Tension 05:22
The time has come It’s difficult to say The ground is loose And yesterday’s tomorrow day Escape, release while you have your mind Let go, discard, these emotions bind Find meaning now You have this time ponder Hindrance collides Keep courage, tightly fight, wander Escape, release while you have your mind Let go, discard, these emotions bind I was alone, tension found me Shown was the path, peace sought freely Gift to the heart, wisdom broadened History held, endless heal The time has come, the has come to flee Forgiveness kept, while forgiving is not for free Be gone, be gone from this captive state Be free, your life is your own to hate I was alone, tension found me Shown was the path, peace sought freely Refresh your hearts eye, cleanse all your hatred Time to be Quiet your mind, you have strength you’ll see Pull your pride, release what you can’t foresee

The Build 04:02
Insure, be clear the winter spreads Hold firm, insist that greed isn’t dead Truest form timing will not be true Fall to sleep, the reverence is askew Pretend, seemly kind and just Defend, silence is safe and a must But the guilt, eats away every thought And denial is justification bought Patrons of crooked lies Cannot heed wicked eyes Actions though seemingly kind at first Soon, will reveal the filth of thirst It shows, the weakness cannot hide The slip, suspicions slow with the slide It’s revealed, true nature consumes mask Now alone, head will soon take to task Patrons of crooked lies Cannot heed wicked eyes Actions though seemingly kind at first Soon, will reveal the filth of thirst Empathy escapes the brightest stars Kindness is found in the mason jars

Lessons in time Hold your coarse to the line And rescind ev’ry action in kind Balance is key When it’s had for a fee But timing once held high Falls from trees Hands across melted snow Soon will be cursed Tragedy burns your pride It Kills your thirst Bringing your grit Is your last line to hit And turns words into poison dry spit You try your hand But you can’t feel the sand And hardship only Gathers up in your craw for your soul to become canned Hands across melted snow Soon will be cursed Tragedy burns your pride It Kills your thirst I was the last one in your orbit That walked on eggs for reasons That I wish to forget Sudden and everlasting blisters Can never heal with honor Without lost debt I bend I break But I’m still here In time, I’ll heal I’ll shed all fear

Time fades in space senses lost Until you’re here Gone is meaning, Gone my sight My veneer I regret forgotten depth held Until you’re here Eyes glow sharp with a smile of meadows Vibrant skies warm inside Tired and worn out is the heart The pain is clear Time approaches its lost hour bleak Until you’re here Eyes glow sharp with a smile of meadows Vibrant skies warm inside Soon dismissed are the daunting shadows You are here, peace resides

Disarmed 04:24
The witness talks These false wishes Now the guard drops But then the shroud is cast On this hate Bind refusal for regard Eventless mocking of the harmless daily path And insane trimming of the once forbidden wrath Intense and sadistic musings soon will be forgone The timing of flightless senses then to be as none In the eyes of tender findings I can see the listless kind On the minds of fearful tidings I can feel the years of harsh minds The grinder breaks Losing its mind Harm has come to us It cuts to hear the words Never there Once a feeble thought so distant The petty hind’ring ticking of my fleeting shell Resulting ageless longing present day rebel Forgetting the service that was once so paramount Remembering shelters giving fear with or without In the eyes of tender findings I can see the listless kind On the minds of fearful tidings I can feel the years of harsh minds Lost are all my weapons for my heart’s defense Damaged is the shield for my mind’s pretense Retreated my guard has been turned to spare dust Disarmed is the weapon of mass distrust In the eyes of tender findings I can see the listless kind On the minds of fearful tidings I can feel the years of harsh minds

Outsider 02:56
I feel like the harm is just as well intended Find the tenderness and you’ll survive the challenge Lose the hateful tide that washes clear the structure Hurt will disappear and be replaced with balance Sanitation runs away from disengagement Yielding precious bounty and forgiven hatred Sending us to learn from all the past shortcomings Pushing pulling strength to which the noise is mated Cursing hands to adjust Giving strength to discuss Harbinger of harsh cuts Outsider among us Once the harm is felt we can’t escape the damage Time to pull the cord and just rely on instinct When there’s loss abound and there’s no time to react Give it all your worth, but stay within your precinct Cursing hands to adjust Giving strength to discuss Harbinger of harsh cuts Outsider among us The outsider has taken Our human side of making We must resist

Slowly picking the bones Surgically he performs Sounds and flash, betray the tone Words alone won’t keep warm As he stares into his past sins His refusal begins Time is passing like stones Rough and course scrape his might Not long now, behold the truth Methods soon will pull tight As he stares into his past sins Hardly bright within Faced with truth, he must join With all his shameful kin Now the pressure grows thick Hardly time left to flee He becomes engorged and sick Born of hatred is he As he stares into his past sins Hardly bright within Faced with truth, he must join With all his shameful kin The frown, The crown The gown, The clown

Trapped 04:15
Inside what seems a lonely shell Lies a soul crying out Finding light in a darkened cell Beauty is hardly what’s left to find In its purest the soul has clout For now it’s not quite sure it knows what’s there Grinding, scraping left to gray doubt Informing, alarming inside there is life to spare Through the shield, through the pain Lies a lost beauty within Those who know, those with main Brick walls must be paper thin Show yourself, hide no more Grant as if it means your life Hold the light, tend the store Silence will not pull the knife Deepest pain is held in so well And scars open up with the slightest sigh Stark denial no longer quells The longing, the safety, there is no when who or why Through the shield, through the pain Lies a lost beauty within Those who know, those with main Brick walls must be paper thin Show yourself, breath of life Fear must be shunned and abhorred Grace abound, cast the strife Empathy must be the sword

Lost rebuild Decisive shock Desire for harsh Construction lock Restrictive heads Controlling find Manipulate intent Repay in kind Animus felt Binding grudge Forget yourself Empathy Judge Hindering health Mindless caress You unleash your beast Destructive Intent Send your sigh Destroy the heart Assist your hate No longer a part What once belonged Is now lost time This ten-fold gap Your life defined How is this desire Where is the self One removes depth From off the shelf Hindering health Mindless caress You unleash your beast Destructive Intent
10.
In the vast misconceptions of painful recourse The chief analyst corrects She exclaims the judge has already forced But that hope can exist and create in one’s spirit clean text Until now we had hoped that the pain would only be fleeting Patience is key as we wade through struggling skies without meanin
11.
The End 04:44
Sometimes the show will not portend the true game Until it does Silence can’t be shame Until it must Kindred spirits are these Resentment and disease And falling to one knee Are the witnesses to this decree Including me All the paths are set with charms Pretensions falter The chosen route is one that harms It won’t alter Just this once It won’t become again Can’t refute What’s here, what’s been In this the time, that joined are crimes and constant echo The hardship is the only element engrained There’s piece of mind But it’s fleeting at it’s very core Results are coming quickly Solutions once misguided The kind that soon will determine if cause was just or tort And in the end the will dies But will can soon be reborn At last it is here, the time While sleeping soundly Is stricken through its jealous eye But hardly seen Just this once It won’t become again Can’t refute What’s here, what’s been It’s over now, the last of what was thought to be right The foolish ones had once been told it would not die The truth revealed So hard to turn and catch the fly Results are coming quickly Solutions once misguided The kind that soon will determine if cause was just or tort And in the end the will dies But will can soon be reborn The end has placed a burden Upon the cold one's footsteps A present rough encounter Just and true for all who care less Behold the chance before you An opportunity hence To fight and live with the end Lacking any firm resistance
