Splintered and Broken
04:25

ignorant child!
splintered, broken
words left unspoken
hold in my hands, my heart, abandoned
too scared to face it, but powerless to break it
alone for the first time, but not for the last time
assembling the pieces of this splintered pile
splintered, broken
words left unspoken
hole in my hands, my heart, abandoned
ignorant child can you find your way home this time?
this splintered pile of bones tells me no
seeds that were sewn are now overgrown
smothering and choking this garden that once was me
like a stab in my back you were there for me
picking at the pieces of the pile
taking all that’s left, i see i’m your trophy
a mantle-prop of this once innocent child
broken
for every piece unbroken
splintered
a thousand more are falling down
alone for the first time, but not for the last time
you’re smothering and choking this garden of me

Stand Alone
03:57
|

envision a picture-perfect life
then watch that picture slowly fade away
a frame of colors too blurred to see
but memories that echo loud and clear
have to see to believe
cannot make the leap to believe in a faith that opens you up to be deceived
how i’m looking to believe; still i want to believe
oh, how i want to believe
i stand alone
why is it we must suffer eternal isolation?
just let it pass it will soon be over
it’s almost over now
you better waste no time
or you’ll find you’ve wasted life
won’t you let it go?
you feel your life is wasted time and time has wasted you
content to lie and sleep, but breathless sleep lasts forever
now close your eyes
and say good night

Forgiveness
04:49
|
|||
now that you're cold and dead inside
nothing for me
now that you’ve taken on my life
i've never seen it through your eyes
that part of me that you despise
i should have taken your advice
and left you cold and dead, like me
sorrow
my only escape for too long
forgiveness
and opportunity now too far gone
an opportunity now gone
once in a lifetime an opportunity comes along to forgive someone
but you turned your back
and as i read between lines
your story falls apart
as i look in from the outside
i see you’re cold and dead at heart
sorrow
how long will it be until i see forgiveness?
this time it has to end, but nothing’s there
bleeding out intense frustration; seething
always just one more moment
no way, not here
bleeding out just one more moment
take away this whole from nothing
i finally see it in your eyes
you're bleeding me
what is it that you see in me?
i'm nothing!
why can’t you let me go?

The Powers that Bleed
04:16
|
|||
in my own time i will rise
into the light i walk all alone, where no man can cower me
where innocence is lost
not a stronger man in power
why deny what goes inside of me?
this passion, sickness fills the air i’m breathing
no sin
nothing ever goes as planned down here
i'm so cold inside
fear is lost on me
feel the power bleed
you can't stop this denigration
the best intentions fail, without fail
innocent to me, these powers that bleed
inside i'm just so cold
never fall
into the light i walk alone
breathe in sick and breathe out life
when innocence is lost, enter the powers that bleed

Autumn Leaves
05:55
|
|||
hell, deep inside, is knowing that you'll walk away
turning, falling, fading out as you're never less than eternity away
i'm sorry for ever trusting you
this emotion was the only thing left true
these chains remain
pulling me under again and again
love - no love
you tell me it's over before it begins
never again will i see your smile
love turns inside out
unfelt, but not in me
never again will i die inside from lies
you never said you're sorry
you turned away
instinctively i wall you out to a memory that fades away (in time)
tears of sorrow cannot wash away this stain of pain
but the clean the slate anew
this pain remains
pulling me under again and again
love - to know love
is to know that it's over before it begins
never again will i feel your breath
love holds pain's touch
unfelt, but not in me
never again will i die inside from lies
turn away
walk tall through leaves that fall
this never ends for me
you walked away from me and left me for dead
but now my dead hands rise
and now my lost soul flies
never again with your lies!
tell me it's over before it begins
never again - no love
unfelt - never
