Hope and innocence, two things quite easily lost.
Painful pleasures produce no pain today.
For my own well being, not for that of another.
I fell from Grace feet first.
Talk, whisper, shout, I can't hear you.
No agenda forced, won't follow you.
Lecture, torment, preach, It's still not true.
Fall, fall, I will catch you.
Extending a hand to those I know.
But all I feel back is spit on my palm.
To believe you must have faith, and that's something I can't grasp.
(Chorus)
I fell from Grace feet first.
Fear and shame, a knack since birth.
Oppressing hope will claim you all.
Come, take my hand and fall.
Do I need faith to regain my hope?
Do I need faith to take back my innocence?
Faith is not hope. Hope is not faith.
I fell from Grace feet first.
For my own well being, not for that of another.
To believe you must have faith, and that's something I can't grasp.
Hope is not faith. Hope is real.
(Chorus)
Hope will claim you all.
Take my hand and fall.

Insane & Inhumane
04:34

Having the power of a God never gave me much interest.
You were the only thing that ever woke my mind.
The meaning of life never meant a damn to me.
As long as you were by my side, knowledge was inadequate.
Growing,
Together,
Delusion,
Forever.
(Chorus)
Sorry, I'm not good enough.
Never been dealt a hand so rough.
Sorry, I'm not good enough.
Can't just walk away from my true love.
I know I never really had you, but please let me pretend I did.
It can be our little secret, and you can run off and fuck to your heart's content.
Can a want make me insane? Am I inhumane to have desire?
Just wanted to watch you sleep. Wanted to be a part of your dreams.
Yearning,
Wanting,
Tossing,
Turning,
(Chorus)
I still can't love.
Because I'll never get back what I give.
Which was anything and everything that you ever wanted.
Can't just walk away from my true love.
Sorry, I'm not good enough.
Sorry, I'm not your fantasy.
Sorry, I'm not good enough.
Sorry, I'm not your true love.

Does this pain deceive? What have you done to me?
A fair warning would've been kind. Got advice, but paid no mind.
Did you want to pick up the tab? Do the right thing and sew up that slab...
Should've listened, should've listened. You're a penny a dozen.
(Chorus)
Made a few mistakes, but you're the one I'll remember forever.
I'm burning and learning my lessons.
You've got quite the nerve, every time I see or hear your name...
I've got an urge unlike any other. Astigmatism of the phallic muscle.
Just kill me, I can't take this pain any longer.
You should be hurting with me. I shouldn't be hurting without you.
(Chorus)
You took my breath away, then you took my life away.
Never seen you before, but oh, you're quite the whore. (sorry)
Not much left to say, but I'll say it anyway.
Only time will tell, how soon it is you'll burn in hell.
(Chorus)

Distance Clause

Is this a joke?
Haven't seen home in months,
Haven't seen life in weeks,
Haven't seen you for far too long.
(Chorus)
While I'm away, you call me night and day, wishing I was around.
I'm home now, and what a fucking surprise... You're nowhere to be found.
It's torture. Make up your mind.
You're making it hard to believe another promising word.
I heard it's supposed to make the heart grow fonder.
Just a bullshit excuse to make me wait a little longer.
Attention, your only desire, baby.
(Chorus)
Now I'm home alone, staring at the phone, thinking I might implode.
No clever rhyme for this line, baby, this is where it ends.
I've made up your mind for you...

Sleep won't work no more.
Whisper in my ear sweet princess, make me fall asleep.
The sound of your heartbeat alone could make the devil weep.
Be still, my body, while dreams assure me I'm not alone.
How can I be sure I'm not dead? Doomed to forever roam this nightmare.
(Chorus)
I don't ever want to sleep again.
Burn my eyes and ears to clear the water of the dead.
Where have I fallen this time? Abandoned, with past down under.
Swarms of flies eat my eyes, my brain the next course.
Where'd this dream go wrong? Why would you leave my side?
Sweet princess, I know your scent, I'll get you back here some time.
(Chorus)
It's so frustrating... Being alive, unawakened.
Waiting for the worms to come and tear me limb from limb.
Drifting away from reality. What a heart-wrenching feeling.
I lie here naked, exposed, yet still I choose to doze.
You will never sleep again.
(Chorus)

Voluntary Confinement
02:22
|
|||
|
No greeting and you're shouting the roof down.
Same debacle that I saw last week.
September, October, November rain.
Either way, I get no time on my own.
Could've sworn we had this conversation yesterday.
Throwing insults like stones, and your aim is true.
(Chorus)
Let me be, to be alone is my chosen alignment.
Can't you see? This is a voluntary confinement.
Set me free.
Empty rooms, white walls, nobody but me.
At this rate, I'll never get that wish.
Didn't occur to you that I might just like some fucking peace and quiet.
(Chorus)
Set me free.
Total anguish, constant pain, you leave a taste of disdain.
Thorough loathing, unrivaled hate, emphysematous race.
I'll pray tonight, and every night just to find some release.
Don't need "somebody", and I don't need you to set me free.
Help me, before I help myself.

While you may not admit it now,
We'll be freezing together. We'll be burning together.
As long as time will allow.
We'll be burning forever.
(Chorus)
I'm truly freezing.
Freezing and begging for forgiveness.
To see the face of the one forgiving...
Would be my dying wish.
I do not denounce the word of God.
Just question, and reason.
And hope for our view to be broad.
Through the peril of our seasons.
(Chorus)

They say a Beast will rise and lay waste to love.
Oceans of fire will spit back all consumed.
From under mountains, to the plains above.
I refuse to believe us all doomed.
(Chorus)
I am truly freezing.
Freezing... Begging... Forgiveness.
To see the face of the one forgiving...
Would be my dying wish.
No human being is perfect.
We cannot help but give into sin.
A life of fault will hurt any.
There is no honest way to win.
(Chorus)
I do not denounce the word of God.
Just question, and reason.
And hope for our view to be broad.
Through the peril of our seasons.
(Chorus)

|
Peace, can it be achieved?
Dreams of flight and love make me believe.
(Chorus)
The razor's edge will blind you in the light.
But if you close your eyes, your body will still fight.
Life, worth the torment?
Wake up today, wake up tomorrow, and I promise I will follow.
(Chorus)
Please, don't end it now.
Your problems will remain even when your name fades.
The razor's edge can't grant you the salvation that you seek
Can't grant you nothin'.

No Gold
02:20
|

|
I succumb to the sun to escape my dreams of you. (No gold)
I grit my teeth just to swallow the pain. (For this fool)
Pleading now would be a waste of words.
A familiar voice clouds my head. (No gold)
Reminding me of every mistake I ever made. (For this fool)
Just know, it was my time with you.
That kept me living, kept me breathing.
I know that you'll someday hear this song. (No gold)
and spit in my face and tell me that I'm wrong. (For this fool)
If home is where the heart is, I will never have a home.
If the right one tosses it, I will always miss the bone.
I want you to understand, I never meant any harm.
And that my only wish is to have you back into my arms.
No gold for this fool.

Loveless Nightmare
05:43
|
|||
|
As days pass, your presence is unsettling.
Two weeks pass, your tears can't make me move a muscle.
Three weeks pass, the very sight of you infuriates me.
Four weeks pass, you're tearing apart my things.
And wishing you had never met me.
I wish I could say that it's been you and not me.
But I was born this way, and nothing on Earth can change it.
Gone through the same thing time and time again.
I patiently await the day that someone comes to teach me how to love.
(Chorus)
Why can't I love?
Why can't I care at all?
Why can't I cherish anything?
Do you know what it's like to have all interests fade in a month?
I'll find the pettiest flaw in a perfect prize and throw her away.
(Chorus)
You'll move on in no time at all.
While I'm stuck here lost and cursed.
All qualms that you have with me.
I promise they'll die with my regard.
18 years have passed, and nothing has changed.
Got so much time to live, but I will never love.
(Chorus)
and…
Love is not an option for me.
Love will always be just a dream.
But I'll be stuck in this loveless nightmare for the rest of my life.
