1. HERESY...

(Instrumental)


2. STRAIGHT TO THE FACE

Hello again,
The world is at your stage,
So drop the curtain, kill the lights and go
So fucking bored,
You're all a whisper in a sea of bloody sweat and gold,
Goodbye forever, I'll see you never,
You wannabe, fake, piece of shit motherfuckers,
You said I saved your life, but I wish you'd save mine,
I won't be the one that's left behind.

You are all full of shit,
I'm just looking for a hint of reality,
You are all full of shit,
I'm just looking for a dose of originality.

Hello again,
The world is at your stage,
So drop the curtain, kill the lights and go,
So fucking bored,
You're all a whisper in a sea of bloody sweat and gold,
I won't be your fucking puppet,
I will kill you all and love it.


3. H8 MEH

Stuck living in a narcissistic world,
You can only blame what you see,
The dirty face in the crowd of beauty,
Knows of the lonely place that lies in this hole,
Fuck living in a narcissistic world,
You can only blame what you see,
An ugly face in the crowd of beauty knows not of what we feel,
But of sticks and stones a filthy face in the crowd alone.

Tell me, tell me, do you like the person you see?
Give me a slap on the face so we can call it a day,
Tell me tell me, is it worth the time that you waste?
You fucking love me,
You wanna hate me, but you can't.

So many faces in the crowd,
Under the mask they sing aloud,
Surfacing many insecurities,
Are we better off feeding apparitions alone?

Tell me, tell me, do you like the person you see?
Give me a slap on the face so we can call it a day,
Tell me tell me, is it worth the time that you waste?
You fucking love me,
You wanna hate me, but you can't.

You sing aloud as you judge them,
Hypocrisy prevails.

Tell me, tell me, do you like the person you see?
Give me a slap on the face so we can call it a day,
Tell me tell me, is it worth the time that you waste?
You fucking love me,
You wanna hate me, but you can't.


4. DEAD TREES

Here we are, in the ashes of my desire
All the pieces fall from my chest down into the fire
When we hold on to a feeling so good
All the puzzle pieces will scatter and burn in the mold
I watched the feathers drop to the floor

You were everything that was killing me but I survived
Now you're just a memory stuck in the history of my life
We live, bleed, we die
The moment shared is now a lie

I wanna know, what is this love?
I watched it grow into the mud
I wait impatiently to get away
Now get the fuck away from me

(Woah oh ah, woah ah ah ah)
You were everything that was killing me but I survived
(Woah oh ah, woah ah ah ah)
Now you're just a memory stuck in the history of my life
We live, we bleed, we die
The moment shared is now a lie

Here we are in the ashes of my desire
All the pieces fall from my chest down into the fire

(Woah oh ah, woah ah ah ah)
You were everything that was killing me but I survived
(Woah oh ah, woah ah ah ah)
Now you're just a memory stuck in the history of my life
You were everything that was killing me but I survived
(Woah oh ah, woah ah ah ah)
Our love is just a memory stuck in the regret of the fire
We live, we bleed, we die
The moment shared is now a lie


5. I SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I AM UP TO NO GOOD

Yeah, there are days when I would like to get away
From the shackles that are my own life,
Replay all the negativity inside of me,
Until the fibers of my body rot and die.

Cut the skin,
What lies underneath is evil,
Can't escape,
Picking at the scabs of my mind.

There are days when I would like to fucking get away,
From the misery in my own life,
Inside of me, darkness is alive
And it won't be gone until the demons show,
Falling to the depths below, bury me, bury me.

Cut the skin,
What lies underneath is evil,
Can't escape,
Picking at the scabs of my mind.

Don't think too much,
Let it fade away,
Don't care at all.

There's always something in the way,
Don't ever tread against the current that is me,
Can you feel it? Do you follow me?
I'm a vulture and I pummel through the eyes,
Devour what's in front of me,

Can you feel it?
Do you follow me?

Cut the skin,
What lies underneath is evil,
Can't escape,
Picking at the scabs of my mind.

Cut the skin,
What lies underneath is evil,
Can't escape,
Picking at the scabs of my mind.
Falling to the depths below.

Can you feel it?
Do you follow me?


6. BLACK AND WHITE

I let my DNA take over me,
I'd like to take a peek inside those genes,
God, it looks so good,
But it hurts so bad.

I am no different than those that came before me,
And I can't help but doubt this.

You know if I went running,
I'd end up feeling like nothing,
Sometimes I'm a fucked up mess without you.
When you're right you're right, I'm not trying to lie,
There's times when the grass looks greener on the other side,
Sometimes I'm a fucked up mess without you.

I'm the one that always falls.
I'm the one that always falls.

Too many temptations for someone that just feels
Nothing more than human,
God, it looks so good,
But it hurts so bad.

I am no different than those that came before me,
And I can't help but doubt this.

You know if I went running,
I'd end up feeling like nothing,
Sometimes I'm a fucked up mess without you.
When you're right you're right, I'm not trying to lie,
There's times when the grass looks greener on the other side,
Sometimes I'm a fucked up mess without you.

I'll give you all want
Never wanted it
Everything I've got
Taking all I want
Black and white would feel so nice when everything is grey.

If I went running, I'd be left with nothing,
I'm a fucked up mess without you.


7. BACK TO HANNALEI

Family, a word that meant so much to me
This world is one that's taken everything (Too late)
The road split open to swallow me
Hoping you'd follow and I'd take the lead

Am I the child who lost his way?
I can't let go of all this hate

A broken home
Heaven is lost and we are nothing
Please bring me back to brighter days
I can't help but be myself
Sorry if I'm nothing but a memory.
God if you're real, take me back to Hannalei

Out past the break inside the undertow
I marvel in the light down below
I've worn this mask long enough
And we're past the point of hellos
It's time I sing to those who relate
Let go of hate

A broken home
Heaven is lost but angels will sing
Your path with lead to brighter days
I can't help but be myself
Sorry that I'm nothing but a memory.
If you're up there
Know I'm in a better place

A broken home
Heaven is lost and we are nothing
Please bring me back to brighter days
I can't help but be myself
Sorry if I'm nothing but a memory.
God if you're real, take me back to Hannalei


8. NEVER IN REVERIE

The night has bitten to the core of me,
It sinks it teeth in as this ship fades in the cold,
Trembling as the walls will laugh and bleed,
I'm never in reverie, but in black and gold.

Everybody tries to blame it on the give and take in
The duality of life
There's a dagger and it lingers in the mind's eye open
To devils and the like

They take me a long way down.

Dance upon the water, watch as the demons set afire,
Hold the head below and choke as the heathens drown a while.

Darkness is swelling up all inside me,
I'm reaching for the air.

The night is tearing down the walls in me,
I long for touches of nothing, everything goes black as I bleed,
There's a dagger and it lingers in the mind's eye open
To devils and the like

They take me a long way down.

Dance upon the water, watch the demons set afire,
Hold the head below and choke as the heathens drown a while.


9. 2 11

There's something eating at the man,
He's a slave to the sound,
The puppeteers fly high above the ground,
No heart, the beast took its toll,
The corporation pumping black in his soul,
Their eyes gouged by the lack of information,
But sooner or later you'll see.

Their eyes gouged by the lack of information,
But sooner or later you'll see.

Fuck you, what did we do?
We're the machine in our own mess,
Oh no, where did we go?
Running the fortress,
I say we set this top ablaze
And star it over.

I'd like to tear this temple down,
And I watch the crumbling stone
Smash skulls, I'll turn this bloody mess
Into my home
No heart, the beast took its toll,
The corporation pumping black in his soul,
Their eyes gouged by the lack of information.
Come on!

Fuck you, what did we do?
We're the machine in our own mess,
Oh no, where did we go?
Running the fortress,
I say we set this top ablaze
And star it over.

There's something living in the man,
And he fights for the sound,
Your corporate bullshit lies beneath
The cemetery ground.

Fuck you, what did we do?
We're the machine in our own mess,
Oh no, where did we go?
Running the fortress,
I say we set this top ablaze
And star it over.
(x2)


10. ELECTRIFIED

Dilated, sophisticated mentally,
Part spectrum, part alive,
Don't give in to the wonderment
When you let go of all the lies.

The world is not a perfect place today,
But I can feel the beauty in my veins,
Don't try to pull the gold from where I lay,
Electrified
Even though this vice is tight on me,
I'm watching you drown as I can breathe,
And we know this won't be the last time.

When you're infinite, there's limitless security,
Reconnecting the plugs in my mind,
DMT the shit out of me,
I'm on a mission to leave my body.
I dream in sacred geometry.

The world is not a perfect place today,
But I can feel the beauty in my veins,
Don't try to pull the gold from where I lay,
Electrified
Even though this vice is tight on me,
I'm watching you drown as I can breathe,
And we know this won't be the last time.

Dilated,
I'm born again,
Illuminated,
I am the end,
This is just the beginning,
I'm feeling high.


11. I DON'T WANNA LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD

I wake up, turn on my TV,
Never thought my shampoo could kill me,
I walk outside, look up to the sky,
So many chem-trails are passing by.

I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world,
Government mind control, MK Ultra,
Blah, blah, blah, blah, Miley Cyrus.

I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world,
Blah, blah, blah, blah, Miley Cyrus.

Friday cruising on the freeway,
Glen beck says Jesus can save me,
Well shit, that'd be pretty nice cause this feels like hell,
Hey, Matt... I hear Guantanamo has pretty comfy cells

I wish I could get taken by an alien race,
But I don't think that I could get through TSA,
I just wanna watch porno
Without the NSA flagging me.

I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world,
Fluoride water, foreign drone strikes,
Blah, blah, blah, blah, fuck Monsanto.

I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world,
Blah, blah, blah, blah, Miley Cyrus.

I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world,
Mainstream media, praise and worship
Blah, blah, blah, blah, Fox news channel

I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world

I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world,
Government mind control, MK Ultra,
Blah, blah, blah, blah, Miley Cyrus.

I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world,
I don't wanna live in the real world,
(Blah, blah, blah, blah, Miley Cyrus.)


12. NOTE TO SELF (REMAKE)

Two roads... split off from here,
And my life goes running in opposite directions.
Exaggerating the barrier between who I am, and who I want to be.

I wanted to be that breath of fresh air,
When everything smelled so insincere.
But this taste still lingers in my mouth,
Deceit has ways of sticking around.
And I'm ready to disappear,
Vacation seems far, seems far from here.

Note to self: I miss you terribly.
This is what we call a tragedy.
Come back to me, come back to me, to me.
Note to self: I miss you terribly.
This is what we call a tragedy.
Come back to me, back to me, to me.

I can feel my mind, wandering again.
Into where I don't know, and will I ever get home?
Time starts moving, faster than I can.
And I'm sick of this scene,
I need a break from routine.

I can feel my mind, wandering again.
Into where I don't know, and will I ever get home?
Time starts moving, faster than I can.
And I'm sick of this scene,
I need a break from routine.

Two roads... split off from here,
And my life goes running in opposite directions.
Exaggerating the barrier between who I am, and who I want to be.

Which part of me is lost? I feel so close, and yet I am so far.
Which part of me is lost? I feel so close, and yet I am so...far!...


13. RIDE THE WINGS OF PESTILENCE (REMAKE) (BONUS TRACK)

Hiding behind the shadows
I'll be waiting in the dark
To drive this blade straight through your heart
I'll drag your body to the car
As blood races down my arm
I think everyone will wonder where you are (tonight)

I'll hide you in my walls
Your body will never be found
I'll wear your skin as a suit
Pretend to be you, your friends will like you more than they used to

Dear diary my teen angst bullshit has a body count (count)
I believe it's 6 going on 7 now (7 now)

I've been dreaming about you
In a pool of your own blood
With your eyes gouged out
By the work of my thumbs
The scent of your insides
From under the floorboards
The perfect perfume
For settling a score.

I'll hide you in my walls
Your body will never be found
I'll wear your skin as a suit
Pretend to be you, your friends will like you more than they used to
Pretend to be you, your friends will like you more than they used to

Ride the wings of....
Ride the wings of....
Ride the wings of....
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!
Ride the wings of pestilence!


14. THE LATEST PLAGUE (REMAKE)

What would you say, if this blemished face,
This blemished face with a crooked nose
Had a chance to say whatever he wanted
From his blemished world of the unknown?

Would you give a fuck if all that you heard
Were nouns and verbs like shallow heartache?
The sound of victory blowing up your world, world

Fake faces everywhere I see,
Fake people looking back at me
Sit down, don't tell me,
Don't tell me where I don't belong

Fake faces everywhere I see,
Fake people looking back at me
Sit down, don't tell me,
Don't tell me where I don't belong

Oh, I heard a sick sad voice (Oh),
It was honesty, I turned to her and said,
We need to be medicated;
And you're the prescription,
For a forced out vision
If you're with me, send the critics to hell
With the sound of our voices

Fake faces everywhere I see,
Fake people looking back at me
Sit down, don't tell me,
Don't tell me where I don't belong

Fake faces everywhere I see,
Fake people looking back at me
Sit down, don't tell me
Where I don't belong

All you better-thans that fed us shit,
Will be knocked on the floor,
So don't you place your bets just yet
All you treasure sleepers feed on shit,
You'll be knocked on the floor,
So don't you place...

Fake faces everywhere I see,
Fake people looking back at me
Sit down, don't tell me,
Don't tell me where I don't belong

Fake faces everywhere I see,
Fake people looking back at me
Sit down, don't tell me
Where I don't belong
