United State of Mind

(Verse)
I see the light
When you're coaxing me
Sweetly with lies
In my ears I can hear
Voices inside
As I'm floating away with the tide
Yeah here we go
Spinning around
As I'm on my way straight down
In my eyes I can size
Pictures of clouds
As I draw myself back to the ground
Burn it down
Erase my mind
(Chorus)
If you don't feel like I do
Take it in and try again
I'll help you find a
Peaceful state of mind like mine
(Verse)
Right through my bones
The sensation of turning to stone
On my skin I can sense
Vibrating tones
Resonating from
Evergreen clones
On my tongue I can taste
Words from my mouth
As they all come billowing out
Creeping in I can smell
Flowers in bloom
As they enter the depths of my tomb
Wake me up
Open my eyes
(Chorus)
If you don't feel like I do
Take it in and try again
I'll help you find a
Peaceful state of mind like mine
(Bridge)
We can rewind
Revisit that state of mind
And when we get there we can go
Up in smoke
(Chorus)
If you don't feel like I do
Take it in and try again
I'll help you find a
Peaceful state of mind like mine
Yeah hear we go
yeah up in smoke

Never Present
03:50

|
(Verse)
We're diving into the shallow
You want it now an invisible unbreakable wall
(Chorus)
Here without substance we entertain
Our interest in distance, to disconnect
I think it's funny how we stay in touch
So far away from our own relevance
(Verse)
Reaching out there's no one near
Figured it out it's trivial
We're parting into each other
You want it now an invisible unbreakable wall
(Chorus)
Here without substance we entertain
Our interest in distance, to disconnect
I think it's funny how we stay in touch
So far away from our own relevance
(Bridge)
We come and go, as we see fit
We never show, we're never present
(Chorus)
Here without substance we entertain
Our interest in distance, to disconnect
I think it's funny how we stay in touch
So far away from our own relevance
Disconnect

Something New
04:16
|

|
(Verse)
Stolen through the years
The bulbs of shattered minds
How can we progress when we're regressing back in time
All we are, copies of ourselves
A superficial image that was traced by someone else
(Pre-chorus)
Again, and again
Again, and again
(Chorus)
So where are, the originals?
These are the same songs, that I have heard before
So why don't you, come up with something new?
These are the same words, that someone else said before
(Verse)
Say it all again, a similar rendition
Our preservations have been fixed by their revisions
They are, lying to themselves
Scraping off the surface from the muse of someone else
(Pre-chorus)
Again, and again
Again, and again
(Chorus)
So where are, the originals?
These are the same songs, that I have heard before
So why don't you, come up with something new?
These are the same words, that someone else said before
(Bridge)
Relics of the past, cloned until we're all the same
(Chorus)
So where are, the originals?
These are the same songs, that I have heard before
So why don't you, come up with something new?
These are the same words, that someone else said before

(Verse)
We knew this day
Would come to end
What have we done
I hate this place
You've put me in
What will I do
When the truth comes out?
(Chorus)
You wanted more
I couldn't give you anything
You tried so hard
Take it away from me
(Verse)
Another day
Of giving in
What have I done?
I hate the taste
Of temptation
I'll disappear
When the truth comes out
(Chorus)
You wanted more
I couldn't give you anything
You tried so hard
Take it away from me
I can't afford
To throw away everything
We've gone to far
Take it get away from me
(Bridge)
There's no way I can run from the truth
And there's no where to hide
There's no way you can run from the truth
And it's not worth the fight
It looks like we've made things a mess
Let's just close the door
It's time that we gave it a rest
You've poisoned the air
(Chorus)
You wanted more
I couldn't give you anything
You tried so hard
Take it away from me
I can't afford
To throw away everything
We've gone to far
Take it get away from me
Take it away from me
Take it get away from me
Take it away from me

Walk Away
05:24
|
|||
|
(Verse)
Within a shadow
Casted by all these walls
(Pre-chorus)
Falling in my soul
Wearing thin my shell
Falling down in this hole
In this hole I've found
(Chorus)
Will I ever find the words to say to break away?
If I decide to walk away I won't turn back
If I ever find the words to say to break away
Will I decide to walk away and not turn back?
(Verse)
Trapped in solitude
Confined by expectation
Feeling the urge to flee and rise above these wasted dreams
There's a crack in the wall and I reach through too soon
(Pre-chorus)
Falling in my soul
Wearing thin my shell
Falling down in this hole
In this hole I've found
(Chorus)
Will I ever find the words to say to break away?
If I decide to walk away I won't turn back
If I ever find the words to say to break away
Will I decide to walk away and not turn back?
(Bridge)
You can't keep holding me back when I've alreay made up my mind
And I'm holding on to everything waiting for my chance to leave
You can't keep pushing me back when I've already made up my mind
And I've waited forever waited forever waited to prove this right
(Final Chorus)
Will I ever find the words to say to break away?
If I decide to walk away I won't turn back
When I find my place don't hate me for the ways I've changed
When its all said and done remember me
(Ending)
Don't hold me down
Can't wait forever
Don't sell me short
I'll stay forever

Still Frame

|
(Verse)
These moments pass us by
Not knowing the patterns of your life
Disguising everything you are
Predictions of where we go from here
(Chorus)
This memory instilled in me
Reminds me how to be a better man
This energy escaping me
I'll just have to do the best I can
(Verse 2)
This story following me
These pages like photos in my mind
Failing, learning how to try
Prevailing in the worst of times
(Chorus)
This memory instilled in me
Reminds me how to be a better man
This energy escaping me
I'll just have to do the best I can
(Bridge)
I know you, would want me
To do what makes me feel alive
I feel you, beside me
You've influenced me to strive
I can't be just like you
But I'll try to get it right
You know I revere you
And your memory remains
As a still frame
(Chorus) x2
This memory instilled in me
Reminds me how to be a better man
This energy escaping me
I'll just have to do the best I can
I can

(Verse)
Saving my youth
These moments we all lose
Breathing the truth
It's the last time that I say I'm through
(Pre-chorus)
Prying open my wounds
Thinking of leaving
(Chorus)
I won't fade away
I'll just keep my distance
Too ashamed of what I've taken
Next time I'll search for reason
In life I change like seasons
Too afraid to stay the same
(Post-chorus)
I don't want to be alone
But I've already met my ghost
I don't want to be alone
But we've already met
(Verse)
Face to face
With the darkness I can't flee
Chasing the sea
Like pieces of broken memories
(Pre-chorus)
Prying open my wounds
Thinking of leaving
(Chorus)
I won't fade away
I'll just keep my distance
Too ashamed of what I've taken
Next time I'll search for reason
In life I change like seasons
Too afraid to stay the same
I'll just fade away
Because I am too ashamed
Of what I've done
I can't keep searching on
It's far too late I've gone
So afraid of passing through
(Post-chorus)
I don't want to be alone
But I've already met my ghost
I don't want to be alone
But we've already met

The Policy
03:49

|
(Verse)
There's a crowd going wild
You managed to sell them a savior and a smile
It's official, (it's affecting us all) you're above us all (and taking it's toll)
Sell your soul with your tongue flapping in the wind
(Chorus)
You won't save us, you'll just run away
You can't fake it, when you make the same mistakes
(Verse)
Tell us now, that the word is out
We've found ourselves between a rock and a crooked king
No chance , no chance at all
To have a choice when you breathing corruption and I can't stand the air
(Chorus)
You won't save us, you'll just run away
You can't fake it, when you make the same mistakes
(Chorus)
You won't save us, you'll just run away
You can't fake it, when you make the same mistakes
You won't save us, you'll just run away
(You won't save us now, you'll just save yourself)
You can't fake it, when you make the same mistakes
(You won't save us now, you'll just save yourself)
No more, I will resign my opinion
I'm not begging you for your attention
No point in exchanging the views of what's spoken
Thank you for your useless wisdom

(Verse)
If you only knew
Things are not going well for you
Maybe in time you'll know
If you only knew
That your hatred's bleeding through
All of your lies
Distorting and bending the truth
(Pre-Chorus)
Waiting for you
To tell me
It's over
Now it's over
(Chorus)
Find yourself
Situated in your head
Try your guilt
Beat and blame yourself instead
(Verse)
Now you're alone
You still ignore your own demise
Gripping you tightly
You lose your will to fight
Now you know
Your true self is finally shown
We all share these demented views
(Pre- Chorus)
Waiting for you
To tell me
It's over
Now it's over
(Chorus)
Find yourself
Situated in your head
Try your guilt
Beat and blame yourself instead
Feeling, your emptiness consume
Every person, everything you knew
(Chorus)
Find yourself
Situated in your head
Try your guilt
Beat and blame yourself instead
Remind yourself, it never mattered anyway
Define your guilt
Admit that in the end you'll pay
You'll pay, one day

Notes From You
03:39

|
(Verse)
When I turn you on, I hear the look on your face
You play my song, good vibes like yesterday
When we were young, creation of a dream
Days go on, and still we play
(Chorus)
You're here now, surrounding me
You move me, you're all I feel
Without you, without a sound
The lights go out, the curtains close
(Verse)
The volume of your whisper, is slowly fading out
I can still remember, that resonating sound
This ever present pulse, coursing through my veins
You speak to me so clearly, so I turn to you
(Chorus) x2
You're here now, surrounding me
You move me, you're all I feel
Without you, without a sound
The lights go out, the curtains close
They close

Cross the Line

|
(Verse)
I've challenged myself for this
I've laid it all down on the line
They wish that they could watch me drown
Amount to failure in their doubts
Now let me show you how
I'll wash them all away
(Pre-Chorus)
Pushing on, Alive
I won't fall behind
(Chorus) x2
Change my will and cross the line
Don't heed the warnings
Standing still pay no mind
To the noise around me
(Verse)
I've taken the time to grow
The path is clear now
I know where to go
They wish that they could watch me drown
Amount to failure in their doubts
Now let me show you how
I'll wash them all away
(Pre-Chorus)
Pushing on, Alive
I won't fall behind
(Chorus) x2
Change my will and cross the line
Don't heed the warnings
Standing still pay no mind
To the noise around me
(Bridge)
All I've done is worth its weight in gold
All I have, I've poured out of my soul
All I've done is worth its weight in gold
All I have delivered from within
((Chorus)
Change my will and cross the line
Don't heed the warnings
Standing still pay no mind
To the noise around me
Change my will and cross the line
Don't heed the warnings
Standing still pay no mind
To the noise surrounding me

Septa
07:37
|
|||
|
(Verse)
Coming to, remnants dissolving rest
Divided by, resonance resolving this
We are wondering
If you can bring us back
Where are we wandering
Within this endless dream?
Seeping through
Boundaries among two worlds
Between the veil
Always separating us
(Chorus)
We are the uninvited
Seeking out salvation
In this moment
We are definitive
Our path is limited
Barriers surrounding us
In this moment
We are all relative
(Verse)
All we are, thrown into oblivion
Residual, reluctant to awakening
We are wondering
If you can bring us back
Where are we wandering
Within this endless dream?
All they are, containing what we seem to see
Insidious, blind to what we think we know
(Chorus)
We are the uninvited
Seeking out salvation
In this moment
We are definitive
Our path is limited
Barriers surrounding us
In this moment
We are all relative
(Bridge)
It seems that none will know
What's real and what is distant
To come this far
And still be so skeptical
When time is of the essence
What will we do?
To come this far
And still be so difficult
(Bridge)
Wait for it to break our ascension
Now the time is gone ,forsaken
Wait for it to break the septa
Now our eyes have closed , awaken
The septa
In the middle
Between two chambers below the sun
We're beginning
To feel the warmth as one
(Chorus)
We are the uninvited
Seeking out salvation
In this moment
We are definitive
Our path is limited
Barriers surrounding us
In this moment
We are all relative
All we are (relative)
