When we look up at the night sky
Why do we focus on the dark and not the light
When we look up at the night sky
We start to drift away from these white lights
What is it we're running away from
That we're growing older
Death's hand on our shoulder
The end
Each day, I grow older
And the nights, they grow darker
I no longer see into the distance
With a total lack of persistence
All we wanna do
Is leave this fucking nightmare
What can we do
Is there anybody out there
Who hears the walls closing in around us
Just because we're struggling
Doesn't mean we're sinking
Somebody wake me up and I'll swim towards
The lighthouse across the sea
My mind is fucking prison
Leave this fucking nightmare
All we wanna do
Is leave this fucking nightmare
What can we do
Is there anybody out there
Who hears the walls closing in around us

Unsustainable
04:33

Will the violence stop
Never it would seem
Can you hear their voices
This is not a game
Each with their own name
And still you make them run
Worlds left broken
Can't you see what we've become
Why can't we understand
The lives we're leading
We're unsustainable
We've come undone
You can't pretend to comprehend when
Your silence speaks volumes
Weak
Divided
Time's come
Put down your gun
It's always fear and tears
Can't you hear their screams
Prayers left unanswered
This is not a game
Why can't we understand
The lives we're leading
We're unsustainable
Why can't we understand
The lives we're leading
We're unsustainable
We've come undone
We've come undone

(Whoah)
(Whoah)
(Verse)
Tides shift, currents change
We keep moving through eternity
Time will waste us forever
Clock ticks, the past decays
Life goes on and then we fade away
Just a fragment of a memory
(Pre-Chorus)
Can't change the past
What's done is done
Regrets made and you can never take them back
Am I living or just surviving?
(Chorus)
Time's up in the blink of an eye
All that's left is a memory
World stops, all you know is gone away
And time will flow without you
We cease to be
We're just a memory
We close our eyes
And look into the sky
This is the choice you have made
Blegh
We fade away
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
When all you know is gone and done
Will you look back?
Will you regret the things you can't change?
Knowing you can never take them back
We fade away
We atrophy
When we decay
We can never stay
(Chorus)
(Pre-Chorus)

(Intro)
De-Evolution
Is this the progress that we crave?
Wake up and see the flames
As we burn away
(Verse)
What have we become?
What have we done?
To end up in this place
That we are just a face
This is a world we made for ourselves
(Chrous)
I'm waiting and I'm praying
To feel anything at all
That I can hold in my hands
Or I can see with my eyes
I'm watching and you're saying
The same fucking thing again
Will this ever end?
It's all pretend
(Post-Chorus)
Narcissistic tendencies
Feed our corrosive reality
Give me a sense of purpose
Something to fight for
Before I lose my mind
(Verse)
We are cold
No emotion or empathy
No heart no brain
We're thinking the same, what is this?
This is a real kind of war that we are all losing
This is the final frontier we must hold
Why can't we open our eyes?
Why can't we open our eyes and see?
(Chorus)
(Intro)
This is an imminent war
(Chorus)
Is this the end?
Is this the end?
Is this the end?
Is this the end?
This is a war you will never win
This is a war you will never win

War Within
04:21
|

(Verse)
My mind is pressed at the seams
Left to dream
Burning on and on and on
The lights won't fade out
I'm left chasing after dreams
I can't find a cure when
Restless thoughts cling to me
My mind's burden, I can hardly breathe
(Chorus)
You'll never hear my screams, don't leave
Don't turn your back on the war inside me
My thoughts are the casualties, can't breathe
Help me overcome this army
(Verse 2)
How can you pretend that I'm not here suffering
I'm not the one to blame
There's no escape
Swear I'm not going insane
Swear I'm not going insane
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I can't see, I can't see the end
This can't be real trapped inside my head
I don't expect you to understand
Is it cause I'm not good enough
Fighting a war that can't be won
But still this battle is far from
Done

Hold Me Down
03:54
|

(Verse)
I can you see you lying through your teeth when you talk to me
So shut the fuck up and admit defeat
Nothing but a leech
I'm disgusted by the fucking bull shit that you preach
This time you won't get the best of me
Cause you're tripping over every word you never said
And everything you never did
(Chorus)
Should have thought before you lied to me
You played the victim while you ripped me apart at the seams
Should have left you long ago
Now it's clear to me I am more than you'll ever know
Ever know
(Verse 2)
How does it feel to be the one who lost at their own game
Bear your cross and hold your head in shame
You're never willing to take the blame
I see you leeching and talking shit
All the while you walk with pride
But you're just a fucking parasite
Fuck your lies, fuck everything you stand for
Got no time for your bullshit anymore
So sit the fuck down and wake the fuck up cause this is where it ends
So just admit it you lost
You're a long way from the top
So just admit it you're done
You lost your way, lead me astray
So just admit it you're fucked
After all the shit I did for you
You'll never be the victim and you'll never hold me down
(Chorus)
You'll never watch me burn
You'll never watch me burn
I will never fall
Fuck you, I won't let you hold me down
Don't you try to bring me down, I'll fucking bury you
Never again will you get the best of me
(Last Chrous)
I should have known you'd never change
Eventually, you'd lose your way
I should have known you'd never change
Eventually, you'd lose your way
Fuck you, I won't let you hold me down
Fuck!

Falling
05:02

Control and self belief
Withers away
Cause I'm done
Enabling this life I lead
I've tried to rid this curse inside of me
But this sickness it'll never let me go
I tried my best it wasn't good enough
Believed in an answer but there never was
Will I ever find my way out of this place?
I've been drowning my demons
But you're giving them air
Been fighting my battles
While you're pretending to care
Is there anybody who can save me from myself?
I'm falling down into the deep
This emptiness it swallows me
Longing for peace and clarity
Now the life I knew is out of reach
And my vice is my release
I've been drowning my demons
But you're giving them air
Been fighting my battles
While you're pretending to care
And now I clearly see not once did you look out for me
Again and again you pull the strings
Distorting my grasp on reality
For too long you've denied
The man I was before this disease
I'm falling down
I've lost control
I'm falling apart
I could see this coming from the start
Barely surviving for the longest time
I'm Falling
I'm Falling Down
Vice Is my release
Fuck this Disease

Tempus Aeterna

(Verse)
When you're left alone
And no ones home
And the missions to find ambition
Is coming to close
(Chorus)
The clock on the wall
The greatest darkness of all
Ticking each day until I fall
Ticking time bomb on the wall
In the silence I forget it all
(Post-Chorus)
No matter what the destination
It seems I keep getting off at the wrong station
I still can't find the light
(Verse 2)
No matter how hard I try
I still can't seem to find the light
The value, the cost, the time
I feel I've lost my fucking mind
Reaching for the light that lies to me
I ask the question are we ever free?
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Now I hold the past dear to my chest
As the future continues to fill me with unrest
It's all lights and sounds
We're left fighting the crowd
For a moment in time
Following the white line
(Chorus)
The greatest darkness of all
I forget it all
