Last Day 02:09
I guess I’ll try Again and again Till I’m old and gray All the while I’m watching everyone else wash away And I’ll get to be One of the Last few standing here when The last few standing here when The last few standing, On the last day earth is here I have to go through with it I've never been good at this I have to go through with it I've never been good at this I have to go through with it I've never been good at this I have to go through with it I've never been good at this

Carbon Copy 03:29
We can be just like you (Just like you) We can be just like you (Just like you) Fix your eyes upon the greatness The perfect lives, that never cry Thank your god we get to watch it In the highest definition cable can provide Oh how profound they can be They promise that we will all see Thank you for your wisdom now I apologize for our poverty Thank you for your beauty now I am so sorry Thank you for your endless grace I'm glad to help my fellow man Because you told me I can Viral excellence is just a click away Take our money For that product Or for your cause It’s always just for show The veil that covers you It’s always just for show It’s always just for show We all end in the same place and i’ll see you in, I'll see you in the dirt We all end up in the same place (Same Place) And I'll see you in, See you in the dirt We all end up in the same place (Same Place) And I'll see you in, See you in the dirt

Home 04:55
In these confines we hoped to share All my energy is watching over you This home is a prison, but not for you My thoughts hold zero value. Atrophy holds my neck, As I look the other way My advantage is gone I've tried and tried But you've taken it without remorse (I’ve tried and tried) But there seems to be no recourse for you You never seem to care As I wish for something else I know I've lived this way before I just can't help, but stare at the door now What have I done to myself? (What have I done?) I know i've lived this way before I just can't help, but stare at the door now What have I done to myself? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? The threads slowly break That delicately weave my sanity I'm not quite the same anymore Another act to numb me out This proximity, it feathers the trigger As I fall apart I’ve tried and tried But you've taken it without remorse (I’ve tried and tried) But there seems to be no recourse for you You never seem to care As I wish for something else I’m watching time tick, tick away Safely, eject now From this reoccurring nightmare Run fast, don't wait I just hope that I wake up I know I've lived this way before I just can't help, but stare at the door now What have I done to myself? (What have I done?) I know I've lived this way before I just can't help, but stare at the door now What have I done to myself? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? What have I done?

Latch Feed Destroy I can’t stop holding out my hand I'm enamored with the blade you press to the center I am so tired Please let me sleep Latch Feed Destroy Latch Feed Destroy A circular set of teeth feed on our appendages And I don’t want to help anymore You’re unaware of what I know Or where the truth meets the lies But if you are who you say you are This changes everything But if you are who you say you are This changes everything I had that daydream again Where I lost everything I own and I love As I watched the world crash around me You swore that nothing could be done I had that daydream again Where I lost everything I own and I love As I watched the world crash around me I sat with severed hands Parasite, parasite Drain the life Drain the life Parasite, parasite I’m afraid of what comes next

Keep on smiling Your soul craves the elixir Depressive euphoria Lost in deadwood tress You’re forced to relive the obscene You will not sleep until I get what I need (What I need) So tell me your story again Repeat it until I learn And tell them I'm sorry I know There not here to tell them why I am surrounded But I put myself here They take the worthless Just because it's free I fall down endlessly I can't see the end Pull me down until I'm on top again. (I'm on top again) Pull me down until i’m on top again Pull me down until i’m on top again The pattern is complete again (Elixir) I’m tossing and turning all night (Elixir) The pattern is complete again (Elixir) I’m tossing and turning all night (Elixir) So tell me your story again Really drill it in to my head And tell them I'm sorry I know It's a waste I shouldn't try Pull me down until I'm on top again Pull me down until I'm on top again, On top again

The last grains, They slip through your hands A bright flash starts us over again Ravenous hunger, it drives the weak They sit akin to Pyrrhus, Atop their thrones Don’t worry now, (Don't worry now) You wont get away Antiquity is a luxury we'll never see Don’t be afraid (Stay with me now) I know it’s brighter than your eyes have seen Don’t be afraid Cause we’re just starting again. Now it’s starting to mend I had that moment of clarity That I wished you all could feel They say that real love is all we need Your pacifism will choke you And they will hear your gasp This anger will destroy us Your nihilism drives I'm the passenger I hope for the best But expect the worst The river of progression Is damned up by the mountain of greed now (Can you see it now?) The river of progression Is damned up by the mountain of greed now (Can't you see it now?) Can you feel it now? Can you feel it now? Can you feel this now? It’s hotter than the sun now I always knew that this was it You got what you wanted yeah And all you loved is gone now Would you ever regret it? You can’t go back after this It’s hotter than the sun now I always knew that this was it (That this was it) You got what you wanted yeah And all you loved is gone now Would you ever regret it? You can’t go back after this

Gold Pockets 04:35
Sly remarks keep your head on straight You've got a label for anyone but you In faux struggle, comes faux triumph Your gold pockets solve everything don't they? A martyr Perched on a hologram throne Save me Save me from this The sun illuminates your path As I stare into the dark I used to pray for god to hear me Until I learned you were the one You don't know A god damn thing about me You don't know (you don’t know) You don't know A god damn thing about me You don't know (you don’t know) The fear that can run out of me The fear that can run out of me The fear that can run out of me When money is no object You can live till the end of time All the pests perish around you As you carve your name in stone A martyr Perched on a hologram throne Save me Save me from this If you only knew what it's like To writhe in the unfair Getting up to the same old thing Is this the part where I give up? And I’ve spent so, so long Just trying to get by Is this where I give up? And we all pray, For the problems you never had Restore / return right now (Restore / return now) And we watch the world wilt, Before you understand Reset / return right now (Reset / return now) Just let the cold water wash over me As I navigate this hell I’ve come to know You don't know A god damn thing about me You don't know (you don’t know) The fear that can run out of me You don't know A god damn thing about me You don't know (you don’t know) The fear that can run out of me

A small trace Of new found joy In this cold February air It detracts from the winters despair Just know I’m scared That this could go away Cause life is cruel And might take you away Someday way too soon Cause I'm not used to being happy I'm not used to being happy Yeah I'm not used to being happy Cause life is cruel And might take you away too soon But I hope you’ll stay Yeah I hope you'll stay For as long as you can now But I hope you’ll stay Yeah I hope you'll stay For as long as you can now

Silence dwells here A landscape so serene An architect awaits Does fortune favor you? A voice at the door And comfort floods right back A question for now This one is brand new I’ve never seen anything, Quite like this before This is all a test, do you think she’ll pass? I’ve never seen anything, Quite like this before And this is all a test A rift throughout this place The wickedness reveals Can you save this life Or have you been deceived? Or have you, been deceived? (Or have you) Or have you, been deceived? (Been deceived) Or have you, been deceived? (Or have you) Or have you, been deceived? Is there any truth? How would you know? Is there any truth? Go now, Push the knife Through the heart of your creator The doors are open, take your chance And stab the knife (Stab the knife) Go now, Push the knife Through the heart of your creator The doors are open, take your chance And stab the knife (Stab the knife) Is there any truth? How would you know? Is there any truth? It won’t show So now you’re free at last The catalyst has been dissolved There’s no turning back this time Cause now you’re free at last The traitor dies in the hall And the snake prevails Is there any truth? How would you know? Is there any truth?

I’m planning on moving Somewhere, where I can’t be reached In the middle of the forest Cause life here's starting to leech What little I’ve got left. And I don’t know, If I can take this any more Don’t you know? This is terrifying Watching everyone dig their graves I’ve always put them before me But they’ll just end up resenting me You must know what I mean. When I say, I can’t be here (anymore) You think I’m not listening But I heard every word you said Save your breath The worst is still coming Take your chance, But there’s no sense running away now So why not stay down Hunker down with the rest of us Just relax and just watch it all fade away And I mean well, but I never have the right words I'm all alone, (All alone) With no time to myself I'm trying to follow what I know to be right I’m hitting walls (Hitting walls again) Much sooner than I thought You must know what I mean. When I say, I can’t be here (anymore) You think I’m not listening But I heard every word you said Save your breath The worst is still coming Take your chance, But there’s no sense running away now So why not stay down Hunker down with the rest of us Just relax and just watch it all fade away Watch it all fade away Take a breath and watch it all fade away Watch it all fade away Give in and watch it all fade away Watch it all, fade away (Fade away) Just hunker down like the rest of us and Just know it’s never Never coming back The era has died It’s never coming back

No catch Since I didn't take the bait. Do you regret that I was able, To call your bluff? There's blood on your leg From the chain that broke when you were Backpedaling so fast admits your guilt It's okay to get caught up Just remember that I'm here too What now as I lie here awake What happens now that I'm free from you? (Free from you) There's blood on your leg From the chain that broke when you were Its another new day The sigh I breathe Will mark today's first new breath Just another new day And not surprisingly, it feels like all the rest I never said goodbye to the dog (The dog) It broke his heart and it's breaking mine too. All these things I would never think of doing to you What now as I lie here awake? What happens now, That I'm free from you Its another new day The sigh I breathe Will mark today's first new breath Just another new day And not surprisingly, it feels like all the rest I never said goodbye to the dog (The dog) It broke his heart and it's breaking mine too. All these things I would never dream of doing to you (Just be a loser again) I just want to be a loser again (Just go back to those days) Go back to those days (Just be a loser again) Back to those days (Just go back to those days) I just want to be a loser again (Just be a loser again) (Just go back to those days) Go back to those days (Just be a loser again) Just go back to those days Waves without sound I can't remember Breath with no air I won't remember One day I'll return but for now I am stuck in this liminal phase (Sour) The confusion it is constant (Flower) The creature that's inside you (Sour) Is pouring out every seam (Flower) I know that I can rid it The creature that's inside you I know that I can rid it The creature that's inside you [Hold on I'm trying to hear what you have to say Hold on I am constantly trying to fix these things Hold on to the life line that's been thrown your way Hold on I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying (Hold)

You’re just having strange dreams again Where you’ve finally lost your mind Only to come around in four months time And everybody’s faces have changed But you still know their names You haven’t forgotten The screens show everything It’s all stuck in your mind (your mind) You can’t unsee You haven’t forgot The screens show everything What would your mother say? If she saw all the things You dreamt up on this day Now what are you gonna do? Knowing none of this will ever hold true It must be in your mind It will never hold true Countless bodies hover through space We are supposed to save them But there’s not enough time There’s just not enough time It’s just not enough Your mind will always play tricks on you Just let it go There’s no point in trying to think it through You gotta let it go Your eyes don’t know what is the truth Just let it go The sun is filling up your room You gotta let it go you gotta let it go
13.
You're waiting patiently For the things you’ve wanted for so long The mirror is getting easier to approach But your time is running low The world isn’t getting any easier Nor is it any friendlier to you or I this day Damn near three decades in, Will it just get worse if you stay here? All the pain, Can it change? You’re just one, Step away Alone as you were and as you always may be Oh the things you do to speed up the days You hope the words can leave your mouth Or will you leave it all behind? Do they know you’ve always been this way? (Always been this way) There must be some kind of fear Eating you every day Now the voice is back inside your head Just like it always has. You’re one step away What are you running from? And why am I still here? What are you running from? You’re one step away You’re one step away You’re one step away You’re one step away You’ve sat back to watch the time shift and pass Only to suggest, That you might have been right all along The cloak you have is starting to bleed through Do they know you’ve always been this way? (Always been this way) There must be some kind of fear Eating you every day Now the voice is back inside you head Just like it always has You're one step away Now the voice is back inside your head (In you head) And its eating you each day You're one step away You're one step away You're one step away Yeah you're one step away (From the end)
