CannonBall
You look at me, what do you see
Another long haired looser entity
But you don’t know what’s in my soul
Too busy passing judgment and gaining foes
Ready my Cannonball, teardown your castle wall
Shots Fired! Shots Fired!
You look around and always down
But you never see your losing ground
A dying breed, a poison seed
Another act of hypocrisy
Ready my Cannonball, teardown your castle wall
Shots Fired! Shots Fired! Shots Fired!
Load my guns, you’re going down
Tear a hole right through your bow
Ready my Cannonball, teardown your castle wall
Shots Fired! Shots Fired!
Your going down down down down down
Your going down down down down down
Your going down down down down down

The Truth

The Truth
It’s in your head, this fucked up world you sell yourself. Such a grand illusion
Seems you’ve built yourself a happy shell of pure delusion
Here we are standing face to face but not eye to eye
All in all one of us is fake, and one is blind
Make believe is for the young. Lick the wound when you are stung.
Find your feet or you will drown. The truth will be your high ground
It’s in your hand but slipping through your weary fist. Like sand through fingers.
Seems the more you fight the more it slips, and only lies will linger.
Here we are spinning round and round, upsetting balance.
All in all never gaining ground, retaining malice.
Make believe is for the young. Lick the wound when you are stung.
Find your feet or you will drown. The truth will be your high ground.
We hunt … we kill … we feast … we feed the beast!
So hunt … and kill … and feast … become the beast YEAH!
Here we are slamming open doors, and building walls.
All in all we are both the same and mostly false.
Make believe is for the young, Lick the wound when you are stung.
Find your feet or you will drown. The truth will be your high ground.

The Avarice
Nothing is sacred – Throw it away !
Skin will be shed – Reveal the snake !
The cold grip wraps around you, your breathe comes short and quick
More useless things surround you but you will never quit
As the Avarice descends upon you It will speak but you’ll never hear the truth
Wanting all but all will not suffice, no relief ‘til the Avarice dies !
Everything’s wasted piled up high
Poison the water – black out the sky!
So quick to overtake you with ease you give control
What’s life without the hunger – you’ll surely never know
As the Avarice descends upon you It will speak but you’ll never hear the truth
Wanting all but all will not suffice, no relief ‘til the Avarice dies !
Never see – Never be satisfied with the blood that comes from me
Inside all has died, just a shell and barely justified
As the Avarice descends upon you It will speak but you’ll never hear the truth
Wanting all but all will not suffice, no relief ‘til the Avarice dies !
As the Avarice descends upon you It will speak but you’ll never hear the truth
Wanting all but all will not suffice, no relief ‘til the Avarice dies !

One More Reason
Burning and steaming you boil away… it takes over your mind
When living and dying they seem the same
Yeah It’s time for a change, It’s time for a change, it’s time
And the river will pull you down …though it seems you swim for
days and days and days
One more reason to crawl inside one more reason to hate
One more day will pass you by - how much time do you have to waste ?
Twisting the meaning and feeding the rage … can you see through the disguise?
You’re running you’re hiding your locking the cage
But they always escape, they always escape in time
And the hounds will hunt you down
Though it seems you run for days, and days and days
One more reason to crawl inside one more reason to hate
One more time that you cross the line - how much time do you have to waste ?
If you bow to this oppression one more plight will be ignored, ignored
One more reason to crawl inside one more reason to hate
One more day will pass you by - how much time do you have?
One more reason to crawl inside one more reason to hate
One more time that you cross the line - how much time do you have to waste?

Words on a Stone
My father left this world too soon too suddenly
In loving memory – three words all that remain
Alive inside my head but my time will surely end
What be left of him when all my days are spent
Weeping I reach down to the cold ground but the pain is slow to fade
So much more than just words on a stone six feet above his weathered bones
He was so much more than just words on a stone
My mother walks the world with eyes shining bright
One day her memory will wake me in the night
We are but mortal souls our days are precious few
Into the void we’ll fall and slowly fade from view
Weeping I will reach down but the cold ground will be all my fingers find
So much more than just words on a stone six feet above her weathered bones
She is so much more than just words on a stone
My son will walk the world long after I am gone
A small piece of what I am is all that will go on
It burns inside my mind it drives me every day, I won’t fade away
So much more than just words on a stone six feet above my weathered bones
I am so much more than just words on a stone
I will be more than just words on a stone six feet above my weathered bones
I am so much more than just words on a stone

Flight of the Killing Bird
He’s standing tall looking down at the world one step from the point of no return
Arms wide embracing all that’s absurd, so begins the flight of the killing bird
Send the ravens to fill the sky and block out the rays of light
The defenders of all that’s right, the good will prevail!
He’s souring high looking down on the world, one step past the point of no return
Arms wide descending fast on the earth, Can’t stop the flight of the killing bird
Send the ravens to fill the sky and block out the rays of light
The defenders of all that’s right, the good will prevail!
(Private if you don’t get your ass off this chopper I will shoot you myself)
The wind beats hard against his face thin cloth is no shelter from the sting
The ground draws near his heart will race, no rest for the bringer of pain
He stands his ground looking out at the world one CRACK and his chest begins to burn
This light fades fast as fate takes a turn so ends the flight of the killing bird
Send the ravens to fill the sky and block out the rays of light
The defenders of all that’s right, the good will prevail
He’s all part of the grand design so they send him away to fight
There’s no cure for a wounded mind but the good will prevail !

Too Far Gone
This twist of fate seems unfair to you, but you don’t get to decide
From your mouth spills half of the truth wrapped up in ribbons of lies
Just can’t leave it alone, seems like there’s nobody home
Too far gone, Your Too Far Gone, Too far gone, Your Too Far Gone
Although you preach you’re unwilling to do
You always push it aside
When you’re in need you’re the first to consume
The pleas of others denied
Just won’t leave it alone, no, no, no! Seems like there’s nobody home
Too far gone, Your Too Far Gone, Too far gone, Your Too Far Gone
What do you see ? What’ll you be?
Where will you flea when you walls come crashin ?
Open your mind what’ll you find ? Maybe your blind, maybe it’s in fashion
Close your eyes when you look inside you will find, Fall in line and you never question
It’s in your brain you’ll never change, just a slave
Turn away from the mere suggestion
Too far gone, we’reToo Far Gone, Too far gone, we’re Too Far Gone!

Crawling Skin

Crawling Skin
I took a walk into the shadows, the wind whispering secrets in my ears
And as the night falls I am hollow, the rain brings a pain beyond my years
Can’t help but feel I’m being followed
The silence stalks me and preys upon my darkest dreams – AND IT TAUNTS ME
With a hollow promise of abolished sins, To be freed forever from my crawling skin
Although I yearn for absolution my actions scream what words will try to hide
What will it take to break the cycle, what will it take to snuf the voice inside – AND IT HAUNTS ME
Like a hollow promise of abolished sins, To be freed forever from my crawling skin
Is this living ? Or Deceiving ? Disbelieving all I’ve longed for
No giving or receiving, joy is fleeting and death knocks down my door
All the lying, denying, blindsiding, asking more and more
Relying on retrying, what’s dying when there’s nothing to live for
(what’s dying when there’s nothing to live for)
Once more I wade into the shallows, the rising tide creeps up to steal my breathe
Can’t help but feel I’m being swallowed, the jaws of time will yawn upon my death
AND IT BREAKS ME
With a hollow promise of abolished sins, To be freed forever from my crawling skin
I deserve this torture and the pain within, to be ripped forever from my crawling skin

Feed the Hunger

Feed the Hunger
It tries to hide deep inside refusing to be denied
Lit or burned out it all comes down to whether it’s freed or bound
We breed the demons we feed everyday so throw your next meal wisely
We feel the words that we steal all the same so choose your next phrase wisely
Don’t feed the hunger and it will wither away
It only grows stronger if it’s given a say
There’s a line between what’s ripe or rotting on the vine
What feeds the spark of a flaming heart can render it cold and dark
We kneel under the cold steel of the blade so choose your next strike wisely
RISE UP ‘cause it’s not enough to be slain so choose your gravestone wisely
Don’t feed the hunger and it will wither away
It only grows stronger if it’s given a say
We’re all given one life wrong or right, and nothing is black or white
All we can do is learn to choose which side will win or loose
We breed the demons we feed everyday so throw your next meal wisely
RISE UP ‘cause it’s not enough to be slain so choose your gravestone wisely
Don’t feed the hunger and it will wither away
It only grows stronger if it’s given a say

Just Yesterday
All the days I spent burying my face and the paths I walked in vain
Left me screaming out in pain – how could it turn out this way ?
When just yesterday I was certain of what I was
But then you told me that all we had was lost
Just yesterday I thought that I knew the way, but that was just yesterday
It was you that I poured myself into thinking all we had was true
But you yearned for something new – Tell me what more could I do?
When just yesterday I was holding my head up high
But then you showed me that all we had was a lie
And just yesterday I thought that I held the flame, but that was just yesterday
Aint it funny how things work out in the end. I was broken, now I’m starting to mend
And the only one who is sorry is you. I am much stronger now than the man you once knew
You were blind now it burns inside your mind how I left you far behind
Moving forward with my life and you can’t go back in time
To just yesterday when I walked out and slammed the door
And without you I became so much more
Just yesterday I felt I had lost my way but that was just yesterday
Yeah, that was just yesterday

Unbroken
You may think you bring the hammer with a fist full of coffin nails
You may prophecies my downfall but I won’t be the one that fails
All the bonds broken, all the bridges smokin’
All the lies choken down, burning down, broken down WON’T BREAK ME
I just may be stronger than you realize
An underestimated foe
Amidst the dust and rubble I’ll stand, uncompromised
Much more than you bargained for
All the bonds broken, all the bridges smokin’
All the lies choken down, burning down, broken down WON’T BREAK ME
WON”T BREAK ME WON”T BREAK ME
WON”T BREAK ME WON”T BREAK ME
Through your teeth you his your self-righteous words at me
WON”T BREAK ME WON”T BREAK ME WON”T BREAK ME
Through your eyes you cast your sideways glance constantly
WON”T BREAK ME WON”T BREAK ME WON”T BREAK ME
All the bonds broken, all the bridges smokin’
All the lies choken down … WON”T BREAK ME
All the bonds broken, all the bridges smokin’
All the lies choken down, burning down, broken down WON’T BREAK ME
