Tangled up in broken strings Staring back at useless things You've found the will to walk away Another puppet gone astray No credence left, no pride to sell You're broken like an angel Who's fallen from the hands above Closer to flesh and blood Living a life merely to survive Hopes and prospects on the line Nothing to lose, nothing to gain Now freedom ain't so far away Forgetting that sense of security The orders you obeyed against your beliefs The payments you made, and the stories you told Not knowing which way to go We'll either fall into submission Or bring this phantom to life Don't bother waiting for ultimate failing We'll reach our destiny tonight Gazing up at the sky Where the corporate and divine Blacken out shining stars I realize that there are So many lights inside us So much culture and humanity lost In the streams of memory Cast into shallow seas We'll either fall into submission Or bring this phantom to life Don't bother waiting for ultimate failing We'll reach our destiny tonight We'll either fall into submission Or be the saviour of this life Don't bother waiting for ultimate failing We'll reach our destiny tonight

Hello, friendly You're so heavy What are you fighting for? A people fooled by religion Haunted by ideas and visions That could never be proved We're not ourselves When we're fighting for someone else On the inside Are foundations too complex for our own minds The strong lived, the weak died From eugenics and genocide But cultures strive for the same things We've the same ends, just different means And under our skin, we've all got questions Itching to be saved We're not ourselves When we're fighting for someone else On the outside There's a whole world breaking for your pride You've got your sins We've got questions When will you realize These nations don't exist outside our minds Extend this mile Until your thoughts are volatile Compete to decline Inside these shallow lines You want it all right at your fingers Until this world is on your shoulders And I wonder will this be forever? How will we die?

Lost again in a well-known trance Where everybody is gone And you can't find your way back home The fog chokes the stars There's no light where you are Then you see that this is reality So tell me why, why should I lie And say that I love a life I hate inside When there are so many people out there To love and care for But I just can't find The means to get out of this hole You taught me long ago That I'm stuck in this place I loathe Where silence is meant to cause us pain I like to remember with insight Until it becomes obsessive and trite Now I'm driven to believe That if man is only free locked in a prison of memories Then maybe I'd rather be a slave To an amnestic mentality So tell me why, why should I try To live a life that I despise When there are so many people out there To love and care for But I just can't find The strength to climb out of this hole You taught me long ago That I'm stuck in this place I loathe Where silence is meant to cause us pain 'Cause I constantly turn away And keep making the same mistakes So much for love... Is misery a syndrome of the mind's disease A reaction to our failure To prove who we ought to be You taught me long ago That I'm stuck in this place I loathe Where silence is meant to cause us pain 'Cause I constantly turn away And keep making the same mistakes So much for love...

Let's start again before the story ends In another unconscious state of man Last one awake, I wander through the maze As the populace rises to a dying age And I want to believe in you But you're standing on my point of view Disconnected 'cause I've been socially inclined To make the same of this As the demons I've known and the lies they transmit Last one awake, I wander through the haze Losing sight of constraints in time and space And I want to believe in you But in never-ending circles we're still fighting over truth And you want to believe in me But my foreign convictions are drowning your liberty

Left In Vain 03:49
I will shed this light To better serve the ones Who fail to understand That these could be the last words of humanity In a thousand years of insanity And nobody's saying goodbye It's written on the wall Powerful men will fall And hell will take 'em slow If truth is a waste of time I'm falling out of line 'Cause I won't follow lies So take this fate away I believe it when i say That there's still time To rid ourselves of this hypocrisy And be the images we see But the road is long, and our lives short So we must fight for what it's worth If truth is a waste of time I'm falling out of line 'Cause I won't follow lies We should have stayed We left in vain Now we're living in a strange world order Where rich men preach words of poverty And poor men the wealth of purity And so we'll go into a state of hope We should have stayed, we left in vain But yesterdays never remain If truth is a waste of time I'm falling out of line 'Cause I won't follow lies

On the outskirts of a cave Two wise men sat And pondered over the souls inside Still lost in silhouettes Then the silence started screaming Under collapsing ceilings The truth blinded the blind And crushed the illusion that sustained their pride Give me something to believe I've been waiting patiently Do you care to save me And give me something to believe So the weak turned away From themselves and laughed At those enlightened ones who accept The painful truth that Only those left to the gallows Can escape living in shadows So hang me dry Under the blazing sky And give me something to believe I've been waiting patiently Do you care to save me And give me something to believe Now I look back On the day the sun finally shone Reminiscent of a tribe reborn A servant moving on From a life not known Outside of castle walls That she knew all too well Give me something to believe I've been waiting patiently Do you care to save me?

I'm thrown off by a mystery At some point were we free? 'Cause now mindless media and TV screens Are tying us down by The margins in our lives The faces stand tall Convincing us we want it all But someday we'll grow Into a shape that we don't know Surrender to this faith A faith confined by the roles we play From freedom to control Ignorance takes its toll In the faces it shows They're so fucked up and pitiful But realize we had a dream Promoted and mainstreamed No longer do we know what it means But someday they'll show Us a face that we don't know Surrender to these days Surrounded by the lives we chase The lives are staged And the actors engaged In a metaphor for human decay But do we like what we see Do we sit back and let it be Someday we'll grow Into a shape that we don't know Surrender to these days To be trapped inside the lines we trace

Solitary 03:49
I settle down, I watch the world on my own I wash my face with pride, the loneliness won't sting my eyes Another cold face on the street Won't turn my head, won't get to me It's easier to live life in a dream Now I'm so fucked I can't remember Humility's a fading picture I wish things stayed the same And I'm so drunk Inebriation has taken my best thoughts and patience I wish I weren't so vain I'm stupefied with good intentions But I won't ever take these actions To save somebody else Because my own philosophy considers only me Narcissism suits me well Me well Mean well What does it mean to mean well It swells, this pattern swells It's swell, confinement is swell Another cold face on the street Won't turn my head, won't get to me It's easier to live life in a dream

Yesterday I said goodbye As the landscapes turned to red and fell into the sky How quickly that storm came to destroy a life A life constructed by a fantasy Born again into cold and shaking hands Where the colours aren't quite the same So I must be moving on As the weeks go by, I wonder Who was the artist before her piece was torn asunder How quickly things can change The desire for you became the distance we always knew Understand that things never go as planned And the future's so far away So I must be moving on Pastel shades that we never thought would fade With the seasons they vanished And I started moving on So I stood in the breeze, and I watched that reality Peel off the canvas Now I must be moving on from this life you've drawn I must be moving on

Uniform Fear 08:12
My open mind has faded, all my beliefs persuaded And all these thoughts are meaningless Unless I add another twist These words are not my fault, I think it’s time For me to get a piece of what is real In this lonely town 'Cause every day's the same, I wake up with the sun across my face And wait for blind perception to take a hold of me Another day has died, another hour cries Only for a precision that fades in time And I won't be caught up in shit I won't wonder what I miss I won't stare into abyss and bow my head to cry 'Cause tears won't wipe this from my eyes Fear is just an excuse for lies And I'll wait for change, but in the meantime I think I'll sleep And dream I'm free, away from this void outside of me I won't fall down, I won't look up Fear is just an empty space inside our hearts My thoughts are clean My sanity is giving into nothing but society I'll slow down distantly to be put back to sleep I'll fail to reach all you expect of me And I can't stand the lies You're such an animal in that disguise Can we remember the good on the outside of time?
