1. INITIATE

You can cry wolf but stop running
You can cry wolf but stop running
You can cry wolf but stop running
You can cry wolf but stop running


2. CRY WOLF

Where do you go when your home is not a home?
Where do you go when your home is not a home?

Going through these motions
Proving something for nothing (something for nothing)
I can't ignore your gimmicks
You will never be
You will never be a part of me!

Feet still planted
If you can't sustain the damage
I'll be the last man standing

Give it up if you can't find your way back to me
I'll be the problem on your pathway home
And I told you once
This mind is nothing more than what it's worth

This is not what you came for
This is not what you thought it would be
This is not what you came for
This is not what you thought it would be

Back track to the birth of the pain where it came from
You'll see that it wasn't me
Back track to the pain
It wasn't me

In alarm to the message addressed to the public
I never saw this one coming
As this winter gets colder it will all blow over on this perfect day

You can cry wolf but stop running
Money hungry bandits
With their pockets full of loose change
You're not the only one
Pushing till you lose control
But it's not so perfect
When you learned that you deserved it
Grim feelings eat your rotten heart away

Because time waits for no man
Look deep into your mind and see everything that you didn't want to be
Because time waits for no man

Where do you go when your home is not a home?
Where do you go when your home is not a home?
Where do you go?


3. SHALLOW POINT

Let’s join hands
And watch the prospects fall
It’s broken
We won’t fix it all
Build it up again, eventually
Potentially pay respects to the ones unloved
Yeah yeah, if you could only see it
Yeah yeah, if you would only feel it
Hate directed towards me
You can’t accept that we were never the same
What a young mind can take
What a young mind can be
What a young mind can achieve
When the blindfolds removed, what will you see?
Now I’ve become scared to speak my mind
How many times must I disguise my eyes from this?
I’m fed up!
I’m fed up!
I’m not what you call me out to be
And though I wonder
And even though I see
I still think back to before the change of everything
We’ve become something different
Though we don’t believe
Though we don’t believe
What a young mind can take
What a young mind can be
What a young mind can achieve
When the blindfolds removed, what will you see?
Though shall not steal
You stole my dignity
When it’s all said and done
Leave this as history
When this is all said and done
Leave this as history
When it’s all said and done
Leave this as history


4. WITHOUT A HEAD

I saw you die inside today
I saw you die inside today
Its gonna make things hard for you
But I see the will in you to change
The way you’ve been
Has me wishing the best for you
Only the best for you
Dead space replaced my memory back
The weight of your world has come over me
It’s never been the same
Are you the one to blame?
If I could only ask for a better way
A better way to save you

Chop block with your head on it
You can cut it off
Do what you want with it
Who need a head when you don’t use it?
Abused and polluter
This is not an illusion

I saw you die inside today
I saw you die inside today
It’s gonna make things hard for you
You take a shot at me
And in the end you’ll see
That your words will chain you down
Committed all alone
And in the time to come
You’ll grip the hell that you put me through

Chop block with your head on it
You can cut it off
Do what you want with it
Who needs a head when you don’t use it?
Abused and polluted
This is not an illusion

There’s one illusion that I can see
It’s that you need that thing
Bow down to the bottle
You’re gonna lose your family

I’ve seen you stand taller than this
I’ve seen you stand taller
Face first in the earth
Addiction suffocates
Or it separates
Whichever one comes first
The weight of your world has come over me
It’s never been the same
Are you the one to blame?
If I could only ask for a better way
A better way to save you


5. BED OF NAILS

Digging to the thick of what started this
Tell me, are you innocent or are you a part of it?
Secrets creeping through the streets
When the bleak won’t bleed
And the loyal stand powerless to take a knee
I see something brewing in the backgrounds
It’s not hard to tell when it’s done so well
I was on a roll but had no one to stop me
So hear me out this time
I won’t be spineless

When everyone has something to say,
It makes no difference when there is nobody listening
We watch and wait
We sit and watch
We sit and watch their heads turn
They’ll keep on spinning till their work is done
When the work is done
No need to even worry, to worry
It won’t be long until you see it’s the owl heads turning all along
Any eyes can see something brewing in the backgrounds
It’s not hard to tell
When it’s done so well
I was on a roll but had no one to stop me
So hear me out this time
I won’t be spineless

See to the core of the underground
I’m feeling forgotten
When they need to know the roots of this name
It’s more then just a group
And I’ve seen the proof
That would ruin each and every one of you
We’re all stepping on a bed of nails
Tread lightly, tread lightly
Stepping on a bed of nails, on a bed of nails
Tread lightly, tread lightly
It won’t be long until you see it’s the owl heads turning all along
Yeah
We’re all stepping on a bed of nails
Tread lightly


6. REPRESSED MEMORIES

(Instrumental)


7. C4

If we carry on this way we won’t survive
We have to draw the line
A victim of your own convictions
We can’t let them in to our minds

Hype the threats but never pull the trigger
A nation of patriots with dirty hands
Society under siege, a swarm of gunmen with ruthless intentions
Now I don’t have the good intentions
I wore my heart on my sleeve
Not anymore, not me
Its time like these we should have swallowed the key
Stuffed the bottle sent it out to sea
In a sea of treason

Tell me, who or what give you the right to decide what defines innocent lives?
Do you feel threatened by your own kind?
Under the watch of a manmade weapon built to break and honest life
Do you feel threatened by your own kind?
What’s the drive behind your motives?
All this blood on your hands
All these lies
How many brains washed does it take to see the dollar signs?
We’re wandering the blank space
Filling the gaps of the raw truth
Truth that has yet to set me free
And if we try to recognize the fiction
We won’t be part of the picture now

Tell me, who or what give you the right to decide what defines innocent lives?
If we carry on this way we won’t survive
If we carry on this way we won’t survive
We have to draw the line
If we carry on this way we won’t survive
We have to draw the line


8. CRUX LUST

I can’t walk through life when it all wears down
I won’t lie, I don’t have a clear mind
I don’t have a clear mind!
Push! Push! Push!
We run away
I call it rejection
You call it affection
Cast away, I’ll cast away

How I perceive my own beliefs is clearly up to me
I guess sharing the light's not what it was
I was your eye on the inside
Still hypnotized with your eyes wide open
Better run before you know you’re in the hold of something
That came to take you to a place of the nameless
What is this place?
I can’t escape it

If the time is right you see them hang above the skies like hawks
Trap you in their claws and crush you
Then they turn around expecting to control you
They won’t control you!

But if what was wrong and what was right we’re sound and not ignored;
Then maybe I could be the voice inside that head of yours
Wondering what makes your clock tick backwards
I wait and watch you pick your prey and break their backs
Its madness

They’ll mislead you to a lost truth
How will we ever find our way?
They see you, it’s haunting
They’ll tell you it will be okay
Why do you hide from them?

Because they already see you
But you’re stronger than them
You won’t break or bend
They can’t hold you down

But if what was wrong and what was right we’re sound and not ignored;
Then maybe I could be the voice inside that head of yours
Wondering what makes your clock tick backwards
I wait and watch you pick your prey and break their backs
Its madness
Still hypnotized with your eyes wide open

I can’t escape it


9. PARANOIA

Burn the midnight oil
I’ll be awake tonight
Connecting dots,
Finding the way out

Paranoia, it comes in circles
And is headed right for you
Headed right for you!
I’ll be up tonight
I’ll be up tonight

I was so close to you
But now I’m as far away as I can’t get
Paranoia!
It comes in circles
And is headed right for you

So close your eyes and get lost with me!
So close your eyes and get lost with me!
To another space in time
Where you can’t lose track
To another space in time
Where you won’t look back

There’s no gravity to hold me together
What we are
How we feel
Why we felt it
Things in the air won’t change
To another place, another date
As we watch time cut away

Looking back now I would have done this all the same
Would have done this all the same
All the same, same
No state of mind control is far from sight
It has us running blind
Paranoia!
Is headed right for you

So close your eyes and get lost with me!
So close your eyes and get lost with me!
To another space in time
Where you can’t lose track
To another space in time
Where you won’t look back

There’s no gravity to hold me together

This thorn thrown in my side
For the last time
I see the start and won’t fear the finish line
For me this isn’t it
I won’t quit, I’ll beat the sickness
You think I’m crazy but I’m doing just fine
Living inside of my own mind


10. BLACK MAGIC

“Listen to me now”
What she said to me
We tend to disagree
Back and forth
Can’t collect myself
She can’t afford her crave for attention anymore

I can tell and you know it that you’re dangerous
You left me shattered
This is black magic
In the moment how you feel, right?
You’re feeling lucky and wise

I think I'm falling in love with you for the wrong reasons
A vixen fixin’
With a plan of attack this season
If you can even see the broken pieces
Believe or deceive me
You are not my weakness

I can tell and you know that you’re dangerous
You left me shattered
This is black magic
Back and forth
Can’t collect myself
She can’t afford her craves for attention anymore

A mystery behind dark eyes
You’ve arrive unnoticed
I’ve seen this face before
And then she said to me,
“I’ll dance with you
I’ll dine pressed as death
Right in front of you
I’m as real as I can get”

Her grace invaded where she was seated
It’s hard to beat her,
A perfect outline of what you need

I hope you have trouble falling asleep
When the sun is up, when does love arrive?
And when does it say goodbye?
I hope they see the spite in you

“I’ll dance with you
I’ll dine pressed as death
Right in front of you
I’m as real as I can get”

And I hope they see the spite in you
I hope they see the spite in you


11. CLOUDY MINDS

This is a battle
Step up, step up
Here’s to our luck of waking up alone and unassisted
It always seems like a dead-end when things speed up again
Contain me, then blame me for my thoughts
My so-called circle became nothing to me

Faded, everything is faded
Make amends with me
It’s all that you can do
Cloud minded about times not behind me
You were my only nemesis
I see it in perfect vision
Have you seen the imperfections at all?
You see me standing at the end of a one day.

Face first to the wall
End of a one way,
You could have had it all
In front me I see in perfect vision
It towers over me
That this is not the picture I once held in a past life,
An unconscious memory
Cloudy minded about time now behind me
You were my only nemesis
A bulky bag of bones has been placed on my shoulders
