Pull 05:12
lyrics
buy track
Drop to your knees and pray Broke apart and blown away Have your fill and fuck the rest Leave behind a shattered mess Leave your shit smeared on the walls Even the mighty will someday fall You just pull the pin on the dreams that fade away You count to three and then you pull the ejector seat And innocence is an overrated enemy Just pull the release No parachute will break your fall from grace you will see Just pull the release And everybody's screaming bon voyage on your way down Just pull the release When you hit the ground with a sound so loud we break free You just pull the pin on the dreams that fade away You count to three and then you pull the ejector seat You're flying high into the great blue sky until you fall Just pull the release And everyone isn't your personal enemy Just pull the release And the bodies litter the ground below don't you see Just pull the release We all will bleed when the demon seed learns to breed Just pull the release

The Risk 03:40
lyrics

I'm tired of being alone I've got freedom in my heart, you know I am already prepared Prepared to give away my heart, are you there? I heard it on the radio How was I to know? I've got too many problems And not enough time And I'm not afraid to be the risk you hide I've got so many questions Running through my mind But I'm not afraid to be the risk you try There are no more words to say It's a battle every night and day Take the torch and shine a light See it burning with a flame so bright It seems like it's impossible But how was I to know? I've got too many problems And not enough time And I'm not afraid to be the risk you hide I've got so many questions Running through my mind But I'm not afraid to be the risk you try I've got too many problems And not enough time And I'm not afraid to be the risk you hide I've got so many questions Running through my mind But I'm not afraid to be the risk you try

Nihilistic Love 04:39
lyrics
buy track
From the outside looking in There's no sunshine only rain Empty kisses and cold embrace Memories fade with no trace All your promises turn to lies All your promises swept aside In days forgotten I would rather be right here without you Our world is shattered Take the pieces and mould them into one All the lies don't matter Living with this nihilistic love It can all get better Take my hand and together we learn to fly From the inside looking out This world is fucked up without doubt My tears fall without a sound As I fade into the crowd All my failings make me weak I stand in line with the other freaks In days forgotten I would rather be right here without you Our world is shattered Take the pieces and mould them into one All the lies don't matter Living with this nihilistic love It can all get better Take my hand and together we learn to fly In days forgotten I would rather be right here without you Our world is shattered Take the pieces and mould them into one All the lies don't matter Living with this nihilistic love It can all get better Take my hand and together we learn to fly

Box Office Special 04:22
lyrics
buy track
I would be the first caped crusader to fail Kisses not kryptonite but so familiar I felt the sun dry out my pale skin The hypocrisy always makes me smile Who would win in a cage fight Superman or Jesus Christ? Put it on as a box office special £20 for the build up I may be the first hero to turn away The trembling of my fingers gives away my rage The cracks betray the venom clouding both my eyes My muscles turn to stone and my tears turn to rain Who would win in a cage fight Superman or Jesus Christ? Put it on as a box office special £20 for the build up Who would win in a cage fight Superman or Jesus Christ? Put it on as a box office special £20 for the build up A dog collar demands the same respect As a noose around my neck And I lie like a parasite Glorified in a nursery rhyme

When the Darkness Leaves 04:24
lyrics
buy track
From the cradle till we grieve There's no you and there's no me Broken hearted eternally All who enter turn to leave So when the darkness leaves me And I've finally found my release So when the darkness leaves me And I've finally found my release You will see In the daylight I can't breathe Everything's crawling over me At the crossroads among the weeds Sell your soul and you will see So when the darkness leaves me And I've finally found my release So when the darkness leaves me And I've finally found my release You will see So when the darkness leaves me And I've finally found my release So when the darkness leaves me And I've finally found my release You will see No one gave very much No one cared anyway I was always alone I was crushed by your hands That's the cross that I bear I was showered in hate Who's to blame?

Somewhere In-Between 03:07
lyrics

There's a light I see Somewhere in-between Between you and me Now I feel so weak That I cannot breathe This broken heart won't mend You held it in your hand Now I can't pretend Did you feel it break? Not something I can fake Everyday you wake with me Every night I lose another piece I'm not asking you to stay here with me Just somewhere in-between All the lies we told I cannot control So I'll tell one more It's not a movie scene Just somewhere in-between Everyday you wake with me Every night I lose another piece I'm not asking you to stay here with me Just somewhere in-between Everyday you wake with me Every night I lose another piece I'm not asking you to stay here with me Just somewhere in-between Just somewhere in-between

Film Scene Reality 04:13
lyrics

Standing on the ledge And no one cries for me Walking on the edge Of your reality Break apart the red And watch it disappear A bullet to the head It's not a scene on the silver screen Not a dream or film scene reality The clouds won't break your fall Or bring you to your knees The people you ignore They are so obsolete The blood you spill is mine There is no effect There's no second take It's not a scene on the silver screen Not a dream or film scene reality Break the trend, all great movies end Born again, a film star origin It's not a scene on the silver screen Not a dream or film scene reality Break the trend, all great movies end Born again, a film star origin

The Ending is the Same 04:14
lyrics
buy track
Blood red rain comes down again Find the vein, inject more pain On the run from everyone Of course you hate, unbridled rage Tonight, the ending is the same Tonight, they're freaking out again The bodies weak, the mind is high You live in a haze The bodies weak, the mind is high Trapped within this maze Animal locked in a cage Breaks won't heal, what is your fate? Join the proles, lined up in rows Join the queue, one of the few Tonight, the ending is the same Tonight, they're freaking out again The bodies weak, the mind is high You live in a haze The bodies weak, the mind is high Trapped within this maze Your sanity, careful to please What is real? Pray for release Prosperity is lost on me All who bleed seem too unreal Tonight, the ending is the same Tonight, they're freaking out again The bodies weak, the mind is high You live in a haze The bodies weak, the mind is high Trapped within this maze

Even Heroes Bleed 03:51
lyrics

You snapped your fingers and it all went wrong I don't see any other way All our hearts turn to dust and stone We will come back once again I can't tell you who to blame Even heroes bleed You can count on me It's not reality Even heroes bleed All the violence is not personal Grab your shield and mask your face Like dying stars in a flash they're gone Broken up and blown away I can't tell you who to blame Even heroes bleed You can count on me It's not reality Even heroes bleed Even heroes bleed You can count on me It's not reality Even heroes bleed Even heroes bleed You can count on me It's not reality Even heroes bleed

Forevermore 03:48
lyrics
buy track
In the garden you will see Bodies covered in broken leaves Only shadows and silhouettes No retreat and no regrets Break my heart forevermore Stuck in some forgotten war Say goodbye as your heroes leave Say goodnight as you fall asleep In the break of the rain clouds Feel the rage of the loyals The fruit of your tree has turned rotten Someone else that's just forgotten All these days forevermore Feel the swing of the wrecking ball Someone else tries to be understood No one else cries for spilling blood No one cares forevermore In the end rotten to the core Not making a start only killing time In these days of hate and lies

Through Closed Eyes 04:45
lyrics
buy track
We are just animals Some call it mind control They just line up the freaks and the thieves You're making enemies Who cares about the casualties? Just hide behind your lies and the bribery All our memories are starting to decay All our presidents are failing Fly until we fall, then fall into the grave Face down in the dirt we're staring through closed eyes We're all accountable The outcome is unstoppable Just close both your eyes and deny it all The truth is dangerous Your lies are breaking us There's nowhere to hide and there's nowhere to run Hold my arms so tight and twist them til they break All your monuments are falling Burn the witch at the stake and drown her in the lake History is not pure, we're staring through closed eyes All our melodies are turning into screams All these notes and chords fall silent Hit the ground with a thud and crawl into your hell Fuck the world, fuck it all, you're staring through closed eyes Through closed eyes

Parasites 05:27
lyrics
buy track
You deny all you read, all you see, all you feel, all you steal Put your thoughts on the page, every feeling the same, is it real? Open mind, draw the line, time to pay, pick a side, break the seal You are conspiring to lie, break the ties meant to bind, wounds won't heal And no one's asking for your rage So give me your reasons I'll tell you no lies Why are we all such parasites? You simulate feeling Just open your eyes Why are we all such parasites? You will reap what you sow, all your fields turn to gold, find a reason Another string to your bow, just a soul to be sold, hunting season Broken bones that are fused and a truth to refuse, where's the treason? With the keys to the world, all the hatred they hurled will deplete them And no one's asking for your rage So give me your reasons I'll tell you no lies Why are we all such parasites? You simulate feeling Just open your eyes Why are we all such parasites? So give me your reasons I'll tell you no lies Why are we all such parasites? You simulate feeling Just open your eyes Why are we all such parasites?
