though of you
Because in this place,
we’re all as good as dead
…end cycle…
Behind the mask you’ll find yourself alone
