Channel the only connection Set on a one-way straight Coming in brighter than anything else But treating yourself (Like nothing) Turning unsettled in every way Branded a fictive track Don't let them damage the fruits of your labour Outlier Insistently Outsider Rise What effort did you make? Challenge fate Outsider Rise What effort did you make? Challenge fate The undesired effects of this place And underwhelming attempts have been made Deliver us from the sacred Breeding (such blasphemy) See, on the larger scale Would you abandon the role that you came with Outlier Eternally Outsider Rise What effort did you make? Challenge fate Outsider Rise What effort did you make? Challenge fate Challenge fate (Outsider) (What effort did you make?) Challenge fate (Outsider) (What effort did you make?) Challenge fate Channel the only connection Set on a one-way straight Coming in brighter than anything else But treating yourself (Like nothing) Outsider Rise What effort did you make? Challenge fate Outsider Rise What effort did you make? Challenge fate

If you could see the audacity up front You keep on holding overhead So quick to formulate I'll bet the rest is futile Too quick, too much I'm nearby living a nervous wreck Shadow dwelling Oh so tempting Ceiling's almost folding in (Control) Less of that, better me (Let go) I won't let it follow me (Control) Appear with a new disguise (Let go) I can't let it follow me for years to come I need to be what I'm actually here for Limitations, self-inflict Automation on self-control I'll sink to my lowest form Too quick, too much Inedible, mysterious All telling, oh so empty World's almost folding in (Control) Less of that, better me (Let go) I won't let it follow me (So let it control) Appear with a new disguise (Let go) I can't let it follow me for years to come Surrender control (Control) Less of that, better me (Let go) I won't let it follow me (So let it control) Appear with a new disguise (Let go) I can't let it follow me for years to come

Blasting the world I turn it off And if there's one thing but time I said it all And yet I still agonize and hesitate And ill-advised Nevertheless provoke the same insanity I breathe fire Don't ever let me go I'm born a rebel Into my own black hole Shot dead I look into the flame Let the bridge I torch light my way Is this already absolute? Is this already absolute? These are the heaviest moments Slow burn, there's no guarantee These are the heaviest moments Slow burn, there's no guarantee Guarantee Shudder to think That it's already absolute Shudder to think Trying to reprobate Power to possess Power to possess Let the bridge I torch light my way I breathe fire Don't ever let me go I'm born a rebel Into my own black hole Shot dead I look into the flame Let the bridge I torch light my way Fast track to the grave Where it's getting harder to breathe Don't ever let me go Let me go Is this already absolute? Are we already there? Is this already absolute? I build it up to burn it all down To tear it all down Playing with fire, don't let me go I'm born a rebel, losing it all Playing with fire, don't let me go I'm born a rebel, losing it all

Let me know, spit that bottom line, mean that Think you wanna play the role, "Such a staple" Man, I'm good though I guess a little naive But you're setting an example You caused a hell of a scene And I'd hate to see you do it all again Let me know, spit that bottom line, mean that Think you wanna play the role, "Such a staple" Man, I'm good I guess a little naive But you're setting an example You caused a hell of a scene And I'd hate to see you do it all again You didn't know? Well that's a joke The writing on the wall You kept going about it You didn't know? Well that's a joke The rare event you linger Somebody will leave you breathless Can't keep up this charade (Not gonna pull us under now!) We're restless, can't keep up this charade (Not gonna pull us under now) I guess a little naive But you're setting an example You caused a hell of a scene And I'd hate to see you do it all again good

There's a sentiment in the atmosphere Maybe more severe than it would appear Neighbours unassisted, unaware Lured in by the golden snare Lead them down the road to salvation Is it treating you well? Play an absent role Starved backs against the wall This salvation Leaving innocent in a cell Play an absent role I hope that it serves 'em well Consumed Gone in the blink of an eye The vision So be it, live and let die Submission You're never one of a kind A crippling sort of therapy Therapy, it's gone awry This foundation Maintained to carry out This dark tense role Maintained to carry out This salvation Leaving innocent in a cell Play an absent role I hope that it serves 'em well Consumed Gone in the blink of an eye The vision So be it, live and let die Submission You're never one of a kind A crippling sort of therapy In a pinnacle time, so volatile There's a sentiment in the atmosphere Maybe more severe than it would appear Neighbours unassisted, unaware There's a sentiment in the atmosphere Maybe more severe than it would appear Neighbours unassisted, unaware There's a sentiment in the atmosphere Maybe more severe than it would appear (Unsettled burden ready to fall, this sentiment so volatile, oh!) Consumed The vision Submission You're never one of a kind!

I don't want to stand by but I don't really know How do I approach this? How do I revolt? Spewing up garbage Excuses made Normalizing your perverted hate Now I'm outraged by excuses Act of irony and exuberance Fresh face, stale cause!

I don't want to stand by and now I know This is my outlet This is my revolt Still spewing up garbage Excuses made Normalizing your disturbing hate Outraged by excuses You claim irony and exuberance Now I'm outraged by excuses Be aware! Ah! Be aware! Condemnation Is this abuse of freedom? Condemnation Is this abuse of freedom? Outraged by excuses You claim irony and exuberance Now I'm outraged by excuses Fresh face, stale cause! Be aware!

I've been looking through a moment in time A decade long to finish line A sense, a calling to move back home Father, he can't do this alone Help me help you Now out of empathy, out of necessity Help me help you Where's it meant to be? Suffer regrettably Help me help you Let me tell you Okay Chugging the year like a in the mood And now in '17 just not giving it up Like a fortune teller had a slip of the tongue I put my energy out, I put my energy out I push forward It's too soon I've got to show It's too close It's too close and it's crashing down It's finally crumbling It's devastating And I remember you said to me I don't know what I'd do without you It's finally crumbling It's never ending How may times have I said to you I don't know what I'd do without you I've been looking through a moment in time A decade long to a finish line A sense, a calling to move back home Mother, she can't do this alone God it's a miserable moment in time He swung it out 'til the finish line And when it all came to a close you know A father loved and gone too soon Help me help you Now out of empathy, out of necessity Help me help you Where's it meant to be? Suffer regrettably Help me help you Help me help you Help me help you I've been looking through a moment in time A decade long to finish line
