01. Don't Tell Me What To Dream

Don't, Don't tell
Don't tell me what to dream

Why can't you feel this? All the misery and the pain
the self-neglect, the values...have driven me insane
Its time to remember, the reason that you were named
The gallant acts from which, from which we all came

Don't tell me what to dream. Don't tell me
I'd rather go it alone than stand next to you
Don't tell me. Don't tell me what to dream

Don't. Don't tell
Don't tell me what to dream

For what I survived, no stomach
For the lies you say and do...you say and do
Make no mistake I see what is here
The emptiness of your words comes alive
The facts are evident, your actions are clear

Don't tell me what to dream. Don't tell me
I'd rather go it alone than stand next to you
Don't tell me. Don't tell me what to dream

02. My Rebirth

Saviors and sinners, all gather around
A moment of silence
Failure and judgment, cast them aside
Open your mind

Choices made, you're on your own
Promises betrayed. The seeds are sown
Voices linger, repeat the truth
I've witnessed my rebirth. Ends. With. You.

Charlatan, false prophet, look at yourself
A moment of silence

I beg the universe to show me the way
I said I'd give it all, close my eyes and pray
Steal another day

Choices made, you're on your own
Promises betrayed. The seeds are sown.
Voices linger, repeat the truth.
I've witnessed my rebirth. Ends. With. You.

(God ends with you)
Don't waste another day
Don't let it slip away
God. Ends. With. You. God. Ends. With. You.
Don't waste another day
Don't let it slip away
Don't waste another day
Don't let it slip away

03. A Few Good Men

Cut off at the knees
Forced to suffer, beg, and plead
God help me in this time of need
Life is fragile, it's here and gone
The ones we use to love have all moved on

Waking to a rising sun, a new day has begun
Under this blue sky, we give it one more try

A few good men walk alone
Back into the breach we go. A few good men walk alone

Taking giant steps along the way
Turning my dreams into reality
Looking forward, but I can't step aside
Anonymous whispers will not die

Waking to a rising sun, a new day has begun
Under this blue sky, we give it one more try

A few good men walk alone
Back into the breach we go. A few good men walk alone.

Never, never, never
Go! Into the breach we go. A few good men walk alone
Into the breach we go. A few good men walk alone

04. Scraping The Walls

No sense of direction, my time is set
Will these feelings let me go?
Lost in the moments, caught in a world of madness
Pursue a vision, set your goal

I am scraping the walls again, making my way
And I am making my way. We all believe in a savior

A frameless picture, your sense of purpose.
Deliverance, free from doubt
Lost in the moment, caught in a world of madness
Pursue a vision, set your goal

And I am scraping the walls again, making my way
And I am making my way. We all believe in a savior

There's no time like now, caught in this moment
No sense of direction, my time is set
Step back and see the vision, a frameless picture
A sense of purpose
Deliverance, free from doubt
We all believe

No time like now, caught in this moment

And I am scraping the walls again, making my way
And I am making my way. We all believe in a savior
And I am scraping the walls again, making my way
And I am making my way. We all believe in a savior

05. Conquer

Why can't you see all the fury inside of me?
Why can't you see? Why can't you see it?

Alone with my thoughts as my mind begins to ponder
I see what we are, and the way were.
The lack of interest in my reality
A glimpse into my past, look towards the future.
The truth right before me
Standing, standing in a circle, in a circle of death all around me
My life exhumes an odor of survival

I want it all
As my world begins to crumble. The body starts to shake
Hoping everything will be ok
My sanity is fading. Lost within myself
Father...I will call to you, the depths to which we fall

In these changing times, loss of distinction is irrelevant
To a lasting existence

Let's go

I want it all
As my world begins to crumble. The body starts to shake
Hoping everything will be ok
My sanity is fading. Lost within myself
Father...I call to you, the depths to which we
The depths to which we fall, the depths to which we

06. Equilibrium

Freedom isn't free, the powers that be
Want to eliminate the choices for you and me
Our rights our liberties, a change is coming through
But the question is when will that be?

What would you say if I told you I knew?
Would you just run and hide or say it was true?
Tell me the truth
We lose equilibrium. Why must I feel that way?
Oh why must I feel that way?

What is going on, this deception at every turn?
My soul's in danger of the things I've done
My past transgressions, events balled into one

What would you say if I told you I knew?
Would you just run and hide or say it was true?
Tell me the truth
We lose equilibrium. Why must I feel that way?
Oh why must I feel that way?

It started so long, the path we follow
The steps that we take are never ending
Every time I see your face, I discover what I hate

Clarity is our own worst enemy

What would you say if I told you I knew?
Would you just run and hide or say it was true?
Tell me the truth
We lose equilibrium. Why must I feel that way?
Oh why must I feel that way?
Freedom isn't free
Why must I feel that way?
Freedom isn't free
Why must I feel that way?

07. Overcome

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not
Not ready to fall

No regrets, no dismay, nothing ventured and nothing gained
Never fear the storm of change, don't look back
I'm not ready to disappear. I won't go
Into the herd of forgotten sons
Seeds of doubt, sabotage with smiling faces

Tear down the walls and face your fears
And see what can become

Deception...infected thoughts to bring you down
Impossible...it's real, too real

Keep strong and realize
You have power..the power of one

Tear down the walls and face your fears
And see what can become
Th will, in your heart, will let you overcome

No regrets, no dismay, nothing ventured and nothing gained
Never fear the storm of change, don't look back
I'm not ready to fall...Fall...Fall...Fall

Tear down the walls and face your fears
And see what can become
The will, in your heart, will let you overcome

08. Cornered

Looking for my purpose day by day
This madness around me drives me insane
You call yourself a friend, but I just feel the pain
I want my freedom back..before I snap

Full of rage and disgust. Broken down into pieces
Flames in my gut. I can take no more

Fighting for my survival, my placement in this game
Throughout the passing years...I have seen a lot of change

Full of rage and disgust. Broken down into pieces
Flames in my gut. I can take no more
Painted into a corner. Confused and fatigued
The emptiness has me intrigued. I can take no more

Downtime, the search within yourself
The great escape, to know who you are
When no one is around you
Flames in my gut

Downtime, the search within yourself
The great escape

Full of rage and disgust. Broken down into pieces
Flames in my gut. I can take no more
Painted into a corner. Confused and fatigued
The emptiness has me intrigued. I can take no more

09. This Is Who I Am

We build this monument, there's only one more chance
I am the architect. We build these dreams
Something from nothing, again and again
This is unstoppable, this is unstoppable

Its how it always ends...I want to start again
Breaking down, but not within. Sometimes,
I'm overwhelmed by all I see
Broken Down, but never again.
My eyes are wide but forever, isn't faraway

I am the architect. We build these dreams
Something from nothing, again and again. This is unstoppable
Thank you for this day, one more chance to create

Its how it always ends...I want to start again
Breaking down, but not within.
Sometimes, I'm overwhelmed by all I see
Broken down, but never again
My eyes are wide but forever, isn't faraway

This is who I am. This is who I am
Destiny. I bend you to my will
Can't you see, its all part of me
This is who I am..I want to start again.

This is who I am...It's how it always ends
Destiny. I bend you to my will
Can't you see, it's all part of me
This is who I am...I want to start again

10. Move On

What was this choice? What was the choice you made?
What was the decision made?
How did you come to it? How has it affected?
And now what will you do?
What's in your brain? Answers given, words taken
What answers? Nothing is for certain
What was given to you, huh? But the one thing I know
What do you know huh? Tell me, what do you fucking know?

Torn apart but I'm still whole
(You've broken me from the inside out)
The blame is mine, but not alone
(I couldn't hate myself enough)

I never wanted to compromise, redefine the path in my life
See the malice behind your eyes, know the truth or desensitize
I can't let go! Down the drain I wander
Feel my pain mother fucker.

Lay your sins on me? I'll give it away
We all live again, we all live again
Now its time to move on. Set me free
We all live again, we all live again

My design will not be ignored. Refined...awakening
Witness the earth open up to you
Awakening
Why can't we live?

Finally , I'm coming to (The last drop from the hourglass)
Time to move on, time to move on
Move on...move on

I always wanted to overcome, become a man and never run
I see the light of the rising sun, this is my life, the only one
Make it so! Down the drain I conquer
Feel my pain you mother fucker

Lay your sins on me? I'll give it away
We all live again, we all live again
Now its time to move on. Set me free
We all live again, we all live again
Set me free
We all live again, we all live again

11. Pages

The night returns...they'll be no mystery
As the pages keep folding in time

To all those, to all those non-believers
Our path is lit for devastation
We will conquer deciders
The element of misguided authority

The night returns...they'll be no mystery
As the pages keep folding in time
The page is folding

A new day, a new day is upon us
Enlightenment
We will not submit to interrogation
Invasion of our privacy, no longer taken

We don't belong. We will not stand down
We can't let this go. We will not be forsaken

The night returns..they'll be no mystery
As the pages keep folding in time
The page is folding

As the pages keep folding us by

We don't belong. We can't let this go
We will not be forsaken. We will not be forsaken

The night returns..they'll be no mystery
As the pages keep folding in time
The night returns...they'll be no mystery
As the pages keep folding in time
The page is folding, the page is folding, yeah

12. Awakening

[Instrumental]

13. Where We Come From

Fire..this moment has arrived
Desire...take a look into my third eye

No one knows where life will lead us
Fate carries us up and down
Can't take it, can't trust, the words you uttered are busted
Broken, twisted, and bent but whole again

No time to rest. No time to wonder why
Walls closing in on all four sides
Where will this path lead? Realize what has been done
We must remember...where we all come from

Super elevated thoughts of you, thinking your words held the truth
My time and my patience has come and gone and been wasted
Force-fed your lies for far too long

No time to rest. No time to wonder why
Walls closing in on all four sides
Where will this path lead? Realize what has been done
We must remember...where we all come from

No time to rest, walls closing in
And will I die?

No time to rest. No time to wonder why
Walls closing in on all four sides
Where will this path lead? Realize what has been done
We must remember...where we all come from

Walls closing in on all four sides
