1. Embryonic

what is the pain/you'll never feel/what is the life/i'll never heal/i took that from you/sacrifice to know what grows inside/destroyed by me/incubated/the life that's born to die/i can feel it moving inside/the life is washed away/sterile and incubated/in death the life will pay/i took that from you/i took that from you/i will create you/i will create you/ the life that's born to die


2. Surrender

I lie alone/the fog surrounds me and I know that it's not right/i must escape this awful state of night/so here I tread/and standing still without a phase of sight to dread/the noise completes the pictures in my head/you learn you must surrender/it's taken time for you to realize/that what you felt is not forever/you find you must surrender/and now you see the world with no disguise/and face the truth of now and never/the rain pours down on me/ the clarity i sought would make us free/but in the depths of fate/the answers drowned beneath this mud of hate/i gasp to breathe the cause/that brought us to this place yet here we pause/ and in the fear of dawn/the innocence I dreamt about is gone


3. Delay

i thought there was a place/where stars shone bright with grace/and rain fell slow to time/as wind dispersed its seed/and now I learn I can't revive the past I've lost/and I shall pay the cost/disuaded by the state that traps my mind in place/delay/there is always time/but how much will i be calling mine today/i will search to find/a chance that else may only bring delay/i'll repeat the line/replace the marks insisting that I stay/towards the sun that blinds my way/ delay/ i can see now you're lost inside the trap that holds you down/the safety of your net creates a yearning to regress/on back receding towards a tiny place that holds you close/to feel the dark it makes within your yearning to embrace/the fear that grows inside keeps churning every day/as the world surrounds and moves to block your way/and now you're holding back the things that you regret/but reaching towards the sky brings more than you could bet


4. Rewind

a time of changing has begun/the leaves are fallen and undone/inside your spirit starts to run/and all my fears are overcome/i feel the time has come and that it's for real/i see the future turn inside of me/i find i'm ready to rewind/and erase the pain that's haunted me in time/i watch the days as they fly by/the turmoil ceases to subside/beyond the shadows freedoms hide/and now the chances have arrived/i can't escape/this feeling that my world's about to break/and I can't wait for all that's built inside to finally wake/ this time I know that what's ahead will likely overflow/although my fear is bound to grow/as time will show/i can't escape the knowledge that my world is full of hate/i can't resist the urge to seek out all that might exist/as I tread on the world may think i'm gone/and erase the pain that's traced what I've become/it's all undone


5. Still

still I can hear your voice/still I await the choice to find/your peace of mind/still i awake so cold/still hear your breath unfold/your hand on solid land/lost I await your call/lost I can hear you fall/the same cold misty rain/here I am found at last/here I'll forget the past/and find what's truly mine/i can hear your conscience dancing/i can feel the fear unfold/i can see the tension grasping/now I know the still you hold/now I know the still you hold/ i can still hear you/i can still feel you/you left a mark that will not ever change/now that I will find your peace of mind/your path awaits me/i can't erase the/unending touch that makes my breath unfold/i'll be here until you break the still/i'll be here until you break the still


6. X-Ray

What's inside me? A part of me awakes/to light that shines against the knowledge that we break/ and as you tear it down/i see the truth that binds your answer's frown/what's inside me?/i see what you can't find/i see what's inside me/what's inside me?/what you can't find/i see you walk away/i cannot share the fate that I have seen/I know that what's to come is not so far away/and love is seen beyond the answers laid in front of me/another way to see the path that leads me in my dreams/and here I wake to be embraced by love inside/now I cannot hide/now I cannot hide/you've grasped until you breached/all the light is gone/and waked before the night had dawned/ponder my mind alone/now I can see beyond your throne


7. Incision

You cut right into me/i didn't think you'd leave yourself to see/and now we'll never know/ the lessons you had wanted us to show/i never did remind you/ the things that you had felt I can't recall/and I won't find you/your selfish need for freedom made you fall/and now you're free/will always be/it's hard to see/i cannot see your face/behind the tracks you claim to have erased/and since your place is gone/i cannot feel where you and I belong/i knelt to find you/but couldn't help but hear you tell me not/to reach behind you/and taste the fear that lead us to your plot/and now I can't remind you/that more existed than you claimed to be/and I won't find you/your selfish need for justice made you free/you cut right into me/i didn't think you'd leave yourself to see/and now we'll never know/the lessons you had wanted us to show/and now you're free/will always be/it's hard to see/and now you're free/will always be


8. Phobic

you see inside/you see inside/you read my mind/you read my mind/you survived a hellish dream/ now the light can mend the seams/ but your will wraps tight around/ watch the sky come crashing down/ you breathe/ believe/ you touch/ won't face I need you so much/ embrace/ encase/ I fear/ your love for me is so clear/ a love that's so defined/ you'll never wake the newness that can be/ a happiness so kind/ mistaken for seductive falsity/ just knowing that you're mine/ erases all reverse complexity/ the emptiness unwinds an unexpected flexibility/ I arrived on foreign land/ with no one to hold my hand/ but my guide came shining through/ from the fog alone stood you/ came shining through/ alone stood you


9. Needle

Now the names are chosen/and the cage is open/push the needle right through/soon i'll be without you/don't know how I will feel inside/every day I can see it lie/holding back the pain waiting ready to die/hold the subject down/slide the needle in place/i can feel it inside/shows across my face/every day I can see it lie holding back the pain waiting ready to die/go to sleep sweet angel/let me wipe the pain away/let the drug control you/just relax and close your eyes/every day I can see it lie holding back the pain waiting ready to die


10. Chosen Fate

unborn I feed on you alone/ when will my soul become my own?/ soon I'll awake the world to see/ learning a false reality/ I'm left with no escape/ won't live with chosen fate/ existence is a fraud/ who says you should play God?/ the future is at stake/ a new life to awake/ a life of every wish/ perfection for the rich/ attempt to fight disease/ and put our souls at ease/ programmed lethality/ destroyed mortality/ I'm left with no escape/ won't live with chosen fate/ this time we are too late/ there's no time left to wait/ genetic engineer/ what could there be to fear?/ biotechnology/ our new theology/ created by our skill/ what happened to free will?/ specific role to fill/ still not allowed to kill/ the future is at stake/ a new life to awake/ I'm left with no escape/ won't live with chosen fate
