Appealed by the light above, Through the surface I've reached the air Gather survivors Gather all, strangers We will stand on top of the world No vertigo Everything below this scaffold is dead to me now I survived your trials, know my faith is real So no more cleansing, Shinar is rising Erase who we are in your selfish act of fear Erase who we are When will you take my life at last? Meet us at the top This tower will reach holy heavens We don't fear the drop Your light is so welcoming Blackout What? I left my past to die so today I could pave my way to your golden kingdom I bowed down to your call miserable at all Worshipped your damned crown, how dare you tear me down? Foundations fall apart, find shelter he betrayed us! Counfound believers Counfound all childrens Scattered all around the world Erase who we are in your selfish act of fear Erase who we are When will you take my life at last? No "one last kiss", no "one last goodbye" Full-fledged potential straight to nothingness Confusion runs through every mind, Left with no reason to beg for your forgiveness You filled our lungs with bleach and ripped our tongues out. Frightened king. Erase who we are in your selfish act of fear Erase who we are When will you take my life at last? Erase who we are in your selfish act of fear Erase who we are When will you take our lives at last? Confusion runs through every mind, Left with no reason to beg for your forgiveness

Bring me a war that's worth fighting for Devotion is my only weapon here Fear no sacrifice You'll never know hell like I do Lick my wounds, sow my wounds You'll never bring me down I fight my way through it all Hunt life down It's not about survival, just seize what you're worth How can you paint your heart of such black and blue when I'm the one falling down again? Bleed me dry of effort Fill me up with glory Bleed me dry of effort Fill me up with glory Sick of being the hand that feeds you It's time for you to see this one through No pain, no gain, what a shame You'll always stay the same Lick my wounds, sow my wounds You'll never bring me down I fight my way through it all Hunt life down It's not about survival, just seize what you're worth How can you paint your heart of such black and blue when I'm the one falling down again? How can you paint your heart of such black and blue when I'm the one falling down again? Stand Stand your ground Stand Stand your ground to take what you deserve Where's your pride? Where's your pride? Where is your fucking pride? How can you paint your heart of such black and blue when I'm the one falling down again? How can you paint your heart of such black and blue when I'm the one falling down again? It's in the will to grow that the solution blooms

Hollow 03:43
I am hollow As empty as the night sky in this city Wasted time dug a hole inside of me And I just can't take anything back anymore I can't come to be myself anymore I'd make it through it all but without you it makes no sense to me Don't bother how I am, I can't be the same So please kill this one last spark and let me rot in the dark. No more comfort, no more fire Lost in space and sound, this loneliness is haunting me Hollow, as lonely as my eyes into yours Tell me, will I ever be worth your time? Stranded inside my head, the void is clawing its way to my chest I need an anchor to keep me from drifting away tonight I can't come to be myself anymore I'd make it through it all but without you it makes no sense to me Don't bother how I am, I can't be the same So please kill this one last spark and let me rot in the dark. Let go Though my life is so empty of your presence My mind is filled with the thought of you, the touch of you I can't come to be myself anymore I'd make it through it all but without you it makes no sense to me Don't bother how I am, I can't be the same So please kill this one last spark and let me rot in the dark. No more comfort, no more fire

Gemini Tango 03:45
Long enough you had your plan on display You had me blindfolded for the sake of your dramatic play Seeing you cover up your tracks was no easy thing to let go I denied everything, I denied all about it I've always been one to wear my heart on my sleeve and you one to use it for your tricks up in yours Isn't it ironic how who I took shots for was the one to shoot me dead? Every time you opened your filthy mouth I should have known the truth was so easy to bend. I denied everything, I denied all about it When lips start to leave frostbites like winter, feelings are ought to wither for one another. My head mangled by treachery I've freed myself from slavery High on lust You've earned my disgust My head mangled by treachery I've freed myself from slavery High on lust You've earned my disgust Smothering in disbelief, only hell could take away my grief Your words were a plague that made me sick to death But I've found my cure and it tastes oh so sweet Seeing you cover up your tracks was no easy thing to let go I denied everything, I denied all about it I've always been one to wear my heart on my sleeve (on my sleeve) and you one to use it for your tricks up in yours Hypocrite You've crossed the line for way too long Your soul is pitch-black You're fucking dead to me Hypocrite You've crossed the line for way too long Seeing you cover up your tracks was no easy thing to let go I denied everything, I denied all about it I've always been one to wear my heart on my sleeve and you one to use it for your tricks up in yours

What the fuck do you do when your reality becomes a memory? A permanent lost tied to a restless grief Why did you have to go? I couldn't bare to see you decay the way you did The last pictures of you I'm keeping in my head had to be of that faithful smile I'll forever curse this ruthless sickness As the smoke of my cigarettes reminds me of you I'm hoping it burns my lungs the way it burned you out Why feel alive when your purpose is empty? So empty. The more space between us the less I can breathe. I can't breathe. I still need you to show me the way home and tell me why feel alive when your purpose is empty. So empty. You'll live through our memories. You'll live through our memories. Bracing myself everyday to cherish something that hurts so much. I'll admit thinking about you dying again once all who carries you passes away kills me. Oh how it kills me. Why feel alive when your purpose is empty? So empty. The more space between us the less I can breathe. I can't breathe. I still need you to show me the way home and tell me why feel alive when your purpose is empty. So empty. I can't seem to have faith in anything, but I wish heaven was true just to know you're safe. I can't seem to have faith in anything, but I wish heaven was true just to know you're still out there somewhere. I can't seem to have faith in anything, but I wish heaven was true just to know you still exist. Why feel alive when your purpose is empty? So empty. The more space between us the less I can breathe. I can't breathe. I still need you to show me the way home and tell me why feel alive when your purpose is empty. So empty.
