001 . Adios
Decision weighing on me
Judgement clouding my mind
Just look at what you've started now
How could we understand?
I don't ask why, I don't ask what it means
It may not be as crazy as it seems
A line is drawn, a line is crossed
Are we gonna dig another grave?
The systematic breakdown
A system addicted
We fail to change ourselves, we pour
The salt to feel the burn
I don't ask why, I don't ask what it means
It may not be as crazy as it seems
A line is drawn, a line is crossed
Are we gonna dig another grave?
Bury the secrets
Extinguish the life
And you know why
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
002 . Pedophile
I was not born afraid
You made me that way
With what you've said and what you've done
It never seems to fade
What you want from me I can't give
But I think you knew
This is what you get
Why a choice when you hate my choice
You call this a gift
There's no sense in anything at all
I'll break it down, I'll break it all down
I'll take it on, I'll take it on for you
I'll wear it well, just show me how
I just want to make you happy
Let it be, this mortal stain
You can't explain what you've done
But I'm confused
Did you mean those things?
Should I fly, fly away
These are days when I lose myself
When I can't get through
When I look to you
You carry on like there's nothing wrong
Like I should be strong
But I'm barely hanging on
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
003 . Face Down
I hate to disappoint you
I hate to make you live like you do
You can't escape the reason
One way only to get you through
So run and hide
It's what you know
And see inside
It's what you get
Just tell me one thing
While you take it face down
Will you beg for it now?
Cause I want to know
Way too apathetic
Living the statistic ensues
With one too many feelings
With nothing left to help you get through
You cheat and lie
It's what you know
How sweet the sound
It's what you get
Just tell me one thing
While you take it face down
Will you beg for it now?
Cause I want to know
I hate to disappoint you
I hate to make you feel like you do
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
004 . Last Mistake
I've worked so hard to come this far
Does that mean anything at all?
I stoked the fire, I took control
And now you know I can't give it up
A welcome disease
Force me on my knees
In deeper, now I feel the squeeze
I need to scream out
While drowning in doubt
And this, the last mistake I'll make
I wonder why it passed me by
And how you make it look so easy
I'm underneath it all
I try to read the scrawl in front of me
But I can't quite make it out
A welcome disease
Force me on my knees
In deeper, now I feel the squeeze
I need to scream out
While drowning in doubt
And this, the last mistake I'll make
That I'll make, that I'll make and you can hold me to the fire
I'm on fire, I'm on fire and there's no stopping this course
I've tried so hard
I've worked so hard
And now you know I won't give it up
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
005 . Out Like a Soldier
Wandering for far too long
My body's giving up
Feeling every step I take
And every blade and grain
Doing what I can and
What I'm told, so I'm told
Wear the reasons on my shoulders
Praying for daylight
And I swear I'll make it through
What I earn I give to you
Although some may lose their heads
I know I can prevail
Sitting in dark corners alone
Praying for daylight
And I swear I'll make it through
What I earn I give to you
Without question
No question
I swear
Taste of metal, smell of oil
I'm running for my life
Wandering for far too long
And praying for daylight
And I swear I'll make it through
What I earn I give to you
And I swear I'll make it through
What I've earned I give to you
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
006 . The Host
I don't think you would believe me
If I told you everything they're conceiving
That you are the one they are deceiving
But you go ahead, keep on believing
Just close your eyes
Those parasites you let inside
Will tear your life apart in time
You're just the host with no control
This is all you've ever known
It comes as no surprise I failed to recognize the signs
Time to start running
I don't think you could forgive me
It's too hard and you're too lazy
So you hold it in, shut it out, let it build, feel it now?
This can't be undone
It's all the same, it's just a game
You gotta play, they're just having a little fun
Those parasites you let inside
They will rip apart your life
You're just the host with no control
This is all you've ever known
It comes as no surprise I failed to recognize the signs
Better start running
So let it out
Put it on me
Their unfulfilled promises
And what your taught
You haven't learned
And you think I'll burn?
Those parasites you let inside
They are ripping up your life
You're just the host with no control
That's okay, it's all you know
It comes as no surprise I failed to recognize the signs
Gotta keep running home
It comes as no surprise
I failed you, I failed you
But we gotta keep running home

007 . So It Ends
The meaning isn't lost on me
There just doesn't seem to be anything but a memory
That never really meant a thing
Do you find it hard to avoid these things?
Does the truth hurt if you refuse to believe?
I think I need that miracle
Or did you already spend them all
It never was supposed to last this long
Well so it ends
A cryptic message well received
With no excuse or apology
Though it wasn't meant for me
I'm still taken with the words
That were sent like a fist to the eye
Now that I'm knocked down
Crawling on the ground
Punishment all around
I think I need that miracle
Or did you already spend them all
It never was supposed to last this long
It's time to wake up
The burden's on you
You gotta give me something
Well so it ends
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
008 . Lay to Waste
After all we will become the dust
Ignore the signs when they begin to rust
Lost the way along a well lit path
Dress it up to sell it off
Drink the pain right from the trough
I run and you say hold on
When all's said and done
What will we have won?
Nothing is for free
Will you follow me
I'll be back again
To lead you to the end
When all's said and done
I'm the only one
A dying man is all the proof we need
Growing from our mind just like a weed
Lay to rest while we lay all to waste
Bend the truth and break it off
Drink the pain right from the trough
I run and you say hold on
When all's said and done
What will we have won?
Nothing is for free
Unless you follow me
I'll be back again
To lead you to the end
When all's said and done
I'm the only one
I'm willing, am I the only one
I'm willing, but I'm the only one
