What a platform wasted
What a blatant shame
Chose a decrepit idol
To walk the world's stage
These sins won't be forgotten
Distractions can't persist
This lying suit, this house of cards
The cracked foundation wearing thin
Caged democracy...
Free hypocrisy...
Moral fiber torn...
Human rights ignored...

Mirror

Verse one: Mentally poisoned, can't shake it, it's eating his life (Mouth is sewn shut)
Injecting strife (With blistered tongue)
As she sits there in silence soon there will be no place to hide (In restless nights)
Cannot confide (With blackened sight)
Prechorus: Imperfections, two reflections, intertwining, living, dying.
Chorus: If all the words I say, can't be worth a thing, in the mirror watching feeling the same pain
Wipe your tears away, blackened heart so strained, you cry to the mirror as you fade to grey
If all the words I say, can't be worth a thing, put your hand to the mirror and there I'll be...
Verse two: Darkness reflecting, they're tearing each other apart (love is a lie)
Tear out the heart (no swallowed pride)
Hatred and love are no different, just two polar truths (It hurts me so)
But there's no use (To let you go)
(Prechorus)
(chorus)
(zack's solo)
Bridge: We both knew there would be a day, we'd sever ties and run away
I watch you leave, did I ever believe this wouldn't end in misery
As time crashes down, you release my hand, hard to believe I'll never see you again...
(Chorus)
Chorus 2/Theo's solo: With my tears in the rain, I beg you to stay, and fight your demons for just one more day
If all the words I say, can't be worth a thing, put your hand to the mirror and there I'll be…
There I’ll be.

Treason

(verse 1)
Sell your name, sell your soul
Dotted line, turned to stone
Turn away, but saving face
Won’t change the consequences, set in place
(Prechorus 1)
The monsters walk among us
Run the machine by day
And as the night becomes us
They sell our souls away
(Chorus)
World have mercy upon you all
You’ll pay back in blood what you took in soul
Crushed by the weight of the world you wrought, asphyxiated
(Verse 2)
Build a wall, and close the gate
Set in stone, a certain fate
Without will and without mind
Only the worst of men mislead the blind
(Prechorus 2)
No life is truly sacred
When there is cash to gain
No concern for tomorrow
We waste it all today
(Chorus)
Path that led you here made you blind
To the falsities you perpetualized
Crushed by the weight of the truth you sought, your towers hit the ground.
(Time shift to 145)
(Breakdown)
(solo)
(Outro)
Feel my treason burning within

As I stare into the day's reflection, I see the choices that brought me here
In my silence I am fading, into the words that I never said
It grips my throat and it pulls me under, and now I stare into an abyss of doubt
Searching madly for my last mistakes (Before I’m pulled beneath)
(Chorus): Like embers burning in the night, the stars could never match our light, though all things fade away with time
And as the ashes fade to gray, I'll never turn and walk away, though all things fade away with time,
(I’ll never let you leave my side. I’ll never turn to say goodbye. I’ll never leave these nights behind)
Don't bury it all beneath miles of stone
As if everything we felt meant nothing at all
Even my regrets, made me who I am
And I wouldn't change a thing, if I had the chance
So don't look back, through the eyes of despair and grief
For the air we breathe can't flow through the winds of yesterday
As time will leave its scars and marks, as through the storm we go
We can faintly see the sunlight break through the clouds tomorrow (oh)
As I stare into my life's reflection, I see the ties that bind me to this world
Can't leave yet, though I'm by myself, I am not alone
Before my eyes, a new horizon as I am guided through a sea of light
The past is gone, although time moved on (I'll never let this go)
(Chorus)
Like embers burning in the night, the stars could never match our light, though all things fade away with time
And as the ashes fade to gray, I'll never turn and walk away, though all things fade away with time,
(I’ll never leave these nights behind)

Weight in my chest and it's half past noon
I can only assume it's Saturday
Nightmares fade and the last three days feel like
Hopes and plans that slipped through hands.
And I can see them now, try to unsee it somehow
(chorus)
Ashes ashes, calling my name
Blowing in the summer breeze till nothing remains
Ashes, ashes, morning's regret
It's a curse to remember,
Ashes, ashes, shouting in vain
A repetitive conundrum overtaking my brain
Ashes, ashes, familiar sense, it's a curse to remember
Please tell me how
To forget
The burden's never enough to impress the rest
And perhaps it's best if I'm left to fade
Hypothetical solutions, coax me into the conclusion
that I'd be better off if I stopped waking up
(chorus)

Goodbye
04:26
|

|
Self-doubt blackout, faded
Silence deafens, pervading
Take a step back, by myself
and try this life again somewhere else
Misstep, misunderstanding
Lifehack, life overwhelming
Truth has never been too hard to face
But it seems to me I’m out of place
I slip silently
Blinded by misery
As death follows me
Obscure the life ahead of me
As I step to the edge, tiptoeing towards
The unknown before me
I stop and reflect
This ain’t the way that I want it to end
No direction
Chorus:
Thoughts in my mind, to leave this behind
Cause I guess there’s no point in saying goodbye
Once more love dies, far from these lights
Cause I guess there’s no point in saying goodbye…
Life clock, non-stop running
Sickened by what I’m becoming
Minor setback, major pain
Fallen leaves and freezing rain
Replaced, relive the memory
Reminded, of all that I can’t be
When I’ve never really felt so low
When it turns around, I’ll never known
Lady death, keep calling out my name
I won’t agree to end this life in vain
Existential dread, misery reigns
I will not rest my head beneath a nameless grave
As I step to the edge, no longer afraid of the abyss that calls me
How often I’ve seen, every rainbow I’ve chased
Drowning out in its reflection
(chorus)
Waiting till I, fade and expire
But I guess there’s no point in saying… Goodbye.

You’re wasting air with every breath you spill
Your life is toxic, ridden with your filth
You don’t deserve the sinful life you lead
Every action you’ve committed has been littered with deceit
You’re just an evil we don’t need
Abandonment that you deserve,
fill the world with pain only yourself you serve.
What moral compass you could possess
is lost to you and thrown into the depths
All innocence you touch is soon corrupt
Indict your name, but it's never enough
Return, resurface, lesson never learned
Leave the scene, rot in prison, do a favor for this earth
And what of all the ones you’ve crossed?
Is no one burdened by the loss?
Though you’re a twisted, broken soul
I swear you’ll suffer a thousand fold

Fall
03:37

A cataclysm, a hollow frame
A quiet guilt confines,
I twist and turn my blame,
I self assassinate,
Take back all these memories I can't take the weight
Stripped of my tar and feathered wings
Weightless, unmoving these actions are not my own
I take the blame so I escape, what I cannot control
(Hubris, the smoldered thread of fate,
Atlas unburdened from his weight.)
Chorus:
(1) Where do I turn to when there's no one left
When the world stops turning and the oceans collapse
A permafrost from a poisoned sky
And I can't face it
An armageddon, a shattered trust
A question of how and why
The truth keeps sinking in,
I can’t undo my sins,
Remove my delusions, they’re making me sick
Strapped to, these concrete shoes of grief
Breathing arrhythmic, reactions I can't deny
Growing obsessed as I forget,
The days that pass me by
Charred blood of war
The darkness of starvation
Conquest, white shores
The pale march of desolation x4
I watch the world fall
(Chorus)
(2)This solemn vision has possessed my eyes
and I feel so hollow watching all I love die
Yet all is one, and one is all
I bleed my life out and watch the world fall
I bleed my life out and watch the world fall
I bleed my life out and watch the world fall

Though my life's outlasting time
There's no ending left to find
Like a star's life worth of days
Through states of cold decay
Though the daylight's long since passed
Crushed like dust beneath my path
Like glass shards beneath
My dead memories
Of a risk once taken
And a world never grieved
These cold dead memories still haunt me now
Like a risk once taken
And a world never grieved
