Sleep now, fragile Cradle my hope Dream 'til morning Rising again To uphold my claims to power Promises bind this place to me Peace I have found in a vision, pure and simple Here in this world I am the king Dreams trouble my conscience With thoughts of those betrayed And prophecies certain bring me to conflict often But comfort has always triumphed against a change Walking again among these familiar faces Hearing the same praises they speak All here is well but somehow so unnerving In the eyes of a child, the world looks bleak Fears grow ever bolder Threatening disgrace All that will be grows clearer with every moment And whispers turn now to shouting for my escape Awake Brashly you stifled warnings See now the fruits of failure Ignorant liar Did you truly think you could stay here awhile And avoid your fate? Crawling, grasping, searching, reaching for a path Through all this chaos Choking on the ashes of a life that suddenly has passed And as the screams subside I slowly raise my head To watch the final ruin And see my kingdom's end Hear me now I'm mournin' the last of love There's no consequence to the way I'm floatin' under the bridge

I turned from the world, but the world turns me They show you the way, but I can't even breathe So I grit my gnashing teeth against a fence I cannot see And wish to fucking hell there was no in-between Secondly but first of all, just because and why I list the constant questions, I kept them all inside But you won't give your thoughts to me, so I won't give you mine And you won't waste your words on me, so I won't waste your time You betray everything when you refuse to see The truth of your trial is lost so listlessly You watch us go by as we laugh and we cry You look down and realize you're not who you think Could there be anything? Embracing the pendulum, so I do not fall behind And I'm weaker than the next in line So I'll do my best to represent the evidence of all that I've spoken With a withered, twisted finger, you're turnin' back the time With a withered, twisted finger, you push 'em all in line You smash to fucking bits your world, when everything's alright You smash to fuckin' bits my world, when everything is fine With a withered, twisted finger, you're turnin' back the time With a withered, twisted finger, you push 'em all in line You smash to fuckin' bits your world, when everything's alright You smash to fuckin' bits my world, when everything is fine And you betray everything when you refuse to see The truth of your trial is lost so listlessly You watch us go by as we laugh and we cry You look down and realize you're not who you think So could there be anything? Embracing the pendulum so I do not fall behind And I'm weaker than the next in line So I'll do my best to represent the evidence of all that I've spoken Watch the world go by you each time Feel this one day, forget the next And live life through lies, empty inside Wondering why And just give it up, you're not for real Don't know a thing 'bout how I feel Just a lie because you try to believe What you won't see and nothing's true If you give up and if you lose And run away when things get gray I won't be left when you confess When you admit you're full of shit Can't comply and take your side I understand that's all you have It's just not enough There will never be anything To justify your wasted life You've fallen so far behind And we're weak as our one best try So I'll let it fall and die away And whatever's left is forgotten, forgotten

Try, seeker, try To find this path of mine I weave a simple line Take care to watch my flight Place your fingers here to guide me Guide me under One must lead the other See, the way I bring Can change easily The end knows those who come But each can run away with us Place your fingers here to guide me Guide me under One must lead the other Walk here softly through this door, or never Follow me into my sanctum, oh, oh There are no words, so watch as I Strip away layers, I strive to find paces I reel from each image, a product of loss Bearing away my wholeness Fooled by my own hands Offer a useless notion to satisfy demands Paint me again so deeply Illusions from within Make me a tragic canvas For the dye inside my skin Sorry, you never asked me Sorry, you never tried Grief you hold so shallow will pass away in time Shards of my identity Scattered here upon the ground With fragments of a tragedy Dig in coarse to bring me down I'm kneeling in my agony Reaching in to pick them out I'm holding on so desperately 'Til they cut inside and drown In this prison of my misery In the vessel of my doubt In the court of endless suffering In the hall where I am bound To these servants of a history As they circle all around They stand in their delight I lay my hands upon these wounds And cry in empty ridicule Broken words and hollow truths I've crept inside a sorrowful embrace Cruel embrace Await my claim So stay away So stay away Away Away Away Away Away Away

Shadow of a soul, you Come to me and wait for my approval To kneel here Sacred is the ground I tread I leave no footprints Perfect in your eyes, you fool Lay the lesser down This blood, it's so dark and red And won't eat away the chains That hold you where I wish I wish Watch my every move so calculated Hunted by the prey but sly, indifferent Swallow all your pride The poison's better that way When this scent arises new Lover of a lie Immersed inside yourself Dream your fractured mind Away inside this cell Oppression, anger, fear and pain Restrain the fire to hold the flame To burn, to sear, to penetrate Allowed a voice to scream my name Grasp in your greed for the riches Give up the hopes for your pride Drink down the wine like a glutton And follow the lust in my eyes For I am the master so envied Free to be wasteful and sloth Fear now the wrath of my power And counting the sins to stay lost And weak and alone and ashamed Afraid, so afraid Of mistakes and Failures to be Perfect, passive And unquestioning You're awake now But far too weak So wait And worry, hide in shadow Do not speak, do not dissent, and lay down Take it, celebrate this pain Tear away the covers Useless vestiges of comfort Pointless tokens of a difference To hide from me, and Throw away the balance Senseless running without conscience Endless circle or a spiral We'll always bleed the same So lay down, slave, down, lay down Slave, down, lay down, slave Lay down, down Lay down, slave Lay down, down Lay down, slave Lay down, down Lay down, slave Lay down

Give to me My angel, my lover, my friend Dissolving my mind again Dissolving my world again And break my dreams My wishes, my hopes, and my wants And make them all real, just once Tonight Fall away Walking on water To see if the surface still breaks Further down Uncertainty goes with its curse Of questions of virtue and worth Inside Fall away Walking on water To see if the surface still breaks And I hold on now to Give in to this taste of One chance to be broken Falling here and I send for My soul to be saved Hold this light before my time When I stand 'til I break Angst is falling from the end Drink up the water, just swallow it down To taste, absorb, below, below, below And fear for the drowning Drink up the water, just swallow it down 'Til I taste, absorb, below, below, below And fear for the drowning And nothing can touch me now And no one can bring me out This ethereal comfort Starts to wear itself thin I'm dazed and back where I started Feel this fear creeping in As the nightmare grows clearer I see nothing is right And I see See Sideways (Sideways) All I believed is lost and shattered (All I believed is lost and shattered) And sideways now (Sideways now) This fragile cloak so torn and tattered is (This fragile cloak so torn and tattered is) Sideways (Sideways) And forcing me to notice this world so (Forcing me to) Sideways now (Sideways now) And failing, falling, breaking, turning so Sideways (Sideways) Just rope me in and shove me under (Just pull me in) Sideways (Sideways) Just hold me down and end what's left of me (What's left of me) And I fall from the light at peace here The water is fine

I try and remember a night before this The mirror reflects, but it lies to me, and I breathe in the breeze open-eyed to feel this And slip into arms dipped in wine To sleep in a house of gods, in an empty room There will be no scars and I will be there Soon And I will be there soon I glance at a clock, lost in time, it's bleeding Past echoes of rain, I cry out for peace I slip past the door painted red to save me And offer my own, lose control And release in a house of gods, in an empty room There will be no scars and I will be there In a house of God, in an empty room There will be no scars and I will be there They may believe that there can only be one end But I will not wait until the blood is off my hands Serenity is just a choice or breath away And condemn each other, but forever I will stay In a house of gods, in an empty room There will be no scars and I will be there In the house of God, in a lovely room There will be no scars and I will be there Soon And I will be there soon

Crown all the thieves and you worship the liars And bow down before every whore in a tie Lost to the end, though the sun also rises And those who would dare bring the turn of the tide Arrogant serenity Falter on the scale when I weigh you This doubt may breed desires For truth For truth And glare just long enough to convey your displeasure As drops, one by one, start to fall in the pool Blurring the sight of a misplaced alliance Where deaf lead the blind, and the blind lead the fools Ignorant security Falter on the scale when I weigh you This doubt may breed desires To look deeper than the surface And to dare to understand All the mysteries residing beneath These reflections of a purpose False impressions of a past That exist only to serve the elite Fuck all these complacent sheep Chasing after every prize Begging at the masters' feet Happy to ostracize Fuck all those who will not see And further than the mirror's lies Fuck you and your vanity It's too late, we're out of time To stand idly by and wait So why don't you take this chance And find a place to Feast on the wealth of your self-indulgence? While the meek and the worthy Change this world again Gnawing away at your precious elegance I hope that you like the taste For there you shall stay lost

Violent spinning darkness Disaster unrestrained Whispers of the ravaged Lost behind the rain He lands among the fallen Pushes out an empty hand Shuts his eyes and turns away Screaming out against the end And tonight I cannot rest because I ache Tomorrow brings the agony of day To sleep, perchance to dream, of all that's lost And all the things we'll never get to say In the echoes of anger Brought from silence too late In this moment of disaster There's a clarity to hate And now his days are empty Lonely, lost, and grey She spends too many hours Just trying not to break Down before the others Who will never know their pain Or the endless years of nightmares That never go away And tonight I cannot rest because I ache Tomorrow brings the agony of day To sleep, perchance to dream, of all that's lost And all the things we'll never get to say In the echoes of anger Brought from silence too late In this moment of disaster There's a clarity to hate Why? Wn't someone tell me why? Won't someone tell me why? Won't someone tell me why? Won't someone tell me why? Won't someone tell me why? Won't someone tell me why? Won't someone tell me why? Won't someone tell me why? Why? And I hate to remember, but I can't forget And I hate to remember, I just can't forget And I hate to remember, this is all I have left And I hate to remember, 'cause I'm tired of this shit and I ache

I listened to your words I sat at your feet Then I watched you drown millions In suicide philosophy And I stand in the balance with gold in my hands Weep like a beggar in silence again And I want to know Why you just sat there Watched millions of your people die Without lifting a finger Here we are at peace If only for a time To sleep in trance, to scream In silence for our crimes

Listen, all you tired, you cold, you bitter masters Starving the weak The stories you have told Cannot stifle the voices of need So wager your tales against our dreams Strangle, stall, monopolize, steal, and separate Keep us all at odds and keep us all in hiding Drifting from the relevant, we can learn again Orders enliven and take us down lightly Fold these wings, I know they've failed you One more leap to fall beyond my knees Leaving sordid idols in our wake Lay them down side by side in visceral exchange These, oh, these wraiths And love them now forever as eyes consume the flawed Holding on to, holding on and stay awake Here we are at peace, if only for a time To sleep entranced to scream In silence for our crimes Bury your heads and lock up your cage Lie so quiet and still But now, know you can't hide from positive change When questions burn inside the unfulfilled So how long do you think we'll wait and see our dreams denied When each and every one of us has felt this tempest rise? Rise Here we are at peace, if only for a time To sleep entranced to scream In silence for our crimes Here we are at peace, if only for a time To sleep entranced to scream In silence for our crimes Here we are, if only this time To sleep entranced to scream In silence for our crimes Enif si retaw eht Ereh ecaep ta thgil eht morf llaf I dna Em fo tfel s'tahw dne dna nwod em dloh tsuj Syawedis ,rednu em evohs dna ni em epor tsuj
