1. PERILOUS CURSE

This love is a curse that's fading away
If I could only see your eyes
I swear It may just change my mind
That this wasn't a dream, a diamond I can't see
When we had everything but time
Why did we let it pass us by?

The scent of your perfume left me consumed
And every promise that you made, were they pure and true?
Cause when I looked beyond the mattress
I saw you for what you really were
And from that moment you've been a stranger and I've been a fool

This love is a curse that's fading away
If I could only see your eyes
I swear It may just change my mind
That this wasn't a dream, a diamond I can't see
When we had everything but time
Why did we let it pass us by?

There's a contract in a shoe box
And a ring that comes with a veil
You've shattered all my dreams, you're a liar too

With there being so many ghosts inside
My stored past that haunts me
Will I be the one destroyed after this?

Is it a sign of weakness
Can't do it anymore
I was drowning in the ocean
Now I'm floating to the shore

You left me to die there
Sinking in the core
This love is a sequence in a series of failures

This love is a curse that's fading away
If I could only see your eyes
I swear It may just change my mind
That this wasn't a dream, a diamond I can't see
When we had everything but time
Why did we let it pass us by?

You left me to die there
Sinking in the core
This love is a sequence in a series of failures


2. WAKING UP WITH THE WOLVES

Close your eyes, and pretend I'm by your side
Can you feel me love?
Can you see me love?

You wake up alone
It's still forty days until I come home
Does it get easier love?
It seems like it never does...
Is that why you lie?
And tell me your alright?

Close your eyes, and pretend I'm by your side
Can you feel me love?
Can you see me love?
I know your not alright
But this is all we have for tonight
It hurts but can you feel me love?
Can you see me love?

Are you alright?
I'm starving for answers
I need to know exactly where you are, wherever you are

It's cold tonight
These sheets have always felt like winter
Are you with someone else tonight?
Is your body his instead of mine?
So I lie, and tell you I'm alright...

Close your eyes and pretend I'm by your side my love
Can you feel me love?
Can you see me love?
I know your not alright
But this is all we have for tonight
It hurts but can you fee me love?
Can you see me love?

Why are you waking up with the wolves?

I know your not alone
I heard someones voice on the telephone
I can't stay out here for one more night
I'm coming home
You were my home

Close your eyes, and pretend I'm yours once again tonight
Can you feel me love?
Can you see me love?
Even though your not alright
For once more,
Let me be yours tonight
Please forgive me love,
Will you see me love?

This is to much to take in for one night.


3. NOTHING COMES EASY BUT YOU

Your beauty forced a change in me
Vivid and pure, it will always be haunting me
Burnt out by the temptress of old
Reborn, you're constantly challenging me...

It never seemed so easy
For you to put me back together again
Lost in your eyes
The time flies by
Soon i'll be gone
Left without a trace
I need you, to put me back together again

I ache for you constantly
Through my veins I yearn for you hopelessly
And when it's my time to go
If all else fails, I desperately want you to know

It never seemed so easy
For you to put me back together again
Lost in your eyes
The time flies by
Soon i'll be gone
Left without a trace
I need you, to put me together again...

Have I ever been so scared?
To be lost without a trace
My heart broken in two
Your memory erased
I'm so scared to be alone
You made me whole

I will always miss you
You will always have a place inside my heart

You make me whole...


4. VAN GOGH

Give away all that you have inside
Every last moment that you're alive
Until your body is cold
Sure, as he peels away your skin
You see the monster is intent
To see this to the end

It would be easier to die
Just easier sometimes

Because the light is a sober reminder of what he did
Your body can't get over it

Life has been keeping you awake
Asphyxiated by the hate
And it never calms
Sew the aching in your veins
That no one ever sees
With the blade in the sheets

It would be easier to die
Just easier sometimes

Because the light is a sober reminder of what he did
Your body can't get over it

It's over, it's over
Except the scars that last forever

It would be easier to die
Just easier sometimes

Because the light is a sober reminder of what he did
Your body can't get over it


5. A CALL TO ARMS

Shots ring out like a bell,
As they're running away from the scene.
The sweat leaking down to my pillow
Makes it so much harder and harder to sleep.
The blast gets a little bit louder
To the point that it's deafening.
To see the last of the undead soldiers
Falling faster and faster down to their knees.
Wake up, do you believe in this, honestly?

This is a call to arms.
Revenge is ours.
We need to destroy the songs.
That feed the beast in the radio.
That spread like a gas leak in suburban homes.

Shackled and ready to go my army sounds like a symphony.
A chant and a screaming war siren makes it so much harder for
you to sleep at night.
The blackout of an industry full of tyranny.
The blackout of an industry is what we need
To bring them down to their knees.

This is a call to arms.
Revenge is ours.
We need to destroy the songs.
That feed the beast in the radio.
That spread like a gas leak in suburban homes.

Wake up, turn it off.
This is a breakout and the inmates are about to revolt.
Take it back and take it back for good.
Do you believe in this, honestly?

This is a call to arms.
Revenge is ours.
We need to destroy the songs.
That feed the beast in the radio.
That spread like a gas leak in suburban homes.
Because this is a call to arms.


6. LUCID

I stocked up on the ropes and the chains.
Can we keep things together now?
My mind is a broken shell and the last pieces
Are covering the bathroom...
Which way to the door.
I'm being chased by doctors.

Lucid and tranquil.
I've got my sanity.
Everything I ever was in mapped out on the whiteboard,
For everyone and anyone.
Someone please show me the door.

To sanctity my sanctuary
Is hidden deep inside from most.
And the secrets in the locket I wear,
They've been prescribed by doctors.
I need more.

Lucid and Tranquil.
I've got my sanity.
Everything I ever was is mapped out on the whiteboard,
For everyone and anyone.
Someone please show me the room.
Where I lost my innocence
Into a vacuum of paranoid secrecy.
Is everybody after me?
Someone please show me more,
Show me more...


7. CONCUBINE

So take a minute and ask yourself why
Every second you're after just seems to pass.
Take a minute and ask why you ran away from it.
And every moment, thereafter, is a relapse.
From the memory before to the one that just passed.
Take a minute and ask yourself why.
It's easier to appease me when you are down on your knees,
and you're begging for me.
To take it easy on you, it's easier to
Leave you when you're down...

These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
Yesterday seemed so long ago,
And the best of me is almost too hard to find...
These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
Why do you face this alone?

So now you've watched the playback in your mind.
Would you agree that you let it all slip past?
I just had to ask why it got away from you.
Does every regret burn from the inside?
From the memory before to the one that just passed,
Watch it again and ask yourself why?
It's easier to appease me when you are down on your knees and alone.

These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
Yesterday seemed so long ago,
And the best of me is almost too hard to find...
These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
Why do you face this alone?

These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
Yesterday seemed so long ago,
And the best of me is almost too hard to find...
These are just wasted intentions.
They're mixed up and they're all pretentious.
Why do you face this alone?


8. LIVING EXPENSES

Paralyzed between these metal walls.
And how I wish I had something more than this.
Is this success?
'Cause when I'm home, it's just another day.
A piece of the furniture with nothing to say.
Your jester who lives to fail.

Everything that was written by me is complicated.
I swear I give you my words.
They get mixed up sometimes,
And everything that was written by me,
What's the meaning? I swear I give you my words.
They get lost sometimes.

Oh, it's cute to kiss and tell.
But the craziest part is that you all will never know for sure,
Did I mean it all?
Any part at all?
They lyrics are just a fragile wall to keep me guarded from you.

Everything that was written by me is complicated.
I swear I give you my words.
They get mixed up sometimes,
And everything that was written by me,
What's the meaning?
You think you see it, the words.
They get lost sometimes.

Oh, how I bleed for you.
I wear my heart on my sleeve.
I live and bleed for only you.

With everything that was written by me,
You'll never see it,
You'll never get it.
This world gets me down sometimes...


9. FOOL'S GOLD

There's a machine in my head.
There's a grinding in my brain.
The best part is that it turns you on.
The grinding penetrates
Under the sheets, my dear.
We lie in love, but with fool's gold.
I want to give you the plans
Just to make you stop.
I want you to get out of here for good.
It's in my bed, but my bed is a plot.
And the shovel is anchored down to the floor.

And I won't need to see you pushing up dirt again.
And I won't need to see you gagging on sincerity.
Daylight kills us.
KO'd by it and counting to ten.
Faced with choices
To pack it in or stand up and fight again.

There's something in my hand
Pushing into my veins.
The tablature is for a death march.
I can't miss you
Because you're already gone.
This is the climax to our love song.
You're in my head, but gone for good.
Your sonnet's melody plays on.

And I won't need to see you pushing up dirt again.
And I won't need to see you gagging on sincerity.
Daylight kills us.
KO'd by it and counting to ten.
Faced with choices
To pack it in or stand up and fight again.

We lie in love but with fool's gold.


10. A THIEF IN THE RANKS (YOUR BIKE)

Your desperation
Your inspiration

When you finally became a mute,
while a sad song plays,
you lie helpless and lost,
infected by the truth
That was fabricated by you.
Your image shattered in the eye of the storm.
We would never reach out to you.
How could you?

Your desperation to look like a victim
is such a cop-out.
You're fooling yourself.
Your inspiration is your contradictions.
You've lost the concept of what's the real truth.

That it's you who is the thief.
Who should by humbled by the
sheer size of your crimes.
We befriended you.
It was abuse.
There's no better time then the present time
to finally forget you.
How could you?

Your desperation to look like a victim
is such a cop-out.
You're fooling yourself.
Your inspiration is your contradictions.
You've lost the concept
of what's the real truth.

Close your eyes, and pretend that it's alright.
Do you feel it tonight?
Can you feel it tonight?
It's all crashing down.

Lately you know you've seen it.
The face, in the mirror never lies.
You're fading.
Fading...


11. 11:11

Don't say goodbye
'Cause I'm still right here
And don't you give up
My love for you is stronger than this

I'm a tightrope walker,
I'm a vagabond poet,
Who was killed for an atist's guilt
Time will disappear and kill
Without any conscious
But I'll still
Always be here

And know, I know
How much this hurts you, my dear
Just give it time,
I promise we'll meet again

I'm a tightrope walker,
I'm a vagabond poet,
Who was killed for an atist's guilt
Time will disappear and kill
Without any conscious
But I'll still
Always be here

Ohhhh Ohhhhhhh
(Ohhhhhhhh Ohhhh)

The hall is the ghost of it
The walls are paved with glass
The meaning is the spotlight
And the stars all form a crowd
There's blood in the backseat
And a screech the artist's sound

And soon there'll be nobody
(Soon there'll be nobody)
Soon there'll be nobody
(Soon there'll be nobody)
Soon there'll be nobody here
(Soon there'll be nobody)

Soon there'll be nobody here...
