CITY IN THE SEA LYRICS

1. Buried

When all the world is pleading for something,
Then we'll know we have been buried in nothing all this time

2. The Long Lost

I've started to ask so many questions in a world
With so few answers.
What can truly change the thought of man
When denial of love has become greater than love itself?
The triumph of hate seems to be the only
Thing keeping us awake.
Open your eyes.
We are the long lost.
The thought of running blind brings no deliverance to me.
Shackles and chains hold us down as one by one,
The long lost find comfort in this security.
It seems like I'm alone, but I feel so alive.
Why do I do this to myself?
Oh God, why do I do this to myself?
With empty hands I'll show I'm ready to begin again,
This new life where the victim is not myself.
Con! The thought of knowing I have found something
With meaning gives me strength to walk away
From the long lost, and set these shackles and chains free.
I've learned in life to never let a single failure
Ever get the best of me. Even when your world falls apart,
For us, this will just be the start.

3. Pages

This is a page of the story that we're left to write upon.
It's become our choice if we should tear out
The one's that don't belong.
It seems like we're afraid to even begin,
But I won't let this story go unread.
So lets show the world what we can become
If we take what we've seen and turn this all around.
But they thicken the plot for everyone to see that
We feed off the lies, the hatred, and the greed.
I never even thought of this happening.
That we feed off lies, hatred, and greed.
But it's become an unfortunate reality,
That we must live and die with because
We can't justify the reasons...
Why we refuse to change ourselves.

4. Together Alone

My friend you're dying inside.
It's hard to see you slip away like this.
Why can't you understand everyone's hurting.
I know this life is overwhelming.
But that's no excuse to give up on everything you've started
Make a stand and make a change.
Lead yourself in the right direction.
We can't live like this any longer,
We must keep our heads above the water.
Clear the demons out of your head.
They'll never go away, but you can fight the battle.
This world is so conforming, don't fall under it's spell
You'll soon realize this is the wrong path.
Show your new footprints to a generation in need.
This is a time of despair which you must choose,
To struggle together, or all alone.

5. My Inner Depths

These are things that tear me apart.
These are the things that keep me up at night.
I don't want to live another moment like this.
Close my eyes and breathe in this air.
Realize the fear's taken over me.
Regret is lightning striking me to the ground.
Why do I still stay underneath the mess I've made?
I'm going nowhere, achieving nothing.
Holding back is my inward convulsion.
My heart falls away as my structure is shattered,
And my eyes fixate on the pieces fallen to the ground.
I tell myself I need to put myself back to where I belong.
These are things that tear me apart.
These are the things that keep me up at night.
I don't want to live another moment like this.

6. Eyes Of Dust

I'll walk in the wake of war with these weary eyes
Only to find that a line drawn in your mind is better
Than drawn with your hands.
Your empty actions, empty words don't mean a thing.
Your lies won't keep me from breathing.
There's no stopping me.
Your lies won't keep me from breathing.
You try over and over, scream at me in my face,
Yet nothing is changing.
Can't you see this won't change.
Can't you see this will never change.
Did you forget who I am?
Your eyes of dust won't deceive me, as this is the end reign
This is the end of your reign, I promise.

7. Unfound

Hold your words for when you must use them.
Choose a side before it can choose you
Or obey the rules of humanity
And diminish with your indiscretion.
Greatness and pride is one step below the rest.
Boast yourself until there's no breaths left and
There's no room left to give.
So was it worth it?
To build your life up to nothing.
Was it worth it to build your life up to nothing?
To reach the highest peak for the greatest fall.
Your accomplishments, your enslavement of virtue built
By the greed of man and machine.
And as they walk hand in hand down an aisle of fire,
The flames grow higher as all the life that we know expires
Now all I know is wearing thin and
I need something so much more,
So I can finally find my way back home.
