LYRICS:

VS1: I got the hint of some desperation
     Subtle the signs that you knew you could wait
     Your eyes are twitching like there's no hesitation
     To seek the sentiment that colors your fate

CH: It was your time to be telling the truth but there was
       Some kind of story that you had all along
       You hid the message in the words that you sang
       On the night that you dreamed of the impossible song

VS2: They see these times as the thing that will last
I've got the mojo when I'm making it mine
Just look how quickly we are losing our past
We get so lucky that we start to unwind  CH:

VS3: You say you know that there's nobody home
I get the feeling that you're never alone
You say you wander in an effort to be
Somehow free from the pain   CH:

The Impossible Song

LYRICS:

V1: In the silence of the mind
You will not seek what you won't find
It's time to leave these things behind 
In the past where they belong
Make it last, keep going strong

V2: Rectify your inner fears
Dry the source of all your tears
Feel like something is behind you and it's chasing you 
Towards the answer don't you love the dancer

CH: Dancing on the wind, feeling out the tides
Reaching for the sun to shine where everything collides
Are we having fun or just avoiding the abyss?
Cause we can't go on going on like this.

V3: Someday you will walk alone
The life behind you set in stone
Some things you cannot leave behind
They will devour you in time
Until you leave this world behind 
And find another where you're CH:

BR: Funny that the things that hold us back 
Come down to choices that we made
To forget that we are brave     SOLO: 

CH: Dancing on the wind, feeling out the tides
Reaching for the sun to shine where everything collides
Are we having fun or just avoiding the abyss?
Cause we can't go on going on like this.

The Abyss

LYRICS:

V1: I made it my own in a free way
      The gift remained in hiding again
      Even odds on your destiny
      Rupture the mainline, feed in the plans for me and then

CH:  We can't win the battle but we can win the war
        Two of us matter when we know what it's for
        But we are divided inside it; we tried it again in vain

V2: We faded in time, an avoidable doom
     Accelerated by an abject disdain in your heart
     A technical term for the resentment you displayed
     It's been in the tone of your voice from the start  CH:
     
V3: Surrendered to fate, we flowed with the tide
       As free as a bird on a skeleton ride
       Ghost of the past, death marches on
       One minute you're here and the next you are gone 

CH:  We can't win the battle but we can win the war
        Two of us matter when we know what it's for
        But we are divided inside it; we tried it again in vain

Words and music by Robbie Gennet

In Vain

LYRICS:

V1: What good was it to go and reason with a fool?
       You lost control of all you had to hide
     Circular motion of the obstacles before us tend to
     Center them in stasis while they kill us all in phases

CH: Remember half of the time there is a thing you do
       That tends to undermine your life in insidious ways
       The problem is you're apathetic to the cause 
The symptoms give me pause while I fumble for my lighter
To spark the flame of justice while the tourniquet gets tighter
 
V2: The pressure's cooking when you're high on astral planes 
       Cold chilling sentiments, got ice inside my veins
      Intrinsic function of the system hit the nerve 
Balancing the motion; bets are off you make the curve  CH:

BR:   Undertake the mission, centering the mind
         Quest for retribution in the one place you can't find

CH: Remember half of the time there is a thing you do
       That tends to undermine your life in insidious ways
       The problem is you're apathetic to the cause 
The symptoms give me pause while I fumble for my lighter
To spark the flame of justice while the tourniquet gets tighter

Tourniquet

LYRICS:

V1: Follow the sound of the lost brigade 
      In the woods by the double cross
      Pull the pin of the hand grenade- what a loss
      Nobody knows how deep it goes 
      Until they follow it to the root
      Aim fast so you know just where to shoot 

       CHORUS:  
     Kill the source of your discontent       
     In the hole where your future went to die
     On the eve of your accident
     You reflect this vision in your eye
     But it's hopeless in the end because you cannot be my friend
                                (to pretend)

V2: In the realm of the overlord there's a beating of the drums
Pull the sword to protect against whatever comes
Nobody sees so carefully until they notice what's going wrong
The focus of the eye will make you strong  

       CHORUS:  
     Kill the source of your discontent       
     In the hole where your future went to die
     On the eve of your accident
     You reflect this vision in your eye
     But it's hopeless to pretend because you cannot be my friend

BR: Say 'come on let's go'; it's the end of the show
       Maybe it wasn't the ticket you bought
       It just wasn't what you thought

   CHORUS:  
     Kill the source of your discontent       
     In the hole where your future went to die
     On the eve of your accident
     You reflect this vision in your eye
     But it's hopeless to pretend because you cannot be my friend

You cannot be my friend

My Friend

LYRICS:

VS1: I never said it wasn't right, I tried to make it better
I swam against the tide
Inside of hoping I was wrong came the words to make this song
Somehow fitting for the ride

CH: Maybe you were hoping for a change
Maybe there was something you should know
Stand upon the edge and wipe your face 
Occupy your space and let the life behind you go

V2: I never said I was a fool, I never played the part
I wondered if you knew
Behind the madness there's a calm ensconced within a bomb
Maintained and built by you CH:

BR: And what do you know sometimes it rains 
Just when you think that the sun will shine
For you it happens all the time
And what do you do when you complain
Is it your failure to explain it to yourself

V3: What is the longing in your brain that leads you to the truth
The one that you deny?
You want to run but you can't hide from what is deep inside
And so you never try  

CH: Maybe you were hoping for a change
Maybe there was something you should know
Stand upon the edge and wipe your face 
Occupy your space and let the life behind you go

Occupy

LYRICS

CHORUS:
I don't know what to say
I don't know why we play this game 
I don't know what to say anymore
This is madness to repeat
I don't know where we go
I don't know why we stay
It's just the easiest thing to do 
When we know we cannot go this way

V1: Trying to see if we make the break complete
       Untying the chains tangled round our feet
       It's never the choice until 
       You're drowning and you just need to breathe   CH:

V2: Trying to see who we are and what we're not
       Been chasing a dream until it died on the spot
       It's never too late until 
       You're dying and you can't seem to breathe    

CHORUS:
I don't know what to say
I don't know why we play this game 
I don't know what to say anymore
This is madness to repeat
I don't know where we go
I don't know why we stay
It's just the easiest thing to do 
When we know we cannot go this way

This Way

LYRICS:

V1: No one to hold, no one to walk with down the road
No one to tell about the cold dreams that you had
I could have told you everything you need to know
But the reason I had to go is that I couldn't cry for 

CH: The lost years, the centuries, eons, eternities 
        The fantasy of getting back the years we burned away
The lost years weren't meant to be a part of us eternally
I lost before I found the answer
Stop the fight cause love's a dancer

V2: No one to feel, no one to sit with by the fire
No one is real when you need something to believe
You could have said the words to change the course but no
The reason you had to go is that you couldn't wait for the  CH;

BR:    Maybe you couldn't find a piece of your own damn mind
          Gave it away or maybe you left it all behind, yea

CH: The lost years, the centuries, eons, eternities 
        The fantasy of getting back the years we burned away
The lost years weren't meant to be a part of us eternally
I lost before I found the answer
Stop the fight cause love's a dancer

The Lost Years

LYRICS:

VS1: All of the times that we showed love
Weren’t enough to make a change
There doesn't have to be a reason
There doesn't have to be a way

VS2: All the ways that we shared love
Weren't enough to make you see
There doesn't have to be a reason
There doesn't have to be for me

CH: Why does it always seem it starts to fade?
       Why does it always seem to fade away?

VS3: All the space we grew apart, love
We didn't make it through the night
There doesn't have to be a reason
And nothing has to make it right CH:

BR: Solitary time gives perspective to the mind
Everything you seek is in the one place you will find
So find it

SOLO:

CH: Why does it always seem it starts to fade?
       Why does it always seem to fade away?

Words and music by Robbie Gennet

Fadeaway

LYRICS:

V1: What do you do when you're awake in the dead of night?
      Do you fake the dream, do you punch the clock 
      Do you seek the light?
      Do the cowards sneer with their words of hate?
      Do you feed your fears or is it much too late?
 
V2: What do you think when you're asleep in the light of day?
      Do you fake the smile, do you clench your teeth
      Do you feel ok?
      Do the bullies scream with their tongues of hate?
      Do you beat them back or is it much too late?
      Every time you tend to shy away from the tension

CH:      The sinister welcome, the terrible wave
            Your own execution, digging your grave
            The wheel is turning, the pressure's tight
            Your own salvation's alive in the moonless night

V3: What do you do when you can't run and you have to face
       The deepest fears you hold inside in a sacred place
       Do the liars smile with a hidden pain?
       Do you let them in to infect your brain?
       Every time you try to hide away from the truth  CH: 

BR: Isn't it lonely in the hole you dug yourself?
