1.	The Fall 04:32	lyrics
You better think this through Another couple times You worship the ground upon which you step Though you know not where you tread And now the brothers left broken & lied to Expose the truth and the demons inside you Your voided claims will soon join you in tandem When you've taken the fall The choices you've made leave the one's you've betrayed Then you've taken the fall The fall The fall that cost it all Callow man: I'm going to save you the diatribe And pray The Gods take mercy on what's left Though we're not holding our breath Could this be? It's divine intervention? Is this justice by some wicked extension? I don't need the attention but Oh, the shriek of your descent is sweet.. When you've taken the fall The choices you've made leave the one's you've betrayed Then you've taken the fall The fall The fall that cost it all
2.	Eyes 04:16	lyrics
Sunshine goes away Still I'm looking for another day Without you Cloudy skies turn into rain Now I'm here to stay Just for you I've got bloodshot eyes I'm not sleeping right I'm wrong, you're right And I"m blue With my half-dead smile Want to stay a while I'm crazy and so are you I want to take everything but my eyes off of you [I WANT TO TAKE EVERYTHING BUT MY EYES OFF OF YOU] Everything that I've ever said, is it true? [EVERYTHING THAT I'VE EVER SAID, IS IT TRUE? Darkness lays its claim Still I'm thinking that this wait's a shame Without you Cries of joy turn into pain Can my will sustain Just for you I've got bloodshot eyes I'm not sleeping right I'm wrong, you're right And I'm blue With my half-dead smile Wanna stay a while I'm crazy and so are you I want to take everything but my eyes off of you [I WANT TO TAKE EVERYTHING BUT MY EYES OFF OF YOU] Everything that I've ever said, is it true? [EVERYTHING THAT I've EVER SAID, IS IT TRUE? [IS IT TRUE?]
3.	Munchausen	lyrics
Embers rise to meet me The air, it shudders from the heat Which pales in comparison To your hands on me And as we dance, go round & round It would seem that happiness was found In a place you'd never expected You picked up the pieces but then threw them & wrecked it [SO DON'T TELL ME] That you're a victim and you needed attention [BECAUSE TRUST ME] None of your fallacies ever made an exception I watch you bleed Through bandaged eyes And although it's tearing me up inside I cannot help what won't help itself My hands are tied As I stoke the fire Embers rise to meet me This time the air itself is still And when I close my eyes your Hands are gone as well And in this scene What's lost in strife Has brought imagination back to life It's a shame that you'll never bear witness To the powers at hand and the changes that did this [SO DON'T TELL ME] That you're a victim and you needed attention [BECAUSE TRUST ME] None of your fallacies ever made an exception I watched you bleed Through bandaged eyes And although it's tearing me up inside I cannot help what won't help itself My hands are tied So please save yourself
4.	Sepia (The Masochist)	lyrics
Brown eyed & blurry She's baited at best A girl walks up beside me In familiar dress My eyes too focused To notice hers, trained On the things that would happen Not the things that would wash in the rain And this nostalgia's never known Such unfamiliarity Some things that I'm convinced will not change I saw it all in sepia, sepia You'd think it funny How lost I can get In a shuttered memory that hasn't happened yet You'd think it sad The time I would spend Entertaining ideas of things I will never have said And it's masochist, and it's masochist And it's masochist, and it's masochist .. yeah And it's masochist, and it's masochist And it's masochist, I'm a masochist for this Her lips are moving and I've seen this before But what is she's saying? I'm not sure anymore If I could, I'd burn this whole place down But arson's contagious and there's only so much to this town And it's masochist, and it's masochist And it's masochist, and it's masochist .. yeah And it's masochist, and it's masochist And it's masochist, I'm a masochist for this And with each frame that lascerates One last vein before I go I suppose it's all devoted to show In sepia, and it's masochist, and it's masochist Sepia. And it's masochist, and it's masochist .. yeah Sepia. And it's masochist, and it's masochist Sepia. And it's masochist, I'm a masochist for this
5.	Under	lyrics
Spare my mortal Spare my mortal soul I wanted this so bad Now I'm losing all control Trying, vying for a reason My eyes are closed and my breath is held I go under And as my air escapes I'm drawn back up Black water purge from me The yielding fear of sheer uncertainty Glass grows dark again Along with everything else in it I find reflection here But cannot tell what is or isn't Trying, vying for a reason My eyes are closed and my breath is held I go under And as my air escapes I'm drawn back up Black water purge from me The yielding fear of sheer uncertainty
6.	Waves of Velvet (Kill The Lights)	lyrics
Hello my only Love you forever Hold me down, I just can't sit still As waves of velvet Roll in over me I grip the chair and I'm thrown right back into nil [KILL THE LIGHTS] And kill everything else I thought it meant to me [KILL THE LIGHTS] And kill these ambitions of this callow man I see I've got a pulse and I've got a signal I've two hands but they're trembling now You said you'd show me A path enlightened You said you'd show me the fear of God and so how? [KILL THE LIGHTS] And kill everything else I thought it meant to me [KILL THE LIGHTS] And kill these ambitions of this callow man I see [FIRE], [FIRE] At my sacrafice it ignites the saw in the sand [FIRE], [FIRE] No one ever expects you to watch it all slip through your hands
7.	Hold On (There Is No Other Way)	lyrics
The lights have never been deceiving Like right now From what once showed an understanding I'm left asking how For every word that's left our lips I'm still convince that I may never know What brought us here but Hold on. Hold on to everything Be strong. I can promise you there's no other way When you see its eyes As you walk within its fire Just remember that I've burned there too I've never felt so disconnected Like right now From what once showed an understanding I'm left asking how For every word that's left our lips I'm still convinced that I will never know What brought us here but Hold on. Hold on to everything Be strong. I can promise you there's no other way When you see its eyes As you walk within its fire Just remember that I've burned there, burned there too Speak to me At least one last time Speak to me Let me know that you're home, that you're whole again It's what I can't believe in That leaves me blind And still I'm just not convinced that It heals with time.
