Through The Exterior

The mask she wears can only hide what's under the surface
And she crafted her disguise so well
But I can see through the exterior
Of her eyes that show a loss of integrity
In this crowded room
The faces blend into one another as she stares
And wonders if she is the only one who feels so alone right now
But you take it all in your stride
And these steps you take are the ones to retain your pride
The mask she wears can only hide what's under the surface
And she crafted her disguise so well
But I can see through the exterior
Of her eyes that show a loss of integrity
Open to attack
She's her own worst enemy left with no army to defend her
But you still carry on in your ways
And at what stage will you raise your hands and surrender?
You owe in to yourself
Now you feel like your life has passed you by
One blink and you would miss it all in a second
As you take your last breath

Day Of The Collapse
03:45

Crows circle the sky watching our every move
Scavenging around for scraps
As if they knew they would not survive
Coz only time will tell and determine our fate here
Or are we just a lost cause?
Can our empty shells be filled with hope of seeing another day
No angels take flight
Their grounded here with no purpose served
So witness hell on earth my friend
What's left here to preserve, now observe
Coz only time will tell and determine our fate here
Or are we just a lost cause?
Can our empty shells be filled with hope of seeing another day
So we fall to our knees in disbelief
So we fall to our knees on this day of the collapse
So take my hand and lets run coz the end's here now

Wire Forms

Your indecency is now exposed
A cheap shot at fame is all you have left to show
Your words still haunt me
I'm a ghost to this world
I can't honour this life we try to rebuild
Coz things just won't be the same
From now on
All dignity is lost
Someone throw me a line
I can't drown in here
As my mortification is filling up to the brim
Without any care for overflow
Coz things just won't be the same
From now on
You can't mould us into a shape
That won't form
I can't help help but ask
What in the hell possessed you
Still asking myself
Who in the hell would obsess about you?

This Is A Fraud

I feel like a liar trapped inside myself
With no intent yeah no intent to hide
So lets take a second here and stop
Now breathe
What would I do if the truth came out
And if these walls could speak
Would I tear them down?
This is my wake up call
As I insist to take my own life
In my hands
It would take a lifetime
To clear up the mess I've made in my head alone
I have nothing to show tonight
So lets take a minute here and think
Just think
Of the weight you carry on your shoulders
Yeah it's here to stay
Until you stand your ground
Coz this is my wake up call
As I insist to take my own life
In my hands
But I'll find a way out
Do you not have the foresight
Do you not have the foresight to see
Do you not have the foresight to see I'm a fraud

Crosses

Don't you know that I'll be around to guide you
Through your weakest moments to leave them behind you
Returning nightmares only shadows
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now
Crosses all over, heavy on your shoulders
The sirens inside you waiting to step forward
Disturbing silence darkens your sight
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now
Crosses all over the boulevard
Crosses all over the boulevard
Crosses all over the boulevard
Crosses all over the boulevard
The streets outside your window overflooded
People staring they know you've been broken
Repeatedly reminded by the looks on their faces
Ignore them tonight and you'll be alright
We'll cast some light and you'll be alright

The Saviour

The tables turn
It's time to make a stand
I'll play the saviour
A role I must take on
If sleeping is escapism
Is reality a dream?
There's a serious glitch in the system it seems
Forgive my honesty
I'll tell it like it is
Now hear me out
Just imagine if we had no fears or doubts
I hope you take what I say onboard
When your ship sinks make sure you swim for your life
I'll meet you when you reach the shore
And I take my hat off to you
I take my hat off to you once more
If sleeping is escapism
Is reality a dream?
There's a serious glitch in the system it seems
Forgive my honesty
I'll tell it like it is
Now hear me out
Just imagine if we had no fears or doubts
Take a step back
Look at yourself
Would you chose to throw this life away
I say it's gone to far and now things are gonna change
You say you've lost sight of life which you wish you could regain

Fuck it!
On that night we walked for hours
As if there was no end in sight
It's killing me to tell you this right now
We'd glide through life together
Ignoring all passers by
Was just killing myself believing in you
Challenge me
Coz I need this task
Discard my inhibitions
You took all you wanted
Left to burn
Destroyed with such precision
Still coping with the aftermath
And salvaging the remains that are left
Now living different lives on familiar ground
You fade into the distance
As dark consumes the light
Challenge me
Coz I need this task
Disgard my inhibitions
You took all you wanted
Left to burn
Destroyed with such precision

We all fall into the same trap
Of seeking out what we will never find
No solutions, no resolve
There's no end to this way of life
It was down to us but this battle is over already
It's too late to save ourselves
We'd wait for hell to freeze over
Before we'd even try to make a change
Praying for a second chance
But holding onto what we had
Is slipping through our fingertips
There's no shread of hope left
As a cold rush of fear fills us inside
There's nowhere left to turn
And no we're just lost for words
We'd wait for hell to freeze over
Before we'd even try to make a change
And let the ocean swallow us whole
If we won't fight to keep the balance retained

Is this really a fight that you wanna pick?
Coz in the end, you will lose
Falling apart at the seams
But I'll still stitch your filthy mouth shut, whore
Spare me all the lies
Now what do you take me for?
Say it to my face
Look me in the eye
But can you?
I don't want a piece of you
I just want the whole thing
Yeah I don't want a piece of you
I just want the whole damn thing
So go on baby, won't you give it your best shot
Steady now, remember you're aiming to please
Even though you fire untruths at point-blank range
Tell me baby, am I all you ever wanted?
I am done here
Out with the old
And in with the new
I just can't take much more
(When it's the same as always)
I just can't take much more
(When it's the same as always)
I just can't take much more
(When it's the same as always)
I just can't take much more
(When it's the same as always)

So show me your hands
Are they still stained red with our blood
That you chose to shed
It's your business now
Now!
Like an open casket, we're exposed
And on display for all to see
But we'll bury ourselves in the confines of our own
Even though they orbit our entire world
Keeping tabs and clouding our atmosphere
We'll somehow find room to breathe in this air
So show me your hands
Are they still stained red with our blood
That you chose to shed
They'll speculate and debate
Who committed the crime
But what's to say we are not all guilty as hell
Digging this hole deeper
But will we make our own way back to the surface
Or fall short in trying
The runway's clear
But no one has thought to guide us into safety
Are we done with caring anymore?
Are we done with caring anymore?
Are we done with caring
Are we done with caring
Are we done now?
Are we done with caring anymore?
So now we are done here
Yeah
