CHASING THE SUN
Round and round the world goes
and we’re Spinning out of control
The air is growing thick, we choke
On all the hate and lies we’re breathing in now
Drifting farther from the pace
We’re losing sight of the human race
And if we looked around, we’d see
Everything we’ve come to be
That’s one small step for... Man
We’re running faster in the wrong direction
We’re chasing the sun again
We’re going backwards with the best intentions
Chasing the sun again
Everything falls apart, as we’re
Running from the dark
The air is growing cold and stale
Do we hope to win or are we afraid to fail?
Drifting farther from the pace
We’re losing sight of the human race
And if we looked around, we’d see
Everything we’ve come to be
​
That’s one small step for... Man
We’re running faster in the wrong direction
We’re chasing the sun again
We’re going backwards with the best intentions
Chasing the sun again
Falling away
We're in retrograde
​
That’s one small step for... Man
We’re running faster in the wrong direction
We’re chasing the sun again
We’re going backwards with the best intentions
Chasing the sun again
STARS
I’ve seen the eyes you’re leading blind
I’ve heard the lies you hide behind
I’ve seen the way that you ignore
(The lost, the hopeless, and the poor)
I’ve heard about a million screams
I’ve seen a thousand broken dreams
I’ve read the news about your reign
(The lies, the promise, and the blame)
What would it take for you to see
The world through their eyes
Lost and alone
can’t you hear their cries
What would I give for them to see
The world from the skies
So full of hope
with stars in their eyes
I’ve heard how you manipulate
I’ve seen the way they’ve been betrayed
I know the pain that they feel
(The meek, the broken, and the ill)
(The lost, the hopeless, and the poor)
(The lies, the promise, and the blame)
What would it take
for you to see
The world through their eyes
Lost and alone
can’t you hear their cries
What would I give for them to see
The world from the skies
So full of hope
with stars in their eyes
​
"The Earth is a very small stage
in a vast cosmic arena
Think of the rivers of blood
spilled by all those generals and emperors
so that, in glory and triumph
they could become the momentary masters
of a fraction of a dot
Think of the endless cruelties visited
by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel
on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants
of some other corner
how frequent their misunderstandings
how eager they are to kill one another
how fervent their hatreds"
​
Silence the voices of those you oppress
We’ll rise up and transgress
Condemn the choices of those you oppose
We will not be controlled

THIS IS WAR
They push our minds to take sides
Through propaganda
Undo the years with their fears
Watching closely as we fall
With a message to send
We’re out of patience
Our fight is far from the end
We’re not alone, can’t kill us ALL
​
Add up the score...
This is war...
Nothing more...
​
Open your eyes
To the lies
Divided by our differences
Painting artificial images
To disguise The truth behind
What we’re really dying for
So let’s draw the line ‘cAUSE
THIS IS WAR
​
Televised, enterpriseD
A blood-built empire
A house of cards dealing scars
A paper kingdom bound to fall
They pull the wool over eyes
Leaving the blind leading blind
A simple chaos designed
So read the writing on the wall
​
Add up the score...
This is war...
Nothing more...

Open your eyes

Divided by our differences

​
Clouding our visions
Torn by derision and hate
Fighting each other
Over our color and faith
Living and dying
Destroying, dividing
Hating and fighting
Corrupting, colliding

DOWN TO EARTH
Sitting here staring out the window
Looking at the world I left behind
Wishing I could just go back
To a better
better place in time
​
SO FAR
FROM HOME
I FEEL
ALONE
FILLED WITH
REGRET
I CAN'T
FORGET
​
FALLING TO PIECES
BUILDING SOMETHING NEW FROM THE HURT
FALLING TO PIECES
BUT WE CAN NEVER COME DOWN TO EARTH
​
Drifting now further away from you
Looking back at what could have been
Fading away like a falling star
That will never
never shine again
​
SO FAR
FROM HOME
I FEEL
ALONE
FILLED WITH
REGRET
I CAN'T

TRUST
Your shameless silent pleasures
Screaming in my head
The constant growing ringing
From the nothing that you’ve said
​​
Every complication
I’m running through a maze
Every conversation
To you is just a game
​
We won’t make it out of this one
Apologies were lost in transmission
Your voice
Echoes
Words of a fabricated danger
Giving birth to reciprocated anger
Your voice
Echoes
​​
Haunting me
Your lies
repeat
Inside my mind
​
Your endless changing stories
Are soaking up with lies
Your bitter mouth keeps running
It should be no surprise
​
We won’t make it out of this one
Apologies were lost in transmission
Your voice
Echoes
Words of a fabricated danger
Giving birth to reciprocated anger
Your voice
Echoes
​
How could you never see
All this pain inside of me
As I shed my last tear
Nothing gets washed away from here
It doesn’t always have to hurt
All this silence could be words
Now the only sound I hear
Is my trust screaming out in fear
​
Haunting me
Your lies
repeat
Inside my mind
​
How could you never see
All this pain inside of me
As I shed my last tear

I'VE LOST THE MOON
I’m learning the dangers if I should stray
I’m such a fool for hurting you
I’m burning the bridges that I have made
I run away when I should stay
​
You look in my eyes
I feel weak inside
My guilt begins to build
I’m finding it hard to breathe
​
I’ve LOST THE MOON
Trying to COUNT THE STARS
It’s tearing me apart
trying to hold your heart
I’ve LOST THE LIGHT
Trying to STEAL THE NIGHT
I’m lost in the dark without you by my side
By my side
​
You left me, but I know the choice was hard
And now my love burns above
A weft of all these incandescent stars
Torn apart, can’t unbreak my heart
​
Will you shine your light
Back into my life
Fade to black as I collapse
It’s bringing me to my knees
​
I’ve LOST THE MOON
Trying to COUNT THE STARS
It’s tearing me apart
trying to hold your heart
I’ve LOST THE LIGHT
Trying to STEAL THE NIGHT
I’m lost in the dark without you by my side
​
You look in my eyes
I feel weak inside
Will you shine your light
Back into my life
​
I’ve LOST THE MOON
Trying to COUNT THE STARS
It’s tearing me apart
trying to hold your heart
I’ve LOST THE LIGHT
Trying to STEAL THE NIGHT
I’m lost in the dark without you by my side
By my side
POINT OF NO RETURN
Every moment suffocating
Choking on the words I chose
I regret the world behind me
No place to call my own
So where do I go from here
There’s no turning back
Burning bridges
and you’re fanning the flames
Chasing the fight to remain
as my memories burn
Making the past mistakes
distant thoughts that we’ve erased
We’re past the point of no return
Every second hesitating
Drains the light and binds my soul
I revive what’s locked inside me
A monster of my own
A monster of my own
So where do I go from here
There’s no turning back
Burning bridges
and you’re fanning the flames
Chasing the fight to remain
as my memories burn
Making the past mistakes
distant thoughts that we’ve erased
​
Every moment suffocating
Choking on the words I chose
Every second hesitating
Drains the light and binds my soul
I’m becoming what I hated
A monster of my own
So where do I go from here
​
There’s no turning back
Burning bridges
and you’re fanning the flames
Chasing the fight to remain
as my memories burn
Making the past mistakes
distant thoughts that we’ve erased
We’re past the point of no return
DARK MATTER
Looking ahead at this life
While these regrets keep me tied
To the dark matter inside
Weighing down on me
Looking behind at the time
I wasted while trying to rewind
To revise the path I contrived
Weighing down on me
I’m haunted by ghosts forgone now
Across the great divide
Shattered by this dark matter
Will I fail or will I...
SURVIVE
Pulling my thoughts from the haze
Feeling like I’m lost in space
To roam forever alone
Breaking me to the bone
Setting my heart to ablaze
Just trying to erase the mistakes
But I can’t go back now, I know
I’m reaping what I sow
​
I’m haunted by ghosts forgone now
Across the great divide
Shattered by this dark matter
Will I fail or will I...
SURVIVE
​
Shattered by this dark matter
Will I fail or will I...
​
Shattered by this dark matter
Goodbye
ECLIPSE
I am just your shadow
Just a step behind
Falling through an echo
Of a voice that was never really mine
Left to fail or forfeit
To insanity
Locked inside an orbit
In a life that forever just repeats
Completely giving in
Like I can never win
You make all the wrong seem right
(Standing in your eclipse)
I will forever see
Your darkness taking over me
I watch as the end begins
(Standing in your eclipse)
I am just a vassal
Here to pull your tides
Drifting like a vessel
Into the blackness of your eye
Running in a circle
To what I believed
Living in a cycle
In a maze that forever will repeat
Completely giving in
Like I can never win
You make all the wrong seem right
(Standing in your eclipse)
I will forever see
Your darkness taking over me
I watch as the end begins
I watched the sky go dark
As you tore apart my heart
With the gravity of your lies
(of your lies)
I watched the sky turn black
As I followed your command
And you led me to my...
DEMISE
​
Completely giving in
Like I can never win
You make all the wrong seem right
(Standing in your eclipse)
I will forever see
Your darkness taking over me
I watch as the end begins
Completely giving in
(Standing in your eclipse)
Like I can never win
(Standing in your eclipse)
Completely giving in
Like I can never win
You make all the wrong seem right
I will forever see
Your darkness taking over me
I watch as the end begins
ATMOSPHERE
Surrounded by stars
Scattered in the dark
That slowly fade away
Drifting towards Earth
As The Universe
Challenges my strength
Feeling so weightless
Feeling so helpless
As I fall...
Into the atmosphere
The stars and satellites
The silence of the night
I feel myself fall
Into the atmosphere
I crack and fall apart
From the beating
of my heart
I let myself fall
Into the atmosphere
I’m so weak and cold
As numbness slowly grows
Silence all around
My fear takes control
As gravity pulls
Me faster to the ground
​
Feeling so weightless
Feeling so helpless
As I fall...
Into the atmosphere
The stars and satellites
The silence of the night
I feel myself fall
Into the atmosphere
I crack and fall apart
From the beating
of my heart
I let myself fall
Into the atmosphere
