- Blessed By A Nightmare
Hands up!
And don't you make a sound
Shotgun is pointed at me now
It just mite blow me away
So here is all I have
It is't much but please
All I ask
- Blind Truth
I was drunk sober tarnished and pure
All I ever wanted was a little bit more
I had eyes that were heavy sickly and sore
Blacked out windows and a bolt on the door
I was shell shocked shaken from the world outside
I had voices come and wake me in the dead of the night
At the end of the tunnel they says there’s a light
I hope there’s more to living than being alive
- Byron Black
I met a man named Byron Black
And he carried his life strapped to his back
On a sidewalk in Houston he called home
Crying, "Don't you forget me,"
He said, "Don't you forget me,"
You don't know what it's like to walk alone
You don't know and I hope you never will
- Chromatic Fades
Across these highways and dead-end roads
You wandered down for somewhere new
And you travelled lightly, just the air inside
Was all you'd take to carry on your way
Hoping you'd lessen to the end!
Cause after all, those frames filled the wall
When you ripped them down!
- Clockwork
You're probably sick of being tired
You can't find the strength to close your eyes
You can't let go
But you can't change everything
Stop laying in this burning bed
Write it on the walls and read it
Bright red so you can see it
- Divine Intervention
Divine intervention
So few and far between
Like lightning when it touches to the ground
Answer me the question
I'm ready to believe
I hold my breath before I let it out
The face we show
- Friday Mourning
A desperate breath inhaled, then it leaves you.
Hollowed out, and you struggle to feel something.
Abandoned eyes that drowned in the disbelief and
doubt, when you woke up Friday morning.
It still seems so surreal.
These scars should slowly heal.
I remember when you kneeled, you didn't say goodbye.
You knew she wasn't gone.
- I Know You're Waiting
I was waiting
Watching every single move
On the wire I cling to
Had a feeling
Like a cold and empty room
There was nothing left to lose
And I know, I know you're waiting
- I'm Thinking
I'm think about the times we knew it all
And how we use to feel invincible
We ran so fast we never thought we'd fall
I'm think about the time's we knew it all
It never got too late
We stayed up til the early morning
We swore we'd stay the same
- Long Way To Fall
Eyes Fixed and Dilated
Stuck Staring out
So jaded and frustrated
Dragging you down
You can only see so much when you're relying on your
eyes
There's an instinct inside everyone
It's the engine and the drive
- Looking Up
You figured this should be natural.
It's just what you need but too much keeps getting in
your way.
You know it's never that easy.
You know it always gets complicated.
Now you're frantic, suspicious, and you pay a price
for everything
It might be the only chance you get.
- Make A Sound
All we can do for now is hope
I don't know if we'll make it home
Water all around could swell and wash us all away, away!
And if we never set our feet on land again
This will be one last song I will not forget
And if you drown
- Missing The Innocence
I wish I wasn't waiting.
This place gets smaller everyday.
We all have characters and we know the parts we play.
We're actors and actresses,
- Nothing Frequency
There's static in the atmosphere
And a constant interference that is killing me
I'm losing the connection here
When all the frequencies are down
And this silence seems so loud
That's why
This system...it shorted out
- Raise Your Rifle
All my trials and tribulations
Have led me to one realization
That no matter where I've been
I'm still stuck inside my skin
And I'm not trying to be something I'm not
Letting their thoughts get in ... cause I
Won't end up twisted and insane
- Rejoice
It's falling it's falling
And outside the buildings
Are tumbling down
And inside a child on the ground
Says he'd do it again
And what am I to do?
What in the world am I to say?
- Sleeptight
I know you wish you were dreaming.
The silence is keeping you awake.
Staring outward past your ceiling, and pushing aimless
thoughts away.
There's no resolution when the day is over,
when there's much left undone.
There must be something better than this
tired cycle, where there's so much left unsaid.
- Something For Everyone
My pain is never ending,
I feel it grow inside.
Frustration overwhelms me
there's no place left to hide.
My mind is always racing.
These things can't stay the same.
I want to see the difference,
I want to see the change.
- Spring Training
I found you falling into old routines,
As you layed the final straw across my back.
Familiar with the ending,
The sickening returns,
And I've come to find out the equation stays the same.
Every time I think it's different,
You turn and face me with the truth.
With your eyes so blank and distant,
- The Cicada's Song
Tonight I have decided that there's only one way out
And I tried so hard to fight it, but the blame kept coming down!
Nowhere to hide...
You were always way too strong
Out in the night...
As cicadas sing their song
Tell me, are you listening...?
- The Silver Star
Keeps to himself, never really had that much to say.
He wears the welts beneath his skin.
Those yesterdays have a way of staying
when constantly they try to cut you down.
All he wants is to be like anybody,
And if he had one wish then he would ask for half a chance.
Because all he wants is to be like anybody.
I pin this medal on you.
- Voice In The Dark
If there's a light, leave it on
If there's a way
Somehow thin air's taking your place
Dead of the night's coming on
It's getting late
I hear my heart starting to break
And I'll wait for you
- What I Want
I never thought I'd come back around
I never thought I'd see you again
And it took one night when I packed my life
And one to take it out again
I took a look at a photograph
Where we didn't even notice the lens
Something came to life from that 3x5
It was you and me and innocence
