To look within
The labyrinth of the mind
Recapture thyself
A world of possibilities you shall find

In The Red
04:22
|

Pushed off the edge
Couldn't take it anymore
Sickening to look at
But what else was in store?
Filled with deceit and hate
You’d manipulate my thoughts
Like the fires of Hades
Was the havoc that you've wrought
I'm in the red - Just want others to believe your fiction
I’m in the red - You'll be an object of your own affliction
I’m in the red - Your need to manipulate is an addiction
I’m in the red - You’re nothing but a walking contradiction
Yeah, I’m in the red
Nothing left to be unsaid
I’m in the red
I’m in the red
Lack of ambition
I’ve been blackballed from my life
Pulling your shit again and again
Creating your own strife
Don't know what I was doing
But it’s your fault that I'm this way
I’m so tired of trying
I won’t heal you someday
Destroy the destroyer
Lest she attack you first
The demons you throw me
They no longer hurt
I'm in the red - Just want others to believe your fiction
I’m in the red - You'll be an object of your own affliction
I’m in the red - Your need to manipulate is an addiction
I’m in the red - You’re nothing but a walking contradiction
Yeah, I’m in the red
Nothing left to be unsaid
I'm covered in colors
Of hate and disgust
Humans are evil
I no longer trust
I'm in the red - Just want others to believe your fiction
I’m in the red - You'll be an object of your own affliction
I’m in the red - Your need to manipulate is an addiction
I’m in the red - You’re nothing but a walking contradiction
I’m in the red!

Dogs of War
03:55

Life’s not over
I’m not there
I’m not ready
For my last breath
Must move forward
I took enough steps back
Learn from past mistakes
I have no regrets!
Charging into battle
Fight for my just cause
Struggle against the tyrants
And all their unjust laws
Darkened skies upon us
Chill is in the air
Sneak upon the enemy
We’re in the dragon's lair
Something deep inside me
Awakening the beast
Fire burning, charging forward
It will never cease
Now arm me for the fight
Put the weapon in my hand
Adrenaline takes over
I am more than man
Ride; yeah, ride the dogs of war
Ride the dogs of war
Blood is boiling over
Pulsing through my veins
Controller of my destiny
It’s time to take the reins
Dodging from the bullets
Got another kill
Turn the tide, momentum shift
It’s the force of will
Memories stick with me
I wake in a cold sweat
Back upon the battlefield
Have not escaped them yet
Yeah, ride the dogs of war
Ride the dogs of war
Running from these memories
I can’t escape the past
But I keep moving forward and onward
Ride the dogs of war!

How did I get to here
Sadness, the pain and fear
Damaged and broken
The jury has spoken
Guilty of hurt I caused
Trust that I may have lost
Where will strength come from
I Must overcome
Severed angel
Hollow inside
you want to hide
Severed angel
Your hopes and your dreams cannot die
Severed angel
Hollow inside

A New Beginning
05:34
|
|||
I've been scarred and torn from all of my trials
Holding on, barely
Devoid of all desires
A fleeting light fades into the dark
My candle's burning out
What's given can always be taken away
A lesson I know all about
The world is cruel, jokes at my expense
No empathy or understanding
Unable to cope, I have no defense
No hope, my spirit is fading
I've been scarred and torn from all of my trials
Hold on, I yearn to be healed
I'm battle-worn and tired
So much anger and hate, until you came along
I can't give up now, your love is my shield, and I will carry on
A lack of self-worth, led me down a path
Of harm and self destruction
Denial is my weapon, inflicting my wrath
Confusing cowardice with repulsion
I've been scarred and torn from all of my trials
Hold on, I yearn to be healed
I'm battle-worn and tired
I'll try
I'll fly
I'm ready to fight again
Won't let
Regret
Cloud my commonsense
I'll live
Forgive
Myself for my descent
No way
I'll stray
From the path of my ascent
A light in the dark, you reached out your hand
Like an angel you lifted me up
You said,
“Life doesn't always go as you planned.
What matters is that you get up.”
I'm far from perfect, but I won't give in
Temptation stands no chance
When the world fades to black, your light will bring me back
A light in the dark, you reached out your hand
A Severed Angel no more, my wings take flight once more
I held on, and now I am healed
My fire’s now restored
No longer filled with hate, my spirit will stay strong
Above all the pain, your love is my shield, and we will carry on
Severed Angel no more, my wings are reappearing
Together we've fought through it all, my love, a new beginning

Wide Awake in Screamland
05:08
|

The doctors say to breathe
I just want to fall asleep
Nothing works, trying just makes it worse
Nightmares and daydreams all the same
I’d take either one if I could
Instead I wait in shame
What I wouldn’t give to fall asleep
My thoughts are running deep
The enemy’s inside of my own mind
It’s a terrible design
A terrible design
I just want to fall asleep
Just let me fall asleep
Insomnia
The enemy within
That I can’t defeat
The walls are closing in
Insomnia
The enemy within
That I can’t defeat
The walls are closing in
Lying in your bed
Disorder in your head
Darkness always comes
You can never run
Thoughts that swirl inside
Trying best to hide
Rest is so elusive
The cycle is abusive
Insomnia
The enemy within
That I can’t defeat
The walls are closing in
Insomnia
The enemy within
That I can’t defeat
The walls are closing in
I used to turn on the TV but the images burn my eyes awake.
I used to read but the information gives me anxiety.
I can’t talk to anyone because all I hear is “blah blah blah.”
My cell phone doesn’t stop the constant buzzing and alerting.
I just want to go to sleep.
Put me to sleep!
Insomnia
The enemy within
That I can’t defeat
The walls are closing in
Insomnia
The enemy within
That I can’t defeat
The walls are closing in
Insomnia
Insomnia

Attachment Unavailable

Contact, try to penetrate
The haze surrounds your mind
Plugged in, oblivious
Can see but you are blind
Darkness of the outside world
Navigation systems broken
Hours spent with friends and family
Not a word has been spoken
Attachment unavailable
Connections out of range
New way of life is failing us
Relationships estranged

Insta, Tik-Tok
That’s your glory
Scrolling through the endless feed
Algorithms have you addicted
Thinking that the memes you see
Are free and unrestricted
Message, can’t be bothered to speak
Just send a GIF or some random catchphrase
Empty, feeling lost inside
Post a selfie to get some praise

Number 8
04:48
|
|||
A sacred symbol, infinity
An endless flow of energy
Fortune and fame, power and wealth
A constant desire to master oneself
Number 8
Yeah Number 8
Seeking perfection, the task is immense
Struggle to prove that the path is correct
Depression repressed, burdened with stress
No time to rest, keep chasing success
A number 8 will motivate
Hypocrisy, can’t tolerate
Some say it brings luck and fortune
Others say it’s cursed with hate and rage
Filled with great potential, it can go either way
Mysterious and powerful, Number 8
Too much of something will always be bad
Chasing perfection, a difficult plan
A laser focus to push toward the goal
Living in excess can take a big toll
Yeah Number 8
Number 8
Strive to be better, stronger than all
A program preloaded, I can’t uninstall
A tactical planner, be in control
Sacrifice everything, even your soul
A number 8 will motivate
Analyze and manipulate
Some say it brings luck and fortune
Others say it’s cursed with hate and rage
Filled with great potential, it can go either way
Mysterious and powerful, Number 8
I’m blind to the limits
Ignoring the rules
I know what I’m doing
I’m not in the mood
The world’s black and white
You know that I’m right
The prize is in sight
Use all of your might
Whatever it takes
Push until it breaks
Some say it brings luck and fortune
Others say it’s cursed with hate and rage
Filled with great potential, it can go either way
Mysterious and powerful, Number 8

With Wings Anew
07:16
|
|||
Times have changed
So have your thoughts, estranged
From ones that we love
When will it be enough?
Deep beneath
We know that it’s make-believe
They market deceit
A cycle on repeat
With wings anew, I soar above the clouds of smoke they’re blowing
I see right through the lies, now undisguised, no more controlling me
Trying to
Live my own life
But you only divide
Must stick to your side
Can’t agree
About anything, it’s fixed
Why can’t you see?
Don’t take the knee
With wings anew, I soar above the clouds of smoke they’re blowing
I see right through the lies, now undisguised, no more controlling me!
With or against
Doesn’t make any sense
The double talk
From talking heads
Dictated by the latest trends
It’s time to make amends
Reconnect with family and friends
Put the feuding to an end
If we stick together, we’ll transcend
Transcend this circus
With wings anew, I soar above the clouds of smoke they’re blowing
I see right through the lies, now undisguised, no more controlling me
With wings anew, I soar above the clouds of smoke they’re blowing
I’ll live my life the way that I see fit
I’ll keep on flying high
