I’m the catalyst
I am injustice
I’m the reason you can’t stop this
I’m a discus
I am desire
I’m the offering thrown into the fire
I’m the answer to your every need
The age-old question locked inside of me
I am redemption
I am disease
I can save you from your misery
I am the seer
I am the slave
I am all and nothing will remain
I am redemption
I am disease
I’ll be the force that brings you to your knees
Turn back rivers
And build a bridge
I will close the space
And get you to the edge
I’m relief
I am the pain
I am the one that brings you to your grave
You tell people you know me
Don’t even know how to live
Everything you ever needed
But you don’t know how to give
The whole world where you’re free
And you chose endless slavery
Bring harm to others
blame a talking snake in a tree
Destroyed everything we found
Cut every single tree down
Just to build another town
Growing markets for gluttony
Destroyed everything we found
Cut every single tree down
Just to build another town
Growing markets for gluttony
I am the ocean
I am the soul
I am the possession you must let go

The newspapers say you were at it again
Think you’re so clever but you’ve lost your head
Try to make us submit but we won’t forget
Cause we all know you’ll just do it again
No one cares about your wall
Keep your laws off my body had enough of your war
You won’t get my vote, you won’t get my soul
You’re acting like we haven’t seen this before
We found out what you did (You fucking chicken fucker)
We all know what you said (Equivocator)
You won’t get control
You little dick-tator (You fucking chicken fucker)
We all know (Equivocator)
Can’t stand the sound of your voice
We’re done with the lies and your disgusting disguise
Straight out of hell and we hate your god
We can love anyone the way that we want
Pockets are padded with the fruits of our labor
They’re giving out guns and putting babies in cages
We have the numbers to take back the power
You’re making us fear one another
We found out what you did (You fucking chicken fucker)
We all know what you said (Equivocator)
You won’t get control
You little dick-tator (You fucking chicken fucker)
We all know (Equivocator)
You take all the money we’re left in the streets
Get off my back I’m a socialist
We won’t ever give you control
You’re wearing us out and you’re fucking us all (Baby Cages)
We found out what you did (You fucking chicken fucker)
We all know what you said (Equivocator)
You won’t get control
You little dick-tator (You fucking chicken fucker)
We all know (Equivocator)
Get off of my nest
Get out of my tree

Time is an island
Meet me there in that dead sea
Find the juice in the vine
Let it pull at the tides
As it’s slipping away
Dry my blood through the vein
This long life of mine shortened by time
Separate from the past
When it began
I threw myself in
All the bridges you burned
All the time that you spent
You’re Feeling it shift
As you’re watching it fade
Takes all the pain
From within
Away from land we’re drifting
Never know how long
Feel the end coming fast
And we want to keep coming back
To that place we belong, we belong
We belong
Time is an island
Meet me there in that dead sea
Find the juice in the vine
Let it pull at the tides
Feel it slipping away
Dry my blood through the vein
Erasing the shame as it enters the skin
Separate from the pain
When it began
I threw myself in
All the bridges you burned
All the time that you spent
You’re Feeling it shift
As you’re watching it fade
Easing the pain
From everything
Away from land we’re drifting
Never know how long
Feel the end coming fast
And we want to keep coming back
To that place we belong, we belong
We belong
Away from land we’re drifting
Never know how long
Feel the end coming fast
And we want to keep coming back
To that place we belong, we belong
We belong

Spirits in the rocks
They’re showing you the way
Making things complete
Remember what they say
You’re only here for a short time
Feel your mortality
Try harder to make it right
What you want this life to be
I’m a tragedy
forgetting I’m just fine
I’m getting in my own way
But I’m growing all the time
I'm just sick of this shit
Not sure how we’ll get through
Nothing ever changes
No matter what we do
I see your face in the stones
As we walk through the coals
And all the blood that spilled
Spirits fall to the ground
I’m a tragedy
Waiting for a break
I get in my own way
But I’m stronger everyday
Driving with you for miles
Your ashes in my hand
I feel your heart in the songs
Remember every breathe
You’re lifted out of my arms
As the last light fades
Tonight all the stars
Will shine your name
My life is not mine
It was always yours to define
My life is not mine
It was always yours to define
My life is not mine
It was always yours to define
My life is not mine
It was always yours to define

At Such A Cost
04:20
|

Pushing it forward
Your body is worn
With all of the running
You cry out for more
Your hands want to hold it
Just step through that door
Time to take action
Or hold out in vain
The crows are still whispering
They remember your name
You found me out
You found me out
You found me out
What you imagined
Could have become
It wasn’t that easy
to give yourself up
It just didn’t happen
What we wanted so much
It was all so sudden
And came at such a cost
You found me out
You found me out
You found me out
In this ribcage
That holds your heart back
Those blackened wings
Are beating fast
All that you offered
Everything that you did
Came with the lesson
Of never again
With all that you came with
And all that you gave
And everything that you said
All went away
We knew it was something
We never let grow
It wasn’t that easy
To let it all go
Your hands want to touch it
Just walk through the door
It's never that simple
Your mind is still torn
Left with confusion
You only want more
You found me out
You found me out
You found me out

Oh you’re a pretty baby
And you have to have your candy
You’re SO cool still in school
The music moves you, but it’s just candy
Should I make it sweet
Give you a treat
So you can eat
All my candy
This could be the one
Just like bubblegum
So you can have your fun
We won’t tell your daddy
Music soft as taffy for your fickle fans
Number-rated plastic band
Then all our songs will be number one
We’ll watch you sing along to all our candy
You might get your respect for one day
But you’ll never last
Cause you're just a flash
They play our songs on the radio
Between all the commercials
What’s the difference anyway?
You’re handing out that candy
We’ve got the contacts we’ve got the contracts
We’ve got the hairspray we’ve got the airplay

Madness

Falling down that hill
As the madness calls
It waits for you still
Until the heart can take no more
When it starts and when it stops
When it stops and when it starts
When it starts and when it stops
When it stops and when it starts
You could feel it all along
The beating of your heart
You just got it all wrong
How it starts and how it stops
Oh when the madness calls
You knew it all along
Running down that hill
You just got it all wrong
When it starts and when it stops
When it stops and when it starts
When it starts and when it stops
When it stops and when it starts
The pull before you leave
Only brings you more
They just wanted you to be
Who you claimed you were
Shut down the heart
Wait until the day
When you find yourself
As you walk away
When it starts and when it stops
When it stops and when it starts
When it starts and when it stops
When it stops and when it starts
Falling down that hill
As the madness calls
It waits for you still
Until the heart can take no more

Fast Lane
02:57
|

Between all the uploads and traffic jams
We’re forced to be silent
And listen to the world as it is
They’re making us buy it
We struggle to stay alive
Under all this carbon monoxide
Forced to upgrade
Download and accumulate
Your road is paved
With only a fast lane
We think we can make it
Through the chaos and doubt
Hit or miss
Til something gives in
We’re all waiting
Waiting to see what happens
Will we all make it
Will we slow down
Your road is paved
With only a fast lane
Traffic lets up
Before it's too much
The anger subsides
As the wheels start to glide
Just too many people
Stand in the way
Caught in this cage
Of capital gain
Reduce to survive
Are we even alive
Live in anxiety
Rely on technology
We need to give in
Never before and never again
Reduce to survive
Are we even alive
Live in anxiety
Rely on technology
We never give in
Never before and never again
Live in anxiety
Rely on Technology
We never give in
Never before and never again

The way this water flows
Seems as if it’s over
Gasping at the oxygen
That’s passing right in front of him
Two ears with nothing in between
East and West where we see, hear and feel
We drink before the toast
Even when the wine is gone
Nothing that lives will last
He cannot wait until its gone
All the sunsets are manmade
They’re much prettier that way
Every drop drained til the ground caves in
He takes and he takes, and we tag along with him
Making flags with shells of false belief
That this gentleman stands on his own two feet
Love ourselves into loneliness
We speak as if some drug can bring it back
Eyes burning as his fingers take
His engines roar crying for their fuel
Nothing that lives will last
He cannot wait until it’s gone
All the sunsets are manmade
They’re much prettier that way
From the start it was never meant to be great
He cannot wait until it’s gone
Everything that lives won’t last
Never to be seen again

12345678
I’m feeling it again
The world is closing in
There’s no place left
For anything to exist
Cities like deserts
People thirsty for water
Praying for rain
Hear only thunder
12345678
Even though we’re surrounded
We stand separated
By all of the weapons
We’ve accumulated
I’m dreaming it again
The war is closing in
Buildings burning
Power surging
The sky is falling
Children are dying
Meanwhile denying
We are killing it all
Cities so big we can no longer sleep
Nothing left in the skyline
Except for tall square buildings
Trying to get away from the Earth we’re screwing
We’re expanding taking over space
And out here the ground shakes
As we try to walk straight
A jewel at the end of a golden thread
Man becomes master
Playing god changing matter
Lack of conscience nothing left behind
In any dark corner of his mind
Are we moving forward
Are we moving backwards
Does it even matter
Just pay the rent
Now, then, never our consent
Everyone is so tragic
So much is chaotic
Lives are not lived
Only misguided
I’m feeling it again
The world is closing in
There’s no place left
For anything to exist
You're already dead
You just don't know it yet
You're already dead
You just don't know it yet
