1. SMOKE AND DUST

I got your back; we'll give them hell when they attack
You know they're sure to win but daddy is teaching
Hold your ground the shit's going down
Feel the calm

Line your sites; got no time to read them their rights
I'm getting it on and breaking the tension
Shed some lead, we'll put them to bed
Just stay calm

[Chorus:]
Yeah free the lust
We'll all go down
In smoke and dust

Now I'm peeved, you know I've got no time to bleed
Show your teeth in the roar we're the dogs of war
Rage of sound, the shit's going down
Feel the calm

I'm taking the bait; don't wait for dust to dissipate
I hope you talked to the preacher
Man it's bad, it looks like we're had
Just stay calm

[Chorus:](x2)

(Instrumental)

Flanked on the right; to my right hey let's keep it tight
It doesn't look good but keep your position
Hold your ground, the shit's going down
Feel the calm

Blow this place; I am the rage becoming hate
I'm loosing control and I'm loosing my reason
I am the rage, I am the rage, I am the
I am calm

[Chorus:](x2)


2. STRAW

Dust off your boots and breathe in deep where lungs are raw
But you beware that you don't break that filthy straw

[Chorus:]
(Brace) - I'm broken
(Brace) - You're broken
(Brace) - We're broken
The straw that broke the camel's back

Like lackeys we are always born to pacify
The things that knock on lidded doors behind our eyes

[Chorus:]

(Instrumental)

Erase the motives buried deep inside your head
If you could walk a mile in my shoes you'd be dead

[Chorus:]


3. FEED THE VIBE

As I was saying you think too much
Not everything is meant to be known
You should take the time to stop this reckless loop
Consent and concede to analyze why you're paralyzed heed the word of the wise

[Pre-Chorus:]
Feed the Vibe
Feed the Vibe

And like many things that seem profound so is this
Don't waste your time on unimportant clues
A measure of treason for the absence of reason is haunting you
Wrack your brain and contend, rage the fight locked within, make your will the last standing hooligan

[Pre-Chorus:]

[Chorus:]
Break the pride, bend the knee
To your face I point at thee
Face these eyes, make me know
That you'll change your life - Oh
Feed the Vibe, Feed the Vibe

Bridge:
To reach
To reach into
To reach into solitude
To reach into solitude you must sheath the lies

Send the reflex of your past let it go
Send it all far away
But wow to the one who holds on to the sum of everything said and done
I can't begin to express how the world will detest why you always digress

[Pre-Chorus:]

[Chorus:]


4. LATELY I. . .

Lately I… have looked inside myself
Lately I… have lived as someone else
From the spark that was my youth have I become a man?
Lately I… have buried my head in the sand

[Chorus:]
I awake with the sun - And I'm biting my tongue
Not prepared to begin - Counting sleepless nights
As the night closes in - I confess to the wind
I don't want to begin - Counting sleepless nights

Lately I… Lately I… heard voices in my head
Doing time inside my mind wondering what's been said
Lately I… found truth in the sand instead

[Chorus:]
I awake with the sun - And I'm biting my tongue
Not prepared to begin - Counting sleepless nights
As the night closes in - I confess to the wind
I don't want to begin - Counting sleepless nights
I hate the sun - I bite my tongue
I'm not prepared - For sleepless nights
The night comes in - I tell the wind
I can't begin - Those sleepless nights
I can't begin - Counting sleepless nights
I can't begin - Counting sleepless nights

Bridge: I taste the sand through lips clogged with shame and tears
I taste the aftermath before I face my fears

[Chorus:]

(Instrumental)


5. BEND

You pushed me back I guess I thought you're just a game
So then I went ahead and changed your smile into your pain

[Chorus:]
I bend my morals
To please the ends
Faced with the means
I stand condemned

I am the tempest in your eyes look what I made
I do regret the things I did; I do regret the price you paid

[Chorus:]

(Instrumental)

Tough Luck, Tough Luck, Tough Luck, You have…
Tough Luck, Tough Luck, Tough Luck, You have…

Yesterday I recall your eyes shining so bright
I want to take the past away; I'll do whatever to make it right

[Chorus:]

I stand condemned (x2)
Faced with the means (x2)


6. FEEL

You turn your head when I step inside your world, yeah
And the weight of a heavy intrusion rains on your charade
There you stand unmade

[Chorus:]
Feel this (I'm the mirror)
Feel me (I'm the mirror)
By this you'll know that I have come, I have come

You seek the right to question everything in which you've been bred, yeah
And suddenly you face uncertainty in the certain
Things you always took for granted

[Chorus:]

[Bridge: ]
Don't beat you're head, don't burn your bed
When you drink the cup of things you've said
Watch out you know, you've got a chance
Cuz now, you see behind the glance
You've been brought down, you've done enough
Stepped in the fire, bird on a wire
But you can't fly from the tears until you face your fears inside

(Instrumental)

And are you reaching for a chance there's something more worth living
Do you realize?
Face the meaning, your life's meant for living
Don't give in to rabid perceptions - turn around

[Chorus:]

I have now come
