Fear of the Unknown

Decently

[ When did she listen to the point
Which I was trying to make?
Assumptions cannot keep me going
When they are false and fake
I could not live up to the expectations
Of her ways
But that's okay, now that she's gone
She'll never see the change ] 

[ And I would write a letter
To tell her how I loved her
She never got the gesture
And that's why I must leave her behind ]

[ When did she listen to the point
Which I was trying to make?
Assumptions cannot keep me going
When they are false and fake
I could not live up to the expectations
Of her ways
But that's okay, now that she's gone
I bet she'll stay the same ] 

[ And I would send a message
Explaining why I loved her
What I thought was safe passage
Would rid me like the others ]

[ When did she listen to the point
Which I was trying to make?
These tantalizing lies will die in time
And face the grave
I could not live up to the torment
Of her sacred ways
Here lies assumptions that she made
'Cause now I've proven change ]

[ La da da da da
La da da da da
La da da da da
La da da da da ]

Here Lies Assumptions

[ I got a ghost on my shoulder in my home
He is the only reason I am not alone
What did I do to deserve this?
Was it even worth it?
I got a ghost on my shoulder in my home ]

[ I made a deal with the Devil in disguise
He said, "If you're gonna play your cards, you better play them right"
What did I do to get dealt this?
Has He ever felt this?
I made a deal with the Devil in disguise ]

[ Do you remember when life was so simple?
When the ocean would beckon to stay
Before deception infected the People
With His devilish, devious ways ]

[ I made a deal with the Devil
I couldn't see that He was right before my eyes
This demon's on another level
He stole my soul when I had lost what I can't find
My mind exploded with eruptions
Big enough to cover clouds up in the sky
'Cause I was young enough to love it
And relatively, I was dumb enough to try ]

[ I may be sinful, but I'm not evil
I'm just a man among the men of the people
I may be yearning, but I'm still learning
To feed the ghost on my shoulder that's still lurking
And what I find in the silver lining
Is that it's out of my control, it's just the timing
So what the crime in a silver lining?
I'm just unwinding ]

[ Do you remember when life was so simple?
When we would listen to Alice In Chains
Now we are destined to set an example
To never fold to His devious ways ]

[ I made a deal with the Devil
I couldn't see that He was right before my eyes
This demon's on another level
He stole my soul when I had lost what I can't find
My mind exploded with eruptions
Big enough to cover clouds up in the sky
'Cause I was young enough to love it
And relatively, I was dumb enough to try ]

Deal with the Devil

[ It was the truth that fell from your lips
And made its way down to your hips
I contemplated if it was a disguise
If we put our faces on, will we suffer?
Knowing now we're just like the others
What we hear is what we want to feel tonight
And what we exemplify ]

[ Oh, let's pop that comfort bubble
These tangible feelings
Are not quite real enough to realize
That the path of resistance
If it's consistent
Won't extinguish
The fire in our eyes ]

[ It was the words that slipped off your tongue like
"Nothing's wrong, let's just have a good time"
How can I when we've already fought tonight?
You can call me one to stick to a grudge
But I'm no judge, the sentence is up
I've done my time and left my comfort behind
And the feeling is amplified ]

[ By your love
By your lies
By your desertion
By your disguise ]

[ Oh, let's pop that comfort bubble
These tangible feelings
Are not quite real enough to realize
That the path of resistance
If it's consistent
Won't extinguish
The fire in our eyes ]

[ And now I know
That if we put our minds to it
With nothing else to lose
We can lay low
And try to grow
All on our own
And take the paths less traveled
Even if we stumble down that road
We will find our way back home ] 

[ Oh, let's pop that comfort bubble
These chemical feelings
Are not quite real enough to realize
That the path of resistance
If it's consistent
Would you be with it?
Don't let the spirit die ]

[ So with the punches, I will roll
And though it might bring trouble
Disaster, then rubble
I will go
And find my way back home ]

Path of Resistance

Blood Moon

The Unknowing

Fear of the B-Sides

Last Pursuit

[ It's opening time
Seal your heart to mine
I want to feel configurations
Of an open-heart sensation
So swim in my eyes
Drown in silent cries
My curious condition
Is close enough to listen to your sighs ] 

[ If it's love, when will it decay?
Is it love, or an open grave?
Exposed to fate
An open grave, with a red-stained frame ] 

[ If it's love, when will it decay?
Is it love, or an open grave?
Exposed to fate
Words got in the way
But actions told us to stay
Now here we lay
In an open grave ]

Open Grave

[ If what you hear is what you fear
There ain't no coming back
Your cognitive dissonance
Prevents you from listening
If what you hear is what you fear
There ain't no coming back
Your cognitive dissonance
Prevents you from listening ]

[ Contradictions
They live inside your head
Staunch convictions
Must be put to rest ]

[ If what you hear is what you fear
Don't ever make a sound
The silence must be deafening
When someone else does the talking
If what you hear is what you fear
Don't ever make a sound
Your cognitive dissonance
It complements your ignorance ] 

[ Mother Nature
Comes to collect her debt
Your religion
Seems to have overstepped
Repent ] 

[ If what you hear is what you fear
There ain't no coming back
Your cognitive dissonance
Prevents you from listening
If what you hear is what you fear
There ain't no coming back
Your cognitive dissonance
It complements your ignorance ]

Cognitive Dissonance

[ Answering the shadow's call
Before I've gone and lost it all
I write my name across the wall
Cast a light upon my throne
You won't find me casting stones
I'm to blame for what I know ] 

[ 'Cause I would die for you
I would lie for you
But I won't change for you
I'm here to face the truth
When nostalgia takes control
And I'm held accountable
For repeating all my faults
I will take the fall ] 

[ Answering the shadow's call
Before I've gone and lost it all
I write my name across the wall
Cast a light upon my throne
You won't find me casting stones
I'm to blame for what I know ] 

[ Wake up and smell the ashes
Falling from my throne
Burning down to bone
Suffering for lust
I had my reservations
but I never thought to try
To snuff the candlelight
So I will take the fall
I will take the fall 
I will take the fall ] 

[ Answering the shadow's call
Before I've gone and lost it all
I write my name across the wall, oh
A knock, I do fear
Means judgement is here
The Garden of Eden never seemed so clear
A king with no crown
Through ups and the down
Thought we had it all
'Till you let me take the fall ]

[ Like a moth to a flame
A knife to my veins
Thought we had it all
But you let me take the fall ]

The Fall

[ All I've got to say
Is that I miss the days when we were young
All I've got to say
Is that I miss the days when we were young ]

[ Remember when this "charming" man
Took you for a ride
He gave you a window 
Into his so-called life
You only saw a mirror
Because you saw yourself in him
If the image was much clearer
Maybe then you'd understand ]

[ That all I've got to say
Is that I miss the days when we were young
All I've got to say
Is that I miss the days when we were young ]

[ I wish a had a photo
For every memory
Even the bad ones
'Cause they make me who I want to be
If I don't let trauma
Inspire me to write
Then it happened in vain
And will haunt me 'till I die ]

[ All I've got to say
Is that I miss the days when we were young
All I've got to say (I've got to say)
Is that I miss the days when we were young (I miss those days, I miss those days) ]

[ I've got to say
I miss those days
I miss those days ]

[ All I've got to say
Is that I miss the days when we were young
All I've got to say
Is that I miss the days when we were young
I miss those days
I miss those days ]

When We Were Young

[ The falling of the night
To dawning of the light
I went for a ride out in the Elfin Forest
Thinking I could write
With misty eyes of white
And it'd all be fine by the time I reached the chorus ]

[ In the evergreens
I hung my youthfulness
I was waiting for one last caress ]

[ San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home
San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home ]

[ The rising of the tide
When my hands were tied
Made sure I'd be fine even when I thought I'd lost it
Swami's Cafe
Down to Mission Bay
Oh, the county line tried to get me not to cross it ] 

[ But even when I moved to Orange
I could never forget what came before it ]

[ San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home
San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You'll always be my home ]

[ San Marcos
San Marcos
You'll always be my home
San Marcos
Oh, San Marcos
You're always in my soul
Oh ]

San Marcos

Dawn of the Blood Moon (Interlude)

[ I've told myself
That I will roll with the punches
But how many punches
Can a single man take?
Before he bends and breaks
Before he's lost his grace
To all the same mistakes
On the path of resistance ]

Pathfinder (Interlude)

[ They don't want you to see
The lies behind their fake hospitality
Innocence was a commodity 
The promises sold told us we would become free ]

[ That's why I walk the line, I walk the line
The dividing line, of defining times
I walk the line, I walk the line
Our deafening cries, they defy their lies
So one more time, I’ll walk the line ]

[ What a joke that we were sold
A silver spoon - they shoved it down our throats
When we were fed, the handle broke 
Now a dose of false hope festers through our homes ]

[ That's why I walk the line, I walk the line
The dividing line, of defining times
I walk the line, I walk the line
Our deafening cries, they defy their lies
So one more time, I’ll walk the line ]

[ If you bite the hand that feeds you well
You'll have to find new ways to feed yourself 
Let the animal thrive out of its shell 
And walk between the lines of the life you're dealt
If you bite the hand that reaches out
You'll have to find new ways of breaking down 
Let the animal thrive out of its cage 
And navigate the lines that become depraved
If you bite the hand that feeds you well
You'll have to find new ways to feed yourself 
Let the animal thrive out of its home 
And build a house of cards that'll free your soul ]

[ That's why I walk the line
The dividing line, of defining times
I walk the line, I walk the line
Our deafening cries, they defy their lies ]
