1. INTRO

(introduction)


2. DREAM EATER

I'm gonna stand my ground until the end of days
I know you've been watching me but I'm no easy prey
I won't come easily because you cannot say
You're greatest mistake was underestimating me
So go back to where you belong

[Chorus]
Here we are at the edge of the world
Where time collides with everything the past won't repeat
You won't get the best of me

I know that we're both wearing thin but for one of us this is the end
I've been running on empty slowly losing my grasp
But I keep pushing through to overcome this prison
You'll never take me alive

Time, time will be the test of who will get the best of who
I don't consider myself the weakest link but the cards are dealt &
The game is felt in the heat of the moment yeah
The ice will melt and we both will drown
Unless I suck in my gut tighten my belt pick up my feet &
Walk out of this hell


3. PROMISES

Let this be clear you only said the things I wanted to hear
There's only treachery in lies when the truth is something that
Will take you by surprise it comes full circle this time more hurtful
You can fill this cavity with the bullshit you've been telling me recently

[Chorus]
Promise me that everything will be alright and my will won’t bend
Holding onto all of these promises

Does this mean nothing to you? You've spun your webs
Capturing the innocent is a joke you pick upon the weak I
Hope you fucking choke. Your misery is company
The only thing you've got at this point is yourself
We're not believing, believing, done.


4. KING OF WOE

I fought the battle but all it did was lead me here
Caught up in the moment that I realized I'd been
Fighting for the wrong team
The kind that's lead by kings who only wish to see their schemes
Come to fruition and nothing more
Sacrifice them all and leave them dying on the floor
Perched high on their thrones we're left as ash and bone
Another victory for the king of woe
Lo and behold, now call to arms spread his plague
Burn the land and dig their graves

[Chorus]
When you're high I am low caught up in the undertow
If there's a chance to see the sun I'd give it all
Rising up, rise again I know this can't be the end
If there's a chance to see the sun I'd give it all

We tear the life from them and paint the sky a fearsome shade of
Crimson red once my blade has been drawn there is no longer
Hope for those who dare oppose the king of woe
By now they know just how far he will go to claim what's rightfully
His until the bitter end

This is the price we paid, chivalry is dead


5. FOREVER

Never meant to fade into the black
Burnt out by the answers that I lack
Reform be reborn and start again
From morning until night I wanna rewind the time and replay
What it's like to be, another point of view to see clearly
Through all the things that clouded every judgement of me
Never meant to fade into the black
Burnt out by the answers that I lack

[Chorus]
Who are they to say that this is forever?
Was it carved in stone the way that I'm livin'?
Tried by fire fueled with desire
I'll be the one to say this isn't forever

I'm barely hanging on and I don't wanna be the one to say I
Let it go, when all I had to do was reach for it
Sweat for it, bleed for it, I'll make my name
Look inside the windows that are my eyes
See the soul of a man who was once a boy
No more fucking around I'm so sick of these games
Never thought that my life would ever end up this way
Learning from the past I'm bouncing back
Their words couldn't tell me how to act

Sometimes you gotta destroy to rebuild
Get up.

[Chorus]
Who are they to say this is forever?
Was it carved in stone the way that I'm livin'?
Try my fire I'm fueled with desire
I'll be the one to say this isn't forever


6. UPPER HAND

The upper hand
I've walked the line but now it's getting old
The aggravation it leaves me hanging onto self control
All the weight on my shoulders I feel the air getting colder
But I'm not gonna give up now
Is there enough in me to get back up when I'm broken?
Broken down no hope to be found
In this life we all have reasons, now let's play the game

[Chorus]
I never wanted it to be this way let's make a turn around
From yesterday let's get back to the days
When we had it figured out
Our lives played like cards in a loaded deck
We always had the upper hand

The upper hand
It's your turn now play the move that's gonna help you win
Thought you won it all? But I'm still standing tall
You can't take from me everything I've ever worked for
I won't let you win think you need to start again
Is there enough in me to get back up when I'm broken?
Broken down no hope to be found
In this life we all have reasons, now let's play the game

We raise the stakes we twist our fate
Always chasing a little fortune
We've gotta learn to let go


7. YOURS ALONE

Don't let the words they say bring you down their opinion of you
Doesn't matter anyway there's a spark in your eye that is
Inextinguishable a fire burning so bright
We're talking matters of light don't think for a second that you're
Not capable

[Chorus]
Do you see yourself the way that I see you?
Imperfect sanity that splits the soul in two
You know, you know I'm here for you
But this choice is yours alone

Fuck all the nonbelievers the underachievers
Who only waste their days as useless deceivers
Get them out of your head
Let us give them hell

Now pick the path you'll take
This is your choice to make
Open up your eyes for me, You've gotta learn to breathe
It shouldn't be this hard because you've done this before
See what's in store search through the depths of your heart


8. THE STARVING

I can't out live this lie, no longer can I deny
The way you hypnotize it makes my bones come alive to the
Beat of a different sound. I am a beast when there's nobody
Around I could tear you apart in the blink of an eye
Make you wish you'd seen through my vindictive disguise
I'll make you feel the way I do
I'm dying for something made out of nothing

[Chorus]
Can you satisfy the hunger building up inside of me can't you see
I'm starving, starving for you
Dangerous you just seem so marvelous give me everything I need
Cant you see I'm starving, starving for you

You make me wanna feed this wretched design
Something about the way you move has got my attention
I've never felt this way before
I'm dying for something made out of nothing

I cannot fight it for long the motive in me is gone
No retribution to claim, finally feeding the flame
Now I'll watch you burn


9. REVOLUTION

Forget the past the life that you wanted
Surrender what you have before it is haunted
The fear that has you crippled will not linger much longer
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger
I'm feeling lost can you help me find my way?
I've got no direction Answering questions that don't
Hold a meaning, can you free these binds?

[Chorus]
There's no time though you're struggling now drop your burdens
And grasp what is real
Wrap your head around these thoughts and maybe you will find
That life is a twisted turn

Turn back around you're getting closer to the brink
Hold it down and you can live just as you please
No regrets this is the life you choose to lead
Burning on, we are the revolution
You can try to escape


10. LIGHTS OUT

Give back everything that is mine how much more can I take until I surrender?
You think it's easy to forgive and forget but you don't know it's easier said than done
You hide your pain to entertain the demon living inside

[Chorus]
Desperately I can see you're at it again
Falling through the floor now you're coming back for more
Wasted is your chance to say goodbye
Lights out

I put my faith in you and now I see I was wrong unspoken words and sounds are all that ever echo this town
You walk among the ghosts of all of your friends waiting for a chance to dig the knife even deeper
You play your game your claim to fame is nothing more than a lie

Moving through the room passing by waving hi
To everyone that's on your way down I say goodbye it's Lights out
Now you've hit the floor and you can't take it anymore
Lights out


11. REPLACE ME

I walked away made a choice for the better
Shed my skin to let it in, deep within I'm holding onto what is left
Of a memory, it fades away like the sand in a glass that is
Broken now it runs through my hands
Collecting my thoughts I'm trying to repair all of the damage
You have done to me
Take this hollow shell my remains

[Chorus]
You could replace me it wouldn't phase me
I can move on now with or without you
You could replace me it wouldn't change me
I can move on now with or without you

Check the shelf wipe the dust I wasn't there
Your backup plan of no demand I'd never be
You're holding onto what is left of a memory
It fades away like the time that you thought that you had it all
You had something else, just a hollow shell nothing more

Oceans collide in the storm of the century you and I
Never meant to be more than a shipwreck among waves
I can't have you weighing me down
