Anchors Aweigh 02:44

Made the perfect match Purpose fulfilled Now I can’t stop Passion can kill My will is shaking My mind can’t stop The thrill increasing The ecstasy in the shock I wanted meaning, And what I found was so much deeper than the peace in the sound A shift in soul, I’ve never felt this before Time and time again I’m more alive and free than ever before Taken aback A faded photograph My mind is changed by disarray And now I’ll never look back... to the life... that I thought... that I had Steer this ship to the sun, and now we’re sailing away The seas are crashing a starboard as they start to pray I taste the salt from the breeze, I feel the sway in my knees There’s nothing on the horizon, all we need are the seas We won’t stop until the end. Your light faded my old friend. Passion kills again. Set sail. Anchors aweigh.

Don’t question how Just understand, just do it now Feel the blood in your veins Can you feel fear? Can you feel pain? It’s just like you, to turn another page And we were just one more rat in this race You wrote the book, so you always knew Well pretty soon you’ll know that I’m learning quickly too We found our path, now we’re here We’re born to question and to fight it Yeah, we’ll raise our flag, don’t try to hide it Bones exposed to bare it all We’ll stand together through it all Hand in hand we’ll watch you fall Conciliate to your appall The theories they’d told us were right Enslave is and force us to fight We’re ready, but you make the call It’s a mass revolution You’ve planned for the tyrants to fall I’ve seen the end Your demise you’ll send Caught in the act and fleeting They lie that you’re leading’s exposing to who you’ve been We found our path, now we’re here We’re born to question and to fight it Yeah, we’ll raise our flag, don’t try to hide it Bones exposed to bare it all We’ll stand together through it all Hand in hand we’ll watch you fall Conciliate to your appall

Silhouette 03:51
lyrics

Sink your shovel Deep in soil Make a home that you can rest forever Bury life, the memory Let’s build this home We’ll build it all together Don’t close your eyes These empty handed hallways And days I saw your very first steps A solid grip on hope I’ll hold your words for ransom I can’t seem to find a silhouette Let’s take a drive to anywhere To fall asleep At the crossroads My hands cold my knees are weak Teary eyed, her hand in mine She turned and said “I’m so sorry, so sorry so” I’ve been stuck in A vision of your paradise Days of pacing the open door Don’t stop breathing I don’t want to see a silhouette I can’t see I don’t want I don’t want to see your silhouette Let’s take a drive to anywhere To fall asleep At the crossroads My hands cold my knees are weak Teary eyed, her hand in mine She turned and said “I’m so sorry, so sorry so” I want your soul to be here But your spirits never vacant When my eyes are open I can see the same hands Let’s build this home Walls built of sorrow Take another breath The earth shook, the earth shook I don’t ever want to feel this way again The unforgivable sin You took his life before it ever began I've given all I can give Do it again I will sacrifice until the end

A cold night, the season is over A sky filled with melody Transcending this moment Never been here before We’ll never forget this It’s saved in our soul I’ll live until the end We’ll find a way to make it there Let’s get lost in ourselves We’ll make it home Go anywhere Our thoughts are racing in parallel tonight These hearts are beating the same This is a vision of paradise, baby A moment forever changing me I’ve got you to blame A connect of innocent motive This moth to the flame A swift moving current Consumed by the flow There’s no way of knowing, How far this will go I’ll live until the end We’ll find a way to make it there Let’s get lost in ourselves We’ll make it home Go anywhere These thoughts are racing in parallel tonight These hearts are beating the same This is a vision of paradise, baby A moment forever changing me I’ve got you to blame I feel the shake in your breath Come on take the lead Move forward, take the step You’ve got the best of me This road unknown Let it lead the way Let go of ourselves We couldn’t have it any other way I’ve got a new breath to life I’ll live until the end It’s in my soul I’m never looking back again I’m giving All I’ve got To you We are one We are one I’ll be yours until this life is done I’ll live until the end We’ll find a way to make it there Let’s get lost in ourselves We’ll make it home Go anywhere These thoughts are racing in parallel tonight These hearts are beating the same This is a vision of paradise, baby A moment forever changing me I’ve got you to blame

What is this home?! She screams, “am I awake?” This obligation to cerebral life is fake You cannot call it living when you just survive I’m sick of dying, ready to live a life You beautiful thing With unbroken wings Burn through their doubt The bliss that it brings Create your dreams (your philosophies) They’ve never lived like kings Cold nights in cars surrounded by flannel, fleece, and these headlights Perfect discomfort The tender look in your eyes Let go of the fear I brought from the past before the confines And now I give myself away Let go If we feed it, this flame will grow We don’t need anything but tonight We’ll live as artists and sculptors of life And leave all the rest here behind Forget the fairytales Above all the statistics We’ll base this new life of a natural logistics Come out of the abyss and find out what our worth is You beautiful thing With unbroken wings Burn through their doubt The bliss that it brings Create your dreams (your philosophies) They’ve never lived like kings Cold nights in cars surrounded by flannel, fleece, and these headlights Perfect discomfort The tender look in your eyes Let go of the fear I brought from the past before the confines And now I give myself away Let go If we feed it, this flame will grow We don’t need anything but tonight We’ll live as artists and sculptors of life And leave all the rest here behind Break your fears (the shift that we made) Like the ice (that day in November) Frozen hard Precious bird Life our lives Sacrifice You are the light Enjoy your flight Let go If we feed it, this flame will grow We don’t need anything but tonight We’ll live as artists and sculptors of life And leave all the rest here behind

Ego Death 03:49
lyrics
buy track
I’ve seen the fire, tasted numbness of the night Finally gave up, turned my back to your fight Decades past, time stood still, they had my will But now it’s mine, I’m tryin’ to find if something’s real Vision narrows, losing touch Yeah it’ll hurt, but not that much This skin is melting, a new awakening This crooked path seems to be straightening This great hole, this great abyss, seems to hold something that I’ve missed And through this poison, I think I’ve found some kind of bliss Intoxicated on fantasy Explore subconscious in vain Intent to wander insanity Discover fate in the fear Searching for truth in the sky Snake in the grass, signs of the tides It opened my eyes Reborn as the ego dies I fell through lies, felt your arms try to “save” me What’s ironic is you believe it’s corruption that changed me I tried to play by your rules, stood on top, pitied fools But I can’t help but see through the eyes, or hear over 7 billion cries Or try to stand resolved on games, or claims to fame, or bringing honor to the family name The whole thing’s insane and I’m done.... It’s the spirit’s time to run Intoxicated on fantasy Explore subconscious in vain Intent to wander insanity Discover fate in the fear Searching for truth in the sky Snake in the grass, signs of the tides It opened my eyes Reborn as the ego dies

Call the doctor, we need an ambulance You’re not the same I know you won’t believe it The ground is cold, we took the worst of the blow Completely changed now, Give me a reason for it Now I’m on my way You’ll never see my face again You took all you could take Reality you’ll circumvent You see, we built up an empire Bigger than Rome Take a look, yeah we caught fire Left us for dead With all these thoughts in our heads I couldn’t see that your pattern was relevant I feel it leaving, with every breath that I breathe How can you say that you care when you gave up Now I’m on my way You’ll never see my face again You took all you could take Reality you’ll circumvent You see, we built up an empire Bigger than Rome Take a look, yeah we caught fire Crumbling all around Crashing to the ground Pick up the pieces, they’ll never be put back “It’s not your fault” Keep telling yourself that Light flash, I see the edge and I’m jumping A life in chains or a life unknown To roll the dice leads a heart that’s worth pumping For all you know, you were designed to feel this pain

Wistful Tapes 03:14

Wistful tapes played in the back of our heads Roll them over and over again Try to create how this is going to end It opened up, but it closed again Unsettled, vulnerable and weak The fears came true, thoughts turned to the worst I can’t seem to find my retreat Just take a step away and see the price you’re willing to pay It got the best of you, This adolescent idea. You're gonna throw it all away Wistful tapes played in the back of our heads Roll them over and over again Try to create how this is going to end Dive deeper into this great abyss Consumed completely by fantasy Get lost, get caught like we did before Reality transforms into dream Just take a step away and see the price you’re willing to pay It got the best of you, This adolescent idea. Now gonna throw it all away Wistful tapes played in the back of our heads Roll them over and over again Try to create how this is goin to end Fake red splinters and the science of things The stars up above yeah above it’s the same Closing the distance, the miles in between

Prey on the Innocent 04:16
lyrics

I’m living in created consciousness I’m falling through a false reality Follow the words of a corrupt philosophy Open up your mind come on just shift the lock Step from behind the fuckin' chopping block Walk away from this life of pain For seven years it’s driven me insane Put all of your faith in me 'cause I’ve seen everything Set all of your fears aside and we’ll do anything I let go of the rail, the classic fairytale I rose to my feet and set fire to the snares Give up the guilt, grasp a hold to what you see in me Become a slave to halfhearted ignorance Vision blurred, day by day Can’t help yourself, for the fathers begot Always been taught to prey on the innocent Put all of your faith in me cause I’ve seen everything Set all of your fears aside and we’ll do anything I let go of the rail, the classic fairytale I rose to my feet and set fire to the snares Give up the guilt, grasp a hold to what you see in me Prey on the innocent for they know not what they say Put all of your faith in me cause I’ve seen everything Set all of your fears aside and we’ll do anything I let go of the rail, the classic fairytale I rose to my feet and set fire to the snares Give up the guilt, grasp a hold to what you see in me

No we’re never gonna find our way Gonna find our way back home I’ve been knocking on the same damn door Been knocking way too long No we’re never gonna find our way Gonna find our way back home I’ve been saying that I’m alright But I’ve been wrong All the days on the banks of the Blackfoot made A weathered man stay true turn from the grave Though I may be that weathered man I’ll still do the best I can No we’re never gonna find our way Gonna find our way back home I’ve never felt so strong, Now that I’m moving on No we’re never gonna find our way Gonna find our way back home When this anthem is at its end, I’ll sing another song All the days on the banks of the Blackfoot made A weathered man stay true turn from the grave Though I may be that weathered man I’ll still do the best I can
