Every night, it’s the same Can’t understand what she’s muttering Her voice just keeps breaking away in desperate cries I can feel her pain, hiding buried secrets Tryin’ to find out what happened, she’s half forgotten No more denial So involuntary Truth finds its way ‘round the blind spots of your mind, Nightmares and endless screams Confessions of broken dreams Think she has taken a life Confront her but she keeps denying Sanity’s slipping away in desperate cries She will take me too. Got to be one step ahead of you Can’t risk her tryin’ to kill me, I’ll take hers instead No more denial So involuntary Truth finds its way ‘round the blind spots of your mind, Nightmares and endless screams Confessions of broken dreams Your lies and your conscience fight I tried suppressing what has happened on the night I rid her mind I still wake up crying in the middle of the night No more denial So involuntary Truth finds its way ‘round the blind spots of your mind, Nightmares and endless screams Confessions in broken dreams Your lies and your conscience fight

You’re out there, so am I I don’t believe, I can’t perceive the things you call decline I live in this space and time, an opus of my own design How is this grand? Come inside and hear the tales the paintings softly coo The rugs are lying perfect, yet they’re awkwardly askew No painter could define my shade of blue Now I’m just a man, Nebulous To you I’ll sing my malady, please follow, never slew Just come with me. Am I the only one who goes out there? Who’s off beat, when I stand tall, while I read all my pain to you Look through my glare Come inside and hear the tales the paintings softly coo The rugs are lying perfect, yet they’re awkwardly askew No painter could define my shade of blue Now I’m just a man, Nebulous to you No painter Define my shade of blue Now I’m just a man Nebulous

Gone Rogue 04:08
You’re not getting away with this Depriving other people’s joy The backdoors to a new slate are rapidly growing skew Because your smoldering path of carnage is catching up with you When the edges of your paper world will fester by affliction You’ve used to feed your own addiction I’d hoped for your sake, that before that day would come you’d learn But now you’re floating on the river of no return When the edges of your paper world will fester by affliction You’ve used to feed your own addiction Just one moment of what you had Wished you could drain your wealth Now the array is growing strong - Pull the string and tell me what you see - You’ll crash down where you belong - Would you’ve opened it for me? - Climbing bodies, you were reaching for the sun But now you’re reigning in your country of no return When the edges of your paper world will fester by affliction You’ve used to feed your own addiction I met you at a time in which your legend was two steps behind The whispers hissed an entity that made a grown man blind When the edges of your paper world will fester by affliction You’ve used to feed your own addiction

Used to be a bird of light And all your flaws I would rewrite Wish to be where you’re abiding In the shadows of your pride Lose your fear, your rage and woe They can’t help you where you go You must not doubt, I will return No longer be eclipsed and burned The morning star I used to be Defined the end’s infinity My wings are growing strong again Before you break, you will repent Your desperate cries won’t help you then The trinity in me, amen You’ll rescind the hierarchy I won’t concede this blasphemy They’re not worthy, your mankind Omnipotent, but you’re so blind Lose your fear, your rage and woe They can’t help you where you go You must not doubt, I will return No longer be eclipsed and burned The morning star I used to be Defined the end’s infinity My wings are growing strong again Before you break, you will repent Your desperate cries won’t help you then The trinity in me, amen Your precious Michael came to me, exhorting to abate If I were to ignore your bidding, I’d be sure to seal my fate “Divinity will genuflect, so say a little prayer I’ll place my throne above the stars, not even He can touch me there” “You’re my brother, but this can’t pass uncorrected” As he kissed me, he assured me: “You just need to be subjected” Within seconds I was surrounded by the brightest feathered throng Archangel Michael’s array of a billion Seraphs strong I hit, I kicked, I bit, I fought while angels kept on coming You’d think that all this killing would eventually be numbing But I felt the pain as I was forced to cleave my brethren to the ground “We should not have this war, this isn’t glorious nor profound” “It felt like days but here I am, now let’s see eye to eye You cannot end a fight, with a knight that cannot die” “Know your place, dear Lucifer, I’ll send you there outright” He raised His hands from which came forth a blinding cloud of light

I’m stumbling out of bed, my eyes adjust to what I see Feel the bathroom light is not as bright as it once used to be Push the door and I don’t want to believe, what this door had to conceal Wake me up, this can’t be more than just a dream This cry for my attention is too horrendous to be real I call your name, I scream but no one seems to hear Is this what you’ve felt, as I ignored you all these years Unfold the note that floats upon the water you’ve turned red “There was a time I loved you, goodbye” was all it said Wake me up, this can’t be more than just a dream This cry for my attention is too horrendous to be real How could you? We were barely ripping at the seam What about the promise to grow old with me Wake me up, this can’t be more than just a dream This cry for my attention is too horrendous to be real How could you? We were barely ripping at the seam What about the promise to grow old with me

He proves by every step he takes, you are nearing your defeat His cloak is gracefully dancing on the waltz of your deceit With his shabby hat and cane A grin that’s always hidden, unknown remains his name Your iniquity will write your worthless name upon your door Warn the shadows on your floor But when it’s dark and blackened feathers are the only things in sight It’s far too late for worrying, the scarecrow’s taken flight Spare my life, I’ve always been the best man I can be I fought, I cared for all my children Please do not ignore my plea, forgive me for my vice Do my nightmares not suffice? Your iniquity will write your worthless name upon your door Warn the shadows on your floor But when it’s dark and blackened feathers are the only things in sight It’s far too late for worrying, the scarecrow’s taken flight You know what you’ve done Now you need to confess He’ll hear your words But kill you nonetheless Your iniquity will write your worthless name upon your door Warn the shadows on your floor

Fought for Queen and Country Each day I prayed redemption Yet there past another year I write this letter to the person who will find me I’ve seen my share, I wrote my story, I’m sure you would agree No battle of people but my everlasting fight with time I don’t know if am waiting for death or sitting out a punishment Who wants to live forever? Get stuck in a sure decline I think the God I loved and prayed to just forgot me He’s got me in between the devil Between the devil and the deep blue sea No battle of people but my everlasting fight with time I don’t know if am waiting for death or sitting out a punishment My final prayer as I go numb Please let me into Your kingdom Goodbye Good...

It’s muscle memory really I must have done it about 30 times Each and every frame, a face I thought I knew but then the voices in my head came warning Her nervous stare assures me that she knows what time it is “I know about your cheating ways, don’t try to talk me out of this” Then it was finally over, one more thing to do Then it was finally over, perfect shade of blue One more thing to do I sing our favorite song now, as the rope slips through my hands A noose tied quickly This necklace won’t look pretty, it’ll hurt you like you’re hurting me I’ll feel my pain for years to come, but you, my love, will soon be free Then it was finally over, one more thing to do Then it was finally over, perfect shade of blue One more thing to do Her face is pale, her eyes wide shut Why am I covered in this blood? Has it come down to this Her face is pale, her face is bliss Her face is bliss Now it is finally over, new light shining through Can’t help but feeling there’s just one thing left to do

Jeez, why the hell is he this close? His breath fogs up my rear view mirror Is he trying to push me off the road? Creep, there’s no way I’m gonna move What are you trying to prove What is your fucking deal, you freak? I won’t let him have his way Fucks like them should know their place Guess it’s like a game to him You don’t want to dance with me Final time you bumped my ride Hit the breaks with all my might Just scaring him off He starts to swerve On a collision course Blood and glass everywhere Darkness is closing in Breathe

Entwine 04:46
I’m keeping a furious grip on my gun And I ask myself who’ll answer for what has been done Just scare this kid off No way, I won’t just go away Someone will have to pay I’ll just shoot them all I’ll take theirs like they took mine Knowing my light could be closing When two divergent stories entwine Why won’t this guy just let me pass him by - I’ll just bump his ride - Just scaring him off Dude move, what are you trying to prove I’m on my way to school And I’ll just shoot them all I’ll take theirs like they took mine Knowing my light could be closing When two divergent stories entwine
