Intro: The Strangest Place
The present is the strangest place
That I’ve ever been
The darkness and the sorrow
The fear is closing in
The future’s there for us to take
The loses and the gains
We reap the choices that we make
The pleasure and the pain
SHAPE SHIFTER
Shape Shifter!
You tell all the world everything it wants to hear
You say you’ll make a stand but it’s never really clear
You try to unearth secrets that nobody should ever know
You smile at our demise as your evil empire grows
Shape Shifter! Why?
Shape Shifter! Why?
You make promises that you never plan to keep
I see the bullshit rise now it’s getting way too deep
You try to undermine my beliefs. Does it make you feel,
Good about your pathetic life and all the things that you try to steal?
Shape Shifter! Why?
Shape Shifter! Why?
Shape Shifter! Why?
Shape Shifter! Please tell me why
You change yourself around to what we want to see
Have you ever known the real you or what you want to be?
All of my life I’ve stayed the course and tried to keep it true
I hope that my soul never falls to the virus that consumes you
You change your shape around
Put on your mask again
Give us the run around
Tell us that you’re our friend
You change your shape around
Put on your mask again
Give us the run around
Tell us that you’re our friend…Shape Shifter! Why?
Shape Shifter! Why?
Shape Shifter! Why?
You’re a Shape Shifter
You’re a Shape Shifter
You’re a Shape Shifter
Why do you change you’re fucking shape?
Change you’re fucking shape?
Change you’re fucking shape?
Get out of our face you fucking Shape Shifter!
Never Forget
You don’t know [the] pain you caused on that day
You don’t know [the] hate you spawned on that day
How could you follow through with your plan to destroy man?
Cowardice, prejudice partners in your plan….your plan
No
Lord and master of all that is a lie
Don’t you know that I see through your disguise?
And all your evil ways
They put me in a daze…..Yeah
Look into my eyes it’s you I despise
Every single day it won’t go away
No
Pull our strings and you watch us dance
But flirting with evil is a deadly romance
And all your evil ways
Well they put me in a daze….Yeah
Look into my eyes it’s you I despise
Every single day it won’t go away
Stop
It cannot be true
How the hell could you?
Stop
It cannot be true
How the hell could you?
I try and try every single day
But nothing changes things just stay the same
Come over here and you think that freedom’s free
But you can’t pull the freedoms out from under me
So why?
It cannot be true
How the hell could you?
Why?
It cannot be true
How the hell could you?
No
It cannot be true
How the hell could you?
No
It cannot be true
How the hell could you?
Why?
We will not forget
We will not forget
We will not forget
We will not forget
Never Forget
Look into my eyes it’s you I despise
Every single day it won’t go away
Yea
Look into my eyes it’s you I despise
Now
Every single day it won’t go away
Stop
It cannot be true
How the hell could you?
Stop
It cannot be true
How the hell could you?
Never
UNREST
Every time that you spit in my face
Every time you glare in distaste
Every time that I let you down
Every time my mind is not sound
Do you see that I’m trying my best?
Can’t you feel my state of unrest?
Aren’t you scared you’ll push me to the edge?
Mind will crumble and my eyes will see red
Feel my fear
Every thing that you want me to feel
Every thing that to me ain’t real
Every thing that I know I can’t be
Every thing that is alien to me
Do you think that I’ll pass this test?
Do I have a heart in my chest?
I’m so scared you’ll push me to the edge
Mind will crumble and my eyes will see red
Feel my fear
Am I sane?
The end is near
Tears will rain
Every time that you spit in my face
Every time you glare in distaste
Every time that I let you down
Every time my mind is not sound
Do you see that I’m trying my best?
Can’t you feel my state of unrest?
I’m so scared you’ll push me to the edge
Mind will crumble and my eyes will see red
Feel my fear
Am I sane?
The end is near
Tears will rain
Blood can kill
Thoughts can heal
Through my will
I can’t feelFeel my fear
Am I sane?
The end is near
Tears will rain
Feel my fear
Am I sane?
The end is near
Tears will rain
THIN RED LINE
You tried to warn me
You tried to tell me
How this would end
And now I lay here broken
You tried to warn me
You tried to tell me
How this would end
And now I lay here broken
So now I lay here broken
Try to understand that in my mind
The thread between Love and Hate is a Thin Red Line
I tried to find myself but I was never gone
It only ripped away everything that I’d worked on for so long
And now I lay here broken
Torn apart at the seams
Should have never spoken
When I took the plunge into this hole
It consumed my life and it ate my soul
I tried to find myself but I was never gone
It only ripped away everything that I’ve worked on for so long
And now I lay here broken
Torn apart at the seams
I should have never spoken
And now I lay here broken
Torn apart at the seams
I should have never spoken
‘
Cause now I lay here broken
And now I lay here broken
‘
Cause now I lay here broken, broken, broken
MANIPULATE
You don’t even care….Right?
You don’t think I see how you’re trying to manipulate me
I don’t know why people even let you inside
‘
Cause you don’t even care….Right?
All the lies you tell, you’re going to burn in hell
One day they’ll see then they’ll be as mad as me
That you don’t even care….Right?
What are you doing with your life?
Karma’s going to cut you like a knife
When it happens I don’t want to be around
‘
Cause I don’t need your bullshit bringing me down
What are you doing with your life?
Karma’s going to cut you like a knife
When it happens I don’t want to be around
‘
Cause I don’t need your bullshit bringing me down
At least I’ve got the common decency
To know what is right and wrong for me
One day, one day they’ll realize
That your life is nothing but a pile of lies
And you, you don’t even care
I said you, you don’t even care
What are you doing with your life?
Karma’s going to cut you like a knife
When it happens I don’t want to be around
‘
Cause I don’t need your bullshit bringing me down
At least I’ve got the common decency
To know what is right and wrong for me
One day, one day they’ll realize
That your life is nothing but a pile of lies
And you, you don’t even care
I said you, you don’t even care
You Manipulate
Manipulate
Manipulate
Manipulate
FAR AND WIDE
You know your mind will deceive you
You know your mind will try to lie
But when your mind tries to lead you
It’s time to cut the reigns and fly
You know your heart it can convince you
You know your heart will try to pull
You in directions of misfortune
And make you feel just like a fool
But then you’ll know
Far and Wide
No matter what
At least you tried
At least you tried
At least you triedYou know your thoughts will try to tell you
All the things you want to hear
And then the doubts they will consume you
And make it all seem so unclear
But then you’ll know
Far and Wide
No matter what
At least you tried
At least you tried
But then you’ll know
Far and Wide
No matter what
At least you tried
At least you tried
HUMAN STAIN
You see it everyday as our conscience slips away
The place we’re headed to is deadly
Watch it on the evening news another victim born to lose
The price we pay is much too costly
‘ Cause it boggles your mind and it fries your brain
Living through this daily pain
How much shit can one broken soul bare?
Just…Don’t…Try
Earth bares the Human Stain
All is lost with nothing gained
What is the ending to the story?
When everything is sexualized
Seen through a pervert’s eyes
What are the little children learning?
Just…Don’t…Try
Never try to understand why evil has the upper hand
Strangers in a foreign land, we’ve got front row seats to the end of man
Just…Don’t…Try
Never try to understand why evil has the upper hand
Strangers in a foreign land, we’ve got front row seats to the end of man
Never try to understand why evil has the upper hand
Strangers in a foreign land, we’ve got front row seats to the end of man
Just…Don’t…Try
Bow to your master, spiraling faster
Bow to your master, spiraling faster
Just…Don’t…Try
Never try to understand why evil has the upper hand
Strangers in a foreign land, we’ve got front row seats to the end of man
Never try to understand why evil has the upper hand
Strangers in a foreign land, we’ve got front row seats to the end of man
So don’t even try!!
HAPPENSTANCE
I look around and I can’t see you there
It makes me want to scream
I hold you in my arms when I’m asleep
‘ Cause I keep you with me in my dreams
When I see you out there in the dark and on your own
These thoughts chill me leave me feeling like I’ve lost control
I’ve lost control
Your memory every day it haunts me
And I can’t take this anymore
If I could change my life
Set back the hands of time
Could it be like it was before? No
When I see you out there in the dark and on your own
These thoughts chill me leave me feeling like I’ve lost control
One day you’ll see that I never really had a chance
Caught up, held down, left back, tragedy and Happenstance
Happenstance
When I think about your new found life
I hope that you’ll remember me
You are so far away
Feels just like yesterday
Please God help me make it right
I know the wrongs they cannot be undone
I hope my love is not in vain
One day I’ll have the chance to show you that I never,
I never wanted you to cry
Feeling like I’ve lost control
When I see you out there in the dark and on your own
These thoughts chill me leave me feeling like I’ve lost control
One day you’ll see that I never really had a chance
Caught up, held down, left back. tragedy and Happenstance
NOW AS I LEAVE
Now as I leave, leave you all behind
I can see my whole life and how I was so blind
Does the future hold the promise of some peace?
Will the lustful cravings be fought off with ease?
Serenity envelop me
Serenity envelop me
Serenity envelop me
Set me free
If we meet again will I have the strength?
Will I still hold the power to take this gift to length?
If ever I fall please help me to my feet
Bring me back to sanity, levity so sweet
Serenity envelop me
Serenity envelop me
Serenity envelop me
Set me free
Cumbersome but adapting to life in my new skin
Fears rush through my mind
Where do I begin?
Where do I begin?
All is well with God’s grace
He’ll show me the door
Lead me to a life of peace that was never known before
Serenity envelop me
Serenity envelop me
Serenity envelop me
Set me free
Serenity envelop me
Serenity envelop me
Serenity envelop me
Set me free |
