And the way is long through hypocrisy and bars A sight just beyond your sight. And with the shaking of hands and some mutual    plans we exspose our teeth just for A few seconds of your time......   Damnation prophesied apocalyptic goodbye   Can't stop the tick inside as the seconds fly         Right by.....         Good Bye....

My precious emotions begin their descent A hatred arises when your talk is spent Lies they turn me but they can't burn me with flames from alcohol breath Hindsights taught me when time forgot me in fear of oncoming death Is there anything left to inspire Not feed the fires of demons awakened The excuses make me grow tired And feed the fire of demons awakened Now faces of the old so nurture my rage Madness is returning to start another page Your threats weaken as they start leaking the guilt of generations We keep subscribing to what is dividing then we fall in separation Is there anything left to inspire Not feed the fire of demons awakened The excuses make me grow tired And feed the fire of demons awakened

There is a fear we all must face It has a time and an awful place Some are too young to harvest spite Some are too young to take their lives Love once lived here, it's been replaced A hollow box of wine left an empty space Some are too young and there's no excuse The time has come to end this abuse Never Knowing what was wrong within When there was Nothing at All wrong to begin with We live our lives never looking back Then something hits us like a heart attack Never Knowing what was wrong within When there was Nothing at All wrong to begin with

Low and behold You do what you're told The cast is only as good as the mold All that glitters is not gold Low and behold The tide will unfold When everything only gets old All that glitters is not gold I feel their eyes on the back of my neck Everyone I know is a suspect Of these gulity games we play But in the light I can see that the darkness surrounding me is corrupt and so dirty Low and behold You do what you're told The cast is only as good as the mold All that glitters is not gold Low and behold The tide will unfold When everything only gets old All that glitters is not gold I feel the wieght of their expectations Everyday's a fight for domination Remodeled without a raise But in the light I am free and the darkness surrounding me stops influencing Low and behold You do what you're told The cast is only as good as the mold All that glitters is not gold Low and behold The tide will unfold When everything only gets old All that glitters is not gold All for the Machine All in Necessity All for the Machine All in Necessity I feel the whine of their wants and needs Never tease the beast when it's hungry Starving as the artist does But with the light protecting see the darkness in full retreat Now just a memory.... Low and behold You do what you're told The cast is only as good as the mold All that glitters is not gold Low and behold The tide will unfold When everything only gets old All that glitters is not gold All for the Machine All in Necessity All for the Machine All in Necessity

Is this the final straw Or the one that broke the fall Somehow just not aware No one was ever really there It was the darkest hole That I have ever known A mirror to my soul Loss of all control Now everything's undone In disarray under the sun Contiguous is the lie Until there is no reason to try It was the darkest hole That I have ever known A mirror to my soul Loss of all control My only chance at hope To not become cold Focus on the goal Light through a keyhole

Preparing for the pandemonium Waiting from the onslaught of the sun All paths leading here are paths made in fear Zeros from the heros on the run Haiku Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood

We spend all of our lives staring at the same sky From the time we are born until the time that we die. Even if one is gone there always would be a bond that cannot be torn No matter what was sworn... Family is never only blood The ones aware of this have all been touched by love Beware the shadows that try to drown us like a flood True family goes far beyond blood We spend most of our time with our feet in the sand More times than not we fall short of all our plans What a shame, what a waste, what a place to bury all of this time Now its time to make a stand.... Family is never only blood The ones aware of this have all been touched by love Beware the shadows that try to drown us like a flood True family goes far beyond blood

Enthralled between It's all but a dream We scream as one But the sacrifice has only just begun Your kiss, my heat Resist, so sweet So far, so good So long as we do as we should Someday we'll awaken Forsaken Some find they're mistaken Forsaken All the time it has taken Forsaken All without the breaking Forsaken No one can know What you can't show The crow flies straight It's great to know we only have to wait This life is yours So much to explore Before it ends We must forgive and learn to live within.... Someday we'll awaken Forgiven Some find they're mistaken Forgiven All the time it has taken Forgiven All without the breaking Forgiven This life is yours So much to explore Before it ends we must forgive and   learn to live within....

Inside of a Nice ride Down 75 Distanced by Trees reach up Towards the sky Trees throw up Our very lives Closing the Distance Between the white lines So magnified By distant eyes Marks of the mile Are passing by Those midnight skies Its no surprise Strangled cries We just drive by Closing the Distance Between the white lines Closing the Distance Between the white lines An inch or two behind

Once upon a time and not so long ago You walked a fragile line beyond your control The calling of an art to color our souls But Shadows in the night cannot let go It's a brand new day And a brand new year With some brand new pain From the same old fear At an all time low Knowing that I'll be Living a brand new day That you will never see So many lives have come and so many have gone What gives us all the strength just to carry on The love we have for you my child cannot compare I wish we could've been there just to show that someone cares It's a brand new day And a brand new year With some brand new pain From the same old fear At an all time low Knowing that I'll be Living a brand new day That you will never see Never live with me...

Welcome tomorrow insane That endless road it calls my name It keeps me from you and it's not fair Some loss and some heartache within the air Roadsigns only divide Closing the distance between you and I The stars cover us aligned No more lonely heartache within the mind Inside the heart of the lost Inside the hesrt of the lost Inside the heart of the lost Inside the heart of the lost Far from home - without you Far from home - I'm nothing Far from home - and losing you Far from home - I'm nothing Far from home - without you Far from home - I'm nothing Far from home - and losing you Far from home - I'm nothing I'm nothing without you

Winter sunset, just a taste of emotional death It's not over yet even when it's your last breath Words never come in those moments of truth a heart can get broken I just want to know why forever had to go when life has been stolen Clouds surround the moon So I bathe in her mystical rays Clouds surround the moon So the rain can wash me away Ragged scarecrow, you know you're just doing your job Keep throwing stones for they will probably never stop Life becomes numb with the loss of loved ones, a childhood depression Days into weeks into months into years with unanswered questions Clouds surround the moon So I bathe in her mystical rays Clouds surround the moon So the rain can wash me away Flames around the sun So the day Can burn us away...
