1.Cutting Ties, Breathing Lies
Forcing the words up my throat and through my tongue. Causing
the projection of loss and speeding of lungs
The walls of regret share the texture of shame. x2
Bring to life what died in me. Tear the flesh from the bones
which don't bleed. x2
And in the hate of which you talk, this i assure you is how I
walk. But I've been known to fall. Breathing the air close to my
knees revealing those ash filled scares. Making them visible to
see.
Forcing the words up my throat and through my tongue. Causing
the projection of loss and speeding of lungs
The walls of regret share the texture of shame. As the feeling
of breathing becomes chocking.
This is the answer to the question of what you've been asking. I
am the perfect enemy? Can't you see? Come closer. Don't you
recognize me?
The taste of breathing has become the feeling of chocking. Oh
Lord, bring to life the dying sight. Show them what i cannot
write
2.Reflection Of The Commonwealth
Face to face with yourself. Staring back at your own reflection.
Take in the flood and the overwhelming thought of infliction.
Every breath you take in eliminates every chance you may have.
Pushing everything to the edge.
We are ' Coming undone. You are ' Coming undone. This is '
Coming undone.
See the light shining through in this room. This is light
shining through to you. Come to me (turn and see me) x2. This is
your redemption (it's captivating) Can you feel it? (he is
reaching for you) Will you see me? I will! Take your hand, lead
you through the darkness inside of you. x2
Coming back to it all! Face to face with yourself. Staring back
at your own reflection. Take in the flood and the overwhelming
thought of infliction. Every breath you take in eliminates every
chance you may have. Pushing everything to the edge. To the edge
x3
And this my friends is an occasion. Rise to it! You must. Rise
to it. x2
3.Looking Deep In Shallow Water
What was thought the ending
Began a whole knew conclusion
This story that you called so old
I'm reading through
Turning the pages
This story is so new
And it's happening to you
Cloaked through pride
It's happening to you!
This story is so new...
Breathing in what you spit out
Tasting a dense devout
Breathing in what you spit out
Walk past the shame, run past what you became x2
Look up, look here
Nothing can be more clear
Look up, look here
Tension has found your fear
Your fear...
Listless, making a list of the unknown
Hopeless, hoping something was unshown
Careless, nothing was your own
Walk past the shame, run past what you became
You became...
So deeply shallow
Your words have become hollow
Concentrate
Reality has choked your swallow
If this is considered, hit or miss
Remember
Crossing the line is defined by walking it
4.Penitence
Knowing now all your thought
Before you will
Take this bread and this cup
Losing grasp of what
What you will know
And don't give this conversation up!
Knowing now all your thoughts
Of what you will know
Don't give this conversation up!
Stand before His throne
(feast your eyes on His glorious robe)
Stand before His throne
(remember that you're not alone)
Stand before His throne
(He is everything you'll know)
Black is your heart for you diminish this decree of light
And you devour your own soul and sight
This is your part for new finished thought into action
You knew composure only cost a fraction
Back in the start of this disaster you forgot all loss
The last conviction was only lost
Your body shall forever rest on this dreadful night!
Your body shall forever rest on this dreadful night!
You, you will be forgotten
You, you will, you will be...
Forgotten
(you will be forgotten) x2
Forgotten
In this utter darkness
But your only escape
Is penitence within
Join with me brothers!
Black is your heart for you diminish this decree of light
And you devour your own soul and sight
This is your part for new finished thought into action
You knew composure only cost a fraction
Salvation is clear!
Salvation is clear! x2
Through Him!
5.A Sharp Definition Of Dull
作詞:Belafonte, Greene, Reynolds
Gather yourself to your feet
This world isn't done with you yet
You keep finding yourself on your back
Screaming through quiet words
Dwelling among all the cowards
Words that are not your own
Words are not your own
Words are not your own
This isn't you
Crawling, when you once flew
This isn't you
Crawling, when you once flew
There is another ending
When the servant becomes the king
There is another ending
When the servant becomes the king
This isn't you, this isn't you
Crawling, when you flew
Can it be? Can it be more obvious?
Intentions do not bare the strength
You're leaving steps, you're leaving steps unwalked
I will not be silent anymore
You're leaving steps, you're leaving steps unwalked
Can it be? Can it be more obvious?
Intentions do not bare the strength of actions
You're leaving steps unwalked
Come back, come soon, come through
Come back, come soon, come through
Come back, come soon, come through
6.Shawshank Absolution
My mind pushes past conscious thought
Thinking, feeling, knowing past
Tell me, tell what am I?
This gate is closing way too fast
They say routine is how you live
I'm convinced it's how you die
Trapped in this hollow pensive
Gaining you the more you try
This cannot last. It will not last. x3
It cannot last!
Reach me oh Lord!
Draw me back, before I reach myself
Before this becomes my institution
Before this becomes my absolution
Reach me! Oh Lord! Draw me back!
Ohhhh
Routine is how you die
Trapped in this hollow pensive
Gaining you the more you try
This cannot last. It will not last. x3
This cannot last!
Can this be?
Pushing fact so fiercely
You are my restitution
The product of resolution
Oh Lord, you are absolution!
7.No Place For Pardon
I'm taking control of everything I've lost
I've drifted down this river side by side with everything I'm
not
Horizons of he who never hungers
He who never thirst
Burnish the seems of feeble reaping
Destroying last competence of what it first
Losing grasp of what is keeping
I'll step this up
Because you're worth more than this
My God you're worth more than this!
I'm giving up on giving in!
I'll step this up
Because you're worth more than this
My God you're worth more than this!
I'm taking control of everything I've lost
I've drifted down this river side by side with everything I'm
not
You are a sheep amongst wolves
No place for pardon
Potentials havoc in Eden's garden
Coming between the problem and the solution
Is nothing but yourself
Nothing but yourself!
You are a sheep amongst wolves
I'm giving up on giving in!
I am a selfish man without any hint of conviction
You made your point to get under my skin
But I'm on top and I won't let you in
I won't let you in!
Break the walls, close the gaps
Show me the likes of which you've never seen
It's not who I am
It's who you're not!
Who you're not!
Break the walls, close the gap
Show me the likes of which you've never seen
I'll step this up
Because you're worth more than this
My God you're worth more than this!
8.Crescendo
(Instrumental)
9.Rising Words
Coming so far from it all
Wondering how this came so fast
With every breath trying not to fall
In retracing the steps of our past
The beginning was thought the end
Losing every ability to pretend
Forcing down the rising words
of everything we wanted heard
Now that I've found my call
I'm going through it all
Sure of nothing more, nothing less
I'm going through it all! x3
I'm going...
Through it all!
The beginning was thought the end
Losing every ability to pretend
Forcing down the rising words
Knowing now that I've found my call
Sure of nothing more, nothing less
A story still unfinished
And then the plot thickens
Prepare me Father. Show me how
Lead me to lead, Feed me to feed x3
And this goes to show
Everything you're hoping
You already know
10.Breathing New Lungs
Oh how I'm falling faster, into this state of mind
I look at this barren page, with nothing left to write
How I'm falling faster!
You've raised suspicion
Based on what you've seen
Things keep coming up
I'm coming...
Coming clean
Coming clean
(Oh God redeem me) x2
Oh how I'm falling faster, into this state of mind
I look at this barren page, with nothing left to write
You broke down the arms that kept me safe inside
There has never been a love so strong
Keeping me in line
Oh how I'm falling faster, into this state of mind
I look at this barren page, with nothing left to write
Oh God! Rid me from myself! x6
Turn me against the burdens inside me
Open my eyes so I can clearly see
How I've broken against my own oppressive behavior
Normal isn't so normal anymore...
