- Between you and eye
And now I know there's a place in my mind I go.
Secluded, where my head is quick but my heart is slow.
I bottle things up for too long waiting on someone to find me.
I'm a message lost in a sinking sea.
We all want to be found and held so close
so all that we know that is broken falls back together.
- Burn Victims
They say the things that love you will never stay, is that really true?
I guess you made everyone leave before they could hurt you, but who taught this to you?
Hurting people will always be hurting people, it was you that made me me
Every storm made me soak to find strong roots, I am reminded, I am reminded
All my roots are starting to show yet I'm still trying to grow
And I am reminded, I am reminded there is still hope
And I hope one day you will understand pain is just a brand
- Close Your Eyes And Look Away
The day burns darkest right before the dawn
As I've conflicted beliefs with my own
I am as guilty as every one of you
So prepare the fallout will lead us back through this nightmare
Today is the day to get through what you've been going through
Show no concern to those who never even try to learn
I pray. you. you all will find this as I've found this
And every time I forget. it finds me
- Have.Will
And I owe it all to you
This change must fall on your
Change for everyone else and you'll do things backwards
Nothing works out itself
Move on
So stop running away
I can feel you cause your feet are keeping time with me
How could anyone choose to live this way
- Hold On Pain Ends
And sometimes the most beautiful pain in life
is the kind you can't disguise or hide.
And the hard truth about life.
If I'm not allowed to give up on mine,
you are not allowed to not even try.
One day at a time you'll have to remake
the same decision as the one I made last night.
- Hole Hearted
Am I stuck inside my own mind or am I just an insect in amber
Frozen in a moment and forgotten in time
Where is my mind
I don't want the world to see me I want the world to see where it is I've been
I just want someone to feel like they can be something
There's got to be more than feeling this alone
I've been through enough to leave me alone
- Hopes Anchor
So this stays been cold.
The nights we'll share I long for
Why do we see with only our eyes
I won't quit I know that know that I truly tried
Every way on my own
We'll move on and on for the way will be unforgiving
We'll move on and on our own
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried
- Humannequin
(And I will) be there when you get home
And I will be there when you become all you hate
All you hate when you become
You have to see the floor
You have to see the floor before you
You can see the angels are reaching
Cross all the t's dot the I's this is your life
The contract expires when you die
- I, The Jury
There's a cure for all the dead,
In all the dead, all the dead.
It all started out as another failed attempt,
They all died underfed
For the sake of all that's failing,
I'd rather die on my knees
Than stand here with these same old
- In Light In Me
How am I supposed to write about hope with catchy hooks and melodies and make you sing along
Well I titled this whole album before I tried to write a song
And the truth is hope can be a burning sun
The closer that you seem to get the quicker you get lost in the sight of
It keeps casting it's shadow of our burdens behind us and the more we try stand inside the light
The more a darkness seems to grow
Is darkness the shade where I've found peace
- Learned Behavior
we are the same disease / one way too old / one way too young to treat / our feet stuck in the same concrete / we just want to be free / aren't you sick of knowing that you could truly be / something that stays and makes a difference before it leaves / aren't you sick of hearing all the pain in me / aren't you sick of being sick from the same disease / come to me with anything that you'll ever need / come to me when you're rebuilding / sometimes its good to build up walls / not to keep anyone out / but to see who cares enough to knock them down / we can start again with our names written in new cement / we can write the date right after we dig ourselves out of the messes we've made / you'll never know what you have until it's gone through hell for you / (chorus) / you'll never stop making mistakes but if you learn from them you will never make the same ones twice / next time there may be no next time / (chrous)
- Nerve Endings
Dreams are forever reoccurring
And life is what happens when we can't fall asleep
We need to bear one another's burdens
Real family and friends will always stab you in the front
The end result is not one damned thing after another
It's one damned thing over and over
We are condemned and this is how we learn
- Never Enders
And I'm too abused to walk away from this
Of all I've been through I just wouldn't change it
If I could go back in time and change everything
I wouldn't change a thing because it made me who I am
And I'm so confused
I don't seem to know what's real or what's make believe anymore but I must move forward for you
And do this all for you
Without you there is no me and I'll stay even if you choose to leave
- Saviorself
I wish I had more time to sort out all of this inside my mind
I only have one day
It's given at dawn and at dusk it gets taken away
I can't control what I think
So how can I control what I say
I don't know who I am at the moment and I can't pray
I can't pray for the answers anymore
- Silver Lining
Some days you're the pigeon and some days you are the statue
Some days you're meant to just sit back and observe
While the world takes its turn and just shits all over you
Some days you need the rain because no one gets paid
To come clean up the messes that life makes all over you
I don't know who I am in this moment
I know I disappoint you
You don't know who I am anymore
- Steadfast
We've been deserted that doesn't mean that we deserve it
Is it worth keeping ourselves at bay
Set sail you've spent way too much time living your life in exile
So say goodbye to the shoreline
Maybe if I'm sent off to sea I'll find out what this means to me
I've got a message I carry that I have forgotten to read
- Strange Comfort
I know I'm lost with no motivation to find my way back
I left myself down a paper trail of the pages of my mind, now I want them back,
I'm somewhere between no courage among the other things I lack
Lost in desperation where an ember turns to an ash
Somewhere along this path I crossed the line
Broken promises I've made without thinking twice
Left my second thought and reason behind
All in the name of making this world mine
- The Dying Hymn
So go ahead and turn away
See where it gets you in the long run.
I'm trying my hardest to grow
When it's embedded in your bones
It grows with.
Are we all punished for sins of fathers.
It seems so pointless to have an existence
- Walkers
We don't feel the world turn,
Take these steps in my days,
One at a time.
We all start the same dreams,
Don't try them, you're asleep.
(We all try to run from our problems
And straight to the answers.
- Walls
I feel at home with shadows from ghosts of the living
I dance along to melodies as silent choirs sing
I’m sick of always giving when there’s nothing left to lose
This place we’re in is breaking
It’s trying to break me too
I built these walls to keep the outside world from me
And I’ll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind
