Lies were spoken Trust was broken After all that we’ve been through I still want to trust you But how can I forgive? How can I forget? Ring around this broken Pocket full of promises All fall down Your vows turned to ashes This is the dance You can’t break the broken You can’t break a broken man You can’t bend unbending You can’t bend unbending will So this is the dance Round and round we go This is the dance With this… Ring around this broken Pocket full of promises All fall down Your vows turned to ashes Trust still broken After all that we’ve been through I still love you Ring around this broken Pocket full of promises All fall down Your vows turned to ashes This is the dance

The human kind, in full decline Breaks down society Bring to life the things you thought, the things you hold so dear To me they’re just another case of lost identity Division of the masses breaks my heart The vision of the masses blinds my eyes The human mind will never learn From past mistakes Pay the price. The price we pay is paid in pain And all that’s left is just another case of mass conformity Division of the masses breaks my heart The flaw is in the design Human nature overrides The very best made plans Of mice and men Go! Why don’t you Let me live I’m not ready to die I’m not ready to let you live The flaw is in the design Human nature overrides The very best made plans

Live Living deep within Living to pretend the pain was never really there Fight Fighting all your life Fighting so that we don’t see it in your eyes Break through! Breaking through the static mold as you tear down the walls And then you break the mold, you shoulder it all Die Dying deep within Dying to pretend I see it in your eyes No one knew No one cared Break him down, but no one cares The silent man is always there You break him down Break through the walls of your own living hell If the soul is a prison, tell me where we go from here Break through! Breaking through the static mold as you tear down the walls And then you break the mold, you shoulder it all Live Living deep within Living to pretend the pain was never really there Fight all your life Fighting so that we don’t see it in your eyes Break him down, but no one cares The silent man is always there No one knew, and no one cared The silent man was always there No one knew No one cared Did his life or his death make a sound? The silent man

These empty fields Now green with time Cover the scars Of life left behind No white crosses Or flowers to tell The names of the missing Or of those who fell These Empty Fields Hold your last breath A shattered mind A broken soul If you survive A life-long toll "No man left behind" That’s the line you’re told Fighting for freedom That’s how you are sold Trade in your name for a number Trade your mind for sand Fight ‘til the death Do you kill on command? These Empty Fields Hold your last breath Blessed are the fallen Whose bodies lie broken Buried and crossed off In these empty fields Blessed are our fallen sons These empty fields These empty fields! These empty fields are calling…me!

What goes around must certainly come back around If all things are connected, can mistakes be corrected? Maybe not, but if so You’d think we would know by now Cycles repeating Move fast, resource depleting Of the earth, we are Scraped by, so far What we are, what we build All is lost We all must return to dust We survive; how long? Heed these words and despair These works will last forever! Epitaph in eternity Monuments turned hollow shells Dwell now in the land of dust! I claim to be nothing Nothing more than I am Determination in a voice We all have a choice We all must return to dust Withered lives move on Heed these words and despair These works will last forever! Epitaph in eternity Monuments turned hollow shells Dwell now in the land of dust! We all must return to dust We survive; how long? Withered lives move on Heed these words and despair These works will last forever! Epitaph in eternity In eternity Monuments turned hollow shells Dwell now in the land of dust!

Desensitized 02:25
I have no regrets I have no remorse The flame, it burns at both ends Now it’s my turn I have become desensitized Nowhere to run You’re out of time Deadly decline I have become desensitized Nowhere to run Ignore the warning signs There’s nowhere to run You’re out of time Let the cries hear you Let their cries tear you Let the cries hear you Let their cries

Erase 04:39
Confrontation; separation Removal of church from the state Brilliance fades as emotions fail Too little - a little too late How can you sit back watching it all unfold Brace now for impact as you start to lose it all Cannot withstand these let-downs again When all I have done is erased in time I think I know now what your angle is And the way to stop you cold Mono 'y mono is the way And I can't find any other way to say I will never, I will not be erased…Erase! I have lived too long for all your condescension I will not be putting you back on your shelf But you always knew exactly what to say When all I have done is erased in time I think I know now what your angle is And the way to stop you cold Mono 'y mono is the way And I can't find any other way to say I will never, I will not be erased All this time, I thought you could feel the sun At least you should. Then you would never; never have to be alone If there ever was a time when you backed your ass up on the line And I thought maybe we had a chance Though you knew we’d never last I can't hold back or you would say I tried to get away And I’ll grace you with a smile You will be the extra mile When all I have done is erased in time I think I know now what your angle is And the way to stop you cold Mono 'y mono is the way And I can't find any other way to say I will never, I will not be erased Now it's back on you How do you like me now? Now it's back on you…On you! Erase!

Holding On 03:45
This is my curse; self-inflicted This is my will; struck down Once more, pride caused my fall To pick me up, that’s your call You say I’ve had my chances You say I’m never changing Look inside I’m bearing all I have But only to the door you’re closing Don’t walk away No sleep tonight I’m wide awake tracing all these shadows on the wall Lying alone I wonder if you’re cold out there, like your heart of stone This is my; this is my self destruction This is my; this is my self-inflicted How much time will it take to heal? ‘Cause life’s too short Regret, everlasting Grief, too long Each and every memory just like another wound It’s time to heal Time to heal! And somehow all I hate about you is gone And so now all that’s left is me dying to see you again This is me; this is me when hope fails This is me; this is me oh just barely Holding on Oh, just barely Holding on Never again to see your face Never again to feel you This is me; this is me when hope fails This is me; this is me oh just barely Holding on Oh, just barely Holding on

You Bet you left 'em cold If I scream, would you understand? If I break down, would you hold my hand? You're not the only one who's lost his shining sun You're not the only You're not the only! If I smashed the silence, would you hear me? Or is it better left Better left unsaid? You Bet you left 'em cold You couldn't hear and couldn't see I cannot breathe When it's all lost; taken away What's left to be? You're not the only one who's lost his shining sun You're not the only You're not the only one who has lost all his life

Cut from the vein Severed thread of life Down fell a man Cut to his core Humbled and beaten Humbled, beaten down Up rose a sickening sound His crushed, broken shell You, me That's how it used to be No more, this time Now I know you Taste life Sometimes it's bitter That’s how you know You know you’re alive Take this moment, throw it all away Take tomorrow, throw it all away I cast these things aside Make no mistake; I know you now I see right through you And how it's just a sick game of breaking lives And now it's for the win Take tomorrow, throw it all away Take forever, throw it all away For life would you throw me…? For this moment would you…? For life would you throw me away? For this moment would you hold me down? Take tomorrow, throw it all away Take forever, throw it all Throw it all away

System Fails 04:29
Parasite! Born to bleed the system Fail to feed the system Need to need the system Live to leech the system dry What do you do when the system fails? Fall down, stay down Parasite, always feeding What do you do when the blood runs dry? Fall apart, but that's ok After all, we know it's just your way Brick by brick You’re building the walls to your own prison cell Fall apart, but that's ok After all, we know it's just your way Point your finger with no discretion But who's to blame when it’s at your reflection? Not your fault No, it was never, ever your fault That's right! Brick by brick You're building the walls to your own living hell Parasite! The system fails Parasite! Crumbles before you Parasite! It's not your fault Parasite! Mediadore you Fall apart, but that's ok After all, we know it's just your way Blame the system to no avail But some would say that it was you who failed Some play the victim for all to see Some say the victim's society
