This Reality

V1
I just dream of a me I wanna be
Hope left me, I could not keep up
Lethargy holds fast and I can’t move
I would rather die than survive
Pre C
The only thing stopping me is me
But I can’t help myself
Chorus
This reality is far too real
I’m sinking, I’m drowning, in you
This reality is far too real
I’m screaming, I’m calling, for you
V2
I wish I was just like you
Staring at you wishing me away
If I hold my breath, maybe I would disappear
Easy does it I heard them say
Bridge
Hopelessly I feel too real
This reality I want to steal
Hopeless all I want to feel
This reality is far too real

Break My Bones

|
V1
I hang my head I’m done excusing you.
Theres no reason for what you put me through.
Is there nothing in your angry heart?
Heed your words they cut right through the bone.
Be careful do you want to throw the stone.
I really hate the way you put me down.
Pre C
Your tounge is laced with lies.
More than you realise.
The truth’s too heavy now.
Chrorus
We will meet again,
Sooner than you’d like.
I’ll still be your friend,
Though you choose to fight.
We will meet again,
Further down the line.
Your words could break my bones,
Stones would never hurt me.
V2
I should be angry but it’s nothing new.
You’re so far gone you even think it’s true.
How can you care so little for me now.
It’s your arrogance that makes me weep,
So hard to forget how we used to speak.
I’ll be here waiting when you come back down.

God Given

|
V1
Lying on the ground foaming at the mouth
Kneeling at your bed talking to yourself.
Tearing at the seams , shaking uncontrollably.
Speaking in tounges, no one understands.
Pre C
Look at you, nothing new, you supply for the weak
I see through, what you do, I defy all your lies
Chorus
How do you justify your means to an end
You steal, you judge, you kill and bend
the truth to suit you over them
No one dare take your cross away.
Your God given right no matter the price others pay.
Lay waste to the world around you
while your saviour obscures your view
V2
Taking what you need, breaking without heed
Shameless holy men, dealing to their herds.
Feel the rush again, pumping through your veins.
Gods deprave us, though you swear they save.
Bridge
Look at you, noithing new,
you supply for the weak
I see through, what you do
I defy all your lies.

Keep Me Out Of This
03:31
|
|||
|
V1
I used to think we were friends
But you gave new meaning to
”That’s what friends are for”
Maybe I was naive, thinking
You would be here without
Nothing to gain
Pre C
You don’t see me, you
Only see yourself
What a lonely life it must be
To have so many pawns to hand
Chorus
Keep me out of this
I don’t want to hear
Keep it to yourself
’coz I see through all your lies
Keep me out of this
I don’t want to hear
Keep it to yourself
’coz I see through you
V2
I can see your lips move
But all I get from you are
Your cheap promises
It doesen’t mean anything
You have made that quite clear
To me time and again
Bridge
You don’t fool me
God, you’re such a waste of time
You don’t fool me
God, you’re such a waste of time
Keep me out of this
Keep it to yourself

The Folly of Man
05:03
|
|||
|
V1
We do this to ourselves.
We’ve opened the door.
Our ignorance a warm embrace.
Our refusal to change.
When the masses die the few will follow.
There’s no where left to hide.
Greed culminates in destruction.
The folly of man.
Pre C
Putting self before survival.
Building towers higher to escape.
Fill the world with waste, blacken the skies.
But the stench is rising, coming to swallow us whole.
V2
The green we care to save,
worth nothing to us now.
Paper printed in disappear,
lulls us to sleep.
Chorus
The fires burning.
The seeds are dying.
Dragged back to the depths.
To the decay below.
V3
What good is money, when there’s nothing to buy?
The funeral pyres dwarf anything we’ve made.
Your thoughts and prayers, they won’t help you now.
Kicking and screaming, all hope is gone.
Outro
We did this to our selves
We do this to our selves
We did this to our selves
We’ve done this to ourselves

Pick up the Pieces
05:08
|
|||
|
V1
Heavy headed, I make my way home,
Sometimes I wish you would follow.
But I can’t deal with consequence,
though God you’d make me whole.
Sweating disease it creeps down my back,
I twist and I turn nothing helps me.
You think you know better, really you do,
but I’ll tell you something.
Sweating disease, it creeps down my back.
Pre C
Shut up, just shut up!
You don’t know how I feel.
Your judgment, your judgment.
I know this is real.
Chorus
Pick up the pieces,
We’ve made such a mess.
Just walk away.
Crush and destroy what’s left.
Pick up the pieces.
You’ve learnt from the best.
Either way you’ll never be the same again.
Be the same again.
V2
Sedated I make my way home,
I’m glad that you don’t want to follow.
I’m no ones to keep you’d end up alone
No one could take me home.
The sickness in me is holding me back,
It’s not what I want but it tricks me.
I think that I’m better, stronger than you,
but I’m slowly losing, to you.
Sickness in me it’s holding me back
Pre C 2
Back off, just back off!
I know what I feel.
I’m sick of your judgment.
Let me tell you what’s real.

Take it from Me
05:53
|
|||
|
V1
A call from the inside, masked by my outside,
the true part of me.
If I could face it, you might embrace it,
differently.
I take back the words I say to you.
’Cause they are the truth I wont share with you.
Pre C
Tail between your legs.
Run from me.
Diddn’t want to try, i was no one’s to keep.
Stay, i need more time to open up.
I would like to stay, but i’m no ones to keep.
Chorus
It’s easy to stab a heart worn on the sleeve.
My defences are down i’m willing to believe.
So easy to take what’s given for free.
But i wont let you take it, take it from me.
It’s easy to stab a heart worn on the sleeve.
My defences are down i’m willing to believe.
So easy to take what’s given for free.
But i wont let you, take it from me.
V2
I don’t make it easy.
Blink and you’d miss it.
Its not what it seems.
Just for a second,
you saw what was hidden,
deep wthin me.
Confused by the things i share with you,
but that is the truth that I can’t see through.

Let it all Go
03:52
|
|||
|
V1
Let me float in your heart,
for a minute or two.
How did they let you down?
I will leave again, I will leave again,
whenever you want.
Before i drown.
I let you under my skin.
You started cutting within.
Are we doomed to repeat?
And i was bleeding out, while you were breathing in.
I’d accept defeat.
Pre C
You let me see what you are,
Just for a second or two.
Is there a reason you sin?
Now i run away, i must run away.
Before you break my skin
you break my skin.
Chorus
You came along for a show.
I came along for the ride.
I’m at the edge of my seat.
And i will let it all go.
Now I will let it all go.
You let me touch the top of your spine,
but not the tip of you heart
With light fingertips i touch the edge of your lips,
but not the way that you want.

Lost Yourself
03:45
|
|||
|
V1
who are you? I thought I knew you
dressed in a disguise
a different view, another side to you
hides what's in your eyes
Pre C
Have I ever heard a word of truth?
do you even know who you are?
you're pretending to be just like me
But I can see you, I can see
Chorus
so scared to be alone
you pretend to be someone else
so scared to be alone
you've lost yourself
Verse2
be my friend, a deep connection
placed before all else
its our secret, that's your deception
you do it for your self.
Pre C2
Have I ever heard a word of truth?
do you even know who I am?
you're pretending to be just like me
But you can't see me, no you can't see
Bridge
so many lies, they're soaked in alibis.
how many times, before you realise?
there's no one left, no one to trust you
you're all alone, you used up all your lives

You Think you Know Me
04:06
|
|||
|
V1
Have you never wanted freedom?
I never wanted to believe.
Accepted all you were told.
I questioned every word.
Forced to accept your place.
Spoon-fed with their lies.
To suffer and to serve.
They've blinded your eyes.
Pre C
You need to feel loved,
it's all in your head.
Chosen and special,
that's what I dread.
Chorus
Judge me for being me
and condemn me to your hell.
No salvation awaits,
You think you know so well.
You think you know me!
V2
Believe your sins justified.
Trust in false scripture.
Read the text as gospel,
but these are no words of God.
Canonized frauds,
to quench your thirst.
Monopolized redemption,
just to line your purse.
Bridge
Relief through release, escape this belief.
Your place is beneath, unless you cease.
