1. ABANDON US

By my own volition, isolated and set free
The symptom of your violence and the dissident in me
Untrusting of the promise of a figurehead to lead
When they've broken all their promises and left us here to bleed
To bleed

Abandon us
You turned your backs on all of us
Abandoned us
All we had
Reduced to dust

Use your intuition
Awaken from your sleep
How many years controlled by fear?
The fallacies run deep

Contention, contention
Diverted, diverted
Democracy is deserted

Abandon us
You turned your backs on all of us
Abandoned us
All we had
Reduced to dust

Can't you see
The urgency?
Spiraling uncertainty
There must be change
So we can save
Save ourselves from divergency

Yet, here we are
Left to bleed
You abandoned us

Abandon us
You turned your backs on all of us
Abandoned us
All we had
Reduced to dust


2. DISCORDANT NATION

Living through discoordination in our society
A boiling point of our frustration and mass anxiety
Anyone can see undeniably diversion is the new disorder
Forced complacency
Assimilated to the syndicate

Kill all your sympathy in this discordant nation
Yield to and bend the knee to this discordant nation

Creating a nation that's controlled by fear and alienation

Kill all your sympathy in this discordant nation
Yield to and bend the knee to this discordant nation

It breaks us down

Sterilizing the compassion in your heart
Will you let it all?
Will you let it all tear us apart?

Kill all your sympathy in this discordant nation
Yield to and bend the knee to this discordant nation


3. AFTERMATH

Will we die alone?
Now we've been left for dead
At the behest of the words unsaid
The crux of survival from the heart to hands
Eradication of our promised land

We're reeling from the aftermath
Still bleeding from the damage of the past
We're reeling from the aftermath
That feeling that it's just out of our grasp

This is the consequence
A people lost and dispossessed
We were misled
Left for dead
But you can't give in to despair

We're reeling from the aftermath
Still bleeding from the damage of the past
We're reeling from the aftermath
That feeling that it's just out of our grasp

I'd give my life
I'd give my life to change this
But you can't see through the lies
I'd give my life
I'd give my life to save you
But I can't turn back the time
Turn back the time

We're reeling from the aftermath
Still bleeding from the damage of the past
We're reeling from the aftermath
Aftermath
That feeling that it's just out of our grasp

I'd give my life to change this
But you don't see through the lies
I can't turn back the time
But I still try


4. FOREVER ALIGNED

Wander through this desolation, the emptiness inside
The venom of this isolation begins to claim its prize
A part of me only you could see
To save this wretched wounded man from all consuming grief

Breathing a new vitality
Give me a place to rest
Connecting the deepest depths of me
Now my tongue must confess

It's you I find
Forever in my mind
We are aligned inside
Forever in my mind
We are aligned

When my breath begins to tremble, swallowed by this dread
I feed me to the wolves that linger in the shadows of my head
Find a pain in me, it will bleed eventually
Face to face with what must change
Killing this deceit

Pull me
Pull me from the depths
Save me
Save me from defeat
Deliver me a revelation to find a new
A new belief

It's you I find
Forever in my mind
We are aligned inside
Forever in my mind

All you can see eternally
Connection of spirit and what's in between this life
I find forever in my mind

Calculating divinity to understand the spirit unseen
Now we are aligned
We are aligned

And it's you I find forever in my mind
We are aligned inside
Forever
We are aligned
We are aligned
We are aligned
We are aligned


5. I BELIEVE

Covering the truth inside us
Giving into spite
Self inflicted paranoia hindering our sight

Lose track of what used to drive you to make you feel alive
That part of yourself that gave you the willingness to fight

Some people will say it's part of life
I chose to refuse to let it slide
Finding faith in these dark times
Keeping hope alive

I believe there is hope for better days
I believe we will conquer what we face

Discovering the faith inside us,
Save us from despair
No matter what this world will tell you,
Do not live in fear

Learn to let the light guide you
Let go of the pain
You can't kill the passion in me
My devotion remains

I believe there is hope for better days
I believe we will conquer what we face

Come what may the light will guide my way
Come what may I won't be led astray

Do you believe that something can renew your strength
When you find it you stop at nothing,
It's in every word you say
So keep the faith

The light will guide my way
I won't be led astray,
And nothing will stand in my way

I believe I believe that there is hope
I believe there is hope for better days


6. WHERE IT DIES

This is where it dies
Wasted too much time deciphering the lies
Defending who I thought you were inside
Vilified anyone who tried to expose the bitterness that you hide

Now you're caught in your own stalemate
No one left to manipulate
It left me drained
As I watched you change

I see who you've become
It's too late for your repentance
Now our trust is undone
So you will suffer
Suffer my vengeance

You, drown in your misery
You, now you are dead to me

I see who you've become (Who you've become)
It's too late for your repentance
Now our trust is undone
So you will suffer
Suffer my vengeance

You, drown in your misery
You, now you are dead to me
This is where it dies
Suffer my vengeance


7. COLLUSION

Held down against the pavement disavowed
Subordination of the need to expound
Coordinated covert invasion
The system
Appropriation of a subversive sound
The revolution can't be contained by a fascist system enslaved
To the belief that resistance will fade

Contrive a need of hostility to be deceived by division
Wars and greed
Death and disease
It's a world in collusion

Hands bound
Determination can be found
In the minds of those who refuse to bow down
Stop waiting for a symbolic savior
You can turn belief to truth by living unbound

Contrive a need of hostility to be deceived by division
Wars and greed
Death and disease
It's a world in collusion

What can't be seen is our captivity
Covert and crafted to create our dependency

Contrive a need of hostility to be deceived by division
Wars and greed
Death and disease
It's a world in collusion

It's a world in collusion


8. THE FALL OF US

Cauterizing the wounds you caused in vain
I realize how much we've lost

Your words forsake and betray you
It's your facade that I see through
You let the bitterness take you
It's the death of our trust

My tears, my heart and blood
Are not enough
In the fall of us
Your fears at war with trust
And the loss of love
It's the fall of us
The fall of us

Recognizing the life you claim to live
Normalizing your arrogance
I've got no more to give
No more to give

My tears, my heart and blood
Are not enough
In the fall of us
Your fears at war with trust
And the loss of love
It's the fall of us
It's never enough, the fall of us

Hate, fear
Hate, fear
Hate, hate, fear, fear
Hate, fear
Hate, fear

I'm lost inside your vacant eyes
A cold mirror of the darkness you hide
I tried to save you from the pull of the tide
The fear has changed you into what you despise
Hatred is your weakness
Hatred consumes you

My tears, my heart and blood
Are not enough
In the fall of us
Your fears at war with trust
And the loss of love
It's the fall of us

Your fears at war with trust
It's the fall of us


9. BROKEN GLASS

You speak in shards of broken glass

You punish me to try to take away my dignity
Strip away my confidence to prey upon the kindness that's in me

So now I will withstand
Drive a nail into my hand
Crucified to ruthless circumstance
Too blind to understand
That you alone will suffer the consequence

You speak in shards of broken glass
My wounds may bleed, but the pain won't last

Now I watch as you
Collapse
My suffering will mend
Your bitterness won't end

So now I withstand
Drive a nail into my hand
Bleeding out, but I still will not relent
Too blind to understand
In the end, you will repent

You speak in shards of broken glass
Broken glass
My wounds may bleed, but the pain won't last
The pain won't last

Now I watch as you
Collapse


10. REQUIEM

Cauterizing wounds that won't mend
Is this the beginning of the end?

Can we be saved before it's too late?
Our lives in declivity
Watching our world fall apart
Into dismay

Emerge from the pain again
I swear this is not the end
This is not our requiem

Avowed to avenge and repent
Rain down, I brought punishment
No more will you suffer discontent

For you
I will not relent

Your sacred heart I will defend
And we will see new life again
This is not our requiem

Emerge from the pain again
I swear this is not the end
This is not our requiem

We emerge from the pain again
This is not our requiem
I swear this is not the end
This is not our requiem
