1. INTRODUCTION

(Instrumental)


2. FORFEITURE

Insincere your passions are,
Just a paper mache of all your insecurities.
Is is really unfair of me to point this out?
But it isn't too late for you to turn yourself around.
Stand up, and take responsibility for the things you call your own.
It's all about what you're willing to give.
Are you fulfilled with this surreal way of living?
Just stand up and be counted.

(You'd rather be loved for someone that you're not,
Than hated for who you really are.
Hopefully one day you find yourself.)
(We walk alone. We stand alone.)
It's all about what you're willing to sacrifice
in order to make you better than you are.
It's all about what you're willing to sacrifice
in order to make you worth the breaths you take.

You're wasting half your days. Nobody can rescue you.
You are your only help.


3. COMFORTING OUR THOUGHTS IN A CONTINUOUS BLUE

Your voice lifts my spirits to a height once held by gods.
Your silence sparks my dialogue,
Empty words with subtle weapons.

Do we speak in tongues to taste something?
Or is it to convince ourselves that we know more than we do?
(I feel my stomach turning inside out.)
All I know is I know nothing.
It'd be naive to think I'm not still learning.


4. SEEING THINGS THROUGH WATER

From what I see the whole world is sleeping.
Society, the sandman. Serving you your nightly dose at six.
Overanalysing, and overprotecting your children.
But not me, I'm stuck thinking about how to get you out.

(Winds from the south. We won't look back.)

What do you know about life? Or the beauty thats surrounding you?
What do you know about life? If you're ready we'll show you.
Somebodies thinking for you and you're accepting what you're being spoon fed.
You think you know, but you know what they've taught you.
Challenge what they know and find out for yourself.


5. COLOUR SPACE

(Instrumental)


6. THE ONLY VIRTUE

If you seek your eternal sunshine, you must first look inside yourself.
If your mind is clouded, you'll never see what lies in front of you.
These ties were always fake. Put together to make you feel safe.
It's your armor that's choking.
How protected do you really feel?
The path that you've chosen will leave you with nothing.

(Your humility will faulter)
It's your dying thoughts that will fail you,
The only redemption discard everything you were.
(Your humility will faulter)
It's your waking thoughts that will save you,
The only redemption remake everything you are.

How many steps away do you think you could possibly be?
Your in control of who you wanna be.
Your only saviour will be yourself.
(With all we have, We'll chain ourselves to what we know)

This will never be the same again. You will never be the same again.
This will never be the same again. How could you ever be?


7. FURIOUS GEORGE

Why are we surrounded by pretentious ignorance?
Holding close your vanity, Is it your priority?
Well you're no better than your enemy.
This world is in a sorry state when a snake can disguise itself as your friend.
How were you to know this friend would kill you?

(We see. We see through all you are. Come stand above)
You think you are more than you are,
But I know you're worth nothing more than the person standing next to you.
(We see. We see through all you are. Come stand above)
Everyone thinks they're more than they are,
Once I turn my back you'll be the first to sell me out.
As soon as I turn my back you'll be the one to sell me out.
You will be the one who brings me to my knees.

(Are you who you want to be? It's not to late to colour your space.)
Morality, I feel is no longer existent. I'm no longer there.
But I'm proud of where I've come from and that I've chosen where I'm going.

How can you stand for this?
Aren't you suppose to value your friends not betray them when you have the chance?
How can I stand here know that you are my enemy.
Your past is of no concern to me, rather how you seem to be living
