08 So Sick (of How I Feel)  - These Old Bones - This World of Mine

One day. One night. One breath. One life. Three faiths. One God to praise and trust. So what gives? What stays? What gifts have been thrown away? For all those who’ll stand tell me when will it end?

These crazy days of faith came to parody the love of those we trust through eternity. This effervescent change is disturbing me. I can’t go on I don’t belong. When this universal age stays beyond the dead they realize the strength they never had. The glory of the Saints stained by what is said. It’s hard to face these end of days.

Who cares? Who wins? Who’s will, will end? These wounds that bleed, resist in me.
What I’ve learned you’ll know. Deserve these perversions untold. For what chance is left that we will finally except?

These hazy days of faith came to remedy the love of those we trust in eternity. This effervescent change is another thing. It leads me on controls the storm. When this universal age stays beyond the norm. We realize the strength that we had before. The glory of the Saints we had once ignored they turn to face these end of days.

There’s love all around me. There’s love all around me. There’s love all around me. There’s love, love, love. There’s love all around me. There’s love all around me. There’s love all around me. There’s love, love, love. There is love.

One word. One light One tear. One crime. Three faiths. One mob to stray from God. But who’s right? Who’s wrong? Who kneels and who weathers the storm? Who stays?  Who tries? And who will lay down the fight?

These crazy days of faith came to parody the love of those we trust through eternity. This effervescent change is disturbing me. I can’t go on I don’t belong. When this universal age stays beyond the dead they realize the strength they never had. The glory of the Saints stained by what is said. It’s hard to face these end of days.

Oh ready to make it. Oh ready to face it. Oh ready to take it. Oh ready to make it on your own and escape this. Learn to erase it. Learn to embrace it on your own again

All I know. All I feel is gone. The world has come to fall. Salvation frees us all.

Unforgiven

09 Three Faiths

Words and Music by JOHN E. TUCKER

I’ve drained my soul. Contained my life.
I’m closing everything down and leave behind all these simple things that’s taking me to a place unknown.

You know this conversation has left me dark.
Enclosed in parody’s love. A Telltale heart. When there’s nowhere left to speak your mind you feel it drift away

When it’s over. Will we see it’s over? Will we finally be?

There’s a weight upon my soul that’s shaking my innocence. And a strain upon my mind that’s simply bringing me down. Should I wipe away the pain and let it wash over me? Am I ready to go alone? Am I ready to love ready to trust I want to..

It’s who we are and where we’ve been. We gave a little too much, embraced our sins. When we lost our way, we turned our sites into a great unknown.

When it’s over. Will we see it over? Will be ever be?

There’s a weight upon my soul that’s shaking my innocence. And a strain upon my mind that’s simply bringing me down. Gonna step away and let it all flow into another day. You know I’m ready to go alone. I’m ready to love ready to trust.

02 Shrug

Breaking free of the scene we have all come here together. And it is better to leave all our fears behind. Rising over the need to compete with one another. Until we’re ready to see, we’re the same design.

‘Cause we are born the same, sons and daughters, of that we can’t deny. Well it is time to see.

That it’s time to reach out and take in
what we don’t think, oh what would ever come again. And there is something. Oh no there’s something undivided when we break out and take down all that stands within our way now.

Recognizing the strength that has come into the moment. We’re ratifying the pain that we keep within. Contradicting the hate we’ve sustained, toxic and hopeless. Simply living estranged from the dark times ahead

Cause we are born the same, love and honor, and all that’s in between, oh well, it’s time to see.

That it’s time to reach out and take in what we don’t think, oh what would ever come again. And there is something, oh no there’s something undivided when we break out and take down all that stands within our way now.

Cause we are born the same, held together, in that we can’t deny.  Well it is time to see.

That it’s time to reach out and take in what we don’t think, oh what would ever come again. And there is something, oh no there’s something undivided when we break out and take down all that stands within our way

Well, it is time to see.

That it’s time to reach out and take in what we don’t think, oh what would ever come again. And there is something, oh no there’s something undivided when we break out and take down all that stands within our way now

It’s time to breakout. It’s time to break away, It’s time to live out, these dreams that seldom fade. It’s time to stand up. It’s time we take our place. It’s time to live now and learn to break away.

11 Breakout

That look in your eyes is telling me my life‘s about to change. Those words you had tried to say so long ago are now my pain.

Oh you never really loved the way I lived. And though we’ve grown apart, can’t we be friends? Don’t you ever think that everything is yours to blame. Oh, I think it’s time to walk away.

Oh here on my own I think about the things that I did wrong. If I had known the promises we lived would be withdrawn.

Oh I never would’ve said the things I did. I would’ve kept it all inside my head. If there’s nothing I can say to make you change your mind, oh I think it’s time to say goodbye. I think it’s time to say goodbye. Oh, I think it’s time.

All my life I’ve been trying to be what you want me to be. All my life I’m tired of giving when I never receive. All my life I’ve been wanting to say that all the love that I’ve been given isn’t shared or returned to me. Why?

You’re all I know. Come back to me. You’re all I know. Who lies between? You’re all I know. But not for me.

05 You’re All I Know

Blood rains across the sky. Someone always decides who will live to see the dawn when nothing’s left for us to carry on.

I’m letting go (4x)

Rain down, upon the land their solution to man. Who’s alive for all to know? That it takes a grave to make us whole.

I’m letting go (4x)

04 Letting Go

Words and Music by JOHN E. TUCKER

Can’t stand these voices in my head. 
Judge not the pain that clouds my mind. 
Deep down I know there’s nothing left. 
In this world I’ve left behind.  

And yet I know where life begins. 
I’m feeling it’s time to shed my skin. 
Nobody knows, oh what’s inside when they’ve all but closed their minds.

I’ve watched the days degrade my soul.
Foregone conclusions bleed me dry.
Can’t bear the future after all.
When I’m dead and tossed aside.

Oh here I am alone again. 
I’ve turned back the time to drown my sins.
Nobody knows just where I stand when their blood flows through my hands.

I can’t forgive.
No I wont forgive them anytime, anyway.
No you will not control my life.
You’re all a waste of time.
No I won’t surrender who I am, who I’ll love now.

Pent up emotions leave me cold.
The hate I feel consumes my life.
No other methods that I know oh will ever win this fight.
The time is now to make amends.
I’m facing it down, the pain I’m in.
Nobody knows where it ends, oh when a bran new life begins.

I wont forgive.
No I won’t surrender who I am, who I’ll love.
You’ve got some nerve to kill my vibe.
The strength of love decides.
Don’t you ever try to turn around, feelings I’ve lost.

01 Unforgiven

Here I am once again I’m living in sin and I don’t know why I pretend.
I’m ashamed to explain that I’m feeling no pain when the day is nearing its end.
Come away to complain that it’s always the same when I failed to follow behind. 
That it’s you, oh it’s you, that it’s You who knows where I’m going. 

Why have I denied the life you lead? How will I learn to let you rescue me? Where can I find the life that you provide? Who’ll let me in and show me when I’m alive?

I’m afraid my mistakes have made me ashamed to denounce these troubles again. What I need to complete this problem in me is a way to give what I am. 
A subtle way to display that I’m here to replace all the lies kept hidden within. That it’s you, oh it’s you, that it’s You who knows where I’m going.

07 I’m Alive

Words and Music by JOHN E. TUCKER

I’m lying here under a sign of my condition. I’m no longer willing to change. I refuse to be a tool that you use to make yourself feel right. In spite of my division the life that I’ve been living is leading me to turn you away. Could it be that what I’m needing Is everything I keep inside.

When it comes to forgetting the pain, will I learn to heed my emotions.
Will I know what it means to be saved from the wounds of those I’d loved along the way? And will I escape from the twisted mind of atonement; this twisted mind that I noticed long ago is holding me to reason that I’m the one they’re needing to blame.

I’m lying here wasting my time with my aggression I’m loathing every moment I stay. Still I can’t ever seam to be strong when the time is right. Malevolently repressing the state of my aggression, I’m pleading to the state of decay. That it’s me who really needs to appease who I am inside.

So when it comes to forgetting the pain will I learn to feel my emotions? Will I know what it means to be saved from the wounds of those I’d loved along the way? And will I escape from the twisted mind of atonement; this twisted mind that I noticed long ago is holding me to reason that I’m the one they’re needing to blame.

03 I’m the One

Hey. Just look around for a minute and tell me what do you see?
We’ve got kids running around with guns in gangs thinking that, you know, that no one can tough them.

You know what I’m saying? 

You see it’s like this.

If we could all just stop blindly following the herd, then maybe we could accomplish something. Like putting an end to this shit.

And we’ve got this mentality that if we don’t label someone as something then we are not politically correct. Well I say fuck that. We are all human beings made of flesh, blood, and bone, and if you can’t understand that, well, get a life.

You see it’s like this.
If we could all just accept each others differences, there’d be no room to hate or to fight or even to kill.

Just get a life.

You see it’s like this.
Just one man’s opinion.
That’s all.

06 If U

These are the things of days to come. No one accepts that all we’ve ever thought is quickly fading. Hold to the light that bleeds for us. Twisted fate. Born solutions. Nothings left but our conclusions. Who in the world will set us free?

Freedom is mine. Goodbye to forever and welcome to this place. Where life is the answer when truth remains unchanged. Until this one love is known by us all. We’ll stand here together to prove that we’ll be strong here alone. Oh we’ll be strong here, here alone. Oh we’ll be strong here alone. Oh we’ll be strong her alone. 

Goodbye…and welcome to this place.

10 Goodbye To Forever

Words and Music by JOHN E. TUCKER

Come down raising the dead. Lift us up by regret. Know no reason to why. Tear the flesh from the ones who opposed. You know that nothing survives when the pressures exposed.

Falling down through the heavens. They all come to question the one who is never explained. So obscene to abandon the lonely and the innocent. Use them all and throw them away.

Oh don’t you think that it’s time? Don’t you think that it’s time to abandon the fight and except what you see. (What you see). Oh, I think it’s a crime to deliver Your sign now that they’ve fallen to me.

Come down moments in time. Slip away through the light. Drifting over alone. Under siege they consider that peace to be an object of those who have lived by defeat. To escape they’ve accepted a waste of perspective that saves their obsessive display. Comprehend that together they almost always ever will be the only ones to escape.

Oh don’t you think that it’s time? Don’t you think that it’s time to abandon the fight and except what you see? (What you see). Oh, I think it’s a crime to deliver Your sign now that they’ve fallen to me.

Come down brothers decline what the system defines as a matter of all. There is one who will know what is right when the others evolve and show that they have arrived. Through a change they deliver a way to consider a place that is better than this. Still obscene to abandon the ones who know they’re innocent. Lift them up so they can resist.

Oh don’t you think that it’s time? Don’t you think that it’s time to abandon the fight and except what you see. (What you see). Oh, I think it’s a crime to deliver Your sign now that they’ve fallen to me.

Don’t you think that it’s time to abandon the fight and except what you see (What you see). Oh, I think it’s a crime to deliver Your sign now that they’ve fallen to me.

They’ve fallen to me. Oh, that they fallen to me. They fallen to me. Oh, don’t you know that they’ve fallen.
