Solace
04:48
|
|||
Imprisoned in lucidity
Insomnia, my captor
Neural pathways ablaze with questions
Darkness void of answers
Self-inflicted, still the victim
Reflection can be torment
One more hour inside my head
Can push me past the limit
I want out of this waking dream
Night without sleep
Torturing me
Trapped in my mind
There is no escape
'Til my thoughts make peace with me
I call your name
Show me the way to meet you
Halfway between heaven and earth
Must've been there all along
Creeping in the shadows
Leering in with ill intent
A deadly force to follow
Clouded thoughts will pave the way
For limitless conjecture
Darkened minds bring only pain
And fear and death together
Deadly fixation
My mind is not my own
Brink of obsession
Leave me alone
I've searched the world to find
Solace of any kind
Take back the reins
Of what remains of my sanity
And now I'm thinking
I won't think about the way it's been
A lesson learned too late
And one I'll learn again

Gremlin
04:12
|

A portrait of a frightened man
Can't you sleep? - Don't worry about me
Witness the onslaught of a mental breakdown
A hairy beast in the darkness
I thought I saw something out there
It must have been nothing, or have I gone insane?
The creature's face stares into mine
It isn't there
It isn't there!
Would you wake up and look out the window?
Wait, he is not there now
I didn't tell you before because I wasn't sure
Now I know that there are monsters
This is real
This is real!
There's a man out there!
Take this medicine
I spit out the pills
There is a pistol
I send her away
My plan is made
I open the window
The gremlin approaches me
But my aim is true
He is gone

Sensational Society
04:31
|

Welcome to a world full of technology
We shut our our mouths and lift our fingers
Reduce conversations to letters on a screen
Replace our faces with artificiality
Close your eyes
Breathe in deep
Plunge ourselves into this madness
Lose control
Have no stance
Yield to the power
Sensational society
There is no resolution in this existence
Arguments and conversations create regression
Distracted by the media and its agendas
Wasted emotions; futile fighting; nothing changes
Close your eyes
Breathe in deep
Plunge ourselves into this madness
Lose control
Have no stance
Yield to the power
Sensational society
The path is clear, but I can't walk
The stage is set, but I can't talk
Therefore I am, but I can't think
We live unmoored, but now we sink
Close your eyes
Breathe in deep
Plunge ourselves into this madness
Lose control
Have no stance
Yield to the power
Sensational society

Black Snake
04:38
|

This is not a protest
This is protection
Stop the rape of the earth
Behead the Black Snake
Burn our eyes with tear gas
Injure us with weapons
We will stand against you
Hear our peaceful plea
Your greed has poisoned our waters
Your muscle invades our land
You claim to manifest destiny
You've stolen our way of life
Your pursuit of happiness is my tale of sorrow

Narcissistic Voyeur
03:31
|
|||
I am reflection
The mirror is tarnished with my self-righteousness
I am error
The best of intentions justify the worst of acts
I keep looking for myself within my darkened mind
What is faith? What is love? These I cannot find
Look in the mirror
Tell me! What do you see?
It is clearer
You were nothing without me
Look in the mirror
Stare into empty eyes
It is clearer
You listened to your own lies
Narcissistic
Look at me! I can be perfection personified!
Voyeuristic
Look at you! You are pleasure for my feasting eyes!
I keep looking for myself within my darkened mind
What is faith? What is love? These I cannot find
Look in the mirror
Tell me! What do you see?
It is clearer
You were nothing without me
Look in the mirror
Stare into empty eyes
It is clearer
You listened to your own lies
