Get up, get up
Get down!
This is an experiment
Raging is our passion
Variables are narrowed down
In orderly fashion
This is the sound
Of energy
Smashing right through
Your weak body
Frailty is upon you
Above all
We will prevail
We’ve come prepared to
Fight tooth and nail (Repeat x3)
In a field of
Uncertain dreams
Things aren’t always
What they seem (2x)
If a dream
Becomes reality
Face your fear
Or face fatality
In a field of
Uncertain dreams
Things aren’t always
What. They. Seem!
This was an experiment
Conclusion has been reached
Always remember
Practice what you preach!
This is the sound
Of energy
Smashing right through
Your weak body
Above all
We will prevail
We’ve come prepared to
Fight tooth and nail (2x)

Untold Story

Jealousy, Passion!
Disbelief, Eradicate my obsession
I tried to give you all I had
But the ending’s always sad
I pushed my emotions down
My heart is bleeding on the ground
We had everything
But all that was never enough (Was it?)
It was never enough (Was it?)
I’m running blind and I cannot breathe
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
I’m running blind and I cannot breathe
What do you want from me?
You take the life from me!
So here’s to you
Another letter to burn
Sent with regards
To whom it may concern
I cannot love
I cannot hate
All I can do is watch you walk away
I never wanted
For it to be this way
We should exist
Until our final day
Running through my
Fucked up head
These mislead thoughts
Are tears to shed (Tears to shed!)
So here’s to you
Another letter to burn
Sent with regards
To whom it may concern
I cannot love
I cannot hate
All I can do
Is watch you walk away
This picks me up
And it pulls me down
You gave me hope
Then you let me drown

Apollo

The trees press their million hands to the ground,
But my skin won’t shed ‘til February.
And by then I know that my wrists are bound,
Wish the noose was far from ordinary.
“I guess I was only his final thought!” (Repeat 4x)
Best to keep the women and children inside,
You know this is no place for breathing.
‘Cause when you catch a glimpse of the raw neckline,
The lungs don’t even think of screaming. (Repeat 2x)
Deliver my name to a god who’ll bide my time.
‘Cause I’ve met enough men to know that if you ain’t living,
You’re just waiting around to die.
Hope that he makes up his mind right soon,
Before the world goes burning off.
He’s locked his runner away somewhere,
I guess I was only his final thought!
Old man could tell you stories of truth,
Says there’s no time for wasting.
The mountains echo their gun salutes,
There’s no soul for saving.
So swing low! Swing low!
Grab whatever you can, we’re only in it to survive.
And aim high! Aim high!
The sun is only so far, when we’re by the graveside. (Repeat x2)
O, the binding vine draws blood,
When it climbs so closely up my leg.
The Earth wore away and writhed in the mud,
Now I’m all that’s left
So deliver my name (Swing Low!)
To a sun that never sleeps
Apollo flies through its rays (Aim high!)
And never weeps
Deliver my soul (Swing Low!)
Through golden reigns
And I will rise (I will rise!)
So you remember my name
And now behold
My heart can beat!

Plagued by a Memory

I can’t escape you even though I try.
I’ve come to hate you my heart will not lie.
You walked away and took a piece of me with you.
It’s hard to stay well when you haunt me endlessly.
Another messed up day, another sleepless night.
All I see is you and I’m just not right.
The pictures on the wall where your face used to be.
Our happiness surrounded me.
We can’t go on
Living like this
I wish we could
Erase this shit.
I’ve lost you once, I’ve lost you again.
This road has to come to an end
The nights get longer and the days grow cold
Our chemistry is drown and torn asunder
We can’t go on
Living like this
I wish we could
Erase this shit.
I burned all your letters the day you gave them back to me
I never want to see you again because you’re dead to me!
Dead to me!
Dead to me!!
We can’t go on
Living like this!

You better watch your step and where you place your feet.
The ground should hold you up above but you’re sinking to your knees.
What you fail to see is hiding underneath.
All your misconceptions, all your insecurities.
Your resistance is counterproductive.
You’re only losing ground.
Agitate me a little at a time.
You will fight for your life.
And if I am a failure I’ll have not one worry.
Because I know you’ll be swept away with the tide.
Wave goodbye as you slowly slip away.
Your acuity is fading as your mind disobeys.
Your resistance is counterproductive.
You’re only losing ground.
Agitate me a little at a time.
You will fight for your life.
And if I am a failure I’ll have not one worry.
Because I know you’ll be swept away with the tide.
You’re never more alive when you’re face to face, in a tango with the darkness that tries to drown your light.
There’s no hope, your life revoked.
You better watch your step and where you place your feet.
The ground should hold you up above but you’re sinking to your knees.
What you fail to see is hiding underneath.
All your misconceptions, all your insecurities.
Your resistance is counterproductive.
You’re only losing ground.
Agitate me a little at a time.
You will fight for your life.
And if I am a failure I’ll have not one worry.
Because I know you’ll be swept away with the tide.
I am the quicksand. Feel my strength as I pull you down.
