Lyrics

1. THE MIRROR's TRUTH

This past to go
While I collapse
It's not a false alarm
The ashes settle in

I guess,
We are the insane as we ignore the mirror's truth

Should I join the feast
Should I acknowledge the leash
The future in captivity
I'm not who I'm supposed to be.

We are not even trying
I let this light explode.

The bleeding
We deceive them
Fuel the lies
The time
Idle reason
We should live by laws
Call the swarm
Fade in another false hope

We are not even trying
Let this light explode.

We are not even trying
Find the exit sign and disappear.

We are not even trying
Let this light explode.

We are not even trying
Find the exit sign and disappear!


2. ERASER (Non-Album Track)

Consume, just like a worm,
Catch a glimpse of the sun through cracks,
Everything, I swallow whole,
And hide before the flood.

The way I see things,
I wish they could be true,
But take me all the way.
The trail of the torment,
Is not a path anymore,
But take me for a ride.

Delete the past, the fear,
Delete the past, every step is pure,
Delete the past from here, forward,
Delete the past, every step is pure.

Afraid of lost control,
Still there's a part of me that wants to feel insecure,
Afraid of lost control,
It keeps me on the edge.

Delete the past, the fear,
Delete the past, every step is pure,
Delete the past from here, forward,
Delete the past, every step is pure.

The way I see things,
I wish they could be true,
But take me all the way.

Delete the past, the fear, forward,
Delete the past, every step is pure,
Delete the past from here, forward,
Delete the past, every step is pure.


3. TILT (Non-Album Track)

We all find ourselves,
In honour of the good cause.
How empty we've become,
With our sight to be the true force.

Does every instinct say you're right?
I think sometimes there is doubt.

You're waiting for a re-run,
But yesterday won't come.
Want to relive the moment,
But yesterday is done.

Lies and desperation lead us through as we're trying to be heroic,
I swept the world (?) to watch you manage.
Take a step back,
I'll tie you to it.

You're waiting for a re-run,
But yesterday won't come.
Want to relive the moment,
But yesterday is done.

Hopes and prayers in pursuit of salvation,
Take a short cut, it only bends our cause.
But as far as I remember,
There is nothing that will get back the days you lost.

Does every instinct say you're right?
I think sometimes there is doubt.

You're waiting for a re-run,
But yesterday won't come.
Want to relive the moment,
But yesterday is done.


4. ABNEGATION (Non-Album Track)

We believe but we are deceased
Or soon to be.
Why act surprised?
You've seen the seas,
It's just enough to feed the trees.

We believe but we are not free,
This wasteland is our prison.
Why act surprised?
I see the bones through your skin,
This radiation from within.

I grant you this torn land,
I'd rather not live here anymore.
Don't say I didn't try,
But I'd rather not live here anymore.

We believe but we don't see
The coming of the storm.
Why act surprised?
There are warnings from time to time,
Signs of our own decline.

We are the scavengers,
We plunder and rape,
We're the guests here, the new breed,
But act like it's ours to take.

I grant you this torn land,
I'd rather not live here anymore.
Don't say I didn't try,
But I'd rather not live here anymore.

We believe but we don't see.

I grant you this torn land,
I'd rather not live here anymore.
Don't say I didn't try,
But I'd rather not live here anymore.

I grant you this torn land,
I'd rather not,
Don't say I didn't try,
But I'd rather not live here anymore.
