Lurking around every corner Beseeching everything that you hold Waiting for that perfect moment Lashing out  Take it away Without remorse There's only suffering Everything’s gone in a blink of an eye There will be no redemption On a path leading astray All falling away nothing's okay With all this weight on me it drags me down But it will never keep this hole it's dug for me And you can take this misery with all this pain inside of me You can take this misery and all the pain inside of me When this karma brings me to my knees Will there be anyone there to save me When this karma lifts me to my feet Will it save me or destroy me The picture painted is out of focus Grasping onto what is true belief A story told through half visions Weaving its wicked web of grief Like a rising tide, senselessly driven A shadow lurks beneath this Grasping in the darkness To claim its soul Even though in time the evil’s beaten But the shadow remains beneath this To redeem this hollow being And claim its soul When this karma brings me to my knees Will there be anyone there to save me When this karma lifts me to my feet Will it save me or destroy me Do we deserve this treatment? Have we done wrong by karma? When will everything turn around? Will it ever be? The time will come again For all your hopes and dreams Lost in karma’s fight Left with only your screams

So let's down another drink another shot to keep that feeling flowing No one wants this ride to stop so let's give this crowd what they want Another hit of this let's light 'em up Let's keep this going Can you feel it? I can taste it on my lips It's like an oh sweet drug Your heart beats faster with every hit (with every hit) The more I do the more I want The needle deep in my skin So come on step up  and let's take some more of this shit You won't regret it Now let's see how we feel With our heads in the clouds I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground But this sedative seems to be working To tell the truth Why would I want to come down? Why would I want to come down? So let's down another drink another shot to keep that feeling flowing No one wants this ride to stop so let's give this crowd what they want Another hit of this let's light 'em up Let's keep this going One last time leave it to me I'll show you how it's done Don't you like seeing the world Through these eyes nothing compares One last time leave it to me I'll show you how it's done Don't you like seeing the world through these eyes This feeling is unreal Now trying to keep my head in the clouds Not being rude but I have no discretion They say it's insane, I say it's the only way Why would I want to come down? Why would I want to come down?

I envision myself over and over again Falling into a beautiful abyss It seems so crystal clear is this a dream? Nothing but water all around me A beautiful horizon and a peaceful sea  Should I believe that this is reality? Should I believe in this peaceful sea?  Caught in a tidal wave Wake me from this dream These tides won't release me Can anyone hear me scream? I'm drowning in this sea I'm drowning in this Caught in a tidal wave Wake me from this dream These tides won't release me Can anyone hear me scream? I'm drowning in this sea I'm drowning in this sea As the sky turns black the blue surrounds me The current drags me My lungs are filling I can't get my way out of this The current drags me  My lungs are filling now Is this my fate to drown in my own lies Battling this denial is anyone watching me Drown in desperation The tides are dragging me Deeper and deeper Deeper into the unseen A reflection of light is below me A passage out of this dream Or into another darkened abyss As the sky turns black the blue surrounds me The current drags me My lungs are filling I can't get my way out of this The current drags me  My lungs are filling now The Storm is breaking The Tides release me The Sky is clearing The Light has finally come! I envision myself over and over again Falling into a beautiful abyss It seems so crystal clear

To the Grave 05:20
lyrics

You took my life and left me scarred All that I wanted Faithfulness You said I’d always be yours You threw it away When you took his hand You lost my love In his bed These days will end Never to hold onto The past because of you I take this stand I will not budge And I, I take this to the grave Now all that you wanted Cannot become Will never be Because of you Now I am trapped behind Knuckles from white to red to blue All that you gave me Betrayal My love was pure and you crushed it You threw it away Heartless! You said I’d always be yours Never able to see that you were always heartless Never able to see that you were always heartless These days will end Never to hold onto the past because of you I take this stand I will not budge I'll take this to the grave And in my dreams I see your face I feel your grace And it takes me away from this My love I have waited for so long Waited and now you’re back in my heart Take me away just take me away My eyes awaken No more fantasy My heart is broken This will never be My heart is broken (broken) This will never be Your fake world's taken (taken) Everything from me My eyes awaken No more fantasy Oh my love I have waited for so long Waited and now you’re back in my heart Take me away just take me away Let this dream Let it last forever Baby come back to me come back Take me away just take me away

Through These Eyes 04:28
lyrics

Lost the way, the path is frozen To seal me from the truth And shall I ever know what it’s like Outside these walls (these walls) The darkness leads me to a world of memories The ground I walk on sounds like a thousand screams A thousand screams I dream of serenity but fear is all I perceive Is this the end? Shall my mind consume me? I dream of serenity but fear is all I perceive Is this the end? Shall my mind consume me? I've stitched the final seam To destroy the light of fabric memories These screams haunt me Why won’t these tears help me now? I keep ascending, ascending into a dream Though what carries me This world’s reality has forsaken me I’ve created my own disease As the decay manifests inside My shadow descends within me I’ve stitched the final seam To destroy the light of fabric memories These screams haunt me Why won’t these tears help me now? I keep ascending, ascending into a dream Though what carries me I've fallen into despair
