RISE ABOVE

ELEVATE ME – COME AND SAVE ME
TEACH ME HOW TO RISE ABOVE

THIS SILENCE CONSUMES ME – IT WON’T DIE DOWN
LIKE ALWAYS INTRUDING – THERE’S NO WAY AROUND
BUT I’LL RETURN THIS PAIN TO YOU

CHORUS
I WON’T GIVE UP. I WON’T GIVE IN.
I WILL NOT STOP BELIEVING
AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW…

THESE FOUR WALLS CREATED A FORTRESS TO HIDE
THE THINGS I CAN’T ACCEPT, THAT I REFUSE TO CHANGE
I’VE LOST MYSELF IN DENIAL
BUT I’LL RETURN THIS PAIN TO YOU

THESE FEARS ARE WEIGHTS TIED TO MY FEET
I’M SINKING FASTER INTO QUICKSAND NOW THE PAST REPEATS
FAITH OR TRUST, YOU NEVER GAVE IT TO ME.
LUST FOR LIFE, YOU’LL NEVER TAKE IT FROM ME
ALL THIS TIME YOU WERE MY ENEMY.

IN THE END, I STILL BELIEVE. I WON’T GIVE IN. DESPITE ALL MY FEARS
WHAT YOU CRITICISE IS WHAT I’VE COMPROMISED. WON’T APOLOGIZE FOR THESE WORDS

RETURN… RETURN… RETURN…
I WILL RISE. I WILL RISE. I WILL RISE ABOVE…. ABOVE…

TAPPING THE VEIN

FIGURE IT OUT. NOW IT’S TOO LATE.
KILLING MY MIND WITH YOUR FALSE HOPE WORDS
FILLING THE VOID BY TAPPING THE VEIN
PRETENDING TO DIE JUST TO SHIELD THE PAIN

THERE IS A SIDE OF MYSELF I DON’T EVER WANT TO SEE
THERE IS A PLACE IN MY MIND I DON’T EVER WANT TO BE
CLOSING MY EYES, I DON’T EVER WANT TO FEEL.
BUT IT IS THE PRICE I PAY.

CHORUS
WHY, DO I FEEL THIS WAY.
WHY DO I?
I BIDE MY TIME AND WISH IT ALL AWAY

FREAKING ME OUT. FALLING BEHIND
KILLING MY MIND WITH YOUR FALSE HOPE WORDS
IT’S TEARING AWAY. I’M IGNORING THE SIGNS
SHIFTING ME BACK INTO FULL REVERSE
BUT IT IS THE PRICE I PAY

YOU KNOW YOU NEVER WERE A PART OF ME…..

ENIGMA

PEEL THIS APART AND TEACH US TO READ
BETWEEN ALL THE LIES AND WHAT WE’RE PREPARED TO SEE
I CAN’T CONTROL MY EYES, CAN’T CONTROL MY EYES
I CAN’T CONTROL THEM ALONE

CHORUS
SHOW US THE WAY WE OUGHT TO BE
AND WE’LL TRY NOT TO FORCE IT BACK
TEACH US THE WAY WE OUGHT TO THINK
WE’LL TRY NOT TO FORCE IT BACK

I’VE TRIED TO RESIST THIS COURSE OF EVENTS
IT’S PULLING ME DOWN, CAUSING ME TO BEND

WE THRIVE ON THIS PAIN, DEEP INSIDE AND SO FAR WE EXIST
THEY CREATE ALL THIS HATE IN OUR VEINS, AND SO FAR WE EXIST
IT’S TOO LATE TO TURN OUR BACKS ON THIS DISEASE
THEREFORE WE EXIST HERE…

FALLEN

WIPE THESE TEARS FROM MY FACE
HOLDING ME BACK FROM MY OWN DISGRACE
TOO FAR GONE TO BE ERASED
ALL THIS TIME I’VE HAD TO FACE…

FALLING INTO THIS LANDMINE AS YOU BLINDFOLD ME
GLOATING YOU’RE SO SADISTIC. YOU CAN’T BURY ME
SEARCHING TO FIND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE
ALL OF THIS TIME IS WASTED ON THIS BLIND LEAP OF FAITH

CHORUS
THROW IT AWAY CAUSE IT’S HOPELESS
THROW IT AWAY CAUSE IT’S TIRED
THROW IT AWAY CAUSE IT’S BROKEN
THROW IT AWAY CAUSE YOU’RE BLIND

FIGHTING AGAINST THIS WEAKNESS
NOW WHO’S ON THEIR KNEES
BEGGING FOR MY FORGIVENESS
THERE’S NO SYMPATHY
STILL TRYING TO FIND THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE
ALL OF THIS TIME IS WASTED ON THIS BLIND LEAP OF FAITH

THIS TIME’S ALREADY GONE… THIS CANNOT REPAIR
OUR TIME’S ALREADY GONE… THIS WILL NOT REPAIR

THIS TRUST IS BROKEN. IT’S RUSTING AWAY
DO WHAT YOU WANT. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO ME
THIS TRUST IS BROKEN

I DON’T WANT TO SEE. I DON’T WANT TO FEEL, FEEL THIS ANYMORE
SAY WHAT YOU WILL… SAY WHAT YOU WILL

ZERONESS

KICK ONE MORE TIME

RIGHT THROUGH YOU…

WHEN YOU’RE TIME COMES TO GET BURNED
TRY TO LET YOURSELF LEARN
GO WHERE YOU BEGAN
…AGAIN!

TELL YOU HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE
AWAY CAUSE YOU ALWAYS THINK YOU’RE RIGHT
RIGHT THROUGH YOU…
RIGHT THROUGH YOU…. RIGHT THROUGH YOU….

PARASITES

KEEP OUT THE VOICES IN MY HEAD
QUIT WHILE YOU CAN, WHILE YOU’RE AHEAD
THEY’RE TELLING ME LIES I CAN’T BELIEVE
IT COMES STRAIGHT FROM THE MOUTH OF JEALOUSY

BREAKING US DOWN UNTIL WE BLEED
FAKING US INTO WHAT WE NEED
A THORN IN MY SIDE I CAN’T FORGET
IT COMES STRAIGHT FROM THE MOUTH OF JEALOUSY

CHORUS
I GAVE MY LIFE FOR THIS WAY
I CHOSE MY PATH, FUCK YOUR FAITH
I KNOW YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
BUT I’D DO IT OVER AGAIN
YOU SEE.. WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE…

I JUST WANT TO CLOSE MY EYES. ALL I FIND ARE PARASITES
I JUST WANT TO CLOSE MY EYES, BUT I CAN FEEL THEM ALL
JUST FEEDING OFF OF ME….

REALIZE, REALIZE, REALIZE…

YOU SEE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE
SO WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME???

CONTROL FREAK

QUALIFIED BUT WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME?
I’LL DECIDE BECAUSE YOUR MIND IS NOW DISEASED.
GLORIFIED CAUSE I KNOW THAT HOW YOU SEE THINGS
ALL THIS TIME I WANTED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN… ANYTHING…

CHORUS
YOUR GAME AS ALWAYS
YOU PULL THE STRINGS
MADE YOU THINK YOU COULD CONTROL ME???

YOU’RE PETRIFIED I MIGHT START THINKING FOR MYSELF
REVOLUTION STEMMING FROM MY OWN FREE WILL
GLORIFIED CAUSE I KNOW THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE THINKING
ALL THIS TIME I WANTED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN… ANYTHING…

LIFE IS WORLDS THAT COLLIDE, CRASHING DOWN AGAIN
LIFE IS WORLDS THAT COLLIDE… IT’S WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT

YOU DON’T KNOW ME… YOU NEVER WILL.
WHAT MADE YOU THINK YOU EVER WOULD

YOUR PLAYING GOD WITH MY LIFE. WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT?

YOU DON’T KNOW ME… YOU NEVER WILL.
WHAT MADE YOU THINK YOU EVER WOULD
YOU FUCKING FREAK. YOU PRAISE YOURSELF FOR EVERYTHING YOU THINK
YOU KNOW.

WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT???

FRICTION

LIFTING ME UP TO TEAR ME DOWN
YOU’RE FEEDING ME TO THIS HATE
BETRAYING MY WOUNDS, I SEW THEM UP BINDING ME TO THIS PAIN
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOUR WAYS…

CHORUS
I LIE AWAKE BESIDE MYSELF, ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.

FINDING A WAY TO LEAVE THIS BEHIND
BUT IT’S THROWING ME BACK AGAIN
BETRAYING MY WOUNDS, I SEW THEM UP BINDING ME TO THIS PAIN

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOUR WAYS
IT FEELS LIKE I’M FALLING DOWN,
IT FEELS LIKE I’M LOSING GROUND
I’LL HOLD THESE WORDS, I’D NEVER WANT TO SPEAK
HOLD THEM BACK… INSIDE…

TRUTH

POSSIBILITIES ARE CLEAR SO TELL ME WHY
WE’LL NEVER SEE THINGS THE SAME WAY
THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS STARING BACK
HAUNTING US, BUT STILL WE CHOOSE TO CLOSE OUR EYES

CHORUS
WE FEEL RESPONSIBLE
WE DO JUST LIKE WE’RE TOLD

SPREADING LIKE A NEW DISEASE
ONE BY ONE, WATCH THEM AS THEY FALL IN LINE
THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS STARING BACK
HAUNTING US, BUT STILL WE CHOOSE TO CLOSE OUR EYES

FACE IT
THE TRUTH WIL TAKE US
TO A FAR, FAR BETTER PLACE

THINK ABOUT IT… THINK ABOUT IT…
WE CAN’T DENY
THE TRUTH WILL TAKE US TO A FAR FAR BETTER PLACE
THINK ABOUT IT… THINK ABOUT IT…

Dead Inside

Everybody wants me dead
You’re far away but still beside me
I’m scared that you won’t breathe tomorrow
but I looked around until I found that all you left me with are memories

Everybody wants me dead
cuz I find it hard to be you
Everybody wants me dead
cuz I find it hard to be myself again

I can’t control that thoughts inside me
my anguish burns a hole in me
but I looked around until I found that all you left me with are memories

(just a bunch of nonsense because I didn’t write lyrics for this part haha)

I think I made my point right?
That yu never know when you’re gonna go
Life’s just a little bitch and everything else is just a lie

Everybody wants me dead
