THE OVERSEER LYRICS

1. Secrets

Withering from the seam.
I'm hanging by a thread, I fear I've done something wrong.
Fearing there's no turning back, I must be the accomplice.
Questions fill my mind.
Forgive us.
Forgive me.
Paranoid everyone knows what I have locked behind these doors.
My heart is sinking.
The world is closing in on me.
They watch me choke on lies.
Running scared I feel sick again.
Everyone, all we've done, come clean.
I am the liar. I am the cheat.
I am the secret you want to keep.
I am so ashamed, and I can't escape this.
It's eating me alive, and I can't escape these secrets are my prison.
They watch me choke on lies.
Running scared I feel sick again.
Everyone, all we've done, come clean.

2. Dredge

Walking into a place unknown.
Weary of a life I've grown to know.
I'm looking at the faces of a generation lost and scared.
But we'd rather close our eyes and dream of a child with a bed under their skin.
We are not alone.
We won't be invisible.
Tens by ten thousands, we plead for something more.
Cry out, oh sons and daughters.
Rest your washed-out eyes.
Grace will keep you alive.
We are not alone.
We won't be invisible.
Tens by ten thousands, we plead for something more.
We search, we dig for roots of a stable home.
We search, we dig for a life better than this.
Tens by ten thousands we search, we dig for a life better than this.

3. Amend

Shaking at the knees, you promised me love until we die.
Together we breathe until death parts you from me.
Forever was the promise that we said we would keep.
This world is gray.
Are these just words that we say,
Or is there a deeper meaning?
We the kings and queens promised a life to never fall apart, proclaimed our words.
For the world to hear and the eyes to see.
This ship sails into the unknown.
I know you're out there screaming for me.
Oh bone of my bone find me in the dark.
Do our hearts feel a different cause?
Can we survive this tide?
You promised.
We promised.
In this moment I can not breathe.
We've let this define our lives.
We can conquer.
We will rise.
Oh bone of my bone find me in the dark
Love will rise over the shadows we create.
You gave your heart till death do us part.
We've lost our direction but love can show us the way back home.
We can see face to face.
We can see heart to heart.
Love bears all things.
Love can mend what feel apart.
Have we deprived ourselves of love.
Oh bone of my bone, find me in the dark.
Love will rise over the shadows we create.
You gave your heart till death do us part.

4. Dreamer

Look to the sky.
I try not to deny where we lye.
Do we have a home six feet under?
God save us all from ourselves.
It's too late, we've let you down.
Digging a hole six feet under in isolation.
Come down children of fear.
Tell me, is there something after death?
Tell me, do I still have time left?
Without life I am removed.
Sink into the grave.
Bury me.
What am I searching for?
Am I numbered with the dead?
Thoughts of darkness fill, they fill my head.
Dreamer come back to reality.
Dreamer wake up from your fear.
What if there's something I can change.
Can I see it?
My souls turning into a shadow darkened by questions of my departure.
Is there light inside the life of death we find?
What happens when I close my eyes?
Will I be eliminated in darkness?
We're unattached, eliminated in darkness.

5. Mendacious

I'm used to bring you comfort from a cold and cowardly being.
I'm exactly what you want to hear, but give it time, you will find deceit.
When the truth is too hard to face, then a liar you will be.
Just open up your mouth.
Your forked tongue will set me free.

6. Traitor

I can't sleep.
Tonight I feel so hollow.
I've been at what I do best again.
And I'm so far from home.
Don't know what I've been looking for.
The streets are cold and they've got no soul.
The city's upside down.
I'm losing my way.
Am I the person I once knew myself to be?
I've traded my faith for a taste of destruction.
I can't seem to get away from this.
I am the traitor.
You will discover.
The trees have lost their color.
Is my head right?
Am I the traitor?
I'm afraid to see what's become of me.
Just let the water rise and cleanse the city into the sea.
The city's upside down.
I'm losing my way.
Am I the person I once knew myself to be?
I've traded my faith for a taste of destruction.
I can't seem to get away from this.
We will wash away.
We will discover.

7. Vulture

Can I keep my crooked heart away from you?
But no matter how hard you try, you can't start again.
What can I do?
Shake off the burdens.
The weight of a plague wrapped around your head.
How much more the wicked and the sinner?
Lost, but we will find you.
Sinful man close your eyes.
I've been gasping for air.
For a moment I lost my sight, lost sight of heart.
How could I be such a vulture?
I'm afraid of the shadows the light brings from the dark.
You have built a kingdom of vices oh child of a hollow heart.
We have watched you live in fear.
We have watched you disappear.
Just stay alive.
We won't leave you behind.
I've been gasping for air.
For a moment I lost my sight, lost sight of my heart.
How could I be such a vulture?
I'm afraid of the shadows the light brings from the dark.
Close your eyes.
Lost, but we will find you.
Search for hope.

8. Lost

When we stand at the edge of our lives, what will we see?
A world gone mad?
I'm trembling at the thought of the end.
Have I been lead astray?
I've been searching for the better part of me, a journey they say I can't make on my own.
It's not suppose to be like this.
I am lost and broken.
Hear our cry.
Let my eyes be opened.
Can we bring hope to the broken?
Why can't we see we can't do this on our own?
We are the wretched.
What will we see when we stand at the edge of the world?
A vessel so deep?
What will we see?

9. Estrange

Take your cheap shot.
Point your finger to blame.
But you hardly know their names.
You're just a God fearing hypocrite, just another sinning saint.
Grace show us your face and bring redemption.
We've all lost sight of the call.
A dimming light with every generation, we will be the death of us all.
You look with judging eyes, but we all have so much to hide behind our masks and cheap disguises.
Grace show us your face and bring redemption.
We've all lost sight of the call.
A dimming light with every generation, we will be the death of us all.
Grace show your face.
We are callused and numb.
We are wool covered wolves and we feed on our young.
Steal a breath from a gasping lung, then use it to preach on compassion and love.
God how can You love such a beast?

10. Absolve

This anchor won't let me reach the surface.
Pulling me further into the abyss.
Can you save a weakened soul?
Can you tell me?
Tell a wretch like me to finally see.
Can you tell me how lonely I have been?
And I want to believe,
Oh I just want to believe.
I don't want to wait.
Tell me.
I'm my own worst enemy, the knife in my own back.
My mind is a tragedy, it's killing me.
But I have never seen this so clear.
No I have never seen this so clear.
I am terrorized, cut off from your sight.
Is there anyone that can save me?
Cut off from your sight in this hostile world.
I'm cut off from your sight in this hostile world.
There's a hole in my heart.
I have found a way to feel alive.
Will you help me to escape this abyss below?
I'm my own worst enemy, the knife in my own back.
My mind is a tragedy, it's killing me.
But I have never seen this so clear.
The enemy stands in the mirror.
I know You are the only one.
I know You are the only one to save me from myself.
