DISTANCE

DIFFERENT
EXPECTATIONS
MOTIVES CLEAR
LOST IN
TRANSLATION
KNOWING WHAT
YOU WANT
OTHERS
SOMETIMES NOT
EMBRACING
ISOLATION
WITHOUT FEAR
OF DESOLATION
CLOSENESS
WITHOUT TOUCH
FOR SOME IT'S
NOT ENOUGH

EXIT

IN THE SANDS OF TIME
ANOTHER MOMENT'S PASSED
ONE MORE FADED IMAGE
THAT COULD NEVER LAST
A GLIMMER OF EUPHORIA
I COULD NEVER GRASP
PAIN AND DISILLUSION
IS ALL THAT I AMASS
LOST AND LEFT BEHIND
ANOTHER CHAPTER ENDS
AS I KEEP MOVING FORWARD
I WONDER HOW IT
COULD HAVE BEEN
LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE
WITH A PAST I CAN'T TRANCEND
REGRET HAS TAKEN HOLD
INTO DARKNESS I DESCEND

DELUSION

YOUR TWISTED
VIEW OF REALITY
HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH WHAT I SEE
DISTORTED OPINIONS
AND BELIEFS
YOU'VE LOST ALL
RATIONALITY
CONFUSION REIGNS
INSIDE YOUR HEAD
INTERPETATIONS
CONSTANTLY MISREAD
IGNORE THE TRUTH
REMAIN MISLED
LIVE IN DENIAL
UNTIL THERE'S
NOTHING LEFT

FADE

FADING EMOTION
TEMPORARY DEVOTION
CONNECTIONS
LOST AND GAINED
ALWAYS IN MOTION
EMPTY PROCLAMATIONS
UNREAL EXPECTATIONS
FALSE INFATUATIONS
SURRENDERING
TO TEMPTATION
CONDITIONAL DEDICATION
FLEETING FASCINATION
MOTIVATED BY DESPERATION
AND FEAR OF ISOLATION

EAST OF EDEN

IN BLOOD
IN NAME
NO CONNECTION
HAS BEEN MADE
A DISTANCE
STILL REMAINS
WE ARE NOT
THE SAME
A PATRIARCH
IN VAIN
I'M LEFT WITH
THE MARK OF CAIN
THERE'S NO REASON
TO PLACE BLAME
SINCE NOTHING
WILL EVER CHANGE

OPPOSITION

BEAUTY AND DECAY
BRUTALITY AND GRACE
EUPHORIA AND PAIN
CONSCIOUSNESS INSANE
CALM AND DISARRAY
CIVILITY UNTAMED
LOYALTY BETRAYED
HUMILITY IN VAIN
CHAOTIC AND SEDATE
FREE FROM ALL RESTRAINT
DEVOTION LEADS TO HATE
NO ONE CAN RELATE

PAWN

CULTURE OF THE WEAK
SO EASILY DECIEVED
ANOTHER OATH BETRAYED
MANIPULATED BY GREED
A SYSTEM CONCIEVED
CONTROLLED BY THE ELITE
AS WE LIE IN DISARRAY
WE'RE TOLD WHAT TO BELIEVE
RELYING ON APATHY
SO COMPLETE
THEY PROFIT FROM DECAY
AS THEY PREY UPON THE MEEK

EXPRESSION

I HAVE GONE TOO FAR
THERE IS NO TURNING BACK
I'VE CROSSED THE LINE AGAIN
TOO MUCH HAS BEEN SAID
TO BE TAKEN BACK
I HAVE DONE ALL THAT I CAN
I HAVE REVEALED TOO MUCH
FOR SOME IT'S NEVER ENOUGH
MAYBE THE DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT COMES FROM INSIDE
I CAN NO LONGER HIDE
REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY DEMAND

STATIC

GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS
ALL OF THE DAYS NOW SEEM THE SAME
REPETITIVE DEVOTION
AVOIDING ANY RISK OF CHANGE
FEAR OF DISAPOINTMENT
HAS ME LOCKED UP IN CHAINS
HELD BACK BY INDECISION
I ONLY HAVE MY SELF TO BLAME
LACK OF MOTIVATION
ONLY ADDS FUEL TO THE FIRE
A SENSE OF APPREHENSION
KEEPS ME FROM WHAT I DESIRE
A LIFE OF PROCRASTINATION
IS TO WHAT I KNOW ASPIRE
TRAPPED IN ISOLATION
WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO TRANSPIRE

BELIEVER

CAST ASIDE
SEARCHING FOR MEANING
A PURPOSE TO LIFE
SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN
NEVER FIT THE MOLD
DRAWN TO THE EXTREME
ANOTHER LOST SOUL
OUTSIDE THE MAINSTREAM
NOBLE CRUSADER
FIGHTING FOR THE CAUSE
YOU HAVE FOUND THE TRUE PATH
YOU ARE NO LONGER LOST
THEY HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS
IN BLACK AND WHITE LAWS
NOW YOU FINALLY FIT IN
BUT AT WHAT COST

RUIN

I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING
IT HAPPENS TIME AND TIME AGAIN
MY EMOTIONS GET THE BEST OF ME
NOW I AM BACK WHERE I BEGAN
I KEEP ON WALKING THROUGH THE FIRE
SOMEHOW I NEVER SEEM TO LEARN
A SLAVE TO DISAPOINTMENT
I ALWAYS END UP GETTING BURNED
SPURED ON BY LONELINESS AND DESIRE
THE CYCLE NEVER SEEMS TO END
ON A ROAD THAT NEVER TIRES
ANOTHER DECISION I CAN'T DEFEND

SPIRAL

EACH PASSING DAY
TEARS AWAY AT MY SOUL
A LOSS OF WILL IS
GAINING CONTROL
THE ENDLESS GRIND KEEPS
TAKING IT'S TOLL
I'M FALLING DEEPER
INTO A HOLE
DISCONNECTED IN
SO MANY WAYS
AN OUTCAST OF A SOCIETY
I WAS TAUGHT TO OBEY
IS SUFFERING IN SILENCE
THE PRICE I MUST PAY
FORCED TO GO ON
LIVING DAY AFTER DAY

SLIP AWAY

REACHING OUT FOR SOMETHING
JUST BEYOND MY GRASP
ANOTHER FLEETING MOMENT
I KNOW I'VE MISSED MY CHANCE
AGAIN I'VE COME SO CLOSE
THE OPPORTUNITY HAS PASSED
ONE MORE DISAPOINTMENT
IT WON'T BE THE LAST

FAITH

A FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION
YOUR WHOLE LIFE CONDITIONED TO BELIEVE
IGNORING THE FACTS FOR FALSE PROMISES AND LIES
NOW YOU ARE TOO BLIND TO SEE
YOU NEVER QUESTIONED WHAT YOU WERE TAUGHT
JUST FOLLOWED ALONG LIKE THE OTHER SHEEP
YOU BELIEVED IN THE FANTASY FOR SO LONG
NOW YOU ARE PUSHING IT ON ME

SEASONS

THE DAYS ARE
PASSING ME BY
TIME KEEPS
TICKING AWAY
I TRY TO HOLD ON
TO THE PAST
BUT THE MEMORIES
STILL FADE
THE YEARS ARE
GETTING SHORTER
SEASONS
ALWAYS CHANGE
MOMENTS ARE
FORGOTTEN
NOTHING STAYS
THE SAME
LIFE IS
FADING FAST
WHAT IS THERE
LEFT TO GAIN
I TRY TO SEARCH
FOR MEANING
KNOWING NOTHING
WILL REMAIN
