Hero 05:56
One stop to see the horizon A never ending fantasy One man, he sees something in you With little clue what it could be No idea of who you are What compelled you to come this far Close your eyes forever now You’ll find your way somehow Put all your faith in the monsters Who take you where you need to go Almost unreal, yet you feel Like it so close to your soul No idea of what you were What once was is now a blur Fight the doubts and face your fears No going back now, hear? Do you want to be a hero? Try to close your eyes, Dreams will come alive Feel the power brewing in you A different point of view Of what you thought you knew Do you want to be a hero? Let your tears cascade The property of fate Listen up, you’ve got it in you Try to stay alive In this afterlife! No idea of who you are What compelled you to come this far Close your eyes forever now You’ll find your way somehow Do you want to be a hero? Try to close your eyes, Dreams will come alive Feel the power brewing in you A different point of view Of what you thought you knew Do you want to be a hero? Let your tears cascade The property of hate Listen up, you’ve got it in you Try to stay alive In this afterlife!

Bittersweet 04:46
Tell me, can you see this fear i know so well Seeping out from underneath the mask I try to sell once a glimmer, but with life and age i fell Stuck in this illusion, in an air i can’t dispel I wanna break free of the mem’ries that I’ve made Under the plastic sky, just dying to be saved But It’s not my time, and i know it’s not the way Yeah it’s bittersweet, but what else is there to say? Knowing someday soon, I’ll find freedom in the end But for now I sit and wait for this cycle to begin once again Feel the pressure in this vacuum i call home Void of my emotion, I just wanna be alone Tired anger, as the static turns to tone Ringing in my mind until it seems it’s all I’ve known All’s well that ends well, yet were stuck here in this scene Playing like a rerun in a never ending dream Still It’s not my time, and i know it’s not the way Yeah it’s bittersweet, but what else is there to say? Knowing someday soon, I’ll find freedom in the end But for now I sit and wait for this cycle to begin once again Life waits for no one, or so I fear Yeah It’s not my time, and i know it’s not the way Yeah it’s bittersweet, but what else is there to say? Knowing someday soon, I’ll find freedom in the end But for now I sit and wait for this cycle to begin once again

Disciple 05:28
Everything will fade to grey Nothing’s sticking in my head, anyway As I lay in sheer dismay Of the world I’ve built for myself day after day it’s Not unreasonable to be so miserably when Everything I’ve done has landed me this way Silent overdrive of all my thoughts inside, I I wanna shout out, but I don’t know what to say I know you wanna hear I’m fine But that’s just not the truth this time You treat my sorrow like a crime But I’m tired of trying, tired of dying They say these things are meant to be But all I know is misery I’m showing you the best of me But I’m tired of trying, tired of lying to you While I etch my life in stone With a fist full of sand to bury all I’ve known Drink the sweat and tears off all my dreams and all my fears And as it all comes down (and down, and down, and down) Everything has come apart, Now I’m back here at the start And though I’m promised it gets better, I’ve made failure an art Why do you put up with my tries, They might as well have all been lies With all the shit in which I thrive, It’s a wonder I’m alive! I know you wanna hear I’m fine But that’s just not the truth this time You treat my sorrow like a crime But I’m tired of trying, tired of dying They say these things are meant to be But all I know is misery I’m showing you the best of me But I’m tired of trying, tired of lying to you Every time I close my eyes, I see all that i despise every memory of mine that has worn me over time Crushing every dream I know, let the vines begin to grow Overtaking all I see, like a toxic melody I am not your new messiah I will never take you higher Don’t you put your trust in me If you ever want to see I will simply put it in you, all the hate that I have been through Keep away, or you’ll stay, and your life will rot away

So I'm Told 06:17
In spite of all the things I've said I find myself so weak The light is quickly fading as my soul becomes antique and in this hour of darkness All the ones i've loved are gone They ran away from something But I just can't see what's wrong The lives that slip on by me take a turn for the worst My friends call me an asshole, while my family calls me cursed And in my paranoia, I just push away the blame And if I try to fake it, It'll just end all the same Blinded by the absence of my fatal wish for glory Sitting here upon my throne, no chance to say I'm sorry Apologize for all the lies and anger that i've made But watch me cross my fingers to all the dreams that i've betrayed Tired at the world, I shake my fist to set me free But in my house of mirrors, my reflections all I see I never see the promise, just the faults that cause me rage So batter me inside my head, inside my rusty cage Fuck the world and all it's promise God, I wish I wasn't on it Not my fault that all this misery Is all I have to show If I think of what is missing I'll Give my cries another listen 'Cause it's getting old Or So I'm told Fuck the world and all it's promise God, I wish I wasn't on it Not my fault that all this misery Is all I have to show If I think of what is missing I'll Give my cries another listen 'Cause it's getting old Or So I'm told
