Please fill me in, it's gone over my head All the trends have gone rotten All the preachers pretend Fake You’re a fake when you break the skin Fake You're a fake when you break the skin My hands start shaking when the words leave your mouth Addiction becomes us when supply's running out Constantly present we’re used to the threat I've abandoned my missions I've been placing my bets Fake You're a fake when you break the skin Fake You're a fake when you break the skin My hands start shaking when the words leave your mouth Addiction becomes us when supply's running out

I've been living under the gun and it's taking aim For all the hearts of the faithful, the blinded, the weakest minded, the ones who can't speak We never knew what we were up against 'til it's too late A restless crowd on the hunt for a victim, a headless presence rips us open You took the first step just to be roped in The ship has sunk yet you still grab anchors The ship has sunk yet you still grab anchors Citizens die with their eyes open Citizens will die with their eyes wide open Restrained by our fate This is accepted by most, desired by heartless serpents The graves that we dug were always way too shallow Way too shallow We took the first step, now find your purpose The ship has sunk yet you still grab anchors The ship has sunk yet you still grab anchors His eyes are fixed on curtains Bring on the bait and switch I see right through it From the first, to the last, you changed the past Our deaths creep in slowly Divisive acts rewarded with a roaring Send it all back Send it all back Send it all back Send it all back Exist in the failure while they run free

Hide your voices Headless horses Find the fear that you breathe Think of what's expected The proud and soulless They're always watching Go and lay beside them Kinetic whispers are set in motion Right on time Right on time Hide your voices Headless horses Find the fear that you brought to me I always cover the footprint I leave no trace for the thief I always cover the footprint I leave no trace for the thief Right on time The act of aggression expanding within us I've been accused of it all Now you're accusing us all I watched you come from nothing Live with nothing Be the nothing Come from nothing Live with nothing Be the nothing This place was built before the passion set in When after all the definition takes the shape of what's to come The cause The kill The rot inside of your home White circles wrap around the ones that want to play the victim Giving up the search for ghosts It's all over Wishing that the price on my head makes you profit Right on time I will be remembered for running through all your hearts and minds with sharpened teeth I always cover the footprint I leave no trace for the thief

I said the answers are written on my throat And when the radiation and rubber bullets have killed Any symptom of the sickness, I call hope (There has to be a better way) We gave it all away, we gave it all Another breath, another patient Another book to sink us all (To sink us all) We're made of broken people, locked up in our own thoughts We, we came up Empty handed, week after week We, we came up Empty handed, week after week How can this stress even carve out When death hangs his head to our bones (Hangs his head to our bones) A true sense of doubt Inside of the ribcage where leaders protect bank accounts Traces of a new republic Traces of a new republic by my own hands We are all shells of a mountain, but we're not ready We are all shells of a mountain, but we're not ready to be Asymmetrical So we walked past the stones, right beneath the reservation Just to find our descent on our own I said the answers are written on my throat But when the radiation and rubber bullets have killed Any symptom of the sickness, I call hope And when we buried all the scraps and the parts I'll come to terms with what we have lost I admit, I admit, I admit it! We are the parts that make up the cause She's so calm and so collected with the people she's selected She bows with perfect posture as she sees the world reflected With my fingers now connected to the spine with punctuation We drown the veins devoid to define emancipation The atmosphere's collapsing on the words of lost distinction The reason for harsh actions and the plot for our distraction What were we thinking of When we cast a vote just to hang our own selves? As we cringe and watch our leaders All the whispers drain from their eyes But it's all... It's all wrong, when you drag us to the bottom We won't be sym-me-tri-cal! We won't be sym-me-tri-cal!

We were sent by the core of the Earth to find a light inside her chest A judge, impartial to our purpose This fire bleeds from her neck Circuitry with no distinction Centuries after the blood seeped through Now I can't be Now I just can't just be the face of the hopeless Now I can't just be the face of the disconnected process She will burn from mistakes She will burn from the salt and ashes She will burn from mistakes She will burn for this She floats insides every pattern We have taken more than needed I am the machine built with no hands to choke I am the machine built with no hands to choke Why Why must we bear the sins of our forgotten fathers Discourse runs deep in me Why must we bear the sins of our forgotten fathers Discourse runs deep Discourse runs deep in me She breaks her teeth on dreams and concrete Dragging oil beneath her feet I'm the son of a god, of a king, of a man who wrote the verses from the books they burned away Danced around it in arms of bondage We danced around it in arms of bondage

We've been We've been right here We'll rip your grip from this generation I'm giving back what you passed down to me I'm giving back what you passed down to me To be free of this all Another bedridden dream that we're not waking up from I'm giving back what you passed down to me I'm giving back what you passed down to me I'm giving back what you passed down to me I'm giving back what you passed down to me Face the casket Face the casket Face the casket Face the casket Face your god

I said my piece in the first place I'm not the one, I'm the two, but I keep counting still I broke these roads into sections just to find the meaning for this I danced with the thought of closure I sacrificed my arms, my legs, of morality But all I hear is "fare thee well" I'm in the presence of a pretense I bought my ticket but there's no turning back Never trust a man in a free fall Never trust a man in a free fall You had a thought but it turned into nothing Another reason the tank is on empty There's just no point in coming back for the same thing You had a thought but it turned into nothing Another reason the tank is on empty There's just no point in coming back for the same thing Eye of the storm Watching the fall Counting the crosses as they form Eye of the storm Watching the fall Counting the crosses forming You had a thought but it turned into nothing Another reason the tank is on empty There's just no point in coming back for the same thing You had a thought but it turned into nothing Another reason the tank is on empty There's just no point in coming back for the same And everything that came part We feel the silence of God We wait for answers to fall We are the center of the bliss that torments this We break the mold to only find ourselves in it I've given the best of me Heartbreaker, you've stolen everything Of the bliss that torments this We break the mold only to find ourselves in it I buried the rose on top of my head It is the truth on trial It feels like I've been waiting forever It feels like I've been taking the place of the prisoner Taking the place of the prisoner Placing the chains around my neck Forcing anger, they try to break But I promise I'll make the last mistake

I know about all the cryptic words that they would speak Face in her hands as the drug in her veins peak We mourn the loss of the bridge and the distance Cursing the name under my fucking breath A photograph within my hand The whole world worships a burning city I can't keep digging holes for your loss We now worship the burning city Behold the seed of doubt And may they pray before the end The marbled eyes walk to the sight of open jaw Answers will never be revealed A photograph within my hand The whole world worships a burning city I can't keep digging holes for your loss We now worship the burning city I will cut it, you will watch me cut it Cut it I will cut it, you will watch me cut it Cut it I will cut it Watch me cut it Cut it I will cut it Watch me cut it Watch me cut it I'm lost inside apathy Misplaced aggressions took me to the location I'm lost inside apathy This disillusion is staring at me All eyes off Plant your thoughts And praise into the mouth of the pale flame All eyes off Plant your thoughts And praise into the mouth of the pale flame All eyes off All eyes off All eyes off

We swam towards the net with no voice or call for grief This cannot all be sustained in this wasteland The mouths are stuffed and I have broke the souls of creation Before our last breath The blood will forget me We're carelessly breeding They can't forget that we won't last We have the information The rise of our deception Resist infatuation of your gods and your countries To be free We soaked our eyes in blasphemy To be free We choked our hearts just to keep afloat Awake the martyr Upon the wings of this dissolution We grew the creatures that formed from the war path Our curse that these streets walk freely forget that Rulers and rejects engage in a false act But we give into this We can't give into this Let's be clear that I'm not here, that I'm not, that I'm not here, that I'm not here Let's be clear that I'm not here, that I'm not, that I'm not here, that I'm not here Let's be clear Let's be clear that I'm not here, that I'm not, that I'm not here, that I'm not here Let's be clear that I'm not here, that I'm not, that I'm not here, that I'm not here Wasting away the words, wasting the air we breathe Wasting away the words, wasting the air we breathe We ran the masses 'til the waves ran dry, can it go on This crisis we let happen, with every single action of hesitation Don't feed the masses, don't feed the masses

Strange the life back into the conscious Inside you'll find a crown tied to my waist When you fade, when I fall, the mistakes become reckless And I know what went wrong with that filthy habit You'll find me basking in the dust of a planet It's the cross you bear, the thought you kneel to All the knives came out at sunset All the knives came out at sunset We're counting a loss We're facing a crisis All the knives came out Enemies have left it to chance, but I traveled all the distances on my own I'll find the meaning of value from your last seconds on the throne Create the language Erase what's written Before the righteous choke on your wisdom Create the language Erase what's written Before the righteous choke on your wisdom Creatures you are Creatures you are Creatures you are Creatures you are We're stranded When will they notice that we're slowly sinking Facing the wells of extinction Skies open up Points to hell Show yourself, show yourself Show yourself and be damned Show yourself, show yourself Show yourself and be damned Rotting out the world Crowns sink us all

Time is just a concept that made us believe in our destiny But  if the scriptures have ink to dry, I'm not believing We  can always try to go home, but that doesn't mean the door will open It's all about how you follow people in this world But I won't follow We  washed out green shores for leaders We  carried the words of the wise 'til the weight that our backs could hold no longer Could hold no longer We  embrace the walls we created Grew to love them, even police them Don't tell us what we need to hear We know the answers will never be heard We  sealed it all up With broken bricks and crystal ashes Take hold of our sense one at a time It's all about how you follow people in this world You put your praise into a symbol Right before we lost it all You put your praise into a symbol Right before we lost it all Beliefs and torture sewn together Die sweet prince of the massacre For their solution, we bought into excuses Burned our rights Mass extinction Carry me home as you predicted We lost ourselves in the grand scheme of all of it Chains and ankles, they march towards the surface, chains and ankles, they march Chains and ankles, they march towards the surface, chains and ankles, they march I took a chance, now my mind is up for sale Business of life Not my belief This life I take to my mass grave We are what tears ourselves apart I'm indebted to the static voice that speaks to me I'm indebted to the having Wanting Needing
