“So They Say”
Say what you mean, but never what you believe.
It all seems fair, when it’s gonna be the only way you keep
me around, as I long just to hear the truth
just for one time, come from your mouth.
I tried so hard to keep myself above
the wreck outside that’s been stained with love;
but I let you in--that was my cardinal sin
Now we fall apart again
(Chorus)
You say you’re sick of it, well so am I.
I wanna forget all this, instead we cry.
Mourn the memories, lost to time
because it’s better in the end...
or so they say
Now while I sit and stare, my silence you can’t bear,
so you fill that void; so surprised you care.
But unbeknownst to me--I never thought I’d see
that look upon your face
of the girl I knew oh so long ago.
Least I thought I did; that was just for show.
A mask you keep to hide what lies below:
the worst that’s here to stay
You say
(Chorus 2)
you’re sick of it; so am I.
I wanna forget all this, instead we cry.
Mourn the memories, lost to time
Because it’s better in the end...
You’re sick of it; so am I
I wanna forget all this, instead we cry.
Mourn the memories, lost to time
because it’s better in the end...
or so they say
(Bridge)
Pressure builds, now it’s calling me;
rising up, I can barely breathe.
Sense of dread’s heavy with belief
that there’s nothing left to say
(Repeat)
(Chorus 2)

“World on Fire”
In my head, I hide disgrace.
Torn apart, I long to blame
the ones I loved, now far away
Making good on a better life...
Success--so brief, and laced with fear--
a heady venom I drink with cheer.
The saviors, the martyrs--they end up here
Alone and red...
(Chorus)
Because a world on fire, is all I see:
shadows burning down, piece-by-piece.
When it’s time to give the Devil his due,
the dying embers will be all that’s left
to be consumed
All I want’s to make a better place:
somewhere, you know, without a trace
of the blight that feeds the wound it creates.
But it’s the mark I can’t escape...
(Chorus)
(instrumental)
Because a world on fire, is all I see:
shadows burning down, piece-by-piece.
And when it’s time to give the Devil his due,
the dying embers will be all that’s left
Yeah a world on fire, is all I see:
shadows burning down, piece-by-piece.
When it’s time to give the Devil his due,
the dying embers will be all that’s left
to be consumed

“Working Title”
The tale of the broken man
is never in just his hands;
it’s rendered in all the plans that
wither away.
Still, he’s lingering on,
just getting along,
as the part he plays decays into
a black rose memory
(Chorus)
Cast aside in the name,
of circumstance and shame.
Living in a fragment of
the fate you came to claim.
Beaten down and frayed
by petty thoughts and blame.
Bound and gagged by the prayers
The heavens don’t hear
anyway
(Bridge)
Now there’s
no reason to fight - or try to -
beat back the tide - it comes to -
wash away your soul - and carry it -
on through the night.
Yeah, there’s
no reason to fight - or try to -
beat back the tide - it comes to -
wash away your soul - and carry it -
on through the night
Cast aside in the name,
of circumstance and shame.
Living in a fragment of,
the fate you came to claim.
Beaten down and frayed,
by petty thoughts and blame.
Bound and gagged by the prayers
The heavens don’t hear, No.
The heavens don’t hear, No.
The heavens don’t hear
anyway...

“Goose Step”
Saw where the herd was headed,
chose to stand in front;
locked in step against the Kingdom come.
Picked my rage, and wielded it for fun;
broke your back to keep you under my thumb.
Seemed so easy to lose the light along the way;
encroaching darkness cast it all in shades of gray.
Now what’s left?
No better things to come;
just the remnants of what we thought we’d begun
(Chorus)
‘Cause ours is not to question why;
ours is but to live to die.
The stains, they bleed through, beneath the truth,
hiding behind the reveal
of the point they came to prove
Now heavy is the hand that holds the crowd,
making puppets out of men who see no other way out.
You can weep for the masses, blinded by fear,
but there’s no laugh like one that should be tears.
So we cater to whims, giving our thanks to him
who claims the name “Savior;” just reminds of our sins.
Pray hope will prevail, as trust begins to fail;
The message lost
as we drive the nail
(Chorus)
(Instrumental)
