1. The Renewal

[Instrumental]

2. Relentless

Here's to your interrogation of the way we choose to be.
And here's to my examination of your false prophet heresy.
The work of idle minds. Those who claim no mistakes.
Will of the anti-Christ. Driving the mutiny.
So many souls truly worth saving.
As they're moved aside they know what you're fearing.
You alone push them away.
They become a waste of time as you segregate them.
So afraid to fall.
With a closed mind and your set ways, won't waste your energy.
You alone push them away, they don't believe the same.
They must be evil? Oh, God! It's getting dark.
We've lost light, so hard to see.

3. The Dawning Age

As we bow to soverignity, I'm feeling programmed by your....
Carry me away. Take me away from here.
My head has got the best of me again.
But now I'm finding, damn your lying.
This charade has got to end.
Through organized deception, we become investments.
As an attempt to commercialize pain.
Have we no shame? As we bow to sovereignity.
Flesh and bone machines worked their way in me.
This competition, forced opinion takes its toll on me.
The dawning age of dehumanization.
As we bow to sovereignity, I'm feeling programmed tuned by your lies.
Swallow the light, lies it feels warm inside.
Through organized deception, we've become investments.
There's no moving me. Right here is where I'll be.
It's gonna take more than words to get a rise from me.
There's no moving me. Swallow the light. Lies. It feels warm inside.
Swallow the light. Lies. They mudered the mind.
Murdering minds. Lies....... it feels warm inside.
Plastic silicone goddess. International tele-violence.
Neurological battering offense. Mutilation of the conscience.
The only reception clear to me, is this longing for eternity.

4. Dolores

Please spare me.
How long do we have to hear you speak?
It's always the same, your self-centered game.
It means nothing to this short existence.
So play your game.
We're still here when you realize it's a waste.
Lady Magdalene teach me compassion.
For an imperfect race.
We're not gonna sit back as silent victims
To their wicked ways.
Lady Magdalene teach me patience.
To bite my tongue and not say what I'm moved to say.
Try not to decimate but merely tolerate.
Give me the strength it takes to walk away.
Here we go again. I can see your lips.... move.
But I can hear no words.
What are you trying to prove?
It means nothing to a short existence.
So play your game and we'll always be here.
When you realize it's a waste.
I'm walking. Now I'm walking away.

5. The Years To Come

Look into this heart the only part of me that's still in tact
From hates supremacy moment for moment, I breathe life
It tastes so bitter sweet the child's face staring back at me
What will she grow to be?
There's no debating we consume more than we create
Though love is never ending, all we have and hope for lies in what's ahead
We could walk a million miles
We could search but we will never find,
It's in the years to come
We're walking the fine line, we can search but we won't find
It's in the years to come
Look at this heart the only part of me that's still in tact
The loves instilled in me
Another sunrise it begins a new day shows its face
The child's name is on my soul engraved means more than everything
Unpredictability, overthrown those moments of beauty
Keeps hope and love alive
All we have and hope for lies in what's ahead
When this man is old and gray with a chance to look back on it all
He did all he can, ready to take the fall
And if the sun sets as promised, we'll come to accept that we are
The little love that's left inside us, we are
If that sun never sets, no time for regrets, never sets

6. Grave

Where is the man who came around?
I pulled him down, I pulled him down
Where is the man who drank then drowned?
I pulled him down, I pulled him down, I pulled him down
Drown with me, drown with me
The times of change are here my friend
There's no before they've always been, but counting down the days till end
We're feeling low we can't let go
Where is the man who came around?
I pulled him down, I pulled him down
Where is the man who drank then drowned?
I pulled him down, I pulled him down, I pulled him down
Drown with me, drown with me
I can't unbleed my angel

7. Predisposed

In a world that preys on weakness and feeds on self esteem
We'll eat you alive
We will destroy the wall that separates these things that keep you lying awake
Watching you fade, you slowly slip away
Why do you hesitate?
Dark days they always go, know nothing is truly what it seems
So why are you fueling the flame of your self-hatred
Aim your hate at me the end of you predisposition
Relive one time and forget your past is no part of your future
See that there's nothing but to fear
In attempting to control what can't be controlled
Seek the key that is freedom, embrace life
My hands are tied but I won't watch you
Fall farther and farther from the line you know too well
I never could stand to see you down
I never could
They will eat you alive
We will destroy the wall the separates these things that keep you lying awake
Watching you fade, you slowly slip away
You slip away the end of your predisposition
Relive one time and forget the past is no part of your future
Don't waste time, forget
Find your strength, find strength in faith

8. Glass Half Nothing

Can you still be moved by song or are you too far gone?
It's all there but I refuse to believe the negativity will tear away you life
Unanswered questions continue clogging sight they'll never cease
They'll chew you up, they'll spit you out, leave you for dead
Cuts more than skin deep, shadows have been cast on us
Lifeless and barely breathing, something is around us spreading like disease
So will you fight the feeling?
But words won't make you understand
The good of everything, won't wait for you to bend, start again
It's far beyond me, where pessimists find pride
But above all things, but above all things
That words cannot express, cannot express
The greatest gift we bear, the ability to change

9. What Goes Around

You can't miss the weakness in your eyes
A train of thought uncompromising
Seeking a life of perfection
Crushing all those in your way
You think you deserve every little thing you are craving
Give it up you will never have it
You can't miss the weakness in your eyes
A train of thought uncompromising
And when you lay your head down at night
How does sleep ever find you?
You've underminded all those that paved your way
Trying so hard to be everything, you don't even know yourself
How can you live with yourself?
You don't even know yourself
Now nothing is all you have left
I wish we could've made you see
That you don't have to change to please
One day you'll regret this
A familiar face, now no longer exists made your bed sleep

10. Novocain For No Reason

[Instrumental]

11. Second Hand Syndrome

A blank share says it all never mind my unsteady hand
Are we really nothing more than the walking decay?
Do we have to live this way?
Time's knife pressed against our veins
There's no turning away, the fragility of humanity
Never could quite understand
The importance of pretty things it's killing me
Unavoidable tragety finally it's here and now we remember only good times
Everything I am has come from sound
Please memory don't fail me
Last day of the rest of our lives
Last chance to make things right
And now I know
Our eyes aren't all that see
Each day that we wake up
We struggle to feel alive
Living under the knife
I hold close those dear to me

12. In Too Deep

With all the choises we must make
I can't see where we went astray
And if the truth is to much to hear
I'm just a mere satellite away
Just tell me everything
Although you may not see me
Please just know I'm still wondering where you are
Things may never be the same, but I still breathe
Please just trust me, I've been down this road before
You know it's funny how time flies
I've lost track of the days
Remember all the times?
We thought we owned the world
Once again I'm in too deep
So come and walk with me, I wanna hear your demons speak
Come sit down with me, I wanna see the scars they leave
So some come and walk with me, I wanna hear your demons
