1. CULTURE SHOCK

Hiding their secrets
They didn't know
That they would one day all be exposed
Living in shadows
Untold
I hope that you're miserable
Your time has come
Your time has come

We will not stand by this
Welcome to culture shock
(The truth is coming out)
It started and it won't stop
(Are you getting it now?)
Your actions, they make me sick
(How do you sleep at night?)
High on your throne you'll sit
I'll watch you fall
And meet your end

Won't forget the things you did
Forced yourself against their skin
Left the visions in their heads
Your time will come, you'll meet your end
You'll meet your end

Disguised disease
(Excused to do just what you please)
A selfish way
(To hide behind the pain you made)
Enabling
(When some just choose to look away)
This is the culture that we create

Won't forget the things you did
Forced yourself against their skin
Left the visions in their heads
Your time will come, you'll meet your end
Won't forget the things you did
Forced yourself against their skin
Left the visions in their heads
Your time will come, you'll meet your end

Hiding their secrets but now we know
In disbelief that they've all been exposed
They lost their shadows, their truth's been told
I hope that you're miserable

Won't forget the things you did
Forced yourself against their skin
Left the visions in their heads
Your time will come, you'll meet your end
Won't forget the things you did
Forced yourself against their skin
Left the visions in their heads
Your time will come, you'll meet your end


2. LOSING TOUCH

In constant fear of losing touch
Try to drown these thoughts of giving up
It calls my name
But still I hear
"You're not good enough"
("You're not good enough")

Undeterred by stagnant oceans
Every stride makes bigger waves
I'll keep my head above the waters
Even when the sirens sing
"You're not good enough
You'll never be enough"

I've given all I've got (I've given all I've got)
But still it's not enough (But still it's not enough)
In constant fear of losing touch
Try to drown these thoughts of giving up
It calls my name but still I hear
"You're not good enough"

Failure, failure, failure
Push my limits to test
Wanderer, wanderer, wanderer
What trials will I face next?

Undeterred by stagnant oceans
Every stride makes bigger waves
I'll keep my head above the waters
Even when the sirens sing
"You're not good enough"
I'm not good enough
"You'll never be enough"
I'll never be enough

I won't surrender to the emptiness
Steadfast as the water fills my lungs
I won't surrender to the emptiness
Each tide makes bigger waves
But still I find my way
(I will find my way)
Overtaken by violent oceans
Each tide makes bigger waves
Can't keep my ears above the water
Can't hear the sirens sing
Can't hear the sirens sing
Can you hear the silence?

When the flow of the waves crash over me, I begin to sink
Drowning in fear, gasping for air
But, I'll find my way
I will find my way
I will find my way


3. DEATHWISH

Take the pain away
Clouded in anguish and disarray
I can't stand to live
Another day crawling in my skin
Take the pain away
Pull me out of this brokenness
I can't stand to live
I can't make it out of this
Just when I think I have a grip on it
I feel myself begin to slip

Relapse
How did I let this happen?
I've fallen victim to myself again
Deathwish
This never seems to end
The poison swallows all the light within
What the fuck?
Why can't I get this?
I swear I want this
What's wrong with me?
Relapse
I'll never make it
Take more and more
It never sets me free
Take more and more, it won't set me free
Deathwish

The flames are burning out
There is nothing left to give
I never thought it would be like this
I fell too far into the abyss
Will this suffering ever end?
Will this last forever?
I didn't know what this would do to you
Please forgive me 'cause I never knew
That my absence would leave a void
Will this last forever?

Relapse
I've fallen victim to myself again
Deathwish
The poison swallows all the light within
What the fuck?
Why can't I get this?
I swear I want this
What's wrong with me?
Relapse
I'll never make it
Take more and more
It never sets me free
Take more and more, it won't set me free
Deathwish
Deathwish


4. FORCE FED

We've been fed a lie
But here's the truth
That nothing comes for free
There is no reward
No victory
Listen to me
A life of regret
Outweighs the deepest debt
When you throw in the towel
You'll never reach the end

When all is lost
Just carry on
This is the way that the world revolves
Don't let defeat
Decide your fate
A constant struggle put on repeat (Repeat)
When all is lost
Just carry on
This is the way that the world revolves
Don't let defeat
Decide your fate
A constant struggle put on repeat

A message to the weak
Who never gave a thought
To what their lack of actions truly cost
No sense of bearing consequence
It's draining all your confidence
You are your own worst enemy
A bitter truth that you have to see
You are your own worst enemy

We've been fed a lie
But here's the truth
That nothing comes for free
There is no reward
No victory
Listen to me
A life of regret
Outweighs the deepest debts
When you throw in the towel
You'll never reach the end

And if you face defeat a thousand times
You still learn from the pain and sacrifice
A never ending dream
It always calls for more
Do you have what it takes to endure?
'Cause nothing is handed to you
So get off your ass
You better fucking move
You are your own worst enemy
A bitter truth that you have to see
You are your own worst enemy

And you refuse to see
That nothing comes for free
Your life is meaningless
Just afraid to face defeat
You’re your own worst enemy
Worst enemy

You can't accept it, you're your own worst enemy
You can't live in complacency
Can't live in complacency


5. SURVIVE

Suffocating in this desert wasteland
I've been wandering aimlessly
In hopes to find an escape
From this desolation

I've been cast aside
And left to die
Digging trenches for shelter to hide
Exhausting my strength to fight
It's getting harder to breathe
And as I fall to my knees
I see my fate in front of me
But through the eye of the storm
Without a figure or form
A sense of strength takes over me

Survive, I will make it out alive
Survive, I will force myself to fight

My memories are fading, misguided and discombobulated
My sense of self is fleeting, deciphering has lost its meaning
In my head but I'm not alone
In my head but I'm not alone
Have I been here before?
This place I lost my soul
I don't remember this all just seems familiar
I lost direction from the trenches I once called my home
Will they be searching for me in a desert of lost souls?

As long as my heart's pounding in my chest
I’ll never give it up
I'll always find the strength to

Survive, I will make it out alive
Survive, I will force myself to fight
Survive
I will make it out alive
Survive
Cast aside, against the odds I refuse to die

Against the odds I refuse to die
Against the odds I refuse to die


6. LEFT TO DUST

(Face your demons before your time is up
You just wallow in sadness
Embracing your weakness
Until you finally self-destruct)
Face your demons before your time is up
You just wallow in sadness
Embracing your weakness
Until you finally self-destruct

In the end
Is this how you want to be remembered?
Death brought by the hands of neglect
You chose to suffer

Burn, disintegrated to ashes
Left to dust as your body collapses (Collapses)

So I'll watch you waste away
Spend your last days as you suffer and decay
And I'll watch you waste away
Spend your last days as you suffer and decay

Because you built yourself an empire
And you were forced to watch it fall
As it was swallowed up in the fire
And burned down every wall
Ignoring every warning
You lost your legacy

In the end
Is this how you want to be remembered?
Death brought by the hands of neglect
You chose to suffer

Burn, disintegrated to ashes
Left to dust, as your body collapses

So I'll watch you waste away
Spend your last days as you suffer and decay
And I'll watch you waste away
Spend your last days as you suffer and decay

You lived your life fearing the unknown so you neglected life itself
So stuck in apathy, you turned your back on those you loved
Don't be surprised when your time has come and you're left to die alone
You breathed life into the things you feared
Now they've come to light but you disappeared

Rot and rust, disintegrated to ashes (To ashes)
Left to dust as your body collapses
Rot and rust, disintegrated to ashes (To ashes)
Left to dust as your body collapses


7. SILENT VOICES

Every day all around us
We see the consequences of silence
Manifest themselves into the form of discrimination, violence, genocide, and war
Silence is the residue of fear
Is this buried within
Or carved into stone?
Can we overcome?

We speak in silent voices
Enslaved to tragedy
We're longing for a purpose
To break these chains
And set us free

What is a life without purpose?
Since we were young we've all heard this
So we’ve been searching for the meaning
But we can barely scratch the surface
What does it mean to be alive?
Consumed by darkness as if it brings us light
Burdened by the weight it carries
Do we need it to survive?

We speak in silent voices
Enslaved to tragedy
We’re longing for a purpose
To break these chains
And set us free

When every waking moment is spent
Digging endlessly
Our hollow bones begin to show
As we keep losing sight
Of what the message was all along
Concealed behind these walls
Confused and captured souls
Disguised, exposed

Will we be crushed under the weight?
We are all consumed by the darkness as if it brings us light
Burdened by the weight
Do we need it to survive?
Do we need it to survive?
Do we need it?

We speak in silent voices
Enslaved to tragedy
We’re longing for a purpose
To break these chains
And set us free


8. VACANCY

Where do you go after the sun sets?
We're left alone
Left alone, on our own
What happened to this place that we call home?
We're all alone

I can never forget
The broken promises
The empty words you said
Some wounds never heal
Some wounds will never heal
But they can be concealed

Pain
The parting gift that you left with me
It left me stained
With a mark that you can't erase
Questioning

Where do you go after the sun sets?
We're left alone
Left alone, on our own
What happened to this place that we call home?

I can never forget
The broken promises
The empty words you said
Some wounds never heal
Some wounds will never heal

Grief
It’s buried deep in my memory
There's no relief
This is not how it's meant to be
Vacancy

Where do you go after the sun sets?
We're left alone
Left alone, on our own
What happened to this place that we call home?

Some wounds will never heal
But they can be concealed

I remember you holding us close
At the end of day when your love still showed
I remember you walking away
Leaving us on our own, we were all alone

Where do you go after the sun sets?
We're left alone
Left alone, on our own
What happened to this place that we call home?

I remember you holding us close
At the end of day when your love still showed
I remember you walking away
Leaving us on our own, we were all alone
We were all alone, we were all alone
We were all alone


9. PATH TO DESTRUCTION

Where is the honor and justice? I fail to see
Distorted perception of liberty
From violence we came and to violence return
An unending pattern, will we ever learn?
A system designed to fail
Weighing justice on broken scales
Wait for the hammer to strike the nail
Our system was designed to fail

And though we're burning the candle at both ends
These walls are still closing in
The same cycles repeating again and again
These walls are still closing in
In denial, we suffer as we just pretend
That these walls aren't closing in
The same cycles repeat again
These walls are still closing in

Bought with the promises of wealth and gold
And now we're drowning in a debt that's owed
So many years of greed and corruption
We're on the path to destruction

We're on the path to destruction
Our system was designed to fail

And though we're burning the candle at both ends
These walls are still closing in
The same cycles repeating again and again
These walls are still closing in
In denial, we suffer as we just pretend
That these walls aren't closing in
The same cycles repeat again
These walls are still closing in

Where is the honor and justice? I fail to see
Distorted perception of liberty
From violence we came and to violence return
An unending pattern, will we ever learn?
No, we will never learn
We will never learn, the cycle repeats
To violence, we return
One day this all will burn
Heads in the sand, bodies in the street
Unloyal, self-serving
Blind to the ones they refuse to see
They refuse to see

And though we're burning the candle at both ends
These walls are still closing in
The same cycles repeating again and again
These walls are still closing in
In denial, we suffer as we just pretend
That these walls aren't closing in
The same cycles repeat again
These walls are still closing in
