Fuck the ones that tell you how to live your life Decisions made that show the blade won’t always come back to turn the knife. Lip service to the masses who cry a pathetic game How you live and who you are will still remain the same before you fall No matter who you encounter. No matter how hard we place the blame A cheek unturned is a better state when unraveling the pieces of the game But it’s hard to see when the page is blank Decisions made in time the ending is bleak Falling back on the price we pay never going back Falling in the hole that’s built upon the layers that we stack Can you count all the times you deny? If it ends in the blink of an eye I see control turn to spite so tell me what would you do in the last minute of your life? Would you take a knee or take a stand? Would you throw it all away? Would you see your end? Would it be in sight? Would it give you a reason to stay? Looking in the darkest end does it tell you what to do? Seeking passion layer by layer does the mirror say that it’s you? Pre Chorus; Chorus Solo: Mike I will be the blank eyed stare I will be the one never there I will show you what you’ve done When the face looking back knows that it has won Pre Chorus When you try to look back on your life do you find yourself asking why? When the mirror’s face tell all what would you do? what would you say? Can you count all the times you deny? If it ends in the blink of an eye And in your final fight I ask you what would you do in the last minute of your life?

Where’s the line that protects us all from the source of our mistakes? Coming down towing the line not seeing what a difference makes. Who makes the rules when passing down? Who makes the judgment call? A means to an end to save yourself but who takes the fall? Born into the troubled hands of what we create without a line of fire. In a declining youth we cut the hands that mend excuses yet we strengthen the tie. Falling short can’t see the way with no plan in sight. We ask a generation why? Solo: Tim Back to face the reality of a generation’s fate. Craving numbers of those that stand against a future they can’t eliminate. Born without a sense to see what’s coming next. Step in the line of fire! Chorus Time will tell what the future holds for those that write their book. A passive eye and it slips away without taking a second look Cheating on your only cause to make the future right. So don’t back in the corner of doubt when it’s time to fight. Born to take a stand against the odds Become the line of fire! Chorus

“I have nobody I need someone” An innocent so young and insecure Feeling shame for deeds yet thoughts remain pure. Untold story lines of guilt and repent The need to end it all the only line of defense No intention real emotion. No intention real emotion. Beaten down by cruelty can’t take it anymore. No intention real emotion, time to settle the score Solo: Mike Judge her not for what you say you hide behind the words when tempting fate it seems absurd. Fear of violent endings what’s the price she’ll pay? Until your dying day you can’t take back the words you say What will tomorrow bring a better day or not? Facing faces that are there to take their shot. Spilling blood a tortured soul with no defense. A crippling act from long ago. To suffer makes no sense. Pre Chorus Chorus Solo: Mike A resolution plot will anybody care? To tell the world of her struggle does she dare? Everyday she thinks “why am I still here?” Until the day she told the world “time to disappear”. Pre Chorus; Chorus

Plague 03:31
What is my true plague? The monkey on my back. The only one that treats me like a slave. I take the steps you’re always there to push me down where I cannot be saved. Whatever I do whatever I say you counter words and contort the truth. Blistering skin that eats through my soul. The light burns my truth Face the time it takes to be healed and well. How do I break free from this cell. Back against the wall when will it come to an end? Break free from this Hell! Waking up feeling like I fought through a war. A war within myself. My mind tells me to get on with my day. My body something else. Cursing nerves blaming strength will never ease the pain. The sense of living through a million lives while being bound in chains. Chorus 1st solo: Mike 2nd solo: Tim I will heal, I will mend while others suffer on. Changing guilt to a healing tool the pain is now long gone. Did I really suffer with the physical pain? My body tells me such. Did I really suffer with a physical plague or was the guilt too much? Chorus

I Am Atomic 04:40
Look in my eyes they right the wrong. Look at my face you’re not so strong. Look at my hands they tell the sign. Look at my past cause it’s not mine. Feed my mouth for words I say. Break the silence taken away. Distance travelled no destination. Seek the path of violation. With words of lies the cheap excuses trap what we defend until the end. And when we die why can’t we define and know we lived a live with purpose Modern choices lead the way. Mega Millions thrown away. Cheaters win without a cost. While honest people take the loss. Question silence seek the truth. Bleeding souls hide the way. Broken promises till the end. And choke the life out of your trend! When silence speaks louder than war .Silence fails and takes no more. When war becomes all we know. How do we teach our children to grow? Words of war that strike the path. Dismal signs that share the wrath. Find resolve in times of need the strength of one that plants the seed. Growth in common dignity propels the terror we foresee. Burning walls all around and fire within the silent round. In our demise the cheap excuses trap what we defend until the end. And when we die why can’t we define and know we lived a live with purpose. Face to face towards the end. Back to back with no defense. Crumbled rite in time of sorrow. Choosing those that beg and borrow. Caring strong while dying weak. This is why our future’s bleak. Why we never see the need when biting off the hand that feeds. Chorus 1st solo:Tim; 2nd solo: Mike 3rd solo: Tim; 4th solo: Mike The power of one can change the world only if the power of many fuel the resolve and make the world know that we as people have a right! Power of one can change the world and right the wrong My contention needs no mention the power struggle lies within! Chorus When we chose not to do what’s right the ones that lose are forced to fight. Seeing now who truly cares. Wondering who in the end will be there.

Realign 05:15
Blackened rage feeding the wounds to turn the turmoil back on you. Who cares what tomorrow brings unless it tears apart what we can’t undo. The struggle we bare the struggle we share a persecution always fills in the holes. So when tomorrow comes will I stand or will I face the fire burning my soul. Turn the page nothing to stage nothing but the memory within. Memories fade and fade away and all that’s left in me is wearing thin. Fill my emptiness. Find the will to see what I missed. How did I fall in this twisted scheme when nothing real is what it seems. Follow the path that will take me back where I’m surrounded. What’s the point in learning to lie when my whole life’s an alibi. Realize mistakes and fly back to a place where I realign. Bleeding out the lines of torture within will help me free myself from being bound. Starting stepping running falling is the key to a higher ground. Pre Chorus; Chorus Pleading with myself (why can’t I find the way?) Bleeding with myself (how do I find the way?) Screaming to myself (when will I find the way?) Fighting with myself 1st solo: Mike; 2nd solo: Tim Seeking effects not knowing what’s next to change the world in a single day. Taking the time to see what I can find will help to find a meaning to stay. A better way to live my life so not to walk alone in a time of need. Spoken out when down and out and realign without the notion to bleed. Turn the page hit the stage reborn in the blink of an eye. Never look back never relive the memory of wondering why. Pre Chorus; Chorus

The side of me you took from me is this the side you’ll never see. Why despair you’re never there you’re never the one I imagined will care. You say too much yet never enough and not the word you promised to us. You can’t win without a voice without the ones who were robbed of their choice. Contemplating where we go from here. A start without the mechanism to steer. The gas burns red, enough was said to bear the burden of the complications when we are dead from the inexcusable lies cowering plans without an explanation why. We brought you in we’ll take you out we’ll break the promise of the words that came out a layer shed better off dead better off than living on the words from your death. Another breath another death without compensating life, without a cost, without a loss, without owning up to your words, another purge, another surge, another victim falls for greed and stays true to your seed but falls loyal to your condescending victory. Satisfaction in a state of mind. Presenting ideas that cross the line. Blinded souls dig their holes and hide the truth that saturates the standards we share with a price but lose the war and lose the right and dignity to settle the score. Shining through a clouded window pane rebelling seems weak the words we strain. Countering promises broken by a promise forgetting the lie you made to be honest in death. Chorus Solo:Tim The side of me you never see, will never force the blood out of me, caution taken, standards broken, standards built on a will never spoken, crying game is never the same, nevermore will you place the blame, robbery guilt robbed of our choice, when you robbed us of the power of our voice.

Whatever we think we’ve learned about this life or what comes next. Power that be will turn and blurry the vision of what to expect. Banking on what we’ve earned. Embracing the riches life provides. Complacent in how it unfolds makes me want to run and hide. Lack in our sense of what we’ve learned How did it turn? Who of you can show me now? What does it entail? Why can’t we prevail? Judgment will collapse the walls of trust to those enslaved. Back against the memories within and never relive them again. Back to what exposed the suffocation taking the last breath we have. You can breathe a sigh of wretched air knowing your days are numbered. Composing our retreat to run away from what we see but isn’t really there and never was mine to begin. Trying days impose the trying times of what to expect. Chorus Solo: Mike Blind Eye Compromise! Blind Eye Compromise! Chorus

Imploding in my body lying, dying retrieve what I had before. Nerves that crack at the sight of the end breaking down for what’s in store Why is there a sense of burden, torment, enraged without knowing why. Fault is taken blindly shallow no reprieve from all that lie. Back to the way it was. Back to the day it was. Tripping on the fallen words. I need to say. How do I stop the time? How to I know what’s mine? Tripping on the fallen souls that lie here. Feed what I need to say. Feed even with decay. Tripping on the fallen shadow I once was. No use time regret. No use time we fret.Tripping on the fallen voices inside my head. How did I fall from this grace? When what I had before was nothing more than a simple trace of what I long for. Solo: Tim Beaten down to the depth of hell like never seen before. Going forward with the end in sight not knowing what live for. Pledging everything we are to the will we know so well .Standing tall in the time of need with a plan so easy to tell. Pre Chorus; Chorus Solo: Tim Pre Chorus; Chorus

Just save it for my ghost because I’m not there I never was and I don’t know who you thought would care. Bleeding words you say to make me feel myself and never shy away from owning my fake wealth. Patronizing disbelief becoming insecure to make decisions stay and mentally be pure Take away the hurt so peace can make a stand. Fighting with an empty shell so real but in demand. Can we find the right? Can we find the wrong? Can we block out all the things that try to make us strong? Why can’t we find the truth no matter how hard we try? Can we find the words to say when words become the lie? No matter who you are. No matter what you say. No matter how the future ends it ends the same way. No matter how we die. Somehow that matters most. So take the world that brings me down and save it for my ghost. Reliving dreams I lie awake the life I once knew. So what comes next when the karma stares back at you? Backing in a corner,fighting my way out. Fighting all the demons served not hearing what they shout. Crushing all I know, hoping it will mend Hoping for a new beginning while running for the end. Chorus Solo: Tim Chorus
