1.Chamber The Cartridge

Tell me how these things traced with colors filled with black debris
And how these loyal, living reich were nameless things swept out of sight
Dead through the streamers on the sky past neon words where we
Remember those killed by names we each call
Are you happy where you are?

Blind to this impending fate
We'll let the world carry our weight
Its back breaks with every mile
But we all live in denial

2.Injection

You spend your days counting the hours you're awake
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same
It's a burden you've been burying in spite of all your prayers
As the light turns off inside your heart do you remember
What it's like to care

Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can't breathe

Give me the drug, keep me alive, give me whats left of my life
Let me go

Pull this plug, let me breath

3.Ready To Fall

Hold on slow down again from the top now and tell me everything
I know I've been gone for what seems like forever
But I'm here now waiting
To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger
But closer than you think
'She said just go on to what you
pretend is your life but
Please don't die on me'

Wings won't take me
Heights don't phase me
So take a step
But don't look down
Take a step

4.Bricks

When faith alone is not enough,
To keep our heads barely above,
We look for reason and come up empty-handed.
And when our children fight our wars,
While we sit back just keeping score,
We're teaching murder not understanding now.

We're setting the fires to light the way,
We're burning it all to begin again,
With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands,
We sing for change

The lives our buried sons have laid,
...

5.Under The Knife

Wake me up inside
Tell me theres a reason
To take another step
To get up off my knees and,
Follow this path of most resistance
Wherever it takes us,
Whatever it faces and wherever it leads,

so, wake me when it's through,
I don't want to feel the things that you do
Don't worry I'll be fine
Just don't want this dream, wake me up inside

Something for the pain, just to kill this feeling

6.Prayer Of The Refugee

Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I'll tell you stories of a better time,
In a place that we once knew.

Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust,
We had a place that we could call home,
And a life no one could touch.

Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don't need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

7.Drones

Deep inside these burning buildings
Voices die to be heard
Years we spent teaching a lesson
We ourselves had never learned

And if strength is born from heartbreak
Many mountains I could move
And if walls could speak I'd pray
That they would tell me what to do

If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.
Forget my name and I'll forget it too.
Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives

8.The Approaching Curve

[Spoken:]
The music played with a calming frequency.
The speakers gently seeped the sound of ambient keyboards and light percussion,
creating a seductive soundtrack to our midnight drive through curtains of blackness.
The windows were cold to the touch, reflecting the icy conditions in our immediate extremity.
Salt stains and fingerprints littered the glass, and streaks with melted snow cascaded down it's length.
The music pulsed louder, yet gentle, like the far away squeal of a pot of boiling water.

9.Worth Dying For

Set me off like dynamite strapped tight around my waist
We are the ones in competition but claim this ain't no race

(Let's go!)

Take a breath and explode like bullets
Tearing through the wind
Cut me up with a razor blade
Then try to separate the skin
Now when the
White flames are burning flags
We found a world worth dying for yeah

We've been battered so hard that
We don't feel anymore

10.Behind Closed Doors

Chairs thrown and tables toppled,
Hands armed with broken bottles,
Standing no chance to win but,
We're not running, we're not running.

There's a point I think we're missing,
It's in the air we raise our fists in,
In the smiles we cast each other,
My sister, my brother.

About the time we gave up hope and
We never find these locks still open,
Stumbling on stones unturned,
...

11.Roadside

Tell me what I'm supposed to do,
With all these leftover feelings of you,
'Cause I don't know,
And tell me how I'm supposed to feel,
When all these nightmares become real,
'Cause I don't know,

And I don't think, you see the places inside me that I find new,
And I don't know, how we separate the lies here from the truth,
And I don't know, how we woke up one day somehow thought we knew,
Exactly what we're supposed to do.

12.The Good Left Undone

In fields where nothing grew but weeds,
I found a flower at my feet,
Bending there in my direction,
I wrapped a hand around its stem,
I pulled until the roots gave in,
Finding now what I've been missing,
But I know?
So I tell myself, I tell myself it's wrong.

There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.
All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.

13.Survive

Somewhere between happy and total fucking wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground, sometimes at the edge
Spend your waking moments, simply counting time
Give up on your hopes and dreams, you give up on your…

[Chorus:]
Life for you, has been less than kind
So take a number, stand in line
We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt
But how we survive, is what makes us who we are

An obvious disinterest, a barely managed smile

14.Built To Last

Invest time, invest life
invest it all, reinvent yourself
before you know it
your essence is renewed with something fresh
Your will, your way
will earn respect in your day
let the glory sharpened knife
carve the future of your life

let's not praise the past, just a fact
Built to last
old school or the new
doesn't mean a thing if your heart's not true
greedy ones faded fast, we're here
