Darkness Inside 04:44
lyrics
When you see the darkness inside When you see the darkness inside Can you turn it around Can you turn it around Can you see the darkness, (Darkness) Staring back at you Do you think you can go hide Escaping out of view When you see the darkness staring at you Can you feel the darkness looking at you Can you see the darkness Can you see the demons staring back In order to light your fire, you must strike a match Don't be afraid to sharpen that axe Don't be afraid to sharpen that axe Seventeen times I fell in that hole Seventeen times I wanted to go Down and down and down we go Darkness inside Dark disguise Dark divide Dark butterflies Darkness inside Dark replies Dark divine Dark cast aside Darkness inside Darkness outside Darkness inside Can you find the light In order to light your fire (Your fire) you must strike a match Don't be afraid to sharpen that axe Don't be afraid to sharpen that axe Seventeen times I fell in that hole Seventeen times I wanted to go Down and down and down we go Can you see the darkness, (Darkness) Staring back at you Do you think you can go hide Escaping out of view When you see the darkness staring at you Can you feel the darkness looking at you Can you see darkness Can you see the demons Staring back (Staring back) At you (Staring back)

Influenced 03:52
lyrics
I feel a power Influence Pulling me Some would say it’s destiny Feels like there's no other Influence Powerful Influence Gently nudging We never know the lies they say We never know the games they play Influenced Tempting us with their lies that they tell us Can you remember the pressure And how it made you feel left out Influence Can you measure influence I've lost the taste Influence No longer good would you say Influence Salt of the earth I have lost the taste for influence I don’t even know your name I don’t require your influence We never know the lies they say We never know the games they play Influenced Tempting us with their lies that they tell us Can you remember the pressure And how it made you feel left out Influence Influence Influence Influenced

Cyber Rain 04:24
lyrics
Moving through Multiple layers of protection Directing you To find a new connection Maintaining all The servers and the systems Rejecting all Unintended misdirection's Cyber rain Sending signals through your brain Cyber rain Superficial friends On platforms like Facebook Watching through that lens It's like a play by play in fake looks Sending through Large packets of data Detecting new Applications called Beta Cyber rain Moving faster than a train Cyber rain Hopping through One router to another Critical review Deciphering the numbers Peer-to-peer Sharing all of your files Black marketeer Hope I don’t get put on trial Cyber rain Sending signals through your brain Cyber rain Format the drives Before you can use them Try to archive Your important information Write a blog And you can be just like Shakespeare Try analog In case the internet disappears

Inferno 02:49
lyrics
Lost in the land of nowhere Life's got me down and you really don’t care I feel like I can’t touch the ground I suppose that's okay cause no ones around I cried so many nights alone I was crying for both our souls Lost in the land of nowhere Lost in the land of nowhere Will the Gods below or above you cry I hope to find some peace tonight I cried so many nights alone I was crying for both our souls So many nights I thought about jumping in I knew it wasn’t right so I had to pretend Lost in the land of nowhere

Not Given 04:41
lyrics
No sense giving in anyway I have no time to play (No time to play) Demons on every side This is not the time to hide Falling away (Falling away) Down the spiral staircase Wind caressing my face Feel its warm embrace But there’s no sense in giving in (Giving in) The veil is so thin now I kneel down to pray For a better day The challenge is to not give in (Not given) When your heart is hurting When the ride feels too long (Too long) You gotta keep on moving Don’t fall away (Fall away) Down the spiral staircase But there's no sense in giving in (Giving in) The veil is so thin now I kneel down to pray For a better day

Despondent Girl 05:34
lyrics
Despondent girl Despondent girl She thinks she’s ugly She thinks she’s bad She thinks that the world is oh so sad Girl Despondent girl Despondent girl The world got too hard And life was oh so rough She could not stop thinking She wasn’t good enough She walks in silence with her head hanging down Her heart so heavy; no ones around There was no one that she could trust Her mind was sorrowful and tarnished with rust Tarnished with rust Despondent girl Despondent girl She thinks she’s ugly She thinks she’s bad She thinks that the world is oh so sad Girl Despondent girl Despondent girl The world got too hard And life was oh so rough She could not stop thinking She wasn’t good enough She hugs her body as she walks down the road She’s been suffering from depressive episodes She feels like she’d be better off dead Her hearts been aching and she’s full of dread Full of dread Despondent girl felt like hours were days She felt like she’d always feel this way She didn't believe that this feeling would end She said her goodbyes and made her descent Made her descent The world got too hard And life was oh so rough She could not stop thinking She wasn’t good enough Girl was loved but her friends didn’t know How serious these whispers; were to her soul The girl felt like there was nothing left I’m sad to say she’s been laid down to rest Laid down to rest The world got too hard And life was oh so rough She could not stop thinking She wasn’t good enough Despondent girl The world got to hard Despondent girl And life was oh so rough She thinks she’s ugly She thinks she’s bad She thinks that the world is oh so sad Girl Despondent girl Despondent girl She could not stop thinking She wasn’t good enough

Purgatorio 04:29
lyrics
Don’t know where you're going Unless you know where you’ve been Lost in the land of nowhere The answer lies within Whispering woods and thick fog You’ve been wandering for far too long Energy is draining out of you You are fading out of view I cried so many nights alone I was crying for both our souls Wandering around the dark isles Seems like I've been walking for miles The energy is draining out of me Is this the way it’s supposed to be Is this the way it’s supposed to be I cried so many nights alone I was crying for both our souls Lost in the land of nowhere Lost in the land of nowhere Lost in the land of nowhere Lost in the land of nowhere Lost in the land of nowhere Lost in the land of nowhere Lost in the land of nowhere Lost in the land of nowhere Lost Lost Lost Lost

Grind 03:58
lyrics
Now check this out Feel like a thousand pounds Sit on my chest Weighing me down Crushing me to the ground The weight of the world feels so heavy I feel like like it’s grinding me up into raw meat Into raw meat Into raw meat Raging of our heartbeats Seem to be offbeat Will not sit on the sidelines I will not retreat Tired of the backseat No more you mistreat I will not be pushed down Into raw meat Pressure of the downbeat Can’t you feel the heat Following all the guidelines Wash, rinse, repeat Wash, rinse, repeat What are you going to chew me up You Ready to spit me out I ain’t ready Surrounded by imbeciles on the highway Don’t they see the signs on the road way I am tired of fighting through the crowds of your day Can’t you see that I’m trying to live my life my way Don’t grind me down Don’t grind me down Don’t grind me down Don’t grind me down Don’t Don’t (Grind me down) Don’t (Grind me down) Don’t (Grind me down) Nightmares haunt my sleep Every night Feeding off me Stealing all of my dreams The weight of the world feels so heavy I feel like like it’s grinding me up into raw meat Into (Into) Raw meat Raw meat Raging of our heartbeats Can’t you feel the heat I will not be pushed down Into raw meat Will not sit on the sidelines I will not retreat Following all the guidelines Wash, rinse, repeat Wash, rinse, repeat

Lone Star 04:14
lyrics
Lone star This is the way Walk the runway With the rich and famous You’ll never have to pay again The fame and fortune you’ve been waiting for is all yours Dancing through the cemetery of the world I see the hearts are written in black and gold and the people Are laughing and mocking you While you walk the runway in your stiletto heels Can you see the lights on the street when the beats go down and the people come out And the weather is so pretty but they pull their shades down anyway and then The rain comes pouring down on the highway Lone star Lone stars of the rich and famous Our hearts go out to all of those whose money overfills their pockets And their hearts are black as coal Lone star All alone All you gotta do is be the best All you gotta do is beat all of the rest All you gotta do is be yourself But be pretty Dancing in the road in your black souped up Lamborghini Can you see the light That's now shining over me Can you see how bright The lights shines over me Lone star Lone stars of the rich and famous Our hearts go out to all of those whose money overfills their pockets And their hearts are black as coal Lone star All alone Try not to remember all the shady things you did Like when you played their games just to be included Don’t take off your rose coloured glasses While they are watching you Lone star This is the way Walk the runway With the rich and famous You’ll never have to pay again The fame and fortune you’ve been waiting for is all yours Lone Star Lone Star Lone Star Lone Star Lone Star Lone Star All Alone

Day & Night 03:30
lyrics
All day and night I wait for the time to arrive I would lay down my life If it meant you’d be alright Night and day Day and night I can’t stop; stop my fight Time is so, oh so lonely And the nights are so cold Time feels so lonely The clock ticks by so slowly The phone it never rings Silence is all it brings Day and night Night and day Isn’t life, oh so strange I’ll be walking down the road Lost, alone in the cold Never, will you change No matter what life brings Heading off I walk away I can’t wait for another day Day and night Night and day Day and night Night and day And the hours are so cold
