Call off the dogs
I'm not gonna run
If I wanted to leave
It would have been done
So just put down the knife and we'll talk
We'll have a conversation
But don't get the wrong idea because
this is not a negotiation
There's nothing left for me to prove
And nothing more that you can do
Humanity can be improved
But you won't like the path I choose
But you don't understand
We don't have to agree
'Cause while you stumble in the dark
I'm hitting targets no one else can see
So no more hiding now
and I promise no more tricks
Just know you're not the captain here
and this ain't your goddamn ship
I won't make an apology
and I won't make an excuse
Because I've come too far to turn back now
And I've come too far to lose
So with your hands clasped in desperation
or as you call it "prayer"
Cry out, beg forgiveness
but we both see there's no one there

Nothing I Can Do
03:14
|

Don't tell me life is short
When it keeps dragging on and on
I can't believe it
when today's been so damn long
and I know
I said I wouldn't break
but that was just a little lie
Only cause it seemed like it'd be so much work to die
I'd walk a million miles
I'd journey for so long
Just to look you in the eye
and tell you that you're wrong
No need to meet my doom
I think I know it well
We keep our distance now
but tomorrow who could tell
and I don't need time to think about it
I'm already through
I'd be more afraid if there was something I could do
But there's not
I need to find the strength
So I can carry this thing through
and stop the second I begin to sound like you
cause I know
As hard as you may say it
and as much as you may try
even if we all believe
that shit's not gonna fly
No devil to make you do it
There no god to see you through it
No stars to make your dreams come true
No one to blame, there's only you
No need to meet my doom
I think I know it well
We keep our distance now
but tomorrow who could tell
and I don't need time to think about it
I'm already through
I'd be more afraid if there was something I could do
But there's not

You Will Be Forgotten
04:12
|

Look
and you'll see a sign
all the stars align
but it doesn't mean a thing
Nothing's different now
In your head somehow
the stars all shine for you until
All your dreams have been blown to pieces
And your empire's been pulled apart for scraps
All your wishes are scattered ashes
and your ambitions are even less than
that voice deep inside that tells you to deny
there's nothing you can do
and you will be forgotten too
No!
You'll say never me
How could this be?
I'm the hero of this scene
But you understand
it's just a part of the plan
so just let it be until
All your dreams have been blown to pieces
And your empire's been pulled apart for scraps
All your wishes are scattered ashes
and your ambitions are even less than
that voice deep inside that tells you to deny
there's nothing you can do
and you will be forgotten
Too late to bail out now
The ship has fallen too far down
Head long towards a cliche
but you got too old to die young anyway
And now you'll be forgotten too
All your dreams have been blown to pieces
And your empire's been pulled apart for scraps
All your wishes are scattered ashes
and your ambitions are even less than
that voice deep inside that tells you to deny
there's nothing you can do
and you will be forgotten

Quit
04:10
|

Our dreams were beautiful
back when they were young
and it's a shame we have to kill them now
but you know
Their time has come
Just a little more
Just a little ways to go and then
then I'll walk away
I know what happens when I stay
I find the same damn wall
and I bang my head
until the surface cracks
and I start again
Spin in circles
pretend it's new
cause I know
My best will never do
It's so easy to stay the course
and it's easier to hold
pretend you're moving down the road
when you're just moving the goal
If I knew back then
that this would be as far as I would get
then I swear upon my empty grave
I would have fucking quit
Remember what I had
I remember what I lost
and I see the difference know
and I realize what it cost
if I could see the future
I have no doubt
I would have pulled the plug
and opted out
wrapped my hands around the past to pretend that I
that I could make it last
It's so easy to stay the course
and it's easier to hold
pretend you're moving down the road
when you're just moving the goal
If I knew back then
that this would be as far as I would get
I swear
I would have let it slip
I would have fucking quit

Too Late
04:35
|
|||
All the good I'll do is done
All the pain is gone, except for one
I leave it for you now
And hope you'll leave it when the time allows
I thought I'd see it, thought I'd know
I thought I'd have somewhere to go
A little trick to pull out at the end
But I'm too tired, I'm too weak
If this is what they meant by peace
I hope I never feel this way again
I feel it slipping so I cling
So I can say sorry for everything
Though there's no one left to hear
I hope the words can make it disappear
I feel I left so much undone
I should have stopped
but I'd just run
as if I'd never have to face the truth
As all the moments add to this
I wonder how much I'll be missed
And if I paid for all the sins of youth
And it's the cruelest joke I know
That for how much we have grown
I now have to let it go
And face this alone
So promise me you'll miss me
If only for a day
But even if you don't
I'll never know it anyway
Tried to hold together
but now I'm all unglued
When it's finally over
I wonder if all miss you
Or if I'll see you again
and if I do what happens then?
Do we get to move on from here
do we get to just pretend that
I made up for everything
again and again and again
for all the love I never gave to you
for all the monsters that I've been
Goddamn this clarity
That I always sought but now don't need
Where were you when I was young
When you could have stopped the damage done
No fate or destiny
Nothing I could believe
But I guess it seemed too late because
It always was

We're All Gonna Die
04:14
|
|||
If you'll live forever
I'll just end it now
If you're the future
You can plant me in the ground
'cause I want
No part of the lies you're telling
and I'm not buying the shit you're selling
Tomorrow's coming soon
but I hope it doesn't come for you
All of your misery makes all of mine worthwhile
and through it all there's still one thought that makes me smile
We're all gonna die
We'll all just rot away inside
We're all gonna die
We'll all be brought down to our knees
in time you'll see
Our bodies break and there's no escape
No exit you can take
We're all gonna die
You say time is running short
But I don't think that's true
From what I've seen
it isn't time that ends, but you
We've all suffered for so long
I hope your time comes before I'm gone
but even still
I know some day it will
And when my final nerve begins to fray
One thought can get me through the day
We're all gonna die
We'll all just rot away inside
We're all gonna die
We'll all be brought down to our knees
in time you'll see
Our bodies break and there's no escape
No exit you can take
We're all gonna die
I know you think I don't understand
But I don't think that's fair
I get every word you say
I just don't fucking care
And when we all look back among
the ruins in your wake
What you call a life
we all consider a mistake
C'mon and die
We're all gonna die
We'll all just rot away inside
We're all gonna die
We'll all be brought down to our knees
in time you'll see
Our bodies break and there's no escape
No exit you can take
We're all gonna die

All is Lost
03:28
|
|||
No more to do
Nothing to say
No string of empty words
to make it all okay but here
But here they are
to no one's surprise
Among the unaccepted truths
and accidental lies we told
While I can't take them away
We can ignore them for today because
All is lost
and now forgotten
cast into the sea
And I don't care what hurt you darling
but you can blame it all on me
It doesn't matter
it never did
Nothing to save and nothing left to forgive because
You know I'm sorry
and I know you're right
But we don't have to fight about it tonight because
What difference would it make?
No need to prove how much more we can take
All is lost
and now forgotten
cast into the sea
And I don't care what hurt you darling
but you can blame it all on me
Cast aside until tomorrow
Right where it should be
And if I had just one more minute
I'd spend it finding what you need

Patterns in the Pieces
03:40
|
|||
I have my reasons
I've got my regrets
But the light you said was coming
hasn't found me yet because
The wounds are open
The lesions are fresh
Old ghosts in the blood
New weakness in the flesh and I
I know the hunger
I've tasted the fear
I've told the little lies to make them disappear but I
Still hear them whisper
I feel them stir
I thought that they were dead
but you can never be sure and now
Your mouth is moving
but there's nothing to say
And all the lies I couldn't get to take
are heading to a graveyard filled with past mistakes
The skeletons left their closets for this ghost town
Their bones are breaking but they won't lie down
They chant:
"I'd say that I was sorry but I meant every word
I'd say that it was over, but that's not what I heard because
Nothing is finished, nothing is through
Now what will you do when we find you?"
For all of your empty threats
for all of your rage
You're just standing in the ocean
and pissing at the waves
Have you come to destroy me?
Have you come here to make me whole?
Do you think I care?
Have you come to absolve me?
Tell me it's out of my control?
Just what I need to hear
To let it all burn down
Cough up some blood and kick the ashes around
Just to see what I find
And when the pressure releases
Pretend I see a million patterns in the pieces
and there was a reason this time
My good intentions decayed
and I keep standing in my own goddamn way
and I'll never learn

Where Have You Been?
03:54
|
|||
You shouldn't have come here
I just want to sleep
The morning comes early
and excuses are cheap
Why did you come here?
I'm not what you need
You're just unfinished lines
Corrupted memories
I'd rather forget
Where have you been?
I've waited so long
Outside your door
I gave you everything
and still I regret that I didn't have more
But now
We'll never set the world on fire
Yes, if I try
I can feel the spark
I'm just too goddamn tired
So let me go
Please
I can't watch you bleed
Tell me a secret
The night's getting old
Give me an anchor
Something to hold
Cause I feel us drifting
Like we'll burn in the sun
I thought I was ready
But what have I done?
So maybe
just one more time
We can take the night and see
See what we find
