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

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

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:
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:
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:
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.
