Fear My Reign
06:18
|
|||
Darkness is all around me
Concealing all I feel
Bury the pain within me
A scar that’s left to heal
Mocking me with their laughter
Pretending not to hear
Keeping up the illusion
A lighter cross to bear
Watching me suffer
Down on my knees
Hand on my throat
Harder you squeeze
Everything fades
Turn out the lights
Hold our your hand
Ending my plight
Now it’s all coming back
The light floods in
Tormented by my master
Taught how to behave
Scars run down my back
Labeling me his slave
Revolt is on my mind
He will know my pain
He will wear these chains
And he will fear my reign
Fear my reign

Dead and Gone
05:44
|
|||
Turn out the lights
Tonight you sleep alone
Curl in a ball
And stare at the phone
The phone stays silent
You let out a sigh
And then turn to the photo
The last breath of you and I
I miss what’s dead and gone
I just can’t move on
Drawing blood from a stone
I just have to try
Am I looking for an answer
Or just feeding a lie?
I miss what’s dead and gone
I just can’t move on
This tunnels caving in
Escape is growing thin

Losing Sight
05:49
|
|||
Made it through another day
But somehow I’ve lost my way
Looking back all this time
I’m losing what I thought was mine
I Just want be alone
I’m doing fine on my own
Every day I fade
Just can’t take anymore
I’m just somebody else
Who doesn’t know what he’s for
I’ve lost sight of what I’m doing here
(Feels like I’ve been here before)
My dreams they no longer adhere
(Lost all that I adore)
Feels like I’m going blind
(Just can’t see any more)
Darkness is all I find
(What am I here for?)
I just want to belong
Am I doing this wrong
I’m running away
Just can’t face anymore
Trying to escape
But I can’t find the door
Every day I fade
(Every day I fade)
Just can’t take anymore
(I just can’t take anymore)
I’m just somebody else
(I’m just another man)
Who doesn’t know what he’s for
Doesn’t know what he’s for

Evolve

I’m not really here today
My consciousness has gone away
An Illusion is what I’ve become
A realisation that leaves numb
Something’s better left unsaid
Are running now through my head
So they the words they want to hear
Just never let them see a tear

King and Country
10:07
|
|||
Standing in the dark
Waiting for his return
Waiting by herself
She watches the candles burn
It’s been so long
His face now a memory
They took him away
Before they could ever be
She feels him near
But he is no longer there
She feels lost within
As her heart sinks in
She doesn’t know who she is anymore
She doesn’t know what her life is for
She is lost not found now he has turned around
Now all she loved has drowned
He drowned
Once upon a time, you were mine
But life goes on its fine
It’s fine

Last Regrets
05:33
|
|||
Last regrets they come, easy now
Memories fading out, somehow
Waiting you can feel it, feel it now
The years etched across,
your fading brow
Can you feel her drawing near?
All your dreams and all your fear
You can’t wait to see her again
But first you must see the end
Alone for so long,
so many years
Since she left your side
left only tears
Now you can decide
what is your fate
To be by her side
or sit and wait
Can you feel her drawing near?
All your dreams and all your fear
You can’t wait to see her again
But first you must see the end
And now the choices
What will you sacrifice?
Will you choose to stay?
Will you roll the dice?
You hear voices
Yet you have to think twice
What else can you say?
Is it time to pay the price?
You gave up everything, all in vain
Lost forever, like tears in the rain
Can you feel her distant now?
All your dreams,
they’re gone somehow
You can’t wait to see her again
But first you must see the end

Safe In The Dark
07:01
|
|||
Walking alone at the edge of the park
I stick to the shadows safe in the dark
Curious glance I shuffle along
Nothing is normal but is nothing wrong
My mind is hazy but I carry on
Voices inside me
But soon they’ll be gone
Water looks cold, surface is black
Once I go in there’s no coming back
A nervous sweat, lips to shake
Secrets lurk deep in this lake
What’s done is done I must carry on
Voices are loud
But soon they’ll be gone
A frail whisper brings silence within me
I search for an ending to this insanity
Wake in a nightmare
What have I done?
There’s blood on my hands
Now I start to run
The voices have stopped now
But I’m not at ease
This hatred runs through me
Like a disease
Running away
You can’t run away
Running away
You can’t run away

Heart Of Stone
06:30
|
|||
Slowly disintegrated
Everyone I love has gone
I feel lost and confused
I don’t know how to move on
You were never there for me
You were never meant for me
Scars leave reminders of pain
Scars that will never heal
Warm tears run down my face
Tears that remind me I can feel
You were never there for me
You were never meant for me
You were never there for me
You were never meant for me
Without you I amount to nothing
Without you I am truly alone
And I’m all by myself
In a world with a heart of stone
Just let me leave this place

Outbreak
06:04
|
|||
Feeling like I’m sinking
Fatigued from all this thinking
Walking without purpose
Head bowed with my clenched fist
I know that you’re waiting
For someone to take you away
And as you look back at me
You can watch me slowly decay
My reflection looks so hollow
Full of loss and sorrow
I’m just waiting for tomorrow
Where things might finally
change for me
Waiting for the rain
To wash away my pain
It’s driving me insane
This outbreak won’t contain again

The Last of My Kind
06:28
|
|||
You set me up to fail my friend
You put me down time and again
Once again I fall for the ruse
When I play your game
I’m destined to lose
It’s over, all your game and lies
They’re over, now I say goodbye
You know I’m the last of my kind
I won’t let you poison my mind
So now you see the table have turned
You try to mend
The bridges you’ve burned
Now you see there’s no way out
You’re just a memory I can live without
It’s over, all your game and lies
They’re over, now I say goodbye
You know I’m the last of my kind
I won’t let you bring me to demise
You bring me demise
You’re so easy to deceive
You can go but never leave
Stuck in the web that they weave
Now they leave you to believe
On your hands and knees you pray
You have no choice but to stay
So you put the past away
And they leave you to decay
It’s over, all your game and lies
They’re over, now I say goodbye
You know I’m the last of my kind
I won’t let you fuck my mind
