Hold Your Own 04:02
lyrics
This addiction's self-sufficient This affliction, coalescent Buried under your decision Fertilized by your derision Cultivated, subdivision Growing fear inside, it takes it's toll Maybe a deeper hole will fill you up again You put me in my place to comfort You put me in my place to hold your own Dereliction, so proficient Contradiction, ever present Petrified by resolution Intensified with no solution Wilting in the disillusion Growing fear inside, it takes it's toll Maybe a deeper hole will fill you up again Looking back I hope you get hurt Looking at your mountain of dirt Put me in my place to comfort Put me in my place to hold your own

Won't be long before you cut me down And break my stride, I believe it You go off, screaming in my ear Your crazy ride, I can't leave it so soon How could you twist a little boy's arm Watch what you say integrate Don't lay a hand, don't give a damn Watch what you say Or lose love to fear Won't be long before you mix me up I fantasize, I am weakness I am the same old man, same old rule Same old tale that bears repeating How could you twist a little boy's arm Watch what you say integrate Don't lay a hand, don't give a damn Watch what you say Or lose love to fear Why must it be this way Why can't I turn away Why can't I make a change Again So I fail my son Won't be long before he sings my song My head's too strong It won't be long How could you twist a little boy's arm Watch what you say integrate I thought you'd be a little sorry To lose love to fear Don't lay a hand, don't give a damn Watch what you say Or lose love to fear

Ignoramus 04:22
lyrics

So far from reason, closer to what I might lose What was I thinking letting the children chose to wander in the sun Reaching a hand in, feeling around for the switch Thoughts disconnected, it's already started to come unhinged Is it time to go You want to be out there on your own I think you are right where you belong So forgive me Should have just come clean, held every word in my head It's too late to stop You are sifting through debris instead It's all that you have from me All I could give to be here You want to be out there on your own Maybe it's been that way too long I think you are right where you belong So forgive me Wish I could change it, wish I could swallow my pride Hope for the best things, hope that you won't have to die for me

Lead On 04:52
lyrics

It's keeping you up at night The light that shines in your cell Relive every minute, every regret In this hell What if you rise tomorrow Finally swallow and it all seems okay Do you think you'll be okay A single ray The softest sound Stepping on my dream to lead them on It's about time It's about signs You don't take to reading Leading on The spiral spins around and round and round Just look at you go down now It's a time bomb You should be scared What if you see the light Escape tonight Find that our sin's equal This makes us even, even

Mother 05:15
lyrics

I really hope you're listening Not even worth denying All your time, all your time is gone You know the best thing for you Is not the best thing for us Come down and look me in the eye Does it matter where it's from, let it rain You never see it when it comes, let it rain I'll suck the air out of your lungs I'll raze the pedestal you're on I'll take a life and carry on Let it rain How is it nothing's working I think you need protecting Always on, yeah, you're always on I saw so many colors All of it you've covered up in gray Why should I let you stay Now that Eden's turned a slum, let it rain You wanted all, I gave you some, let it rain I'll burn the oceans rising up And drown the horse you're riding on I'll take your life and carry on So let it rain I know you can't be listening No matter how loud I scream You do what you do best So go ahead and plunder Tear at me and wonder Where and when will it all end It doesn't matter where it's from, let it rain You'll never see it when it comes, let it rain Now that Eden's turned a slum, let it rain You wanted all and needed none, let it rain I'll take your life and carry on (x2) I gave you life to carry on And let it rain

Dead Hands 05:29
lyrics

When the air is all clear We will find out what you're made of When the blood is dry The childish fears emerge Afraid of what you'll lose Instead of what's now lost With your cold, dead hands and simple plans With dead hands, you can't let go With the next at the door This is what you've waited for So take the shot, take them out Take a bow, cuz now you've won So hit the floor Lift me Sore, red eyes Failing, buried Twisted paradigm Arming, buried

One In The Same 03:53
lyrics

I can't breathe, so you take me Strange new low, now makes you cold I can't see, makes you golden Want to break out and take you under And I want to fight And I want to save And it's all a waste, you oughta know And I'm gonna lie I'm gonna sell I'm gonna take it once you let it go I can't feel, don't you get me? Stayed too low, now makes you crawl And I'm gonna lie And I'm gonna sell And I'm gonna tame you, heart and soul We're one in the same We're feeling alive And I'm gonna take it once you let it go And I'm gonna lie I'm not gonna care And I'm gonna tame you, heart and soul And I want to fight And I want to save No matter the price We're one in the same

Hurts Like Home 06:11
lyrics

Smoke-filled shadows Riding waves down on the floor In pools of carmine With a bleeder at the door It defies all explanation The right chemical's in place If I had one reservation It's the look upon your face When I hear run, run, run, run, and I hear And you run, run, run, run, now you Hurt like home It's all right to spend my life It's all right to push me through I keep my hell to myself I keep my hell to myself In my temple, alone An empty chamber ascends Maybe I should start there Blinding flashes Light the way down Tripping bodies A padding on the ground It's the point of my fixation It's the chemical I taste As strong as my predation Never goes to waste When I hear run, run, run, run, and I hear And you run, run, run, run, now you hurt like home It's all right to spend my life It's all right to push me through I keep my hell to myself I keep my hell to myself In my temple, alone An empty chamber ascends Until I make it back home Aim, once you know Fame, once you know Saved, once you know It hurts like home Maybe I should start there

Slipstream, Part 1 04:30
lyrics

I didn't want to be the one to get caught I went along for the ride Yeah, I feel the pull, the weight, the conflict I couldn't leave it if I tried, no Here I am between Gently floating in and out of starlight Here I am machine Gently floating in and out of starlight Swiftly moving through the nebula My mind is racing for the finish I took a pill to lift my head I just want to ride along and pretend to know what is going on I should have known better to think it I could have lived it for myself, yeah Here I am between Gently floating in and out of starlight Here I am machine Gently floating in and out of starlight Swiftly moving through the nebulous skies Here I am Just this once, in my deepest state Just this once, let my will escape Just this once Is this my last reply, I need to fly it home Here I am in between, I am machine, alone The space overwhelming me Gently floating in and out of starlight Swiftly moving through the nebulous skies I didn't mean to get so caught up I was just along for the ride I want to try and go the distance I want to try and see the light

Underdose 04:31
lyrics

What if all my senses could allow me What if every new sensation bound me Locked inside The sinners call Dropping lower than I can fall Tell you one thing when I'm on the rebound I'm gonna kick myself I'm gonna wish I could Underdoses Under dark skies Under your spell now Everything I'm holding tries to get loose Every time I wake up I'm about to Hide the wounds and stop the blood Need more than I ever should Tell you one thing when I reach the ground I'm gonna kick myself I'm gonna wish I could Underdoses Under dark skies Under your spell now One is good, one is great One is lost, one I take One too many, one too often One is all I need to get off I'm gonna kick myself I'm gonna wish I could Underdoses Under dark skies Under your spell now
