Your smile's giving me All that you know I'm your design Voices explode in the dark Don't shoot the messenger It's not our fault Your words weighting me down Smother me I'm your design Do you know I'd take the empty road? But it's too dangerous to explore Is your world Much safer than before Because I don't feel whole? Destroy entire worlds Destroy entire worlds Enter into the sound I'll behave for you Casting fear into doubt I was made for you Apathetic interaction Another distraction A lack of compassion For the weak you don't see Hopelessly I Can you see the flood? Can you feel the urgency? Can you see the sun Set behind the willow tree? Apathetic interaction Another distraction A lack of compassion For the weak you don't see

Burning bridges as I cower beneath Trying to salvage the debris My devotion tied around your waist lest you fall No one seems to sense the strain No one seems to know Burning bridges as I cower beneath Trying to salvage the debris My devotion tied around your waist lest you fall No one seems to sense the strain No one seems to know I don't Begin to proclaim That I know I can't continue down this road Dwelling on what has come to pass No force alive will bring it back I would know I can feel the pressure getting steeper with every life lost You hope that I won't see the light of day in time to come With no conviction founded Just Judgement contorted based on lust Give me strength Your assumption brings to a conclusion of no consequence and I refuse to play into your hands for your appeal Inadequate, Inadequate I know I know I know I know I've hoped I've hoped You'll see me

Turn your back on everything Banging heads with prophecy Lavish in uncertainty Who will I be? How will I live to tell what I have seen? Must I endure the hell that comes with the peace? One equilibrium of god's own release What does it all mean? How can he justify? How can we breathe When the stagnancy's choking me? How can we dream? The nightmare reality How do you sleep at night? Take this doubt and fear to your grave This life of stone The hand of god I'm too tempted to bribe I'm getting old and growing paralyzed We're all alone Until we let our minds take to the skies Our blood runs cold yet we remain alive What's the confliction between heart and mind? How to bridge the void? Fuse the two in kinship To understand your prospects and vistas And yet to see the love here too It's more than I can do Vows and pursuits which at best hollow I remain torn in two Just seize the moment Sabotage the lines Life turns on a dime Please cease the torment It's weighing on my mind The pressure you apply won't hold Just seize the moment Sabotage the lines Life turns on a dime Well just cease the torment It's weighing on my mind The pressure you apply... This life of stone The hand of god I'm too tempted to bribe I'm getting old and growing paralyzed We're all alone Until we let our minds take to the skies Our blood runs cold yet we remain alive I lavish in uncertainty Turn your back on everything

Turn back time Reason why Break neck speed History Waiting (waiting) Waning (waning) Exasperating Unstrung Tethered Hoping forever No I tried to settle bets with my own soul Bless My lips for the first time before you don't Gripping to The last touch of your hand I grow to loathe Hope That you remember just how far I'll go I'll spend The rest of my life wishing I'm enough Resist Resist Resist Resist Resist Resist

I'm a surrogate I'm archetypal and itinerant I'm your excuse to long for a superior I will undertake, I will overcome Imperfection you will find Look close enough, tear off the mask I need This endeavor is not mine You subject me to the daggers you conceive I'm stronger than I was before Thus you reinforce these walls, I can't fight you anymore Threatened by the open door All the chances I ignore, I can't stand still anymore The day is done, nothing left to say Resting head in hands, wishing I had known my place To take a stand, the errand of a fool I'm not to reprimand, I'm here to help you through Is nothing like it seems? Living in this sequence, a dream Is nothing like it seems? Gather broken shards of self-esteem

You could raise the dead with those terribly troublesome eyes Maybe you'll always be bad Maybe you'll always be the same Are you alone, locked inside that prison in your head? You walk through the crowd Lost to the sound Invisible to every passing eye This waking life is not what it seems to be No time to talk No air the breathe Reminisce the scent of a single flower What butchers cleave The wolves devour But if you consume it you will surely die When you're buried with your tenderness You'll take it to your solitary grave Are you alone, locked inside that prison in your head? You walk through the crowd Lost in the sound Invisible to every passing eye Invisible to every passing eye
