2. THE CALM BEFORE REFORM (FT. DAVE STEPHENS OF WE CAME AS ROMANS)

Let it out!

It's the end of the world I wanna hear you scream those lungs out
On a pillar I stand, casting a shadow over poisonous gas
Put on your mask and let it out!
Tonight I see you all in a different light
I see the side of you that's begging to stand and fight
Hey! Hey! You're already dead men,
So give it to me like the anger manifest! Come on!
SCREAM! At the top of your fucking lungs!
SCREAM! At the top of your fucking lungs!

I can see every mind from this perspective
I can pen every blank page that your temples seem to hide
Can you hear me? Listen closely
It's all I ask of you tonight if you'd be so kind

Give me the strength to part this sea
Tear a hole through memory
(The anchors fall...)
Those tides come up as I'm awakened
As I'm awakened from my calm
I'm just a sliver of the system that feeds on broken men
It's all I live for, it's all I live for!

It's all I had
It's the end of the world, I wanna hear you scream!

Tell me, was it everything you thought it would be?
Did you meet your goals? Did you fulfill your dreams?
It was everything I knew it would be
Just a machine dictated by the hands of greed
Life of filth, brought to an end by the hand that fed us all
Fed us all the federal dream
Bit by the hand that feeds

I can see every mind from this perspective
I can pen every blank page that your temples seem to hide
Did you hear me? Did you listen closely?
Just let me fill your minds with my thoughts one last time

And give me the strength to part this sea
Tear a hole through memory
(The anchors fall...)
Those tides come up as I'm awakened.
As I'm awakened from my calm
I'm just a sliver of the system that feeds on broken men
It's all I live for, it's all I live for!

Every night when the moon is high
I close my eyes and wonder when they'll say goodbye
At which moment will I take a breath for the last time
When can I make peace with my demise?
Don't let us wonder anymore

Give me the strength to part this sea
Tear a hole through memory
(The anchors fall...)
Those tides come up as I'm awakened
As I'm awakened from my calm
I'm just a sliver of the system that feeds on broken men
It's all I live for, it's all I live for!

Give me the strength to part the sea
Tear a hole through memory
The anchors fall...
The tides are coming up as I'm awakened
It was everything I knew it would be
Just a machine dictated by the hands of greed
It's all I had!


3. A SILENT DRUM

I pretend the only reason I am here is to be the one that you endear
Grab a hold of what you fear, and erase it all

Oh Mother, the world is wearing down and you're the only thing I need
The only reason I can even keep my head below the clouds
Without you it's pointless, alone I am helpless
The air interrupted by the gases that we sow
I can barely recognize your face, oh how it use to glow
I cannot stand this fucking world

All alone here we are, I can feel your heart
As it beats a silent drum
Now my body's going numb
This isn't our end
As long as you're near me
I'm seeing clearly now
Let's live like it's just us
We can make the best of the world that they left us

Now I'm the one you trust
In the age of disgust I can help you conquer anything
We'll accomplish everything that comes in the midst of the end of days
This is our time to persevere through the greatest evil known to man:
The governing hand

Don't let me die, don't let it crush me inside
I only trust what these eyes can see
Son just open up your eyes and look past those glowing skies
Just recall those times that are keeping us alive

All alone here we are, I can feel your heart
As it beats a silent drum
Now my body's going numb
This isn't our end
As long as I'm near you
Nothing can tear you down
Let's live like it's just you and I
I can build us a home from what's left of our lives

Smoke fills my lungs as I awaken in this hell we call home
But the more I reminisce of yesterday
I find we only need each other, not a sister nor a brother

All alone here we are, I can feel your heart
As it beats a silent drum
Now my body's going numb
All alone here we are, I can feel your heart
As it beats a silent drum
Now my body's going numb
This isn't our end
As long as I'm near you
Nothing can tear you down
Let's live like it's just you and I
I can build us a home from what's left of our lives


4. LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO

Instant fame, is the name of the game
The pieces were carefully put in place
And nothing's gonna stand in my way
But he who exhibits poise and grace
Is left to fend for himself in the worst of ways
So make them shiver, but don't cause a scene
Do everything you can, just to look 18
Never forget to convey what you mean
Or just dangle from the strings of the powers that be

The list goes on and on and on
And the only way to stay sane
Is just to bottle it up and wait
For the moment you take the stage
And see their hands keeping time
With the rhymes that you created
I'm finally worth something, I finally made it

So take it all, I don't wanna sell my soul today
Look what you made me do, it happened anyway
How can I find a way home?
Back to the honest days
So take it all, I don't wanna sell my soul today
Look what you made me do, it happened anyway
You chewed me up and spit me out like I knew you would
You owe me a childhood

Instant fame!

There was a time when I
used to dream of this life, imagine the limelight
Hindsight is 20/20 and I'm losing my mind
I'm fucking sick of this shit, will I be something more?
Will I ever exist? I will never submit
And take the side of the inferior
They all bestow their bodies to the earth
The soil, rich with self indulgence
I stand upon

So take it all, I don't wanna sell my soul today
Look what you made me do, it happened anyway
How can I find a way home?
Back to the honest days
So take it all, I don't wanna sell my soul today
Look what you made me do, it happened anyway
You chewed me up and spit me out like I knew you would


5. SOUL SURVIVOR

I'm the only one, I'm the only one
To ever lay a hand upon this soil
I wander through what I once called home

When all the time you have abandons you,
You'll think about the past and wish that you could see straight through
All the bullshit that you dealt with along the way
And live your life like you wanted to.
Live your life, live your life like you wanted!

Ages away from, ages away from companion, I sit and stare
I sit and stare at pieces of my past (pieces of my past)
I've been wandering aimlessly
As the sun beats down on no one else but me
All alone on this earth
Trying to find a way to quench my thirst
My days are numbered and I can't begin
To count the ways I have sinned

When all the time you have abandons you
You'll think about the past and wish that you could see straight through
All the bullshit that you dealt with along the way
And live your life like you wanted to, oh like you wanted to

When all the time you have abandons you
You'll think about the past and wish that you could see straight through
All the bullshit that you had to deal with while you were on your way
While you were on your way

Why do I deserve a second chance?
Am I lucky or inhuman? Am I sane or am I mad?
I'm the only one who gets a chance
A chance to live on
‘Cause I can breathe without my mask

When all the time you have, abandons you
You'll think about the past, and wish that you could travel back
To the times when you should've realized
You were hiding behind apprehension

Why do I deserve a second chance?
And we can't breath without our masks


6. A CREEPING DOSE

Hell rains upon me
With the reigns of atomic end
It doesn’t matter what I believe
Cause in the end it’s all about the means
These winds are no longer safe for breathing
They convey the fatal blow
But a vessel that special delivers its poisons,
They’re flowing straight into my lungs
I should have know that it would end this way
But I was locked up, shut down, shoving it all away
I was in denial
And now know you’re all guilty too
You’re all fucking guilty

There’s a sickness in my body
Every pore, every aperture, an avenue
For the life to escape it's host
Everything I touch I leave my husk behind
Empty bones and undertones of fumes that sear my soul,
I’ll repair these tattered lungs
With a drop of cyanide upon my tongue

I’m too sick to move
I’m too weak to make it through
The soil I lay upon has been polluted with the truth
And I’m too sick to move
Arms made of lead along with a shortness of breath,
Brought on by armies of dead men
With no sense of regret

There’s a sickness in my body
Every pore, every aperture, an avenue
For the life to escape it's host
Everything I touch I leave my husk behind
Empty bones and undertones of fumes that sear my soul,
I’ll repair these tattered lungs
With a drop of cyanide upon my tongue

Now my lungs, are filled with a creeping dose of
Bitter disgust, for the world I used to trust

The world has yet to see, what can truly be unleashed
When you fuck with the, intercontinental travesty


7. IT ALL COMES OUT (ON THE WAY DOWN)

I'm making a promise
A promise I'll never break
To let you go
I need to let you go
So try to tell me that I'm always wrong
That our love is strong
That our love is strong
But baby it's just when the lights are off
That it all comes out it all comes out
Every single time that I'm not with you
Baby, I'm alone, baby, I'm alone
Let me tell you this place feels empty
Doesn't feel like, doesn't feel like home.
Now you're thinking of me in the middle of the night
Baby now you're thinking how it felt so right [x3]
And our rhythm is so smooth
An hour passes and it's still just me and you
Free falling through the pale moonlight
Free falling for the rest of our lives
Every single time that I'm not with you
Baby I'm alone baby I'm alone
Let me tell you this place feels empty
Doesn't feel like, doesn't feel like home.
This one night is how I want to spend the rest of
my life Regretting nothing leaving it all behind
Is how I want to spend the rest of my life [x2]
Leave it all behind for the rest of my life
Just this one night leave it all behind
Every single time that I'm not with you
Baby I'm alone, baby, I'm alone
Let me tell you this place feels empty
Doesn't feel like, doesn't feel like home.

9. DREAM CATCHER

If I fall asleep, please don't let me dream
I keep on wishing that I'll forget those awful things I've seen

I'm afraid to fall asleep
Dream catcher, won't you save me?
From the terror in my mind

You wouldn't believe, you wouldn't believe
The way that violence has been glorified
I couldn't believe, I couldn't believe
That I was taking lives in record time
My ears are plagued with the cries of my enemies
I heard their cries, but mine silently died

'Cause there's no one I can turn to
I've got a question and nobody's got the answer
So I'm asking one last time
Ohh, is there a way, is there a way to tell the difference in between
A dream and a memory?
I've got these memories of enemies
That dwell on me perpetually

I'm afraid to fall asleep
Dream catcher, won't you save me?
From the terror in my mind

The ways of the world have evolved in
Opposition to the common man
A sovereign state of mind evoked the end
You sure did make a killing, but I'm the last man standing

'Cause there's no one I can turn to
I've got a question and nobody's got the answer
So I'm asking one last time
Ohh, is there a way, is there a way to tell the difference in between
A dream and a memory?
I've got these memories of enemies
That dwell on me perpetually

I'm the only one awake
Even though I can stand on my own two feet
I stand alone without a soul to keep me company

And there's no one I can turn to
Dream catcher, won't you save me?
And there's no one I can turn to
Dream catcher, won't you save me?
And there's no one I can turn to
Dream catcher, won't you save me?

'Cause there's no one I can turn to
Dream catcher, won't you save me?


10. YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE

I've lost my faith in humanity
As I spin around the sun
I'm left to wonder why
A race of intelligent creatures
Must fight for position of power
Now my soil is spoiled due to
what's become of your contention
Unnecessary, simple minded, arbitrary actions

So change your ways of hostility
And vanity and all the vices in between
Before I take it all away
The clock it's ticking pick it up, go!

All I'm trying to find
Is a way that I can show you
What you've done to me inside
You've poisoned the surface
Without any purpose
And I can bring the cold till your blood doesn't flow
Fire from my vents I can throw
Well you've done me a favor,
You saved me the labor
Now I can shed my skin
Now I can shed my skin
So I can start again

My my my, you've really done it this time
What kind of species would annihilate their only home
Oh you've dug yourself into a hole, a pit that never ends
You should know from the books that you've read
I've been through this a time or two,
The fossils were the clue I left to you
So maybe you'll take this advice and

Change your ways of hostility
And vanity and all the vices in between
Before I take it all away
Your time is quickly running out, and

All I'm trying to find
Is a way that I can show you
What you've done to me inside
You've poisoned the surface
Without any purpose
And I can bring the cold till your blood doesn't flow
Fire from my vents I can throw
Well you've done me a favor,
You saved me the labor
Now I can shed my skin

Now I can shed my skin
So I can start again

You've been with me from the beginning
(I fed you, I gave you life)
And without you I'll stop spinning
(I can't sustain my spin)

Why would you destroy what I provide?
I withhold a molten supply of ethical rehabilitation
And I reserve the right to exterminate you
When I feel the time is right
Genocide!
Don't let me catch you fall out of line

All I'm trying to find
Is a way that I can show you
What you've done to me inside
You've poisoned the surface
Without any purpose
And I can bring the cold till your blood doesn't flow
Fire from my vents I can throw
Well you've done me a favor,
You saved me the labor
Now I can shed my skin


11. LAST MAN STRANDED

In another time
When the light didn't blind my eyes
I would've killed just to fall asleep
No god beyond these clouds
No feet upon this ground
The desolate king I'm crowned

Take me back to the life that left me
This time I guarantee
I'll have everything that escaped me
A new identity
Introduce you to the real me

This world of mine is pulling me under
This genocide has forgotten me
I can't last without the ones that left me
I regret the times I couldn't see

With your eyes locked dead on mine
And your heart open wide
You exhaled just one last time:
"Don't go, just take me with you"
I can't bare to see the blood on your dress
Don't leave me alone in this mess
So many things that I should've confessed
I'm lost inside

This world of mine is pulling me under
This genocide has forgotten me
I can't last without the ones that left me
I regret the times I couldn't see
(I'm lost inside)
This world of mine is pulling me under
This genocide has forgotten me
I can't last without the ones that left me
I regret the times I couldn't see

Introduce you to the real me


12. SELF FULFILLING PROPHECY

I see this world so clearly behind my mask
And everyone's guilty of striving for sovereignty,
Striving for victory over the rest
I won't play adversary anymore

I won't bare witness to coercion,
But I'll bear persistent arms
I'm scouring through these lessons burned into my mind
And closure is out of reach
What was the motive behind the end of time?
The end of reason
The act of treason

You've all eroded the fibers of morality
You bear no mind
For the existential ones you left behind

I see this world so clearly behind my mask
And everyone's guilty of striving for sovereignty
Striving for victory over the rest
I won't play adversary anymore

If what you had preached
Was what you believed,
I wouldn't live amongst this mass of debris
The places I've seen, the memories I keep
Claimed by your self-fulfilling prophecy

You've awaken a side of me
That will never succumb to sleep
I've built an immunity
You won't infect me!

I see this world so clearly behind my mask
And everyone's guilty of striving for sovereignty
Striving for victory over the rest
I won't play adversary anymore
