Violence 03:56

Hide and lurk behind your trust Good old friend of mine Fail me, try me, master / servant I’ll show you who we are The waiting’s worn me out I feel you crawl under my skin You smell the feast close by Remind me who we are The creature’s left its cage The appeal is stronger than I thought Now I must pay the price Remind me who we are I gotta lose your hold I gotta lose your Locked in a room face to face The violence of your hold Hit me by surprise Maybe I should have known There’s only four hours left Forgive, forget, repeat and you’re back Domesticated, so pleased to please you I’m your consenting slave A true romance, is it not? Remind me who we are I gotta lose your hold I gotta lose your hold I gotta lose your Hide and lurk behind your trust Good old friend of mine Fail me, try me, master / servant I’ll show you who we are Hide and lurk behind your trust Good old friend of mine Fail me, try me, master / servant I’ll show you who are I gotta lose your hold I gotta lose your hold I gotta lose your hold I gotta lose your

I Keep On Waiting 04:33

Would you please clarify Why the boy had to die Why nothing seems right A sacrifice for the gods of our time Should’ve bought me peace of mind Are you satisfied? Well, well ... Even though I was certain I can’t find a reason why No, I can’t recognize myself Even though I try to play along the best that I can I feel so hollow when your voice is in my head Back thoughts explosion inside of my brain Always the same over and over again What if I say Done making sense Done sleepwalking For something real, something worthy Yeah, I keep on waiting I live in a world that I don’t understand Do these things that don’t mean a damn I play by the book and I’m adored Your fist down my throat, I shut my mouth Don’t like the taste but I ignore Yeah, I’m your good little soldier Back thoughts explosion inside of my brain Always the same over and over again What if I say Done making sense Done sleepwalking For something real, something worthy Yeah, I keep on waiting Back thoughts explosion inside of my brain Always the same over and over Fuck yeah, I keep on waiting Fuck yeah, I keep on waiting Say Done making sense Done sleepwalking For something real, something worthy Yeah, I keep on waiting Back thoughts explosion inside of my brain Always the same over and over Fuck yeah, I keep on waiting Fuck yeah, I keep on waiting

Modern Man 03:29

Feel the sun heating your skin When’s the last time you’ve felt a thing Another year has gone to waste Yet we’re all celebrating Got a choice to make but I just can’t choose Let’s play it safe, got too much to lose Living the life of another man What a convenient masquerade ‘Cause I’m a modern man Ahead of evolution Yes, I’m a modern man stuck in a modern world I can’t become who I wanna be I have it all but I ain’t free I wonder who I could have been Had I still the will to fight in me Nothing’s ever good enough for you Maybe you’re right, nothing will ever do Living the life of a modern man Cut me loose before I go insane ‘Cause I’m a modern man Ahead of evolution Yes, I’m a modern man stuck in a modern world ‘Cause I’m a modern man Ahead of evolution Yes, I’m a modern man stuck in a modern world ‘Cause I’m a modern man Ahead of evolution Yes, I’m a modern man stuck in a modern world ‘Cause I’m a modern man Ahead of evolution Yes, I’m a modern man stuck in a modern world

Solitude 04:49

I found myself drifting away Raised the anchor, slowly set sail Now is the time if you got something to say I’m gonna let you down again It’s calling me I can’t move, I’m paralyzed The more you talk, the more I’m hypnotized I must heal myself from procrastination Black hole swallowed me down Still no sign I’ll be coming out Transmission’s down Brain cells on the run Look to the left look to the right Empty faces dancing around They got me cornered, now I can’t turn away I’ll just fit in and fake Back on my feet Hope they won’t fail me now All eyes on me, I walk the line Vision’s blurry, My mouth disobey All eyes on me, I’m hanging by a thread Don’t overthink, it’s no good for you Don’t overthink, it’s no good for you I wonder who put these thoughts All these thoughts that make you mad Don’t overthink it’s no good for your brain Meditation is the way Back on my feet Hope they won’t fail me now All eyes on me, I walk the line Vision’s blurry, My mouth disobey All eyes on me, I’m hanging by a thread Don’t overthink, it’s no good for you Don’t overthink, it’s no good for youv

Staring At The Sun 05:09
lyrics
buy track
Cracks in the mirror Lightning at the door Out of my mind all the time Sleepless for days Lost in your maze Wandering around in the night There’s no way out I’ve been staring at the sun for too long Break the mirage, break it down Once and for all Blinded by the lights Visions of the past Twist of fate I can’t deny Taste like bile Way too far gone No stopping it now Burn it all to the ground There’s lightning in the sky, wave goodbye Fool me once, yeah fool me twice When I hit the bottom, you pick me off the ground With the sweetest smile on your face, you hold me tight Gotta pull my head right out of the sand Open my eyes and unzip my mouth There’s lightning in the sky, wave goodbye I’ve been staring at the sun for too long Break the mirage, break it down Once and for all I've been staring at the sun for too long Break the mirage, break it down Once and for all I’ve been staring I’ve been staring
