Lyrics By Chris Leavell and Derrick Faith Well I like the streets a little better this way Covered in the rain. This quick precipitation takes a dive With a wicked infiltration so deprived It’s raining and it’s pouring outside So why aren’t you dancing? Ride tides and run down alleys screaming your dreams to the sky Inside they’re telling all the tales of days that they stayed dry It’s raining down upon this city to dissolve our fears You’ll stick around and realize the weathers better here We see the truth when it’s not spoken City of rain for draughts unbroken Come alive A fool’s time is worth as much attention he will pay Frozen in his ways We cross streets, so off beat to try and escape Floods of disarray This humid day it always lives With a small consideration left to give The burning ozone takes a hit From a hateful sky We’re so infatuated with the way it’s falling down Tonight the mess we made had freed its day to hit the ground It’s raining down upon this city for those flying high Don’t come around to bring us down cause we’re not staying dry We see the truth when it’s not spoken City of rain for droughts unbroken Come alive There's no need to be a afraid All the pain gets washed away in the city of rain It doesn't bother me that these clouds have a touch of grey As long as we're making waves in the city of rain

Lyrics by Derrick Faith I've dealt with crazy I've heard your reasons I know it's better not to live life in Captivity Justify me A resolution Won't live long enough for you to Get past mediocrity Running like the devil when there's hell to pay Twenty steps ahead still no time to pray Please please tell me but please don't say I'll never get away Driving through the night like a hurricane Searching for direction without any light Standing by myself when I look for a fight I've gotta get out tonight Driving real fast Going 90 on the highway Police man was crusin' His attention turned My way Hiding on on a Saturday night Sirens wailing and the flashing lights Gotta go gotta get out of sight Heading out of town tonight.

Lyrics by Derrick Faith Everyone's always in such a hurry To go nowhere at all Got me thinking maybe I should worry I can't seem to see my feet before I fall In and out of the same situation Burn it down, build it up again I can taste your infatuation Tearing up my mind so let's begin You're alot of smoke and mirrors And maybe I should make this clearer Runnin' through the past Still you never know it's true How's it come to be The only person here not crazy Is me? And can you feel it Crashing down around you And can you feel it Holding back the fear And can you feel it Rising up against you Cause I can feel it Breaking me down The tide has shifted And the game has changed Can you help me baby Do I seem deranged Lost ambitions And the wasted pain Only make you stronger When the money fades

Lyrics by Derrick Faith and Jeff Forrester I opened up your door As silently you prayed Tried to switch it on But you stood in the dark To prey for the better daze Look up towards the sky It never stays the same Until you come to find People, always change They say that you should give out More than you take But I know it's not the same Here's to the knife in your side For those you lost with your pride Can never be replaced The lines you cannot trace Will you ever leave the shame Or switch it on again and again Switch it up and shut it down! In the house that bears your name Never gonna live it down! Until you come to find life's a Series of changing lanes Hold on to the things you trust Sometimes win, sometimes lose When in time it turns to dust People, distant, always find the clues Saying you should give out more than you take But I know it's not the same Drink to that knife in your said For all those songs you let die! They'll never be the same The lines you cannot trace Will you ever leave the shame Or switch it on again and again I opened up your door As quietly you laid Tried to step aside but You stood in my path and said "Baby don't be afraid" Look up towards the sky It never stays the same One day you will find PEOPLE. ALWAYS. CHANGE Saying you should give out more than you take I know it's not the same Dance with a knife in your side You're just along for the ride You'll never be the same The lines you cannot trace Will you ever leave the shame Or, Switch it on again and again

Familiar lights shine on my soul Hidden deep behind their eyes Isolation, thought control Surrounded by a fog of lies When innocence forever fades away And life and love turn shades of gray Will I find my understanding there? Too many times I've found despair Complexity in a simple mind Run to keep up or fall behind Never quite getting ahead of the game Never quite accepting all of the blame Reality is a smack in the face A punch in the gut Our heroes disgrace And endless stream of sweat and blood Our search for answers from above Age seventeen and fearing change An obsessive compulsive waiting game Confused and intrigued by a dark illusion Driven away to a sad conclusion Searching through the density Of a mind confined defensively With the doubts and the fears extensively Growing in intensity On the thin line between love and hate At the end of the day it;s all the same When the passion dies and the fire burns out Is indifference all the remains? In this conflict of interest Is there compromise? Is resolution ahead Where promise lies? Will progress be made In the next thousand years? Or is the road ahead Filled with pain and tears? As the cold winds blow from miles away I will proudly declare "I'm not afraid" Standing on the edge of eternity Throwing caution to the wind The beginning of the end is hard to face And the heart and mind begin to race When asked of you just how happy You said as good, as it's going to be Insanity in a complex rhyme Counting on the tempo to save me some time Selfishness and self-forged chains. Maybe it's time we take the reigns

Lyrics by Derrick Faith and Chris Maples Whispers make For a shady disposition The burden you wear A black coat of inquisition For the sake of the debate You're at the scene of the crime And I could put in two cents For a nickel or dime Blind ambitions Now I can see Through clouded judgments And reasoning Fixed desires False Disguise Secret Motive Truth Denied Discretion at hand Throw it out take it in Chew on the fact of the matter Before it begins The lonely child wants What the problem child gets And the shooter shot to kill When she shot from the hip *(missing) I wait by your window I try to keep quiet I pray to the needle And worship the night I refuse your helping hand Weaving my demons Straight through the eye * Curiosity killed the cat But there's eight left to go Actually four after this But only two in the know Drive it out of context And turn at the phrase Because the words are not always What the message conveys Blind ambitions Now I can see Through clouded judgments And reasoning Fixed desires False Disguise Secret Motive Truth Denied I’ll just pretend It was better this way We can just pretend And never really say Something smells like summer Most of the time But the chill of December's not Far behind Forget the past And you're doomed to repeat it But what if that's fate And exactly what I needed

Lyrics by Derrick Faith Sleep sleep sleep "You can sleep when you're dead" All caught up, in your head Trying to make it out right Give me the world Everything in my hands So I can throw it away And complain to your friends Just putting it out there In case you wanted to know I don't mind waiting forever But my patience has finally let go I won't try to explain it It's exactly like this Give me the answer Now what did I miss No mind for conversation No ounce of motivation Abstract distractions Nonchalant reactions No time to think about it 'Cause the thought doesn't count Ignore all the sights But beware all the sounds Stick to the path try not to stray at a glance Living two lives when there's only once chance Burning Tumbling Spiraling Crumbing Spiraling out of control Blinding flash of light Brings me back into reality Information received And the message is clear Caught up in the moment Hold on for a second Wandering thoughts still Drifting away Failing concentration Inspiration waiting Prisoner to boredom Slave to expectation Derail the train of thought Before it leaves the station Trying to learn all this useless information

Lyrics by Derrick Faith Manufactured Right in style Mass production Audiophile Restitution For capital gains An institution Of fortune for fame You're writing symphonies of bullshit And haven't got a clue That the only one The Joker's laughing at Is you Watch your back Cover your Face Mind Your manners And don't be late Playing pretend So the sheep can prey They used to call out your name in vain Now they'd rather not call at all When you were blinded by the proposition And then bled to the concert hall Firing up inside my head With the scars I left under your bed Running around in circles And the mystery still escapes me Fabrication Of second chance Degredation Dancing a blameless dance Salvation From impending attack Another story? Just obscure all the facts Well I think,that it's fucking ridiculous, And calculated Now is not the time To play the game Just walk away Cause there's nothing left Can't stop it now there's No time to rest Stealing integrity like petty theft They used to call out your name in vain Now they'd rather not call at all When you were blinded by the proposition And bled to the concert hall It's been firing up inside your head With the scars you left under your bed Running around in circles And the mystery still escapes you You keep on waiting for your salvation Instead why don’t you make it happen for yourself I burned the bridge now I wade Through the cold, cold water Because I’m not afraid of what I’ve done or who I am And where the fuck were you when I needed saving You’re just too selfish to care about anyone else I lit the flame, now I walk through a lake of fire Can anybody hear me as I scream? Please back away, just get away from me (It's just too much for me) Move along because there's nothing left to see (It's just enough for me) And still you watch,and you question my intentions When the very same could be said for you I felt the winds of a changing world consume me But the only thing that’s really changed is your point of view

Lyrics by Derrick Faith White lite Black city Red eyes Zero on me No remorse No pity Can't lose it all The price is too steep Where did you come from? Why are you here? Dark silhouette Shows you no fear Drive away as fast as you can Can't tell if he's machine or man His judgement reigns down on your head You better watch your back or you'll end up dead Always trying to follow the road we don't belong Can't see the way out you know you must be strong Echoing resonates, a cartridge on the floor Smoke in the room as he exits the door Where did you come from? Why are you here? Dark silhouette Shows you no fear Drive away as fast as you can Can't tell if he's machine or man His judgement reigns down on your head You better watch your back or you'll end up dead Drive away as fast as you can!

Lyrics by Derrick Faith I've never been the one to say it Least of all not in this way Word's like iron in a fire So malleable Your brittle little broken prayers A sandstorm of This ire Speaking in riddle and inuendo What are we saying? Oh I don't know, no no But, maybe on your end you reap and sow The know Of what we're thinking Feel the sweat and heat Burning up your energy Getting closer now We're moving in a syngery Full start Press forward simultaneously We don't stop No we don't stop You've always been the one to show it Cryptic signs just not your style But I'm much better at explaining the situation So correct me if I'm wrong Or if I'm out of line Praying to all you hold dear that you know Just what I've been thinking I hope you know, know, know Unholy torture in your silence Violence on your tongue Feel the sweat and heat burning up your energy Getting closer now to reconcile the chemistry The proof of truth is spoken Oh so very cynically We don't stop. no we Don't stop I see you looking in my window What are we doing I think I know Give the signal now I've got to go

by Derrick Faith and Matt Seelye Too deep inside Too many problems Learning to harden The outside in Too far out Make up your own Problems Learn to accept The inside out Forced to survive, or Forced to conceal Whimsical happenstance So perfectly predetermined Bled, Broken From venom unspoken Threatening lips Forever poised Ragged and whipped No crime exists Serrated solution Now bite the bit Forced to survive, or Forced to conceal Whimsical happenstance So perfectly predetermined Handed everything Told to be good Trying to please everyone Putting on a smile as you struggle onward And face the changes Around you Pretending you’ve got it all figured out Trying hard to hold on But slipping through the cracks Unspeakable guilt For an uncertain future Of unwarranted hatred Placing your trust in a Wavering image But truth remains Outlier

Lyrics by Matt Seelye, Derrick Faith and Chris Leavell Stretching out over a blighted road, Under the voiceless bake of the sun No respite from the blistering heat No shade in a land so shunned One strike Irreverant whatever the Source Two times Blink into shattering swords The third one you call it a charm Fell knight, Bitten by a ravenous One He's closing around your throat Straining you feel it close Be, it all Through the pain And fall (You've got to get up, on your feet, it's time to run) Shrug off the shame Begin to see (What you've begun) Fortunes waned Resides in days Recalled (Restless in heart, don't wait, just get it done) Furious psalms riddled in anguish Help....... Forward bleak but behind a vortex, You either get sucked back or you run Hammer's cocked and trigger must be pulled Fire out or back into the gun Jet black,and sunk down low Under surface, depths few know No way to fathom the fathoms Pressure twisting, silent spasms Suspension to discord, progression and tension Release is remission, contort to distention Now worlds apart, shifted dimensions Undertow churning, ceaseless descension Tossed in brine and salted dry No cries heard even while you’re drowning Reborn See through nevermore A world Suffered through the score Spurned, without a hope Do you know? How hard it is to wake up, Would you stay? And see, What happened To me? Helpless Trying to comprehend the pain I close my eyes Try to find the light inside Can you spare my time What is it worth to know The battles you never see On the outside

Lyrics by Derrick Faith Your distinct brand Of paranoia normal You're trying to set the world on fire Blowing up into a big production But I'm the one who takes the blame Picking up the pieces Because nobody else Will Vie for your attention But do not reciprocate I am not in any position To let this be any more than distant Oh so lovely oh how lovely you could be If only you would stop complaining about All of your problems to me My arrogance you'd wear it well No nevermind, that would be beneath you Right or wrong you'll always Think that you are number one And unhearing would be nice But I'm too far away Besieged by guilty sorrow And stoned to death by Filthy rage Everyone, wants to have you Not even, to touch or grab you Monopolize your time to fill their egos flirting out of line so let's go to The prechorus, just like the one before this You say you want to know me better Maybe you should get to know yourself First My arrogance you'd wear it well No never mind, that would be beneath you Right or wrong you'll always Think that you are number one And unhearing would be nice But I'm too far away Besieged by guilty sorrow And stoned to death by Filthy rage Everyone could use a little attention To get them through the day But would you act like this if She was yours for real Addicted to that chemical Imbalanced by your imperfection Can you see what you've gotten into Or are you just Showing off?

Lyrics by Derrick Faith I'm not here to help you Only to destroy Fight and build then break and kill A presence to annoy Winding through the hills Sings a song best left forgotten A resurrection To stave off warning signs An insurrection Of poorly drawn design And fighting through fields Of terror you know too well Well,well Breaking backs the sword you wield Move faster Rip the heart out of your chest To placate all your masters They are as far evolved beyond you As we are them A fleeting moment Pure Of Hatred Disappointment saturating Broken arms that carry all The world's fears The sweat you taste Holding back the tears An introspective Armageddon bye, "good riddance" Follow all the steps and still be torn But, find your strength and keep Fighting on And write the song

by Matt Seelye and Derrick Faith Cry out all alone Shaken to your bones From them birth an indifference Of your own Whines and pleas of rage Shouted from your cage Ignored by the stock actors Who mill about all littered on the stage Parade of charades Of parts well played Slack jawed but well paid Spotlight flickers, curtains calling Unchecked egos, hold your applause The make up smears with counterfeit tears Auditorium erupting with unearned cheers Agonizingly, Ill equipped To portray Any empathy Set up the stage Conflict for reason Lights fade away In spite of the treason Typecast to the last Pointless bombast Sailed through half mast Listening all alone Shaken to your bones From them birth an indifference Of your own We're all singing from our own soapbox Screaming out of tune (The voice disappears) Picking wrong notes In a song that ends too... ...Sooner or later, it's all just noise You can tune it out when they come in Picking up a measure of trust, and find the one again Listen for the changes that divide your time Discordant dissonance Feigning a symphony Of sympathy Running back When calm takes it's place To reignite the spark That shows my other face We queens Steal scenes Needless Obscene Aimlessly careen Watching all alone Shaken to your bones From them birth an indifference Of your own We act like TV stars Embroiled in a feud As Time passes passively Amused

Lyrics by Derrick Faith Keep messing around you'll fall in love!! Fixated on now Not give and take Castrating the dream Not what you make What would your daddy have to say If he only knew All your friends would scream right in your face Til they're blue Keep messin' around you'll fall in love With a curious light Come around in the morning hits you hard But isn't that life? Picking up the pieces in the dark Shadows dancing, romancing Beckoning the strife How do you think that she would feel? If she only knew How does it feel to look in the mirror Doing the things you do Keep messin' around you're gonna fall in love Is that a life? Come around in the morning hits you hard With a furious right. I miss you But I wouldn't want to be you Am I the bigger man? Or am I losing touch with morality? Pretending everything's fine Then riding into town on a wave of false accusations? Laying Siege to the city And carrying on as if nothing even happened

Lyrics by Matt Seelye and Derrick Faith You match my gaze I want you in the worst of ways You seemed unphased Speak primal with a lust unphrased Oh, we both feel That spark, no point trying to conceal You match my gaze Speak primal with a lust unphrased Instinct’s taking over We can’t stop it now Teeth upon my shoulder Furrow up your brow and just Bite down, oh it’s so electric and it’s Too much, but baby I’m addicted to the rush That heat, the friction that our bodies making Right now, the fire that we found You meet my touch Not even shy, no hint of a blush They talk too much We dance, caught up in the flood And how we burn Moving faster as our bodies yearn To feel that touch You meet my lips and it's never enough Instinct’s taking over We can’t stop it now Teeth upon my shoulder Furrow up your brow and just Bite down, oh it’s so electric and it’s Too much, but baby I’m addicted to the rush That heat, the friction that our bodies making Right now, the fire that we found It's not a question of time Been waiting all my life then some- Body like you comes in burning up my mind A matter of if I try to make some sense I'm hurting for you Gone an lowered my defense The look is the proof And it sends me through the roof The way you look at me Your eyes telling the truth So afraid to live our lives Burned too many times When you're all alone When I'm the one you're thinking of When you call my name When I'm the one you need When instinct's taken over When you bite your lip And just

Lyrics by Derrick Faith, Matt Seelye, Chris Leavell Martyr Lyrics by Derrick Faith/Matt Seelye/Chris Leavell Seeing inside yourself We're leaving behind no one else Seething, at this misfortune Believing, I rule this extortion Wondrous reprise Thunderous demise Silent savior, speaking actions on high The exalted, no one, didn't care for the prize Became a martyr in the blink of an eye Struggling softly as we reach for the sky Devoted depiction Lethal prescription Breaking the finish line The seasons changing Re-arranging Forward support in time Winner takes it all We are the fallen Angels coming home We are not victims Just survivors left in the cold When it's lonely And all you can count on Is knowing that All you've left Is what you've yet to Learn In spite of this We all see the rainbow in the oil spill The tattered ruins and beauty in the many Angles in the stars The separate shapes Watch close as I burn out brightly What's ahead and whats beside me Just wish I could hide Meteor hurdling into the sea Hope still clings but tigther is Gravity Sharp Descent Fight the motions of the waves It's just the way that you are Trying to make sense of it all Crying these proud tears I can't be the only one? A little too close to the sun And when will I get my wings? This fading scene But I wouldn't change a single thing It's just the way that we are In every way that we're made Shifting through the invisible contact If we're not supposed to cry Then why do we come built with tears You can take my tomorrow away But you leave me my Dignity Then it hits you from the bottom And you go for a ride The shallow stillness in your heart Holds onto pride Hard to face it Summer springs but Winter takes the fall

Lyrics by Derrick Faith You misplace your Trust in others Worship one and Bait the other Refuse to take my Good advice And find yourself swarmed Fight or flight Exonerated from the Information Left vulnerable to disease Don't cry Accept Don't try Do it Watching high from a perch Of a missed perception Hindsight 20/20 In the wrong direction Too wrong To right Two paths To deny You Peck and you pry On her insecurities Like vultures Raping the dead You con your way Into her Leggings Hand in hand you Skip to dire Circumstances Guns for hire Wash the stains from Undeserving Inhibitions Quite unnerving Betraying light for dark Relay the conversation (Watch from the skys like a hawk on a mouse) Communication wrong Delay your resignation (We're going weapons hot, shut your mouth ) You Peck and you pry On her insecurities Like vultures Raping the dead You conned your way Into her Leggings The finale had already Come and gone To bury all your fears Inside that book You never Keep your promises How do you sleep? Without a dream The tossing and the turning And never learning the Tough lessons,you try so hard To look away From their instinctive reactions Distractions, a glance; and NEVER LOOK BACK AGAIN Stunned silence Reflecting what's left To be said
