"Manifestations"
Here we go again and again and again unleashing
Undeniably maniacal manifestations of sin from within
As I stare and smile with this skinless grin
This demon deep, inside of me, excitedly invites you in
Burn

"Thus Far"
All my life I've been held back, shown the path yet remained in chains
But tonight's my night, I've risen through the black and broken free of all your reigns
Cuz all my life I've been restrained, led astray from my own ways
At next moonlight awaits a change, for the rising sun brings better days
I dug my own grave, unknowingly, put both feet towards my defeat
But since filled it, with all of the dirt inside of me, dug from my personality
Bring forth the days ahead of me- with open arms and clarity
Embracing life ahead of me with an open mind and certainty
Awaiting new found memories, hopeful, at peace and worry free
Don't chain the beast, just let it be and manifest positivity
Who are you to tell me what I'm doing isn't right
And who are you to tell me I don't have a home tonight
I don't have a home tonight
Who are you to tell me I'm doing everything all wrong
I can see right through you and the shattered glass throne you're on
Who were you to tell me what I'm doing isn't right
And who were you to tell me I didn't have a home that night
Fuck you! Who even are you? And who am I
I just want to curl up and cry for a while
Sit up, smile, dry my eyes and reconcile
Inside my mind and fight the urge to die... cuz its not worthwhile
Who are you to tell me who to be... now
Cuz all my life I've been held back... fuck that
Because tonight's my night and I've risen up through the black
And broken free of all your fucking reigns

"Introspection in Retrospect"
Have you ever seen your own face in your head when you close your eyes
And in that moment, are you closer to death than you are to life
I used to close my eyes and I'd see the future, but now its just a dream that I've awakened from
Now when I close my eyes, all I see is my past but not quite what i thought I was escaping from
No
Did I choose the right path? Did I take the wrong road and run
I know I cant take anything back, and I know I have a long way to come
Now... and I can barely keep my head above water, and I can barely keep in touch with my family
Cuz we're all just sheep bred for the slaughter
What's inside doesn't matter anymore, we're just all skin and meat
No individual matters to this system
Though we're all different, conditions we live in, they mimic prisons
We conform to the same times and we all walk the same lines! And we're all in for life
We're all in for life, few dream of escape
They say there's so much at stake and that your life is a waste if you step out of place
And that your mistakes truly make you who you are
And that you're a disgrace if you mother your scars, or let them influence you to build towards a newer you
Cuz they just want to ruin you, reinforce the bars and kill the muse in you!
They're just using you to get what they want
Cuz we're pawns on this fucked up chessboard that we're on
They're just using you to get what they want
Cuz we're pawns on this fucked up chessboard that we're on
And if you make a wrong move - And you know it
And there's no turning back and they react and they show it
By turning their backs on the seeds still growing
But there's no pact they could take to make the rain stop flowing
So we'll rise up from the ground with our newfound powers
Cuz they could never drown the most resilient flowers
Or look down on those who embrace rain showers
Cuz when they flow we will grow and shadow you like towers
And now I know this. I'm really fucking glad that I wrote this
Sometimes it's hard to focus.. on the light, and you provoked this
Sometimes its hard to focus.. on the light.. Yeah
And now I know this! And I'm really fucking glad that I wrote this
Cuz sometimes it's hard to focus, on the light

"Resurface"
Here I stand at the top of the world! Moving mountains with my voice
Structures crumble, and oceans rise as, as I welcome my own demise
With too much strength for my own good, and armed with a heart of gold that rots
Just like wood.
Cuz there's so much pain for me to bear
And you wonder why I'm never there..Why I'm never
As you ask me why I never listen, and lose yourself in reminiscence
if you provide the right ambitions, I'll provide the right assistance
But tread too far with false persistence, and you lose touch with your existence. For as we cry towards the empty sky, you're losing touch with whats inside
Now deep inside your mind I'll fucking pry, to resurface who you are and fucking why
Go
Cuz there comes one time in one's whole life, when all that counts is what is fucking real and so
So tonight we'll fucking reconcile with
With ourselves and how we fucking feel
Get low
And if you don't understand where these words are coming from
Have some self respect
Believe in someone

"Convalesce & Progress"
Maybe just maybe, for once you were right
I can't see through the mist
I only see in black and white
I can't see a difference
Between the sky and the ground and
You've heard nothing more beautiful than a silent sound and
Maybe just maybe, for once I was wrong
I've sung my own song for far too fucking long
But still I carry on
Maybe just maybe for once you were right
I cant see through the mist I see in black and white
I cant see a fucking difference between the sky and ground
and you've heard nothing more beautiful than a silent sound
maybe just maybe for once I was wrong
I have sung my own song for far too fucking long
Far too fucking long
Forgotten the words, but still I sing on
Forgotten the words, but still I sing on
Forgotten the words, but still I sing on
Still I carry on
Maybe just maybe, I will find myself a new voice
And you'll realize that there lies beauty in heartbroken noise
I will see vivid detail in the fucking sky and of the ground
And you will hear nothing more beautiful than a rekindled sound
This rekindled sound
