Lyrics


1. NO EXCUSE

All your life's been sick and tired
Painted skin so pale
All those you have lifted up
Its hard to watch them fail
Symptom of
Symptom of
Symptom of yourself
Truth be told
Truth be told
Just a victim now

Someday you'll see you are a fool
You make me waste my breath its true...I'm not impressed

No excuse for you

Guard the truth and hide the lies
Call yourself a friend
Don't expect loyalty
That you can't comprehend
Victim of
Victim of
Victim of yourself
Truth be told
Truth be told
Just a symptom now
You make me waste my breath
Its true...that time will prove

Drag me in and out and down until its over
Drag me down


2. I AM THE TAKER

I want to be over it
I want to be out of this negative
Today I am bored to death, seeing red
I can't live like this...no
Awake at the break of dawn
I feel like its something new going wrong
feeling of impending doom, what to do?
Can't get through this life alone...
Can't forgive me anymore...
Can't see through me
I'm no longer invisible

I am the taker
You are the dagger

One thing I have got to say
I don't think that I can wait anyway,
My love is a hard to break prison gate
I can't take this pain...no
I've got to be free of fear
Don't want to believe that your out of here
You blame me for everything you can feel...
Can't get through this life alone...
Can't forgive me anymore...
Can't see through me
I'm no longer invisible


3. THE RECKONING

I used to suffer and hate
To feel complete...
Life comes and goes suddenly
I forget to breathe...
You're killing me...avenge it
Punish me to end this
Fake to a fault
And you are playing god today

Waiting for the reckoning
We're enemies...I'm not your long lost friend
I don't think I can withstand
With every day of pain
We're closer to the reckoning...

I seem to be gravitating
To your disease...
You're killing me...avenge it
Punish me to end this
Fake to a fault
And you are playing god today


4. RANK AND FILE

I used to roll among the hourly
I used to listen to them piss and moan
I watch you cut the throats of all of them
And monitor it from a boardroom throne

I swore that I would never take the path
That leads me down another dead end road
I will not cower to the corporate grind
You wouldn't dare to cross the picket line

Pain to pride
Work is uninspired
Tried and true
So I walk the wire
I don't mind
If I bleed a while
Feels so right to be Rank and File
Till I die

I used to live life like a passerby
Afraid to run I was afraid to walk
Now I'm a soldier in the union strike
We stand together we will never fall...


5. LOVE IS DEAD

Places in the heart
I can't begin to visit
Like a troubadour
Poet with no precision

I played the words inside my head a thousand times
You were breathing our last breath

Love is dead to me
I am numb
Like you expected me to be
Love is dead to me
We are wasted
Left to die in misery

Psycho from the start
No way we'd ever finish
Once a work of art
Why'd you have to diminish

I hear your voice inside my head
A thousand lies
Deceiving, weaving our death web

Love is dead to me
I am numb
Like you expected me to be
Love is dead to me
We are wasted
Left to die in misery


6. THROUGH HELL

You look like you've been through hell
Straight from the back of his hand
Once I place my self inside your head
He doesn't look like a man

You twisted your truth to the ground
Do you like how you feel when
Your misery follows you down
And twisted your truth to the ground

Manipulated again
Underachieving and sad
Stop reflecting on where you've been
Maybe then you have a chance


7. WAKE UP

From one explosion
World was frozen
Earth of ice
Sun is getting closer
So corrosive in the sky

Wake up
Wake up
You can't sleep forever
Wake up
Face this change
Don't waste tomorrow
On today...

Stormchasing miser
Fantasize and bring the rain
Promises broken
Lies are spoken
Pain pre-paid


8. CAUSE FOR CONCERN

Mastered temperament
Chaos cave to stress
Manufactured obsession
Leads me into depression
I'm a masochist

Because the father's out of time
Seek out the truth or you go blind
Sit back and watch me lose my mind
This is a cause for concern

Sending messages
Passive aggressive
Masked in procrastination
Basked in lifelong frustration
I'm a nihilist

Because the father's out of time
Seek out the truth or you go blind
Sit back and watch me lose my mind
This is a cause for concern


9. MY END

Pick a side...
Peace? love?
Feast? famine?
And I rape to feed my fear?
Is there anyone left to be near?
I don't know...

Feel my heart
A beaten drum
Tick, ticking away
So slow I've got no soul
I'm the only one who's dead and cold

When I drown
I can hear you grieving, yeah

Can your mind believe
What your eyes can't see
This is my pipedream
This is my end...

Sick and trite
I pick a fight...
Meaningless in life
No faith my fate unfolds
Just another wound you'll never close...

Stomach rot
You're not sick, you're not sick in denial
Or broken on the floor
Blew your chance...you can't even the score

When I drown
I can hear you grieving, yeah

Can your mind believe
What your eyes can't see
This is my pipedream
And is my end...


10. CONTROL

All the faithful take their places
Plant their feet firm on the ground
Faces frozen
Merely slaves
Emancipated by the sound

Welcome to our destination
No discretion will be used
World outside so self deflating
Let the pit empower you

I abandon my soul
When everyone's out of control
My mind in overload
When everyone's out of control

Tell a story with the gazes
Owning them for just tonight
Punishing with such amazement
Never let the feeling die

Welcome to this elevation
Watch us rising, soon to fly


11. FINAL HOUR

Gravity
Send me back to reality
Not free, not yet
Prisoner
I wait for dark
Escape at midnight

Cut
Blood
Dead
Raped

Time...it's the final hour

I can't believe
The pain that I feel
Is happening to me
I grind against the grade
At least I find myself in failing
