Afraid to Believe 02:59
lyrics

I can't avoid your stare Walking past Im reminded Every day that you are there I don't want to look at what I see Its not the way that I want to remember me I always say that you're Never lying you're hypnotizing Revealing everything I don't want to be Im afraid to look at the image That you show, Im afraid to believe Unavoidable you're just waiting for me to look in your direction and to see The reflection of what I don't want to be Of what I don't want to see Shine the spotlight on my imperfections Cut my self esteem into the ground Take the image make it disappear Cut me down and all without a sound

Cant Take it Anymore 06:05
lyrics

There once was a time we didnt need a lot to get by to survive So Long, So Long that was so long ago Things changed they never stay the same never know what tomorrow may bring So Long, So Long that was so long ago I cant make anymore no I cant take anymore no no You give and give and stay strong for so long, so long Some things were choices some things just came but in the end theyre really all the same so long so long, that was so long ago Days get shorter the body grows weak the nights get longer with the loss of sleep so long, so long, that was so long ago Now were bound and shackeled to these chains caught in motions that drive us insane so long, so long, that was so long ago No end in sight in this darkest tunnel Train is coming should have boarded the shuttle so long, so long, ago...

Confessions of Insanity 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Poets tried to warn us Journalist told us lies Politicians issued new laws That launched missiles into the skies Who am I to question the validity Of everything in the name of humanity When we don't walk upright And celebrate the fight Confession of Insanity. We stopped trusting the lies Business becomes obsolete We chant everything is perfect Then take our drugs to make us sleep

Feel Special 03:16
lyrics

You give but you want to take You love but you want to hate You keep it all going just to feel special You run but you want to walk Your quiet but you want to talk You pretend you're into it just to feel special Ive been trying to cover up All these things but its never enough Pull off the mask and put on the real face Give it to me straight Bouncing off the walls Giving to the call Never in the moment you convince everyone Its not about whats real Only what you feel Just cause Im around doesn't make it right Nobody wants to live this way Taking our lives, giving away I wont live my life so you can feel special Im here but I want to go Thought by now that you would know That I don't really care if you feel special Im trying to substantiate What I lost, how I learned to hate They're trying to exaggerate how you feel special

Good to Be 04:05
lyrics

Hope is pushing aside Not getting in line Not wasting my time I wont circle around Im lost and Im found Im making my sound Good to be What I want to be And Im never looking back Good to see What I want to see Hope, It never fades away Faith is keeping me straight Its knowing my fate Its keeping me safe I wont ever give up Ill drink from the cup Its never enough Love is a precious gift It fills in the rift Im lost in the midst I wont settle for less Not making a mess Enjoy the process

Hope of Genesis 06:26
lyrics
buy track
Over distance, cold resistance For the others, break down See you on the other side Coexistence, we outdistance In our time, give in, we can never ever win The battle just goes on So its just another day We live for this time, together yeah But I don't know what you will do And you don't know whats in my head If we cant trust were better off dead Now its snowing outside As we approach the edge of this cliff There nothing left to see here But the hope of Genesis All in for the hope of Genesis Concentrating, so frustrating On the mountain Hold on, see you on the other side Dominating, aggravating, Standing over, this time We can never ever win The fighting just goes on Maybe just another day The sun it may not rise again

Magic Moment 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Its always been such an inconvenience Disappearing by the evening light Stolen away by the rainy weather Or the boil of a hot sunrise Ripped away by the wind so violent Anticipation of the evening ride But then it happens when you least expect it Magic moments that override Override Its magic moments like this that we hope for That keep us coming back for more Suddenly one appears and we hope It never goes away, It never goes away That magic moment

Too many times I come back to this place Down on my knees and tears on my face Made in your image so beautiful and bright I fell down again… and I’m sorry Sorry We don’t deserve anything good And I’m sorry No matter what things I say or I do I never feel I truly honor you I don’t know why that I fall every day I confess to you… that Everyday I try to pick up my cross The world chooses winners at too high a cost Hope is forgiveness that sets me free Free from the curse… and

The only name I know is I I live under a selfish sky Queue the misunderstanding Thats the not the way that it happened So many parts to the body Im just another cog in the wheel The world revolves around only me What I want and what I need The only thing I see is me Dont expect any empathy I gave up trying to be everything to everybody Thats when I noticed That its not the way its supposed to be Im ok just being me

The Employed 04:16
lyrics

…..In the name of greatness contributions were made We forged great tools Politicans got paid Resources were slaughtered Large fires appeared With the echo of machinery Converting the atmosphere Working on the Floor Giving More and More Drowning in the cubicle Working on the Floor Joining with the Corps Pain it is ignored Looking for that Back Door Industry became friend The sky was filled with smoke Distored became normal Liars they told jokes When all was in place And paralyzed by need We cried bring us our last meal the fruit of all of our greed Working on the Floor Giving More and More Drowning in the cubicle Working on the Floor Joining with the Corps Pain it is ignored Looking for that Back Door Extinct are resources No more treasures Soul killing industry decieved us with pleasure So where is our help Step foward greatest Who will be our hero Made in industry likeness Working on the Floor Giving More and More Drowning in the cubicle Working on the Floor Joining with the Corps Pain it is ignored Looking for that Back Door When all was quiet And the beautiful destroyed We had no choice But to join the employed

The Next Wave 03:13
lyrics
buy track
It seems so far away The outline of the day Will often tend to drift away And I remember shadows Of the fading sun Colliding and presiding over all that you've become Im not waiting for you to decide that you are ready to go on and meet the next wave You better learn fast Cause Im not going to wait For something that I already asked for The way we go aint easy But I need to know Will you come Or will you go

Unfortunate Day 04:35

They all want you to begin again So they can win A shallow path to a workers wrath Might as well just give it away I see it on the mountain The path where I have been Lead me to the other side Play the game every day Pass the ball to win Lead me to the living word All dressed up nowhere to go Dwell in misery Lead me to the source of life Pay the price for his dreams There has to be another way Were in the midst of this unfortunate day Were in the midst and we cant stay no we cant stay They all want you to conform again, so they can win Take the road that we tell you too Put blinders on and don't look back

Walking With Integrity 03:42
lyrics

Door falls open We've misspoken Cant take it back now Subject comes up Tongue it wont stop Cant take it back now Keep on trying While their falsifying Holding our heads up with clarity And walking with integrity Reaching over Words that falter They're never what they seem Paint the picture Kill it quicker They're never what they seem Why don't you pick me up Instead you let me down Tell me why it matters Who wears the crown

Where is the Storm 03:41
lyrics
buy track
He began his journey almost 50 years ago when everything was new everythng was gold Over time things began to change Without warning the first one came Tommorrows forecast stayed the same Somethings coming its taking aim Where is the storm today Its coming my way I hope its late Where is the storm today Its coming my way Maybe this time it will stay away He looks at the clock and wonders how much time is left Hours go by the minutes seconds then begins the crash He thinks about his simple life The storm outside it rages He tries to run but is overcome Never trusting his gauges

You Cant Hurt the Invisible 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Every day is yesterday Tomorrow is the same On his 12th year anniversary He saw his job posted by the company Without notice keeping cool No one knew that he knew All those hard years that he worked He feared now what would he do He knew the deed was real He made a plan to fool them all He was going to play along Until the day he sang the song Ha Ha the jokes on you I knew what you would do Cause you cant see me You cant hurt the invisible Ha Ha the BFU I knew what you would do Cause you cant see me You cant hurt the invisible Everything in motion Everything in real time Everything in writing Everything is breaking up Lets dance with all the vampires We can reach to an all time high The jealous few can stand by and watch, stand by and watch, stand by As we write our names in the chem trailed sky He knew the deal was real He made a plan to fool them all He was going to play along Until the day he sang the song
