Yeah! There will always be A mountain Before you And it will always be Rising from the ground To impossible heights And you’re left screaming “Somebody help me!” But no one’s listening You are all alone You’re not living your dream You’re living your reality Wake up from your sleep See things for what they are There is no ending Always something that stops you And in this moment Everything tests you Pushing you backwards There’s no way to win this game The second you make it You have to start it all over again (And again)x4 Why do I keep going back What other choice do I have? Somehow I’m still holding on Maybe it’s not for nothing You’re not living your dream You’re living your reality Wake up from your sleep See things for what they are There will always be a mountain And as you reach the peak Your fingers are aching Your body is worn Body is worn But you can feel the sun

I can't help but to feel cheated To know they can see you everyday And I can't, I feel so defeated But in these moments lying here I think about the people out there How of all the others there could be You would choose to stay with me Don't you lie to me and say it's soon I've seen the clock and it doesn't move It's the in-between that really hurts It's the in-between, the in-between And it feels like the cold breeze against my face It feels like the cloudy skies above me To know my old friends can see you everyday When everyday I long for that far away dream But one day I'll wake, But one day I'll wake Don't you lie to me and say it's soon I've seen the clock and it doesn't move It's the in-between that really hurts It's the in-between, the in-between Last night I thought of you endlessly. The stars don't seem to shine tonight and the sun never seems as bright. The windows in my room remain clouded over, so I can't tell if it's night or day. At least when you are here I know I have something to slow down time. Slowing down the night. I know that these moments away are Just trials we must overcome And I know these times we are apart Are times we grow, but that doesnt mean it doesnt hurt. Im not saying I dont want this, its just hard sometimes. Because the hurt sucks, but youre worth it. Don’t you lie to me and say it’s soon I’ve seen the clock and it doesn’t move It’s the inbetween that really hurts It’s the inbetween, the inbetween The sky tonight doesn't show its moonlit hope I have something when you’re here!(x2)

Lately, I find it so hard to write these words. It’s so damn hard to sit down, and say what’s in my heart It’s like I’ve lost touch with something Something deep inside It’s like I’m losing who I am And I don’t know what to do Where do I go? To find myself again I’ve spent so long Silent, waiting For the right words to say For something to show itself But it seems there’s nothing Nothing hidden Inside of me There’s nothing I can say To make this doubt go away Sometimes I lie awake And think of all the things I’d say To you if you were here But there’s nothing Nothing I could say Nothing inside of me, There’s nothing, nothing And it drives Me crazy Digging deep For some shred of humanity But it seems I’ve lost my empathy I feel so empty There must be Something more to me Otherwise What’s keeping me going

Now Is Found 03:49
I can feel his shadow Weighing down upon my mind I can feel his shadow Bringing me down I can feel him inside my head He’s twisting all my words And eating off the corners Off my poems He’s haunting me He’s haunting me He asks me What do you believe And I don’t have an answer What do I believe How do I overcome this overwhelming doubt I feel so weak I feel powerless I feel empty I feel so broken Maybe it’s time To decide what I believe To learn just what’s important To me Maybe it’s time To know what I believe To know what I believe I’ll tear him from my mind Replacing doubt with honesty I’ll rip him out of my head I’ll find out what I believe It won’t be easy It will take time The shadow of his doubt Will still creep upon my mind But I won’t let it Oh I won’t let it No, I won’t let it Keep a hold on me

How close have I come To being who I was meant to be No matter how hard we try We’re all inefficient machines So what does that say About what we create What do we do When our plans dissipate Looking down (At all the pieces) Lying there (In total disrepair) The shattered parts (Of what I said I’d be) What is my destiny Rusted and battered The friction grinds down our gears Electric resistance Our circuits filled with fears I can’t stand it But what can be done We’re all stuck here In imperfection Yet we keep reaching for Something we can never have You are not perfect Neither are we Nothing is perfect And why should it be Rusted and battered The friction grinds down our gears Electric resistance Our circuits filled with fears I can’t stand it I had all these plans Of who I was supposed to be (We’re all inefficient machines) x 4 Nothing is perfect (We’re all) And why should it be (Inefficient machines) What’s the point in living (We’re all) If we’re all machines (Inefficient machines) Run down and tired It’s built up over these years Endless persistence But then life interferes I can’t stand it I had all these plans I can’t stand it But what choice do I have Inefficient machines Inefficient machines Inefficient machines Inefficient humanity

Fallout 03:18
This was a family There’s nothing I wouldn’t do I would’ve died for you Inside my head there sleeps perfection And it wears the skin that you once walked in You were supposed to save me We built this fortress just for ourselves To keep us safe and everyone out You were supposed to save me But who could’ve known Those unbreakable walls That we’d tear them down ourselves When I watched the first brick Fall to my feet That’s the moment I knew This won’t last We’ll burn up upon re-entry to the lives we left behind And now I’ve got to figure out Who I am When you’re not here When you’re not here I need to decide Who it is I want to be This is not the end But it is an ending This is not the end But it is and ending This is not the end But it is an ending

Dream State 04:11
Drifting through these visions Ethereal conversation I float in ecstasy Mindless simplicity But then it slips away And I’m left to wander This nightmarish landscape Where my demons gather Cackling laughter Piercing through my soul Their gaze paralyzes Shreds our disguises Makes us who we are Makes us remember What we’re hiding from Into oblivion You and I will fall I’ll stay awhile Talk with you Echo your smile Until you disappear And leave me here To fend for myself Leaving me stranded Helpless, abandoned Waiting for their teeth I know I can't fight them I'll be left condemned Buried underneath If only I could wake up But to wake up is to meet their gaze I can't wake up. I can't meet their gaze I can't meet their gaze. I can't meet their gaze. In the corners of my mind I hid behind these walls This never-ending darkness I keep it from them all Now with closed eyes I will succumb I'll drift inside Of my dreams where They can't find me Trapped in this dream state I'll never escape Floating through my fantasies For all eternity

For You 05:00
I say this one last thing Before I go on with this Is this the beginning or ending And if it is would you be ready? Is this the life you wanted The one you built yourself Take these words and let them be felt This is all I wanted For You I built these walls For You I walk these halls Break free from what you knew Take the chance you couldn't And here you wait for something new I know the fear is there What if I fail myself What if I'm to far gone here For You I fall to my knees For You I beg and I plead For You I try to be free Now I'm done dragging my feet I'm finished holding back Now I'm done staying at my seat Now this will be forever (x4) For You I am making changes For You I want to say this For You This is all for you
