THE ARTIFACT LYRICS

1. Awakening

[Instrumental]

2. Regeneration

Keep believing in who we are
The pressures building
But we still stand our ground
Keeping composure as it all caves in
We won't give up on this chance to become
Everything within our minds can come to life
If we can just survive this nightmare
Will never end without a new beginning
No we will not back down
All challenges we face will fade away
Cause our time is coming
One step away from having everything fall into it's place
This battle will be won
If we can just wake up and take on
The struggles that lie within our hearts
And hold us down
Now, now is our chance, our chance to become
Everything thats in our minds
Can come to life
If we can just survive
This nightmare will surely end
With this new beginning
We will not back down
All challenges we face will fade away
Cause our time is coming
All challenges we face will fade away
Our time is coming
One step away from having everything
This battle will be won
If we can just wake up and take on
The struggles that lie within our hearts
And hold us down.

3. Coalesence

There's more than distance that I've gone
To reach this unfamiliar place
I'd like to think this is the answer

This redirection in our lives
Has come from empty promises
If only we could capture the moment

We raise our hands up towards the sky
And point to the heavens
We're hoping the stars will be aligned
We're hoping that time is on our side
We're hoping that we will survive
The battle that lies ahead
Could ruin our lives

Now I've seen the burning gates in hell
And I swear the devil showed me how
To see the evil in your eyes

With trust and faith in who we are
We'll keep on reaching for the stars
Our heads are still above the water

Something tells me we've found our home
Something tells me we're not alone

We'll fight for a reason to never give in
We'll pick up the pieces of everything
We've lost along the way
Let's fix the problem by joining hands
And becoming something so much bigger than
We were before we found the answer
Which came to us just in time
I will show you just how far this can go
Trust in me, this is not the end.

4. Requiem

Your world is made up of poison and failure
My world is made from the glory of victory
You tried to get inside my head
With every hateful word you said
You though that you could break me down
But you're out muscled
And this house we built is made for men
Now I said it before and I'll say it again
You're just a boy who never learned
When to shut your mouth
Something inside of me
Tells me I should have known
You'd be the one to let the pressure
Change who you are
You're such a victim of every choice you've made
Pointing fingers at your friends
I never thought that you could be
The one who'd turn your back on me
And do the kind of things you did
And every word that you said
I hope you know, they didn't mean that much to me
I'll just pretend that you're dead
Someone I used to know
I'll never let you get to me
Something inside of me
Tells me I should have known
You'd be the one to let the tension
Tear us apart
Yeah there's no question you will swallow your pride
Making truth out of your lies
Create that prison where you sit
And think about the things you did
To turn this friendship upside down
And every word that you said, I hope you know,
they didn't mean that much to me
I'll just pretend that you're dead
Someone I used to know
I'll never let you get to me
If you don't see that you've started
This all on your own
Then you need to think again
I hope you're happy
Cause this is the outcome
For being selfish
Now you are alone
You know you could never get inside my head
With that said, I hope I never see your face again.

5. Visualize

[Instrumental]

6. Grayscale (Pt. 1)

So let me paint this picture
That tells a story of a man who
Never gave up on who he was
I know how long I've tried to reach this mountain
Just on the other side is what I'm after
Come on, come on!
Don't you try to stop me from reaching the top
Cause I'm already half way there
Unless you think you can handle
The wrath of a man who has seen
More than most can bear...

7. Color (Pt. 2)

There's lack of air that has stopped me from breathing
I'll hold my breath till the bitter end
There's no more light as the darkness surrounds me
I'll close my eyes and trust that I find my way
This dream is becoming real
As the color brings to life
A picture that was black and white
So many sounds that I can't hear the screaming
Of every voice that is in my head
They tried to tell me there's something I'm missing
Open my eyes and see what they have to say
This dream is becoming real
As the color brings to life
A picture that was black and white
Will finally reveal so many complications
That have stood in the way of my aspirations
I can see so clearly now
I can hear them tell me to always
Paint the picture with the blood of my ambition
Keep on dreaming
Keep believing your day will come.

8. Triumph

How bad I've wanted
To feel like they do
Up in that spot light
With nothing left to prove
Some say I'm jaded
I think I've found
A way to make you move
The way I want you to
(Break through these walls, these walls that surround me)
I have questioned (Break through these walls, these walls that are closing in)
Who I am(Break through these walls, these walls that confine me)
So much time has passed (Break through these walls, these walls will be coming down)
Since I began
How long I've waited
To see what they see
A million faces
All staring back at me
I think I'll make it
I'll show you how
I want to make you move
The way I want you to
(Break through these walls, these walls that surround me)
I have questioned (Break through these walls, these walls that are closing in)
Who I am(Break through these walls, these walls that confine me)
So much time has passed (Break through these walls, these walls will be coming down)
Since I began
I think I have found a way to get to
That place where I belong
I think I will see the day when sacrifices made
Will all pay off
(Break through these walls, give them your all, Just know that you're made for this)
I have questioned, who I am
So much time has passed,
Since I began
Take a look at yourself,
And remember who you are.

9. Conception

[Instrumental]

10. Severance

You had every chance to
Show me that you cared
But you chose to let go
Because you were scared
You decided to forget how far that we've come
Now the sutures of our love has come undone
You are a runaway
There are mistakes that you've made
That must be brought to attention
You took for granted
The little things I did
To get your love and affection
Please tell me the reason
Why you closed your eyes
Cause I wanted to show you
How hard that I've tried
To keep us from reaching
This place in our life
We shared a common dream
But you turned your back on me
Letting me go
You're letting me go
So open your eyes before you leave
You may be surprised at what you see
One day you'll look back and understand
There's so much we could have done
To mend this back together
But you're a runaway
And those mistakes that you've made
They must be brought to attention
You took for granted
The little things I did
And this was your misconception
The damage is done, you runaway.

11. Manifest

Precious time what have you done to me
You've shown me what it takes
To achieve my dreams
I've held on to this flame
For the longest time
Don't you let this go
Keep holding on
There is a reason
A reason you've come so far
There's so much that could destroy you
But you just keep on
I've been waiting
For that day to come
There's one thing
That could help me to see
How much I've already done
Please keep telling me, "Look how far you've come"
Please keep helping me
Don't let me give up
Striving for something
A purpose for living
Hoping that someone can help me to stay
Fighting the failure that try's to consume me
Holding on to everything that I am
I've been waiting
For that day to come
There's one thing
That could help me to see
How much I've already done
Please keep telling me, "Look how far you've come"
Please keep helping me, Don't let me give up...
Don't let me give up.

12. Dreamer

[Instrumental]
