Cold Reality 04:33
If you truly believe that the good die young, Why do you think we’re still here? We’re falling further and further from all the simple truths, From the ones that we held dear Disappointment and despair flood the streets, There’s no high ground I can see Eventually, we’ll drown. We’re all tethered to This cold reality We’re controlled by common criminals Lying and killing in the service of the charlatans Seated at the right hand of a glorified thief Taking everything that’s left from the beggars’ hands We know the answers to the questions But we will never understand the reasons why We’ve been stranded in the cold and left to rot I paid my debt to the collector but God knows I’m never getting mine Divided we stand, united we fall Divided we stand, just to kill them all In the land of the free, we’re all still enslaved This is not what we came here for This is not what we came here for Ten thousand years, and nothing has changed The world moves on, but we’re resigned to stay the same We’ll never change

Nothing’s changed in all this time The snow still falls like it always has But everyone you know is moving on You were only hero to few The rest forgot as quickly as you left And the ones that you love are already gone The world has stolen everything you had But you long to return I . . . I am sorry You gave up everything to keep us alive

Burn Out 03:06
And now it all comes out I’ve faked a smile for far too long Say you’ve been living hard But don’t earn what you fucking own I’m losing touch I’m giving up now You took your cup and you filled it with more than it could hold Now it’s overflowed; it’s spilling onto every soul But all your failures, they’re always out of your control Cursing everyone you know and asking them for more Six years and counting (as it stands) You can’t catch a break You broadcast your pain to the world But it just don’t change a thing Don’t know how we wound up here I only hope it’s not too late to see you dig your own grave You said that no one understands Gonna run away Get as far as you fucking can Then you fell to your knees, Looked to the sky and said, “Dear God, where have you gone, And everyone I never really knew? I’m losing touch I’m giving up on you.” Our flame is burning out It’s fading fast, and I don’t know if we will last I’m losing touch I’m giving up

There’s a house at the end of the road It’s been beaten down; it’s been empty for years, But it’s still filled with thoughts of the people who have lived there So just find another vice to occupy your precious little time You’ll find a reason for everything, but I promise you God’s not responsible What’s it gonna be today? You know you can’t make any of this last through tonight The ghosts of those who left are here to stay The happy ending is replaced by pain Now you’re standing on the edge Just waiting for Death to make his claim Dip your feet into the water, and remember how it used to feel If you could only get just one more taste, well then what? This is all that you have left; this is all that you’ll ever know This is all that you have left, so why don’t you just pull the plug This is all that you have left; this is all that you’ll ever know This is all that you have left, so why don’t you just pull the plug The ghosts of those who left are here to stay The happy ending is replaced by pain Now you’re standing on the edge Just waiting for Death to make his claim Oh, what a tragedy; the lies have become reality You’ve suspended your disbelief, and there’s nothing left to see Now the spotlight is on you, but the crowd has gone away Rest your head in the dirt; I’m sure it will keep you warm for tonight

Bury Me 03:44
I can’t keep all this in my head I’m dying trying to forget Bury what’s left of the truth that you Carried all these years It will never be like it was So I’m begging you just to stay here The memory is all that I have left, And I’m just trying to be the better man It’s not the way that I want to see you, But I am getting so used to that face I swear it kills me every day Oh, explain to me how this is not insanity In the night, we lived under A different light, and our hearts, They would align and fall out again As the sun came up, as the sun came up . . . We have never been the same since then It’s not the way that I want to see you, But I am getting so used to that face I swear it kills me every day I know I’ve fucked up. I know I’ve let down Everyone who's put any faith in me I just wish that I could see clearly When we wake up in the morning, We will find that we are different people Than we were before We cannot keep living this way Bury me; we'll pretend to forget Bury me; never speak of this I can’t keep all this in my head I’m dying trying to forget
