Former Friend

former friend, it happened again
when did it all fall apart
took me for granted
I called you a kin
I should have known from the start
out of your mind, out of your head
wasting your time laying in bed
running from your past
looking for some relief
always searching for
a chance to find some peace
rotting from the inside out
filling your mind with doubt
former friend will I see you again
I know it's dark but you've lost your way
maybe one day our paths will cross
but it's getting harder and harder to say
you'll never find your peace
now you're in the belly of the beast
rotting from the inside out
filling your mind with doubt
take your time wasting away
and find that nothing has changed
your lies fooled me again
waste away
turn your back
deny the truth
and all the things you do
I will wash my hands of you
good riddance
take your time wasting away
only to find out that nothing has changed
your lies fooled me again
that's why I call you a former friend
take your high straight to the vein
deeper and deeper you sink in your grave
this road has come to an end
that's why I call you a former friend

The Vision

it's not a question
it's not a song its not a prayer
it's not the answer
or what it is that you should fear
it's no solution
and when it comes what you will hear
is only silence
I am the vision in your mind
wormwood personified
bitterness is all that you will find
I am the end
I heard you whisper
and a voice came from the sky
I watched in wonder
as the day turned in to night
the moon was glowing
it was an awful kind of bright
and all around me
the stars fell down to earth
this is the point of no return
another hopeless lesson learned
and as you breathe that toxic air
only your lungs will feel the burn
I am the vision in your mind
wormwood personified
bitterness is all that you will find
i am the end
silence is the language of the tyrant
and we sow the seeds of violence
when we only speak in whispers
like a blazing torch I fall to earth
this is the point of no return
another hopeless lesson learned
and as you breathe that toxic air
only your lungs will feel the burn
I am the vision in your mind
wormwood personified
bitterness is all that you will find
I am the end

It Takes Control
03:47
|

|
you painted a picture of a world without limits
but reality changed it, and your consciousness shifted
now it isn't what you promised
no matter how you try and spin it
can't keep your end of the bargain
and now you wonder why
it takes control of your brain
it takes control of you
is there anything left to find
on your search for something real
squeeze the trigger just a hair
and taste the flavor of steel
and now you're at a crossroads
it takes control of your brain
they really got you now
it takes control of you
break your chains
a slave to apathy
left unchanged
the problems of yesterday
dig your grave
the future is looking bleak
change your ways
or suffer the consequences
in the blackness of your eyes
is a window to the soul
don't let it take your mind
don't let it take control

Bad Dreams
02:45
|

|
open your eyes and follow me
I wanna show you something
in the recess of your mind
I wanna feel your heartbeat
and when you finally drift away
I'll take you by the hand and lay
to rest all of the burdens that you carry
floating through the wilderness
I saw an angel before me
he said "go forth and proclaim the word to the people"
and then the angel disappeared
and that was only seven years
from the day you said that it was over
I'm waiting for something to be
if only you could see what I see
spirits dancing in swaying motions
winter comes and summer goes
never ceasing to continue
leaving only time to pray it saves you
I'm waiting for a song to sing
what a beautiful melody and
I'm watching stars collide through my skylight
another night spent in my room
hoping my bad dreams don't come true
and praying for the day that it saves you

Matriarch

if I switched our names
in the book of life
would it be enough
would you make things right
or just pass the time
you could take my place
instead of getting high
you could see your son
you could save his life
a little boy now lays there sleeping
an apparatus where his lungs should be
dreaming of his younger brother
though he died earlier that week
if I switched our names
in the book of life
would it be enough
would you make things right
this is the end
there’s no more time
you made your choice
now see the light
if I switched our names
in the book of life
would it be enough
would you make things right
this is the end
there’s no more time
you made your choice
his precious life
now see the light
passing by
in your mind
this flame has burned out
