The Journey 06:42
Verse 1: What's become of me? Truth fades to black Fear lights the path As I escape this crimson tide That's taken me to the abyss of my existence A vacant premonition leading This vessel far away from all I know.... Wake up! You're navigating oceans Depressed sensory nerves will slow the man I know I can be Rise up! Your drowning 'neath emotions Repressed memories bury the truth Of a youth's forgotten soul Chorus: Do the blind dream in sight? Will I ever find that place? The glimpse that I see is hazy, contorted, faded and out of reach I see a silhouette of a man with a bottle in hand It comes and goes like the transient breeze And wisps away like wind to sand Verse 2: Peeling back the skin Diving below to find the source That caused the pain That caused a change in my beliefs The age of innocence is gone My virgin eyes had never seen such wickedness An earthquake shook the fragile frame inside my chest I found it difficult to rest within my head Amidst this emptiness Paralytic thoughts Scream without a sound Something draws me back To an image that cannot be found Chorus: Do the blind dream in sight? Will I ever find that place? The glimpse that I see is hazy, contorted, faded and out of reach I see a silhouette of a man with a bottle in hand It comes and goes like the transient breeze And wisps away like wind to sand Bridge: Gazing up at the stars Lead me home to the past See the shore from afar Let loose sails from the mast Chorus: Do the blind dream in sight? Will I ever find that place? The glimpse that I see is hazy, contorted, faded and out of reach I see a silhouette of a man with a bottle in hand It comes and goes like the transient breeze And wisps away like wind to sand

Redesign 06:51
Redesign Verse 1: Start from scratch Shape emotions Construct truth I am becoming more robotic I cannot stop this A light eclipsed by looming shadows From flesh to cold I long for a warm embrace I see a man on horse without a face Verse 2: Does it have to be me? Not a word may I say (Unless spoken to of course) Thinks me a disgrace If I turn and go the wrong way Fleeing, running, quickly losing faith I see a man on a horse giving chase Pre-chorus: Turn off your mind Let me think for you Conform with time And escape from truth Chorus: Grace Guiding me astray Reaching for the meaningless Rearrange The dreams that Manifest within the vacant space Within my head Verse 3: Pushing on Through the motions Feelings becoming more necrotic I cannot save them I hide from light, reside in shadows I'm so alone I long for warm embrace I see a man on a horse; the man is me Pre-chorus: Turn off your mind Let me think for you Conform with time And escape from truth Chorus: Grace Guiding me astray Reaching for the meaningless Rearrange The dreams that Manifest within the vacant space Within my head Bridge: Forget all that you have learned It was all a lie Permeating through my Frail mind Redesign Chorus: Grace Guiding me astray Reaching for the meaningless Rearrange The dreams that Manifest within the vacant space Within my head

Catharsis 04:41
CATHARSIS Verse 1: Truth in an empty chamber Piercing your heart to ember Fear in crimson tears Feeding my ambition I will never be the same blurring thoughts that fuel my rage Painted in a canvas stained with age... Verse 2: The sands of time have been so harsh to me I can not function, swallowed in seclusion Descend from my throne of innocence There is nothing left to chance They will find their hope in death… Pre-chorus: The hand of man has come To free me from this prison I call home Change words to action now, and damn it all Chorus 1: I burn it down Falling asunder all around The smell of scorching flesh pleases me Bridge: Infernal flames now rise To meet their unforeseen demise My power will make their world crumble… Everyone is not to blame Not any person is the same But now it's too late, so damn it all Breakdown: The smoke had cleared My mind was clouded still Regretful actions made Sanity has been erased Canvas stained by septic age... Chorus 2: I’m yearning now To pick up the pieces on the ground The final outcome did not meet my intended result Everyone was not to blame I am the one who bears the blame Be careful what you wish for (be careful what you wish for) - [grunt]

Revelate 08:33
REVELATE Verse 1: Judge not lest yee be judged The robed man would say But it's easier to look at the cover Than to read for days You can either drown in anger Or thrive in hope How could you be so hollow? Do I need to follow? Pre-chorus: Peel back the skin Dive below to shed light on answers you know Did he do that because he loved you? Open your mind... Chorus: Please step back Gain perspective Like gazing at the earth from the moon And one will see (You have a life to live) Choose a path that the fits best and blaze the trail... Verse 2: Feeding corruption with obsession Leads to turbulence Your mind is quixotic Your words are so caustic Your thoughts are shrouded By your selfish logic I can't change the past I can't see the future And presently I'm lost in this stupor Pre-chorus: Peel back the skin Dive below To shed light on answers you know Did he do that because he loved you? Open your mind... Chorus: Please step back Gain perspective Like gazing at the earth from the moon And one will see (You have a life to live) So choose a path that the fits best and blaze the trail...
