I remember the words you said I could never Never erase them More than an impulse That I have So much more than Anger and rage Being caught in the drama sometimes Leaves compassion constrained As the clock slows down I would wait for this to fall To the feet of your guilt again Mercy, falls from your eyes Giving truth to this Observance, I've come to realize Leads to it all I felt so empty And grew tired of pretending Turning angry As the rage breathes in me Burn pages burn Like lessons I've learned That only lead to bitterness It's getting hard to remain Detached from the pain I can turn no more from this Water rise above my head Take me away Away from this More than an impulse That I have So much more than Anger and rage Being caught in the drama sometimes Leaves compassion constrained As the clock slows down I would wait for this to fall To the feet of your guilt again Mercy, falls from your eyes Giving truth to this Observance, I've come to realize Leads to it all

Selectively blind We draw the line Between sympathy And what we choose to believe Thoughtless again The burden that we bare Ignore guilty eyes All is learned in refrain I feel there is Something that I must do In a world whose eye's have grown cold With no hands bound I'll make a promise To wait for the new Vision that's calling me Memories in the distance Brought into view Voices are calling me A passionless voice Lost in the rain Reflections of our lives In an emotionless face A child is born in rage All carried in vain Your guilty eyes Are all that remain I said that I'd never fall Into the trance of delusion's rage Oh father I swear I'll make a promise To wait for the new Visions are calling me Memories in the distance Brought into view Voices are calling me

Waiting for the voices of reason I can't see but to close the door Open the new one And walk towards the edge Freedom in this one So few'll understand Ashes of passion Once moved us all A view we all fashion And follow the same Lonely's never far away I remember its face I vowed to restrain the gray As I saw past their empty stare One by one We'll follow and fade away One by one Burned by regret Waiting for the voices of reason And I don't feel the need anymore All I believed in was empty in promise The shame found in these eyes I've learned to wear Lying awake and drowning in fear It's part of the role That I've learned to live One by one We'll follow and fade away One by one Burned by regret

This track is instrumental.
Here we stand Alone and so afraid The pallid lights Drift away I've heard that time will heal the wounds Still the wounds are all I have in time, we'll find it only It only fades away I'll embrace the cold The apprehension that holds me Horizons fade Into forever As the memories Echo your name In remembrance, secured assurance Never questioned Oh, until the opaque eyes Dimmed and turned So cold and gray, disillusioned I am alone While beaten down, I'll stand Crying out for the shelter of your smile Is it all An emotion to face Or is it all Embracing a need Horizons fade Into forever As the memories Echo your name Horizon's fade Into each other Out of reach And so far away

Step by step and further in Walking blind in a common stride Like they told you All along afraid to ask A doubting mind masked by pride The shadows hold the truth When will you see The words voice the passion In one dimension You'll wait Holding back the fears Once more in vain In lost dimension Lost A choice made in love Or a choice made in words On the surface the same Wear the healing hand Or wear a healing mind In a while lie confession Blue eyes, they will see The words aren't the passion In one dimension You'll wait Holding back the tears Once more in vain In one dimension Lost I lost blind faith when it lost The tone of sincerity I felt the voice, I suppressed In the name of belonging And you will count the days By regret, as faith lies bleeding And you'll watch As the years turn into a lifetime In one dimension You'll wait Holding back the fears Once more in vain In one dimension Lost In faith... Or just a name Life's the living word Learning, solace is the shelter Life's the living word Learning, solace is the shelter All the while, faces burn The ones you've known must learn Learn to feel, learn to ask It's a part of knowing In one dimension You'll wait Holding back the fears Once more in vain Holding the candle alone

I felt the need this morning To try this again As I woke in a haze of Helplessness Looking back for a reason To understand How desire so inspiring Drifts away I've heard that life's a stream of regrets I understand I've seen how youth can steadily regress As the night rolls in Alternate lines Bound to forever Perspectives divide Into their own lines Sketching a scene within it's fragile frame A face that looks familiar, once a part of me Reaching out towards the memories Out of reach I've heard that life's a stream of regrets I understand I've seen how youth can steadily regress As the night rolls in Alternate lines Bound to forever Perspectives divide Into their own lines

I came to watch the water rise Then saw the passion fall A child born through these eyes Must set the stride alone The scars became our own Rage incited by rage Drowning out every choice Alone Rage in silence has come to be Reflections of the anger in me Emotional identity A part of what I need to feel Drifting lifeless, it feeds the trend These wounds define us, and leave me here The warmth confided within your hands Is so enduring, just like despair Afraid to wonder why Helpless vision, I walk alone Where was I on the day my father died These lessons get blurred all along How can I give meaning to my life When I don't know exactly where it leads I long for the solace that somehow betrayed us Left me frustrated and alone With every empty promise the scars will define us I closed my eyes again Rage incited by rage Drowning out every choice That remains within this Hate incited by hate Drowning out every voice That remains within this
