The Prospect
07:50
|

Fate! Opportunity comes knocking but you’re afraid
You can’t bring yourself to answer
Over-analysis, paralysis brings you down
Back to reality (a tragedy)
The dream goes on
The life you want cannot be built inside your mind
Imagination cannot satisfy
Irresponsible! Impossible to move on
Excommunicate and separate yourself from those who you love
Listen to the voice inside, the only one who cares
The only one who can make it right, the only one who’s there
Watch a life unfold and wish it could be you
Reach out and watch it fade away instead of coming true
Try to posture, try to fake
Try to fool them, you’ll never get far enough to fail
Listen to the voice inside, the only one who can make it right
The only one who talks to you, the only one who knows the truth
Watch your life unfold and wish you could be there
Reach and touch a friendly hand instead of running scared

What Would You Become?
05:01

The sun sets on your life
And you feel you’ve been left behind
That you’ve wasted your time
And you’ll never catch up to where you should be
Everybody seems so goddamn happy
What’s the secret they all know
All your life you chased perfection
But you never got close
Once upon a time
Everything felt right
Then you opened up your eyes
And the dream fades out of sight
Never let them see
How you really feel
If you open up your heart
What will you become?
This is not for you
Not with everything you have been through
You know they won’t understand
So you shouldn’t even offer up your hand
If they knew what you were like inside
They’d be disgusted
It’s best to hide
Smile and wave like everything is all right
Save your tears for the night
Once upon a time
Everything felt right
Then you opened up your mouth
And the world came crashing down
Push it all away
Never to betray
You could do it all their way
But what would you become?

Waiting On The Edge
06:49
|

Waiting on the edge
Staring off into oblivion
Liking what you see
Never thinking you could break free
Waiting for the end
Longing for a new beginning and
Ready to try again
“This is the one,” you keep telling yourself
It’s happened again
The fear takes hold
There’s nowhere to go
You can’t run away
The walls are closing in
The way it’s always been
Give in to your dismay
No hope can avail you anymore
It’s getting desperate
Let’s get it over with
What are you waiting for?
On the edge again
Close your eyes and touch infinity
Far too long you’ve been
Waiting to embrace your destiny
Stepping off the edge
No surprise there’s no one stopping you
What did you expect?
All your efforts failed to break through
It’s happened again
The fear takes hold
There’s nowhere to go
You can’t run away
There’s no solution
No resolution will be forthcoming today
Waiting on the edge
Scared of falling in and equally
Scared of going back
Either way you see no future
Thinking about the end
Longing for a new beginning but
If you try again
Do you think it’ll be any different?
It’s happened again
The fear takes hold
There’s nowhere to go
You can’t run away
This damn anxiety
So reliably controls your every day
No hope can avail you anymore
It’s getting desperate
Let’s get it over with
What are you waiting for?

Unity Purpose
08:01
|

Crossing a line of intention
Point of no return
Contemplating a new revelation
Calling for help but no one turns
A new type of desperation
Sinking every night
Emotional desolation
Preparing to give up the fight
Everyone you meet is just another deceiver
Cast aside your faith
Now you’re another non-believer
If you listen to all those lies
You’d think you had done something wrong
The clarity you seek can’t be had for nothing
You’ve got to play along
Search all you want
You will never find what you’re looking for
Happiness is a state of mind
If your wires are crossed then you poor, poor thing
You wanted to die so many times
Sowing the seeds of destruction
Preparing to reap
Empathy is your weakness
Keeping you from making the leap
Everyone you meet is just another deceiver
Cast aside your faith
Now you’re another non-believer
If you listen to all those lies
You’d think you had done something wrong
Hold your breath and wish for death
But you keep on living
It’s your curse to carry on
Everyone you meet is just another deceiver
Cast aside your faith
Now you’re another non-believer
Used, abused, and left confused
Thinking you did something wrong
Make true what you always knew
That you’re good for nothing
And you never will belong

The Hammer Falls
08:33
|
|||
Darkness spreads all across the earth
There’s no future and you have no worth
I know you tried but now it’s time
Life has nothing for you
It’s time you gave up the fight
No one cares about you
All the smiles and kind words are just lies
How can you live with a broken heart?
Watch life passing by and realize
That it’s too far, too high to climb just to fall
Don’t you think I know it?
I just want to stop the pain
But I don’t have the courage
I wish that I could find another way
Destiny calls and the hammer falls
For you tonight
All you see was never meant to be
It was just a dream
And you slide into the night
Find your peace
Destiny calls and the hammer falls
For you tonight
All you see was never meant to be
It was just a dream
Close your eyes and say your last goodbyes
Make believe that someone cares
And then you slide into the night
Find your peace
