Tedious Lie 03:05
lyrics
There was a time when I would've lied And my part in this crime I would've denied I've tried to live out my life free of blame But it won't be long til I catch up to shame It's kinda sad That the life I've had Has been tainted by Such a tedious lie I'm completely lost I just don't know Just how exactly this will all go I'm trying my hardest to push through the pain But it can't be long til my defences wane And it's kinda sad That the life I've had Has been tainted by Such a tedious lie

I Will Name It 03:27
lyrics
Taste my human tears Feed my inner fears Wash away the wasted time Shape the fall your own way I will name it yeah I will shame it oh no I will wear it on my sleeve I will drain it out See the wasted years Turning with the gears Waste all of my time Finding peace of mind I will name it yeah I will shame it oh no I will wear it on my sleeve I will drain it out Locked inside my room I fall deep inside myself When you have been so low Then you find life ain't so bad I will name it yeah I will shame it oh no I will wear it on my sleeve I will drain it out

Be the Hunted 03:42
lyrics
You may not believe me and I don't you to You can choose to walk away and no-one will blame you You may not believe me but I say it's true You can choose to walk away but I will only follow you Let the hunter Be the hunted And you will see what I mean Let the hunter Be the hunted And I'll bathe your soul clean You may not defend me and I don't need you to You can turn your back me and no-one will blame you You may not defend me but I maintain it's true You can turn your back on me but I will only follow you Let the hunter Be the hunted And you will see what I mean Let the hunter Be the hunted And I'll bathe your soul clean You may not believe me and I don't you to You can choose to walk away and no-one will blame you You may not believe me but I say it's true You can choose to walk away but I will only follow you

What Did You Say? 03:55
lyrics
Head hung low Time to go Way too slow Can't let go Vengeance is mine One day you will pay the price I can't hear you What did you say? What did you say? What did you say? Make me proud You're too loud Heavy cloud Still too loud Vengeance is mine One day you will pay the price I can't hear you What did you say? What did you say? What did you say? Vengeance is mine One day you will pay the price I can't hear you What did you say? Vengeance is mine One day you will pay the price I can't hear you What did you say? What did you say? What did you say? What did you say? What did you say?

Retract 03:09
lyrics
I look around to find the answer For what's really going on All I find is competition Tearing life apart I don't think I want this I retract my service I retract my service to you I'm gonna find my own way We can change it all today I think there is a question We all ought to ask Why is so much life wasted Chasing paper I don't think I can take this I retract my service I retract my service to you I'm gonna find my own way We can change it all today What have I bought into If this is what I'm sold What have I bought into Is it really all just a lie I tried to leave But there you are Open armed I retract my service I retract my service to you I'm gonna find my own way We can change it all today I retract my service I retract my service to you I retract my service You can try But you'll never control my life

Emerald 02:53
lyrics
Diamond on tooth and green within your eyes Pretend I don't want you it makes me feel alive Diamond on tooth and green within your eyes Keep all my thoughts for you and speak between the lines Emerald Do what you're told Magic when you smile and golden cross you bear Pretend I don't want you it helps me catch the air Diamond on tooth and green within your eyes Pretend I don't want you it makes me feel alive Emerald Do what you're told Emerald Do what you're told

Lose My Mind 02:55
lyrics
I feel nothing and I don't know why I'm begging you Can you tell me how I ended up so dead inside Before I lose my mind I've got to say goodbye End the schemes and lies Before I lose my mind I feel thoughtless when you twist my line But is it you Or is this me finding out that I lose Before I lose my mind I've got to say goodbye End the schemes and lies Before I lose my mind In time you'll see that this won't go your way again In time you'll see that this won't go your way again In time I hope you'll see that this won't go your way Before I lose my mind Before I lose my mind I've got to say goodbye End the schemes and lies Before I lose my mind Before I die trying I've got to say goodbye End the schemes and lies Before take my mind

What You Want 02:42
lyrics
Here we are Standing alone With our backs Up against the wall We are free Free to be What you want Us to be Now you try To tell us what to do We will stand Up against your rules We are free Free to be What you want Us to be We are free

From Afar 05:41
lyrics
Why the attention Strangle claret flow You aren't the same to me I saw you from afar I'm happy to see you smile Riveting climax to a storyboard You were always right You dazzled in the crowd It was nice to see you smile Why the attention Strangle claret flow You aren't the same to me I saw you from afar I'm happy to see you smile Riveting climax to a storyboard You were always right You dazzled in the crowd It was nice to see you smile The glass ceiling shatter Goodbye candle glow You were always right In time the dice will roll I saw you from afar I saw you from afar I saw you from afar I saw you from afar I saw you from afar
