"Devil's Grip" Who am I I hate when I ask myself I feel like I should be alright, but I'm not Gut wrenching nervousness overwhelms What have I become? This man in the glass his days are done, as you can see and tell I hate when I ask myself, Do I live and stand for something? I had a good heart once I had a good heart once Surrounded by a sea of faces but cut off from human affection Will I live this life alone forever searching for a home? Always denying what I needed, It's never too late until your bleeding. I should feel right, but I swear I don't Well I must start again, this is not who I am Take a deep breath and look within it's in the past I can't change what's done yesterday's dead and gone But I've got today and I will make the best of it I MUST START AGAIN Who am I? Now that my armors been worn through A dull blade and I'm losing sight, but Im not giving in to the lies that consume These lies insult me This man in the glass his days are done as you can see and tell I hate when I ask myself, do I live and stand for something? I had a good heart once So much to do, where do I even start I've become a soulless husk A mindless drone from dawn to dusk, I've lost sight of it all So much to do, where do I even start Please atone me for my crime So filled with malice and hate I'm stuck in this calloused state Well who am I now that my life has been worn through A dull blade and I'm losing sight but I'm not giving in to the lies Well I must start again, this is not who I am Take a deep breath and look within it's in the past I can't change what's done yesterday's dead and gone But I've got today and I will make the best of it Who am I, now that my armors been worn through? A dull blade and I'm losing sight but I'm not giving into the lies

"Home insecurity" We exist We die Our moment in time A glimpse of eternity The brevity of life Something overlooked Something ignored Something spent fulfilling hollow goals Wealth, Lust, Addictions The American dream Misguided ideas of success Few truly find it Yet In the blink of an eye our lives will end And like anything in this world We fade away Leaving behind only the ideas and legacies The embodiment of our lives Who we once were You could live for so much more Don't be content with emptiness Tell me what you live for I refuse to fade To sell my life away for social gain To let this world dictate my success Becoming something so much more we are specks in the eyes Becoming something so much more we are specks in the eyes of humanity An idea can defy the test of time interlacing itself An idea can defy the test of time interlacing itself into the fibers of history So go Make your own existence Your own success And become an idea worth living and dying for

"The Better Man" Blinding darkness Frozen to the bone I see the darkness taking what was once my own life It seems that she's taking me underneath these vicious waves She's taking me underneath these waves Dragging me to the depths of the sea There's no hope in the open water with a vessel crippled from front to back We sail these violent seas but can we make it to the shore We sail these violent seas but can this ship withstand the waves We sail these violent seas through the waves We search the skyline to find the light we're desperate for We will make it We will make it to the shore Oh God, have we not seen these shipwrecks before? Like anchors, dragging me away Pulling me beneath the sea Pulling me under, pulling me faster, pulling us deep We are sinking But in the dark, a glimmer of hope Man your Stations, man your stations This ship is sinking (Pulling me under) This ship will take me with it (Pulling me faster) This ship is sinking (Pulling me under) If I choose to give up on it (Pulling me deeper) We've been fighting this battle this entire time with wounded hearts and blinded eyes This ship can't withstand another restless night Sailing in the open waters with a fractured compass has left me feeling lifeless I've questioned why I fight this But I have hope, because I know your lighthouse is on the shore so for the first time in a long time, I'm not afraid anymore Hoisting up my hope I sail through the sea You are the light This vessel will not sink! The light is shining Cutting through the darkness We will make it We will bring this vessel home

"Dr. Killinger" I believe in a greater truth about me and you I believe in a greater truth about both me and you I believe in a greater truth about me and you I'm sick of this world telling me what to do I'll pitch a fit, rip through the crowd I'll be the one to touch you I'm sick of this world telling me what to do I'll pitch a fit, rip through the crowd I'll be the one to break through I won't allow this hate to takeover my life I will embrace this peace and Love because in my heart I know that it's right My Identity is written in the stars People say I'm crazy but they all live the same Psychopaths are broken people who have all played the game It's like oh well what can you expect don't you know we're filthy sinners might as well embrace it It's all I hear day after day We can't change it, nothing matters, we were all born this way Listen, hear this message that they all confess if you ask me it will only leave you feeling heartless. I believe there's something greater than this world can comprehend It's expressed through a loving mother laying your life down for a friend Our lives reflect the truth we need to learn to see it It's not just something to believe in it comes from deep within You are not your mistakes you are exactly what He says I won't allow this hate to takeover my life I will embrace this peace and Love because in my heart I know that it's right I will embrace His peace and Love because in my heart I know that it's right So open your ears so the veil removes from your eyes Your story's written with the stars in the sky

"Return To Malice" Take your hands off of me Have you forgotten I will be ruthless Have you forgotten you are under my feet I won't let you run me anymore Your ways are pain and deceit My demise All that was before I had my faith Take your hands off of me I will not put up with this anymore I will be ruthless with my words In my pursuit Walk away I'll be ruthless I can't change what have I done All I know is I want out of here The feeling going head to head and here we go I'm coming back and I won't back down this time because your intimidations fading away Try not to look in the mirror because I didn't recognize myself, myself It's over, and I'm coming back and I won't back down this time no I won't I'm coming back and I won't back down I'm stronger so fear me now I won't back down I'm stronger now and I won't back down At times Life gives us more than we can bear as we become submerged gasping for air We can give up and drift away in fear or we can stand our ground and be free Bow down Make your face kiss the floor Fear your reign is no more Empowered by the one whose kingdom answers to no one Make your face kiss the floor Fear your reign is no more Empowered by the one Make your face kiss the floor Kiss the floor Have you forgotten you are under my feet? I won't let you run me anymore

"The Revenge Society" Give me courage to change my actions To reflect what's right To reflect To disown this anger that fills my heart Will take this time to make things right To alter the course and change the effects of a past engulfed by selfish gain and hollow words I have to believe that my actions will determine who I am Not just the words that come from my mouth So give me courage to do what needs to be done To become the man that I need to be Show me what it means to truly be free and shatter these chains that take a hold of me On a one way road surrounded by so much pain I have nowhere to go from here but forward This is the day where I act Where I take hold of a life I took for granted And start living by the morals that embody love, forgiveness, and patience So give me the courage to do what needs to be done On a one way road surrounded by disaster I have nowhere to go from here but forward I will stand with the strength of a fortress behind me And If it's something I can believe Then this is something I can achieve This is something that I believe I will believe

"Council Of Thirteen" Day after day I've noticed things have gone wrong Could people's opinions hurt me after all I've started agreeing with these words now they're creeping in my head What a mistake I am, what a screw up I've been led astray and I must stand up for what I know to be right because I'm just too far gone These thoughts of mine, will this cycle ever end where I'm always doing what I hate You call yourself a man Well I've got to wake up before it's too late I've been led astray Well these words they weren't affecting me until they became the words that I said This touch is so seductive It's sweeping me away Why does what I know will destroy me seem to have the sweetest taste This touch is so seductive Why does it seem to have the sweetest taste Who will wake me up from this hell Before it's too late, I've got to wake up I've been led astray and I must shake off this numbness that I've accepted for so long This is not what I wanted, this is not my song I will live the best I can just show me your ways These imaginations have seen their last days. Well I've got to wake up before it's too late, I've been let astray I've got to wake up Well these words, they weren't affecting me until they became the words that I said All it took was agreeing with these words now they're creeping in my head I've got to wake up
