You’re living for today, but your future is looking bleak. One day it’ll all come crashing down.
Nothing lasts forever. You’ve only planned for the here and now.
I said: Nothing lasts forever. Live fast, die young.

Live fast and die young. It’s what’s ahead, but just remember:
slow and steady wins the race, so pick your head up and keep your mouth shut.

You are the captor of originality. You are the thief of authenticity.

Don't you understand me?
Don't you understand me?
This cloud over my head
It's not okay
It's not okay...

There are things that I need to get done.
Need to get done...

Suffocation
Suffocate with, with no room to breath

Forgive us for now is too late
This is not an American dream
This is no longer an American dream
This is no longer an American dream

How must you feel up there
So exalted, it's like a hardy attitude
Know ones inferior
To your ones words within the script
After it's so you have a footing
To thoughts you do not have permission, do not have permission
Who can you license to pour endowed thoughts
Bringing them all shame for their pervasion, disposition

Oh baby baby how was I supposed to know?
That something wasn't right here,
Oh baby baby I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby cuz I need to know now oh because

My loneliness is killing me and I,

Convictions to the back burner.
Remembering what's really important isn't so important after all.
Gather all your possessions, and smile because you've got it all.
Still that empty feeling won't go away.
Your puzzle's missing one very essential piece, and I know you'll keep looking in all the wrong places until it's too late.
Slip on the ice again.
When did you become so cold? Living for the here and now never made so much sense.
You think you've got all the time in the world, but this could all be ending now.

Witness the blind now leading the enraged
Losing our sight, we've lost our way
We find ourselves welcoming moral decay
We have lost our way
Entombed by deception
We find lies where there is nothing but truth
We find lies
Thoughts of conceding are wasted on our youth

Chaos brings order. Who will you allow to lead you blindly till the end? You're like a little girl with a stupid crush. We all sing glory. We all choke ourselves with our own ignorance. There is so much more to life than your stupid desires. Nothing is everything and everything is something. Confused? Troubled? Find the meaning is looking through the vivid transparencies. Dance the night away because tomorrow we will look back and talk about good times now gone forever. Trace lines around the image of your choice. Dance until the end my friend and find joy in every living thing. Optimism is not a choice, it's a belief.

You've fallen captive to what you thought would save you, what you thought would clean your slate.
You're in the thick of it now and you have swallowed the hook.
What's done is done.
We'll continue on with or without you.
Pain must exist in order for healing to survive.
Neither one will ever serve their purpose alone.
You've fallen in love with a dream you've never had.
You've fallen in love with a surreal way of living.

You have, you have picked the wrong mark
You tried, you tried to pull an inside job
You're a thief
Of a different kind
One who preys
On those fighting to stay alive
Pull your hand back
Or lose the sense of touch

There is no hope for me, at least I know
I know what I believe, and now I see
No longer will we be fooled, you say
There is no hope for me, at least I know
I know what I believe, and now I see
No longer will we be fooled

White skin, white teeth, black heart, black lungs

Reborn...

Where do we go to escape the end of the world?
Did we, the dogs, open fire that you would cast this rainstorm over above our heads?
This crushing loss that brings us to our knees.

Is there a way to live again when there’s nowhere to run?
Is there a way to live again when there’s no way to go on?

Hark how the bells,
sweet silver bells,
all seem to say,
throw cares away
Christmas is here,
bringing good cheer,
to young and old,
meek and the bold,

I’ve thrown away all of my outside distractions.
I’m diving headfirst to chase a dream that I won’t let go.
It’s worthless - a waste of time. This goal is out of reach. You better fall back in line.
This is what I need. You are what I need.
I need motivation to prove you wrong, and I will prove you wrong.
What makes you think that you are different?
How can you chase these dreams? They’ve become a chore.
I know I’m close. I’m almost there.

Living in a world of regrets.
You never wanted this and you never will [x2]
Watching your mirror image, drowning in a lake of your own sorrows, your own sorrows.
But we will pray, that you will pray, you will look toward the skies.
Look toward the skies, which covers you, like blankets, and see his open arms.
Look toward the skies.
Look toward the skies.

Shake it off.
Pick yourself up, they say.
Your life fell apart in your hands, and you’ve got the scars to prove it.
It’s not the first time, and they’re getting deeper.
Pull it together.
Button up your shirt.
Roll down those sleeves.
Don’t let them see how you’ve coped.

A front seat to your own flick,
if only you could see how much your emotions waver.
Words are flowing from your mouth at lightning speed.
They're packing heat and are ready to kill.
Cry, frown, hit, yell.
Let's watch where it takes you.
You really don't have it that bad.
Try looking through the glass of beauty.

I want to believe these words are more than letters to me
I want to believe a covenant to stand the battlefield of time
Many times I've written words holding me to stay pure
Where is the truth in these motions, afterwards feeling motionless?
Motionless, I keep breaking my promises
I keep breaking my word to you and I
I keep breaking my promises
Once again, I'm letting you down

This is a barren wasteland
A lonely place where inspiration goes to die

Rescue the beauty that's left
Restore the character that's long since gone
Because these colors must never fade
This beat must carry on

I used to be so young and invincible.
The mistakes of my youth are finally catching up to me.
The face that stares back in the mirror should carry nothing but pride.
As the days go by, it's getting harder to hold my head up high.
I've never been so tired,
I've never felt so weak,
But I swear to you that I'm not giving up.
My storied life is coming to a graceful descent.

Silence is a frustrating answer when all you want is a sign.
Silence is a frustrating answer when all you wanted is a sign.

It’s hard to be surrounded by the ones that you love when they keep passing you by.
(passing you by)

Beneath the tough facade I know that we are getting through.
None of us are ready to just remember you.

Burning bridges we're halfway across
There's no light at the end
There's no safety in turning back
Our heals are dug in
Tensions are deep within
We've been trading blows now everyone is bloody
There are no more innocents
We've been trading blows now everyone is bloody

Tonight I saw a father's love, in waves, start to rise
I will not stand by and watch what I made be demonized
He insists you dug a hole, a hole of bitterness
A rock and a hard place sounds easy compared to this
Righteous wrath
Righteous wrath wrapped in empathy
Like a hurricane passing over a calming sea
Righteous wrath

Take care of the care taker
Say these words before you meet your maker
Take care of the care taker
This catastrophe
Has been years in the making
They saw the advantage
You were there for the taking
Carry the guilt

What have I done?
What have I done?
Above the grave of a stranger,
These words were never heard.

I put my feet in the shoes of another man.
You were wronged, let down and defeated.
Death cheated and played you like a fool.

The pressure is endless
The tension is pounding
Life change after life change
It's too much for me to take
While mourning the loss I am forced to celebrate
Celebrate new life, celebrate new life
When is it too much?
When is it enough?

Skyscrapers, Earthmovers, Ground Breakers
Our buildings rival the Heavens
Our bridges span the seas
Ingenuity is so cunning
Innovation is not ours
Creativity is a luxury
We build with our hands what we have in our hearts
Fight the Avalanche

Restart your heart
Fill your lungs with this oxygen
Restart your heart, so you are filled with life again
If we could turn back time, stop your decline
Piece you back together until you've been revived
We have one more minute to hear your thoughts (to hear your thoughts)
How did you remain so strong?
So many questions left unanswered

Just take it in stride.
One breath and I think I feel free.
All we can do is strive for the best thoughts,
the best feelings, the "warm fuzzy" feeling.
As a child, I believed these all came to me due to the process of living.
Grab the wheel right now, and make this life yours.
Walk with me.
Leave your disgusting fever.

Ordinary men don't find their own way (find their own way)
It's in the struggle that we can finally see
I'll never forget how I felt so far away
When fear waged war and wore down on me

What do you say when you can't get the words out
Can you hear me
Don't let me down

This hollow feeling,
The knowledge that you exist
Amidst your insecurities.
Cover up only to coward out,
And never shutting up
Only to never speak aloud.
Have you dried up entirely?

Stuck in the past
The future is too open ended (too open ended)
I can't miss
Something that never existed (never existed)
I'll keep persisting

The outcomes don't always go my way
I still can't cover them, and make them gray

We all hurt. We all need. We all cry. We all bleed. Their dreams, their desires, they consume me. The good, the bad, the ugly aren't too much to take. I've been put in this position, but now I can't bear to leave. Stand here with me. Together we'll get through this. Stand here with me, and we'll wash it all away. Without you I'm nothing. Yes, I've come to understand this. Without you I'm worthless. Yes, I've come to understand this. I've been handed my life by you. The least I can do is listen. Pull me aside, and step inside. I'll listen to your horror stories. Let this song be your motivation. Let your life be your inspiration. You can't hide your fear in this chorus forever. If I could do more I promise you I would, but this is your time now. Whisper your grief. Scream your sorrow. Proclaim your love. Just don't call me your hero. Tell me your stories. I'll lend you my ears. Tell me your horror. I'll make it disappear. I'm absorbing the impact of the young at heart. We all hurt. We all need. We all cry, and we all bleed. We have hope.

(There is a) world out there
That doesn't care about the problems in your head
The disbelief you can't conceive
(Is what clouds your thoughts with dread)
Backstabbers roam the streets
(Prowling for their next kill)
Disregard for human life (powers how they feel)
Fool's gold in the bear trap

We are the ghosts of the midway, the beasts of the alley
We are the living dead, living in your nightmares
Scraping ourselves from the earth
Living as though we are dirt
Staring like you’ve seen a ghost
The lowest of the low with nowhere to go

Back from the dead, now we’re groveling at your feet

Do you know how it feels to hide
with thoughts repressed deep down inside?
I guess you just loved the lie
Truth is, you can't decide where my heart resides

You want to cure me of this epidemic, you call me sick
I wish I had said it, the words to admit to you who I am
My entire life, I was dealt the wrong hand

[feat. clean sung guest vocals by Tommy Rogers of Between the Buried and Me]

This plane's going down in flames, and this time there's no black box to capture your last words.
A situation we can't make any sense of. Sacrifice costs all of us everything.
This is the time to turn down our heads and turn up our hearts.
There's no scale to...(there's no scale to...) balance this out.
Some say may those who curse days, curse this day.
There's no scale to...(there's no scale to...) balance this out.

I’ve feared the deepest darkest secrets that live inside of me.
Defeat and tragedy, walking in shame, finding nowhere to hide.
I’ve thrown my bottles of guilt into the sea, hoping the waves carry them away
from me.

Oh....

My heart is beating. I’ll never stop fighting. I’ll keep breathing...

Wounded and tired and worried
It's like fighting an invisible enemy
Wounded and tired and worried
What lies ahead you thought you'd never see
No one wants to end up in the clouds
You can't lose a battle you could never win
You can't finish a fight without the strength within
Beliefs set aside, the uncertainty is what's truly terrifying

You have become a malicious liar that breaths for attention,
playing charades, wearing the head of a lamb. My days consumed by nights of you.
Howling at the moon as if you were wounded, but no,
you’re the one showing teeth, ready to feast on newborn beginnings as you cry wolf.
Howling at the moon, but no, you’re showing teeth.
We know. You’re ready to feast on newborn beginnings as you cry wolf.

8,064 hours of conspiracies. 200 months which brings me 17 years of lies and betrayal.

I bring myself to my knees, so that I can see, the worst within me
You dance around my life oh so many times
I've been searching so long across, this map, and even through the shadows
So lovely, so blind, oh truth, you're so divine

I will climb this mountain to find you
I will search far and wide
I will climb this mountain to find you before running out of time

This ship is sinking, deeper and deeper.
We've abandoned this vessel and left the captain for dead.
Waves thirst for our passing. Waves thirst for our passing.
Prepare for the struggle. Prepare to engage.
Our armor tight to the skin, this shield it bears His name.
We are strapped to the teeth, but our swords are lodged tightly in our throats.
We are going under.
We cannot swim under these conditions.

This moment will too pass us by.
It's this notion inside all of us to prioritize through our selfish eyes.
To be the bull behind the rampage, the reason for all the riot.

We'll feed our flame before wasting time on everyone else's, with more problems and less pride.
We'll feed our flame before wasting time on everyone else's, the gallows were not supposed to look like this.

Oh God, we live in misery, lying here in desperation.

It all happened so fast.
Speeding off into the distance.
That night I wish you could have taken control.
To steer clear from your last breath.
Such a short 18 years, gone in the blink of an eye.
Oxygen is escaping.
Your fate is embracing.
This road tells a story of a life cut short.

GO!

Everything looks the same.
It's all so watered down.
Where does our anchor lie?
Where does our anchor lie?

Yeah!

Closed off, we wake from the dusk... (the dusk)
only to step out into open air, just to see the same clouds opening. (Yahh)
Into open air... only to step out...

If this is a place people dream of, (people dream of)
insomnia is the only cure - the only antidote.
You’ve been deceived into thinking this is the perfect life.
It’s an illusion to your perception. You’ve been deceived.

Bite your tongue until it bleeds.
This pain is worth more than what you have to say.
Swallow your pride because silence is golden,
And I wouldn't pay a penny to hear your thoughts.

Lie down your guard and surrender.
All that you're proving is your ignorance. (2x)

Are you walking through fire?
You have a friend
Are you stuck in a nightmare?
My friend, you have a light to make it end
Walking through fire
You have a friend
Stuck in a nightmare
There's a light to make it end

You stand up pridefully in front of thousands, screaming words of justice and truth.
You wear a mask of this city’s hero. You are the pretender.
You fake, you fake, but fortunate. You wear a mask of this city’s hero.
You fake, you fake, but fortunate. You are the pretender.

Your weak speech lines your gums with gold teeth, yet you don’t believe in a word that you say.
You’re speaking shackles to life. Self-rightheousness is your demise.

You give us dreams to wake us up
You say, take pride in the provision
When all we see is the face of defeat you say
Take pride in the provision
My future's finally found me, figured me out
It's painful, it's tough, I never saw it coming
Come as it may, because all of this life is a lesson
I'd rather learn than end up in a cold covered up dark grave

See yourself to the exit.
We can't afford to watch you resort to this (resort to this).
Even hope hides in the shadows. Nothing is real.
Color is black, is white, is color blind.
Tucking away what's true, what's tangible. Nothing is real.
Color is black, is white, is color blind. T
Tucking away what's true, what's tangible...
You're crashing faster, and there won't be pieces to piece back together this time.

I trust in you for life to live, and air to breath.
Purity fills my lungs.
I no longer live in solitude.
No longer bound.
My heart beats with great devotion.
This is the start to a new beginning.
On my knees praying for mercy.
Hands raised high, humble and broken.

This incident was an invitation to a new beginning
I must admit defeat and submit to the truth that is here
The darkness has stricken me with fear
I've been slipping
This time I finally fell
I'm defying the rails on the stairway to hell
There are problems and then there's rock bottom
I think I've finally made my entrance

This place isn't meant for people like you
Spouting ideals for your fans to consume
You're insignificant, like an ant in the midst of elephants
You're all the same
You know you won't last forever
You're all the same
A flavor of the week is how you'll be remembered
You're all the same

This place isn't meant for people like you
Spouting ideals for your fans to consume
You're insignificant, like an ant in the midst of elephants
You're all the same
You know you won't last forever
You're all the same
A flavor of the week is how you'll be remembered
You're all the same

[Chorus]
Staring at the walls to pass the time
Pinch myself make sure I'm still alive
I'm not alright
It's become a disguise
Friends and family, I'm losing all ties
Staring at the walls to pass the time
Pinch myself; make sure I'm still alive

All these ideas keep swimming, running through your head.
Quick, we’ll drown them with this fix.
The dose to stop your shaking, the one to silence your voice.
Just take it and you’ll be fine.
Calm, relaxed, obedient, just the way we want you.
Your thoughts are ours to manipulate.
Your actions are ours to control.
Your opinions are a thing of the past, so tilt your head back and swallow this.

The fear is what shelters them.
It’s what shades their eyes and muffles their ears.
The fear is what shelters them.
It’s what shades their eyes and muffles their ears.
Keep them inside.
Lock them up in a closet known as home.
In here no one can find them.
In here no one can fill them with filth.

I watched you from the sky
As populations rise
Feasting on Earth like flies
Ensuring your demise
Generations repeating the pattern
Their stories told but never changed their minds
A life of excess, keep feeding the glutton
Bask in filth like a hoard of swine

We've heard the sound that ears bleed to hear.
The sound of a place the entire universe awaits.
A passion so powerful that walls crumble to their foundations.
Here the strongest fall to their knees.
The lost find their way back home,
But the masses buy what will make them rich,
Feasting on lies, chasing their tails.
Truth be told, they'll get what they were promised.

Open your closed mind. (Open your closed mind.)
Close your open mouth.
You're pushing more than you're pulling.
Every word that you say passes through my...
Open your closed mind.
Close your open mouth.
You're pushing more than you're pulling.
Every word that you say passes through my.. ears.. before it even escapes your lips.

Soft memories of a life well lived.
I'm thinking back and loving every moment I had.
This dull feeling is working through me, and every waking moment is more static.
As I step onto my porch of reflection, a brief wind of warmth is swept through me.
We succeed in order to bring forth order in our lives.
You have all felt it - the emptiness of being alone.
Zoloft will not cure it, human touch will not solve it.
This black, cold world is potent.

I can no longer tell the days from the nights.
The moon glows an eerie red and I could swear it was covered in blood.
Something big is going to happen
something so big it could forever change the world.
What have you all done?
What have you all become?
A people more concerned with the temporary pleasures of this world
rather than your own eternal salvation?

Hindsight is perfect vision.
The past is easiest to see.
Clear a path, Stand aside.
We’re carrying the torch now,
There’s no stopping us.
You think you’re everything to everyone.
Go ahead, Partake in it,Justify it.
Become engulfed in it.

You are infatuated with what consumes you.
Put the victim on the front lines and left for dead.
Stop acting like there’s no...
no other option but to let the waves carry you away.
Can you hold the water responsible for your wayward behavior, any more than it blames you for its gripping currents? Erase the proof...
erase the proof but your shame will remain.
Your shame will remain...
will remain...

Destroy everything cleanse
Wipe away the filth
Set fire to your waste
Burn everything
Back into dirt
Burn everything

Flood, drown the earth

Back of the pack with the wind in our face
Control and dictate our own pace
We figured out how much we can take
This is our chance (this is our chance) to break out
Trials are the ties that bind
They hold us together in the darkest of times
Hardships can be used to harden our bonds
We'll learn from our grief, and carry on (carry on)

Some kind of friction has scarred me, but created your new style.
My reasons to endure used to be based around who you were,
and your brilliant passion that could blaze right in front of a perfect stranger.

This is my downfall - my blemish.
This is my downfall - my blemish, I've been told...
This is my downfall - my blemish, I've been told before.

As I follow you, where will you lead me?
To the ends of the world, or is that just the beginning?
I've rolled through villages
And done my best to pass on your name
How much is too much?
How far is too far?
As I push on and leave everything behind
The front line swears I'm going into battle blind

Pushed up against the ropes, you wouldn’t last another round.
I never wished for you to suffer like this.
You would not listen.
We will survive, the strong, the fortunate, the never ending.
We will survive through thick and thin.
Looking in the mirror, seeing a trouble reflection.
This is our darkest hour.
Remember what you said when we waved our goodbyes.

Wave goodbye, as we turn our backs on our past
Wave goodbye, cut our future short to pave a new path
Wave goodbye, we dropped it all on a dime to be on our own
Wave goodbye, as we make the escape into the unknown

We pushed through shattering expectations
Filled with dreams, filled with heartache

This building is barley standing on its own foundation.
I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart and sucked the life out of this for all of Sunday to see.
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe, everything they hold true.
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort.
No one gets the point.
Welcome to my dying home.
Welcome inside these crumbling walls.
A meaningless handshake greets them all with smiles of false hope.

Push your controlling values aside, and dissect your own life.
It's not about my beliefs. It's about personal choice.
It breaks your heart to see me consume, but it shatters mine to see people follow you.
Ask me to be blameless. You ask me to be blameless.
You ask me to be blameless, but who are you to decide what's right?
Don't say another word.
Don't say another word. You've crossed the line.
Don't say another word. You've crossed the line.

Open those eyes.
Wake from peace.
Orders are some favorite color.
Same old same old is their battle cry.
Why don't we keep searching for a new flavor?
Our hearts have become a routine.
Worthy kings have broken backs for nothing.
Unless we cherish all with pride,
