Verse 1
Created you, An effigy
To replace, reality
Fall from Grace, In human terms
The effigy was set to burn
Chorus
They built you up, To tear you down
A thousand words you couldn’t make a sound
They built you up, To tear you down
Pictures that bury you, bury you underground
Verse 2
Turned into, A modern god
Worshiped for, Consumer art
Captured in, Your descent
Hell hath wrought the heaven sent
Bridge
Put in to the family system
Put in to the family system
Put into the family system
Put into the family system
Stripped of hope, stripped of will, Forced to work, chastised still
They built you up, and tore you down, And here you lie, without a sound
Chorus 2
They built you up, To tear you down
A thousand words you couldn’t make a sound
They built you up, To tear you down
Pictures that bury you bury you underground
They built you up, To tear you down
Claw your way back to common ground
They built you up, To tear you down
Pictures can’t bury you bury you now
Post Chorus
Burn this broken family system

Verse 1
can’t trust what I know not any more, life so slow I can’t see it move
don’t feel I can depend on reality, When every sense of the word has abandoned me,
Can’t trust what I know, not any more
Get second eyelids, pull them closed, tie them shut
Keep out the pain, and the lie that we’re all free
Abandon hope, relinquish your free will
While we’re stuck inside this faux reality
Chorus 1
Am I losing what I had all again? My spirit crawling under my skin
In my head, I feel half dead, Am I losing what I had again
Forget fast, cos the past is coming again
Forget fast, the past is coming again
It’s coming
It’s coming
Verse 2
Abandon hope it’s an illusion, When your past, is a contusion
And the world fosters confusion, Abandon hope, it’s an illusion
Prechorus
I feel it growing under my skin, Eating me alive from within
Chorus 2
Am I losing what I had all again? My spirit crawling under my skin
In my head, I feel half dead, Am I losing what I had again
Forget fast, cos the past is coming again
It’s coming, it’s coming again
Forget fast cos the past is coming again
Chorus 3
Am I losing what I had all again? My spirit crawling under my skin
In my head, I feel half dead,
Am I losing what I had again
It’s coming again
Woah
In my head, in my head, in my head, woah
Am I losing what I had all again? My spirits crawling under my skin
In my head, I feel half dead, Am I losing what I had again, oh

Signs Of Life

Verse 1
Anybody can’t touch anybody can’t feel anybody can’t be
just me I guess I’m alone
Can’t be anybody can’t change anybody Just me guess i’m alone
Everybody’s looking for signs of life If there’s a chance it’ll keep us together
If anybody’s out there give us a sign, are we grabbing at straws in the ether
Chorus
We all want to feel like something keeps us together
Maybe this lie just fills up a hole
We all want to feel like something goes on forever
When there’s signs of life not anything more
Verse 2
Say what you will about the next life nothing stays here forever
If you’re look for a sign of life it’s right here right now, the sooner the better
Anybody can’t feel anybody can’t be anybody can’t see anything more
Anybody can’t feel something anything nothing on the other side of the door
Chorus 2
We all want to feel like something keeps us together
Maybe this lie just fills up a hole
We all want to feel like something goes on forever
When there’s signs of life not anything more
When there’s signs of life not anything more
Bridge
If we all came from nothing, we return to nothing,
anybody out there, leave us alone
If we all came from nothing, we return to nothing,
Anybody out there...
we all came from nothing, we return to nothing,
anybody out there, leave us alone
we all came from nothing, we return to nothing,
anybody out there, leave us alone
Chorus 3
We all want to feel like something keeps us together
Maybe this lie just fills up a hole
We all want to feel like something goes on forever
When there’s signs of life not anything more
When there’s signs of life not anything more
When there’s signs of life not anything more

VERSE 1
In search of a remedy,
Mind’s clear and your arms are open
But you can’t hold anything more than the weight of the world
When your hands are broken
PRE CHORUS 1
We both know something’s not right, When we hold our hands up to the light
Blood runs between our fingers, This ship must bend before it breaks
CHORUS
I think we’re better off this way,
Even if it means that I’ll be fending for myself
I think we’re better off this way,
Two ships in obsidian oceans trying to find their way through oblivion
VERSE 2
In search of a melody,
Can’t sing when the ship is sinking
We know fear is the enemy,
Forget the life rafts keep on drinking
PRECHORUS 2
We both know something’s not right,
When we hold our hands up to the light
Blood dries beneath our finger nails,
This wrist must bend before it breaks
CHORUS 2
I think we’re better off this way,
Even if it means that i’ll be fending for myself
I think we’re better off this way,
Two ships in obsidian oceans trying to find their way through oblivion
BRIDGE
In search of melody can’t sing when the ship is sinking
In search of a remedy, forget the life raft keep on drinking
CHORUS FINAL
I think we’re better off this way,
Even if it means that i’ll be fending for myself
I think we’re better off this way,
Two ships in obsidian ocean trying to find their way through oblivion
OUTRO
In obsidian oceans, In obsidian oceans, In obsidian oceans
In search of melody can’t sing when the ship is sinking,
In search of a remedy, forget the life raft keep on drinking

Glass Traps
04:28
|

|
Devoid of a voice of reason
Sent on a violent crusade
Support from an empty bureau
Your life a promise that’s been made
Live to act on a call to arms
Die for the sake of a brother’s fate
Focus on the waves
Wash their blood away
You will fight again but
I can see you’re hollow through
Like sand you fall into
Glass traps to capture you
And I see your world collapse
Right in front of you
Bodies adorn the shore
And still the ocean swallows more
Leaves sway in the breeze
While Bullet holes crack the trees
Focus on their screams
Haunted in your dreams
You can’t change a thing but…
I can see you’re hollow through
Like sand you fall into
Glass traps to capture you
And I see your world collapse
Right in front of you
I can see you’re hollow through
Like sand you fall into
Glass traps to capture you
And I see your world collapse
Right in front of you
(Bridge)
I can see you’re hollow through
Like sand you fall into
Glass traps to capture you
And I see your world collapse
Right in front of you
I can see you’re hollow through
Like sand you fall into
Glass traps to capture you
And I see your world collapse
Right in front of you

Here You Are

Don't you ever think that you're not enough, when the truth is...
Each step a liberation,
To paint another stroke
Create this gift of art,
A life, a tapestry
Create this gift of art,
A life, a tapestry
Don’t you ever think that you’re not enough,
When the truth is, you are all you ever are
Like putting a measure to everything,
Not an absence, an uncovering
Look, you’re all here,
And here you are.
An exposition, discovery, The pieces all fit
Now find them connect them, Uncovered from the silt
know that they are here, You need not travel far
Don’t you ever think you’re not enough,
When the truth is, you are all you ever are
Like putting a measure to everything,
Not an absence, an uncovering
Don’t you ever think you’re not enough,
When the truth is, you are all you ever are
Like trying to measure eternity
Not an absence, an uncovering
Look, you’re all here,
And here you are.
Stop looking for pieces,
Stop, stop, stop
You the great engineer,
Construct, refine, create
the structure is already here,
Design, assign, create
Abandon insufficiency,
Reintegrate reality
Discard of fractured fantasies
Impeding what your world could be
See the pieces at your feet
It’s all here
Construct, refine, create
Now watch the structure bloom
Look upon it now, each day
Lest this vision falls away

Verse 1
No matter if I was winning or losing,
I didn’t really think that I was choosing
Life came and went like a raging sea,
I watched the tide roll out and take the best of me
The truth is I let my mind control me,
And when I did I let it shape the moment
If I believed the lies another moment stolen,
If I ignored the wise another gift was broken
Look into my eyes and do you see that now,
Tell me do I look beat down?
Chorus 1
I’m not stuck,
I am free,
You can give me hate I ain’t hearing it loud
This is a war cry, I’m stepping up stepping up out now
Verse 2
Cast these vines of lies away from me,
Bleeds me dry of my energy
Tendrils creep into my very being,
Rip them out burn them at their seed
Pre Chorus
I Built walls to keep you out, they just kept me down
I’m Not Stuck
Chorus 2
I’m not stuck,
I am free,
You can give me weight it ain’t bringing me down
All of these chains they aren’t holding me now
I’m not stuck, I am free, You can give me hate I ain’t hearing it loud
And this is a war cry, I’m stepping up stepping up out now
Step out!
Bridge
I’m not stuck, no I never was, I’m not stuck, no I’ll never be
I’m not stuck, no I never was, The safety of the cage won’t satisfy the free
Chorus 3
I’m not stuck,
I am free,
You can give me weight it ain’t bringing me down
All of these chains they aren’t holding me now
I’m not stuck, I am free, You can give me hate I ain’t hearing it loud
And this is a war cry,
I’m stepping up stepping up out now
This is a war cry, I’m stepping up stepping up out now
This is a war cry, I’m stepping up stepping up out now, Now, Now!~~|

Don’t open your mouth .
Your personality
Might fall out oh no oh no
Don’t you be yourself
You’re making everybody else
uncomfortable oh no
Are you trying to fit in?
Maybe that’s the problem
I think that that’s the problem
We’re all comfortable
Being totally uncomfortable
I could never be enough
(That’s okay with me)
I could never feel enough
(I got space to breathe)
I could never have enough
(things to make me full)
To accept myself as so damn uncool
Are you trying to fit in?
Maybe that's the problem, I think that that's the problem
Don't break me down!
I don’t fit the mould?
I’m not a fungi
Not what you’re looking for?
I’m not your bullseye
I don’t fit the mould?
Guess there’s not mushroom
Not what you’re looking for?
You fucking asshole
Are you trying to fit in?
Maybe that's the problem, I think that that's the problem
We're all comfortable being totally uncomfortable
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Chorus 2
I could never be enough
(That’s okay with me)
I could never feel enough
(I got space to breathe)
I could never have enough

To accept myself as so damn uncool
I could never be enough
(That’s okay with me)
I could never feel enough
(I got space to breathe)
I could never have enough
(things to make me full)
To accept myself as so damn uncool

Verse 1
I’m open to the next step,
Please make it obvious
I’m tired of the riddles,
Unfold me from this mess
I’m tired of believing that I’m meant for something more
I’m tired of the feeling that I’ve missed something
Chorus 1
No Hope, No faith,
Just fear, Filling up an empty space
No Hope, No faith,
Just fear, Filling up an empty space
Verse 2
I’m looking for the light switch,
Please make it obvious
It’s dark out here and I can’t find my way
I miss the part of me that says we’ll be ok
Chorus 2
No Hope, No faith,
Just fear Filling up an empty space
No Hope, No faith,
Just fear Filling up an empty space
Trying my best to believe in something, Anything
Trying my best to believe in something, while I limp to safety
I miss the part of me that says we’ll be ok
Bridge
anybody else out there, making this up as we go along
Writing yet another line to another verse of another cursed unheard song
I got wrinkles on my face where a dream was supposed to be
If this isn’t what I’m here for tell me what’s the use of me
Chorus 3
No Hope, No faith,
Just fear Filling up an empty space
No Hope, No faith,
Just fear Filling up an empty space
Post Chorus
Trying my best to believe in something, Anything
Trying my best to believe in something, while I limp to safety
I miss the part of me that says we’ll be ok
No Hope

Verse 1
They say that blood is thicker than water
But it disintegrates when it is dry
Like a lamb being lead to the slaughter
Came for support and left with a broken spine
You always said you were someone to turn to
When I was down and the well ran dry
They say that blood is thicker than water
But it won't cover a lie
Chorus 1
I made a choice to be me,
In spite of everyone else
I Didn’t think that the change would come easy
But to be free,
Meant being pushed to the fringe
And a part of my life would then leave,
You make me feel like i’m a
Black sheep (Black Sheep)
Black sheep (Black Sheep)
Verse 2
You sold a vision of love and acceptance, Unconditionally
Next thing I know, I’ve been left for dead
While you break bread with the enemy
Pre Chorus
Illusion, I got you figured out - you’re like a witch drawing sailors to their death in the sea
Delusion, I broke your spell, you’ll never be a port for to call for safety
Chorus 2
I made a choice to be me, In spite of everyone else
I Didn’t think that the change would come easy
But to be free, meant being pushed to the fringe
A part of my life would then leave,
I’ve got to be me, can’t be anyone else
You would rather me dead than to be myself
so to be me, In spite of everyone else
means killing myself in your eyes
You make me feel like I’m a
Bridge
Black sheep, You make feel like i’m a
Black sheep, I can’t believe that i’m the
Black sheep, I guess it’s just as well
Fringe Benefits i’m out of the cell
Black sheep, You make feel like i’m a
Black sheep, I can’t believe that i’m the
Black sheep, I guess it’s just as well
Fringe Benefits i’m out of the cell
Chorus 3
I made a choice to be me, In spite of everyone else
I Didn’t think that the change would come easy
But to be free, meant being pushed to the fringe
A part of my life would then leave,
I’ve got to be me, can’t be anyone else
You would rather me dead than to be myself

You make me feel like I’m a black sheep
