Light of Day 03:16
In this precious moment I see My days are all the same Taxing your personalities Let’s see what they gain Fall out of line with a life so dire Shake up the status, and never lose face Shattered my mind, the portrayer of liars You’ve never seen the light of day A trip for your heart and mind (And mind) Nowhere you want to go (To go) It’s not here that you might find Last hope, or no show Fall out of line with a life so dire Shake up the status, and never lose face Shattered my mind, the portrayer of liars You’ve never seen the light of day My jaded dreams are where you tread As lonesome as it is Hallucinations in my head Can’t help but remiss Fall out of line with a life so dire Shake up the status, and never lose face Shattered my mind, the portrayer of liars You’ve never seen the light of day Fall out of line with a life so dire Shake up the status, and never lose face Shattered my mind, the portrayer of liars You’ve never seen the light of day Fall out of line with a life so dire Shake up the status, and never lose face Shattered my mind, the portrayer of liars You’ve never seen the light of day

I, I said I wouldn’t go, It’s It’s bringing out the savage side of me, And I don’t wanna know, About that time And I will make you see That the strongest survive And I will change your heart When the rivers run gold You, you said you wouldn’t go, You’re You’re bringing out the savage side of me, And you don’t wanna know, About that time And I will make you see That the strongest survive And I will change your heart When the rivers run gold They say it’s just a cause (casual causality) They say it’s just a flaw (casual causality) They’re pulling out the clause Breaking everything we work for They say it’s just a cause (casual causality) They say it’s just a flaw (casual causality) They’re pulling out the clause Breaking everything we hold dear They say it’s just a cause (casual causality) They say it’s just a flaw (casual causality) They’re pulling out the clause Breaking everything we work for They say it’s just a cause (casual causality) They say it’s just a flaw (casual causality) They’re pulling out the clause Breaking everything we hold dear And I will make you see That the strongest survive And I will change your heart When the rivers run gold

As I live out my life It feels like someone else Someone else’s dream As I live out my days It feels like someone else Has lived them for me As I wake up at night I’m plagued by someone else Watching over me As the day comes to light My vessel’s sailing in Returning it to me Out of body respite Lulling my mind Elevate my (Sense of security) Spend one day of my life From the outside Looking at me When I throw out my pride I’m saved by someone else As time erases me As I sit by my side I’m lost by someone else They’re searching for me Out of body respite Lulling my mind Elevate my (Sense of security) Stay one hour and leave Just do as you please Drifting at sea Out of body respite Lulling my mind Elevate my (Sense of security) Stay one hour and leave Just do as you please Drifting at sea Out of body respite Lulling my mind Elevate my (Sense of security) Here one minute and gone It won’t be long ‘Till it’s all the same Out of body respite Lulling my mind Elevate my (Sense of security) Here one minute and gone It won’t be long ‘Till it’s all the same

Today’s the day, where nothing gets solved Stealing away, not reaching my goals I want to stay, it’s taking its toll I’ve gone astray, with nothing to show Procrastination, is on vacation, my destination is escaping me New Sensations, and my contemplations, where my breathing place comes to be The matinee, like acting in droves Join in the fray, not speaking in tones Put into play, but fighting the flow I’ll find my way, just wading through snow Procrastination, is on vacation, my destination is escaping me New Sensations, and my contemplations, where my breathing place comes to be Today’s the day, where nothing gets solved (Breathing place comes to be) The matinee, like acting in droves (Breathing place comes to be) Today’s the day, where nothing gets solved (Breathing place comes to be) The matinee, like acting in droves (Breathing place comes to be)

In a position of power The corruption takes hold It’s expositions free to spread I'm just another untouchable lowlife The acclimation will scour Illumination deep in me The reaching shadows where we tread I'm just another unchainable lowlife Losing sight of my intentions, I Have become, truly lost I Don't know what else I can do Don't know who else I can turn to In the transition of power The fixation takes hold Irradiated to its effects I'm just another unbearable lowlife The occupation will scour The hearts of people just like me Oh, we're created by life's defects I'm just another Unbreakable lowlife Losing sight of my intentions, I Have become, truly lost I Don't know what else I can do Don't know who else I can turn to Elusive dreams and memories, are No cure for this disease I Don't know what else I can do Don't know who else I can turn to Losing sight of my intentions, I Have become, truly lost I Don't know what else I can do Don't know who else I can turn to Elusive dreams and memories, are No cure for this disease I Don't know what else I can do Don't know who else I can turn to I’m losing sight of, my intentions Have I become, truly lost? I’m losing sight of, my intentions Have I become, truly lost?

Retrospect 03:40
I wanna leave technology Time moves too fast for me When will the ending be? Standing inside of mind (In retrospect) Contemplating my life (In Retrospect) Drifting outside of mine (In retrospect) Aggravating the time (In retrospect) (In retrospect) (In retrospect) My mind’s drifting to the past How much longer can I last? When life moves on so fast Standing inside of mind (In retrospect) Contemplating my life (In Retrospect) Drifting outside of mine (In retrospect) Aggravating the time (In retrospect) (In retrospect) (In retrospect)

Scrolling through these lives Tethered to our devices A simple tap to satisfy Grab your phone kid It's a one-way ticket to a life of gold You Earn your money and throw it away You can’t face the world today Sometimes I feel the future shock Somehow, I gotta get away Let’s tell the kids destroy It ain’t about you anyway Each life is always on the clock It’s time, to bring those engines down Let's tell the kids destroy It ain't about you anyway Plugging in our lives Anchored by our status A feeling that intensifies Post your thoughts kid Kick back and shout what’s wrong today (Hey!) You Earn your money and throw it away Is that all you’ve got to say? Sometimes I feel the future shock Somehow, I gotta get away Let’s tell the kids destroy It ain’t about you anyway Each life is always on the clock It’s time, to bring those engines down Let's tell the kids destroy It ain't about you anyway Sometimes I feel the future shock Somehow, I gotta get away Tell the kids destroy It ain’t about you anyway Each life is always on the clock It’s time, to bring those engines down Tell the kids destroy It ain't about you anyway
