Track Name: Futile & Fooled
'Nothing comes when you need it to'
When one thing goes wrong here what I often do:
Give up the hope to achieve it
Abandon the dreams to believe that
Everything's futile you were fooled
You thought that you could stop
just as easily as you started

He never left you just lost the heart
Silence ensued vowed for a fresh start
Still you can't believe what he said
grabbed at the throat swang for the head
Everything's futile you were fooled
He said it was your fault and that you could
Control Him

You can hear his cries, cuz he's still in his corner
With his watchful eyes, judging how you
fulfill his orders, when you try
to pretend it's all over you're:
FUTILE & FOOLED
FUTILE & FOOLED

Nothing's gone when you close your eyes
Playing peek-a-boo with a child's mind
Facing the darkness of light,
Plato's cave was based on life
I feel the pull come from the side:
Marionettes are fine when they can see their
OWN STRINGS DIE
You thought it all was fine just cuz you turned
the blind eye, he said we'd co-exist then we
bared our teeth, tried to break all our things
to get through the week, was pulled from the breast
of hate sometimes I can't wait to get back

You can hear his cries, although he's not the problem,
I'm the one who hides in this convenient disorder
When you try to pretend it's all over you're:
FUTILE & FOOLED
BROKEN & SCHOOLED
DECIEVED & FUELED to
BREAK ALL HIS RULES

Running through life in this fever
Eyes wide open to see the creature
Life has moved into the theatre
The unreal is real if you're a believer!
Track Name: The Worst Part
The worst part is,
that this time it's,
over nothing.

Consolations will fail.
Reason would prevail
if there was something,
but there's nothing.

Everything in none,
blinded by the sun,
you'll feel the heat,
but can't run.

For where can you go?
Indecisively slow,
nothing shining up
all around you,
from below.

Won't try to understand,
the weight that oppresses me.
Won't try to see the truth.
Giving Up Will
Set Myself Free.

I'll throw the fight,
give up the right,
I'll compromise.
Because I'll,

Never comprehend.
Or find a way to mend,
the fractured self,
you've created.

All the broken attempts,
to control this mess
are proven futile,
by your absence.
And your,

Reluctance to heal,
and your,
Willingness to steal,
unrelenting knowledge,
this is real.

I'll drop the escapade,
of uncoding sentiment.
Will stop dwelling on,
the Nothing that's
afflicting me.
Will accept the void,
and pay it no further heed.
Will stop wasting time,
Giving Up Will
Set Myself Free.

No, I won't!
Analyze, interfere,
or despise.
Forgiving, forgetting.
Giving Up Will
Set Myself Free,
Suspend Belief,
Exhale, Release.
Track Name: I Am Not
I am not afraid
I am not ashamed
I am now the one,
who controls this rage.
Breaking through the night,
distinguishing this fright, I...

I am not ashamed,
I am not afraid.
I will remain proud of
all that I have made. My
instincts are divine,
because they are mine.
Every twitch and tick is
an unconscious sign, I...

I am not afraid,
to do this to you.
I am not ashamed,
you've done this to me.
I am not afraid,
to do this to you,
for you tried to extinguish me.

I am not afraid,
I am not ashamed.
I'm in ignorance of
judgments being made. I
Open up my eyes,
drop my disguise,
with every mistake I become
much more wise so
I do not deceive,
I do not believe.
For that world of indecision
I don't grieve. I
stare into the sun,
promise not to run,
face the light of night and
try and have have some fun!

I am not afraid,
to do this to you.
I am not ashamed,
you've done this to me.
I am not afraid,
to do this to you,
for you tried to extinguish me.

I am not the one,
to deny my strength.
I am not the one,
to claim innocence.
I will not pretend,
I'm incompetent.

For you tried to extinguish me.
Expel and erase all of me.
Extract and negate all I see.
Hide me and silence my dreams...

Break the mold,
Escape the hold!
Of a life of sadness
begging for your soul-don't

Fight the trend,
do not bend!
Weakness works with madness,
tempting me to end you!

I am not afraid,
I am not ashamed.
I will stand up to
obstructions in my way.
Track Name: The Escape
He'll come back
He'll find you
He'll rescue all the others
So they won't rescue you

He'll destruct, your makeup
He'll break his own rules
but he won't let you go

Hell awaits
With a smile on his face
You couldn't ESCAPE
this barren landscape
He'll chase you in
circles, till he's dug a hole
He told you through flaming lips,
this is all you're good for

You can't escape
He'll find you

You can't escape
He'll chase you out
Track Name: Idealize the Dead
It's easy to idealize the dead
Nothing's worse than indecision,
even regret
Loving now's a loss for the past,
if anyone's keeping score
Forgetting what made you come to this,
was there nothing to lose?

So much to gain
Implies a lack
now nothing's the same

Comparisons run through my brain
of a heart, split in two and then,
spread across the plains
And there is no mean,
math can't split this seam

So much to feel
Veered off the track
still feel the pull
Pushing you, back

This could be BIG
though I've said that before
First hesitate, then fall
through that door

To Be Alive Inside
It means to never hide
Pushing yourself inside
to live, your very
BEST
Track Name: Imposter (bonus)
If you think, you can take over my mind
I'll tell you there's got to be somewhere else
you can find, someone else, naive and careless
Who doesn't understand the danger of handing
over your wrists

To something you don't even know is right
Right now I'm not sure, if I should fight

Against you, or with you there's no easy answer to take
This time I'll have to fake, but this time
will I be able to ignore that whispering talking
taunting shouting screaming lure

He's gonna tell you it's worth it you're the sacrifice
The payback will come and it will be nice
Don't ask for more than I'm ready to tell
Just sit back and enjoy you're taste of hell

Because he is, the one who's fallen
And understands there's less at hand than anyone else here can stand, and with that, comes the responsibility
to see, it, all the time

It was the end of his show, you were going to be the host
Cuz this time when you tried to walk home,
you would make it alone
Through the shaded willow light, you would glow
On your way to places you normally wouldn't go
Will his yellow eyes be behind the next bush's bend
Or is it through the pond's stagnant tide
the monster will ascend

Because he is, the one who's rising
winning points conquering state, by state
kissing babies shaking hands
making speaches giving head,
while men in black suits get richer to cover
he's killing me

So with a knife there's a slice the broken dam,
gushing red
Two smiles suffice one the Imposter
one dokter K
