1. The Enemy Inside (Part 1)

[Instrumental]

2. The Enemy Inside (Part 2)

Claw marks on the tanglebox
The only sign I gave a fight
And even though my heart is racing
I wonder if I'm still alive

This empty shell was once a man
Filled with hunger and drive
Wrapped up in self denial
With wounded pride where the hatred thrived

Now I find myself
On the precipice of a broken dream
Staring at the void that stares back at me
It penetrates me

Deep in myself there's a hole inside
from this shattered life
Deep in myself where the shadows fight
and eclipse the light

Hurt by the trace of an old memory
Old delusions reveal false realities
Cut from a semblance of real happiness
Falling deeper still from my humanity
Crossing the fine line to complacency
All of my hopes and dreams fall around me
It's all just so easy to give in to doubt
And the choices here could mean everything

Deep in myself there's a hole inside
from this shattered life
Deep in myself where the shadows fight
and eclipse the light
Deep in myself I can reason out
any fear or doubt
Deep in myself I can trivialize
what they feel inside now

Whatever happened to the way things used to be?
When the days of my youth were ahead of me
Somewhere along the way they lost their view of the finish
And the choices mean everything
Somewhere along the way is a place called hopefulness
That only exists in my mind

3. The Enemy Inside (Part 3)

[Instrumental]

4. The Enemy Inside (Part 4)

Don't tell me this dream is over
Because I've only just begun
Don't tell me this is all just a phase
Because I don't think my heart could stand the break
Something dark inside of me
Can turn success to misery

I'm the maker of my own demise
And I hate what I see in these eyes
But when things get too close I run and hide
And all of my hopes and dreams just die

Don't say that my time has come and gone
Because my moment has just arrived
So many people I have wronged
But I'm ready to make a deal
Something dark inside of me
Can turn success to misery

I'm the maker of my own demise
And I hate what I see in these eyes
But when things get too close I run and hide
And all of my hopes and dreams just die

5. The Enemy Inside (Part 5)

I'm the maker of my own demise

And now I find myself
On the precipice of a broken dream
Staring at the void that stares back at me
It penetrates me

Deep in myself there's a hole inside
from this shattered life
Deep in myself where the shadows fight
and eclipse the light
Deep in myself I can reason out
any fear or doubt
Deep in myself I can trivialize
what they feel inside now

6. Inflicted

Raging against the light
A rebel without a cause
A product of your life
Fueling the war inside
Fighting to gain control
A world of your design
You'll bring the whole damn thing down
As you crash and burn

There was once a time
The magic filled our minds
Ambition and the drive
Eclipsed the pitfalls of our lives
But now you're on your own
You're reaching out your flailing hand
Trying to gain connection
But you left us all behind

I can feel us fading
I'm left cold and jaded
I can't stop this feeling
War control in my mind

Everything you had
Everything you craved
Is slipping through your hands
A failing power play

I will not forget
All the fear and all the hate
I will not forgive
The pain that you inflicted
I will not submit
And be the one you subjugate
I will not forgive
The pain that you inflicted

I can feel us fading
I'm left cold and jaded
I can't stop this feeling
War control in my mind

7. Disillusion

Darkness is falling
The well's run dry
The fat cats are fleeing
All the mess behind
Utopian vision
Where sense was denied
Dystopian legacy
The folly of their pride

Led like sheep to the slaughter
They flock now with eyes wide open
Drawn like a moth to the flame
Who happily waits to get burned

Deepen the need
The sheep will follow you
Deepen the need
Preach to the masses
Deepen the need
Create dividing lines
Deepen the need
Now you rule them too

Break down the lines
And see the signs
To see the coming
Of the day
To testify
This way of life
With open heart
And open mind

Dogs on the run from the master
Nurtured under sheltered skies
Fat from the rules of deception
Depicted as free enterprise

I will try to make my way
Through this constant disillusion
I will try to find my place
In this constant evolution
I will swallow my pride
And live my life
To make my hopes and dreams
Come true

8. Edge Of Discovery

Am I everything that you wanted me to be?
I am everything that you filtered into me
I kept everything harbored deep inside of me
I lost everything of my humanity

Holding on to the part of me that's left in me
Holding on to the shred of empathy that lays inside of me

I am walking the line
I can't contain the rage inside of me that's breaking
And I won't deny
The hate I feel for all the happiness you have

All the paths in life that you could have taken
And fate smiled down on me and led you to my door
And though your sacrifice would serve to be my first
I could not shake the thrill of taking

One moment to slip inside your skin
And watch the flicker in your eyes grow dim
One moment to take away your pain
And I can go on with the day

Holding on to the part of me that's left in me
Holding on to the shred of empathy that lays inside of me

I am walking the line
I can't contain the rage inside of me that's breaking
And I won't deny
I'm on the road to the edge of discovery

Holding on to the part of me that's left in me
Holding on to the shred of empathy that lays inside of me

I am walking the line
I can't contain the rage inside of me that's breaking
And I won't deny
The hate I feel for all the happiness you have

I am walking the line
I can't contain the rage inside of me that's breaking
And I won't deny
I'm on the road to the edge of discovery

9. Trial And Tragedy

[I. Euthanasia]

My dilemma stands
The pieces of the puzzle don't fit
And I find myself alone
My body's compromised on this
Just one more statistic
My mind is waging war
But I'm losing everyday

This fashioned lie
"You can live a long life"
Is served up cold
Leaves me empty and old
I remember when
The two of us were one
But you left me
A very long time ago

With the barrel to my head
Enlightened state of mind
To pull the trigger now
Would wash away this life
To go a coward's way
Is not the way for me
Keeping in my pain
And living life for you

This charmed life I lead
Has finally found its end
The love we shared
Took a lifetime to build
And as days go by
You'll forget my name
You be the phantom
And I'll wither away

Searching for answers
To the questions we find
Caging the abstracts we define
I'm still stuck here
Making sense of this senseless useless
Trapped by the limits of my mind

[II. The Genius of Man]

On the other side
This genius turned to madman
Sings a song of dementia
With moments of lucidity

Wrapped in his world
Of formulas, equations
Solving the mysteries of life
Faltering reasons of insanity

Once he held greatness in the palm of his hand
Once he was famous beyond other man
Once he touched heaven, intellect he defied
Once felt elation at wonders he could find

And through his life the pain of stress kept on building
The voices that would not subside
So it came as no surprise after all this
That his mind would choose to fly
So far from where we've come to where we going
So far yet so alone
I remember when the two of us were one
But he left so long ago...

[III. Altruism]

Feeling small and alone
When you're right here next to me
Cause the distance between us
Is stretching into forever
Head is in the zone
Or is it all overblown?
Like some spoiled child who wants it all
Who needs it all

Is it my right to feel this way?
Why can't I see through this haze?
This is the part I have to play
But tonight I'm in a daze
I'm in a daze

I'll suppress the urge to scream
And withdraw into myself
I will spare you all my demons
As I quietly waste away
To slowly watch you fade
Can't help but break my heart
But the fact that I lay dying
Won't register at all, won't register at all

Is it my right to feel this way?
Why can't I see through this haze?
This is the part I have to play
But tonight I'm in a daze,
I'm in a daze

45 years until death do we part
I will take your pain and make it my own
But I'll fear the day that you look in my eyes
And see a face that you hardly recognize
So feel free to fly to your heart's content
But know that I will always hold on
But don't you resent my reluctance
To follow in your footsteps

[IV. The Great Equalizer]

Losing out
To the part of me that's taking me
Losing out
On the shred of empathy that lays inside of me

I am walking the line
I can't contain the rage inside of me that's breaking
And I won't deny
I'm on the road to the edge of discovery

I will take away your pain
All your numbness and your rage
I will sever all your bonds
Release you of your chains
I will cut out all the black
With the scissors in your drawer
I will take away your voice
As I take away your life

What once was two is now one
All alone in his insanity
What once was two is now gone
But he left this place so long ago
All the guilt and all the pain
Is slowly washed away in blood
When the roles have all been played
The stage is set for the final curtain call...

Searching for answers
To the questions that we find
Caging the abstracts we define within our minds
I'm still stuck here
Making sense of all this senseless useless
Trapped by the limits of my mind
So far from where we've come to where we are going
So far yet so far alone
I remember when the two of us were one
But he left so long ago...
