We’re so lost inside ourselves We just let them take control Easy to forget (just pretend there’s nothing wrong) You’re the sheep, sound asleep Slowly heading to the slaughter house They truly love you at the slaughter house Don’t forget to take your pills, Work so hard to pay your bills Feel no regret (just believe there’s nothing wrong) You’re the sheep, sound asleep Slowly heading to the slaughter house They truly love you at the slaughter house For them it’s pocket change For us a lifetime of playing their game We’re the sheep, sound asleep Slowly heading to the slaughter house They truly love us at the slaughter house

You know where to find me What held you back so long? Learn that what seems right Can always be wrong And I keep at my corner While screams come back to me Feel the air tighten all around me Like fire to the skin Greatness falls as we’re doubtful And the sky turns grey instead Why do you keep hesitating When it’s all inside your head You will never understand Don’t mind ‘bout me baby ‘cause you’ll never understand these words Yet for me it is simple My time keeps shortening As my feelings disappear My soul cries crawling All has come back to haunt me All of us in this prison cell Try to look back at all we’ve done Waiting to rebel You will never understand Don’t mind ‘bout me baby ‘cause you’ll never understand these words Never understand It’s inside your head You will never understand Don’t mind ‘bout me baby ‘cause you’ll never understand these words

Speechless 03:24
We’re strangers From the land of bad seed Sitting at the table Where hate is dessert We’ve been patiently waiting Ready for anything You left all of me speechless So now I’m a free careless spirit In search of blood Listen to the memories They’re calling you out The voices in your head You can’t live without Silence, suddenly prevails Lost inside my own fairytale You left all of me speechless So now I’m a free careless spirit In search of blood

The Moth 04:46
It’s a brand new level of torture A heartfelt cry of shame I don’t know what else to tell you Just ignore this and walk away I’m nothing, it’s nothing It’s subjective, it’s anemic It’s a heavily protected lie What have we become? Is this all we’re gonna get I can’t bear to feel you watching me Something we cannot reset ‘Cause deep down you really disgust me I’m a myth, I’m sin I’m a moth with burning wings What a harsh way to disagree Unnatural beauty Sweet disillusion Quick to burn But slow to die Slow to die
5.
More or Less 04:15
I tried to be perfect But I couldn’t do it It wasn’t my fault, I wasn’t built to shine I tried to be gorgeous I wouldn’t believe it I kept on thinking I was less, no more could I guess I was fine I’m a rock, never shaken, my core never broken, my faith kept on working, More or less, I’ll keep hoping I tried to see past this But it’s hard to ignore it It wasn’t my fault, I’m a real live person I tried to be bigger But I wouldn’t fit here I couldn’t set myself to be less, no more could I guess I was right I’m a rock, never shaken, my core never broken, my faith kept on working, More or less, I’ll keep hoping I’ll build a home inside my chest I’ll burn all the bridges and feast on the ashes I’ll live here forever, forever I’ll rest Embracing the truth when everything crashes When everything crashes I’m a rock, never shaken, my core never broken, my faith kept on working, More or less, I’ll keep hoping
6.
The Devil 04:16
They want to burn me at the stake They want my ashes on the ground My heart scattered into many pieces My hope nowhere to be found For a second I despair When I see you laugh and stare When you judge and don’t know why Somehow that’ll pass me by I’m the devil Didn’t you know? I’m the devil I’ll make you bleed, I’ll make you grow I’ll make you work so very hard I’ll push you to do your best I’ll take you where you’ve never been before Set you aside from all the rest For a second I’m not there When you’re trying to compare When you’re mean and don’t know why Somehow that’ll pass me by I’m the devil Didn’t you know? I’m the devil I’ll make you bleed, I’ll make you grow On the outside I’m so sweet But inside I’m burning up I’ll have you kneeling at my feet Begging for a taste of my love For a second I’m not there When you’re trying to compare When you’re mean and don’t know why Somehow that’ll pass me by I’m the devil Didn’t you know? I’m the devil I’ll make you bleed, I’ll make you grow

Redemption 04:19
Protect me, my sins are my own Don’t tempt me, it’s all just for show Protect me, let me be your demon Demon human, human demon I’m tired, but you already knew that We’re looking for redemption Inside there’s just another inexplicable feeling But you already knew that We’re looking for redemption Inside there’s just another inexplicable feeling Don’t thrill me, don’t thrill me now Forgive me, I’m keeping my vow Don’t thrill me, I’ve got so much to give ya, give Please find me, I’m craving for connection Knee deep in good intentions So blessed, so holy, sentimental, still judgemental I’m tired, but you already knew that We’re looking for redemption Inside there’s just another inexplicable feeling But you already knew that We’re looking for redemption Inside there’s just another inexplicable feeling Stop screaming at me, ‘cause you don’t know me Somehow I can’t remember ever cutting you loose See, I’m a warrior, you shouldn’t have to ask All doubts go away by staring at my past I’m tired, but you already knew that We’re looking for redemption Inside there’s just another inexplicable feeling But you already knew that We’re looking for redemption Inside there’s just another inexplicable feeling

I tried to dream on But I couldn’t find what I was looking for Trust came before All the times you asked me to hold on Sitting out there The room brought the silence I seek to sleep Seeing the other side I realized the problem became deep Who turned around Before I could even say a word I know it hurts But some things can be unheard Fear tomorrow Can you explain what I’m doing here Entertainment clown On the edge of going insane I fear that tomorrow has nothing for me

Miles 04:57
Coincidence I’ve tried to see beneath the light Look for the darkness behind your smile Deliverance I’ve ruined my life long ago Now it’s time to just let it go I’ve seen what this means I’m losing control We’ve taken and given all Many miles, many holes in my soul Indifference We chose to move on and forget To drown the sickening sound of regret So diligent We put our beliefs aside We’ll look away and romanticize We’ve seen what this means We’ve lost all control We’ve taken and given all Many miles, many holes in my soul
10.
Signs 04:13
Dressed all in black You sit on the ground Nothing to see Nothing to be found You hoped that your life Had meaning somehow You hoped you’d figured it out By now Neither would we ask for more Neither would we know for sure So close to the earth so far from the heart In tune with the pain You’d felt from the start You’re holding my hand You’re holding it tight You hoped we would still be here By now Neither would we ask for more Neither would we know for sure You blink as they shout The sound turns you blind They speak of ideals that Are clouding your mind You look for the words You’re looking for signs You hoped it would all be clear By now Neither would we ask for more Neither would we know for sure
11.
Id 03:23
I’m sorry for the way I look I walk, I sing, I feel I cannot change or rearrange This broken version of me It’s so painful and awful to see I’m amazed by your opinions of all that I should do Forget about my history And just be born anew While I’m trying so hard to be true ‘cause I’m not who I am I can only imagine, what it feels to be me ‘cause I’m not who I am Inside this shell a so called hell Is brewing in the dark This shadow wants to dissipate But we both share the same fate We will listen and still lose our faith ‘cause I’m not who I am I can only imagine, what it feels to be me ‘cause I’m not who I am

Rose 04:50
Nothing but a cold stone to lean on Like a dead flower before its bloom Old and wrecked, confused and shattered A shadow of a brilliant gem Rose, what are you doing now? Don’t you know we miss you? Know we know we really made you proud Deceived by my growing desperation I swore I wouldn’t let you down I’d safe keep your colors, your crown I’d make you survive Rose, what are you doing now? Don’t you know we miss you? Know we know we really made you proud Frightened by my own unawareness I tried to set your fears aside A glimpse of an image, just a moment The life you left still full of promise Rose, what are you doing now? Don’t you know we miss you? Know we know we really made you proud Rose, what are you doing now? Don’t you know we miss you? Don’t you know you really made us proud?
