DEN OF LIONS 04:00
I see you shape shift right in front of me Then shed your skin like it aint nothing If honesty's your mantra I dont believe it You see the thing about lies, they come with a down side When your secrets all become weaponised And everyone by your side Will fucking spin on a dime Fresh meat! Fresh meat! In the den of lions And man we're fucking hungry So just give it to me Give it to me This isnt hope you're feeling now It's just a hole you're filling all your dreams with Now, now, now Its time to, its time to, its time to Turn this around You try to buy our silence With empty pockets How can you rule us from Inside a fucking coffin A fool will be hypnotised By his own flame catching fire Consuming air he needs to survive For a moment in the light This isnt hope you're feeling now It's just a hole you're filling all your dreams with Now, now, now This hate will never heal you now I will not play in your game just to please you Now, now, now It's time to, its time to, its time to Turn this around Nobody loves you Nobody could I've see you fade away and Nothing has felt this good Nothing has felt so good ENJOY THE FLAMES MOTHERFUCKER This isnt hope you're feeling now It's just a hole you're filling all your dreams with Now, now, now This hate will never heal you now I will not play in your game just to please you Now, now, now It's time to, its time to, its time to Turn this around

SUNSHINE 03:27
My sense of compassion has led me astray I've fooled myself to believe it's all ok And I'm trying, I'm trying to be part of this Cos I'm just like you I am so full of shit And I worry About fucking nothing But every little small thing Just chips away until it all comes crashing down on me Can't fight this feeling that is haunting me It's like I lost my grip on all reality I'm so used to being let down My head's in the sky But my life's underground It's like this fucking depression Feels like a fucking obsession Don't want to feel a thing I want to feel nothing I get lost in distracation to keep myself sane The world is much clearer when I'm in a daze I am just so damn tired of trying to be someone That I am just happy to fuck it all up And I worry About fucking nothing But every little small thing Just eats away until there's nothing left inside of me Can't fight this feeling that is haunting me It's like I lost my grip on all reality I'm so used to being let down My head's in the sky But my life's underground It's like this fucking depression Feels like a fucking obsession Don't want to feel it So tired of feeling It makes me feel I Should let go When I hold my head up high It never feels right, it always seems I'm Better in denial Cos this is where I can see the sunshine Can't fight this feeling that is haunting me It's like I lost my grip on all reality I'm so used to being let down My head's in the sky But my life's underground It's like this fucking depression Feels like a fucking obsession Don't want to feel a thing I want to feel nothing

PLAY GOD 05:04
Look at me Look at me Look at me Look at me, barely alive So unassuming in the way that I'm moving The way you like it Memories pass me While suspended in the static, Doors slide Right now I just can't fucking take this Guess what, I know that you are full of shit Every word you say cuts like a razor And every smile is a blade of betrayal Can't you see there's no fight left in me So just of once won't you just fuck let me be Let me be All this pain that lies beneath Will pull me down And if there's a way to stop this feeling Show me how Don't want to be the sinner Each time you want to play God Play God Powerless, paralysed Come on baby seduce me Cos the way you abuse me Gets me high Right now I just can't fucking take this Let go, release me and I will submit Just let me go to my place 'til it's over It's never over It's never over Cos I have tried to survive as a lesser life Each time you're done You will not let me fucking die Let me die All this pain that lies beneath Will pull me down And if there's a way to stop this feeling Show me how Don't want to be the sinner Each time you want to play God Play God I guess you just can't tell the difference Between the sacred and the slave Between what you keep on your alter And what you keep in a cage Now you can't pray this away No you can't pray this away No you can't pray this away You can't pray this away All this pain that lies beneath Will pull me down And if there's a way to stop this feeling Show me..... All this pain that lies beneath Will pull me down And if there's a way to stop this feeling Show me how Don't want to be the sinner Each time you want to play god Play God

SIRENS 04:17
We follow the sound Like it's some kind of blessing If we can't figure it out This shit's gonna get messy Cos we're working it out but it's proving ineffective When you're upside down it's hard to get perspective Cos we're working it out but it's proving ineffective When your upside down it's hard to get perspective They sing on the water but we cannot hear what they say Capsized on the rocks and our screams are drowned out by the waves We're tangled in their snare now Cannot chew our way out Something is telling me we're not supposed to be saved We're goin' down down down We follow the tides That pull the wrong direction We're chasing the sun To capture it's reflection And we're blocking it out and it's proving ineffective When you're upside down it's hard to get perspective And we're blocking it out and it's proving ineffective When your upside down it's hard to get perspective They sing on the water but we cannot hear what they say Capsized on the rocks and our screams are drowned out by the waves We're tangled in their snare now Cannot chew our way out Something is telling me we're not supposed to be saved We're goin' down down down You say no fair, there was no warning shots What! Are you kidding me? They're pretty much all we fucking got You're telling me, you're surprised how we got here It's like fishing for dickheads with hand grenades It's probably time you weren't fucking here! They sing on the water but we cannot hear what they say Capsized on the rocks and our screams are drowned out by the waves We're tangled in their snare now Cannot chew our way out Something is telling me we're not supposed to be saved We're goin' down down down

It pretty clear we've lost our minds When I say stop you see it as a way to cross a line And every second that we suffer we are closer to neglecting signs That lead our way out If I could give you all my love I know you'd make every heart beat hurt I would give you all the world But dont you think its been broken enough? So we all just cut off our hands so we don't feel this And the whole world covers it's eyes so we don't see this Is it time to curl up and die? Is it claustrophobic inside your mind Since all your thoughts caved in? That little bit of fear metamorphosized And twisted you up, inside out and I can't believe that im still breathing You know I gave you my heart still beating Like every moment this will come to pass At least we saved the best for last So we all just cut off our hands so we don't feel this And the whole world covers it's eyes so we don't see this So we all just cut off our hands so we don't feel this And the whole world covers it's eyes so we don't see this Is it time to curl up and die? The fat lady sings and we pray that it's over We count all our blessings then beg for some more But the frequency's jammed and we can't get a word in I guess this is it..... the heroes ain't comin' I can't believe that im still breathing You know I gave you my heart still beating Like every moment this will come to pass At least we saved the best for last So we all just cut off our hands so we don't feel this And the whole world covers it's eyes so we don't see this So we all just cut off our hands so we don't feel this And the whole world covers it's eyes so we don't see this Is it time to curl up and die?

I pray to god it wouldnt come to this, Cos these secrets that you're sleeping on are now awake AWAKE!! These bloodstains aint going away They're in your soul So forget someone else to blame Where does this not make sense? Inside out you're destroyed in the evidence Down to the core your are screaming Guilty Oh, i've no doubt that this world will chew you up and spit you out Oh, i've no doubt that this world will chew you up and spit you out There is no strength in weakness If you live, if you die, nature couldn't care less The deal is joy or pain You've picked your number Better play that game This will be all gone in a breath Oh, i've no doubt that this world will chew you up and spit you out Oh, i've no doubt that this world will chew you up and spit you out So damn easlily So fuckin' ealisy Like the piece of shit..shit!! Like the piece of shit You are but won't admit it, no! I pray to god it wouldnt come to this, no I pray to god it wouldnt come to Wouldnt come to, wouldnt come to this I have no doubt That this world will chew you up and spit you out Oh, i've no doubt that this world will chew you up and spit you out

FIRE AT WILL 04:06
Hate is the bane of my life I've tried but I can't stop it It fucks like a bullet and Soothes just like barbed wire I've been happy But before too long It feels very wrong Whats that about? I must stay in love with this pain As torture goes, I know this is they way I want this so all my mistakes And all of my sins are forgiven Oh Its time for the pity parade, cos you're alone So damn excited to finally let you know That everything that I said to you, I never meant it Cos it is not what you say, right? Its how you sell it Its how you sell it Let me bleed, bleed for once Call it a mercy kill And fire at will before I go numb I got a feeling that you're living Now to just piss me off Go run with razors or Kiss some electricity Oh you got me Nestled in a closed fist Like a little bitch Whats that about I must stay addicted to shame As penance goes, i know this is the way I need this, i'll take all the blame So all my mistakes are forgiven Let me bleed, bleed for once Call it a mercy kill And fire at will before I go numb I just want speak like I've got something to say And you'll pretend you care anyway I want to reach out I want to hold on before I let go I dont believe this You used to say we'd bleed as one Now you've dishonoured everything I ever fucking loved Let me bleed, bleed for once Call it a mercy kill And fire at will before I go numb I just want speak like I've got something to say And you'll pretend you care anyway I want to reach out I want to hold on before I let go

TO NIGHT 03:49
I always though I was invincible But now I'm just invisible And I've been living here as a ghost Come serenade me with a sideways glance From behind a wall of broken glass Come medicate me, put me in a trance It feels like fucking war Without saying a word Don't drown me in the light Cos I am holding on to night Afraid now to let go Of what I don't know Can we take this down a decibel Now, before my fucking head explodes It feels like fucking war Without saying a word We've hidden all we are Behind dishonest harmony Don't drown me in the light Cos I am holding on to night Afraid now to let go Of what I don't know Darkness comes to me Like a bitter-sweet epiphany Now that the sun has faded, It's so clear that sight was over-rated Don't drown me in the light Cos I am holding on to night Don't drown me in the light Cos I am holding on to night

THICKER SKIN 05:16
Where do you get this attitude from kid? It's like you know you are right Even though you are a fool I've seen all the walls Of arrogance fall Man, they caved in When they got far too high For their tiny little roots "Give me more" You scream into the void "I want the richest skin something to hide my weakness in" I am lost in a rhythm Heading for collision Oh, I'm totally out of my zone Man on a mission All trigger, no vision oh I've no control And I think I'll hurt you so Don't force my hand It's all I need So just leave me alone Come on get up off the floor And don't let the door offend you as you leave My god you are so casually Hooked on fucking sympathy It's so sad to see Please no more Cos I am fuckin bored Just grow some thicker skin Something to sink my teeth in I am lost in a rhythm Heading for collision Oh, I'm totally out of my zone Man on a mission All trigger, no vision oh I've no control And I think I'll hurt you so Don't force my hand It's all I need So just leave me alone No I can't, I can't wait No I can't, I can't wait No I can't, I can't wait No I can't, I can't wait No I can't, I can't wait To slap that smile off your fucking face You're full of shit & confidence You imitate importance You take everything and do your best To make it all about yourself Actions have consequence You dime store narcissist I am lost in a rhythm Heading for collision Oh, I'm totally out of my zone Man on a mission All trigger, no vision oh I've no control And I think I'll hurt you so Don't force my hand It's all I need So just leave me alone

MICHAEL 04:12
Husband & Father Tell us we are all dreaming And that you're not really leaving us all Cos in this chaos I don't even know if this is all real When you were taken Man, i tried so hard, but couldn't believe it Your family Is your legacy, I know there was nothing more important Than the people that you loved I want my life to flash before my eyes While I'm alive So I can see you one more time One more time It's like I'm waiting all my life All my life To say goodbye Brother, Grandfather Show us that you can hear us And that these black skies will clear up one day Cos in the silence Just a single note can fill up a room We'll bring the voices All you have to do is bring the tune And we'll sing that song again We will sing that song again I want my life to flash before my eyes While I'm alive So I can see you one more time One more time It's like I'm waiting all my life All my life To say goodbye I'm holding on to hurt that I've denied I've denied Until i see you one more time I won't cry And I will wait for all my life All my life To say goodbye Say goodbye I want my life to flash before my eyes While I'm alive So I can see you one more time One more time It's like I'm waiting all my life All my life To say goodbye I'm holding on to hurt that I've denied I've denied Until i see you one more time I won't cry And I will wait for all my life All my life To say goodbye Say goodbye
