My pulse races faster than my mind can follow Chasing after my vengeful self Through a relentless path of destruction I've become (its passenger) Seeing now (what has passed) Just slow down (let patience lead) This moment (you'll come to accept) Don't be defeated by it Whether or not you take control You're still along for the ride If anything this will be A true test of patience Two eyes of a storm This rage has taken me hostage Its hand gripping the wheel Accelerating bitter thoughts Through no vein will it yield I've become (its passenger) Seeing now (what has passed) Just slow down (let patience lead) This moment (you'll come to accept) Don't be defeated by it Whether or not you take control You're still along for the ride If anything this will be A true test of our patience Two eyes of a storm Quiet streams of light Find a passage to the ground Crossing all along Crossing all along the way Through a sea full of clouds Don't be defeated by it Whether or not you take control You're still along for the ride If anything this will be A true test of our patience Two eyes of a storm If anything this will be A true test of our patience Two eyes of a storm

Painfully witnessing an other's victory Parading before his eyes Before his eyes His envy, fully awake and restless Admiring each and every passerby Every passerby An inner gravity toward all directions Submersed in a pull of unreachable destinations Completely removed of acceptance Removed of acceptance For an other's standing in Standing in the distance Shouldn't you be living above this? Shouldn't you be finding your own way? Shouldn't you Be living above this? Shouldn't you Be finding your own way? Endlessly praying for just one taste Of a truth Of anything but your own Of anything but your own If given the chance, they would be clear of the path But without their presence You would never have known the direction Had it been unseen Unseen or unsaid To be content in their standing Is to find a way of your own Shouldn't you be living above this? Shouldn't you be finding your own way? Shouldn't you Be living above this? Shouldn't you Be finding your own way? Endlessly praying for just one taste Of a truth Of anything but your own Of anything but your own Shouldn't you be living above this? Shouldn't you be finding your own way? Shouldn't you (shouldn't you) Be living above this? Shouldn't you (shouldn't you) Be finding your own way? Endlessly praying for just one taste Of a truth Of anything but your own Of anything but your own

Resting between worlds, seated at his throne Consuming the stars and all that dare surround him Soaked in the warmth of the sun As all below live subject to the night And as they battle for the scraps that fall from his table Scraping the earth under their feet Wars are waged and never won Wars are waged and never won In vicious cycles around his endless hunger In vicious cycles around his endless hunger Oh, there will never be an end Oh, 'cause there will never be enough Self indulgent, deeply hell-bent To see his way to the bottom before moving on Gorging the food of the gods As all below live subject to the night And as they carry the weakened ones to safety Across the desolate land under their feet Wars are waged and never won Wars are waged and never won In vicious cycles around his endless hunger In vicious cycles around his endless hunger Oh, there will never be an end Oh, 'cause there will never be enough Oh, there's no way out Until the gods give up their heavens and he empties them out (and he empties them out) And he empties them out Fleeting... Fleeting... Fleeting... Fleeting... A fleeting burst of light In the small blink of an eye Illuminating a path 'Cross a melancholy sky He followed with intent Mindful of his every step Passing by the hungry The ailing and the dead Oh, there will never be an end Oh, 'cause there will never be enough Oh, there's no way out Until the gods give up their heavens and he empties them out And he empties them out

He stepped forward with certainty And then secured his blindfold tightly He saw nothing of this world Free of his own reflection He heard their voices faintly So much softer than his own He sensed their touch rest upon him But only felt, only felt of stone His thoughts became an infinite flow The truths of which he spoke with absolute conviction And took Solace in knowing their words Were simply competing frequencies The fate of one who only sees (truth in his own words) Is the furthest thing from free (is the furthest thing from free) A prisoner to an elite (no one will ever know) A castaway lost at sea He found his voice ringing wall to wall Answer his thoughts, standing on his own He learned nothing of this world free of his own reason He paid no views attention That he did not find Paid no views attention that He didn't find to his liking The fate of one who only sees (truth in his own words) Is the furthest thing from free (is the furthest thing from free) A prisoner to an elite (no one will ever know) A castaway lost at sea The fate of one who only sees (truth in his own words) Is the furthest thing from free (is the furthest thing from free) The fate of one who only sees (truth in his own words) Is the furthest thing from free (is the furthest thing from free) A prisoner to an elite (no one will ever know) A castaway lost at sea

A desirous heart with a scavenger's eye Fixated only on your possession With the will of a thousand hunters Starved and in pursuit And the mastery of an artist Perceptively in tune He extends a steady hand And you think nothing of it When gathering his demands And surrendering them to him I will be the keeper of everything that they hold dear I will take pleasure in making it all disappear Such a smooth deceiver Grinning as he leaves them Empty handed and broken Feeling like givers not victims So graciously fooled in that moment Where even your heart you'd have thought A relief to unburden into him Had he shown the appetite Heavy steps carry his departure Pockets filled with victories The most satisfying of pleasures This wicked sense of glory I will be the keeper of everything that they hold dear I will take pleasure in making it all disappear I will be the keeper of everything that they hold dear I will take pleasure in making it all disappear Making it all disappear

Sooner or later we will have to remove The blindfold from our eyes Sooner or later we will have to let go Of the fictions that we lived by Conspiring against ourselves Denying truths for the sake of pride Dividing our hearts to envy Satisfying our lust and greed Misguiding the choices we make To wrath, sloth, and gluttony Today we lost ourselves Gave our self control away today Today we bid farewell To vicious cycles and we welcome new days of hope Stepping out of the darkness and into the light To show the damage we've done Stepping out of the darkness and into the light In hopes that we'll overcome Conspiring against ourselves Denying truths for the sake of pride Dividing our hearts to envy Satisfying our lust and greed Misguiding the choices we make To wrath, sloth, and gluttony Today we lost ourselves Gave our self control away today Today we bid farewell To vicious cycles and we welcome new days of hope In this moment of clarity The past seems so far away In this moment of integrity I can finally see clearly Reason to live this new day If I can find inside the strength To defeat these demons If I can find inside the strength Carry on with self restraint, Integrity and patience I will know it's not over yet That this is not the end I will know that this is not the end

Goodbye my heart, I won't be needing you anymore To the fire with you before you risk my life Somewhere below this thickening skin There is a trace of humanity An inkling of life underneath it all The undying will of weakness Envious of the machines who never knew That we together destroyed the earth They can sleep, with guiltless dreams They can sleep, they can sleep Everything inside disappeared Upon our awakening To the beginning of what will become What will become the end Somewhere within this ever numbing heart There is a trace of empathy An inkling of life underneath it all I can't explain where it's going Envious of the machines who never knew That we together destroyed the earth Everything inside disappeared Upon our awakening To the beginning of what will become What will become the end Give me a reason to feel again And I'll try to find where my heart has been Give me a reason to feel again To untie my veins and let the pain in Let the pain back in They can sleep, with guiltless dreams They can sleep, they can sleep Everything inside disappeared Upon our awakening To the beginning of what will become What will become the end

I think I'm in love with the glamorous hills The beauty of the sea, the beauty in me I am the man that will love you to death But I know for sure, it ain't a part of me Oh Captain, my Captain Would you please sail me to sea? Well, I'm losing the war, I can't see it clear All that's left is the gloomy sounds I hear For now I am done The hand feeding is right on For now I am done Too fast to ever get a hold off Like flowers in the heart of darkness Like roses blacker than your mother's soul Now it's gloomy and out of control For now I am done The hand feeding is right on For now I am done And back then I was down Suddenly it felt better And better than her This is the night party This is the night party Take it away I gave you a Siberian kiss When you left me at the night party Have you been drinking again? I will not fall overboard I gave you a Siberian kiss When you left me at the night party Tell me have you been drinking again? Your taste still haunts me in my dreams It's killing me, this safety of illusion It's time to bury you in my heart For now I am done The hand feeding is right on For now I am done And back then I was down Suddenly it felt better And better For now I am done It feels like escape now Right now where I am down When your kiss doesn't feels safe Back when I was down Suddenly it felt better It's better with you
