Sleep Tight (free) 02:02
lyrics
download
In the rain, I'm falling apart Everything that I ever wanted All my days have turned into night Vicissitude imparted Pick up the peices Bleed for me and take away the pain that you had placed inside me You wouldn't believe how far I would go with nothing to show for I want to wrap you up in plastic I want you buried under ground When darkness falls upon the night Oh wont you sleep tight, sleep tight Bleed for me and take away the pain that you had placed inside me You wouldn't believe how far I would go but now I just want you to sleep

The Factory (free) 02:32
lyrics
download
With earth above and earth below End of the line It is the only thing we know for certain So, recoil from mechanical stations Point of being slipping sideways, tenacious All this toil yes, but what's at stake All our suffering stems from excuses I can’t see anything that’s happening I can’t see out beyond the boundaries No one feels on the factory floor (The robots) Manufacturing something to live for Peace is rest Rest is death Death is destiny, our destiny is death I know But not yet Masters that shadow and deceive the violent masses that we expect to be But what's expected? What they expect of me to serve the masters and not to disconnect networks of empires that reign in cruelty I see you beat down beat down by industry So can you feel it? The way it burns inside You've got to stand, decide and keep on fighting now It's coming for everyone No, it's something that can't be out run I feel life slipping, slipping away just like it's being pulled right out from under me I thought I... I thought I had time I need more Peace is rest Rest is death Death is destiny, our destiny is death I know But not yet Peace is rest Peace is rest Peace is rest Rest is death

Persuasion (free) 02:24
lyrics
download
Though you take it as a matter of faith I've seen the useless crumbling heart you rely on Vain yet desperate to be someone else You take the first hand and you get led into the ground Last time exchanged and sold This time you feel like letting go To feel like some one else Last time barely a sound This time I see you breaking down While slipping into the lies Though you take it as a matter of faith I've seen the useless crumbling heart you rely on Vain yet desperate to be someone else You take the first hand of he who tells you you're you You believed it yourself I could tell by the casual air with which you first described him So you sequester yourself Acting like somebody else but you can't tell me that you still buy it And so you awake in the morning You're feeling so banal so common so cold You gather your things up and go Persuasion, it's lure is so strong Persuasion deceives you, your conscience is weak and so it bends You blink and then before you know what might happen's happening You believed it yourself You can't be somebody else You can't be somebody by acting like somebody else You believed it yourself You can't be somebody else You can't be somebody, no you're just yourself

The Well (free) 02:40
lyrics
download
How could she let him go with his back to the well Amazing that he could still swim, considering... How far he fell! Here lies the broken man For all he sacrificed She was the only one He never stood a change Broken in every way She'd taken everything He could not understand The hand that he was dealt It was aces and eights Doomed from the start, it was fate The lie that he lived and the memories made When she was through with him, all that was left Was a broken man Just a broken man His dreams bring him back to the well He's a broken man Just a broken man He tries to forget but his dream bring him back God help the broken man Some how he must move on Restart his life again Erase the painful things Her fading photograph His haunting memories The peices of his life That all remind him of How she could let him go with his back to the well Amazingly he could still swim, considering... She'd Left A Broken man Just a broken man His dreams bring him back to the well He is a broken man Just a broken man It's hard to forget when his dreams bring him back to the well

Kevlar (free) 02:00
lyrics
download
What you took from me What you did to me Taking everything I've ever wanted On my own again I atone again While I retreat in my isolation I wanted to believe But you lied to me But you lied to me Did you ever believe That a love forsaken Comes unbroken I can't bear to see you Cause I still recall the weight of despondence Chest spread bare emotive kevlar off Like a round ripping into my heart If you wanted to I could show you how I could show you how to sail thru time, now If you couldn't care There's something in the air There's something in the air, with doubts about you Cold, feeling of danger It's the time, alright It's the time to cut away Did you ever believe that you ever loved While we're dying I can't bear to see you Cause I still recall the weight of despondence Chest spread bare emotive kevlar off Like a round ripping thru my heart I can't bear to see you Cause I still recall the weight of despondence Chest spread bare emotive kevlar off Like a round ripping into my heart

Departed Hours (free) 03:06
lyrics
download
Despondent eyes on empty walls Malevolent time I let it pass me by Not this time The knell of my departed hours The waining day too short for my distress Creeping dread burning inside Curse time’s fickle glass that breaks me down I wondered in... the moment before I died A moment until we die Oh oh oh oh Apparitions and empty shades Foretelling of endless comfort’s soft conceit panics me This frame shall fall into the dust and with it everything I’ve never done All undone You can not turn back the hands of time Time who despoiled my former self I close my eyes, exhaling softly as the dream escapes me Curse time’s fickle glass that breaks me down I wondered in... the moment before I died A moment until we die Oh oh oh oh Pent beneath the moon in which we drown I hardly lived... a moment before I died In hardly a moment’s time everything goes black
