This dream's institutionalized, my memories confined. Every word that was laid on my tongue is going to fry. Let it live! There is no savior and there is no gun that can kill all this honor of mine, and get it done, and get it done. There’s no celebration, the rain comes crashing down. We're off to a deeper meaning, we are unconditionally bound. But we are, we are the only thing that matters in the end, but these scars, these scars are well shaped nightmares that pull us down. It’s forever, I won’t give in, this feeling won’t be patronized. All together, we won’t believe, our wish will be bastardized. There is no savior and there is no gun that can kill all this honor of mine, and get it done, and get it done. There is no savior and there is no gun that can kill all this honor of mine, And make me run.

I’ve been a failure, I’ve been a success, those smiles were a gift from the blessed. So tell me, where do I go from here? I’ve been brought up with an aimless tear. On bloodstained fields of broken dreams I’ve lost it all in the upward stream. This time I gotta set free what lurks deep inside of me. Watch the power leave your chapped palms. It all comes together through influential tongues. The hated see the light of day, and here comes the sane. They’re aching, once they were sacred. Search for forgiveness, forgetting their weakness. I do belong! You’re a dent in my strive for not feeling contempt, towards the goals we were raised to achieve. All my pride was spent on making myself so numb, not getting stuck under your thumb. Our poor judgement will forever be denied! Watch the power leave your chapped palms. It all comes together through influential tongues. We’re latching onto a new phase that will rob us of our glorious days. The hated see the light of day, and here comes the sane. They’re aching, once they were sacred. Search for forgiveness, forgetting their weakness. That’s why I’m dedicated to how to cut things through, and I’m no one in a million. I’m just forgetting that I ever was here. The hated see the light of day, and here comes the sane. They’re aching, once they were sacred. Search for forgiveness, forgetting their weakness. I do belong!

Surrender, will there still be a place for me to grow? Transcend me, transcend me beyond this source we thought we knew. Like the river kissed this darkened sea, the shelter has to be somewhere beneath. Let me go to where the purity comes alive, drown me in the living infinite. Let me go! I will be one with the abyss, it will bring me to life. Return all the memories, be reborn through the night. A motherly farewell, a tear leaves the eye. I tremble with emotion as I bid goodbye. Like the river kissed this darkened sea, the shelter has to be somewhere beneath. A swirl of emotions, I’m being dragged by the tide. I will turn to my maker to watch me drown in the great divide. Great divide! Let me go to where the purity comes alive, drown me in the living infinite. Let me go! I will go to where the vanity won’t survive, drown me in the living infinite. Let me go!

First the silence then the chaos, pieces burn end up flickering light. First the hunting then the killing, make your demons surrender tonight. If you're looking for your Gods beneath the dying sun, no one eating your soul before it comes undone. There's no one here to guide you, there's no one here to bring you home. Let the first wave arise, let your weakness subside. Let the first wave arise, let it rise! First the symptoms then the sickness, last caress with your own trembling hands. First the victim then a witness, when it's too late to make your amends. If you're looking for the truth beyond your dying flesh, in the shadows lie the answers that you once possesed. There's no one here to guide you, there's no one here to bring you home. Let the first wave arise, let your weakness subside. Let the first wave arise, First the silence then the chaos. First the silence then the chaos. First the silence then the chaos. First the silence then the chaos. Let the first wave arise, let your weakness subside. Let the first wave arise, let it rise!

I reckon you have something to say like you always do, disguised with an urge to control. Like always it's all about you, and the plans that you've made. Never and ever I will let you in because you command lives with passion. A hidden agenda has risen from your precious insecurity now. How could anyone stand to be around you? The profound you, let me be. Always seem to feel how we're safe and sound to relate to you. Your broken dreams is all I see! The way you get to me still puzzles my thoughts, it ought to cease when the day is done. But it tears me apart, it twists my conscience. I've never felt such impact on my emotions. I cringe by your presence, I hide and I tremble. I feel no connection just disgust and anger. I lash out from memory, daggers of the mind. I've tried so hard, please believe me. How could anyone stand to be around you? The profound you, let me be. Always seem to feel how we're safe and sound to relate to you. Did I put this curse upon myself, it shatters my daydreams alone. Do I leave or just ignore the fact that it will never leave my system? I see you've found a way to infiltrate the poison, it's really more than I can take. I hereby declare you nonexistent, never to return. Go! How could anyone stand to be around you? The profound you, let me be. Always seem to feel how we're safe and sound to relate to you. Your broken dream is all I feel!

Is it still me who controls my universe? I won't be objective to any of your lies. Such desperate ways to control, and capture my attention. Please look away while I make my escape! There's something more that will enhance all my visions, a personal war against all gratification. So leave it behind, erasing all of yesterday. Build your own world, let go of their shield. Let go of the shield! All your generic pieces of human flesh will lead the way for every fool. The wasted follow all your rules, leaving for something better than it seems. I broke the record of pleasing someone else. We stand together as long as someone makes amends. The shit you read, guidance to self-destruction, we make it bleed to wake each other up. The wasted follow all your rules, for all to see. Leaving for something better than it seems. Now does it hurt too much? Tell me how does it feel to deny every second of a prosperous life where you make the call? I will be sheltered, I see no loss. I make my own decisions for my own cause. Break out, break out! Break out, break out! Break out, break out! Break out, break out! Don't let the shield get to you, let go of the shield! The wasted follow all your rules, for all to see. Leaving for something better than it seems.

Out we go, we've been ruthless, the tears of time makes it endless. Give me another life that will grant me with its solace. Watch it burn! The need for light that would guide us has gone away while we progressed. Tell me now does it die when we turn our heads and walk away Walk away! The winds swept all of our mercy, it won't never ever come back. Now the pain we feel is worthy, watch us carry the final collapse. The final collapse! What can we do, resurrect the ashes? Can we stick it through, and forgive ourselves? Our minds are covered with dust, our needs are filthy. Our hands are tied but we still see that we are guilty. So deliver us from broken dreams, return us from this mental siege. Throw us back in the cradle of time, and heel our desperate ways. The winds swept all of our mercy, it won't never ever come back. Now the pain we feel is worthy, watch us carry the final collapse. The final collapse! Out we go, out we go. Go!

What if I chose a path of no return? What if I gave you the tools to ruin my life? Would you gladly accept and steal all my time? Do I control what is missing, and where does it end? Cover my eyes! The wind blows whispers of doom, I’m in tears. Getting a notion, it’s time to rise. To rise! What is the purpose of being, what makes me alive? What is it that limits my reach for something outside? Why do I dream, are you trying to tell me what’s next? But there’s no use for me waiting around ‘til it hits. Cover my eyes... The wind blows whispers of doom, I’m in tears. Getting a notion, it’s time to rise. The wind blows whispers of doom, I’m in tears. They tell me it’s time to rise. I’ll face whatever may come! Whispers and lights... All mistakes by misassociation lead to the darkest of times. Here I am with a new declaration, it’s all mine and it reads: all out war! Cramped up soul... What if I chose a path of no return? What if I gave you the tools to ruin my life? Cover my eyes... The wind blows whispers of doom, I’m in tears. Getting a notion, it’s time to rise. The wind blows whispers of doom, I’m in tears. They tell me it’s time to rise. I’ll face whatever may come!

Need for attention, need for solace in this abuse ridden world. I've fallen into oblivion with you, a mental handshake of fools. This life has gotten us all, the paradox still remains. We live to choke the difference! Carry the weight of an awful fate that’s what they told you to do. Nothing’s changed, nothing will, we still live the other truth. It makes us cope with our need for violence. Nothing’s changed, nothing will, we still give the water’s still. But it still drowns our wish with silence. I can laugh in the face of God because I won’t be loved in the end. Look at all of the pain that I’ve felt, the truth that I’ve bent to accommodate myself. A sideshow with misery, an affair with no dignity. I’ve lost myself, I’ve lost myself. This life has gotten us all, the paradox still remains. We live to choke the difference!

Who cares but sorrow When you're down and close to nothing. No one will bother, watching antidotes in passing. I'm left without a cause, believe me. They never told me why I'm grieving. Now where is the light? Outside the world goes on, it keeps on turning. The feeling of being an outcast just keeps on growing. There must be life! There must be light, take me home where the truth unfolds and steals away the night. Distance keeps growing, soon I'm far enough to lose it. Am I deserving because I was brave enough to use it? I'm left without a cause, believe me. They never told me why I'm grieving. Now where is the light? Outside the world goes on, it keeps on turning. The feeling of being an outcast just keeps on growing. There must be life! There must be light, take me home where the truth unfolds and steals away the night. Steals away the night...

Are you here to watch me fall on my knees? You’ve done it again, I’m out of reach. What was the reason, what was the cause for you to be able to change who I was? But you can’t leech from me, now there’s nothing to fear. Your acts keep setting me aside. How will I ever know? Tell me why! Is it worth to cut through the state that I’m in when our almighty mother constantly wins? But I’m not here to fight you, you gave me life, but I won’t understand if I was put here to die. But you can’t leech from me, now there’s nothing to fear. Your acts keep setting me aside. How will I ever know? Tell me why! Your acts keep telling me to fly but I feel like I’m needed though. Show me why! The right time to reveal the rapture, I want to know where my stakes are at. The truth hurts but I feel like I’ve served well, I hope the living can cope with the lapse. The creation I’ve embraced. So enrich me, I won’t fail. I will never trace your path, but I will challenge and dispose all my wrath. But you can’t leech from me, now there’s nothing to fear. Your acts keep setting me aside. How will I ever know? Are you here to watch me fall on my knees? You’ve done it again, I’m out of reach. What was the reason, what was the cause for you to be able to change who I was?

The shackles of a lifetime are bound to be broken, my fate will be sinking to a world beneath. Dedicating my hopes and fears to the world below. It will swallow all my visions, and turn them into gold. I wanna pierce the surface of dreams, I wanna go where there is no need to accommodate my beliefs, and preserve the disease. There will be no one to tell you why, why we need to pursue our dreams. A gift of resemblance without the greed, a new constitution. It will bring us apart then build it all up to challenge our fearful waters. I can sense what it’s like, and what if it might be the key to a new conclusion. Stay aware of all that you bare far below the sun. I'll take you there! It won’t ever cease, it numbs the feel, so unlock the damage done. I'll take you there! The feelings you carry won’t ever die, they’re one with eternity. The tears you’ve shed, the words you said are all a part of a constant realm. Withering emotions turn into mindful dust, the reality you’ve known has always fed your trust. There will be no one to tell you why, why we need to pursue our dreams. A gift of resemblance without the greed, a new constitution. Believe me, there will be something else that drains you from unwelcomed distress. So bring it to a whole new dimension, captured in the deep. It will bring us apart then build it all up to challenge our fearful waters. I can sense what it’s like, and what if it might be the key to a new conclusion. Stay aware of all that you bare far below the sun. I'll take you there! It won’t ever cease, it numbs the feel, so unlock the damage done. Stay aware of all that you bare far below the sun. I'll take you there! It won’t ever cease, it numbs the feel, so unlock the damage done. I'll take you there!

All your presence makes me sick as a dog, you parasite on a dream that was worked for so long. You dragged a good soul down, and you buried his will in the mud, stay away. Now she’s a savior, a lie, a forced goodbye. Manipulation of the desperate kind. So I’ll give you something that you can’t ignore. A bait to go all the way, a place where your urge gets paid. All hail the parasite blues! She’s a lingering creature, she will blow your mind. But when it comes to your end of this infected alliance, she won’t give in. Feel the love from your savior, a deceiver of trust. All that you give will be returned with your feelings crushed. I’ll give you something that you can’t ignore. A bait to go all the way, a place where your urge gets paid. Your conscience all washed away! He gave you a world that serves what you’ve done before. Now it is here again, my dear you just killed a friend. All hail the parasite blues! Just when you thought it couldn’t get much worse she raised the bar to an all-time low. You worked so hard at covering it up but now it’s taking a new shape! I’ll give you something that you can’t ignore. A bait to go all the way, a place where your urge gets paid. Your conscience all washed away! He gave you a world that serves what you’ve done before. Now it is here again, my dear you just killed a friend.

Dark eyes stare you down, trust the wise as they spread their wings. The surface’s fading, all structures collapse as my blood turns pitch black. Three choices: escape, stand guard or give in. Three choices: escape, stand guard or give in. I could feel it, the presence of an entity. A calling, a cry for help, burning insects to get through the mist Three choices: escape, stand guard or give in. Three choices: escape, stand guard or give in. Robbed by faith, no longer my fault, my travel ends with a smile on my face. Forgiven by no one, predicted to fail as the oracles stand guard. The battles you choose may conquer all that is pure as it drowns your last chance to prevail. All I have is the wisdom, the wisdom of fools. Given to me by the eyes of a ghost! The roar of thunder sets the oracle free. Awakening the ones fallen from grace.
