We all pay for our sins
Can't see this for what it really is / Tempted taught not to resist
Fornicate and twist regret / The pawn becomes the pet
Still we're tied to her anchor / Clinging to her ghost
Curse the seas that sank her her / As the captain stands his post

You got a bad reputation
That's the word out on the town
It gives a certain fascination
But it can only bring you down

You better turn yourself around
Turn yourself around
Turn it upside down

You had bad breaks well that's tough luck

Breathe now or never breathe again
Damn your eyes / Trying to hide your sin
We can't fool ourselves / Nor can we pretend
And I won't be the one / You choose to resent

Face down / Breathe out / Wind knocked
The way it is and always was
Chased down / Chin checked / Been c

Lacerated lullaby / A nightmare realized
A wound that is so deep / That it cuts you down in size
These burdens that we bear / Heavy hearts stare through eternity
Our purpose undefined / And clouded by uncertainty

We all fall down / Get back on your feet again
And silence th

Blackened wings of desperation / Soar toward an angry son
Sing of emancipation / Bring light unto the broken one
Feel the sting of separation / Alone I've come undone
Don't need your adoration / Transformation has begun

Formed in chlorine torment / Toxins locked inside

Nothing left to say / Can't communicate
Lies they punctuate / Static suffocates
Turn down the dial
Lost with blinders on / I can see your face
In the back of my throat / This blood is all I taste
So how can I cope / If I cannot erase
The memory of hope / Revered and revil

Pointed at my forehead / Cocked and loaded
My mind's illusion / Refused abused and distorted
So take the gloves off / And arm your warhead
My heart's contusion / Confused condemned and contorted

Halt / Face left
Don't turn the other cheek / Or take another breath

Welcome to the land of hopeless envy. Self-absorbed and empty. Hollow hearts and starry eyes where fame is viewed as a birth-right. Plastic surgeon messiahs and shallow self image. Substance abuse and eating disorders at the altar of insecurity. Everything is for sale. Everything is for sale in

Prepare an ornament for the mourning / Forming stain glass slides
Of your memory that's deformed and / Torn yet worn in stride

This age is full of deceit / The stage is set for defeat
Estranged / Check mate is defaced
Destroy to create / Engaged in self-doubt and rage

Darkness swallowed by dawn / All of our heroes are gone
We hide from the sun / Buried and numb
The light reminds us of our loss
No matter how hard I try to forget / Your memories all I have left
Stranded / Abandoned / Branded with this
Broken emotional debt

A blank page / A clean slate / Baptized in heartbreak
How much more can I take?
Emotionally bankrupt / Programmed to destruct
Lower the bar while raising the stakes

Caught in the grip / As my mind starts to slip
A matter of time before my health starts to fade
No founta
