Mother can you hear me are you locked up in your head
Brother are you listening but you can't hear what's been said
I've never known human fear
Have no home and disappear
Father do you know me you're a stranger a strange dad
Don't bother with your stories cause you can't change what's been had
I've never known human fear
Be alone and disappear
Can't save yourself with what you have
Just don't forget to remember that
All your regrets can't take them back
And the world you knew before won't be there forever more
Cover what's familiar like a picture with no frame
Smother all your memories so you won't feel so ashamed
I've never shown human fear
Have no home and disappear
Can't change yourself erase your past
Just don't forget to remember that
Cleanse old regrets can't take them back
I feel guilty but what have I done
I'm a useless terrible son
When the pieces are broken down
What's the difference right or wrong
Mother are you lonely are you caught up in the past
Being alone have no fear
To the unknown I'll disappear
Come face yourself with all you have
And soon forget your vacant past
All your regrets can't take them back
And the world you knew before is the world you can't ignore
It won't be there forever more
Mother can you hear me are you locked out of your head
I've never known human fear
Have no home and disappear

Vs. 1
The future's in reverse if you're thinking backwards
Life is to rehearse your death thereafter
Living for the day it's now or never
Pre Chorus / Bridge
You can try to love yourself with the love of someone else.
Just kick it to yourself
Chorus (1)
Escape from a world that brings you down
Escape from the walls that keep you bound
Escape
Escape
Escape
Vs. 2
The end is to begin starting over
It's coming from within and going nowhere
Live inside a dream and sleep forever
Pre Chorus / Bridge
You can try to hurt yourself with the pain of someone else
Don't keep it to yourself
Chorus (2)
Escape from a world that pulls you down
Escape from the rules that keep you bound
Escape yourself
Escape yourself
Escape yourself
Coda
Housebound phase one
Roll sound camera on
What would you do if nothing's real at all
Would you still feel or don't care at all
Middle Section
Shallow frown frozen still
Homeward bound I bare no ill
I was lost but now I'm found
If Jesus saves safe and sound
Pre Chorus / Bridge
You can try to heal yourself with the wounds of someone else
You're talking to yourself with the words of someone else repeating in your head
Escape
Escape
Chorus (3)
Escape from a world that beats you down
Escape from the walls, the rules, the bounds
Escape yourself
Escape yourself
Escape yourself
Escape yourself

Voiceless
04:14
|
|||
|
You gave it up without a fight
We take it all we have no right
A human clone a species life
We take control and sacrifice to feed our soul
We ate it up and bought your lies
Don't see their blood don't hear their cries
We carry on the curtain's drawn
When we say it's not right
Out of mind out of sight
You know the reasons that we make
Don't compensate the lives we take of the Voiceless
It's our choices
We raised you up and gave you life
The weakest culled the sharpest knife
Our senses dulled when justified
Don't you feel bad
Does it make you sad
When you know it's not right
Out of mind out of sight
You know the feelings that we fake
Don't compensate the lives we take of the Voiceless
Making choices for the Voiceless
Use our Voices
We build you up then tear you down
Can't get enough
Our planet home a world divide
Yesterday's born tomorrow dies
We'll never learn our own demise
Can't take it back and we can't backtrack
And we know it's not right
Out of mind out of sight
We know the choices that we make
Don't compensate the lives we take of the Voiceless
Making choices for the Voiceless
We're their voices

Alien Skin
05:49
|
|||
|
Something's taken its toll
It feeds right through your soul
It's coming up through the ground
I can't take anymore
I feel like letting go
It's coming up through the ground
Something's taken control
I fear I've come undone
It's coming up through the ground
The spores I breathe them in
They block the pores inside my skin
I wish I was an alien
So I could hide inside my skin
When I look away but still I yearn
To anticipate the end of the world
(I wish I was an alien)
The end of the world
(So I could hide inside my skin)
I can't take much more
The fear of letting go
Is coming up through the ground
The spores I breathe them in
The darkest sores inside my skin
I wish I was an alien
So I could hide my human skin
I'm far away but still return
To anticipate the end of the world
Is coming up through the ground
It's coming up though the ground
Is there no other way at all
There's no other way to fall
There's no other way to crawl
It's coming up though the ground

Mother Nature's Revenge

Mother Nature's Revenge
Is this really the end
Can we take back everything we did to you
Human nature repent
We've destroyed everything
Can't we take back all the things we done to you
We can't take anymore
We've taken it all and what's left for us to dominate and rule
Mother Nature my friend
I hope you can mend
Can't we give back everything we took from you
We can't take anymore
She's taken control of what's left and now she's gone and turned on you
It's taken it's toll
The state of the world
Is it too late to stop and start again as new
Time is a tightrope
Walking blindfold
Until we fall off
No safety net instead a noose
What's gone wrong what's you gonna do
Can we take back everything we did to you
What's gone wrong what's you gonna do
Mother Nature's Revenge
I know you resent while we sit back and do it all again to you
She gave us the world
We've made it a hole
While we break and burn everything inside of you
We've taken control but what we don't know
Is that she'll turn back, take back, come back and make it all again as new
Mother Nature my friend
I hope you can mend

Worry
03:05
|
|||
|
I worry that I'm old
I worry like I'm told
I hurry but I'm slow
To carry all this load
But I worry no more
I don't feel like I did before
I'm feeling restored
Now I worry no more
I worry that I'm sold
I worry until I'm told
To hurry down that road
This story is getting old
But I worry no more
I don't feel like I did before
That feeling you know
But I worry no more
Time won't ever question and time won't be wasted
Too much over thinking my mind won't be pacing
My mind won't won't be racing
I worry like I'm told
To worry until I'm old
I worry that I'll fold
My story left untold
But I worry no more
I don't feel like I did before
I'm feeling restored
Now I worry no more

Light of the Day
05:31
|
|||
|
Light of the day shines colder
I know who you are and I'm almost afraid to say
Life of the day grows older
I know who you are and I love you anyway
Until my life is over
Until daylight is over
Light of the day shines shorter
The days go to the dark
And the night goes straight to day
Falling asleep to start over
Awaken the day as the light just fades away
When my life is over
When my time is over
The daylight fades to night
When my life is over
Light of the day shines darker
Don't know who you are and I'm almost afraid to say
If my life is over
If my time is over
The daylight fades to night when my life is over
Light of the day shines colder
I know who you are and I love you by the way

Surrender
03:27
|
|||
|
Has it been something that I said
Usually I don't remember
All these thoughts I do surrender
Gradually a better part of me
I give to you all that I treasure
Nothing means more than forever
How can I forget you when you're half of me
Now I'm trying to remember
The memories I keep forever
How could I neglect you when you're part of me
A species of a kindred nature
All of this I do surrender
Sadness a feeling of regret
I sooner would be late for something
But time keeps running into nothing
Happiness a feeling left unkept
I'd sooner wait for that to happen
I'm open to accept rejection
How could I protect you when you're far away
Now I'm trying to remember
Memories that last forever
How could I reject you, you're the same as me
A species of a kindred nature
All of this I surely treasure
Now that you're here to stay
Somehow you and I could stay connected
Now that you're here with me
Somehow I'm more like I am less rejected
Memory is taking over me
Now I try not to remember
Thoughts that turn into a cluster
Imagining the water running clean
Wash away and calm the tension
Sleep all day and lose connection
How can I protect you if you fall away
How can I create a meaning
A reason to wake up for something
How could I forget you when you're part of me
Memories I'll keep forever
All my love I do surrender now

Less I Have
04:19
|
|||
|
Don't ask for anything at all
Don't need it staring at the wall
Don't want for anything at all
Like all things great and small
The less I have the happier I am
Does that make me less of a man
As I live life without a plan
The only way I can
Hey I don't want it I don't need it
Wait I don't want it I don't need it
Hey I don't buy it I don't need it
Wait I don't own it I don't feel it now
Don't feel it now
Don't ask for anyone at all
If nobody's there to take the call
I feel like I'm barely here at all
My life seems bigger small
Hey I don't want it I don't need it
Wait I don't want it I don't need it
Hey I don't buy it I don't need it
Wait I don't own it I don't feel it now
Don't feel it now
Don't feel it now
Don't need it now
Don't feel it now
The less I have the happier I am
Still don't know who I am

Hibernate
05:14
|
|||
|
Pain is all that ever was
Pain dissolves the wounds
Rain is all that ever was
Wash away the earth
Faith in all that never was
With arms around the world
I pray for all that never was
I pray for what it's worth
Afraid of all that never was
Ashamed of what I'm worth
I blame it all on everyone
We all destroy the world
Evening feels like a huge weight
Morning feels like a clean slate
I guess it's time to hibernate
Hibernate
