1. DREAM COME TRUE

You build up all that hope, all that faith
to watch it all disappear
Dreams fulfilled are as good as dead
Worse than a dream that never came true
Dreams die when they come true
Dreams die when there?s no hope
Nothing to live for
Nothing to hope for
Nothing to dream of
Nothing to wish for
Nothing to believe in
Nothing to dream of
Nothing to hope for
Nothing to die for
Nreams die when they come true
Dreams die when there's no hope


2. THIS TIME TOMORROW

Carve your name into my chest
Burn myself down till there's nothing left
Concrete rushes up to meet my fading heart
Death is the climax of all emotion
Tear me down - let me fall
What we once held so dear disintegrates in our hands
This time tomorrow - where will I be?
This time tomorrow - where will you be?
This time


3. FALLING IN LOVE IS LIKE SETTING YOURSELF ON FIRE AND HOPING YOU WON'T GET BURNED

I'm not a part of your life anymore
Your life is not a part of me anymore
You're not a part of yourself anymore
Your puzzle has one too many pieces
My veins are open awaiting incision
My hands are open clutching at nothing
And it burns me through what's become of you
Misunderstood I've done all I could
Cut me open - deeper still
The more you say the more of me you kill
Words that cut me to the bone
A constant reminder of all that you?ve done
And it burns me through
Knowing that there is nothing I can do


4. THE WORLD IS JUST ANOTHER THING IN MY WAY

In the name of all that's sacred
All that's left will be you and I
Faced with distress and disappointment
We distanced ourselves from the world
We both ran as far as we could but shelter was not anywhere
We ran in opposite directions but destiny brought us here
In the hours that remain speak no more of tortured days
This world has failed us both - together we turn away
In the name of all that's sacred - all that's left is you And I


5. MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD

Count me out of your aspirations
As I tear down your ambitions
No devotion, no obligation
As contagions fill the air
You've exhausted every option
It's time to tear you down
I will not surrender my soul
Tighten the noose around our necks
Tighten the noose around my soul...


6. WHAT CULTURE?

Say your prayers and count your blessings
You all make me choke
All your pleasures all my poisons
Talk yourself out of breath
Outside of the spectacle you are nothing
A society of drones churning the rumor mill
You've proven nothing - you've changed nothing
You've done nothing - you ARE nothing
In small circles you are the center
Enjoy your fame it doesn't last forever
Close your eyes and spread your lies
What culture?


7. ...AND YOU WEAR TOO MUCH MAKE-UP

As empty words poured from her lips - as the vanity suffocates
May I never breathe your name
May I never suffer your presence
May you never need to feel the same
And I'd like to, I'd like to
Wish it away
Burn it to ash


8. FALSE PROPHET PREACHING

Preach common sense and call it religion
Tell me not to kill and now I must worship you?
You're invisible - I can't see you
You're inaudible - I can't hear you
Feed the hungry - clothe the naked
Starve the hungry - choke the thirsty
Let them all bleed dry in my grasp
No angels stalk - stalk, stalk, stalk
I am reborn - I know apocalypse
(And no one fucking tells me)
What is wrong and what is right


9. LAST BEAT OF MY HEART

In a wave of forgiveness
On angels wings
we dare to breathe
Reach out your hands
Don't turn your back, don't walk away
How in the world could i wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you until the last beat of my heart
At the close of day
These words in shadow play
Here and now - here and now
My heart cries out
The naked bone of an echo says "don't walk away"
Reach out your hands
Reach our your hands - i'm just a step away


10. SAMARITAN

Just a man...imperfect...vulnerable
Why can't my words be seen for what they are
An expression of my ongoing struggle
I am not your culture
I am not your shelter
I am not your addiction
I am not your solution
Running with my head down
The blood fills my mouth - the sting fills my eyes
Dying to avoid the sight of the endless struggle
To find an end to this passion play of which we're all a part
The depths we'll fall to...for the love of...
Don't want to carry it anymore - the weight on my shoulders
Your hands around my neck
Not seen as an attempt to dig deeper with myself
And now it's my cross to bear


11. CRUCIFIX ESCAPIST

Dead souls rising to the jailers of the dying
Hear our crying as we cast thy sinners down
An angel fell from hell with its wings aflame
Having served my time in your paradise of torture and despair
To play the harps of sin
Crucifix escapist


12. SLAVE

A slave to impulse
Set your desire on fire
Can't take your eyes off the flame
And all you dream of is fame
Bleed the eyes that victimize - a cannibal, an animal
Your feigned compassion slips with every word that passes your lips
Where then where will we be when there's nothing left to heed
You are not your compassion - so much thought with such little action
How does it feel to know that everything you can do
Has been done before so many times before
How does it feel to know that everything you can say
Has been said before so many times before


13. NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Bound by inability and left to suffer the absence
Words have failed me once again
Attempts at completion have again left me empty
Fate's design has forced me
To live without
And when I close my eyes I envision
One so undeserving of your presence
One who does not appreciate you as I
One who needs not struggle with your absence
