As we cross to the unknown I see fear engulf your eyes And we both know we're on our own Though it hurts to recognise Our lives have both Taken very different paths But for now we know It's time So take my hand Just pull me through If this is how it has to be I wish to spend it all with you Turn around Look Away No one wished to see this day Close your eyes as this storm Preys upon the Earth The world we know Its time is short Change is bearing down on us The past is something we can't afford Right now So take my hand We'll make it through, we'll find a way Turn around Look Away No one wished to see this day Close your eyes as this storm Preys upon the Earth Feeling love Feeling hate See the world Dissipate So just stay with me as we witness The end and the rebirth Don't give in to it We will find a way Hope is not too far From our reach Turn around Look Away No one wished to see this day Close your eyes as this storm Preys upon the Earth Feeling love Feeling hate See the world Dissipate So just stay with me as we witness the Collapse of man The end and the rebirth

Haunted 04:39
So So we're back in this place again But deep down inside you know it's the end All these battles, they take their toll And how beautifully you did play your role I guess that's all that should be said Memories that are better off dead Please don't dwell on this any more Get it over with, throw me out the door See how she makes each move so patiently, patiently You moved on with your life so easily, easily I guess your virtues are intact So take solace in this unbreakable fact I thank you for your time today I guess you got sick of playing your games See how she makes each move so patiently, patiently You moved on with your life so easily, easily Lead on Follow See how she makes each move so patiently, patiently You moved on with your life so easily, easily See how she makes each move so patiently, patiently And how she moves on so damn easily, easily

15 Minutes 04:48
One more day until I pour this emptiness out One more way you tear at my seams again No one sees, no one can see the scar, it darkens Soon they'll see, my 15 minutes of fame Nothing to lose Oh how they're fascinated Which one to choose? They'll know me now I can turn this world inside out Everything you love will be mine They will watch it all unfold with Voyeuristic eyes I can't wait to see the platform they will give me Far too late, my life will intrigue you all All I want is for someone to understand me This is all, all that I've come to know Just look away You just can't do it, can you? I give you all Just what you want I can turn this world inside out Everything you love will be mine They will watch it all unfold with voyeurist... Voyeuristic eyes I can turn this world inside out Everything you love will be mine They will watch it all unfold with Voyeuristic eyes Voyeuristic eyes Voyeurist With voyeuristic eyes

I can feel hate I can feel pain in you I can see that time brings many burdens And it has left its fair share with you I can see more Than what you wish me to see There is something underneath the surface A sense of love and purpose, like me Say to me That you can feel all this life You can feel the reaction Sever the distraction Fall into the passion That swims through both of our eyes I can see a change I see something new in you Maybe our surroundings are choking The life that I know out of you You move through the crowd With elegance and grace, so slow Yet I can't seem to catch you I feel myself slipping down below Say to me That you can feel all this life You can feel the reaction Sever the distraction Fall into the passion That swims through both of our eyes I can see you I can see me I can see two different places And one that I don't wanna be Say to me That you can feel all this life You can feel the reaction Sever the distraction Fall into the passion That's gone from your eyes Feel your reaction Use your new distraction Move on with such passion I saw once in your eyes

Show's Over 04:33
So you wanted to see what's inside of me And take it apart so inquisitively Now you've seen what I can't hide So you've had your fill, and that was your thrill Time to move on and fulfill all your own desires And just leave the wreckage for someone else Wreckage for someone else (So just run away) What could be left for you? There's nothing to see here, show's over Just so you know There's nothing for you, run away So go your own way No reason to stay I'm sure it's been torture for you up to now anyway We both know what you really want You indulge yourself, not anyone else You talk of the pretense of others, like you can tell But you're just like the ones that you claim to hate The ones that you claim to hate (So just run away) What could be left for you? There's nothing to see here, show's over Just so you know (There's nothing for you, run away) Thought this was real, but you're always looking over your shoulder And now I know Just run away So much lost and nothing gained here Oh how I wish that I could (just run away) What could be left for you? There's nothing to see here, show's over Just so you know (There's nothing for you, run away) Thought this was real, but you're always looking over your shoulder And now I know There's nothing for you run away Nothing for you run away So just run away So just run away There's nothing for you run away

So many obstacles thrown in our way For once it feels there's nothing left to say Crawling to the ends of this Earth to find The solution resides within our minds This is how it always was to end It was not a case of if but when Makes you feel so alone And it devastates me I can't help you now This is not what I want But this is what we need This world has left us many scars to take But for one moment we made them fade away So even as the sea divides And we traverse in on different tides We feel not pain, live free of hate Begin again Makes you feel so alone And it devastates me I can't help you now This is not what I want But this is what we need to Move through this life Makes you feel so alone And it devastates me I can't help you now This is not what I want But this is what we need to Move through this life Move through this life

Flipside 04:16
We know that you've been so troubled and had so much to decide And we've seen you tell how you came out the other side But nothing ever changes who you are Or who you want to be Changing shape to fit in and be the star Oh what a life All we want is something That we can call our own This is why we must move on It's so sad to leave you Don't get me wrong I'm not saying you shouldn't do what you want But you're breaking lives up and acting like you just don't And we've seen the lies And you still deny But nothing ever changes who you are Or who you want to be Changing shape to fit in and be the star Oh what a life All we want is something That we can call our own This is why we must move on It's so sad to leave you Life is getting older The world is getting colder And we are all we have And so I will see you on the flipside The sky is so clear tonight Been taken for such a ride At least there's an end in sight For us All we want is something That we can call our own This is why we must move on It's so sad to leave you Life is getting older The world is getting colder And we are all we have And so I will see you on the flipside

Aesthetics 06:51
Such hypocrisy Such twisted beauty Burning desire only to judge Fake smile of reassurance I have never felt so alone as now But I'm not on my own by any stretch And so This feeling starts to grow I want, I hesitate The staring, hatred tearing through the air I feel like I can't stay because truth it has worn out Can't see the light of day for all the insults and doubt Isolated, I am warped just like wood in choking heat Rarely changes, no matter who you meet Sophisticated Domesticated Generalise, something of a frequency The crevasse is deeper than you'll ever see Time changes so many things I see But this plague it infests perpetually And so Do you want to know My flaws? My past mistakes? My deepest deepest insecurites? I feel like I can't stay because truth it has worn out Can't see the light of day for all the insults and doubt Isolated, I am warped just like wood in choking heat Rarely changes, no matter who you meet Some things are truly beautiful to me Aesthetics or morbid irony And so This feeling will not let go Still want, still hesitating Don't know just what you're creating I'm breaking you keep taking it all Too late now I fall into myself I feel like I can't stay because truth it has worn out Can't see the light of day for all the insults and doubt Isolated, I am warped just like wood in choking heat Rarely changes, no matter who you meet

Saviours 04:52
Look at all the people on their way, as all the lies keep building up Fed to us and growing day by day, they just can't get enough You can feel it, you see it, you know it yet they, show no signs of letting up Who could blame them, the power it flows their way, we need to prove our worth You wanted to take it all away You wanted to squeeze the life from me You wanted to force us all to say 'we obey' Say we will not be, will not be denied Or we won't go down, down without a fight, no This world was not built for fairness, or self-awareness, compassion or even love But if we can just break these walls down, maybe our minds can grow Don't let them take this away from you You know just what to do Say we will not be, will not be denied Or we won't go down, down without a fight, no We are the saviours of all that we wish to be We can see through you and All of these trials we've gone through will cease to be You can't squeeze the life from me Time will slip away Say we will not be, will not be denied Or we won't go down, down without a fight, no We are the saviours of all that we wish to be We can see through you and All of these trials we've gone through will cease to be You can't squeeze the life from me Squeeze the life from me

Sparks rain down from time to time Memories fall through my mind Slipping out of my weak grip Reality I struggle with Soon truth crashes down on me Now nothing more than a dream Nothing more than a dream You showed me all I could be Come back to me I'm not long for this world Whatever I have left Our own end we did create I hear screams again, through my head they grate I can't take this own my own And all that I touch feels so much colder than the world we used to know You made me just who I was Gave me purpose gave me cause Made me see I had a heart Now all that's fallen apart Farewell to my sense of self For you gave that to me as well Gave that to me as well Finish me now Finish this now Oh please finish me now I'm not long for this world Whatever I have left Our own end we did create I hear screams again, through my head they grate I can't take this own my own And all that I touch feels so much colder than the world we used to know So here I stand All that I have ever known has Turned to dust Like we slowly faded away I wish I knew How all this would feel beside you But there is no time to dwell This life is mine to live... Time is always marching on Turn towards the setting sun Though your time may soon be done Live as though it's just begun Time is always marching on Turn towards the setting sun Though your time may soon be done Live as though it's just begun Live as though it's just begun Live as though it's just begun
