MANIC DISTRESS
04:03
|

|
LOST FOR WORDS AGAIN
SEE AS I STRUGGLE TO GAIN A FRIEND
ON THE CORNER OF HEARTBREAK AND TEARS
THIS ISOLATION
IVE BEEN THROUGH FOR YEARS
AND BITTERNESS CONSUMES A WEARY SOUL
IS THERE SOMETHING
THAT CAN HELP ME GRAB A HOLD
SO WHAT IS SANITY?
IN A COMPLETLY INSANE WORLD
DYING OF GRIEF AND SADNESS
AND THERES NOTHING THAT ANYONE CAN DO
TO CONSOLE
MANIC DISTRESS
FEELING HELPLESS
IN A PARADOX,
TRAPPED BETWEEN SPACE
AND TIME
ALONE IN THE DARKNESS
TRAPPED WITH THESE THOUGHTS THAT CONFINE

THE PHONY TOUGH
04:07
|
|||
|
DRIVE BY IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
STRUCK DOWN IN A HAZE OF GUNFIRE
YOUNG LIVES ARE LOST
A RIDICULOUS COST
SO POINTLESS IT NEVER ENDS
THE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS
IS A LOVED ONES DISASTER
IS IT FUNNY WHEN YOU MURDER SOMEONE?
SEVENTEEN FROM THE VALLEY
SHOT IN AN ALLEY
WAS THE STORY OF A FRIEND OF MINE
THE PHONY TOUGH
IVE HAD ENOUGH
OF THE COLD BLOOD
DRIED ON THE CONCRETE
TO BE EASILY SWEPT BY
THIS DEADLY DISEASE
SO WIPE YOUR SWEAT
AND SIGH IN RELIEF
FROM THE GUTTERS OF AMERICAN DREAMS
A SUBCULTURE BECOMES MAINSTREAM
PROVOKING VIOLENCE
FROM AN AUDIENCE OF DRONES
CORRUPTED MINDS, IN WHICH NEED GROWTH
A MEDIA FRENZY
FOR THE TRASH AND THE TRENDY
ISNT ANYONE REAL ANYMORE?
A SCENE OF ENVY
A FEELING THAT ENDS ME
AS THE BODY BAGS FILL EVERY NIGHT
THE PHONY TOUGH
IVE HAD ENOUGH
OF THE COLD BLOOD
DRIED ON THE CONCRETE
TO BE EASILY SWEPT BY
THIS DEADLY DISEASE
SO WIPE YOUR SWEAT
AND SIGH IN RELIEF
MOTHERS CRY
THEYRE CHIDREN DIE

OVERCOME
03:02
|
|||
|
TWO HEARTS ENTWINED AS ONE
TO BUILD A TEMPLE
WE'LL COME TO LOVE
OUR PETTY DIFFERENCES, TRAMPLED
WE'LL OVERCOME
YOUR BEAUTY, I CANT RESIST
AND AS WE GROW OLD
WE'LL FIND A WAY TO COEXIST
NOTHING COULD EVER STOP US
WE'LL OVERCOME
AND THE BARRIER WE ALWAYS BREACH
AND WHEN SANITY IS
SO OUT OF REACH
WE'RE BUILT UPON THIS ROCK OF LOVE
WE'LL OVERCOME
DONT HOLD OUT NOW
OPEN UP YOUR ARMS
BECAUSE YOU KNOW MY LOVE
IS MEANT FOR YOU
DONT HOLD BACK NOW
OPEN UP YOUR HEART
BECAUSE YOU KNOW MY LOVE
IS JUST FOR YOU

ARMS LENGTH

|

|
AN ARMS LENGTH DISTANCE
FROM EVERY ONE
DONT WANT YOU TO CLOSE
TO MY HEART
AND IF YOU PENETRATE
THIS GREAT WALL
IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE
YOU FALL
IN A SERIES OF STRANGE EVENTS
I MASQUERADE THROUGH THEM ALL
THERE WAS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THIS TUNNEL
BUT IT CAVED IN ON ME
MY LIFE IS LIKE A SHATTERED DREAM
NOTHING IS EVERY AS IT SEEMS
SO LOOK UPON MY CONCRETE FACE
A MAN FILLED WITH
VIOLENCE AND HATE
THE TIME HAS PASSED
AND I WONT CHANGE
DONT WANT TO JOIN
THIS SO CALLED "HUMAN RACE"
I HAVE MY DIGNITY , I HAVE MY PRIDE
ILL NEVER LET YOU BACK INSIDE

SON OF MAN
WONT YOU TAKE ME BY THE HAND
AND SHINE YOUR GRACE DOWN ON ME
SON OF MAN
WONT YOU HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND
THAT THERE IS SALVATION FOR MY SOUL
DARKNESS STRICKENED AND BLIND
SEARCHING HALF HEARTEDLY TO FIND
LORD HAVE MERCY ON THIS WEARY SOUL
FOR IM JUST A MAN OF FLESH AND BONE
SON OF MAN
WONT YOU TAKE ME BY THE HAND
AND SHINE YOUR GRACE DOWN ON ME
SON OF MAN
WONT YOU HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND
THAT THERE IS SALVATION FOR MY SOUL
BOUND BY FLESH AND DESIRE
BURNING INTO THE VOID
UNFRUITFUL DEEDS AND BLASPHEMY
WHY WOULD YOU SAVE A SINNER LIKE ME?
EMPOWER ME WITH FAITH AND DEVOTION
THAT I MAY HELP THE ONES IN NEED
EMPOWER ME WITH FAITH AND DEVOTION
OH LORD IM HERE DOWN ON MY KNEES
LORD JESUS TAKE ME ON MY KNEES

DEVILS OF DOCTRINE
03:59
|
|||
|
FALSE PROPHETS PREACHING DEADLY LIES
TO CORRUPT THE TRUTH THAT SACTIFIES
THROUGH CLEVER WORDS THEY NULLIFY
TO ROB THE SPIRIT IN MANKIND
LIKE RAVENOUS WOLVES
FALSE TEACHERS INFILTRATE THE WORD
TO KEEP THEIR BONDAGE ON THE WORLD
TO CAUSE DIVISIONS IN THE FAITH
TRUE WORDS OF LOVE THEY COME TO BREAK
LIKE RAVENOUS WOLVES
WELL VENGENCE IS THE LORDS
WHO'S TOUNGE IS A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD
WHO COMES LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
EVERY KNEE SHALL TAKE A BOW

THIS CHILD

|
PAINFUL HUMILIATION SCORNS
THE INNER WORKINGS OF A CHILD
A BLACKEND ROSE WITH SHARPENED THORNS
IS OVERLOOKED AGAIN
ON THIS FACE RESIDES NO SMILE
AND WHY DO PEOPLE SEEM TO BE
SO WRETCHED AND SO VILE
YOU TURN AWAY FROM ALL YOUVE KNOWN
THIS CHILD NOW HAS GROWN
FIND OUT THESE PEOPLE
WHO INSINUATE THINGS ARE MORE
INSECURE THAN YOUVE EVER BEEN
SO CONJOUR UP YOUR STRENGTH WITHIN
TO FIGHT
COLORFUL SCARS
TELL THE TALES OF OUR LIVES
FOR EVERY PROMISE MADE
I MAKE TO BREAK THEM TWICE
HARMFUL WORDS THEY CALL "ADVICE"
SOUNDED MORE LIKE LIES
THICK SKIN GROWN ON
YEARS OF REJECTION
WHERE IM HEADED THERE IS NO CORRECTION
WHERE THE LOVE IN THIS TOWN?
ITS BURIED IN THE GROUND
FIND OUT THESE PEOPLE
WHO INSINUATE THINGS ARE MORE
INSECURE THAN YOUVE EVER BEEN
SO CONJOUR UP YOUR STRENGTH WITHIN
TO FIGHT

SAD REFLECTION
03:03
|
|||
|
I TOOK A WALK TODAY
TO ANALYSE A WAY
TO LIVE IT ALL AGAIN
THE MIRRORS NOT A FRIEND
AND TO SOON WILL BE THE END
WILL I JUST FADE AWAY?
SO YOU THINK IM STRANGE
SOMETIMES I FEEL THE SAME
WELL WHO SHOULD I BLAME?
THE FINAL CURTAIN CALL
I DONT WANT TO LIVE AT ALL
IM FEELING WAY TO SMALL
CONSEQUENCES THAT ILL BEAR
IT JUST SEEMS TO BE UNFAIR
ALL THOSE COMPLEX TRADGEDIES
THEY GET THE BEST OF ME
NOW IM FINALLY THROUGH
IVE GIVEN UP ON YOU
LETS NOT GET TO INVOLVED
TRAGIC AS IT SEEMS
WEVE TORN THROUGH ALL THE SEAMS
AND LEFT ME RIPPED IN TWO
SELFISH FEELINGS RUNNING ROUND
I ONLY THINK ABOUT MYSELF
STRUGGLING WITH MY DEPRESSION
ITS SUCH A SAD REFLECTION
IM JUST A SAD REFLECTION.

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE
03:52
|
|||
|
AS VACANT AS THEY SAY
IM HARMLESS AND FRAILE
I SINK TO THE BOTTOM
AS I FALL FROM MY COURSE
AND TONIGHT ILL CRY
THROUGH THESE HEAVY
SWOLLEN BAGGED EYES
DEFEAT IS UGLY
AS UGLY AS ME
TROUBLED THOUGHTS
OVERLOADED BY FEAR
FOUR WALLS AND A CEILING
HAUNT ME FOR YEARS
LEAVING THE PAST BEHIND
I SIT AND I WATCH AS MY LIFE PASSES BY
DESOLATE SCHEMES SEND ME UPSTREAM
I FACED THE FACT
I WONT BE ACCEPTED BACK
AND ILL TAKE MY PRIDE
AND WEAR IT AS A BADGE
TROUBLED THOUGHTS
OVERLOADED BY FEAR
FOUR WALLS AND A CEILING
HAUNT ME FOR YEARS
AS VISCOUS AS THEY SAY
WITH ANGER AND PAIN
LOCKED DOWN TO THE BOTTOM
AS I LASH OUT IN SHAME
AND TONIGHT ILL CRY
THROUGH MY HEAVY SWOOLEN BAGGED EYES
DEFEAT IS UGLY AS UGLY AS ME
TROUBLED THOUGHTS
OVERLOADED BY FEAR
FOUR WALLS AND A CEILING
HAUNT ME FOR YEARS
A PAINFUL BLANKET OF FLESH FOR THE TAKING
ATACHED TO THE BONES THAT DONT MESH
IM TIRED OF THE FIGHTING
THE PAINS RECITING
IM STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS
THE LOVE YOU VEIL
THE HEART GONE STALE
IM STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS
IM TIRED OF THE FIGHTING
THE PAINS RECITING
IM STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS

CORRUPTION

CORRUPTION
A NETWORK OF CRIME
EXPLOITATION TAKES AN INFINITE STRIDE
AND TRUTH IS CONFINED
WERE ON THE BRINK
OF IMPENDING COLLAPSE
ENSNARED IN ENGINEERED TRAPS
TO SHAKE THE FOCUS OFF
THE PLAN OF ATTACK
MAYBE ONE DAY
YOULL FIND THE STRENGTH
TO WIPE THE GRIME AWAY
TO SEE THE TRUTH
OF THINGS
YOU DONT NEED PROOF
DISTRACTION
MEDIA LIES
TO SWAY BEHAVIOR TO A MORAL DECLINE
AND ENDLESS DIVIDE
DISTRUCTION
OF CRITICAL THOUGHT
EASILY AMUSED AND DUMMIED DOWN
TO THE POINT OF ABUSE
MAYBE ONE DAY
YOULL FIND THE STRENGTH
TO WIPE THE GRIME AWAY
TO SEE THE TRUTH
OF THINGS
YOU DONT NEED PROOF
CORRUPTION
