Tint of Red 03:23
I push you to the end of the universe you own I wave my arms at you so you notice what I am The struggle to impress you only gets me so far in The face you wear is many today's is never true When the trigger’s pulled you aim But my eyes don't see the blame Wait for days to see the wound But your hands are pushing down on me You leave me with no choice but to turn and walk away My shadow is what I follow into a place with no return A tint of red takes over And there's nothing left to prove Time stands still, flips over and returns it back at you
2.
By the Hour 03:44
I’m awakend by the buzzing sound Another day that's up and left to die There's no option to runaway and hide But for the moment that you have us now We couldn't care less of what you need Time approaches that final moment So grab your things up and let's go Put your fist up They don't own us Life's stolen by the hour When the sun hides so nothing matters Our glass is high into the sky With the string that's tied behind our backs We want some freedom to lift our head and breathe Only to drag us down when were in need
3.
Dizzy Spell 02:54
A hunger for a thirst as we pull all the shades down The room heats up while space runs out We're here to throw it down Just leave your story at the door To bottoms up and hit the floor And the nights are time to play We carry on with one intent A dizzy spell is what we get And we'll do it all again To piss away the days Sun rises againas our heads are beaten down Memories are gone and lost And you're nowhere to be found Where did our trip take us last night? Together proves we did it right!
4.
Scabbed Over 03:16
Trouble at the end These distances are suffocating Isolating The circumstances lend to no one thinking clearly And wondering what could be A puzzle to be solved A vision that wont fade away And these Scabbed over wounds are screaming But I don't think it's right And I know you're unprepared To take on this one I wonder if it's worth my time You lost it And I dont think its fair You're so unaware The distances between; differences aside We're straddling the fences Taking bullets from both sides You lost it I can't help you find it After all the time we lost There wont be a next time
5.
Robotic 03:48
Breathe through staled cigarettes A fifth down makes the night taste bitter right Prying open doors to ends not stamped upon my head I hurt to forget the lie I’d kill to open all the books Strength crowned in lockdown Confronting The story's never found We're all just human Just walking dead Robotic in the grid I'm claustrophobic All boxed in Grappling through the levels of bullshit that limit humble men In suit and tie I can't think right can't sleep at night I swear If we mechanize real sin The same are gonna win Born in black and white Somehow the green defines our ends Space is getting thin Language choked by those that claim your skin Sterile and paralyzed Apathetics are bred from within Now drink my potion right For a night let chaotic impulse win Just human I've lived much too long buried So far down This miming tires chaotic minds The wired responses can only break So far down Every person can detonate The charges filled with hate
6.
No Way Out 03:51
I stand with knuckles clinched With nothing I can say Visions turning red And I'm left no room to speak But every time you come around The silence is what you want from me And everything goes up in flames You beat me down And nothing stays the same My muted mouth Speaks for itself And my revenge Is taking aim at you But I don't want to be the one that's left The tug and pull of my misery and pain A sacrifice that regret won't understand And there’s no way out No way out with blood left on my hands The riot in my head Closed off by my lips Dirt an blood cover my hands And I owe that all to you I stick around to try again But I know where that will end
7.
Onward and we roll Another fires left its coals Another path diverts directing me A change in destiny So many years to go So many pages to unfold So many lessons to be taught to me By a change in destiny And things aren't always better than they seem But it's fair enough to say that choosing any road leads the same way Falling forward Things aren't always better than they seem Impossible to know How many times we’ll have to go navigate the dark just look both ways And recognize the maze Fire changing destiny
8.
We filled the tank with what we found Underneath the seats We proved an inconvenience at the bar People had to raise their voices just so they'd be heard While two raving strung out junkies in the corner shouted more This is how I'm spending all my time Hips and hardwood floors don't get along Just ask my spine A glorified rehearsal Is just one point of concern after all It's an 18 hour ride Your turn to drive I'm sleep deprived a cancelled show The second one this week I think the right rear tire is gonna blow It's sad to say it wouldn't be the first time on this trip I'm naked riding shotgun White knuckle clinched were hanging on But I've seen a lot of places and things I know
9.
Between emotions of fear and of anger And a little like a fist has been let loose upon my guts The weapons are selected The venue's been chosen And it wouldn't be so bad If time was all we had If time was all we had So much for having a plan I have no patience for quantification Or reconstruction if I’m then gonna get thrown up against the wall In this new beginning you promise was the end And it wouldn't be so bad If time was all we had So much for mistakes So much for having a plan So why the long face If its all the same in the end It's hard to pretend That nothing will ever change In the end did it break us In then end did we save it all?
10.
Disconnected 03:19
You don't know a thing about me Is there something that you should know? I can tell you what you want to hear Let you inhibitions just go No you don't know what you will give up You don't know what you want It may take you years to find out You don't know what you need It's something that may never come to you Trust is something that comes easy When you've never been a victim Lies and promises and words are said It's your decision to accept them
