oh my I've been mistaken / this is just an illusion / we live in a world of make believe / mercy have me; / could this be / happening / is this a story we should believe / let the lines bleed through my eyes / as the vowels hinder your speech / my need keeps me deceived / do you know what it feels like / when you, you're not alive / welcome, this is where / my world / my world collides / destruction between the seams / lets us dream / fiction vs reality / (I know I'm drifting in between; in between the walls in which we sleep) / Paralyzed in disbelief / and I can't find a reason / to wake up from this dream / reality is comforting but this distance / is longing and calling for me / Paralyzed in disbelief / wake me from this dream / could this be / happening / is this a story we should believe / let the lines bleed through my eyes / as the vowels hinder your speech / my need keeps me deceived / do you know what it feels like / when you / you're not alive / goodbye

The deceiver send the signals through the air I never expected delivery / Lost in this abyss. The sea you created becomes a sink hole / I am, Waiting for the savior who never came / Waiting for the savior who never came / Waiting / ill keep watching, ill keep waiting, my friend turned foe / Waiting, my friend and / My child blesser your faith has failed me / Give me reason / give me hope / child blesser your faith has failed me / Give me reason / give me hope / The gift was given, my only child.. / where are you now? / where are you now? / Head first for halos shot down defending / Head first for halos, back down to her / Your chest is wasteland, Your eyes will never see the sun / Child blesser your faith has failed me / Give me reason / give me hope / My Child blesser your faith has failed me / Give me reason / give me hope / The gift was given, my only child.. / where are you now? / where are you now? / She gave you life in me / She brought you back from the dead / IT SEEMS YOU'VE LOST YOUR HEAD.

As Leeches crawl down my throat / and through my insides / they will devour me / they are defining me / I've been waiting for this / I cant shake the fever / I am trembling / I am the ghost / misleading and deceived / weary and defeated / lets us toast to the end of all days / farewell to all my friends / I've done no good I saw this coming / predicted a free fall to perpetual dismay / I have discovered the meaning / I should have seen this / have seen this this coming / this is why the story never ends / oh drifter, come closer/ your half way home / don't be afraid of this your body begs for it / oh drifter (falling faster) / oh drifter blessing or burden / oh drifter (deteriorating) / oh drifter this is the end / I know this is... / where I belong / as it comes closer whispering secrets / (keeping me sweating) / ill be sure to say my goodbyes / and spare you all the sighs / there will be lessons to learn / and bridges will burn / oh drifter, drifting away / as dreamers they stay / I'm / sleeping / in disbelief / afraid of the day / cease the dream / this is why the story never ends / oh drifter, come closer/ your half way home / don't be afraid of this your body begs for it / (oh drifter) / oh drifter, come closer / your half way home / don't be afraid of this your body begs for it / this is it, this is it/ you're the one who asked for this / this is it, this is it / no more regrets you've spent you're last wish / one last night in this hell of home / one last breathe as I relive my sins.

The beholder. now comes a time where it fades to grey / the light is drifting and slowly escaping / my hands are shaking and my mind is racing / it's a tale tale sign of a better day / so let / this rest in peace / oh god / the walls are closing in / oh god / my chest is losing wind / teach me how to feel alive.. again / take me back / home / take me back home / where I belong / and maybe if we close our eyes we'll come to terms and sleep just fine / and maybe if we close our eyes / our soul will drift away / may god have mercy / but if we hesitate we wont be breathing anymore / don't let your demons send you to your grave / don't let them pull you in / don't let demons swallow you whole / doing let your demons divide your soul / the walls are closing in, no one will save you / maybe somewhere along the way you'll pick up the piece's and find yourself lost in your dreams / and maybe if we close our eyes we'll come to terms and sleep just fine / and maybe if we close our eyes / our soul will drift away / may god have mercy / the walls are closing in / and no one will save you/ The walls are closing in / no one will save you

Free of the water, the filth that was the ocean / settling where I am / I am disengaging from gravitation / This is me at the end of the world as we know it, let us start the evacuation / sound the alarm! / Dear dead lover I've loved you dearly, the ruse / The mast is down the ship is doomed / Dear dead lover I've longed you dearly, the ruse / The mast is down the ship is doomed / I cant appose that this is where and this is how we are to let go, just let go / So let the water, over flow, just over flow our lungs / We're over this and now we abandon ship / The skin on my teeth is wearing so thin, the bones I own beg for mercy / Just give in / The blood in my veins is boiling over and I cant resist the nothing that's calling your name / So this is it where will I reside.. The hole in the hull is pulling me under / Dear dead lover I've loved you dearly, the ruse / The mast is down the ship is doomed / Dear dead lover I've longed you dearly, the ruse / The mast is down the ship is doomed / The mast is down the ship is doomed

Speaker / we hear you loud and clear / seeking wisdom from deep within / hold tight / were not giving in / breathe deeper let it begin / the light is pulling you in / Out stretched / we see you've lost your head / Wearing so thin / its time to shed your skin / begin again rewind reverse / our friend this may be the end / exhale! / from up above / the ground / seems a little clearer / through the clouds we speak / understand our tongues / everything is loud and clear / you live in fear / you are the seed of our peers / We've watched you grow / from the ground up / hesitating / with every breathe that you take / vagrant / its time to send the anchor down / latch on / hold tight / let us creep in / the ground seems a little clearer / through the clouds we speak / understand our tongues / everything is loud and clear / you live in fear / bite your tongue / breather relive / keep your eyes / between the lines

Tempter inside of me / pulling my heart strings / creator, recreate / creator, recreate / Cover your eyes this wont be (this won't be) a pretty site / Cover your eyes this wont be (this won't be) a pretty site / I mistake myself, for a machine / I mistake myself, for a machine / Teach me.. how to breathe / against the odds / What now lives inside of me / consumes what is left / of my, mind / I have left my soul on the floor / It's liquefied I am draining / (Cover your eyes this wont be a pretty site) / Cover your eyes this wont be (this won't be) a pretty site / Cover your eyes this wont be (this won't be) a pretty site / Dear sinner, my savior.. dear sinner you're dead and gone / It's over you're meant to stay away. You're dead and gone / So take my wrongs away, ill find my right of way.

So let me / breathe, I am defeated / my hands are in the air (seeking redemption) / my tongue has been removed / (away with words) / away with words / (a way with words) / I have no way with words / manipulation inside of me / and dirty hands to carry out their heads / I live in dreams / I am comatose / I live in dreams / I am comatose / believe in me not / I have nothing left to lead / follow him just as I should / find us / a new place to call our home / because we're not welcome anymore / I admit that I have lost myself / I admit that I have lost myself / discovered the dirt where they planted my seeds / So let me / breathe, I am defeated / my hands are in the air (seeking redemption) / my tongue has been removed / (away with words) / away with words / (a way with words) / I have no way with words / I've fought for truth in hope / but I know the only hope / is letting go / of his dead hands that hold me / under / just let me in / I feel him with every breath / that I take / this very air restricts my lungs / I cannot feel I am undone / the dead man I am / the followers I lead / save me / from my / save me / from my / self / can you hear them call? / redeem them all.

Don't call out my name with your last breath of air / you wont leave this town alive / in passing we spoke a few words / regretting the lies that we shared / hide those eyes where you keep the demon alive / Love has left us standing at the door / are you afraid / of what might come from this / I know that this it is / I've lost my grip / I know that this is it / I breathe it in I can't resist / can you hear the creatures calling / all the writing is on the wall / consuming every obsession / airing out our confessions / Drifter you're back again for good
