"The Spy Hunter"
One last disguise
Pawns standing in awe of the game
Of the stage
You've worked so hard at building an empire
Of secret rooms to display yourself
And add to your wealth
The sting of.
Oh, it stings
When I saw it all come crashing
I witnessed the sound of a million voices
Screaming for a public hanging
So hide yourself, hide, hide yourself for now.
We caught you plotting murder
And now the Tide is Turning
We'll light our souls, heal our bones
Upon your empire burning
When the world is a target for humanity's market
And all of it's sold for a dime
I've seen the towers of gods
And the power of men
In disguises of the worst kind
I am the words on the page
I am the death among life today
I am the voice of one among the silent
Who's tired of burning among the flames
So hide yourself, hide, hide yourself for now.
We caught you plotting murder
And now the Tide is Turning
We'll light our souls, heal our bones
Upon your empire burning
I do not need anymore truthless heroes
We don't need no truthless heroes
So hide yourself, hide, hide yourself for now.
We caught you plotting murder
And now the Tide is Turning
We'll light our souls, heal our bones
Upon your empire burning
I need truth
"Oblivion"
A double minded one
Gazing into two reflections
Who cannot recognize
The vessel or the messenger
Yeah!
Obedience gone and somewhere
Left in the distance
New wilderness
Outstretched hand, broken wrist
Just a little taste of everything you would miss
Could you turn your back on this?
Fight, (fight)
For our tomorrow
Fall, (to stand)
Surrender, to follow
Whoa
It's all
All we'll ever have
Whoa
It's all
All we'll ever need
From somewhere far, far away...
(I Will avenge, I will repay)
A distant voice from some familiar place
(Drive it home in me, pull it out from me)
"Let go the anchor
Let got the deadweight.
(I will repay, I will avenge),
And I'll change what's in remiss"
Fight, (fight)
For our tomorrow
Fall, (to stand)
Surrender, to follow
Whoa
It's all
All we'll ever have
Whoa
It's all
All we'll ever need
Will I find home in
This beautiful oblivion?
No meaning
No solace
No comfort
No justice
These thoughts I've held in failure
My paper champion, false savior
"You think the answer lies within
When your heart betrays you?"
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah
From somewhere far, far away...
(I Will avenge, I will repay)
A distant voice from some familiar place
(Drive it home in me, pull it out from me)
"Let go the anchor
Let got the deadweight.
(I will repay, I will avenge),
And I'll change what's in remiss"
Fight, (fight)
For our tomorrow
Fall, (to stand)
Surrender, to follow
Whoa

"A Shadow On Me"
These Petals
This blackened rose
This soil all my own
Shrouding your hollowed ground
Like seeds who'll never sow
Like forgery and larceny
And my ill-gained revelry
I recite these scripted lines
While embers of a different time
go drifting by
When every word you ever said came true
All I missed
in all of this was you
Can you see
A shadow on me, calling me to leave
Find in me
(you're the only home, you're the only home I know)
A trace of you in all this tragedy
These pieces
These shattered shards
Dancing in the moonlight
Glimmering and glistening
Preparing me for the night
I never learned to walk the surface on my own
So lately this ocean floor's been feeling more like
. . . home
When every word you ever said came true
All I missed in all of this was you
Can you see
A shadow on me, calling me to you
Find in me
(you're the only home, you're the only home I know)
A trace of you in all this tragedy
So take me in these fleeting moments of solitude in you
Remove this sordid fascination with shadow and remove
This shattered self for preservation
This commitment to undo
All that you forgave and give
And all you promised too
And all you promised too
Can you see
A shadow on me, calling me to you
Find in me
A trace of you in all this tragedy
Can you see
The shadow lifting; drifting home again
"Safe Haven"
I'm just a stranger here, despite your everything
I'm not attached to your world of disease
Like father always said, and I can only agree
Son they will hate you because they always hated me
And even though I feel alone
I know that I could never be
If it's a choice between this veil of ecstasy
And all the lonely suffering of seeing this so clearly
If I've said it once I'll say it twice I'll say it for all eternity
I'll find all the comfort that I need inside this bleeding
And even though I feel alone
You know that I could never be
Nobody knows
Nobody cares
Nobody sees outside our safe haven
Together we are so, so ugly with rejection
But to our, our eyes we, we're the ones shimmering
I've unplugged the wires from your spine
At first you'll be afraid
But we will be so content
And we
Will live.
Again
And we will live again
(Alone and so content)
And we will live again
(Alone and so content)
Just crawl across this desert heat
And become tragic with me
And now that we are not alone
You know that we could never be
Nobody knows
Nobody cares
Nobody sees outside our safe haven
And we will live again
(Alone and so content)
And we will live again
(Alone and so content)
"Say Goodnight To The Bad Guy..."
Now here I lie in the street
An invitation for you to steal a glance at me
While all the village, it gathers
To watch the vultures devour this decaying matter
Come one, come all, (hey, hey, hey)
Whoever wants a taste of me take it for free
You wanna, You wanna, You wanna, You wanna
Now everyone can say good night to the bad guy
The children fiend for the spoils
Divide what remains before it sinks in the soil
With a gash below the waste
Out it came like milk for everyone to taste
But now it's curdled and sour
Ripe for your stomach to turn in about an hour
Come one, come all, (hey, hey, hey)
Whoever wants a taste of me take it for free
You wanna, You wanna, You wanna, You wanna
Now everyone can say good night to the bad guy
Just for a minute pretend
In this illusion that we were ever friends
Nothing is more expensive
Yet it's been given to you at such a bargain
But now the serum is sour
'Cause I was never here for you to devour
Come one, come all, (hey, hey, hey)
Whoever wants a taste of me take it for free
You wanna, You wanna, You wanna, You wanna
Now everyone can say good night to the bad guy
"Breakdown In 3/4"
(Obsolete, obsolete, we're so obsolete...)
Sleep soundly in silence
Knowing that we will never return
To what we once were
What was now is a distant memory
I guess that I should thank you
For freeing me from my naivete
Sleep softly knowing that we are through
The spotlight has turned its favor from us
And now it's upon you
You were so right to write me off
We took to heart everything that you said
And now I agree... we're better off dead
This is the sound that drives you to deny
These are the words that remind you we're alive
This is the voice that haunts you in your sleep
Outdated, forgotten, we're yesterday's obsolete
Yesterday's model, and oh, so expendable
Is it comforting to know we're so temporary? Temporary
Yesterday, obsolete
We're so obsolete
Yesterday's model, and oh, so expendable
You were so right to write me off
This is the sound
These are the words
This is the voice
When you're just a memory I'll be there
To remind you of what you said
As ash to ash so you will return...
"You once made such noise, but now so obsolete."
"The Great Golden Gate Disaster"
Outside you there's a remedy
Inside you is an enemy
This twist (this twist) of irony
Can I say you were ever a friend to me?
(Just like we promised)
And you know it was never a lie
The fallen son that bought our freedom
Is the I, the I that had to die
Outside you there's a remedy
A destiny in identity
Is it the shot heard round the world, or just one more apology?
You wrote us off for so long, so. so long
We burned that bridge instead
And now we've got a song
Oh, yeah
You'd better think again
'Cause it's long overdue
Oh, yeah
And there's so many more of us
Than there are of you
Now I can release you (I can release you)
Apart from anything to your corruption
(We sing this dedication)
As justice comes in many forms
This is no exception
The hero, truthless is lying prostrate
(And this is our redemption)
Outside you there's a remedy
A destiny in identity
Is it the shot heard round the world, or just one more apology?
You wrote us off for so long, so. so long
We burned that bridge instead
And now we've got a song
Oh, yeah
You'd better think again
'Cause it's long overdue
Oh, yeah
And there's so many more of us
Than there are of you
The contract on my head
Isn't worth the paper, isn't worth the pen
Isn't worth the plastic promise
When the units aren't moving
But we know (we know) we know
Our hearts are beyond prices
These words erupting from swollen tonsils
Will devour your clever devices
(These words are my gift to you)
My gift to you, these words
(These words are my gift to you)
My gift to you, these words
(These words are my gift to you)
My gift to you, these words
(These words are my gift to you)
For everything, you put us through
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
I used to want to change the world
In brotherhood, us two
But now my friend I only want to save it
From you
I bid farewell to those lonely days
Breaking my back for you to siphon my veins
The masters will now return
To the (hands of the slaves)
And we'll spin them reel to reel
So that every single time you hear
This soundtrack of the voiceless
You'll know the end is drawing near
Can I say you were ever a friend to me? No
Now, you know, now, you know
"Breakneck Speed"
Another day in the hurt
Another grope in the search
Another shove with a smirk
Once more treading, running, pleading, pushing onto
Another bridge through the mist
Another hole in the midst
Another edge to the cliff
With her soft, sweet, subtle final kiss
Say, say, say what you will
So sorry
I will never be confined to follow you
So sorry
So you can say, say, say what you will
So sorry
Despite your offer there is nothing in you for me
Another stab in the dark, yeah
Another stake through the heart, yeah
Another plea to depart
Now I'm reaching forward, racing to her arms
And with a cruel embrace, yeah
Another end to the chase, yeah
Another falling from grace
Into cunning, cold, crafty web of lace
Say, say, say what you will
So sorry
I will never be confined to follow you
So sorry
So you can say, say, say what you will
So sorry
Despite your offer there is nothing in you for me
Sink in her wine
Why would I want anyone else?
She took from me
My everything
My everything
Oh!
So sorry, so sorry, so sorry for all this
So sorry, so sorry, so sorry for all of this
I wish that things could have been so very different for us
I wish that you could have been, I wish that you could have been,
I wish that you could have been my everything
So sorry
So long
It's been so real
"Sioux Lane Spirits"
Daddy, she has your eyes
And when she grins you can only realize
The guilt she manifests so deep inside you
That your thin veneer of catechism can no longer hide
The voice you hear, her secret pain
As she digs the shiv into her placid veins
Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
But she can't yet realize
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Your ever wayward eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Will be her demise
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
You slipped into another, forbidden
Took her for the ride, you've ridden
Hoping to let her deep inside your disdain
What was it that drove your feign
Into another's arms, into another's bed
When all the while your young one waits up in dread
What was it? Was it something she did?
What was it? Was it something she said?
Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
But she can't yet realize
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Your ever wayward eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Will be her demise
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Writhe and burn father you were
She dances in the moonlight
Collecting drops of the earthy dew
Celebrating her exit
From the benign sense of self she once knew
Raising her heavy glass
(Raising her heavy glass)
Her cup now spills on her skirt
And as she cuts her knees in the dirt
She prays for the hourglass to flip and reverse
Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
But she can't yet realize
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Your ever wayward eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Will be her demise
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Writhe and burn father you were
"Circuitry"
If you want to find me I'll be.
Lost
Lost in your circuitry
The only home for me
Not unlike
Heavenly, pulsating, moistening
Infinite holy mystery
Fear I not
Tear I not
Leave I not
Inside this
Horizon lines I know too well
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down (Horizon lines I know too well)
If you want to find me I'll be.
Lost
Lost in this sound and
Lost in this dream
That I've lived, I've breathed
(I've lived and I've breathed)
This melancholy sadness
This manic extreme
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down (Horizon lines I know too well)
But what if they find us and what if you leave?
Are you peaking yet?
Soaring, defying
The height
The valley
The imminent gravity
All I wanna do is just stay here with you
What if they find us and
What if you leave?
You're hurting for me
In my ears so perfectly
We're peaking together
In this sonic revelry
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down (Horizon lines I know too well)
All I wanna do is just stay here with you
"A Fruitless End Ever"
"You cannot hide now
I'll find you somehow
Together we can find new ways to drown"
"All I really want is
A moment of your time
To grant
To give
To make you one with mine
You'll fill this empty space and
I will
Be your outlet
We'll plant
We'll reap
And meet in cruel descent"
"Together we can find new ways to drown"
"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your shadow is my comfort 'til the end of time"
"All I really want is
Someone to share with me
This treasure
This gift
This unceasing agony
How could you ever turn back now when
Our failure's so complete
So cold
So far
So dark in here with me"
"Together we can find new ways to drown"
"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your shadow is my comfort 'til the end of time
You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your sadness is my reason to forget what lies inside"
There must be something, something else
Yeah, something, something else
Yeah, something, something else
There must be something else than you
"You cannot hide now
I'll find you somehow
Together we can find new ways to drown"
"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your shadow is my comfort 'til the end of time"
"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your sadness is my reason to forget what lies inside"
"A Text Message To The So-Called Emperor"
For too long cast aside, stripped of dignity, opportunity
Countless sleepless days in underestimation
But under these anxious, darkening leaves
No word goes unheard
And no deed is without compensation
When the workers come to collect their wages
Now the straw men are swaying in the distance
The have-nots calling in the listless wind
Whispering for retribution
Waiting for some voice to call them
From the bottom where you left them
So onward friends from our battered homes
Forward to the onrush of cast stones, crushed bones
And the gallows
"Solace"
We have waited for so long
To occur this day
There are those who fly away to a distant place
But I think I'll stay
And I wouldn't have it any other way
In this solace I see
A light piercing the darkness
Coming on the winds
Of imagery
When all I know is crumbling
I am becoming something more than humanity could ever allow me to be
I remember a day when
My dreams of escape
Seemed so far away
Let's go back in time, you and I
To my
Initiation to your false empire
You greased, you aimed
And then you spit
While I
Once again pushed away my conscience
Yet always, it seems
I cannot fathom the plateau
Without first the pit
Against the goads there can be no pleading
Because every thought reaps an action
And for you, my former captor
All the earthly wisdom and wealth
Cannot erase your susceptibility
To brutal mortality
And the funny thing about justice
Is that it always comes when you least expect it
So friends it won't be long
Seems I stole your smile, right from wrong
So forever now we'll find
Our peace inside this
We'll find our solace in your silence
And though I once desired your twisted sense of fame
I know, I know that in myself I'm nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing but the words of the "meaningless"
You have given me all I'll ever need
The nerve, the greed, the lust, the lust, the lust, the lust for justice
And now I will never rest
Until the meaningless become your silence
.And you're
Over
Over
Over
Out!
Now I mean to thank you once again, with this
My, my, my goodbye kiss
You broke my heart
But something tells me that I won't, that I won't, and I won't miss it
And on this very day
And on this very hill
While the heavens are hushed
In anticipation, beckoning
We'll have ourselves a reckoning
And all of the oppressed will greet you
And you're
Over
Over
Over
Out!
Over
Over
Over

I used to want to change the world
In brotherhood, us two
But now my friend I only want to save it
From you
I bid farewell to those lonely days
Breaking my back for you to siphon my veins
The masters will now return
To the (hands of the slaves)
And we'll spin them reel to reel
So that every single time you hear
This soundtrack of the voiceless
You'll know the end is drawing near
Can I say you were ever a friend to me? No
Now, you know, now, you know
"Breakneck Speed"
Another day in the hurt
Another grope in the search
Another shove with a smirk
Once more treading, running, pleading, pushing onto
Another bridge through the mist
Another hole in the midst
Another edge to the cliff
With her soft, sweet, subtle final kiss
Say, say, say what you will
So sorry
I will never be confined to follow you
So sorry
So you can say, say, say what you will
So sorry
Despite your offer there is nothing in you for me
Another stab in the dark, yeah
Another stake through the heart, yeah
Another plea to depart
Now I'm reaching forward, racing to her arms
And with a cruel embrace, yeah
Another end to the chase, yeah
Another falling from grace
Into cunning, cold, crafty web of lace
Say, say, say what you will
So sorry
I will never be confined to follow you
So sorry
So you can say, say, say what you will
So sorry
Despite your offer there is nothing in you for me
Sink in her wine
Why would I want anyone else?
She took from me
My everything
My everything
Oh!
So sorry, so sorry, so sorry for all this
So sorry, so sorry, so sorry for all of this
I wish that things could have been so very different for us
I wish that you could have been, I wish that you could have been,
I wish that you could have been my everything
So sorry
So long
It's been so real
"Sioux Lane Spirits"
Daddy, she has your eyes
And when she grins you can only realize
The guilt she manifests so deep inside you
That your thin veneer of catechism can no longer hide
The voice you hear, her secret pain
As she digs the shiv into her placid veins
Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
But she can't yet realize
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Your ever wayward eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Will be her demise
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
You slipped into another, forbidden
Took her for the ride, you've ridden
Hoping to let her deep inside your disdain
What was it that drove your feign
Into another's arms, into another's bed
When all the while your young one waits up in dread
What was it? Was it something she did?
What was it? Was it something she said?
Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
But she can't yet realize
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Your ever wayward eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Will be her demise
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Writhe and burn father you were
She dances in the moonlight
Collecting drops of the earthy dew
Celebrating her exit
From the benign sense of self she once knew
Raising her heavy glass
(Raising her heavy glass)
Her cup now spills on her skirt
And as she cuts her knees in the dirt
She prays for the hourglass to flip and reverse
Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
But she can't yet realize
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Your ever wayward eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Will be her demise
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Now she has your eyes
Something you wanted, you wanted, something you wanted, you wanted
Writhe and burn father you were
"Circuitry"
If you want to find me I'll be.
Lost
Lost in your circuitry
The only home for me
Not unlike
Heavenly, pulsating, moistening
Infinite holy mystery
Fear I not
Tear I not
Leave I not
Inside this
Horizon lines I know too well
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down (Horizon lines I know too well)
If you want to find me I'll be.
Lost
Lost in this sound and
Lost in this dream
That I've lived, I've breathed
(I've lived and I've breathed)
This melancholy sadness
This manic extreme
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down (Horizon lines I know too well)
But what if they find us and what if you leave?
Are you peaking yet?
Soaring, defying
The height
The valley
The imminent gravity
All I wanna do is just stay here with you
What if they find us and
What if you leave?
You're hurting for me
In my ears so perfectly
We're peaking together
In this sonic revelry
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down
Soma, Soma
Running, Running
Down (Horizon lines I know too well)
All I wanna do is just stay here with you
"A Fruitless End Ever"
"You cannot hide now
I'll find you somehow
Together we can find new ways to drown"
"All I really want is
A moment of your time
To grant
To give
To make you one with mine
You'll fill this empty space and
I will
Be your outlet
We'll plant
We'll reap
And meet in cruel descent"
"Together we can find new ways to drown"
"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your shadow is my comfort 'til the end of time"
"All I really want is
Someone to share with me
This treasure
This gift
This unceasing agony
How could you ever turn back now when
Our failure's so complete
So cold
So far
So dark in here with me"
"Together we can find new ways to drown"
"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your shadow is my comfort 'til the end of time
You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your sadness is my reason to forget what lies inside"
There must be something, something else
Yeah, something, something else
Yeah, something, something else
There must be something else than you
"You cannot hide now
I'll find you somehow
Together we can find new ways to drown"
"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your shadow is my comfort 'til the end of time"
"You know
You're mine
This madness suits me fine
Your sadness is my reason to forget what lies inside"
"A Text Message To The So-Called Emperor"
For too long cast aside, stripped of dignity, opportunity
Countless sleepless days in underestimation
But under these anxious, darkening leaves
No word goes unheard
And no deed is without compensation
When the workers come to collect their wages
Now the straw men are swaying in the distance
The have-nots calling in the listless wind
Whispering for retribution
Waiting for some voice to call them
From the bottom where you left them
So onward friends from our battered homes
Forward to the onrush of cast stones, crushed bones
And the gallows
"Solace"
We have waited for so long
To occur this day
There are those who fly away to a distant place
But I think I'll stay
And I wouldn't have it any other way
In this solace I see
A light piercing the darkness
Coming on the winds
Of imagery
When all I know is crumbling
I am becoming something more than humanity could ever allow me to be
I remember a day when
My dreams of escape
Seemed so far away
Let's go back in time, you and I
To my
Initiation to your false empire
You greased, you aimed
And then you spit
While I
Once again pushed away my conscience
Yet always, it seems
I cannot fathom the plateau
Without first the pit
Against the goads there can be no pleading
Because every thought reaps an action
And for you, my former captor
All the earthly wisdom and wealth
Cannot erase your susceptibility
To brutal mortality
And the funny thing about justice
Is that it always comes when you least expect it
So friends it won't be long
Seems I stole your smile, right from wrong
So forever now we'll find
Our peace inside this
We'll find our solace in your silence
And though I once desired your twisted sense of fame
I know, I know that in myself I'm nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing but the words of the "meaningless"
You have given me all I'll ever need
The nerve, the greed, the lust, the lust, the lust, the lust for justice
And now I will never rest
Until the meaningless become your silence
.And you're
Over
Over
Over
Out!
Now I mean to thank you once again, with this
My, my, my goodbye kiss
You broke my heart
But something tells me that I won't, that I won't, and I won't miss it
And on this very day
And on this very hill
While the heavens are hushed
In anticipation, beckoning
We'll have ourselves a reckoning
And all of the oppressed will greet you
And you're
Over
Over
Over
Out!
Over
Over
Over
