For so long we've waited for these days to come to an end That day is here Tear down these walls This city is dead Tear down these walls Intuition has failed me and I've failed everyone time and time again I've failed you For the last time This is my blood This is my blood dripping from your hands when you stabbed me in my back This is my blood This is my blood dripping from your hands when you stabbed me in my back Through these blank stares time stopped for one minute And for one minute I felt alive I felt alive Alive Just one minute Through these blank stares time stopped for one minute And for one minute I felt alive I felt alive I felt alive I felt alive I'm so sorry for all I've done and for all I'll never do I'm so sorry for everything I've done and for all I'll never do That day is here That day is here That day is here That day is here That day is here This is my blood This is my blood I'm so sorry for everything I've done I'm so sorry for everything I'll never do I'm so sorry for everything I've done I'm so sorry for everything I'll never do

The Absurdity of Solace 04:42
lyrics

open the perilous shaped from another victim's silent cry count the days, count the nights the window will open soon enough though masked by content hold steady ship the storm will pass much like I passed through your hands into the cellar I now call home reeking of sacrifice paralleled only by the stench of condolence prescribe me an antidote to ease the pain empty my heavy heart I've been weighed down for so long that words have lost all meaning this was not part of the agenda and this was not part last week's minutes learn to read between the lines separate fact from fiction and realize the absurdity of solace

...and we all know all the answers but where can the questions be found? Together we fall and together we rise Bound and framed in arsenic Don't let your guard down cuz the phone's still off the hook and we're running out of time Time to face up to the facts Expose the inner lining of this conception conceived in this field of contradiction I'm gaining momentum and headed for a wall Apply emergency breaks when needed All that's left is to perfect this balancing act I've been lying to myself and holding on for too long Let go Free yourself from these haunted memories of self dissatisfaction This feeling is compromising more than self-worth Let down Time after time after time after time after time Ripped apart in a moment of self realization Then captivated Captivated by the beauty of fire and brimstone This is the place that we've come to know as reality This is life This is life This is life

Seeds Planted in Concrete 03:08

Your eyes show me why I hear nothing from the selfishness that's become you Your eyes show me why I hear nothing from the selfishness that's become you How many times have I tried? No more will I endure this and no more will I wait for you to decide and put an end to false pretenses Deny every instance and it will be forgotten but how could I forget? Broken glass imprinted in my mind has numbed my senses Letting me feel nothing Look inside I see you waiting to escape I won't let you I can't let you break me Break me like the window glass shards Mirror images of hatred of a place eroded by crimson colored eyes But I still remember Locked away in a picture book Hidden by the shadows of time Locked away in a picture book Hidden by the shadows of time It's useless to turn away You see it every morning staring at you I won't forget

A Torn Instance 04:45
lyrics

a portrait of your face hangs within these walls where it will stay for all of eternity so that none shall see what you've turned me into burn my flesh and try to forget you always come back tied to the depths of the ocean floor you always come back you are the reason I can't sleep at night what a flattering remark words such as these feed the pain inside this monster grows quicker than eyes can blink beginning to engulf my pride and joy it's just a test of my strength peer under the closet door and fantasies run through my mind I never shined so bright then as if compassion never existed this dream becomes a nightmare overtaking every aspect of emotion there are no feelings only thoughts of self-pity look what you've brought me to I lay on my knees please leave and never return never return

Counterfeit eyes stare off into the distance Looking past every word I've said and everything I've ever done for you Make me whole again and make these tears come to an end Make me whole again and make these tears come to an end Help me find a way and help me find a reason to live again The sun's too bright for me to look into So I'll stay here and wait for time to mend this broken man Tomorrow I'll be dead again Today's the same as yesterday and yesterday is the same as today It never changes Why waste life feeling pain? Now I know not which is worse To live or die Is a choice I've made on my own I've slipped into a pool of my own sorrow and it's here I'll stay With no questions asked And with no remorse Because it won't matter This is all a joke and it's been taken far too far But I won't complain and I won't say a single word I'll just sit and watch as the lights above me dim I'll sit and watch this world fall apart right in front of me I'll sit and watch this world fall apart Now you shatter and I rush to sweep up the pieces In hopes to find redemption I could have saved you yet again I Yet again I slip and I fall I slip and fall Now you shatter Now you shatter You shatter and I I rush to sweep up the pieces In hopes to find redemption Now you shatter and I rush to sweep up the pieces In hopes to find redemption I could have saved you I slip and I fall Your face fills me with pity for those who hide from the truth

I look up at the sky and see heaven falling the stars I once wished upon to bring new life now die the death of all deaths ending the happiness and the sadness of a life stricken by emptiness no longer able to be filled comets crash to the ground leaving a crater inside and a void turn out by demon's hands all hopes and dreams thrown to the ground and spit upon it had to be done and someone had to do it is all that can be said now why is the world caving in on itself? lies and deceit shot overhead without ever a sound heard a moment's heart ache can be so easily forgotten but for you this is the end angels with guns this is the end
