1. OBNOXIOUS SAMPLE

(Instrumental)


2. SEARCHING FOR A REASON TO CARRY ON

All I ever wanted was a
Place to call my home,
Your hand to hold
Watch it all fade away,
Watch my love fall short of my dreams
I drown in sorrow
Take one last look back
At what is left
I can't continue to live like this
When will this emptiness pass?
Carrying images of yesterdays
Life becomes hopeless
Am I bitter or am I dead?


3. FROM THIS DAY FOWARD

My halo burns out a million mournings ago
How this life saddens a new day


4. SUCH WORDS WERE UPON THE TONGUES OF DEMONS

Your deceit
Has stained your flesh
And your obscurities
Have proven themselves so sickening
How can you live with yourself
When you are your own disgust?
Do you know who you are when all you are is lost,
And not even forgiveness can save you
From what you have become inside?
Was there ever a moment
When we saw in the same light
And insecurities were not reality
You can separate yourself from the truth
But when the sunset dies
So will you


5. UNFULFILLED DREAMS ARE A BURNING UTOPIA

It doesn't make it easier
To think its not there at all
Pretending won't fulfill dreams
I can hear those words
Like it was yesterday
Still you don't know
Sad eyes
Dreams that will never be are not easy to cope with
There are no more hands to help me when I fall
I'm left wiping away tears
And praying for the sweetest of unhappy endings


6. CARAPATHIAN

I've exhausted dreams
And aspirations
I have failed myself
And those that I love
And I dream no more
Burdened by false hopes
There words that once meant
Something to me are now just empty
I am down on my knees
Praying for you to comfort me
Nothing in return again
I wait with open hands for you
To spit out these words
So I can breathe again


7. ...SHED FOR YOU AND MANY

My wrists burn so deep inside
Slash at the skin
And let life flow warmly
Through my hands
And you can stand by and watch this happen to me
Because that's what I've expected and nothing more
So tear my throat with anticipation
I've waited so long for this
When these thoughts grow tired
I'll close my eyes
And you'll be gone


8. A THOUSAND FALLING SKIES

Stitch and burn
Flesh upon flesh
For no reason and no explanation
Promises are made to be broken
My angels a barer
Of sorrows that I could do to
Live without
Always hating myself
For things that have gone wrong
Things I could never change
How can I ever
Be without what means so much to me
You took it all away
The paths I walk down
Once paved with gold
Just crack beneath
My feet and
Smiles don't shine as brightly as they used to
Because I don't know what it feels like
To be loved


9. EVERYTHING

No voice of reason
Can heal such an open wound
No voice of reason
Can completely soothe
So much trust is
Place within love
And so much is lost
When you're unavoidably let down
I'm dying without you
One day I will
Learn to carry on
But this is not that day
I just wish
You could understand
But you don't want to
All I have left is hope
I don't depend on this hope
To heal my heart
