Standing Tide
04:29

As I stood there on the shore, I felt the tides come in to wash away my remorse./And all
of the things that kept me up at night – /So frightening, disappeared beneath the breaking
waves./Well I could marvel at it all and scan the lines between, but I know this world has
nothing left for me./Fear; fear of the unknown sets in./(What will I find when I’m) down
below, the ebb and flow of all thoughts –/Threatening to overtake./Send me down, I can’t
think of them anymore!/And I can’t let my guard down/The sound of oceanic terrors
drawing near –it’s clear that I can’t do this alone./My mind breaks under the strain,
calling me back up to the surface once again./Through darkened seas you may hear my
screams –/I’ve changed the man that I used to be./All these scattered memories.../(I can’t
begin to under)stand what’s real and what’s concealed behind/These jaded eyes./And if
you could see/The way I’m bleeding/From this wound so deep/So deep it cannot heal/
My mind breaks under the strain, calling me back up to the surface once again/Through
darkened seas, you may hear my screams –/I’ve changed the man that I used to be./(I
swam so far below)/Send me down/I can’t think of them anymore.

Forward Motion

Walk, you fucking pigs!/Do you feel regret now?/This is your deepest wound/I won’t fall
to hindsight –/It’s you the devil’s swooned/Sever this connection from down below/It’s
time to act out answers; let your true face show/All along you could not see what was
twisting through your mind/The urge to fulfill all those primal needs in the absence of
what you deny/I can’t save you now, you’ve been drowning for too long/Why can’t you
see that you’re just another pawn?/When solace seems so out of reach (You’re not trying,
you’re not trying)/Then nothing will ever change/At last, we’ll show you this lie you’ve
been living through/This one dies tonight; it’s time/Denounce your false modesty/Under
the seams you’re breathing; you’re bleeding/You look to me for answers – your reflection
is the key, and I cannot help you now/I can’t save you now, you’ve been drowning for
too long/Why can’t you see that you’re just another pawn?/When solace seems so out of
reach (You’re not trying, you’re not trying)/Then nothing will ever change…

Don't Hold Back
06:24
|

Growing deep inside, it twists and it turns as it leaves me to die on this altar cloaked in
white/No time for remorse as it grows from the roots to the spine –/and all I have is time,
slowly wasting away right before my eyes/Now give me the strength to rise, and take
back the time I’ve lost/And when the cold inside starts dragging you down below, you’re
counting down the days/And when your life hangs by a thread, you can’t hold back –
/Don’t hold back/Faced with a choice, a man without a voice; forcing these thoughts near,
the needle becomes so clear (As poison flows through my veins)/Faced with a choice, a
man without a voice; forcing these thoughts near (Driving my thoughts insane), the
needle becomes so clear/I won’t fall to my knees/A victim of your disease/And when the cold inside starts dragging you down below/You’re counting down the days/And when
your life hangs by a thread, you can’t hold back/You’re counting down the days, and
when your life hangs by a thread, you can’t hold back –/Don’t hold back.

From Within
07:05
|

Lost, drifting away, and no one can see what’s happening to you/As hard as it seems, you
must remember how you ended up this way/Show me what happened on that fateful day
–/Make it all go away/The light follows me back from where I had come, shattering
perception/Enter the beast that tries to devour – I think it looks just like me/Am I to face
this on my own, or are you there with me?/I can’t seem to remember what caused this
state of mind/I’m losing myself and I cannot decide/You’ve got to hold on, you’ve got to
stay strong/Hold on to yourself/When everything’s wrong and you’re losing your mind,
no one can tell that you are falling into a routine now defamed/Sanity starts to
degrade/Silence has never touched my ears more than in this state, I cannot escape from
what I must transcend/No more running away/And I’m alive/Or at least as alive as I
thought I’d be/You never knew I was fighting from within, but you were there in the
end/I’m in here, can’t you realize?/I’m carrying the weight of it all/Through these blurry
eyes I can barely see/The faces that surround don’t seem to recognize me/Shut out their
eyes, shut out their eyes – tell them all that it will be okay if they just keep breathing/
Show me the light, show me the light – I’m just a cadaver lost; what is this I’m feeling?/
No, this world isn’t real, nothing I feel is my own/Repressed memories resurge to the root
of the pain –Stained;/Strained is my mind, it’s hollowed my veins as they called out my
name in desperation/Is it a sin to end this life? I could be on to something…/And I’m
alive/Or at least as alive as I thought I’d be/You never knew I was fighting from within,
but you were there in the end/Take, take me away, I cannot stay here – I’m not gonna
make it!/Take, take it away, I will not stay while this monster controls my brain/I’m
alive, I’m alive, I’m alive today

Balance
04:17
|

(So cold, so cold, so ever cold) They’re all standing around me staring, but I feel
nothing/Her eyes grew colder by the minute, but all is absolved/The errors of our
forefathers are erased through sacred rite/A pilgrimage to find balance – balance?
Pathetic, unreal/Consume, forget, lose vigor, regret – twisting and turning through mazes
of glass/Ward off the pain, a slate marred with stains, forever forgetting the valleys of
death/Poison, coursing through my veins – take me away/Snow fall cover all my shames
– block out the day/And I cannot remember when I lost all control; I was falling apart at
the seams and no one could ever know/Show me your eyes/And wait for me to
compromise/Show me your eyes/I promise you we’ll get through this alive/In faith I
stand alone, but I cannot remain/Your selfishness is suffocating me/Pull back to find a
sense of – balance is all I need/Pull back to find a sense of balance/Pull back to find a
sense of balance/Balance me/Balance me
