1. ANTHEM

How it all began
With pen and paper in hand
I used to think my thoughts were nothing but scribbled sin
So line after line
I knew in due time
It was make or break and I was ready for mine

This is our time
Our chance to break free
How do you think you know whats good for me?
This is our time
Our chance to break free
So go ahead and try to take it from me
So try to take it from me

So get up with me
Get up on your feet
Not afraid to fight
Afraid to speak
Tell me that you're alright
We won't go down without a fight
Frustrations got me down on my knees
Begging and pleading but no one can hear me
Alone left to fight for myself
Friend or foe or were you something else?

This is our time
Our chance to break free
How do you think you know whats good for me?
This is our time
Our chance to break free
So go ahead and try to take it from me

This is our time
So try to take it from me
This is our time
Our chance to break free
So go ahead and try to take it from me
So try to take it from me

It was a matter of time
Before we figured you out
We will chew you up and we will spit you out

We're gonna spit you out
We're gonna spit you out
We're gonna spit you out
We're gonna spit you out

When the smoke clears and all the damage is done
I can promise that I’m not the only one
So get up with me
Get up on your feet
Not afraid to fight
Afraid to speak

This is our time
Our chance to break free
How do you think you know whats good for me
This is our time
Our chance to break free
So go ahead and try to take it from me

This is our time
So try to take it from me
This is our time
Our chance to break free
So go ahead and try to take it from me
So try to take it from me


2. PAIN & PLEASURE

I felt you in my skin
I find a way out but you dragged me back in
Pushing me to this
Make me believe that it's all that I need
It took over me
Made me feel like I knew what was real
Now I've come to see
The pain and pleasure was all I could ever need

You have to learn to forget
So just ignore me in the back of your head
Push back the memories
I can promise it's not worth the stress
Take me away
You took my hand and you pulled me in the
Closer we are it's like the more I forgive
The voices inside my head say
"take me away"

Addicted to the pain
In love with the pleasure
I have a hard time keeping myself together
The more I give the more you take
I bend and I break
But will you ever stay?

Things won't be the same
You pass around the blame like it was nothing but a
Sick and twisted game
Over and over again fucking me up in the end
Now the vision fades
To no surprise I open my eyes and now
I can finally see
The pain and pleasure was all I could ever need

You have to learn to forget
So just ignore me in the back of your head
Push back the memories
I can promise it's not worth the stress
Take me away
You took my hand and you pulled me in the
Closer we are it's like the more I forgive
The voices inside my head say
"take me away"

And all I ever hear is me and how you want it to be
I think it's time to react and I'm not holding back
I think it's time to leave so take your memories
And get the fuck away from me

The pain and pleasure was all I could ever need
Over and over again fucking me up in the end

You have to learn to forget
So just ignore me in the back of your head
Push back the memories
I can promise it's not worth the stress
Take me away
You took my hand and you pulled me in the
Closer we are it's like the more I forgive
The voices inside my head say
"take me away"

Addicted to the pain
In love with the pleasure
I have a hard time keeping myself together
The more I give the more you take
I bend and I break
But will you ever stay?

Addicted to the pain
In love with the pleasure
I have a hard time keeping myself together
The more I give the more you take
I bend and I break
But will you ever stay?


3. VICIOUS CYCLE

The pain the lies
I can see it, i can see it in your eyes
The pain the lies i can see it
I can see it in your eyes

The pain the lies
I can see it, i can see it in your eyes
The pain the lies
I can see it

Don't bite the hand that feeds
I can promise that you’ll always need me
You're kiss (You're kiss)
Your touch (Your touch)
It was never enough

Waiting and waiting and contemplating
These pessimistic thoughts are the only things
That I'm thinking god forgive me
I keep on self-medicating
It's not like I can stop
You don't know what I'm feeling

You build me up
Just to tear me back down
Full circle going round and round
You build me up
Just to tear me back down
Full circle going round and round
I can't sleep, I can't think, I can't eat
Done with these things that you're doing to me

Dig, dig your nails into me
Clawing at my skin can't you let me be
Do I need it? do I need it? Yes I do!
Your body, your soul
Give me your mind
I need total control
You never use it
Watch me abuse it
Make you pay for the life that you ruined

Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out

Waiting and waiting and contemplating
These pessimistic thoughts are the only things
That I'm thinking god forgive me
I keep on self-medicating
It's not like I can stop
You don't know what I'm feeling
You don’t know

You build me up
Just to tear me back down
Full circle going round and round
You build me up
Just to tear me back down
Full circle going round and round
I can't sleep, I can't think, I can't eat
Done with these things that you're doing to me

Tear me back down
Full circle going round and round

Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out


4. FADING AWAY

Take a look

They said forget to live
They said forget to breathe
I can feel the weight crashing down on me
Filling my lungs until I can’t breathe

Round and round I go
Pacing my room with nothing to show
Staring at a blank page
My thoughts escape me
My only vice is coming to an end
(coming to an end)

Back when it started happening
My thoughts escaped
I was trapped inside of them
It's complicated and affecting my health
So take a look at yourself
Yeah, take a look at yourself

(take a look)

Round and round I go
Pacing my room with nothing to show
Staring at a blank page
My thoughts escape me
My only vice is coming to an end
(coming to an end)

Back when it started happening
My thoughts escaped
I was trapped inside of them
It's complicated and affecting my health
So take a look at yourself
Yeah, take a look at yourself
This isn’t how I imagined it
All the words you said were paper thin
It's like I couldn’t even find myself
Or just the words to express the way you’re making me feel

Take a look
And the room spins
I start to lose control
I think it's about time that I let it go

Fading away, Fading away
I'm numb and I’m Fading away, Fading away
Another day fades to grey, fades to grey
So I ask "Who’s to blame? Who’s to blame?"
Fading away, Fading away
I'm numb and I’m Fading away, Fading away

Back when it started happening
My thoughts escaped
I was trapped inside of them
It's complicated and affecting my health
So take a look at yourself
Yeah, take a look at yourself
This isn’t how I imagined it
All the words you said were paper thin
It's like I couldn’t even find myself
Or just the words to express the way you’re making me feel

I remember when it started happening


5. CATALYST

You took the words straight from my mouth
And it's a shame that it didn't turn out the way you said
So I took everything that's left inside this head
And I let it out

I bite my tongue for the last time
Just in case I need it for the next rhyme
It goes on and on
Yeah, it never stops
I slowly watched your time fall off the clock
Do you feel a thing as it drains your life away?
You had your hands around my neck
Or so you thought

I saw your true face
You're nothing more then the fuel to my flame
I didn't think I would be here today
If you didn't light the fire along the way
I saw your true face
You're nothing more than the fuel to my flame
I didn't think I would be here today
If you didn't l light the fire along the way

One swipe away match stick in hand
You'll burn it all
First chance you get you'll light that match
And let the ashes fall
Pushing away through long nights and the days
So I can make the change that I needed to make I say
Pushing away through long nights and the days
So I can make the change that i needed to make

I saw your true face
You're nothing more then the fuel to my flame
I didn't think I would be here today
If you didn't light the fire along the way
I saw your true face
You're nothing more than the fuel to my flame
I didn't think I would be here today
If you didn't l light the fire along the way

You struck the match it lets you burn it all
You struck the match it lets you burn it all
You had your chance and now you lost it all
You tried to cheat the game and now you lost it all

So I suppose that's how the story goes
Another loss as it comes to a close

I saw your true face
You're nothing more then the fuel to my flame
I didn't think I would be here today
If you didn't light the fire along the way
I saw your true face
You're nothing more than the fuel to my flame
I didn't think I would be here today
If you didn't l light the fire along the way

Burn
