_____________________
I lay cold. I lay.
some things still remain
even though you are running away
and when you go, go unaware of the dreams
you can share with me , please!
why then, are you standing alone
oh why, when the world is dead in your arms
once, once in a lifetime, as you're growing,
when ideals are falling apart
as your heart reaches out
why did think I'd be gone (why did think I've begun)
why when the world is dead
so when you go
I can even tell, you don't know
when you'll go away
amazing, it's all coming down
and I'm ohhhh
OKAY, I'm ok
Tell me will you seek the truth
Tell me will you seek, will you see, will you seek

___________________________
Speaker of the night, when your sword drips red
Bright Eyes couldn’t take you and all your disgrace, Bright Eyes.
The honor will arise as the vail slips down
We ride on this wave ‘til we’re digging our grave
You alive to expel is our now living hell
Bright Eyes, What are you waiting for?
You’re running us out the door
Running us out the door
What are you waiting for?
When you gonna take me home?
Here we go unto the same routine
The cycle follows the wave ‘til we’re diggin’ a grave
of lies, Lies , Lies
Speaker of the Bright,
the sun arises to give us a way to accept you,
and all your regrets
Your exchange couldn’t bring you away from it all
Bright Eyes couldn’t share you in all that despair
(‘Til we’re digging our...)
You alive to expel, We’re alive to excel...(Excel!)
Bright Eyes Just what are you waiting for?
You’re running us out the door
You’re running us out the door. Running goes out the door
What are you waiting for? Running goes out.
What are you waiting for?
When you gonna take me home?
Here we go unto the same routine
The cycle follows the wave 'til we’re diggin’ a grave
of lies, Lies, Lies
Do you see the pain cycling the same routine again?

Tony Flangiello - Drum set
Josh "Freshy" Cisario : Bass
__________________________
I'm having fun, I'm having fun and while I'm with you
I want to get to get you consumed before my reign is over.
I saw a picture in an outer stream and it said
you could be anything that you want to be...
For we have the power of ability, agility
When everybody knows, then everybody grows
But anyway, I'm having fun, I'm having fun
and so it doesn't matter Home grown under a satellite .
And I just might be there...
I had a vision in an outer stream I saw you looking out
and looking greener looking greener then I thought.
We're on the edge of this insanity or can it be
a little thing you do when you are so desperate?
Humanity will always suffer 'cause there'll always be a need -
Another reason to bleed.
I never thought that you would turn away you head
You have no reason to hoard it all, (you are a rat),
holding everyone back
But anyway I'm having fun, until I’m done and so It doesn't matter,
I’m fine under a satellite
and I just might be there.
Be there , I'll be there . And I just might be there.
With all my might…. Be there.

Tony Flangiello - Drums
Josh "Freshy" Cisario : Bass
________________________________
Wait for me ...Wait for me...
Be careful of what you wish for, 'cause you may not endure
the lessons that await
That's why you... never cry... Wolf and spin the truth how you want,
(Lies)
Be, be mindful of the ties you burn
as you walk alone through bodies you discard
That's why you never cry Wolf cause when you do,
the chaos follows ...
Chaos when, you can spin the truth how you want
That's why you never cry...
Cause when you do, there's chaos when you can spin truth
Cause when you do, the chaos follows lies
Unjust and cruel you'll take your rule and all of the pieces collide
Where the evil in us all reside, you'll have your say
And our bodies all will lay when it's time to put the pieces all away
Unjust and cruel you'll take your rule and all of the pieces collide
Unjust and cruel....
A slight of hand (such a slight of hand, such a slight of hand)
Such a slight of chance (Such a slight of chance),
you'll have your say. And our bodies all will lay
when it's time to put the pieces all away
That’s why you never cry Wolf and spin the truth how you want
Wait for me , wait for me .....

Josh "Freshy" Cisario : Bass
_________________________
Don't give up too soon, We have yet to bloom,
Broken dreams free fall from the sky
You've made a second skin, Now you are trapped within
telling lies to your inner soul...
like "you're all that mattered" like "we never mattered"
suffering in this constant flow ...
But you're wrong. We all belong
Silence, the silver fool, strangers, they came to rule
Steal your voice, and implant their thoughts
like that's all that matters
like that's all that mattered
As long as you can preserve my insides
But you're wrong. We all belong. We all belong.

___________________________
Imagine Imagine imagine imagine
look to the corners of your mind,
Where you have no place to hide
And it's my understanding that you'll find
where our likeness coincide
So go find someone, someone like me
(we can see we all are one)
Go find yourself, I guarantee
If you are listening we shouldn't have to complicate the fact
that we are adjusting the love inside
Our hearts are one and you're asking questions why
So (why can't we see we are one)
go find someone, someone like me
(we can see we all are one)
Go find yourself, I guarantee
All lonely souls are so afraid to look around
And how could you judge
when you never took a look inside
(are you afraid to look inside) ...once?
There's a place where we can connect
We connect in ways we never imagine
imagine imagine imagine
I am the addendum to your world
where you feel that fear is strong
but it's my estimation that you'll soar
even higher than before
So (why can't we see we are one?)
go find someone, yourself in me
(we can see we all are one)
Go find yourself, I guarantee
Our lonely souls are so afraid to look around
And how could you judge
when you never took a look inside,
(are you willing to look inside) once?
There's a place where we can connect
(we connect in ways we never imagined)
There's a place where we can connect
(we connect in ways we never imagine)
There's a place There's a place where we... connect
We connect in ways we never imagine,
imagine, imagine, imagine,imagine

Matt Hollenberg - Drum Programming
Scott Radway - Drum Programming
_________________________________
Salut. You came too smug to care. To care.
What is this place where forever will never be gone?
I cannot stay. I want to go.
At last, you caved. I never knew your heart would beat the same,
As me. Love’s ebb and flow
And I couldn’t dream of another place where all the pain
would dissipate again ....
But still there’s nothing for you...
Vile Tyrant and the Middle men - Let’s get them out now!
And then we’ll sail away
Just enough to feel the shadow, And I fell into you
Just enough to feel the shadow, And I fell into truth
Blue skies fall..fall...yes falling down...
But don’t you always feel something pulling you?
Back from whence you came. It’s pulling you away.
Vile Tyrant and the Middle men - Let’s get them out now!
Mankind’s own insecurities; That’s why you corrupt us again
Vile Tyrant, a slumlord to their terrestrials
When the acceleration equals light and speed
and we awake in a dream state,
to access the space in our minds and fly
Low and behold, you’ve got me controlled
(Just enough to feel the shadow) You’ve got me, OH!
You’ve got me controlled, controlled.
You’ve got me controlled, oh You’ve got me controlled
You’ve got me controlled

Josh "Freshy" Cisario : Bass
_____________________________
Who gives you life, and who gives you depth,
When no one is around you?
I guess, you can remain trying to blame the elements around you
When you are wealth untapped
When I say: Give me the money, Give me the money
(price you pay) When it’s all that you can bring
Give me the money, Give me the money
(price you pay) There’s no use in being vain
Give me the money, Give me the money
(price you pay) And help you see the truth
Give me the money, Give me the money
(price you pay) ‘Cause your heart is wealthy too
Who lies to you more? You fear the unknown
When no-one’s there to stop you
And who... who can’t say yes to happiness
When jest is all around you?
When you are wealth untapped
When I say: Give me the money, Give me the money
(price you pay) When it’s all that you can bring
Give me the money, Give me the money
(price you pay) There’s no use in being vain
Give me the money, Give me the money
(price you pay) And help you see the truth
Give me the money, Give me the money
(price you pay) ‘Cause your heart is wealthy too
your heart is wealthy too, your heart is wealthy too
...the boy who has it all...builds a wall to separate...he built a
ladder too..., he can't even relax . so how can I believe the boy?

Josh "Freshy" Cisario : Bass
______________________________
I say you can breathe and send your light
When you're swallowed by doubt
and never give up, for promise comes your way
Just sit and stare like it's a game
I should have known, I should have grown sound
I sway in the wind free and you look up at me, sadly
Make your spirit see I can't be saved,
Not for, not for one of you
I love you, so you cry like you care
All I ever wanted can't be so grand,
while you sit and reprimand
I saw your shadows align it comes and goes
until you can breathe in the air,
for the savior's home but I'm never safe,
rather be alone.
swallowed, swallowed
I sway in the wind free and you look up at me,
until you can breath in the air
(make your spirit see) I can't be saved
Not for, not for one of you
I sway, I love you, and so I cry, still you fall
Still you never know (swallowed) if I should be trusted.
Some sound.
