A VICTORY WON AT TOO GREAT A COST

Come on Breaking my vision of a perfect world It seems no one wants to live without pain Cut out your heart to spite your soul This feeling inside you can't control They hurt you bad so you'll hurt them worse Your head feels heavy you've been cursed An Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth That doesn't work anymore An Eye for an eye tooth for a tooth That doesn't work anymore Let the past be conquered by your tears So many chances to conquer your own fears Come on

LAST WINTER'S EMBRACE

Standing here I see all the familiar faces that will see me through the best the worst rolled into one Rolled Seems like we've been at this for so long I don't know what to think anymore Will we get to where we want? To where they say we can be? Or will I just ask why? Keep on asking why? Why? The worst part is I don't know if I've really changed I tried to teach but I never learned The red star on the bottle will never quite look the same But I will keep holding on to my friends who will stay It's getting harder to say the right thing all the time Wish I knew the outcome "Who dealt this hand?" Doesn't matter now I choose to play the game To where they say we can be? Or will I just ask why? Keep on asking why? Why? And in the midst of all this confusion I find out what I want Everything we have and everthing we need is here for the taking And I'll take this And I know this And I know this and I'll take this I'll take this as far as it will go

TAKE TIME

Take time Come down Leave them all around We're here to stay Leave them all around Go outside now

AS KINGDOMS CRUMBLE

Finding time to waste time With no time to spare What happens when our time runs out? Passing by each other without a care We're going our separate ways Keep us separated Finding ways of getting bored We've been too long We've been too long Well in truth seems so wrong Well it seems so wrong We're going our separate ways Keep us separated Finding ways of getting bored

FALLING ON DEAF EARS (WE SCREAMED EVEN LOUDER)

Step right up and join the cause How many more lives must be lost? Two sides divided no one's right With this I see no end in sight Speak out And as we close our eyes their lies become clearer And as we plug our ears their lies become clearer We open our mouths they are shut Open our mouths they are shut Return Everything you took from me Return like my childhood memory Taken from me My advice In the end we all pay the price Return it to me All those things you've said and done I have no room to breathe But don't forget what I said We're not out of the woods yet Fight for what you believe Even if you have to bleed And bleed Speak Out Let it out Let it out Our time is now

HABIT FORMING

The only habit I had to break was you and that's no lie Finding more about myself while I feel more alone Hopefully this time will pass by like strangers in the night Who have nothing to say to one another In time all our wounds will heal and fine Here goes nothing I would say a thousand words if I thought that it would change you now But I know better I'm better than this. Convulsions of the soul reaching out to me Touching me gripping me And you, you've become habit forming, and I'm going through withdrawals, Sunday morning Feeling like I've given more than I should I think I can walk again I'm back on my own two This is one battle I don't want to win Hopefully this war will end sooner than it began In your arms the safest place that I know And you cover all You've become habit forming and I'm going through withdrawals, Sunday morning Feeling like I've given more than I should I think I can walk again I'm back on my own two

A SECOND CHANCE AT RETRIBUTION

Season into season a change comes today Minds of mass destruction melt the mirrors away Exposed for all they are Jesters in a court of kings It's up to us to save us Square one on everything Go back to the days Smiles on every face Unlocked doors and welcome signs It starts with us from now until forever Retribution For those taken advantage by greedy men with blackened hearts The more they push the more we push Fight back And to those on the outside This is where you belong

IN OCEANS

We stand on mountains to see our weaknesses We're swimming in oceans of these changing times No voices No faces Just pillows and warm blankets to cover me again We stand on mountains to see our weaknesses we're swimming in oceans of these changing times
