- A Faint Illusion
I know you know. Despite your reservations,
out of everything in this world, I choose you.
It goes to show, despite our conversations,
back when you were just a little girl,
we had no clue just what we were getting ourselves into.
We were merely trying something new.
Dissolve myself in you, 'cause I'm not gonna give you up.
Cancel myself to feel you, 'cause I'm not gonna give you up.
- chemical fires
Under such disappointing times, we distract ourselves.
Showing off our petty chemical fires. They glow so wrong.
So you follow your dreams, or at least the dreams you've settled for.
But if you followed your dreams...
I want the answer. I want the cure for dying alone.
I thought that I was supposed to be a hero.
Now they'll all see how much I've grown.
Sing loud and scream and yell and raise your fists and cause an avalanche.
- Contents Within
Desolately awaiting nightfall,
The cool dead feeling, to fall on my face,
Patiently...
And I'll forget this day,
Did you forget me here,
In this corridor of Hell?
Where I lost my mind,
To desecration and fear?
- Create
Shake off the chills, just don't look into his eyes
(Keep your head down)
Think of all the things
They told you he did that were so wrong
This last ounce of love is what kept you so inspired (While they flocked)
You kept your wings outstretched with miles for you to look down
You lost yourself along the way
Gave into temptation
- Descent
D: The Descent from Destiny
By a Dark Deed Done
Was Disclosed in Divination
Death of a Dead man's son
Deranged, Deprived Delivery
Darkened his Decor
E: Ever-loathesome, the Executor's Edict
Estranges he from himself
- Empire Theory
And so his epic began,
With the touch of pen to paper,
Had he forfeit liberty?
Was equality greater?
His blameless head...
And what of my tale?
Would it ever be sung?
Could I live through the war?
- Home
You were faster than me.
You were better than me.
I was too careful and weak.
It had to be you.
And I pushed myself beyond the resolve
just so I could try to make you relive it.
But you were faster than me.
You were better than me.
- Knowing
This one doesn't cry like the others,
Take his vital signs and,
Medicate him,
This ones hopes won't die like the others,
Throw him in the hole and,
Sedate him,
As I enter this former sanctuary,
My bones don't feel like they felt
- Not My Love
I'll never be you No matter how hard you spit
You're so excited, How intense and heated you get,
They're laughing at you dazed as you are,
And you're making it so easy,
Glazed over and cold,
I wish your smile could see me,
I want to be,
Someone I admire,
- Statues
What have you done to justify,
The demand of our deference,
Only time will spoil,
Your inflated statue of yourself.
You've been underwhelmed.
Only for a second there I had you fooled,
