Turning Back (Part 1)
01:37
|
|||
I use these simple words
To make myself so clear
Transparent to the core
The reason I am here
I pray these shallow prayers
I seek the easy path
Thank God I'm learning quick
Thank God I'm turning back

This the end of the road
Yeah
This is the end of the line
Yeah
Knuckles are bleeding
People left standing
Things worth repeating
Are worth demanding
The right to a fair trial
The right to dismiss it
There must be a reason
For all of this
All the rage in this empty world
Could never stop never stop, never stop
The written word
Hold me close tonight
Cause if it feels okay well then it must be right
Have you got some, can you make some sense?
Hold me close tonight
Cause we're all still here and we're still alive
Have you got some, can you make some sense?
Yeah
Think this, think this, think this through again
What, you, want.
I've been watching the world burn
For some time. Will it ever learn?

Car Full Bee Tray All
02:31

You talk big but you don't fight fair
You want in but you just don't share
Record this, your fist in my mouth
Call me a dentist whilst I spit teeth out
You talk big but you don't fight fair
You want in but you just don't share
Record this, your fist in my mouth
Call me a cancer cause you cut me out
You dish it out but you never receive
Cafe bee tray all as your heart starts to heave
You pay the bills and you live days with ease
From up on your throne, as Queen of the Sleeze
Are you a store, cause you're selling out?
Are you like this when there's no one about?
You pulled the strings to get what you want
And walked away from where you came from
You serve it up but you'll never repent
Your home in Hell is paid for by rent
You sit alone in the dark eating worms
You should've put on your glasses and read all the terms
Get me the the cheque, cause I'm checking out!

All my fellow sinners, raise your…glass
Everything is okay, nothing is all alright
Let's give up on hope
Let's give up on us
When everything is okay, nothing is ever right
When everything is unseen, nothing is out of sight
Let's re-write the definitions, of what is good and bad
We'll swap them around, and force them to bow
Ain't our plan so grand?
Everything's not okay, nothing has been alright
We're all drinking up, from our poised cup
Complaining the night's too bright
So where does the line start, where does it stop?
So where does the mind start and the heart stops?
As the night turns to day
And your hearts start to break
What happened to the innocence we had?
When the daylight arrives
Wipe the sleep from your eyes
You'll might see the life you never lived

Black Cloud
02:26
|
|||
Throw fits like knives across a crowded room
Packed like a freight train, no where to move
Rapture my soul, departed my heart
Rupture my lungs, stopped into start
Hold me still and prepare my soul
There is a black cloud coming just to swallow me whole
I pray you
Hold me still and cleanse me of sin
My Father told me you would come back again

Deny Me
02:42
|
|||
Does a song write itself?
God use me.
Make them squirm.
Can a car drive itself?
You're sure
Just reconfirm
Last time I checked
Things that looked designed
Were.
Last time I checked
Things that looked planned
Were.
Deny me, deny yourself.
Deny yourself, deny what else?

Fall For Anything
01:21
|
|||
Please don't try to stop me now
I'm trying to escape this town of little people little thinkers
Light weight drunkards, small time drinkers
You think you're smart with fragile hearts and
Glass for bones and liberal arts
You sleep awake, a nightmare starts
These fragile bones and bleeding hearts
You gotta stand for something
Or you'll fall for anything
You gotta stand for something
Or you'll fall for anything
Or you'll fall for anything
I'll bide my time until you buy
Sometime until you pay some kind
Of fine for falling out of line
Until I finally speak my mind

Hope in a hopeless mess
Find peace in emptiness
Truth for these final days
Blacks in the whites not grays
Hope in a hopeless place
1st in the human race
Faith in the little things
Faith in the bigger things
Keep your spin for the toy tops never spun
Keep your spin, keep your spin
It was never about a choice.
It was always about covering up
Keep your spin for the papers
Keep your spin, keep your spin
It was never about choice
It was always about the louder voice
CHORUS:
This won't save lives
But might save mine
There is still time
Choose truth, choose life

Black Cloud (Reprise)

Hold me still and prepare my soul
There is a black cloud coming just to swallow me whole
I pray you
Hold me still and cleanse me of sin
My Father told me you would come back again

Where Is God?
03:51
|
|||
I keep keep keep hearing the same old arguments
I keep keep keep hearing the same old same old
Circular reasoning
Straw man arguments
Seriously guys
Are we all still accidents?
Let me get this straight
Love is the law?
Let me get this straight…
CHORUS:
We're painted pictures on bathroom stalls
No less a masterpiece than what we were before
We're painted pictures on bathroom stalls
No less a masterpiece than when we were drawn
Logical fallacies
Repeat sins of Hubris
As you chip away
At blocks of the universe
Circular reasoning
Name calling arguments
Is this your science?
Your arm chair politics
Where is God?
Not in the classroom
Not in the courtroom
Not in the church
Where is God
When disaster strikes?
You call out his name
When reality bites
Where is God
When you push him away?
You deny his existence
Them blame him for pain
Where is God? I think you know
