Breathe again,
Live again,
Exhale it's all nothing,
Exhale it all it's nothing
Recklessly insane,
Blueprints inside my brain,
The writing it's all clear,
The writing looks the same.
Recklessly insane,
Leeches feeding off my brain,
The writing it's all here,
The writing looks the same.
Breathe again,
Live again,
Exhale it's all nothing,
Exhale it all it's nothing.
Breathe again,
Live again,
Exhale,
Exhale,
It's all nothing
If I,
If I was known,
would I be bigger?
In this life,
in a world inverted through a mirror
A trace of soul,
outside when moving forward.
Encased in chrome,
I'm ready for the future.
Dismantle, fight, and terrorize.
Dismantle, fight, and terrorize.
Dismantle, fight, and terrorize.
Dismantle, fight, and terrorize.
Apathetic, anesthetic, hypnotize,
complex desires,
suppress the fire and float on by.
Rules that break me,
walls to cage these indifferent eyes,
apathetic, anesthetic, hypnotize.
Dismantle, fight, and terrorize.
Dismantle, fight, and terrorize,
using artificial alibis.
Dismantle, fight, and terrorize, terrorize.
Dismantle, fight, terrorize, terrorize.
Dismantle, fight, terrorize..
Using artificial alibis.
Apathetic, anesthetic, hypnotize,
complex desires,
suppress the fire and float on by.
Rules that break me,
walls to cage these indifferent eyes,
apathetic, anesthetic,
apathetic, anesthetic,
Hypnotize,
hypnotize,
hypnotize,
hypnotize...
Dismantle, fight...

Tornado I

|

|
Grave desires right on cue,
a role for me and a part for you.
This raw attraction brings me to,
a part of me that wants to take from you.
Half-creation half in view,
your eyes on me and my eyes on you.
Strong attachments bonded through,
a taste of me and a taste of you.
This is the man I am,
troublesome.
A lost and lonely troubled son.
It is the man I am..
It's the man I am, oh..
It is the man I am..
Is this the man I am?

Exile
03:41
|

|
Let us turn our backs,
in scorn on the exile,
he does not belong here,
he does not belong.
Let us kill his name,
wound the soul of the exile,
he must not return here,
he must not return here.
Automated, overrated, everyone will know.
Insulated, elevated, empty ugly soul.
Their decimation, understated,
when everything must go.
In their inundating,
oscillating,
twisted horror show.
Let us kill the love,
in the soul of the exile,
he must not live on here,
he must not live on here.
Our backs are turned,
do not return to us,
do not return,
be gone.

Wasted Heartthrob
05:52
|

|
I have walked through,
a thousand minds,
now I'm missing mine,
I am missing mine.
I have fought for all my days,
just to lose touch,
and forget instead.
I should try and make my life better,
while chained and trapped,
in this vicious fetter I call home.
I am home,
the place that I call home.
Wasted heartthrob,
will it beat again?
I'm afraid not my friend,
I'm afraid not.
Twisted face-off against the ones I love,
guess I'll compete to win,
and disappear within,
my..
I should try and make this world better,
while chained and trapped,
in this vicious fetter I call home,
I am home,
the place that I call home,
I am home.
Wasted heartthrob,
will it beat again?
I'm afraid not my friend,
I'm afraid not.
Twisted face-off against the ones I love,
guess I'll compete to win,
and disappear within,
my..
My memories,
they burden me,
I've tried,
to erase everything.
My identity,
it burdens me,
I've tried,
to forget everything.
Cycles and spheres,
keep us spinning here.
Erosions of who we wanted to be.
It burdens me..

Lord of Vanity
04:36
|

|
Lord of vanity,
shine your artificial light on me.
How will I ever live as a common man?
In a world so rich in a world so grand.
Perverse dreams of the king I'd be,
If you could get these souls to worship me.
Lord of vanity,
shine your artificial light on me.
Lord of vanity,
shine your artificial light on me.
I will sing another hopeless song,
while I feed on the war that goes on and on,
a coward I would gladly be,
if you could steal all of their praise for me.
Lord of vanity,
shine your artificial light on me.
Lord of vanity,
shine your artificial light.
Just another servant with another song,
who's been ruled by his appetites all along.
I would hate to see the image of me,
cured by faith and humility.
Lord of vanity,
shine your artificial light on me.
Lord of vanity,
shine your artificial light,
Make me famous though I haven't even done anything,
Lord of Vanity,
Lord of Vanity...

Wisdom
03:52
|

|
Unearned wisdom lies inside my head,
and I don't think I can handle this again.
Unearned knowledge lies inside my head,
and I don't think I can handle this.
Yes I know they're among us so,
yes I know by the way they make themselves known.
Yes I know they're among us so,
yes I know by the way they make themselves known,
themselves known..
Wisdom, my,
Wisdom, my,
Wisdom, my,
Lies inside.
Unearned wisdom lies inside my head,
and I don't think I can handle this again.
Lies inside.

Tornado II

Tornado in my head,
tornado in my soul,
why does it have to be this way?
Oh Lord
Tornado in my heart
twisting all around,
I'm dying here,
I'm dying here.
And they're saying that I am crazy again.
Why must I speak this way?
Why make a mind to be,
invalid, invalid?
Why make me consumed with,
this attraction, this attraction to you?
Tornado in my head,
twisting all around.
Oh Lord.
Override my mind,
override my heart,
override my mind,
override, override,
my soul.
Tornado in my heart,
twisting all around,
Oh Lord..
Right desires right on cue,
a soul for me and a soul for you.
Pure attraction brings me to,
the all in me that wants all of you.
Full creation comes in view,
as all of me serves all of you.
as all of me serves all of you.
as all of me serves all of you.
And now I see,
and now I see,
and now I see who I am.

See You Then
04:58

|
She told me she would get me there,
into my eyes she stared,
she said you know I care,
she said she'd get me there.
She said she'd show the way,
she said she knew that I was pure.
So I let down my shield,
and to her I did yield.
I told her I care too,
I'll trust and follow you.
Now we've found our way,
now I've found my way.
I arrived on the dark side,
I arrived on the dark side of life,
I arrived on the dark side,
I arrived.
I feel it in the air,
don't you know there's no justice here,
don't you know we all act from fear,
now you know why you had to die,
now you know we all lived a lie.
I arrived on the dark side,
I arrived on the dark side of life,
I arrived on the dark side,
I arrived.
I won't learn this wicked way,
I won't lose trust like you,
I won't give in to hate,
just know I meant every single word that I said.
I arrived on the dark side,
I arrived on the dark side of life,
I arrived on the dark side,
I arrived,
I arrived,
I've arrived..
I'll leave you with my prayer,
I'll have you in my care,
I'll work til I see you there,
I'll live and I'll see you then.
