Blind Mind 04:01
One by one they’re stricken blind and broken In a portrait of conformity they’re frozen They think they’re thinking what they think right when the invisible machine has spoken and they Fall in line to the beat of a drum until they're voiceless and numb just killing time Poisoned their heads with the lies they’ve been fed believing them as they're said never asking why Afraid of the voices that bring the dark to life They’ll never understand what they never try to find They’re all afraid to walk alone down an untraveled path of pain But I’ll wait out in the rain with every wonder and disbelief Every time I look outside it’s all I fucking see Empty minds and narrow eyes destroying everything swallowing and following a cold complacency raping meaning dry and feeding on the shallow certainty that they believe One by one they’re stricken blind and broken In a portrait of conformity they're frozen They think they’re thinking what they think right when the invisible machine has spoken and they Hide away senseless and fake always surrounding me but I’m not going to brake I want to scream until I can’t breath my eyes roll back into my head and my ears bleed It’s spreading slowly A wasted life and a hallow death It’s spreading slowly It’s going to spread until there’s no one left

Sunday 04:18
I’m in the basement again Footsteps and voices pierce the floor above my head But they won’t find my ears this way They're being silenced by the unrelenting rain It won’t go away Thunder and lightning cast themselves high onto the stairs that I have just begun to climb A quest of question, a storm of uncertainty Seeking an answer that will kill me But this rain won’t go away because alleluias fade Maybe this world is not conclusion but narcotics wont control the wonder gnawing my soul And I’ll cry those old lies no more I’m sure I need more than faith For now I’ll think and wait Maybe you’ll see me on Sunday dressed and believing with my eyes Yea I’ll be on my knees Sunday silently screaming in my mind

So let your restless sleep remind you once again it’s really gone, it’s really dead but there’s no rest or peace for the painful memories that scream and bleed inside of you They’re haunting Now everything behind you won’t let you move ahead Your guilty stare reminds you of the last words that you said Look closely at them, are they really what you meant? They’re coming now to pull your heart straight from your chest So rest in peace the one who set me free the lying fiend whose finally found defeat And I’ll set fire to the desperate pain you tried to save then watch it fucking burn and throw the ashes in the grave You’ll see my face welcome the sunrise and I’ll throw the ashes in the grave Throw the ashes in the grave

Interlude 01:21
You were the coldest winter now it’s hard to picture you The mistakes you’ve stumbled through are behind me with the truth

Reflection 05:39
Staring straight past myself, I’m none of my concern I’ve got a lot on my mind, but a lot to learn What’s behind me is what I see, bitter and better days I’ve been staring in the mirror through a troubled face It all seems the same when I look away Everyday I’m amazed by what I see Days align, drift behind, and follow me These ironic reflections linger and sway Find meaning in the mirror while you… Waste away I’ll waste away (Let your mind do the talking for a second and listen) Waste away I’ll waste away (No sense in hiding from your eyes No sense in hiding what’s inside) Waste away I’ll waste away There’s no telling what I’ll see when the mirror frames the back of me I’ll disappear and return like a haunting memory Bones and ashes syncopating slowly Waste waste away (The past waits in a one sided window it holds the face of a murdered child Following fallen leaves as the wind blows, his eyes are frozen and his mind is tired) Staring straight past myself, I’m none of my concern I’ve got a lot on my mind but a lot to learn

Basterd 05:28
I’ve been known to hide my time in my head Days and nights in hind sight all gone all dead Giving up on trying to remember what life was like before we started dying There are things I’ll never know Rivers run and breezes blow Questions line my bloody throat Is life a river or a road? No one leaves it all behind We’re chained to our disasters Can you hear me? Nevermind I know that I’m a bastard What will it take for me to come clean? I’m leaning on you while you’re burying me Somewhere behind me the smoke filled my lungs and I started drowning, I’m so careless I’m numb Why must I be so afraid to shed my youthful skin and then embrace a grey sky None of it makes sense to me Lightning and thunder Hope is but a bitter shade and I’m just a number Days are carved into a stone Read my name, fuck my story Unafraid to die alone Crying pride, complacent glory Boys are buried deep in men and I’m too hard to hear him screaming I’ll just stain the air again breathing skyward without meaning (chorus again) Inside of me, promises repeat I’m wading the deep in a sunless shroud Falling asleep, dying to dream sinking away from the surface down Sink to float, self-imposing Purge to bloat, graced in closing

The Wait 04:27
It’s a never ending day, but it’s almost over Daylight rises just to fade, the end is growing closer Get away get away get away from me The room is empty and I’m scared of what I see The sky is cynical and grey above the road I’m walking and I’ve got so much I could say to you, but I’m not talking If you’ve been saved, you’ve been saved go ahead and pray Just stay away stay away because I’ve lost my faith And I’ll just watch as the days grow dark and fade into nights of pain so I can wander aimlessly through my tormented brain and Wait out my days until death makes an answer so clear Wait, is this my fate? A cheerful grave that says I’m alone here Wait, it’s too late I can’t be saved so fall heavens tears Wait stay awake and tell me please if I’m alone here And if I’m not alone here (I’ve got nothing left to say) And if we’re not alone here (Let the life around me fade) And if I’m not alone here (I suppose that you should) take me away And cry me a lullaby make it a sad one I’ll welcome my last sleep and if I wake up covered in endless flames then I will believe

Storm 03:50
I’ve sat inside, I’ve been afraid of children sent to open graves of trust exposed for lies to break that death will take someone else away So let the clouds cover my sky and leave the ground below them waiting Then comes the thunder bringing grayness to my eyes I’m walking out the front door because I know this storm is mine I’m outside drowning in the rain The rain is watering my pain It grows inside of me, my soul is left to waste Face down my body floats away from the sun into the blackness fallen and broken death has begun Answers to questions and reasons there are none
