What You Hoped To Find
07:03
|
|||
See the fire in your eyes
Try to sigh before you go again
Before you go again
Lightning breaking your disguise,
Silence livens all you know again
All you know again
Blame yourself for having faith
Blaming her for what you've done again
What you've done again
Like a dagger in your heart
Bleeding through, you're on the run again
On the run again
Is it really worth the torment
Is it really worth the price
Now you're nothing but a shadow of the mare you used to be
And isn't it nice?
Can you tell me why you did it?
Sold your soul and sold your mind?
Is revenge for the humiliation worth it in the end?
Is it what you hoped to find?
Raise your head and call her out
Showing off what you've become again
What you've become again
(Feeding all my wildest dreams)
Challenge her without a doubt
Knowing that you will have won again
Will have won again
(Soul is tearing at the seams)
Things will never be the same
Time to have a little fun again
A little fun again
(I feel it ripping at my core)
So cast your spell and weave your fame
Revel in the all you've done again
All you've done again
(But I can't help from wanting more)
So is it really worth the torment
Is it really worth the price
Now you're nothing but a shadow of the mare you used to be
And isn't it nice?
Can you tell me why you did it?
Sold your soul and sold your mind?
Is revenge for the humiliation worth it in the end?
Was it what you hoped to find?
Break
Let's go
So is it really worth the torment
Is it really worth the price
Now you're nothing but a shadow of the mare you used to be
And isn't it nice?
Can you tell me why you did it?
Sold your soul and sold your mind?
Is revenge for the humiliation worth it in the end?
Was it what you hoped to find?
Was it what you hoped to find?

One Wish
09:57
|
|||
Make a wish upon a star, and smile the pain away
Ain’t just a simple thing, ‘cause you want everything
Paying for the little lies, with nothing left to say
You’ve sold your soul to me, a life of misery
Everybody’s past mistakes all for you to view
Still you ignore the signs, while tripping toes and lines
And now we’re at the end, We’re both alone, my friend
Now you’d trade everything to start it all again
In the dark, of the moon you, you try to be alive
In the back of your mind, you fight just to survive
All around you in the dark, all you hear and see
Are the faces and voices, telling you how to be
(Can’t find the light, one wish tonight
It’s never right, one wish tonight)
Fail to see this pleading spree
Contributes to your misery
Standards high, you want to die
You’re desperate to just be free
Are you right? Is it worth the fight?
So take your chance as you make your wish tonight
Step back and take in the anger
That's bleeding through your soul
One moment poised for the taking
The next, you need to go
One question burning inside you
One answer you'll never find
Look up and hope for the guidance
You needed all this time
So take a step in the wild
And let it fill your mind
The madness born in shadows
Causing you to unwind
So look inside for the one thing
You want above all else
Something you'll want to die for
Or even sell yourself
BREAK
Take a look what's behind you
RUN
Better not let it find you
FLY
Better not stop to rest
GO
WELCOME TO THE FUCKING FOREST
Sign here, Let me take control
Blinded by the things you'll know
No taking back what once was yours
Your sanity's not for this cause
There's burning passion in your eyes
So let it fuel our compromise
Catastrophic tendencies to burn away the flames
You once had held so high, and now you watch them die
No one sees your motivations, can’t perceive end
With this, you’ve lost your will, a final mental kill
Taking root inside the forest deep within your mind
You wander in the night for something burning bright
But now the fire’s dead, you’re left within your head
And so you scream up high; the heavens miss your cry
In the dark, of the moon you, you try to be alive
In the back of your mind, you fight just to survive
All around you in the dark, all you hear and see
Are the faces and voices, telling you how to be
(Can’t find the light, one wish tonight
It’s never right, one wish tonight)
Fail to see this pleading spree
Contributes to your misery
In the light, you’re burning bright
As you choke back tears with all your might
Are you right? Is it worth the fight?
Well take your chance as you make your wish tonight

A Turn For The Worse
15:43
|
|||
Something cryptic lying, turning in the cold
Some strange mystery spinning on despite what we were told
Beauty kept away from mortal eye
Hidden deep within the arms of forestry and lies
Practicing the silence in my curse
Bit by bit, I swallowed it - It couldn’t get any worse
Held in place by brilliant power unknown
Taught, in place, my life’s a waste
Forever here alone
It’s all the same
Oh, for years and years, it’s always held its claim
Hear the whispers screaming, tauntingly:
“Come to us, you’re one of us
This is where you’re meant to be.”
Almost out of place while at first glance
Tired hooves attracted to it; quick from trot to raring prance
Once a pony touches it, then pain is all he knows
Cold assimilation is the curse that it bestows
Still I feel the burning in my spine
Rods of bloody iron keep me captive throughout time
Spinning round in circles, endless cycles I despise
While hidden deep within the arms of forestry and lies
It’s all the same
For years and years, and fucking years
It’s always held its claim
Nothing ever changes, while we’re fading at the heart
Wish I could be free of this, but I don’t know where to start
Suffer out now
Suffer out now
Suffer out now
Suffer out now
How'd I get here? I don't know
Something showed me where to go
Why'd I run away from home?
Why'd I venture here?
Saw spirals in the sky
Crept into me, mesmerized
Fell for all its silly lies
Now I'm trapped in fear
What's this before my eyes?
Why am I so hypnotized
Took the bait, and, walking in,
Gave my fate into my sin.
Feel its grasp, chained frustration
Eyes wide in revelation
Now just mental masturbation
I can't leave, no, I can't stay
Putrid smell of halted necrosis
Why have I been forced to endure this
Am I dead? I can't find a reason
Why must feel this through every season
Spinning out, keep on going
With no earthly way of knowing
Ride the carousel with me
and give in to our misery
You're now one of us
So beautiful, so dangerous
We'll keep you down, we'll keep you still
We'll take away your freedom of will
One of us
One of us
One of us
One of us
Round and round and round it goes
Where it stops I never may know
Living for eternity
Blind from life, but I still can see
Hear the engines grind and steam
While skewered on my golden beam
Hellish fires behind our eyes
Reflecting on our lives
Kill me, free me, please can you see me?
Stay away if you want to die
Kill me, free me, please can you see me?
Living forever is just a painful lie
It's all the same
For years, and years, and fucking years, it's always held its claim
Nothing ever changes, while we're fading at the heart
Wish I could be free of this, but I don't know where to start

Nothing
08:37
|
|||
I am afraid of what I could do
I feel alive, this is something new
Tighten the veins that it’s coursing through
Feel the power, hunger, too
Blink for a moment, then it’s gone
Wonder so fleeting it feels wrong
Trying to grasp it, it slips through your hand
Feel the power, highest demand
Feel the power, best you can
Strike me down, away
Now I’m nothing without you
What am I supposed to do
Take it up today
Now I’m nothing without you
Give me everything I knew
I crave you, I need to stay alive
Worth an ounce of golden hell
Which you’re desperate to sell
Every insight, every smile
Only lasts a little while
Close your eyes and take it deep
Speed the pulse you crave to keep
Live forever in your head
Feel the power, nothing said
Feel the power, cut the thread
Strike me down, away
Now I’m nothing without you
What am I supposed to do
Take it up today
Now I’m nothing without you
Give me everything I knew
I crave you, I need to stay alive
Sterilize your vivid dreams
Hyperventilated screams
Here the echo say you’re fine
Feel the power, see the line
Feel the power, now you’re mine
I’m alive, I am nothing
I’m alive, I am nothing
I’m alive, I am nothing
I’m alive, I am nothing

The Reflection
06:12
|
|||
Silent in the night
A ripple at first light
A problem coming clear
To many things to do
I thought then that I knew
Solutions on the rise
Inside
After several tries
I learned of ancient ties
And ventures forth to seize
This opportunity
Won't let it slip by me
Until it was too late for me
Tried to be
I know what went wrong
Pulled myself along for the ride
What could this be
When my reflection became me
Not a shed of self control
While I'm wringing out my soul
It's too late to turn away
A part of me, now more
Think I've seen this all before
Should have seen the end when it began
Instead I swam
With the panic in the air
Reaching hights we couldn't bare
So they tried to right my wrongs
Put them back where they belong
Took a risk to bring my end
All to satisfied my friends
I tried, now petrified
Behind the light
(So the story goes)
Gone now from making it right
My end I paved
(So the story goes)
Just soft reflections in the waves
Believing I had won
I smiled at the sun
My pride welled up in me
Turns out it was my fall
A mistake after all...
So now I've seen my ways
The reflection slowly fades
And I slowly fade away
And I slowly fade away

Silent Still
07:01
|
|||
They want it silent
They want it cold
Call them outdated
They say they're bold
Nothing can save you
When nightfall comes
Don't try to fight it
Just fucking run
A place in ruins
So lost in time
you can't escape it
You've crossed the borderline
Save me, see me, why can't I go
Feel the ashes of all I know
Tired, lonely, losing my will
Ages later, it seems were are silent still
A dark assortment
Of troubled lives
All congregated
In their demise
A quiet auction of the souls of the damned
The repercussions of a backfired plan
So peel the skin back, suffer all their past sins
'Cause in the fires of hell, it seems nobody fucking wins
Save me, see me, why can't I go
Feel the ashes of all I know
Tired, lonely, losing my will
Ages later, it seems were are silent still
Save me, see me, why can't I go
Feel the ashes of all I know
Tired, lonely, losing my will
Ages later, it seems were are silent still

Everchanging
06:07
|
|||
Standing in an ever-changing landscape I despise
Can’t look back to take it in
Feel it burn beneath my skin
Coursing through my ever-straining veins for all my life
Bring me to insanity
Love has taken over me
Want to taste what I can’t find
Has harsh desire made me blind?
I’ll hold on, ‘til the light breaks through
Just hold on, Till I know what to do
The loneliness makes my heart divide
Longing for a place I can reside
To fill the holes inside
Show me just an ever-longing glimpse of paradise
Held down when I need to run
One step from oblivion
Silent when an ever-lasting scream builds up inside
Desperate for the one I love
No help from the stars above
Darkness now my only friend
Take me to that place again
And hold on, ‘til the light breaks through
Just hold on, In the dark I always knew
The loneliness makes my heart divide
Longing for a place I can reside
To fill the holes inside
I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid to let you out
I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid, and so I doubt
I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid to take it in
I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid of what I’ve been
I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid to let you out
I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid, and so I doubt
I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid, so I go on
I’m afraid, I’m afraid, I’m afraid of what I’ve done!
So is it really worth the torment?
GO!
Can It stop, can you wake me from all I dream
Try to cry, try to feel myself beckoning
Feel the holes buried deep in me, can’t you see
I am so unsure, What I am anymore

The Other Side
06:18
|
|||
Take the time to make it right
As the light moves on
Feelings change, seasons die
Fade into the sun
Chaos grows, and she knows
Entropy had won
Hold them back, teach them well
Fading from the sun
Something old, something new
Change is on the rise
Something brash, nothing’s true
Reaching their demise
Holding ground, stating claims
Changing right from wrong
Catching on, taking out
Lasting for how long?
Oh, on the other side,
(The place where we belong, the place where we belong)
There’s nowhere to hide
From her sight!
Oh, you can run away,
(But where do we belong, but where do we belong)
But there’s nowhere to stay
Out of the light!
Scare them all, pump the veins
Tear their souls in two
Gain your state and followers
All you can accrue
Feed them lies, sever ties
All you feel you need
Keep ‘em cold, but keep ‘em fed
To sever any lead
Oh, on the other side,
(The place where we belong, the place where we belong)
There’s nowhere to hide
From her sight!
Oh, you can run away,
(But where do we belong, but where do we belong)
But there’s nowhere to stay
Out of the light!
Go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
There's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to hide, there's nowhere to hide
What have I done, what have I done, I’m all alone, I’m just a party of one

The Final Trees
02:10
|
|||
So was it really worth the torment?
in the end, there’s nothing gained
Tried your hardest, put your heart and soul to banishing the dark
Just to find it all remained
Could you ever be forgiven
By the bridges that you burned?
Feeling something great and powerful inside you breaking free
Tell me, what is it you’ve learned?
Tell me all that you have earned…
