Don't trust a soul
if it does not fall
We learn nothing
without gaping wounds
We must grow to stomach
the taste of our own blood
We have to accept
that love is not enough
Love is not enough
Be still don't breathe
there's no end in sight
We prey on those
naivety provides
We must grow to stomach
the taste of our own blood
We have to accept
that love is not enough
Love is not enough
Truth is never wrong
time is never right
We can't see the past
when the present blinds
Truth is never wrong
time is never right
We can't see the past
when the present blinds
Love is not enough
to fend off the scavengers
Love is not enough
to fend off the scavengers
Oh
Love is not enough
to fend off the scavengers
Love is not enough
to fend off the scavengers

Bad Faith

Today, I saw the face of love in pain
with a sadness that couldn't wash away
You can't give up
I can't give up
They can’t give up
We can't give up, on us
My eyes grew heavy and turned upside-down
drenching us with the tears in which we drown
You can't give up
I can't give up
They can’t give up
We can't give up, on us
Bad faith, bad faith
it can't wash away
Bad faith, bad faith
it won't wash away
It can't wash away
love in pain
Bad faith, bad faith
it can't wash away
Bad faith, bad faith
it won't wash away
It can't wash away...
It won't wash away...

Distract and divide
Distract and divide
Distract and divide
Distract and divide
Complacency spreads
as technology thrives
Predation by proxy
arming all sides
Distract and divide
Distract and divide
Distract and divide
Distract and divide
Contradiction infects
those on the front lines
Insuring extinction
in a matter of time
Wrong truth, right lies
They live, we die
Wrong truth, right lies
They live, we die
Oh
Distract and divide
Distract and divide
Distract and divide
Distract and divide
Distract and divide

To Feel Something
01:58
|

My face it drains when fears are full
They come as such familiar ghosts
Haunting days and the dead of night
If they are felt they will survive
I just wanted to feel...
I just needed to feel...
Numbness comes when...
I just wanted to feel...
I just needed to feel...
Numbness comes when...
My heart it pounds and skips a beat
There are demons inside of me
They found the lock and hold the key
to the bondage that binds the beast
I just wanted to feel...
I just needed to feel...
Numbness comes when...
I just wanted to feel...
I just needed to feel...
Numbness comes when needed
I just wanted to feel something
I just needed to feel...
I just wanted to feel something
I just needed to feel...

They fear what they can't love
They can’t love…
Be your own light when there is none
When there’s none...
And there was never
a way out of here
With vivid violence
comes stinging tears
One must accept this
what's been given
There never was
a safe place there
We’ll take what is deserved
We’ll take what is deserved
They fear what they can't love
They can’t love…
Be your own light when there is none
When there’s none...
In the wake of morning
our sun won't shine
unless we begin
to twist the knife
The war of living
absolves us all
Learn this lesson
or be forced to crawl
We’ll take what is deserved
We’ll take what is deserved
We’ll take what is deserved

Force Meets Presence
02:17

Ah
Sifting through common sense
searching for the past tense
What came first, what will last
damages or demands
(Force meets...)
We claw up to
(Presence...)
be dragged down
(Force meets...)
We claw up to
(Presence...)
be dragged beneath the ground
Sifting through common sense
searching for the past tense
What came first, what will last
damages or demands
What does it say about the soul
that one cannot ascend
without the gift of gravity
tearing off all our limbs
(Force meets...)
We claw up to
(Presence...)
be dragged down
(Force meets...)
We claw up to
(Presence...)
be dragged beneath the ground
Force meets presence
Force meets presence

Gilded Cage
04:48

It's a premeditated war
meticulously it's implored
Addiction is their loaded gun
designed to take the place of love
Pasts are behind us
Futures define us
Nightmares inside us
feed on what remains
Systematically we seeth
Pharmaceutically we bleed
Dependently we take a knee
My acceptance is not defeat
Pasts are behind us
Futures define us
Nightmares inside us
feed on what remains
Locked inside their gilded cage
Locked inside their gilded cage
Locked inside their gilded cage
Locked inside their gilded cage
Pasts are behind us
Futures define us
Nightmares inside us
feed on what remains

Make Me Forget You
04:58
|
|||

I’ve always looked down
instead of forward
Afraid of the mirror
reflecting self worth
I did not know
and I cannot believe
How out of focus
you were to me
I never said...
I never said what I meant to
I never said...
We age faster
then I care to admit
Where memories lived
now silence persists
Every one chooses
when they submit
I am so tired
of abandonment
I never said...
I never said what I meant to
We lie with our words
with truth in our eyes
We all wait too long
for just the right time
As days stretch into years
we don't see the signs
that most second chances
are not meant to survive
Manically tragic
the common thread
We've all made mistakes
and carry regret
Vanishing time
burns at both ends
Nothing hurts more
than this emptiness
I never said...
I never said what I meant to
I never said...
I never said what I meant to
nothing can make me forget you
I never said what I meant to
nothing can make me forget you
I never said what I meant to
Nothing can make me forget you
I never said what I meant to
Nothing can make me forget you
Make me forget you
Make me forget you
Make me forget you
Make me forget…

We Were Never the Same
04:13

Why do we all
gather to mourn yet
not to cherish
There was no shield
or a weapon that
could defeat this
There are no words
or a comfort that
would complete us
We've learned nothing
in our distance
We were never the same
We were never the same
We were never the same
The cost was the ones we let fall
for us to live another day
Our price was the innocence gone
when we chose to not look away
Why do we all
gather to mourn yet
not to cherish
There was no shield
or a weapon that
could defeat this
There are no words
or a comfort that
would complete us
We've learned nothing
in our distance
We were never the same
We were never the same
We were never the same
The cost was the ones we let fall
for us to live another day
Our price was the innocence gone
when we chose to not look away
When we chose to not look away...
When we chose to not look away...
We were never the same
We were never the same
We were never the same
Same...
Same...
