Watch my back, 'cause it will be in a grave next week Watch my back, 'cause it will be in a grave next week Who's to know, who's to calculate Life is meant to love and make mistakes If I ever had a side that could bold face lie And get away with it every time It would be the man inside my head Am I here or lost again? I keep telling myself (Telling myself) this isn't how the story ends I've come to paint the sky white and black And when the morning comes I won't be looking back I know there's still beauty in the colors left to see Somewhere inside I'll find the other half of me I'll find the other half of me The lines we break that make the shape of everyday routine A step above the waves and chaos is simply me Where's the heart and passion? Don't hold back The frames that make each day unique as we proceed Progress ahead, the past cannot be lived again I keep telling myself (Telling myself) this isn't how the story ends I've come to paint the sky white and black And when the morning comes I won't be looking back I know there's still beauty in the colors left to see Somewhere inside I'll find the other half of me I'll find the other half of me Who's to know, who's to calculate It's the mystery Life is meant to love and make mistakes You're not lost, I'm not dead We are moving side by side You're not lost, I'm not dead We are looking straight ahead Watch my back, 'cause it will be in a grave next week Watch my back, 'cause it will be in a grave next week

I fucking lost myself again In the heat of the moment It's a lost cause, I know it I try to be open It's a lost cause, I know it Still this feast will unfold You dine and you know How you corrupt my mind But you can never destroy my hope I lost myself again stuck in a free fall You play the game - you always win In the heat of the moment I lost myself again, your spirit is killing me Stuck in free fall - pictures and memories You play the game - you always win I know things will remain the same I know I didn't fix anything I fucking lost I fucking lost myself again (In the heat of the) In the heat of the moment It's a lost cause, I know it I try to be open It's a lost cause, I know it So I aim to pretend this won't happen again You can disrupt my mind But you can never destroy my hope I lost myself again stuck in a free fall You play the game you always win In the heat of the moment I lost myself again (Your spirit is killing me) Stuck in free fall (Pictures and memories) You play the game you always win You can laugh You can smile Feel your heart is open Let your spirit free In this light I think I'm starting to see I know that you're leaving me And I wish I could feel apathy Every time I close my eyes All I see is your anatomy I know that you're leaving me And I wish I could feel apathy Every time I close my eyes (Pictures and memories) A taste of what it used to be (Pictures and memories)

Stand back and illuminate Your presence begins to shape History is bound to change Stand back and illuminate In this wreck I'll start to form A new reason to believe again It's hard to see the misery and doubt you breathe I never thought I would see the end of your existence Another dream that was broken from the distance You build resistance, now I'm indifferent Now I believe in nothing from you A fate to face the world in secret You never thought you could love again After a while the dream was dead A way to connect is all you needed I'm ready to know, ready to see I keep on searching what connects with me The sensation of dissociation Give me something to bring me peace We are all searching for integrity Another face, a human counterpart Behind a mask to deceive us You're holding on and you know it's all a lie Time to leave it all behind

As I witness, you fall behind I continue and start to rise Now you're after, a droning daze To fall back into, sulk in your shame In connection we find, a game so obvious Planned from the start can't explain why It distracts us I'm delirious and the air is thinning The room is spinning and I am sitting Every breath I'm consuming my own doubt It still keeps us alive See there's an evil that's outraged Still it keeps us alive Resistance plays at our heart strings When the weight comes down (weight comes down) You reject it, just accept it Thinking you need out (you need out) You create it, you can escape it This urgency you feel each second will never leave Don't ever think it's the end I'm delirious and the air is thinning The room is spinning and I am sitting Every breath I'm consuming my own doubt It still keeps us alive See there's an evil that's outraged Still it keeps us alive Resistance plays at our heart strings Alive to keep us reckless With toxins in ours veins While basic operators, follow directions and play the game What you say in your head is not what you tell the world It still keeps us alive See there's an evil that's outraged Still it keeps us alive Resistance plays at our heart strings Destroying all my fears Just as the picture is about to come clear Disassemble Falling to the ground Disassemble Shattered on the floor Disassemble Picking up the pieces as I Disassemble Destroying all my fears Just as the picture is about to come clear Disassemble Disassemble

Unbind me from this cage, I'm living in From which I can't escape, I need to get away Unbind me from this cage, I'm living in From which I can't escape, I need to get away Unbind me from this prison, controlling, so demanding All colorless and grey I can't take this, expectations are getting in the way Living in silence, sheltered and afraid If this is all that life is, then get me the fuck away It's the timing, reveal yourself Now unbind me A cry for help Open your eyes and make your story worth while Reveal yourself We've already come this far Now it's much too late to give in Into security, it's frightening how numb it feels Deny, don't descend into the grey Deny, don't descend into the grey Running from your issues, is not a strategy Restart, invent, a new reality A cry for help Unbind me from his cage I'm living in From which I can't escape, I need to get away Unbind me from his cage I'm living in From which I can't escape, I need to get away Unbind me from these shadows, expanding, suffocating So dark and full of hate As I'm leaving, opposition is holding me in place Living in silence, sheltered and afraid If this is all that life is, then get me the fuck away Get me the fuck away It's the timing, reveal yourself Now unbind me A cry for help Open your eyes and make your story worth while Now unbind me Reveal yourself We've already come this far Now it's much too late to give in Into security, it's frightening how numb it feels Deny, don't descend into the grey Deny, don't descend into the grey

It came in waves As cycles divide and unite us It comes in waves These visions are unsightly The day you walked in The cycles divide and unite us You should've stepped down These visions are unsightly Who have I become, what have I done? I wish I had a path to choose from Treading down, every road Will I see you now I'm not ever backing down When the page turns over I will be found again When the wait is over This is our stomping ground Regret is not an option You know I've seldom pondered Relief is such a pure fragile motion It came in waves As cycles divide and unite us It comes in waves These visions are unsightly The day you walked in The cycles divide and unite us You should've stepped down These visions are unsightly Death is not an option The story is not over It's unlikely will we die Resilience, is our power Driven by our actions Our lives are here and now Resilience, is our power Driven by our actions Our lives are here and now When the page turns over I will be found again When the wait is over This is our stomping ground It comes in waves As cycles divide and unite us It came in waves These visions are unsightly The day you walked in The cycles divide and unite us You should've stepped down These visions are unsightly

It's time to react It's holding me back If the design, was built to fail Can we avoid our absolute destruction? Could you feel a sense of doubt The first sign arrived and showed us something real Don't hide away, don't consume and delay Begin to trace the truth of our ways Feel the need to see a direction So we color in these imperfections Don't hide away, don't hide away Don't hide away Begin to trace, the truth of our ways I can safely say, it's love that connects us When the weight of the world starts to break you Gravity brings down to reality Will you lift up and join me in the clouds, or stay planted to the ground Will you, cleanse your hands and eyes (your hands and eyes) From future corrupted minds? Don't hide away, don't consume and delay Begin to trace the truth of our ways Feel the need to see a direction So we color in these imperfections Don't hide away, don't hide away Don't hide away Begin to trace, the truth of our ways I can safely say, it's love that connects us Don't hide away, don't hide away Don't hide away Begin to trace, the truth of our ways I can safely say, it's love that connects us Escape from the body, the bones and the flesh Integrate soul in galactic distress Layers and years, tension and fright The creatures beyond us in disguise

Confined in our own fashion, we rise Fantasies lie in your nightmare You're not sticking to the point So we're igniting every fallen dream Fantasies lie, in your nightmares I know it's more than a dream You and me so alive A fading puzzle with one missing piece A silent figure, no words to speak I see the faces, the masterpiece It's getting brighter and hard to breathe Steps we've made to set us free As we ascend the virtual grief The louder the sound The more we all believe There's no time for living With a haunting enemy The louder the sound (in our minds) The more we all believe (and in the people we meet) There's no time for living With a haunting enemy Let's lose our minds and be set free Confined in our own fashion, we rise Fantasies lie in your nightmare You're not sticking to the point So we're igniting every fallen dream Fantasies lie, in your nightmares The world we know, turns at a constant speed Like lightning we strike Like thunder we breathe I see the faces, the masterpiece It's getting brighter and hard to breathe Steps we've made to set us free As we ascend the virtual grief Confined in our own fashion, we rise Fantasies lie in your nightmare You're not sticking to the point So we're igniting every fallen dream Fantasies lie, in your nightmares

The sirens cry, emergency (emergency) Head to the fields Our blood will run into withered light (withered light) Time to face the weapon in me The sirens cry, emergency Head to the fields A dying light from deep inside emerges free Time to face the weapon in me The way a demon, crosses in and crosses out Change frames, hallucinate, will you freak out We saw the faces looking in, looking around Take shape, manipulate Where are you now? Where are you now? Generation dead, your way is out of control You are unfulfilled You can't go back on what you said We saw the faces (we saw the danger) The danger in our hands No room for saviors (no room for saviors) We'll lead ourselves until the end We see the embers start to fade You wait around for something real As the embers start to fade You wait around for something real Something you could feel This is the risk that we all take To start again or start to fade We are the Warlords Separate from your disguise You look disrupted Undo your mouth from all the lies and be confronted It's obvious, unjust and terrifying Don't crawl back to where you were hiding We saw the faces (we saw the danger) The danger in our hands No room for saviors (no room for saviors) We'll lead ourselves until the end We see the embers start to fade You wait around for something real As the embers start to fade You wait around for something real Something you could feel This is the risk that we all take To start again or start to fade We are the Warlords The sirens cry, emergency (emergency) Head to the fields Our blood will run into withered light (withered light) Time to face the weapon in me The sirens cry, emergency Head to the fields A dying light from deep inside emerges free Time to face the weapon in me

Take what you need forget the rest As we proceed, in our distress As the world turns the beauty leaves The dark failing mask you run to While we face our disaster The world keeps spinning faster I can’t take this, I won’t make it Its hard to relate when I hear you say You tried to destroy me Such cheap dishonesty You failed to ignore me Now you’re descending All the times we fought to avenge time You lay down and surrender Come up and take away Broken dreams, unforgiven failures This river of time A fortune of gold Enslave my crown Revive my soul I guess we’re fighting the hours So make each moment yours I’m approaching the edge in a final defensive stand So we’re living it up and we’re throwing away the plan We're all in You claw, you fight but, you always drown We siege to be the, true heroes now You claw, you fight but, you always drown We siege to be the, true heroes now In the failure I gained knowledge In the memory I was let down This river of time A fortune of gold Enslave my crown revive my soul Down stream in absence circles expand Direct the folds on a line Take my hand You claw, you fight but, you always drown I can’t take this, I won’t make it Its hard to relate when I hear you say You tried to destroy me Such cheap dishonesty

And so we begin Frame by frame, we pick each vision Who is your controller? Who is your composer? You’re in denial and it's hard to paint the picture You've reached the end and it's time to consider, moving on Don't let this pass you by Keep moving on These complicated fragments are going over my head When confrontation comes you scatter with regret We all need to listen We all need to see what's on display Rebuild what we've envisioned Fighting a battle no one will win You’re in denial and it's hard to paint the picture You've reached the end and it's time to consider, moving on Don't let this pass you by Keep moving on Infatuated passion. we know we're all the same Our dedication has us full of intensity We all need to listen We all need to see what's on display Rebuild what we've envisioned Fighting a battle no one will win And so we conclude Frame by frame, we pick each vision You are the controller You are the composer
