- Against My Will
You're so proud yet not exactly where you wanted to be
Face down and sick of all this selfish self destruction
You didn't fail me, you were only upsetting yourself
You didn't change me, I was only trying to better myself
...and with a broken wrist
I maintained a grip on reality and anything that means
...anything to me.
- As I Lay In Silence
So the story was told to me with patience.
Oblivious to your eyes as I lay in silence.
If memory serves me right... you're unkind, impatient,
but then again just who am I to describe the failings of a lesser being.
Now just one innocent lie (while the world is fading)
won't comfort this little child of mine.
How then on the day that you lied I could see it in the whites of your eyes?
- Bad Advice
Give all the bad advice you can, the kind I like to take
Are we not, satisfied with the price of our old mistakes?
If ...
inRead invented by Teads
If adolescent crimes
Circumstance resigned
- Compromise
I will if you will
Lead I will follow
Meet in the middle somewhere
Above the hollow
You delay...
What are you waiting on me?
Know the wait...
Know the waiting in vain
- Concrete Island
The sun sets in the west
A habit it hasn't quit quite yet
He never wanted part of the world
..tried not to ask for anything.
How will he ever start to fight the flow?
Whatever happened to 'nature always wins'?
We won't be happy 'til we've paved over everything
- Find the Definition
Well, it's OK to have another side
It's alright if you want to live another life
You put your mask on
one, then the other
It is OK... It is alright my brothers, it IS!
It's natural in this little game that i like to call 'life'
It's natural!
You've got to face it with no strife
- Hollow Eyes
lying in a bed we've made
there's simply no use in driving on any further into the unknown
where what we find is beyond all reason
my old friend darkness, where had you gone?
it's been so long but i can recognize your hollow eyes
come closer, still
you were so beautiful inside
why would you let that hide behind your eyes?
- In Our Own Way
You say i've changed...
Ley's hope it's true.
Should it stay the same...or change?
Does it feel better now?
Did you get it off your mind?
Could you have left it all?
If you had everything,
could you leave it all behind...to blaze a new way?
- Keep Digging
Somewhere in my recollection...
I recall a very young man sitting on his hands and knees,
sitting there so submissively.
He was clawing at the dirt.
He held up a single bloodied finger to the sky and he said..
he looked at me and said..
"Crazy, you think I'm crazy? I'LL SHOW YOU CRAZY!
Y'know I LOVE this shit!
- Regression in Unison
Don't overlook coincidence
you might miss what you had found
Don't overstate the obvious
there's enough of that around
I remember the lessons learned
all of the ones said so silently
you ask for suggestion
- Revolvolution
How simple circles seem
How complex is a dream
what do you remember
(remember, try to remember)
(revolve, devolve)
with severed wings I still
search 'oer and under hill
- Self Control
Fill me in...
...just how far did you fall?
...as you tripped to rock bottom edge...
Was it real?
Could you feel anything?
Was there blood?
Was there sand?
- Spectrum
I will if you will
Lead I will follow
Meet in the middle somewhere,
above the hollow
You delay...
What, are you waiting on me?
Know the wait.
Know the waiting is in wain
- The Great Divide
Of a countless ways this could have gone...
Of a thousand paths we should have run...
How was it decided that we may end on thorns and empty words?
Who is in charge here and who could have chosen the right amongst these ways?
Your serpents tongue spits bile for miles and miles...(but)
Somewhere along the way you showed me something beautiful
HERE WE ARE, standing on the edge of a great divide
- THERE IS NO GREY..
If the setting looks a little familiar...
If this day just seems a little too well rehearsed...
well, line up the suspects in this game.
Now did it sound a little condescending?
Maybe the signals that I'm sending were not quite well received,
that's a possibility.
How did we arrive?
How have we survived for all this time?
- This Room
Well, there is something about this room
Is it in the way the shadows move?
Could it be the dance of the flame from another room?
Is it the light of a new moon?
The darkness is what I am accustomed to...
Just once I want to step back and watch forever move
Never have to choose
- Through My Eyes
You hold yourself high over everyone else like a sickness that just won't heal.
We live our lives under you, hypnotized by a truth, a fragrance of what's to come you feel....
You could never fall apart, so many eyes are on you now
You could never see this clear, no matter where you are
You could never let us live, cause right from the start
You leave us with broken hearts...cause you've spent...
- Transference
Her healing hands and starlit eyes could cool the calmest
With a broken heart, and a birth mark of a third eye
She'll heal your broken nerves
You forget (forget what?)
...just what you fell for in the first place.
I may never be a moutain..
though I, well I've been here just as long
...all this while
- Unyielding
Were we so far gone?
You never... never had the nerve to say a word
One step from the the bounds of reason
One step from the edge of absurd
Taking a moment to reflect upon just where I stand
So much that I still can't see through this war torn horizon
Give up, there was always bound to be a better laid plan
Pay no mind to dissension amongst them
