Our Decline
03:11
|

|
I saw you stare at your reflection in the window
You reveal more than I want to see
I don’t believe, even though I heard you say
You’re stronger on your own
Shared a thought, had a word with your shadow
It listened long enough to disagree
As I watch the pieces fall, you say:
You’re stronger on your own
You’re better off alone
I walk ahead, but you never want to follow
You’d never travel with a fool like me
I heard you say, when there’s no pain, your heart is hollow
I’m here by myself
I don’t remember when my thoughts became so shallow
Conscience fading with my memory
As the pieces hit the ground, you say:
You’re stronger on your own
You’re better off alone
So keep your pain, and I’ll keep mine
Forget the guilt that we assign
We’ll leave it here, without a fear
‘Cause this is Our Decline

Watch Them Fall
03:11

Heard you saying what you came to say without apology
Watched you losing at the game you play, for lack of honesty
You deceive
Release your poison and hope that we believe
Empty words from a charlatan, a new conspiracy
Captivate and indoctrinate, but it’s your vanity
I despise
Exploit our worries and widen the divide
When the lies you tell finally come back to eat you,
I’ll be watching still
As those you hurt find comfort in your demise
Power to be claimed
Anger to inflame
Apathy to blame for it all
Mission undefined
Blind leading the blind
See the pride, but soon comes the fall
Watch Them Fall

Shelter In Place

Did you see? Did you feel the shame?
Did you stay, did you run, or did you embrace the pain?
Are you ever gonna feel the same?
Is it too far gone to be?
Lock the door, keep the storm outside
Turn away, pull the shade, and we’ll pray for better things
Fall in line, and we’ll march to the beat of the perpetual newsfeed
This is where we’ll stay
Shelter In Place today
We can hide, we can lock ourselves away
We’ve got everything we need in here
Found a place where we’re safe; we never have to fear
And I’ll never look outside again, ’cause the world’s in here with me
This is where we’ll stay
Shelter In Place today
Never go outside
We’ve got everything we need in here…

Misfortune

I don’t want to listen while you waste my time
I can do that on my own
I don’t really want to share my thoughts with you
I’d rather be alone
Heard all the stories of what used to be
In your pathetic history
Seeking confrontations with the friends that you forsake
Talk about yourself again; I’ll try to stay awake
It’s my misfortune that you’re here with me
And I can’t hide my apathy
And I’m disgusted that you’re here with me
But I won’t feed your vanity
Heard all the stories of what used to be
In your pathetic history

Dig Our Graves
01:59

How far are we gonna go?
Now we’re driving to the sun
Are you ever gonna care? she said.
Listen to the road
And the weather in the wind
The radio is mine, I said.
We’ll waste our time
‘Cause it’s everywhere we go.
We’ll dig our graves,
And no one will ever know.
We’ll never turn away;
We’re heading for the end.
No time to take a break, I said.
No reason to complain.
You can find another way.
You can leave it all behind, she said.

How far are we gonna go?
Now we’re driving to the sun.
Are you ever gonna care? she said.
Listen to the road
And the weather in the wind.
The radio is mine, I said, I said.

Among The Dead
03:40
|
|||
|
I’m alive, but I hide Among The Dead
I can read, but I choose to be misread
And I’ll try not to be complicated
I can always be a fool for you
I don’t want this to be overstated
You can disregard my point of view
I can see and still not comprehend
I can love and still not find a friend
You can try not to be aggravated
If I promise not to make a scene
My mouth is early, but my mind’s belated
And you’re always somewhere in between
Then, when history gets in the way,
Words don’t leave me with a thing to say
I can hear it like a voice that’s calling
I can see it like a new day dawning
No one here needs anything from me
I’ll be leaving with my sanity
I can’t think of anything I need from you

No One's Home
02:06
|

Let’s talk about the state I’m in
All I have seen and where I’ve been
The times that get me thinking are the times alone
And I admit it’s true, I guess
My mind’s an incoherent mess
Don’t let the lights deceive you
‘Cause there’s no one home
I thought about you,
About how much I hated you
Every day, the rage in me would grow
I listened to you talking shit
And wondered if you’d ever quit
You bitched and moaned and made me wish I’d stayed at home
You talked so much you’re out of breath
Almost complained yourself to death
No wonder no one likes you, and you’re here alone
While talking to you,
I can see through you
You’re such a clown; you don’t have a clue
I think about you,
I think about how I hate you
And how much I want you to know
I used you up and bled you dry
Now you can go away and die
Forget you ever knew me—just leave me alone
And I admit it’s true, I guess
My mind’s an incoherent mess
Don’t let the lights deceive you
‘Cause there’s no one home
There’s no one home
No one home

Out Of The Blue
02:37

Hostility—the gift you bring me
And how I paid, but this you’ll give for free
We’ve had this conversation
Too many times before
A little agitation
And now it’s total war with you
Out Of The Blue
You blame me for the things I could be
I fell into this trap you set for me
I heard the accusation
And I won’t answer your
Demand for confrontation
But it’s a losing war with you
Out Of The Blue

Cut Down
02:57
|
|||
|
I feel the tension build, and then
You waste your words on me again
And though I struggle to define this feeling,
You’ll get the message that I send
You made your point; your case is strong
But then the insults came along
Now that it’s started, there’ll be no retreating
When neither one of us is wrong
So this is the fight
You promised me tonight
Reason will be the first casualty
Our words cut deep
With no apologies
Cut Down, you’re in the fire with me
The words we abuse
The arguments we choose
To crush what’s left of our dignity
As curses ignite
We’ll laugh just to spite
Cut Down, you’re in the fire with me

Useless
02:31
|
|||
|
Last time I think of this today
I can’t find the words I want to say
No one to thank, no one to blame
Just another day, and I still feel the same
Useless as I seem
Well, I don’t want to know
Found a dream that won’t let go
I woke up long enough to see
Nothing in this mess belongs to me
I took the chance; I knew the cost
Now I can’t take back the time I lost
Lost inside a dream
That still won’t let me go
Worth more than life to me
Now this is all I have to show
From this life I loved so long ago
No one to thank, no one to blame
Just another day, and I still feel the same
Lost inside a dream
That still won’t let me go
Worth more than life to me
Useless as I seem
Well, I still want to know
Found a dream that won’t let go

Monotony
02:46
|

|
So I struggle through another day
You know I always seem to find a way to make it through
How much longer can I wear this face?
Same old story in the same old place
It’s nothing new
I never thought that I could be
Monotony
Nowhere to go, no one to see
I never thought that I would be
Monotony
So this is how it ends for me
Play the games that I don’t want to play
Say the words that I don’t want to say
I stay in line
The price I pay for my security
A testament to the maturity I can’t deny

What To Fear
03:19
|

|
Breakdown, welcome to insanity
Wake up, face the inhumanity
This time, nothing’s gonna save us from you
Tear down everything that came before
Stand up, words will never win this war
This time, nothing’s gonna save us from you
Divided, misguided
By those who taught us What To Fear
Guilty, no one here is innocent
Give up, the argument is impotent
This time, nothing’s gonna save us from you
No shame, no responsibility
Kindness is just a liability
No hope, nothing gonna save us from you
Divided, misguided
By those who taught us What To Fear
Delusion, confusion
Pray to the ones who lead us here
Then disappear
Divided, misguided
By those who taught us What To Fear
Delusion, confusion
Pray to the ones who lead you here
Then disappear
