1. DENOUEMENT

Today is the day
The day I relinquish the pain
Take your lies and your games,

You ruled my life but I'm ending your reign

Today is the day
The day I relinquish the pain
Take your lies and your games,
You ruled my life but I'm ending your reign

Today is the day
The day I relinquish the pain
Take your lies and your games,
You ruled my life but I'm ending your reign

Today is the day
The day I relinquish the pain
Take your lies and your games,
You ruled my life but I'm ending your reign

These two eyes have seen a lot of fucked up things in their time,
From believer straight to disbelief
Take your lies, and shove them where the sun won't shine
Idolize the things that never come to life

All those nights I slept warm in your deceit
I should have known that I was alone
A bed of snakes
Another heart breaks

You never gave me a reason
Never showed me a sign
The glass was always half empty
Like the sands of time
You're fucking dead weight
I need to cut you out

Every time that you cross my mind
I'm reminded why I let you go
You don't own me anymore

Outcasted from the world that I used to love
Outcasted like a shadow contorted by the sun
You are finished, your reign is over
Empty handed taken for granted

Every time that you cross my mind
I'm reminded why I let you go

Every time that you cross my mind
I'm reminded why I let you go
You don't own me anymore
Today is the day
The day that I will say
It's finally time to let you go
Today is the day
The day that I will say
It's finally time to let you go
You don't own me anymore

You don't own me anymore
You don't own me


2. REAPER

I've sat back for far too long
I've kept my mouth shut
I've kept my lips sealed

Your voice is no louder than anyone else's
I'll sew your mouth shut
I'll make your skin peel
You're not immune to failures and imperfections
A roof doesn't necessarily mean protection
You will lose everything that you've created
After all is said and done it will be you who's devastated

You're a fraud

Man of the house,
Where is your family?
Yet you call yourself a man of God
I heard their cries
I hear their screams
You'll scream

Fuck,
I will haunt you in your dreams

She would never admit that you're the one thing holding her back
But I know, I've seen the pain she tries to hide from the world
You've shown her nothing but anger
Set a twisted example
I'll love her like you never could

There is no time for redemption
Cut out your eyes you don't deserve to fucking see
There is no time for forgiveness
Get off your throne and get the fuck back on your knees

Teaching her a lesson shouldn't be worth losing her
Let your face shine in the presence of the devil

I shouldn't have to watcher lose her fire
I shouldn't have to watch the color leave her eyes
Your only job was to love and inspire
I'll give her a heart that never dies
Never dies

She would never admit that you're the one thing holding her back
But I know, I've seen the pain she tries to hide from the world
You've shown her nothing but anger
Set a twisted example
I'll love her like you never could

There is no time for redemption
Cut out your eyes you don't deserve to fucking see
There is no time for forgiveness
Get off your throne and get the fuck back on your knees


3. DEAD AND GONE

Do you even know?
Do you even care what I would have done to have your heart again?
Left all alone

Kept company only by the ghost you created
You left your scars with me
Now you've moved on
Found another excuse to fill the void

Remember all those nights when I held you tight
And you told me where you wanted to be?
Right next to me forever
What went wrong?
Your soulless eyes
Proved that the person I knew is gone

Terrified
How can I be free of this cage?
Your words built a prison that I cannot escape
Take back your love
You don't know a thing about it anyway
Imagine what life would have been if you gave me what I gave to you
I don't care if you tell everyone the "heartbreak" that I caused you
Just make sure to tell them about the pain you caused me too

Remember all those nights when I held you tight
And you told me where you wanted to be?
Right next to me forever
What went wrong?
Your soulless eyes
Proved that the person I knew is gone

You're gone
Dead and gone
Dead and gone
Dead and gone
Dead and gone
You're gone, gone, gone

Remember all those nights when I held you tight
And you told me where you wanted to be?
Right next to me forever
What went wrong?
Your soulless eyes
Proved that the person I knew is gone

5. IDLE HANDS

My bones are weak, my mind is torn
I'm crawling through the darkness
I can't see anything, anything at all

Deception hides as my veins are running dry
I'm losing sight, I can't determine day from night
My stomach is turning, my vision is blurring
When will I regain consciousness?
Will I keep drowning or find my sanity?
I cannot let this eat me alive

This time I'll take a stand
So sick and tired of running away
Every day is the same

Held under your thumb
Broken and wasting away
Unable to stand, my will is crumbling
You tried to fight back but it's too late and I'm over it
You tried to fight back but it's too late and I'm over it

This time you'll probably think that I'll just stand in line, get left behind
Stay lost among the sheep you blindly lead
Led away to their slaughter
You'll look at we built for ourselves
You'll lie and you'll steal
Tear it down just to watch us fall,
Expect us to be conquered,
Lie down and beg for the life you offer

Victims of the circumstance
All we wanted was a place to call home
Raise yourself up a little bit higher
When you come crashing down you'll be lost in my shadow

So throw me to the waves, I'll put my faith in the see
The tide will save me while it drags you away

I will no longer submit to that what's holding me back
I've lived too long with failure as a standard
It's time I draw the line and redefine
This addiction to surrender,
I'm taking back what's mine
This stagnation burns, it burns our hearts
It burns our fucking minds
You made me so weak, but I found strength again

This time you'll probably think that I'll just stand in line, get left behind
So look at what we've built for ourselves
You tried and you tried to tear us down, but we watched you fall
We overcame, we conquered the sorry excuse for a life you offered
You made me so weak but I found strength again


6. D.S.M.

Facing the future never left me so scared
Second guessing decisions I haven't made yet
I've failed before and I know I will again

I can't change the fact that I am just a man
(Face to face, face to face)
Face to face with the scars of my past
Face to face with my fears and I'm not coming back from this
(Face to face, face to face)

I can't help but run rather than fix the problem
I'm living stuck in the past
It's easier said than done, and I'm watching this train wreck over and over again

Tell me that I will be just fine, at least just for a little while
Keep me safe tonight, I won't last the night
Tell me my life won't pass me by, that one day I'll realize
My mistakes are what made me who I am in the first place

Try living your life owned by persistent distrust
Of everything that you think and feel is right, it'll drive you insane
And now I'm counting the days until this all goes away
And I'm finally free to change my ways

Am I going insane?

My body fails me as my chest clenched up, it's all too much to take
The ground is crumbling at my feet, it's falling out from underneath
I'm broke, I'm sick, I'm lost, I don't know what to do with myself
The sky is falling, the sky is falling

I can't help thinking that I'm cursed with monotony
Not a lack of passion, just a lack of self-esteem
Every word they say resounding in my head, "You'll never make it."
And I believed it
I wanna know what it means to be tired
I wanna know what it means to feel silence
Tell me I'll be alright, tell me I'll be just fine

Tell me that I will be just fine, at least just for a little while
Keep me safe tonight, I won't last the night
Tell me my life won't pass me by, that one day I'll realize
My mistakes are what made me who I am
