Hypothermic 05:07
Hypothermic This sensation could be it All that we have left A day in the sun that To ourselves we kept Locked in a black case Safe behind the glass These panes I am ready to break Please believe I can see the cracks under the ice Deepening We are standing on a line But I'm with you now Please don't take that away You're with me now Lets make our escape This procession we're leading All dressed up in black Could find us receding Never coming back These nails in our coffin Buried with the past These pains I am ready to break Please believe I can see the cracks under the ice Deepening We are standing on a line Right now There still remains so much to be seen (So much to see) I will not await the death of a dream tonight (Death of a dream) As slumber keeps setting in I peel the frost from your pale blue skin Please believe I can see the cracks under the ice Deepening We are standing on a line Right now There still remains so much to be seen (So much to see) I will not await the death of a dream tonight (Death of a dream) You've become so hypothermic You've become so cold

Life Slips Away We move forward And lose ourselves Life slips away Life slips away I used to gaze up at the sky Back at myself and wonder why I have so much and yet I Feel so incomplete I used to wish for better days Reach out to hands I couldn't save I used to know that fate Guides the will in me But what if we've wasted all our lives Waiting for a night like tonight That may never come? (that may never come?) And what if we're always haunted by A moment that we've left undefined Just to let this go (just to let this go?) So trusting, You're all but deceived by your senses Blinded, You're walking a path With your eyes downcast You're rusting, Dying to leave these defenses Prying Like hell at this cage But it holds steadfast So trusting, You're only a slave to your footsteps Blinded, Retracing a ring 'Round a dream that's passed You're rusting, Drying like leaves on white fences, Finding That everyone's gone And your die is cast, it's cast I won't just gaze up at the sky Back at myself and wonder why I have so much and still I Feel so incomplete I won't just wish for better days Reach out to hands I couldn't save I won't believe that fate Guides the will in me For life slips away Right through my hands I will not waste one more last chance What if we've wasted all our lives Waiting for a night like tonight That may never come? (that may never come?) And what if we're always haunted by A moment that we've left undefined Just to let this go (just to let this go?)

False Alarm 04:48
False Alarm I stand A man apart from the world Separated My hands grasp at unity These streets Crack and die here alone Antiquated Waiting for you to cross to me I brace For impact and I know That it's long belated As your comet comes crashing through my sky And I couldn't care less I can only care more Can you help me Put back the stars into constellations? My space has become so dark Will you give me A mountain to stand on Over these city lights? We'd be more than just our parts You won't be alone tonight Together we will wait for morning light You don't have to know it's right But to tell the truth, I sure don't mind This could be a false alarm But then again This could be love Can you help me Put back the stars into constellations? My space has become so dark Will you give me A mountain to stand on Over these city lights? We'd be more than just our parts We could be more

The Mirage Line This idea was a still birth The antithesis to reason A prelude to a fold And I still carry this curse Through the shadows of treason These chains weigh down my soul And I, I'm so far From the truth A lie would lead me to you A lie would lead me back A lie would lead me back to you And the desert draws a line That cannot be erased I know I see it But it's hard to tell Am I awake? Or away? Am I awake? Breathing so softly... I, I've bled the evidence dry And I must confess this Could be the day that I die So I will take my own advice And rein in my desire Burn the map at fireside And leave it to rot Sunburnt skin peels from the bone And still my footprints stand alone And the desert draws a line That cannot be erased I know I see it But it's hard to tell Am I awake? Or away? Am I awake? Breathing so softly...

Suffocated by the Light You take this hypo-critic oath To lift up those in need When the ones who need it most Are the ones you refuse to feed So preach on About a damned generation Destined to fall Destined to fail and preach on Ready your rhetoric Righteous to the core Perfection is a false ideal (keep on reaching) Paid for by the faith that you steal (keep on reaching) Empty your pockets to make it all right (keep reaching) We've been Suffocated by the light We are Covered in ashes No more Will I be sated by a bright beyond Comfort in a casket I will not Stare through stained glass window Trying to see A vision of me I will not Consider your rhetoric Righteous anymore Perfection is a false ideal (keep on reaching) Paid for by the faith that you steal (keep on reaching) Empty your pockets to make it all right (keep reaching) We've been Suffocated by the light We are Covered in ashes No more Will I be sated by a bright beyond Comfort in a casket You take this hypo-critic oath To lift up those in need When the ones who need it most...
