Don't Say A Word
03:06
|

keep your mouth shut
and avert your eyes
you'd better take
my advice
the things we do
they are not nice
and we'll do them to you
if you're compromised
you have to learn
to live a lie
and if you fail
say your good byes
don't breathe
don't blink
and don't say a word
put it out of your mind
the screams and cries you've heard
don't breathe
don't blink
and don't say a word
our little secret
must not be told
the underlying story
must not unfold
you seem scared
but just you wait
the things you'll see
will haunt your grave
you'd better believe
you'll be erased
don't breathe
don't blink
don't say a word
put it out of your mind
the screams and cries you've heard
what have you seen?
what have you heard?
don't breathe
don't blink
and don't say a word
put it out of your mind
the screams and cries you've heard
don't breathe
don't blink
and don't say a word
put it out of your mind
the screams and cries you've
heard
what have you've seen?
what have you've heard?
what have you've seen ?
what have you've heard?

Burn It Down
04:26
|
|||
when it's already beginning
to feel like the end
if it's not what it seems
there's no longer a need to pretend
as the gray sky is crawling
with the depth of the soul
you'll know no peace
until we've received
what we came for
we are seething on the inside
with our simple primate minds
as these debts from the past
are bleeding us dry
we must burn it down
to the ground
and leave them nothing
not a word on their lips
leave the ashes
to blow in the wind
let them know
what they can't
get away with
burn it down
to the ground
and leave them nothing
not a word on their lips
leave the ashes
to blow in the wind
let them know
what they can't
get away with
this is not our end
this is merely
the beginning
of this path chosen for us
yet we are the ones
who are sinning
unable to move
and we're somehow led astray
we are trapped in a corner
then we are simply
flushed down the drain
we are seething on the inside
with our simple primate minds
as these debts from the past
are bleeding us dry
we must burn it down
to the ground
and leave them nothing
not a word on their lips
leave the ashes
to blow in the wind
let them know
what they can't
get away with
burn it down
to the ground
and leave them nothing
not a word on their lips
leave the ashes
to blow in the wind
let them know
what they can't
get away with
we are seething on the inside
with our simple primate minds
as these debts from the past
are bleeding us dry
we must burn it down
to the ground
and leave them nothing
not a word on their lips
leave the ashes
to blow in the wind
let them know
what they can't
get away with
burn it down
to the ground
and leave them nothing
not a word on their lips
leave the ashes
to blow in the wind
let them know
what they can't
get away with

My Defeat
04:50
|
|||
I'm attacked by shadows
and at war with the winds
where I go no one can follow
for it's a war within
the sun, is watching me sleep
the moon, every step I take
the stars are screaming
as they fall from the sky
only by the embers
I am embraced
these visions disturb and haunt me
with each breath I take
the dead curse and slant me
they're calling out my name
searching for my sanity
paranoia's become my name
ashamed and without dignity
as I am forced to face
my defeat
the rain is trying to drown me
as the trees block my way
the earth tries to reclaim me
wherever may lay
the sands slowly engulf me
whenever I am still
am I the only one who sees these things?
or am I mentally ill?
these visions disturb and haunt me
with each breath I take
the dead curse and slant me
they're calling out my name
searching for my sanity
paranoia's become my name
ashamed and without dignity
as I am forced to face
my defeat
I'm attacked by shadows
and at war with the winds
I'm feeling down and hollow
I can't remember where I've been
the sun, is telling me lies
as the moon, laughs in my face
as the stars fall from the sky
I am the one to blame
these visions disturb and haunt me
with each breath I take
the dead curse and slant me
they're calling out my name
searching for some sanity
paranoia's become my name
ashamed and without dignity
as I'm forced to face
my defeat

Breathe
03:50
|

I hope you've found
what you were looking for
I hope it was all
you were praying for
I hope it has made
all your dreams come true
and I hope your nightmares
have stopped haunting you
I hope you're not stuck
with this regret
with memories flashing
in your head
be careful what you wish for
and mindful of what you receive
not every gift that meets you
is exactly as it seems
an unspoken promise
that will be called in, in time
by the utmost dishonest
I know too well their kind
oh the mountains we've climbed
are of another kind
like the questions we've ask
we are forgotten in time
but there are some things
we'd rather forget
after all we all have monsters
hiding under our beds
be careful what you wish for
and mindful of what you receive
not every gift that meets you
is exactly as it seems
an unspoken promise
that will be called in, in time
by the utmost dishonest
I know too well their kind
be careful what you wish for
and mindful of what you receive
not every gift that meets you
is exactly as it seems
an unspoken promise
that will be called in, in time
by the utmost dishonest
I know too well
your kind

Blame
03:42
|
|||
time will take its toll
and the good never seem to grow old
I know
and it's hard not to grow cold
both of us are to blame
you are not the only one
to carry this shame
disgraced and replaced
the only thing we have
the only thing we own
is our name
is our name
so I'm walking alone
down the same road
the same places
with the same faces
and I haven't the strength
...any more...
both of us are to blame
you are not the only one
to carry this shame
disgraced and replaced
the only thing I have
the only thing I own
is my name
is my name
and I'll carry this shame
time has taken its toll
you know that's how
the story goes
with this loss of control
and waking up alone
with a chill in my soul
I can feel it in my bones
I've dug my own hole
I've dug my own hole
this place I call my home
this place I call my home
this place I call my home
this place I call my home
