1. Fourthirtytwo (Intro)

2. Blood Brothers

Born and raised side by side
Been closer than close our whole lives
We share the same blood, same mother and mind
But ended up so different, you and I

You was always a brother to me
Helped me out in times of need
I would anchor down
And weather the storms
You would stand and fight to protect us
This you had sworn

Taste the blood of your brothers
Draw blood
If you fell down we would fall together
Like a sinking ship in stormy weather
You’re the bones to our flesh and skin
But now that you’re gone
It’s time to rethink without you
Home is fractured and broken
I’m still hoping for your safe return
But you never looked back since you
Took your first steps
And mother still grieves over that
Day you left, that day you left
And mother still grieves, still grieves
That day you left

Draw blood
Eliminate the weak
You stray down the wrong path at night
Trying to fight your own way in life
Beaten black and blue from
The eternal flight
Side by side, you know
Everything will be alright With you by my side
Everything will be alright

Taste the blood of your brothers
Born and raised side by side
Been closer than close our whole lives
We share the same blood, same mother and mind
But ended up so different, you and I

You was always a brother to me
Helped me out in times of need
Raised me up for when you were gone
Taught me to take no shit from anyone

You was always a brother to me
Helped me out in times of need
Raised me up for when you were gone
Taught me to take no shit from anyone.

3. High Horse

Get off your high horse and bow before me!
Silver stairs to a castle so high, that from the tallest tower you could touch the
sky
On an island in an endless sea of sun
The devil dances on the horizon
With your head in the clouds, I guess it’s hard to hear the sound of a dying world
Where pure evil courses through its veins
We’re just a stain in your beautiful creation
The poison to your apple
We picked all those years ago
We are the poison!
You’re just a snake in the grass
That always seems to slither right through the cracks unscathed
But you have no one to save you now
I am filled with rage!
I am filled with hate…
Your way with words is your only asset
Wormed your way into every aspect of my life
What makes you think I’d give up without a fight?
Get off your high horse and bow before me
Silver stairs to a castle so high, that from the tallest tower you could touch the
sky (pretend to fly)
On an island in an endless sea of sun
The devil dances on the horizon

4. Vultures And Sharks

They came to conquer, all they wanted was to watch us suffer. Should of known what doesn’t kill me, only makes us stronger.

Some say we brought this upon ourselves. Overlooked the cracks. Never heard the cries for help. I have no one to blame but myself.
Whispers in the wind, shared all our sins and secrets. They came to conquer, (They Came to conquer) Not for glory or a hero’s return all they want is to watch us crash and burn.

Vultures above and sharks below are waiting for us to fall. In hope that they’ll catch you and ruin it all. Circling us from head to toe. We’re swimming in the shallows arguing to and fro There’s bad blood in the air. This killer instincts the only thing we’ll ever share.
We are the creators of our own demise. They took to the sea’s. They took to the skies. Only had eyes for my prize possessions Turned all my confessions into lies.

All they want is to watch us crash and burn.
This is what it feels like to be in the jaws of defeat. One thousand teeth. Slowly sinking in.

Vultures above and sharks below are waiting for us to fall. In hope that they’ll catch you and ruin it all. Circling us from head to toe. We’re swimming in the shallows arguing to and fro. There’s bad blood in the air. This killer instincts the only thing we’ll ever share.
They came to conquer, all they wanted was to watch us suffer. Should of known what doesn’t kill me, only makes us stronger.

5. Downsides

Life’s not as bad as you make it out to be
Reach out… the world is at your feet
You can’t dwell on your feelings, in a city that never sleeps
Stop dreaming
Start believing in yourself
Wake the fuck up, break through the walls
Drop your fears
Control was never lost, it’s always been here
I’m walking on thin lines of broken glass every night
You have no idea, you have no idea…about all the fucked up shit that runs through my mind
Keep your head up son and look on the bright side
Stop weighing up the downsides of life and you’ll be just fine
You’ll be just fine
In this concrete jungle, you’ve got to fight to stay alive
Burn bridges in order to survive
Opportunity is your only ally, shut your mouth it’s your only alibi
But the worst part about this is I can’t fully describe it
These problems and issues - are not mine
I can’t help you, it’s up to you
Stop dreaming, start believing
Show no weakness and hide your feelings
I’m walking on thin lines of broken glass every night
You have no idea, you have no idea…about all the fucked up shit that runs through my mind
Keep your head up son and look on the bright side
Stop weighing up the downsides of life and you’ll be just fine.
You’ll be just fine

6. Floorboards

Asking so many questions
Finding so little answers
My friends told me to give up the ghost
and move on
But I don't like to take my chances
to take my chances

Pick me up off the floorboards
I'm not dead and burried yet
They always seem to creak
When I needed someone to speak to
They've been the only thing I've talked to in weeks
Where were you
Where were you?

Stitch me up and make me new
I need someone to pull me through
Endless nights with open wounds
I've been to hell and back because of you

Why tell me I need to change?
When you woke up in someone else's bed
Without even knowing their name
I may have crossed the line
This Time!
But I sure as hell hope you have a rope for this climb
From here on out it's all a downward slope
And I'm not falling for anyone or anything
Othe than the noose you tied around my neck

I've lost all sense of space and time
Just thinking about when you were mine
The days become weeks and the weeks into months
I refuse to put on these implausible fronts
To face the world would cause me to self destruct
To face the world would cause me to self destruct
The days become weeks and the weeks into months
I refuse to put on these implausible fronts
To face the world would cause me to self destruct
To face the world

Pick me up off the floorboards
I'm not dead and burried yet
They always seem to creak
When I needed someone to speak to
They've been the only thing I've talked to in weeks
Where were you
Where were you?

Picke me up (Up!) off the floorboards
I'm not dead and buried yet
So pick me up (Up!) off the floorboards
I'm not dead and buried yet!

7. Linger

You was always trying to make us into something we could never be,
So you may as well erase me.
Best kept memories, worthless apologies.
Inseparable, now you won’t even acknowledge me.
You were all that I had; you were all that I had.
We would run between the lines and I would chase you every single time.
Painting by numbers, how hard could it be?
Stole all the water colours from our dreams.
Told me our future was all just make-believe.
Ripped me open for my friends to see, destroyed my world and made me bleed.
Lost the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.
You took my heart and painted it black, looking on the bright side is something
I lack.
You were all that I had.
I lie in my room pulling out my own hair.
It gives me something to do, but doesn’t get me anywhere.
Not even time can repair the space the you left here in my chest.
You linger in the air.
So fuck the facts, you knew all along we’d never last.
You were all that I had, you were all that I had.
We would run between the lines and I would chase you every single time.
Painting by numbers, how hard could it be?
Stole all the water colours from our dreams.
I lie in my room pulling out my own hair.
It gives me something to do, but doesn’t get me anywhere.
Not even time can repair the space the you left here in my chest.
You linger in the air.
I used to think you was beautiful.
But now you’re just bland and I’m so cynical.
Your colours faded away unlike my feelings for you.

8. Equinox (Interlude)

9. Part Of Something

I have never felt like I’ve been part of something.
Community is a lost cause.
I need to be where I once was,
Not with the people I want but the ones that I trusted.
This is a toast, to make amends to all our friends who were there from the start.
Apologies we had to leave, we thank you with open arms.
You made us who we are.
We’ll drink to this, through thick and thin.
Lost in desire.
Misdirected but never inspired.
Even though we are miles apart, you kept us close, held to your hearts.
Through these years we’ll drift afar.
My head will always be back at the start.
You kept us close, held to your hearts.
We’ve come so far, to look back now.
We will never leave you behind.
We’ll always find a way.
We’ll always find a way.
I can see through you with the eyes of a snake.
With good intentions I’ve learnt once, I’ll learn twice.
The open road is not my only home.
This is a toast, to make amends to all our friends who were there from the start.
Apologies we had to leave, we thank you with open arms.
Lost in desire,
Misdirected but never inspired.
Even though we are miles apart, you kept us close, held to your hearts.
Through these years we’ll drift afar.
My head will always be back at the start.
This is what you call a real friendship.
This is what you call a real friendship.
This is what you call a real friendship.

10. Over The Edge

Conjured from the very thing I despise.
Like a cancer it grows inside.
You always had the god damn wit.
With just a flick of the wrist, to pop the button and push her buttons and send her over the edge.
I’ll remember this to the end.
You and your god damn wit pushed her over the edge.
Contagious in every light, and I can’t stand the sight of myself.
Living this life in skin I’m not worthy to wear.
As memories fade, I can feel myself beginning to change.
Even in my sleep there’s no escaping.
Voices plot and plunder, they’re saturating my mind with words of wisdom.
That destroy the world which I once called my kingdom.
With just a flick of the wrist.
You went and pushed her over the edge.
You and your god damn wit.
I’ll remember this to the end.
You and your god damn wit, pushed her over the edge.

11. Entity

Everything changed that day I saw the great white light and passed through to the other side.
In a moment of madness when time stood still, all that was wrong, felt perfectly fine.
I was never the saint, more like a sinner.
But I knew my rights from all my wrongs.
That living for the sake of loving, was where my heart always belonged.
You’ll always have a place in my heart, even after death pulls us apart.
I am the ghost that haunts this place.
The cold that always touches your face.
The thought that sends her weak at the knees.
I sing the songs that get lost in the breeze.
I am the ghost that haunts this place.
The cold that always touches your face.
The thought that sends her weak at the knees.
I sing the songs that get lost in the breeze.
I am the entity.
Oh what I do to let you see me smiling down at you.
I’ll be the light to guide you from harm’s way and fight to keep your demons at bay.
If you need me, just pray.
I am the ghost that haunts this place.
The cold that always touches your face.
The thought that sends her weak at the knees.
I sing the songs that get lost in the breeze.
You’ll always have a place in my heart, even after death pulls us apart.
I am the entity.

12. Lost Isles

I left behind streets paved with gold, to live a life in the dirt and the undergrowth.
I cut all ties, severed myself from what they called “the real life”.
Carved my path through stone, where am I now?
No one knows.
With new lungs to breathe and fresh eyes to see.
I pity those too weak to not break free.
Living their life on old ideologies, that have been passed down for centuries.
Run free and see what you want to see.
Get lost along the way…Break free.
Forever searching for an open door.
All I’ve known my whole life is how to run.
Through distant lands and foreign shores.
To escape has been my only thought.
Raised by wolves into the wild.
I am a son of the lost isles.
Raised by wolves into the wild.
I am a son of the lost isles.
No rules, or religions.
Just a free world and my own decisions.
I’ve never been home…
I don’t belong anywhere.
I guess I’m homeless because home is where the heart is and I’ve never been home.
Forever searching for an open door. All I’ve known my whole life is how to run.
Through distant lands and foreign shores.
To escape has been my only thought.
Raised by wolves into the wild.
I am a son of the lost isles.

13. Mirage

Everything... reminds me of you.
So much so, that there’s nothing I can do - to escape, but shout your name.
These echoes are the only thing that keeps me sane (that keeps me sane).
I’m trying my hardest to forget.
Not to let your face, mirage inside my head…
Smile’s come few and far between…these days.
I can overcome this, but the numbness, I’ve endured for so long.
It’s hard to break the mould.
I can barely keep my head above the waves; cus’ this hurt, it never fades.
It never fades!
I’ve endured this - for so long.
This pain - never fades.
A kaleidoscope of emotions, that changes with the wind.
When will I be free again?
This pain it never fades…
What more, do you ask of me?
I bear the scars and a broken heart on my sleeve, that’s so heavy I cannot breathe.
So I beg you and I plea.
Just let me go, just set me free - because the pain it never fades.
