- 9th Circle
How much silver bought that one last kiss?
It felt good at the time but now hits like a fist
You set up your own noose and cast your life aside
You found out that you couldnt run from what you are inside
Bridge
aren’t your bad getting old?
I bet the ninth circle is cold
- A New Vessel
1.You’re still seething though it’s a decade on
Misleading others with your siren song
believing you’re the righteous one
2.Oh so bitter..like a spoiled wine…
I thought the rift would heal after all this time
Aren’t there some things you should leave behind?
Chorus:
- Angel
do angels ever stop to smile at you?
I swore an angel stopped to smile at me
and though she belonged to another man
I swear right then she set my own heart free
Chorus:
And no I won’t try…to make you mine cause I don’t have the right
but I…will dream of you and keep you in my mind
- Another Day
Why must I do everything you say?
You always have to pave the way
the candle burns from end to end
no thoughts for those that you offend
Verse:
these words they fall upon deaf ears
my ambitions become my fears
- Beneath The Surface
Perpetual outsiders through and through
and wasters what they call both me and you
Forever looking in from the outside
You against the grain and me against the tide
Chorus:
You know they hate us cause they’re all so insecure
Beneath the surface I know that we offer more
- Descent
Practise your smile in mirrors – it never touches your eyes
plan out your new persona- and it’s built up of lies
oh hide your hate filled journal- the window to your mind
in self placed isolation- all your thoughts stay maligned
Chorus:
You have no words left to say at all at all at all x2
Caught up in self pity you fall – you fall
- Die Alone
You’re always tempting me – the devil on my shoulder
you’ve worn my health down and my outlooks bleak
Though your responsible please make my body smoulder
My flesh is willing – cause my spirits weak
Chorus:
You act- like I’m- some item… that you own
When its- not in- person then its…it’s on the phone
- Dirt
All of the wasted hours I put myself out for you
You’re always there for me whenever theres something for you
Running around in circles- I was hooked upon your line
Give up my heart for breaking- whenever you can find the time
Bridge:
If I’m your one and only – I’m yet to see the proof
why did it take so long – for me to see the truth?
- Drowning Without You
Stuck in a sea of people – still I feel so all alone
It’s hard to feel some comfort- when you’re so far from home
And so I try to latch on to someone – I’m dying to connect
I couldn’t relate to them – should have known what to expect
Chorus:
Theres no comfort when I try to sleep – could you steal my thoughts away
In my head the gears keep ticking – help me push these thoughts away x2
- Escape Myself
A lifetimes scrutiny no longer phases
a thousand nights spent in these drunken hazes
the emptiness so vast – the goodtimes never last
no time for people and their changing faces
Chorus:
if you could just for one day come and take my pain away
then I would give my all just to be with you…
- Even the Light
No reason… for what’s on my mind
No hidden meanings if you read between the lines
Would reasons really soften the blow?
I think sometimes…it’s really better not to know…
Chorus:
1. Now – I’ve gave it my best-
all sins confessed,
- Fat Cats
We rob you of your rights… and condemn the minorities
Distracting with one hand…to cement our authority
Paying off politicians – with their shit eating grins.
Acting awful pious – to absolve us of our sins
Chorus:
And with a boot stamping in your face forever
You soon will say that pain is now pleasure…
- Gain Ground
Verse 1:
I’ve tried…pushing you away…
I just…can’t let go
Bridge:
My efforts go to waste- once I’ve had a taste of you
I dash resolve against the wall
Verse 2:
How many…times must i have lied?
- Lucid
I miss the touch of your fist…
As it strikes flesh against my bones…
I know it’s sick to long for this pain…
But it’s the only love I’ve known…
Chorus:
Come Home… Come Home… These bruises have done healing…
Come Home… Come Home… Come Home…
- More News on Nothing
I’d been sitting on the sofa – puzzled by the screen right before my eyes
So called tv-personalties; another contradiction that I despise
Theres got to be more than just nothing on the air
Seems bliss is ignorance and not being aware
Chorus:
Come now – we’re all in this together
Happy to be kept blind
- Nothing
I keep saying that I’m better it makes it so easy to hide
inside I keep negativity and outword I like to feign pride
I force myself through all the motions – at least I can say that I tried
but deep inside I’m still a quitter- I thought you should know I lied
Bridge:
I found a new distraction – a temporary solution
and what I call the cure- is really just pollution
- Post Traumatic Stress
You left us low and then took our best
you drained the lives that we’d been blessed
you pushed us on the meds whilst we died inside
enough to do our jobs forsaking our pride
Verse:
always a new threat – to occupy our minds
get away with more – when you keep us blind
- Premonition
You like to think you are the original- no one ever could top you- you say…
all your lies they’re all coming back to haunt you- you’ll just plead innocense!
Chorus:
Of course I owe you everything- the whole world owes you everything- you must get it off your chest
Your love it is so hollow, your friendships are so shallow- time to lay your green eyes to rest
Verse:
- Rise
If I could just believe in this…
then it could…be so much more…
if you could believe too…
one of these days I’ll get up there
and transform into something mo-ore…
than flesh and blood… and weakness…
Verse:
- Scene Whore
In she walks out of our dreams and oh… she guns for glory and pride
We long to be your lover- your webbings your bed covers, oh twisted games you play…
Chorus:
your broken hearts – her tattered gown – the self crowned queen is back in town
don’t be depressed – don’t make no sound – she’s been built up to let you down
when you’re around – we cut you slack – but on our blogs we stab your back
the time has come – you’ve been disowned – we’re glad the bitch had been dethroned
- Serpentine
I can not win
My words betray
Must I give up these dreams
Must I cast my hopes away?
Bridge:
I’m not quite sure if it’s deception
should I head in this direction?
- Some Kind of Saviour
Why…why bother… pandering myself to your whims
You…see sorrow… even in all of these good deeds
I…I struggled to reach out to another side of you
You close your eyes- to anothers help and point of view
Bridge:
I can’t fix you and
I can’t take this now…
- Stranglehold
No…feelings
We censored empathy – our selflessness receded
No…meaning
lost in the trivial – real concerns went unheeded
Chorus:
feels like theres a truth that is never told
all the honestys left out in the cold
