Look through these eyes And see just what you fear You realise There's no escape here (and now) You feel like the world's upon you Constricting every breath you take And even when hope seems before you It drifts away Feel as it falls away They pull us down Beneath the waves And you can feel the world begin to fade As they pull us down Pull us beneath the waves Search for my hand These murky waters rage Fight all you can It's all in vain (these waves) Take every ounce of strength we harbour And all of our resolve away (away) Why do they wish to engulf our lives? And take even the light of day Feel as it falls away They pull us down Beneath the waves And you can feel the world begin to fade As they pull us down Pull us beneath the waves Feel as it falls away They pull us down Beneath the waves As we make our descent We reach above To save ourselves And we will bring anything down below If it spares us pain (spares us pain) And this is pain you soon will surely know As we pull you down Pull you beneath the waves

Delusions 06:10
We know you can't understand Just quite how far this goes But we've come too far To let you take this away Yet you keep trying to hold Onto something you don't own And this can only end one way It ends this way And even as you beat us down And each one of us falls The strength of your disdain just feeds our fury (You will not stop us all) And as you cling on desperately And see the hate that you have made You remain blind to all that we're enduring Know you will fall You instilled fear in us all Fashioned your own pedestal And now you see it's Such a long way down A long way down And even as you beat us down And each one of us falls The strength of your disdain just feeds our fury (You will not stop us all) And as you cling on desperately And see the hate that you have made You remain blind to all that we're enduring And you will see just what it means to be Taken away from all you love The winds have changed, you fight against them now It will not stop for you Delusions can't help you now And even as you beat us down And each one of us falls The strength of your disdain just feeds our fury (You will not stop us all) And as your grip begins to fade You feel the hate that you have made You will feel what we all have been enduring This fear you feel we call reality Know you will fall Know you will fall Know you will

Attrition 04:58
The show is done The war's been won Yet victory I do not feel There on display For all to see Without a shred of dignity This place feels so cold I'll walk away You'll walk away Confine it to our minds It will remain there to punish us We'll walk away There's nothing to say Just turn And walk There's no time for second thoughts it's too late for them now These people stare They know what's there Their eyes crawl through my skin and search for you This feeling draws them ever closer to us The walls that we create crumble into dust Exposing weakness, doubt and second guesses We can't escape, we can't escape I'll walk away You'll walk away Confine it to our minds It will remain there to punish us We'll walk away There's nothing to say Just turn And walk There's no time for second thoughts it's too late for them now They, they can't know what we've done It will all come undone They could not understand the truth Leave, leave this burden of doubt They won't figure us out We will transcend these useless feelings Take, take to flight with me now And as they Watch us I'll walk away You'll walk away I'll walk away We'll walk away

How this life can weigh you down My mind it moves so slow Hard to even wonder how Maybe I don't want to know As the sea it meets the sky The possibilites A need to stop wondering why And be taken far away Looking outwards, we reach into the light (making our own way now) Don't look back now, just give your all this time (as we fall in further) Fading sparks is all we are We're chasing after time And while we know we won't get far We dwell and waste this life Sometimes you need to feel that low To understand what's real To hate, to love, to want to know But above all else to feel Looking outwards, we reach into the light (making our own way now) Don't look back now, just give your all this time (as we fall in further) Times are changing, and colours fading, I'm rearranging, my fate is mine Taking hold this time As we turn into the light Looking outwards, we reach into the light (making our own way now) Don't look back now, just give your all this time (as we fall in further) Times are changing, and colours fading, I'm rearranging, my fate is mine Taking hold this time As we turn into the light

Identify the only things that ever mattered to suit your needs The creaking gate blown by the wind is of no consequence Look to the sky (it's turning grey) Look in my eyes (then look away) Pull your collar up, get on your way Those hopes and dreams, so far away From where you were only yesterday And who or what could possibly be in your way? And in the sky (that same old grey) Glint in your eye (for a new day) So much lies ahead, oh who could say? Watching you fall away So content So there he sits staring far away But all that he can see is grey And he knows nothing else will cross his path today Looks to the sky (what could he say?) He turns around (back to the grey) Pulls his collar up, and on his way Watching you fall away So content So find a way To disappear 'cos in the end You'll always take the beaten path No matter who stands in your way I still see you fall away So content So find a way To disappear 'cos in the end You'll always take the beaten path No matter who stands in your way Find a way Disappear Take the beaten path No one's here

To see it collapse, feels like it's falling on me The dust it settles on those moments Standing up there, surveying your work triumphantly Absence of regret chills me so Time, so much time Passes by Yet still I Stand and wait Screaming across the years A shot fired long ago that rings still in my ears In my heart What we built Fell apart Chastising, pain rising, still lying, what am I trying to do? No bridge to rebuild with you I crawled through rubble, clambering at what I could Trying to put this back together Walking away, you could not leave without one last look Oh please, tell me that's not a smile Lies, all those lies Yet still I Still I tried Here I lie Screaming now in my face Memories, images, you now strive to erase Watch the flames as they rise Truth courses through me now, through the fire in your eyes I now see free of guilt So now let's take a look, for this is what we built What we had And are you Even sad? Wash me away, free yourself of me, what was I trying to do? I burn these bridge with you Burn
