1. DEFY

Lifecycles and planned obsolescence
A perfect trap disguised as assistance
It takes the pain away
It takes the pain away

Control the sentience of the masses
Relief replaced with silent disaster
But I won't fade away
No, I won't fade away

I defy, this hopelessness
I defy, your callousness
I defy, irreverent, I will rise
I see through your disguise, and all your lies
I defy

A numbing cure for the common existence
Replace security for subsistence
It takes the pain away
It takes the pain away

Victimize, enable, beguile
A body count without a reprisal
But I won't fade away
No, I won't fade away

I defy, this hopelessness
I defy, your callousness
I defy, irreverent, I will rise
I see through your disguise, and all your lies
I defy

Sometimes the pain of life's too much to mitigate
But I refuse to march into an early grave

But I refuse to march into an early grave!

I defy, this hopelessness
I defy, your callousness
I defy, irreverent, I will rise
I see through your disguise, and all your lies
I defy

Defy!
Defy!
Defy!
I Defy!


2. INSTINCTS

Beware the serpents in the leaves
And their deception
An outstretched hands closed to a fist
Becomes a weapon

I see the damage they have done
I see the battle's just begun
I know the answer lies inside
I feel it when I close my eyes

Through disaster and decay
Survive to fight another day
When there's no time for you to question
Every single step you take
Press on, and trust in your instincts
Trust in your instincts

Break down the barriers of fear
And superstition
Listen to your primal past
And intuition

You'll see the damage they have done
You'll see the war is never won
You'll know the answer lies inside
You'll feel it when you close your eyes

Through disaster and decay
Survive to fight another day
When there's no time for you to question
Every single step you take
Press on, and trust in your instincts

Kill or be killed (stand and fight)
Sink or swim (run and hide)
The answer lies within

Through disaster and decay
Survive to fight another day
When there's no time for you to question
Every single step you take
Press on, and trust in your instincts


3. BACK TO ME

No turning back now,
I'm moving ahead toward the way out.
Don't you hate how,
We get left behind in the fallout.

Take a breath and take heart
Instead of pulling apart
When you find yourself back at the start.

Every part of me
Catches on fire underneath,
When I ignite, you'll see.
Maybe I can light the way,
I can light the way back to me.
Back to me.

I won't stand down,
As I feel the ground begin to crack now.
So I cry out,
The same call to arms but with a new sound.

Take a breath and take heart,
When you are falling apart
And you don't even know where to start.

Every part of me
Catches on fire underneath,
When I ignite, you'll see.
Maybe I can light the way,
I can light the way back to me.

Let hope be everything that you need,
To march to a victory,
When you can't feel the difference between,
An inch and infinity.

Every part of me
Catches on fire underneath,
When I ignite, you'll see.
Maybe I can light the way,
I can light the way.

Every part of me
Catches on fire underneath,
When I ignite, you'll see.
Maybe I can light the way,
I can light the way back to me.
Back to me.


4. SUNFLOWER

Wait, you'll see it all around you
When you find the light that makes you bloom
Before your pride and petals start to fall around
I can't be the one to catch them when you're crashing down

Can you break away from it all?
Can you break away from it all
Before it drags you under?

Stay, you'll feel it all around you
When you find a way to make it through
Cross the line, don't find yourself in need of rescue
I can't be the one to catch you

Can you break away from it all?
Can you break away from it all
Before it drags you under?

Break and separate
Break and separate
Break and separate
Break and separate

Can you break away from it all?
Can you break away from it all? (Break and separate)
(Break and separate)
Can you break away from it all? (Break and separate)


5. UNBREAKABLE

There are weapons in the sound,
And they echo all around.
And you feel the bitter sting
As you fall to the ground.
Memories and plans forgone,
Pave the way for fear to spawn,
To find a vein to feast upon.
Hoping I become undone.

And I'm not afraid,
I'm not afraid,
I'm not afraid!

I'm unbreakable!
Can't defeat me, though I'm bleeding.
Unbreakable!
Though I'm bending, I'll never break.

Hey! Hey!
I'll never break!
Hey! Hey!

Throwing caution to the wind,
Learning how to fight again.
I carry on regardless
Of the shape I'm in.
Every torch and pitchfork thrown,
Only makes the fire grow.
When it engulfs you, you will know,
That I will not be overthrown.

And I'm not afraid,
I'm not afraid,
I'm not afraid!

I'm unbreakable!
Can't defeat me, though I'm bleeding.
Unbreakable!
Though I'm bending, I'll never break.

Hey! Hey!
I'll never break!
Hey! Hey!

Through the firestorm, I will remain,
And you will know where you stand.
Through the firestorm, I will remain,
And you will know where you...
Stand!
Go!
Through the firestorm, I will remain,
And you will know where you stand,
And you will know where you stand!

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid,
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid,
I'm not afraid,

I'm unbreakable!
Can't defeat me, though I'm bleeding.
Unbreakable!
Though I'm bending, I'll never break.
Unbreakable! (Unbreakable)
Unbreakable! (Unbreakable)

I will remain!


6. VERTIGO

Motion, breaking the space
The steps I retrace
The ground feels like an ocean
Writhing in pain, I try to explain
The words just come out
Broken like the limbs we used to crawl
With hopeful eyes, into the sun

My equilibrium becomes delirium

Drifting in the tide, in the undertow, undertow
Slowly going blind in the afterglow, afterglow
I am falling faster, vertigo, vertigo
Learning how to hold on, by letting go, letting go
Vertigo
Vertigo

My spinning satellite head
Disoriented
It gravitates and spirals
To find you instead, a means to an end
A force that conquers
Broken moons and hollow worlds
Suspended, motionless
Collapse and coalesce

My equilibrium sent to oblivion

Drifting in the tide, in the undertow, undertow
Slowly going blind in the afterglow, afterglow
I am falling faster, vertigo, vertigo
Learning how to hold on, by letting go, letting go
Vertigo

How can you say that everything is meaningless
When we are the product of such a random disaster?

Drifting in the tide, in the undertow, undertow
Slowly going blind in the afterglow, afterglow
I am falling faster, vertigo, vertigo
I'm learning how to hold on to you by letting go, letting go
Vertigo
Vertigo
Vertigo
Vertigo


7. MONEY (PINK FLOYD COVER)

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four-star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money, get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet

Money!
Money!
Money!
Money!

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise
It's no surprise that they're giving none away
Away away away away

Money!


8. HOW WILL YOU LIVE

It's time for a fight
And now they're drawing their lines
And you know it's not right
When you're stuck picking sides

It's the invisible enemy

If I can't see it, then how can I believe it
Tell me how (tell me how) will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?
If you hide what eats you alive when no one sees you
Tell me how (tell me how) will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?

It's time for a fight
Between the heart and the mind
And you know it's not right
When you're stuck picking sides

It's the invisible enemy

If I can't see it, then how can I believe it
Tell me how (tell me how) will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?
If you hide what eats you alive when no one sees you
Tell me how (tell me how) will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?

When fear and pain suffocate
Tell me how will you live?
Will you disclose or will you break?
Tell me, how will you live?

How will you live?
How will you live?
How will you live?

If I can't see it, then how can I believe it
Tell me how (tell me how) will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?
If you hide what eats you alive when no one sees you
Tell me how (tell me how) will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?
How will you live?
If you hide what eats you alive when no one sees you
Tell me how (tell me how) will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?
How will you live? How will you live?


9. ON THE INSIDE

Throw away these hollow bones
Like water from a stone
I try to find the answers in the fractures

Underneath, underneath the surface
Underneath, underneath the surface
I believe, I believe there's a purpose

I hope you know we all suffer
Slipping under, but only on the inside
Our hidden fear, overtaking
We are breaking, but only on the inside
Can't you see that this is killing me?
But only on the inside

Hope is all we used to know
When reaping when we sow
I try to find the harvest in the famine

Underneath, underneath the surface
I believe, I believe there's a purpose

I hope you know we all suffer
Slipping under, but only on the inside
Our hidden fear, overtaking
We are breaking, but only on the inside
Can't you see that this is killing me?
But only on the inside

Only on the inside
Only on the inside

I hope you know we all suffer
Slipping under, but only on the inside
Our hidden fear, overtaking
We are breaking, but only on the inside
Can't you see that this is killing me?
Can't you see that this is killing me?
But only on the inside


10. WARZONE

The silence brings a panic
It fills the empty space
To feed this paranoia
Trapped in a mental cage
The rough and jagged edges
That line this feeble state
Prevent my hands from gripping
Oh, how they shake

This is a warzone
This is a warzone

A hurricane of anger
The howling winds of rage
An ocean of confusion
The storm inside of me
Slowly losing control
Desperate for a glimpse of hope

This is a warzone

The seconds feel like hours
The minutes pass like days
Begin to count down from ten
And don't forget to

Breathe in tranquility
Breathe in serenity
Breathe in a sense of relief
Before it escapes
Before it escapes
Before it escapes

This is a warzone
This is a warzone
This is a warzone
This is a warzone

I am fighting, I am fighting back
I am fighting, I am fighting back
I am fighting, I am fighting back
I am fighting, I am fighting back
I am fighting back


11. FOREVER YDG'N

Yeah!

Yeah, you've heard that I was dead
And now you can't get me out of your head
Yeah, you thought that I was gone
But I've been waiting to say this for so long

You know you really make me sick
Reused that line because the shoe fits
While you dug your pit, I built a bridge
Walked across and now I'm over it

I hope it keeps you up at night

You hateful fake
There's no stopping me, you're getting in my way
One day
You will realize that you're to blame
And I bet you never stopped to think
What didn't kill just built and strengthened me
Strengthened me

Oh, bring the heat!
I'm forged in flame!

Every stick and stone you threw at me
My skin thickens while you just grow weak
A failed lesson in each one you cast
You turned your house into a pile of glass

I hope it keeps you up at night, yeah yeah
I hope it never leaves your mind

You hateful fake
There's no stopping me, you're getting in my way
One day
You will realize that you're to blame
You hateful fake
There's no stopping me or getting in my way
One day
You will realize that you're to blame
And I bet you never stopped to think
What didn't kill just built and strengthened me

I hope it keeps you up at night, yeah yeah
I hope it never leaves your mind
I hope it keeps you up at night, yeah yeah
I hope it never leaves your mind

Bring the heat!
Bring the heat!


12. IF WE WERE GHOSTS

If we were ghosts
You could see inside of me, right into my soul
To see what makes me up or focus on the holes
I'd be the world around the sun
Hopelessly spinning 'round you, yeah
Turning every leaf and stone
But that's not the way it goes

I have to wait till I get to the other side
Just to see you, just to see you
I have to wait till I get to the other side
Cause I never, never got to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

If we were ghosts
Floating high above the world
Little would they know
That to end is to begin
At least that's what I hope
And for a moment I could be
Something a bit more complete, yeah
But we never keep what makes us whole
And that's just the way it goes

I have to wait till I get to the other side
Just to see you, just to see you
I have to wait till I get to the other side
Cause I never, never got to say goodbye

I lament with every breath I take
The gentle sadness flows through everything
The gentle sadness flows through everything

I have to wait till I get to the other side
Just to see you, just to see you
I have to wait till I get to the other side
Cause I never, never got to say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
