1.Wake Up
Our lives are entwined, can't escape
But you and I have never met face to face
Still I can't get away
Think that you can just step right in
Push me out and then fuck things all up again
It never seems to end
Do you think that you're better than me
You better wake up 'cause you know it's a lie
Do you think that you're better than me
You better wake up
Cling to skeletons, fearing change
Paralyzed thinking what the future will bring
Pure adrenaline, I tear in
Hatred is my fuel
Truth dissects you again
And you've run out of friends
Do you think that you're better than me
You better wake up 'cause you know it's a lie
Do you think that you're better than me
You better wake up
And now it's time, the countdown begins
Extracting the truth, what was from what is
And once and for all we lay it to rest
And never look back again
I can't believe all the things done to me
Sight unseen
You don't know one fucking thing but you
Judge me
Do you think that you're better than me
You better wake up 'cause you know it's a lie
Do you think that you're better than me
You better wake up
2.Breathing New Life
Can you feel it building
Devastation is on the way
Feel the hair on the back of your neck
As the rush begins
You can't take it away
I earned this with sweat and blood
You can't take it away
Take what's mine
Breathing new life back into me
Challenging all the powers that be
Can you feel it slipping
As you lose your grip on me
Can you face that I won in the end
I can't keep from laughing
You can't take it away
I earned this with sweat and blood
You can't take it away
Take what's mine
Breathing new life back into me
Challenging all the powers that be
Breathing new life back into me
Challenging all the powers that be
Don't you see it coming
When you've caught on, it's too late
When it hits, don't forget who I am
Don't forget this face
You can't take it away
I earned this with sweat and blood
You can't take it away
Take what's mine
Breathing new life back into me
Challenging all the powers that be
Breathing new life back into me
Challenging all the powers that be
3.New Found Power
Why have we waited so long
Suppressing the power inside
Tear away all that was wrong
Something too massive to hide
It's time to rip the chain from your neck
Let go the past as you purge
Free now from everything weighing you down
Open the floodgates and surge with
New found power
Cleansing yourself of the past
Learn from mistakes and move on
Conquering new ground at last
Unite and become twice as strong
It's time to rip the chain from your neck
Let go the past as you purge
Free now from everything weighing you down
Open the floodgates and surge with
New found power
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Hope was all that kept me sane
Rise above and prove myself
I'll survive without your help
Shut you out, my strength comes from within
New found power
4.Pride
I'm sickened
I know I've been betrayed
But I keep ignoring
The warning signs
You tell me
That I'm not beneath you
But you act above me
Knives in my spine
Now with all the money in the world
You can't buy my respect
Yeah, it's just a matter of pride
But that's all I've got left
I reach up
For your hand as you stand
Looking down on me but
You turn your back
Now with all the money in the world
You can't buy my respect
Yeah, it's just a matter of pride
But that's all I've got left
5.Fuck You
Fuck you I'm through
I want nothing more from you
My sanity is wearing thin
I rate, I hate
You determined your own fate
Now everything is caving in
Fuck your power trip and
Fuck your attitude and
Fuck your bloated ego too
Fuck your history, your tragedy, your misery
But most of all...fuck you!
Fuck this, all of this
Bitch and moan and bleed and piss
Seconds away from goin' down
Go ahead and push me
Your fakery, your butchery
Is nothing compared to my hate for you
Fuck your apathy and
Fuck your empathy and
Fuck your nihilism, too
Fuck your bitter pills, take 'em all, you never will
But most of all...fuck you!
Nothing changes, nothing fazes, nothing stays the same
Fuck your power trip and
Fuck your attitude and
Fuck your bloated ego too
Fuck your history, your tragedy, your misery
But most of all...motherfucker fuck you!
6.Reborn
Identity murdered, malicious intent
I'm recreating myself at last
Rise up from destruction, start over again
Reborn, I'm now erasing the past
Did you think for a second
I wouldn't bother to question why
You always put me last
Can you look straight into my eyes
As you're excreting all your lies
Your time is coming fast
I'm reborn
I've seen the light
Everything now that would stand in my way
Is doomed to take the impact to come
You think you can stop me, you'd best think again
You want a piece of M? Come get some
Did you think for a second
I wouldn't bother to question why
You always put me last
Can you look straight into my eyes
As you're excreting all your lies
Your time is coming fast
I'm reborn
I've seen the light
So everything you're throwing at me
Has only helped me make up my mind
And all you do will amount to nothing
You can't effect me, don't even try
7.Explode
I feel you stare
Watch me not care
Glare at the freak
You've no control
Feel your eyes probing me, judging me
Only makes me want to explode, just explode
You don't know me
But you fear me
Tainted with ink
Riddled with holes
Staring and pointing, stupidity
Only makes me want to explode, just explode
All that you see
Scars that made me
See in your eyes
All you despise
Judge me by what you see, leave me be
Get away I'm going to explode, just explode
Fear what you don't understand
It will always be
Fear what you don't understand
As it always was
Fear what you don't understand
It will always be
Fear what you don't understand
I just want to explode
8.Save Me
Save me from myself I call out
But no one hears my plea
Burn my candle fast from both ends
Nightmares grow from dreams
You don't know, you can't see through my eyes
So you don't know me
You don't know what's going through my mind
But can you help me
Save me from myself if you ever really cared
Save me from myself, tell me you're not scared
Intensity that grows within me
Reflections of my pain
I'll create or I'll destroy
But either way it's always in my veins
You don't know, you can't see through my eyes
So you don't know me
You don't know what's going through my mind
But can you help me
Save me from myself if you ever really cared
Save me from myself, tell me you're not scared
Save me... from me...
9.Cold Blooded
Spit in your face, another worthless liar
I know your kind
Save me the smile, you're just a cut-throat bastard
I read your mind
Nothing without the victim that you feed on
Everyone knows you're just a parasite
What can you do after you've killed it slowly
Where can you go after you bled it dry
For now I'll let you believe
I let you get to me
Aren't you in for a shock...
You stupid motherfucker
You'll get what you deserve
A victim of your own game
You're already dead to me
Your turn to get played
Now I'm cold blooded
I've got ice in my veins
Now I'm cold blooded
Just disengaged
Having control - the only validation
You constantly need
Power to you becomes intoxication
On which you feed
Spewing your lies and your manipulation
Playing with lives to you is just a game
Being around you makes me fear that you might
Get on my skin and then contaminate
For now I'll let you believe
I let you get to me
You don't even see it coming, do you?
You'll get what you deserve
A victim of your own game
You're already dead to me
Your turn to get played
Now I'm cold blooded
I've got ice in my veins
Now I'm cold blooded
Just disengaged
Cold blooded
Ice in my veins
10.Crawl
Forged my strength out of determination
I've survived this long on will
Dropped so many times that I've lost count
Never stopped me once, never known anything else
Try and break me down I'll
Crawl back to my feet and stand
Crawl, try and break me you can't
Suffer, sacrifice, or walk away
Make your play and risk it all
New found power pumping through my veins
Based on brotherhood
Once it starts it can't be stopped
Try and break me down I'll
Crawl back to my feet and stand
Crawl, try and break me you can't
Pick my teeth back up and crawl
Sometimes it seemed like it just wasn't meant to be
Anger and sorrow were all that I would ever feel
Sometimes I'd dream the man that had it all was me
Then I'd awake each time to cold reality
But I can't wait for things to change
Complacency is not my way
Self-absorbed, I had lost my faith I was
Breaking down from your apathy, now it
Feeds my hatred for all you stand for and
I can't live like this one minute more, so
Just how much blood do you have to swallow?
Before can you lead, you must refuse to follow
Now I bite the hand that starves me
Don't look so surprised it's you that created me
Crawl back to my feet and stand
Crawl, try and break me you can't
Pick my teeth back up and ...
Crawl back to my feet and stand
Crawl, try and break me you can't
11.Blink Of An Eye
Seems like only yesterday the dream became so clear
All was possible and God it felt so near
So I suffered and I bled, I truly did believe
Years have come and gone, but just where has it brought me
In the blink of an eye
Seems like minutes as the years fly by
In the blink of an eye
Afraid to stop because I can't stop time
Strobing snapshots of my past become a blurring flash
Just one thing can make it all come flooding back
If I'd stopped just once to look back maybe I would see
Just how far I've come, but it took it's toll on my
In the blink of an eye
Seems like minutes as the years fly by
In the blink of an eye
Afraid to stop because I can't stop time
Blink of an eye
That's just how fast your life can change
In the blink of an eye, everything erased
In the blink of an eye
Seems like minutes as the years fly by
In the blink of an eye
Don't ever stop because you can't stop time
12.Blunt Force Trauma
I never saw whatever it was
That came and hit me from behind
Then I awoke enraged and confused
How could I have been so blind
Life's escaping, don't pretend
Judgement comes, but who knows when
So when you least expect
That's when it takes effect
A tragic twist to alter fate
Instinct is to deny
Logic does not apply
In time we learn, but it's too late
Blunt force trauma to the head
Blazing through life at the speed of sound
Don't stop to look at the signs
Suddenly everything crashes around you
When we forget, life reminds
Clock is running, falling sand
Time is slipping through your hands
So when you least expect
That's when it takes effect
A tragic twist to alter fate
Instinct is to deny
Logic does not apply
In time we learn, but it's too late
Blunt force trauma to the head
It's too late
Blunt force trauma
So when you least expect
That's when it takes effect
A tragic twist to alter fate
Instinct is to deny
Logic does not apply
In time we learn, but it's too late
Blunt force trauma to the head
13.Moment Of Truth
There were times when I questioned my reasons
Thought I wouldn't last
Seemed the hand of God held my head
Underwater
Somehow I fought back
It's still not over yet
No, it won't let me quit
Found myself more than just once
Praying down on my knees
My search for answers only led to more questions
Sometimes for faith you've got to bleed
By now I've bled my share
Now it's my turn to redeem
When it comes my way, I won't be scared
I've been waiting all my life
Pain has prepared me for the moment of truth
And the true test of time
Give all you have because you believe
Sell your mortal soul
And if you're not a predator then, oh - you better pray
Bet it all now or fold
But there's still a danger there
Don't become one of them
When it comes my way, I won't be scared
I've been waiting all my life
Pain has prepared me for the moment of truth
And the true test of time
For all I've done - some good some bad
Don't hang me just yet
Judge me not on one thing I've done
See my whole life instead
When it comes my way, I won't be scared
I've been waiting all my life
Pain has prepared me for the moment of truth
And the true test of time
14.Soul Bleed
Now that I'm all alone
Painfully aware
I'm starting to feel the cold
Knowing you're not there
Caught somewhere between my fears and dreams
And all I have are demons here for company
Come and look inside, hope you like what you see
And if you run and hide, you're scared of what is me
Bind my idle hands, they only claw at me
Drown in emptiness, my soul is left to bleed
Throwing a shadow on
Every thought I have
Knowing that something's gone
Echo's in my head
Caught somewhere between my fears and dreams
And all I have are demons here for company
Come and look inside, hope you like what you see
And if you run and hide, you're scared of what is me
Bind my idle hands, they only claw at me
Drown in emptiness, my soul is left to bleed
