Brutalism

It's safe to say this is our moment
We've been waiting for this time to come
Not aiming for the mainstream
It's absurd how their words get you when your guard's down
This proving ground's the biggest stretch I've ever seen
But life is full of endless possibilities
They said we won't make it
Blood, sweat and tears for two whole years
And all to prove this point to you
A constant beginning
I swear we've heard it all before
You won't bring us down
It's us against the world
(we're never even close)
In the same damn place we started long ago
It means so much to see you with us now
(we're never even close)
So i say
(we're never even close)
The show must carry on
Throwing it all away
Cause it wasn't the same as what we really wanted
It's hard to see the other side
When you're the one who's living on it
You won't bring us down
You won't bring us down
It's us against the world, the fucking world
You won't bring us down
It us against the world
(we're never even close)
But the music keeps us going strong, I know
It means so much to see you with us now
(we're never even close)
In the same damn place we started long ago
You won't bring us down
Cause I'm home!

The Liar And The Thief
03:45
|

The truth, they say, is a fragile thing
A fragile thing
You broke it
It's hard to choose what's right when you're face down in the pain Face down in pain
Oh it ain't black and white no matter how hard you claim
A mannequin for shades of grey
Surrender
I know it hurts
We do, yeah we do
Surrender
I hope it burns
You got to, you got to
Save yourself, save yourself
Save your own skin from the hell that you created
Burn, burn
Stick to the secrets no-one would believe
A three-headed liar who only deceives
Held up as a tyrant
Shot down as a thief
Held up to the people, demanding reprieve
Stick to the secrets no-one would believe
A silver-tongued liar, a vision to see
The distance between us
Together we bleed
And pray for the day when it's how it's supposed to be
How it's supposed to... Be!
Surrender
I know it hurts
We do, yeah we do
Surrender
I hope it burns
You got to, you got to
Save yourself
I'm sorry we couldn't take it any more
Save yourself
You only made it worse
You fucked it

Into The Deep
04:33
|

The water is freezing
I can't see the coast or the golden sands
No lifeboat, no breathing
I long for the safety of warm dry land
My bleeding wounds are now attracting sharks
The blood surrounds me and the sea is growing dark
Waves threaten to drown me
There's no-one to save me
Commit me to the deep
And as the water fills my lungs
I only thought of you
I thought I could make it alone
Now I'm stranded and searching for home
Into the deep
Drowning adrift on my own
I thought I could make it alone
Now I'm stranded and searching for home
Into the deep
So far away from home
The lighthouse is blinking
A sea-water vision or hope at last
The siren is singing her tales of woe
I can't believe what I'm seeing
Commit me to the deep
We are sinking
We are sinking
Going down

Don't put your heart in this
You have so much to give
We've been down this road
A thousand fucking times
We've heard it all before
The day to day
The mundane it grips us ever so tightly
I got the fucking mondays on my mind
And the clock keeps the rhythm
Ambition depletes
You give them the world but the world gives you nothing
Screaming murder trapped inside your cell
In pressed trousers, suit and tie
I give them the world but the world will just swallow you whole
Don't put your heart in this
You have so much to give
We've been down this road
A thousand fucking times
We've heard it all before
Thanks for nothing
They don't see that you're driven
Just view life in their own tunnel vision
Don't be a slave to the shit that they pull
Don't be the sheep always be the wolf
Is it because
You give them the world but
Everything will never be enough
You're wasted
And all because
You give them the world but
Everything will never be enough

The Promise
04:43
|

It's a farewell to arms
The battle's fought and lost
A timely retreat
To collect our thoughts
All of the promises you made to me
Resulting in a gentle stream of agony
And it seems that we've forgotten how
We got this far
The angel voices in my head
They've left me for good
Should've left me dead
Just say the words
And we'll soar through blood-red skies
As we drive into the sunset
And leave this world behind
And we wouldn't stop 'til morning
'Til there's no more road ahead
But it's just a lie we tell ourselves
Like the thousand lives we said
On the horizon I can see
A black stormy sky
Where the sunlight should be
The wind and the rain
We could face on our own
We could've been lost
We could've been free
It's a farewell to arms
The battle's come and gone
Nothing left
Just what we've become All of the promises you made to me
Resulted in a gentle stream of agony
It seems that we've forgotten how
We got this far

Break down the walls
Black out my eyes
Now I see the truth
Faith
Filled with regret
All we serve here is you
Oh, fuck
And now I see the truth for what it is
Save me from your God inside
And he wasn't there at all
So save your words
Spare me from the one you love
And I couldn't care at all
They're only words
I
I'm free to live
I don't answer to you
That goddamn book
Has spilled more blood
Than any one man could lose
And I pray you live your life
In whatever way you choose
But don't pray for me
And I hope
You'll understand the difference
Between good deeds and deliverance
It's in your heart

Days We Spent
03:36
|

Just give me hope
But don't give me up
I'm getting older, my dreams turn to rust
Fear through the veins
As valves decay
And all the meaningless words that they say
I long for those days
Long passed away We could be happy with no price to pay
Let's talk about the summer days
The days that we spent
Laughing and drinking all night
Let's talk about the summer days
A youth gone misspent
Days where your dreams came to life
Is it wrong to dream
Of what might've been
Maybe I should've been quiet
But I never will
Maybe it is something that we should've seen
Maybe it is something that we could've been
Maybes going round my head over and over again

Breathing
04:23
|

Maybe they're only words
Roses on the seat
And dinner's getting cold again
A trembling in my feet
Maybe they're only words
Whatever words are worth
But I know it's only getting worse
I wanna live
Give and feel love as I'm living
Cause money can't buy you life
That's just love, that's just love
Yet we throw it away
And yet we throw it away
Stop searching
Start breathing
A waste of life and love
Stop searching
Start living
A waste of life and...
Love.
Don't be sad, you'll find your way
It sometimes take a little while
Maybe it's not the answer
But it's as close as I can get
To caring about this life we're used to
The life we're living And given half the chance
I'd hold onto all of this
If it means that I can live

Fire
Fiery angels fell
Deep thunder roared
Around the shores
Distant shores
Burning with the fires of orc
If you could only see
What I have seen
With these eyes that you designed
Would you be proud of me?
I've seen thing you wouldn't believe
Is it too much...
It is too much to ask that I be given one more try?
Fine, take my life
All these moments lost in time like tears in rain
And I've stood on the shoulders of Orion
Watched C-Beams glitter in the dark
I've flew the Tannhauser gate
And I've burned so very bright
I've done questionable things
Extraordinary things
I've revelled in my time
And I've seen things you wouldn't believe...
Is it too much...
It is too much to ask that I be given one more try?
Fine, take my life
All these moments lost in time like tears in rain
If you could
Only see
What I've seen
Would you be proud of me?

Horizons

A kick in the teeth
The taste of the soil again
The hazy smoke and whiskey-burns
I'm knocked out for the week
Pathetic and lifeless My god will I ever learn
In an instant everything can change
But it always stays the same for me
On my knees, I'm cold
But now it's time to take the blame
Own up to the mistakes I've made
I've got to break the hold
The hold of apathy
It's time to show the world we can return
To a better place again
An opportunity of a lifetime
Has only just begun
A labyrinth of lonely days
Precursor to my escape
A reminder of what I've done here
Beginnings are out of place
Precursor to my escape
A reason for what I've done here
In an instant everything can change
But it always stays the same for me
On my knees, I'm cold
But now it's time to take the blame
Own up to the mistakes I've made
I've got to break the hold
In an instant everything can change
But now it's time to take the blame
In an instant everything can change, my dear
Oh I've got to break the hold
The hold of fucking apathy!
