To sacrifice oneself never made sense to me
Cause life is really the only and last gift we've all received
Some will waste it in the name of something you can't see
Continually defeat the purpose of that something creating

Oh, delusions
Are meant to justify, justify the things you do
Oh, delusions
Never really qualified, qualified as an excuse

As he approached the city center with the skyline in view
There was nothing left to contemplate, he knew he must follow through
With the plan certified by faith and a plan written in death
At that moment, this was it, he took his last breath

Oh, delusions
Are meant to justify, justify the things you do
Oh, delusions
Never really qualified, qualified as an excuse

No more hiding, no more hiding, no more blame
No more fighting, no more fighting, no more pain
No more chaos, no more chaos, no more stress
And no addiction, no addiction, no more mess
No swollen head
No more greed, no more feeding from the hand
No more writing, no more "blame it on the man"
Realize it's your own fault

"Da-da-da, do-do-da-do-da"

I'll Never leave this place,
No I'll never leave this place,
I'll never leave the place
where I was born.
Because beyond these town limits
even though I've never seen 'em,
There's really nothing else to explore
There's nothing more...

Where is your intrigue and interest?
You don't have any questions or wonder
Why would I leave this place
When I'm comfortable right here?
Everything I need and more isn't far, it's near

I'll never leave this place,
No I'll never leave this place,
I'll never leave the place
where I was born.
Because beyond these town limits
even though I've never seen 'em,
There's really nothing else to explore
There's nothing more...

You have created a falsehood,
a focused and closed minded view.
There's no telling where we'll be
at this same time next year
But I do know one thing,
it wont be far from here.

I'll never leave this place,
No I'll never leave this place,
I'll never leave the place
where I was born.
Because beyond these town limits
even though I've never seen 'em,
There's really nothing else to explore
There's nothing more...

Pessimistic, yes, it may seem,
But if you'd been there,
You'd know what I mean.

A struggle and suffering that won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away
It won't go away

Was put in a round room and told to sit in the corner
While they washed my brain with a dirty rag
Was given a hammer and told to build a fortress
With walls impossible to penetrate

You're the only thing I need and
You've become the only thing that keeps me breathing
Without you I'd be
In a dark place with no light switch,
An open wound without a stitch,
Maybe now you will understand

No matter how stable your foundation may seem
Everything is crashing down on me
With paper cuts on finger tips, blackened eyes and open lips
Forever wounded it's hard to tell

You're the only thing I need
Whether I fail or succeed
Within my blindness, you are all I see
The morning fog, sun burns away
A predator's eye without its prey
Maybe now you will understand

I won't quit on you
No I won't quit on you
I won't let it in
Ever, ever, ever, ever

Wait for me
You're onto something
Maybe there's no need
To play catch up, to play catch up
Wait for me
You're onto something
Maybe there's no need
To play catch up, to play catch up

You're casually
Casually walking through life without a worry
Worried its effects will show
So now I'm gathering
Gathering the pebbles I need to drink from the well
So thirsty, so thirsty

Wait for me
Well I am not very far behind
So wait for me
I'm still chasing you
Wait for me
Well I am not very far behind
So wait for me
While I play catch up, play catch up

But thankfully
Thankfully I haven't been taken very seriously
Seriously anxious to run the course without stumbling
Stumbling over fences
Now I'm falling
Falling down the hillside
It's way too steep
It's way too steep

Wait for me
Well I am not very far behind
So wait for me
I'm still chasing you
Wait for me
Well I am not very far behind
So wait for me
I'm still chasing you

I happened to take a chance
Now there's no turning back
Return to childhood dreams
They're rusted figurines
I've been through life fast
Riding over broken glass
There is no question now
That I will catch up
Will catch up, will catch up...

You're suffering, feel your pain
Allow me to be your sponge
Cause I can absorb your sorrows, I'm the one
Fire may rain down on you, but I'll be your water
Waves may crash on you, but I'll be your land
Cause I want to give you, just a temporary bliss

Just a little bit, just a little bit, a little more information
To add to my confusion, to add to the frustration
I don't need it

So shed your pain, while I sit in silence
As you bleed your deepest feelings here
Quakes may rattle you, but I'll be your sky
Winds may twist around you, but I'll be your clouds

Just a little bit, just a little bit, a little more information
To add to my confusion, to add to the frustration
I don't need it, no I don't need it

He woke up next to her, his head against her head
His hand upon her breast, he knew today meant death
He kissed her on the cheek, and then on her lips
Thought to himself "it's the last time I'll do this"

Put on a suit, pressed and clean
He brushed his hair, grabbed his keys
Then he headed out to the morning air
With an anticipation no man could bear

The air was heavy, he could feel it in his lungs
With every step he took, a prayer rolled off his tongue
They were prayers of forgiveness, and prayers of praise
And his actions a gift for a god without a name

Just a little bit, just a little bit, a little more information
To add to my confusion, to add to the frustration
I don't need it, no I don't need it

I am not the one to blame
We are all part of the problem
Damper your complaints
We are all, we're all to blame

It makes me wish I was a banger
I'd come and retaliate
I tend to avoid impulsive gangster attitudes
Cause they will blind you

It's gonna eat you up
It's gonna drag you down
Gonna get all that you ask for

Affected many lives
Left a void so wide
Gonna get all that you want

Looking for a saviour
Not one who saves
Been looking for a saviour
One to retaliate

There's no need for forgiveness
It's already said and done
But don't let revenge consume and take hold of you
Cause it will blind you

It's gonna eat him up
It's gonna drag him down
He's gonna get all that he asked for

Affected many lives
Left a void so wide
Gonna get all that he wants

Looking for a saviour
Not one who saves
Been looking for a saviour
One to retaliate

Open up, open up
Open up, open up

You affected many lives
You left a void so wide
Gonna get all that you ask for

It's gonna eat you up
It's gonna drag you down
You're gonna get all that you want

Looking for a saviour
Not one who saves
Been looking for a saviour
One to retaliate

You've sworn to retaliate
One to retaliate

Open up, open up
Open up, open up

Are You OK?

Well i've been absorbing mediocrity
Been hollowed by uncertainty
I've taken all of my beliefs and given them up
Cuz there's no guarantee of a god of longevity
It makes you don't know anything and give it up

Singing i dont know if i've been reborn in the past life,
Suffered in another time i don't know
Give it up

Well i don't know what to believe anymore
But every now and then i feel a moment of awakening
But then it's gone
I'm blanketed by the warmth of ignorance

If i go somewhere special when i die
So i'll just go on living my way

There's a strength in duality
Penetrate mentality
Give it up
Learn from casualty
Don't have faith in anything
Give it up

Singing i don't know no i'll never know i'm giving up
Give it up
Singing i dont know if i've been reborn in the past life,
Suffered in another time no i don't know

We'll be mourning this morning
There is no need to complain
Cos we've been ignoring this warning
There is no pleasure without this pain

We're drawn together by accident
We'll be forever with these words and
Melodies they'll guide us through this speck in time
We're trying to get the missed attempts
We are forever with these words and
Memories they'll guide us through this night
We're getting older, older, older

Another day, another rut
Along the highways faults
We sat and watched him, the saddened watchmen
He's all alone

We're drawn together by accident
We'll be forever with these words and
Melodies they'll guide us through this speck in time
We're trying to get the missed attempts
We are forever with these words and
Memories they'll guide us through this night
We're getting older, older, older

But it's not over, over
Cos this all, all you'll ever get
Don't forget that, don't forget that, don't forget
Cos this all, all you'll ever get
Don't forget that, it's your one and only chance
Go this far, on your own
We'll be mourning this morning
We'll be mourning this morning
Cos we've been ignoring this warning all along
We're getting older, older, older

Take a look around,
All things green and brown,
Are here to stay,
The people walking by,
Buildings built so high,
Will be gone someday,
A piercing sound so loud,
Takes over the crowd,
Watch them run away,
Objects in the sky,
Blacken all the light,
Total disarray,
What a show,
What a show,
Take a look around,
Everything you've found will be gone someday.

Gonna miss your ways, your sin, your smell, your smile
An anxious attempt to let you know
Dancing on the roof of some cartoon showroom
But in an instant Id give it all right back
So keep moving onward
Run through that open door
Consuming knowledge
Wormhole through times before

Cant you hear their voices crying
Cant you hear their hearts breaking

There is only so much we can, only so much can be shown to you
The rest is your choice... its your choice?
When I close my eyes, I see two faces above me
One to my left, one to my right
I took you under, under my wing to shadow
It never did bother me to hide you from the light
So keep moving onward
Run through that open door
Consuming knowledge
Wormhole through times before

Cant you hear their voices crying
Cant you hear their hearts breaking

There is only so much we can, only so much can be shown to you
The rest is your choice?its your choice?its your choice
So keep moving onward (Run through that open door)

There's a way
A way to get out of here
To escape these storms and find some shelter
To rid of your darkness, to rid of your boredom
There's somewhere
Somewhere that you can go
It's obvious, well, well it's apparent
It's right in front of you
So reach out and take it
And just let go

Our sobriety will diminish
Discriminate we fade slow, fade slow
These drugs will expand us
United we will grow
Let go, Let go

There's a way
A way to squash all of your fears
When everyone around you seems to be a stranger
You feel their eyes upon you
Your hearing their thoughts
As they walk away their voice grows louder
Illusions illuminate
While your delusions dictate your next move
You're bound by deception and a misled direction
So just let go

Our sobriety will diminish
Discriminate we fade slow, fade slow
These drugs will expand us
United we will grow
Let go, Let go, Let go

There's a way
A way out of here
There's a way
A way out of here
So just let go

Our sobriety will diminish
Discriminate we fade slow, fade slow
These drugs will expand us
United we will grow
Let go, Let go

Sitting in the sand, watch the tide roll up
Take a deep breath in, as your past fades out
Let everything else just fade into the horizon

When the planet stops spinning and the music stops
Take a deep breath in, let your life fade out
With everything else you'll fade into the horizon

"I'll never leave this place, where I was born"
"I need a little more information to add to this confusion"
"These delusions, they are meant to justify the things you do"
"Thankfully, I haven't been taken very seriously"
"Keep moving onward, keep moving onward"
"I don't know if I've been reborn, or lived a past life, suffered in another time"
"I'm gathering the pebbles, I need to drink from the well"
"We are all part of this problem"
"Just let go, just let go, just let go, just let go"
"Into the horizon, let everything else just fade into the horizon"
