Conflict Internal: The disillusion is profound, And the chains are on too tight. It's easier to be the villian, Than the righteous guardian. The whispers of your prodigy, And the rumours of your fall, Haunt the steps you no longer control. You're about to lose it all. The fight is within you, (Within you) The choice is in your hands, Provokes the Lucifer within you, (Within you) The great know when you fight The conflict internal The conflict internal Your aspirations for greatness, Have turned a gift into a curse. The boundaries you once accepted, Are like a torn down fence. Keeping the good within it, As the wicked roam beyond. Your smile so sinister, I can't reach you now. At what point did I lose you, Stranger of unknown intentions? The winds of change weigh on you, And your eyes gleam an odd spark. Let go of the hate that binds you, To thoughts so cruel and strange. Let go of the judgment Ignite the fire untainted The fight is within you, (Within you) The choice is in your hands, Provokes the Lucifer within you, (Within you) The great know when you fight The conflict internal The conflict internal MAKE YOUR CHOICE!

Replica 03:30
Replica: When you disapprove of me, Do you recite the same words that you've heard before? The ones that pierced you in the heart And tore your self-esteem apart. When you yell at me, Do you yell as someone yelled at you? The words that brought you to your knees, Praying for escape from these anxieties. Do you reach for me as no one reached for you? ... As no one reached for you? When I look at you I can barely recognize your face The darkened doppelganger of the one I've grown to love and grown to hate You! Are drowning your future by reliving your past Take a step back, and take a breath And look at the replica you've become When you get mad at me, Are you really mad at me? Or do you yearn to undo your deterioration, Caused by imitation. When you hate me, Is it because you hate who you've become to me? The replica of what you adhorred, The repitition of history that cause our war. Do you reach for me as no one reached for you? ... As no one reached for you? When I look at you I can barely recognize your face The darkened doppelganger of the one I've grown to love and grown to hate You! Are drowning your future by reliving your past Take a step back, and take a breath And look at the replica you've become When I look at you I can barely recognize your face The darkened doppelganger of the one I've grown to love and grown to hate You! Are drowning your future by reliving your past Take a step back, and take a breath And look at the replica you've become

The Vow 04:32
The Vow: At some point in our lives, We all think that we'd die for someone The Someone, the One. (But) when it comes down to the moment, To make that promise... declare your love, If death came knocking at your door, Would you still honour that vow? Would you still price your life as less than mine? Now I recognize, You weren't worthy of my time, Helped me to get over... your thousand lies. Once I vowed to protect you, to guard your core Now I realize... I realize you don't deserve me. At some point on our paths, We all think there's no colour in the world without the One (But) When I call out, need you the most, To put at last our love to the test, Would you Still honour that vow? Would you still find your needs less important than mine? Now I recognize, You weren't worthy of my time, Helped me to get over... your thousand lies. Once I vowed to protect you, to guard your core Now I realize... I realize you don't deserve me. You punish me for being naive, And hid yourself so well. That even I.. in all my pride, In all my pleasure, Couldn't see, That wicked radiance in your eyes, Wasn't out of your love for me, But your desire to destroy me. I herby break my vow! I herby forsake my pledge! Now I recognize, You weren't worthy of my time, Helped me to get over... your thousand lies. Once I vowed to protect you, to guard your core Now I realize... Now I recognize, You weren't worthy of my time, Helped me to get over... your thousand lies. Once I vowed to protect you, to guard your core Now I realize... I realize you don't deserve me. I herby break my vow! I herby forsake my pledge!

Everlost 04:31
Everlost: Can I hold on forever To a person who never was Can I hold myself together For a dying dream and a lost cause I once relied on you To always pull me through But now I’ve discovered you Were never the one I thought I knew I lived a lie To avoid reality To face the fact I’d die For the one that you could never be I wish you’d never shown The part of you that couldn’t know me The side that left me on my own And thought it would be fine to throw me Away Therapy and affirmations I forced myself to follow All just a confirmation That I’ll always know this sorrow When I grew up and spoke the truth You thought to tie the noose Around my neck, that I trusted you To take the time to remove I lived a lie To avoid reality To face the fact I’d die For the one that you could never be I wish you’d never shown The part of you that couldn’t know me The side that left me on my own And thought it would be fine to throw me Away Why can’t you be real A pretty face should lead me to a pretty mind At your beck and call, I would kneel But you’re a deceiver And I’m a believer That this world belongs to those who are kind I lived a lie To avoid reality To face the fact I’d die For the one that you could never be I wish you’d never shown The part of you that couldn’t know me The side that left me on my own And thought it would be fine to throw me Away

A Day Like Any Other: A day like Any other A walk in my old skin To have been any other Than there When I shouldn't have been The minutes fade away On this unforgiving day I don't know where I'll go Yesterday I was so full of grace I was ready to take on the world Ressurect the one Gone from inside of me Back to a day Before this misery A distorted picture of life Born that day Did I have to be the one, Without a choice, without a warning To have it all Taken away? Taken for granted The dawn of the new sun The promise of a new day A chance to open my eyes To a better world Fate, your wrath so cruel I wasn't ready for this The hours Pass through the glass As the sand slips through These shaking fingers It was a day like Any other Just a day like any other The golden cord cut short before the time Did I have to be the one, Without a choice, without a warning To have it all Taken away? All the things that I wont know The experiences I'll miss What I wouldn't give to be any other Then there when I shouldn't have been A step or two too short From escaping This unsought destiny Dreams of the future, the events to come Did I have to be the one, Without a choice, without a warning To have it all Taken away?

Secrets and ambiguities hidden well, They come to be known when you least expect it Holding power through lack of knowledge, Words have passed your lips and you can’t resurrect it Mystery, the makeup for your personality, Shrouds you in a veil of disillusion Speaking in riddles and acting so passive, It laces my mind with such confusion I wonder if, I’ll ever know What makes you tick, what lets you go Why do we hide both fear and elation Running from our last chances for salvation No one understands what we feel inside, So we give up on feelings and trust only our minds What makes you run when I open doors You act as if I’m someone that isn’t deserving I’m not your conscience, I won’t leave you guilty But taking shots in the dark can be so unnerving Is it fear of my judgments or the urge to conceal That makes you think you should raise your guard You read me cover to cover, you know I’m real Yet now I’ve been tossed to the end of your shelf You make it so hard, to figure me out Littering my mind with the greatest of doubts Why do we hide both fear and elation Running from our last chances for salvation No one understands what we feel inside, So we give up on feelings and trust only our minds I’ll burn the pages That told the world not to bend our spines, Crooked backs are the least of our worries If no one ever reads again Why do we hide both fear and elation Running from our last chances for salvation No one understands what we feel inside, So we give up on feelings and trust only our minds

Reflections 04:05
Reflections: Don’t come so close, It’s pushing me away. You touch foreign, Creating a feeling in me, A fear so deep. My center unsettled; It’s overcoming me. The more you try, The farther I run. To escape the ghosts, The memoirs of us united. I sustain these walls, To protect what’s left, The pieces of me, Among the shattered mirrors. To look at you and see, This endeavour’s more than over. You beg me to believe, In words unable To mend a broken faith. A task I’m unwilling to undertake Because you can’t undo… (The) Doubts you’ve harvested within me. On opposing sides we stand, The broken mirrors among us. The memories so unkind. Why can’t we just start over. To forget the reasons why, We stand where we stand. Among the broken mirrors, Scattered among us. To look at you and see, This endeavour’s more than over. You beg me to believe, In words unable To mend a broken faith. A task I’m unwilling to undertake Because you can’t undo… (The) Doubts you’ve harvested within me. To look in your eyes and see, The foundations more than shattered. Too far gone to believe In the aspirations of yesterday.
