Empty Vessel 03:13
lyrics
buy track
Empty Vessel: There are no bridges to burn, no ties to cut And with no life to live, no doors to shut All we see is what we want How is that enough? We've lost our appetite for actuality (actuality) Blinded by apathy, Failing to see what isn't skin deep Why can’t we see with our eyes and not theirs? Find your own way, if you dare. Abstractions painting the world we see Living, breathing, growing before us it’s a travesty Why can’t we see with our eyes and not theirs? Find your own way, if you dare. OH! We're content with losing so we've already lost We put our backs to the wall, That way there's nowhere to fall We put our hands to the sky and accept that we've all said goodnight It's beauty we just can't fathom, But we'll stay here anyway So here's to a place less lucid But better, some may say. These blood soaked streets are paved with gold And there's more to be seen than we're being told We'd all love to be martyrs but for some, its safer inside We put our backs to the wall, That way there's nowhere to fall We throw our hands to the sky and accept that we've all said goodnight It's beauty we just can't fathom, But we'll stay here anyway So here's to a place less lucid But better, some may say.

Wasteland 03:22
lyrics
buy track
Wasteland: I hold this perception that yields the corruption of the wayward path that I seek. I'm a lion in a hole that I've dug with my own pride. Once again I'm orchestrating my own demise. Pull me back. I throw my hands to the sky. Pull me back. I've strayed the path (I’ve missed my mark again) Living in this false reality has blinded me (has blinded me) My vision is hollow, why can’t I see (why can’t I see) I'm the only one that's holding me back from a breakthrough. I'm the only reason that I can't see past myself. Head down and marching off a cliff of my own decisions. I've set the stage for my own collapse. What choice do I have? What choice is left? It's time to break the pattern. It's time to cut the loss. It's time to brave my failure. It’s time, it’s time. Rip the page. Tear the veil. Expose the denial in my eyes. Rip the page right from the record of my lies. Expose the denial in my eyes. I'd rather rebuild than repair what's too far gone. x2 Pull me back. I throw my hands to the sky. Pull me back. I've strayed the path (and missed my mark again) 2x Pull me back

Cathedral 02:45
lyrics

Cathedral: I've found the apex of our pain Between love and disdain Offering open palms as a sign of the calm When the serpents between our teeth We're only fuelling the atheist wit, Every word is a line for their script The irony is thick and we're hoisting a false banner: "Why live with love if we can just ruin it?" x2 Your pedestal is crashing It's coming down (It’s Coming) Your pedestal is crashing It's coming down (It’s coming down) We are the reckless We are the reckless We are the reckless We are the bane of our own existence Not the godless we entice We owe the title as his chosen people but at what unworthy price? Let’s be a beacon of untainted love, Not sign from below but a light from above. We are the reckless. X2

Storm Born 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Storm Born: I'm the son of aberration, A never ending chain reaction Never quite the same as yesterday And accepting with open arms what some may push push away Pushing through the trials Born anew when the dust settles Driven towards a revision, I find myself on a mission My soul is prone to change The desire in my heart will stay the same Pushing through the trials Born anew when the dust settles X2 OH! It hurts knowing where I am and where I wanted to be But when I look at myself now, it's all I ever see. I'm not a broken man, just a stronger child We're all young until we die and grow all the while When the skin I wear is worn A new layer is formed where the last was torn Moving at break neck speeds I can barely keep a grasp on my own identity OH!

Vipers 03:57
lyrics

Vipers: You can't save me Take what's left I've made my choice and I'm here to stay "You can't just give up and start again It's cowards like you that strip our name of its credit" It's so ironic that the blame is on me when you're the reason that I chose to leave "You're too far gone" That's what I've been told But I know I'm strong enough to break free from this mould Free from this mould x2 Through struggle I am a new man Through struggle I've come to where I am x2 I could try to show you but you'll never see I am more than you could ever see me to be "You're just another lost product of assimilation You've made your choice Your path is clear" It's so ironic that the blame is on me When you're the reason that I chose to leave Through struggle I am a new man Through struggle I've come to where I am x2 I've been gone for far too long But you're never too far gone A lost cause is still a cause worth fighting for We can all find our way back x2 Home

Atonement 03:44
lyrics

Atonement: There's no way x2 How have I fallen to these depths? Who could use a wreck like me? Like a fool I lie to the only one who can see through me I feel you, I believe you, But where are you? Tear me down Make room for the new me Tear me down Make me whole again “You've found the flame many fail to light Shaken but steadfast You will rise.” Tear me down Make room for the new me Tear me down Make me whole again Search for me I'm lost with no direction Find me here I'm lost with no direction All I want is to be all you want me to be x2 As empty as I am I give myself to you This life is all I have One soul One hope a faith that will one day bring me to be all that you want me to be Put me back together Make me whole again. Put me back together Make me whole again.
