1. ENSNARED

I scream but no one can hear me
I dream 'cause no one is near me
I'm falling, falling
and awake from a deep cold sweat
Abandon this feeling
When will you be coming home?
A light in a a dark room
And I'm obsessed with the fire

I need to know why
Your candle's still burning
How did I get so ensnared
You, you've got me in the palm of your hand

These same four wall drive me crazy
I sit and stare out the window
The look on the faces
tell more than they care to
Where does the mirror lie?
It's screaming out to me
get out of here fast
get your mind off the past
But I'm alone in a crowded room

I need to know why
your candle's still burning
How did I get so ensnared?

Feels like I'm dying in your web
spinning around in my head
Don't leave me hanging alone, alone
by a thread

You're just like a fix I need
and will you make me bleed?
You ripped me down to my soul
and now you're gone


2. DO YOU BELIEVE

A weightless endless word
I float beneath the wake
Every breath I take like oil in water
The deeper you go, the harder to see the light
IN the steel blue water
Is there any order?
Is there intelligence
or just indifference?

Do you really believe?
Have you lost your mind?
You're too naive
Do you really believe?
I'm waiting for the punch line
you're too easy to deceive

She's so sure she's on her way to heaven...
perfect typecast in a televangelist's dream
With open arms, welcome home Jimmy
When the truth hurts, she's says it's just not true
Will you spare me?
Now that you're saved who'll save you from yourself?

Do you really believe?
It's your way or the highway
Latitude you can't conceive

Hollow eyes, empty face
relaying lies with a clue no trace
Ignorant inbreeding recipe
pious deception in every sense of the word
I'm by no means a brain, no
But someone's pulling something over you

They're a new power tribe
with the numbers to bribe
And I can't swallow what you're feeding
A crusade in hypocrisy
'Cause you can kill when he's not your creed
Rules bent for your offering
Charlie and Lucy's enough for me


3. ICONOCLAST

Take my hand, child
be as one of my angels
and together we shall walk across the sky
unto the sea of infinite light
Here is where you must leave them
your parents, teachers, those who would be your judges
Dwellers of a dying orb condemned exist
in their war-torn temple for eons to come
Our departure shall be joyous salvation
one final act of sanctifying purity in
which we shall rise ever higher if you'll just take my hand

Your mind just can't face
the terrors of being alone
A rope with no ends
lashing itself to your soul

Don't you close your eyes
Don't believe what they're telling you
Don't be deceived by their lies
Don't you buy what they're selling
They lie

You are not alone
I too feel constrained
trapped by the limitations my material vehicle imposes
I too am forever searching for a sign
I too see that this place has become ruined
as a garden becomes overgrown and infertile
form years of neglect and abuse
We must leave here!
Trust me, and together we shall transcend to the next level

You can't find the will
To see it through on you own
The easy way out
They're dragging you down to their hole

Don't you close your eyes
Don't believe what they're telling you
Don't be deceived by their lies
Don't you fall for the look in their eyes


4. SEASONS

Home
do I call it anymore?
A few days to see what's passed
My old room feels a little smaller
have I ever really left?

Same old faces, dead end places
had to make a break run free
My conscience won't leave each rock alone
bound to find a casualty

It's all coming back to me
Ships set sail to far off places
Tides have turned
the time has blown apart
Ties are broken, words unspoken

Seasons of sorrow
I never thought that time could heal the pain

Alone
down these weathered city streets
to the springtime of my life
Like a first day of school
Pictures from the mind's archives

Hiding places, cold embraces
have to make the break run free
The music is mine alone to face
Virtue is my remedy

It's all coming back to me
This time I know I can face it

'Cause I have grown
harmony within my reach
Mind is open, voice outspoken

Seasons of sorrow
No more fear, time can heal the pain
Better tomorrow
No more tears, dawn after the rain

Hidden from the world to see
The bridge is burned, the map outdated
I'll set a course, trade asylum for the sea
Mind is open, voice outspoken

6. THE SECOND DAY

I woke up in the night
The calm after the fight
dealing with the pain
And then I was realized
I was paralyzed
Wishing it would rain
The morning light had shown
That I was not alone
Sn burning on my skin
And then the rain came down
And I nearly drowned
Dying silently

You don't even know
that my love for you is real
The second day

No words can say
How much I'd do for your

I rise above this place
The silent deadly space
Finally at peace
as I recap the day
I see the men in grey
When will this hatred cease?
We drew the battle lines
His eyes were cold like mine
bodies void of fear
Old friends face one another
An enemy or my brother?
Suddenly so clear

You don't even know
How your love can make me feel
The second day
No words can say
How much I'd give for you


7. THE ART OF WAR

War, you like to fight
another mindles grunt
to be slaughtered in the trenches
and now you're sick
Let's take a look at history
You're the meal at your leader's feast
His your-age son learns to manipulate

Why do we have to die when you tell your lies?
The art of war
Why do we have to pay when you play your games?
The art of war

What's a game without some blood?
Lord of the ascendant
Thousands under foot
gonna send in your hatchet man
Now there's nothing you can't buy
Power addiction is your affliction
Cain to walk from the executioner


8. THE RAIN SONG (LED ZEPPELIN COVER)

It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from
time to time.

Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever thaw. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion - I seek the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall.
