Blinded in Bliss
Album • 2012
Born into this world Not knowing who we are Given this identity Forced fed reality Hurtling through space With limited perception Of who we are and why we're here All we know is we are Capable of love Like the love we show for our music And it feels like the love We show for the young Shining light into the darkest places Into the world at large not just Your one perspective Keep in mind that this world Is divided amongst itself The blind lead the blind The sheeple heard themselves Propaganda working on our minds Shaping our world views You were born into bondage Isolated From what could be the truth Sacrifice yourself We were born into bondage Forced to live this life Confined within society Sacrifice Your world view for an open mind Seek the truth Seek it all the time Place the blame On our ignorance Take control of its Governance All we know is we are Capable of love Like the love we show for our music And it feels like the love We show for the young Shining light into the darkest places You were born into this world Bound Bound by rule and law For the purpose to benefit the state Fight for everything you love Hold dearly to your rights And rights of everyone upon this world We can make this change today All that we are is the result Of what we have thought We can learn to live another way Forget these Broken promises Cast out the veil Your life's before you No country, no rule, no law Defines you We are all the same Expressed in different ways

Expectations The voice inside my head won't rest I'm my own worst enemy Paralyzing I approach the crossroads of my life The decision must be made I'm seeking answers deep within Reflecting upon my failures For all the pain I'm learning more and more About who I am, and who you are Mesmerizing The duality exists within Torn between two paths Perseverance You've always known where your heart lies Moving past the inner conflict In my weakest moments Your words were there, to carry me The pillar of strength that held me up When the force of my doubt emerged When I look in your eyes Like looking into a mirror My one desire is to save myself like you I shall deliver With the pressure weighing down on me I invoke the strength within I'll see this to its end I will always remember Never ever forget That in my greatest time of need Your sacrifices set me free Full force As I approach the final stretch Reach out Take this leap of faith No fear Break the boundaries of your doubt If you never try You'll never know You'll always wonder In my weakest moments Your words were there, to carry me The pillar of strength that held me up When the force of my doubt emerged When I look in your eyes Like looking into a mirror My one desire is to save myself like you I shall deliver With the pressure weighing down on me I invoke the strength within I'll see this to its end I will always remember Never ever forget That in my greatest time of need Your sacrifices set me free

So pure So precious So rare, the bond that we share True friends, you'll fight for You'll bleed for again and again Have you ever taken a turn for the worst Never really knowing why Have you felt the weight of the world Held back as it passed you by But no matter how hard it gets It doesn't matter how far you fall When your world comes crashing down You can always rely on Good times Old faithful Living life one day at a time United, Eternal We will never forget Where we're from And who we are And what we've been through Brothers to arms We will never forget The ones we lost Together we stand We will never fall This world is cruel But we're in it together I got your back and you got mine Living life one day at a time Just live in the moment reach out and own it Remember Who we are And where we came from And what we've been through Forget the noise For time will teach us To have faith in who In who we are When I was down and out, You believed in me When darkness shrouded my path, Your faith it compelled me To push as hard as I could To work as hard as I should For all the people I love and care for This is for you Have you ever taken a turn for the worst Never really knowing why Have you felt the weight of the world Held back as it passed you by But no matter how hard it gets It doesn't matter how far you fall When your world comes crashing down You can always rely on All the memories and all that's still to come And everything we stand for Moving forth as one

Never followed Always led myself through life Never deceived Never faltered Never blinded in the darkest nights Learned long ago, to trust myself Your thoughts, your own Your fate, you make Just trust in who you are Your dreams aren't very far When you're faced with doubt Entangled in your fear You break the binds that hold you back Embrace your fate Your dreams you make Through constancy, constantly Stumbled upon a river of trust Watched the weak, drown before me Victims to forsaken lies, overcome by desperate times And we all go down that road Where we find ourselves It's who you choose to be that defines you Trust in no one else Your thoughts, your own Your fate, you make Just trust in who you are Your dreams aren't very far When you're faced with doubt Entangled in your fear You break the binds that hold you back Embrace your fate Your dreams you make Through constancy, constantly Realize, even as time goes by We remain the same Despite, the transformations We'll find, we will find I trust our values are embedded deep inside Your hopes your dreams Are never out of reach Stumbled upon a river of trust Watched the weak, drown before me Victims to forsaken lies, overcome by desperate times All, all my life I've waited for, one touch, one taste A glimpse, my right Our constancy remains strong Our constancy will go on

Robbed of your will to live Your life has fallen so far You lie in disrepair Never questioning why Hopeless No salvation Tormented The pain you must endure Relentless Defeated No prayer can save you now Malevolence Oligarchy Profit interest Before humanity Deprived Your ambitions lie in ruin Natural law revoked Clenching onto faith For the hopes of a brighter day, but no Your opes they fade through loss Existence takes its toll You've fallen far from grave In destitution How could this be real How did it come to this The suffering continues Supremacism still persists For all the pain we've seen The tears in tragedy We fail to see All around the world we fail to see The pain and suffering Despite the good intentions Ignoring the root cause Hopeless No salvation Tormented The pain you must endure Relentless Defeated No prayer can save you now Malevolence Oligarchy Profit interest Before humanity Robbed of your will to live Your life has fallen so far You lie in disrepair Never questioning why Deprived Your ambitions lie in ruin Natural law revoked Clenching onto faith For the hopes of a brighter day, but no Your opes they fade through loss Existence takes its toll You've fallen far from grave In destitution How could this be real How did it come to this The suffering continues Supremacism still persists For all the pain we've seen The tears in tragedy

These eyes are the gateway for deception Lack of perception This physical world hides a truth The symbiotic connection Dependence, on everything For survival Awareness is required, for the future To survive To live on For understanding Realize There is a fragile balance in life Despite our ties to this world It existed before we were here And will remain when we come to pass There are things you cannot Touch or see Affinity Like the bond that joins You to me Affinity We're united through the sounds you hear And through the love we share Reality, is emergent There is a fragile balance in life Despite our ties to this world It existed before we were here And will remain when we come to pass The stars and the sky And the universe too The sun and its planets Connected to you The clouds up above And the wind in your face Your family and friends The oceans and the lakes We are connected to everything We all share this affinity For if we didn't exist as a whole We wouldn't even exist at all Everything we thought we knew can change New understandings are emerging Every day Forsake these ancient traditions There must be another way Place your faith in a new horizon Search for another way

The whole weight of this world It bears down unto you Manipulation of our governments Profit preaching providence The cost for you to live A price you can't afford The body bags they fill each day They were forced to live this way Covet resources Profit off our needs The disregard for life Spreading the disease Privatize your social systems Buying out your rights Modern day slavery A product of poverty Like time controls the things we've done It will never let us back Like time controls the things we've done We will never come again It's what we do right here and right now That sets us on our path The choice is ours to take this leap To shape this world for harmony Covet resources Profit off our needs The disregard for life Spreading the disease The pyramid, that represents The pain and misery The ones who sit upon its top Their hearts are filled with greed There is no room for you and me Its only give or take In a world where children starve at night The idea of poverty This global conspiracy Expose their treachery Light will prevail here Awaken your mind's eye This world is ours Seek to expose the truth The power of thought It holds weight over you Like the weight that they held over us This world is awakening Sick of the suffering Change is calling for you For you For you

Searching for a sign The pulse within my life A desperate attempt to feel like I belong Loneliness in my heart Longing for release Screaming from within The harder I searched it seemed You eluded me Time is so unforgiving Lead me to the truth Life found a way and I found you And you found me Throughout the course of our lives Always searching for the moments that define who we are You cannot capture the moment alone You find the meaning through the people you love I believe Now I see That I found my place in you Be with me Set me free Shape my memories with you You lit my world You fulfilled my dreams We became one both you and me This love I have, I give to you Like a bridge to something special Your eyes are the bridge for my love When I had you in my sight The pain was washed away Like a bridge to something special Your eyes are the bridge for my love When I had you in my sight The pain was washed away For you I'd lay my head down In sacrifice I'd lay my life on the line For you Faith will find you tomorrow Stay true to who you are I could never replace What you meant to me because Everything I desire in life All my thoughts keep leading me back to you i was yours until the end When your thoughts lead you back to me A chapter in your life Remember what we shared I believed I was free Now I bid farewell to you In my dreams Memories I will save a place for you When your thoughts lead you back to me Remember heart and soul Remember the love we shared was kind, pure and true

I sit and watch as the course of life evolves A product of our thoughts For the outcome of our lives Is changing all the time I'm reaching out for you How is it that you fail to see? The things I did affected you Like the things you did affected me But I can't explain it to you Your mind is set to what you've been told You think its all just set in stone That your path is laid before you're born And you walk the earth convinced All the things that's are happening to you Are a part of a predetermined story Written to see you through Your fate, is born Your hate, will scorn The price, you'll pay For the sacrifices you've made But then there will come a time In your life You will find When you finally realize the universe is not to blame For the things you claim That brought you here This is what you chose and soon you'll see Every choice we make affects the aftermath Of what will come to be Time to come with me Let's take a stroll I'll show you your views of the world Misguided interpretations The morals you value Your views of the world Your deepest desires The guilt that you hold The people you love And the people you hate You're entangled in all of the things You forsake The morals you value Your view of the world Your deepest desires The guilt that you hold The people you love And the people you hate You're entangled in all of the things You partake in each day Your fate, is born Your hate, will scorn The price, you'll pay For the sacrifices you've made But then there will come a time In your life You will find When you finally realize the universe is not to blame For the things you claim That brought you here This is what you chose and soon you'll see Every choice we make affects the aftermath Of what will come to be But then there will come a time In your life You will find When you finally realize the universe is not to blame For the things you claim That brought you here This is what you chose and soon you'll see Every choice we make affects the aftermath Of what will come to be And you try to portray While each factor determines your days As they stare you in the face Moving faster with each breath you take Suddenly you'll see The result of each day you must embrace as one Your perception of all you've perceived Will leave you clueless To the things you thought you believed And if you blindly tread the path that you tend You will reach your inevitable ugly end
