Fracture

We had a dream but we let it fade It wasn't meant to be this way Different eyes but the same perspective Compromise is the only real change Here we stand in the midst of it all A union divided, a kingdom will fall The freedom to believe A fight we must succeed Is anyone listening? Screaming out but we don't see the effect Do we accept it? No Do we believe it? No No one's giving up, we fight to the end It's not a question It's a given Here we stand in the midst of it all Amend the broken trail of deadly control To find our path Led by the broken on a road to collapse We need out now We need out Screaming out but we don't see the effect Do we accept it? No Do we believe it? No Screaming out but we don't see the effect Do we accept it? No Do we believe it? No No one's giving up, we fight to the end It's not a question It's a given Led by the broken on a road to collapse We need out now Or endure the friction in disguise We need out now Push the hand until it can't push back Till we see the structures crack We need out Screaming out but we don't see the effect Do we accept it? No Do we believe it? No No one's giving up, we fight to the end It's not a question We'll find our path Led by the broken on a road to collapse We need out now We need out

This lesson will never be learned A target on the back of those who stand and oppose Denial, refusal to obey A beckoning promise for the change we've made Do they hear us? Do they want to believe? Their primitive views will see us dead on our knees We're living to escape reality Regardless of the consequence We are the voice, we are the voice Of a voiceless generation The one who stands is the one who dies first Watching every step we take So far from the truth, too close to the edge I watch you fall away We're bitter down to the bone Point the finger but the blame is your own Emptiness, a hole inside Everyday we're breathing in the mess that you hide Do they fear us? Are we the disease? Turning into something that we cannot erase But you will never see No you will never see Desperation burns in our veins We fall away The cracks in the sky will continue to spread You let yourself believe it's the voices in our heads The one who stands is the one who dies first Watching every step we take So far from the truth, too close to the edge I watch you fall away This sunken sky won't hold the weight We must reset Before it's too late When there's no one left to be saved What the fuck is the solution? Violence is not the answer We're knee deep in our graves The cracks in the sky will fall away

I should've known, saw it was dark from the start Not what was but what surrounded my heart I'll walk these roads alone, barefoot and worn to the bone A partner to pain, confusion, disdain For I can see what was not meant to be No lies just defeat We're nothing but fractures And I can't tell you how I want it to be It fell apart at the seams We are cracked and fractured Caught between right and wrong The desire to be was far too strong In dissonance we connect, this future I reject I tore a hole in myself to fit you in I clawed at the walls we built to wear them thin But there was nothing on either side for me Only the hurt I dragged us through I failed us all, ignored the call Carry me out of the blue, to this depression I fall For I can see what was not meant to be No lies just defeat We're nothing but fractures And I can't tell you how I want it to be It fell apart at the seams We are cracked and fractured I edge closer to the grave No-one left to save Soon I'll be gone and peace will be made I'm drowning, I can't reach the air It's true, salvation is a myth Why do we chase that which we cannot grip? For I can see what was not meant to be And I can't tell you how I want it to be Fuck it I tore a hole in myself to fit you in

We see maps of distress, as the fires continue to spread Awaken the crimson light, for all to see We are the face of arrogance without a voice In denial of the truth, we had a choice A wave of fists aimed at all in our sight There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide Viral hysteria, no emotion attached The thoughts of the culprit etched in the glass For all to see You will fall to your knees And breathe in the fire that welcomes the new age For all to see Will you wait to be saved For the taste of desire, this hunger will not set you free For all to see Protest, distress, nothing gained in the road to acclaim Viral hysteria, no emotion attached The thoughts of the culprit etched in the glass We will not lose hope We won't give up Facing the hell that we made For all to see You will fall to your knees And breathe in the fire that welcomes the new age For all to see Will you wait to be saved For the taste of desire, this hunger will not set you free Awaken the crimson light The pulse of existence tears holes in the night Slaves to greed, resistant to fight Nowhere to hide The battle lines that circumscribe draw too close together A wind where only flames reside We are the face of arrogance without a voice In denial of the truth, we made a choice For all to see

There's a reason I can't look you in the eye Living in ignorance, a cruel disguise Pockets full of greed, to see what hatred breeds We must break the mask of pride Strip the walls of satisfaction Abide and comply We built their pillars of gold How will we survive? I watch the sun drain through the cracks in the sky I'll let you burn for all our hope was denied Watch as the sun drains through the cracks in the sky Return to bone, ascend into the night (There's a reason why we preach hate) ('Cause we're divided by our own disdain) (Are we waiting to be saved?) Or are we shattered by the truth we face? Witness truth in devastation Abide or deny The script was written in stone We're prisoners in our minds I feel the odds stacked against me Unmistakable, unforgivable Egos built on our paper fields We break the mask of pride We built these pillars of gold How did we survive? I watch the sun drain through the cracks in the sky I'll let you burn for all our hope was denied Watch as the sun drains through the cracks in the sky Return to bone, ascend into the night (Ascend into the night) I watch the sun drain through the cracks in the sky Return to bone, ascend into the night There's a reason why we preach hate We're divided by our own disdain Are we waiting to be saved? Shattered by the truth we face Ascend Ascend Ascend Ascend into the night

We are silent no more, for we have answered the call It was a promise of change that's bought us back to the fold We could see it, could we conceive it? (Yeah) It's a product of everything we believe in Now it's time to set the record straight once and for all This is for the broken, this is the call I won't break, I've suffered under all this weight Continue to defy those opposed and rise above the rest I see that we are blessed In this Utopia When the seed starts to grow through the cracks it will show That's when the focus will change, no longer bound in stone For the first time we could feel it (Yeah) It's a product of everything we believe in A sacrifice was made to end it all Now cut the noose and learn to break the fall They'll twist the knife but now we're in control I won't break, I've suffered under all this weight Continue to defy those opposed and rise above the rest I see that we are blessed In this Utopia I'm born again with a fist full of rage To set the record straight once and for all This is for the broken, this is our call I see that we are blessed In this Utopia Defy those opposed, rise above the rest In this Utopia I see that we are blessed In this Utopia Defy those opposed, rise above the rest In this Utopia

Gasping for air Beyond my control I have witnessed the cost Of the curse we dragged below A mask to disguise the face inside And silence a restless mind I'm fighting a war that no one can see But I will not accept defeat Gravity Weighs so heavy I am shattering But the pieces are a part of me Set me free Pushing down, this burden we bear A depth that no one dares The eyes still reflect The pain that we hide But the exits are never there Now the curse starts to breed inside When your thoughts become so richly dark The wreckage will leave its mark Still fighting a war that no one can win But we cannot let it in All the light we cannot see, it lies within Gravity Weighs so heavy I am shattering But the pieces are a part of me Set me free Pushing down, this burden we bear A depth that no one dares To fall is to find your way We don't stand a chance If we cannot see a reason to live, a reason to believe I will not let this consume me I draw my eyes to the fire Digging into flesh to find what lies within All the light we cannot see We cannot let it in, we will not let it win Rip off the layers and rebuild I will not fail to offer something that is real Let it in Push down this burden you bear Over and over again I finally embrace the hands of death A depth that no one dares to descend Let it in
