- Before the Night Takes Us
Lets run away
Leave it all behind
The Smokes too thick to breathe
Resist the urge of giving in
Bury the past beneath our dreams
Disconnect the lifeline
Suffocate pretentious waste
- Belay My Judgement
It seems a lifetime since
Feeling alive like once before
Determining I will forever suffer,
Condemned to walk the earth,
Devoid of that which matters most,
Undeserving of the warmth of another.
Release me now,
- Farewell The Favored
From it's origin
The bond we set
Seemed never failing
Yet paralleled truths
Would shadow my dreams
With a dormant evil unrestrained
Still trusting nature
- Ghost of Grandeur
The time has come again like clockwork
As swiftly the manifest arises
So too does it flee
Preying upon constitution
Free will to recognize the tyrant
Blinding my need for self preservation
Unknown to the wretched perpetrator
- May Silence Keep You
It comes from deep within
So swiftly without warning
A place that no one speaks of
Cares not for what's at stake
The beast tears into walls of the soul
Incessantly
Then breaks loose
- Seasons
What is this place? Seems all to familiar
So foreign, yet so recognizable
A road long since traveled
That state of reckless abandon
Unguarded, unassured
Been down this road before
Can't take this feeling anymore
- Song For The Hopeless
Today's a day for retribution,
This all ends here.
Now is the time to commit to the changes
That are needed to survive.
Look around and see what's missing,
Nothing's as it used to be,
Smoldering beneath the wreckage
- The Ardent Optimist
Since infancy a void
Has plagued my existence
Attempts to disregard such anguish
Only magnified the hollowness
So many years
Have came and went
Without a single trace of you
- The Sun Sets
Can you feel this
Pervading through
Unveil the light
Illuminate
May I wisely
Appropriate
Seek the truth
- Tipping the Scales
Here is a message
For all who seek to take advantage
Of kindness gravely mistaken for weakness
Things are not always as they seem
Take nothing for granted
[chorus]
Be mindful and restrain
- Trials
Boiling water scorch my head
Falsely convinced I am dead
Forcing forth a watery grave
Breathing none no safe haven
No safe haven for me
Asinine tribulations
Dramatize stipulations
Contrary accusations
