Sleep Paralysis 08:45
lyrics
buy track
Slow down ‘cause it helps relieve the pressure It leaves you feeling numb Nothing anymore that makes you feel the pleasure Look at what you have become Paralyzed Irrelevant Intimidated Sterilized Malevolent Over sedated Nodding off Searching in sleep for the cure Formation of the wall that you hide in Forfeit your power to feel Seeking solace in your praises and your lost sins Your disadvantage revealed Pain is the only emotion Touching the heart of the void Begging for answers Praying that hope is not lost Repairing the fracture Ignoring the damage it caused Exploring the limits of existence Just to see if you could feel again Pushing back against the resistance Paralysis your last defense

Three Fourths 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Caught up in a strange relationship Of where I'm supposed to be A fraction gaining a dictatorship A truth that’s easy to see Too much power In the hands of the few My life devoured Three-fourths of you When I was just a boy And life was just an adventure There was one thing I wished to avoid I swore I'd never surrender My vow holds true But I’ve been fighting a losing battle Three-fourths failing Called back to the fold To the world they created The walls set to implode Their rule will be dictated

Question 04:28
lyrics
buy track
You think you know Answers to questions Failed to show Never took the suggestion So superior No need for discretion Scarred interior Always pay for concession Here's some advice for you now So listen well It doesn’t matter what you’ve gone through Self-pity's the way to hell So damn condescending A sweet mommy’s boy Beginning of your ending Weakness identified And you just act like you’re crucified Who are you to know? You've never been anywhere Another domino Crying life’s not fair You know I've been there Don't turn away I'm only trying to help you Don't question me, boy

Time and Place 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Exploding through the past Demanding to know why questions were never asked You had to be there Pulling things out of thin air Confusion inside your head Past mistakes or a future dread Looking into a clouded glass Sure of the image right before it collapsed Accepted before the change It doesn’t matter, the truth’s been rearranged You had to be there Pulling things out of thin air Changing the future By erasing the past Placating the consumer We never were that attached

You Kids 03:28
lyrics
buy track
One day I woke up and discovered I was old Nothing had changed except the doors were all now closed How did this happen? Stiil the same as yesterday Some snot-nosed punk told me to get out of the way Walk on Your time in here is done Where did all these kids come from? Disrespected from the morning ‘til the night Out of touch no longer know wrong from right Here's a lesson they haven’t learned just yet Someday they’ll be like me a vessel of regret You kids Just barely out of the crib You’re so full of shit

Generational Warfare 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Everyone is a moron They'll never be as good as us A downward trend for us to ride on Can't take the time to self-adjust Empathy, what the hell is that? You're either for or against us We keep it real, just spitting facts There's nothing left to discuss Hating everyone in the world 'Cause I'm convinced I'm right Forgetting all the lessons I've learned But, then again, I may have lied Generational warfare It's gonna eat us all alive Living out this nightmare Only the strongest will survive

Other People 03:55
lyrics
buy track
Screaming, loudest in the room Dreaming, high upon the fumes Reaching to pull you down again Watch out, it’s never-ending Failing, just trying to do what’s right Scaling, the walls won’t stay upright They know just what to do with you So long, you’re never coming down again Locked in the tower There’s no beginning and there is no end Blister, so suck upon your thumb Filter the things that you’ve become Masses exploding everyday You're lost inside them Fish bowl, such an easy prey Control what you do and say Blindly searching for the edge And they’re always there That’s other people They always bring you down Blessing, it’s always in disguise Guessing, but never on my mind Trouble just around the bend People, they never were your friends I know, I've seen this all before Lied to, shaken to the core Pretend that none of this exists Too bad, you’re never coming down Those other people They always bring you down

Fault 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Lessons you chose to ignore Pathways you didn’t explore You thought it’d be better this way but then You only found a locked door Now everything is a chore You've never been so bored You've given up everything because your’re Always looking for more Wasting and failing and refusing to see That you have already lost Sinking into the hold that you’ve been digging You'll never believe you’re at fault You can’t stand anymore Always completely ignored One day you’ll become like the others who have Not become a whore

Deeper Meaning 07:51
lyrics
buy track
Lulled into a strangled state Unconscious starving, discovered too late The daily toll of a deadly routine Forced in a corner, always caught in between Waves come crashing over The end is getting closer The clock is running slower No more time to give to our Searches for an answer Engaged in endless banter Everyone's become a cancer Fighting my way out of this prison cell For some resolution For a piece of mind I can call my own A deffered conclusion Going deeper into a world below I close my eyes as I drift away In my moment of isolation An exhilaration where I'd like to stay As I face the revelation Watching, I've never seen this before Something I've always ignored A simple shape is beginning to form There's no stopping it now Something I can’t do without Farther and farther I keep heading down Falling Crawling Crushed in the silence Exit through defiance Reaching the core And I still wanted more

The Sad Tale of Cowboy Bob 04:27
lyrics
buy track
My name is Bob, I ride a horse called Slug And we ride the lonesome plain Don’t have a job, but I have my truck It's all I need to dull the pain Voices calling to me Whiskey in my iced tea I don’t know what’s real anymore Scenes from my childhood I never grew up It’s how I like it Just down on my luck You can find me at the bar on a Tuesday night My daddy told me it would be all right It seems that lately everything is a mess Old Slug left me and I have to confess I am losing my mind Close my eyes My demise Wishing it’d all go away Wait, maybe I can get it all back again Hope, I know it’s not real but I can pretend High noon I’m calling out to you Draw your pistol There’s a killing to do Ride into the sunset I’ve got nothing to live for Returning to the plain A shot rings out I’ll never make it to the seashore My whole life’s been in vain Buzzards closing in
