1. Fighting the Decree |
   playpause | lyrics

   Fighting the Decree

   I am awake - fall asleep
   I originate - repeat
   Shadow my eyes - ignite
   Loosen your ties - hold tight

   We're ready for today
   I'm asking you to trust me
   Get rid of your dismay
   We're fighting the decree

   Come on down
   Come on down - I'm waiting
   Come on down
   Come on down - we're waiting

   Get ready for today
   I'm asking you to trust me
   Get rid of your dismay
   We're fighting the decree

   I am awake - fall asleep
   I originate - repeat

2. In Dreams |
   playpause | lyrics

   In Dreams

   I have an iridescent retrospective behind my eyes
   Representing diction, painted through this disguise
   I'd like to follow you, but I can't leave my mind
   I'm not free when you leave me behind

   In dreams
   You're wasting me, dictator
   Ask them where they're going
   And catch up later

   I've got a semi-automatic pistol touching my head
   I'm handcuffed to this chair, and he laughed as he said
   "It'll be over soon." And I wake up screaming - to you!
   He kisses my head, and said it was all.

   In dreams
   You're wasting me, dictator
   Ask them where they're going
   And catch up later

   That's not you, and that's not me
   An empty truth is all we see
   That's not you, and that's not me
   Finding truth is our destiny

   In dreams
   In dreams.
   Ask them where they're going
   And catch up later

3. Sandstorm |
   playpause | lyrics

   Sandstorm

   You're tracking a sandstorm and seeking the answer
   I'm here, I'm here
   In light of what happened, you sift through the ashes
   Come here, come here

   And all you ever stood for is all you'll ever stand for

   A way through, and I will be
   You're weighed down by all that you pretend to be
   A way through, and I will be your way out

   He casts his own shadow with lightless companions
   Stand out, stand out
   Releases the fire that smolders inside her
   Get out, get out

   And all we cannot stand for is all that we demand for

   A way through, and I will be
   You're weighed down by all that you pretend to be
   A way through, and I will be your way out

   Although I can reach him, it's out of my hands
   The control he is seeking resides in his hands

   A way through, and I will be
   You're weighed down by all that you pretend to be
   A way through, and I will be your way out

4. Spiral Down |
   playpause | lyrics

   Spiral Down

   A break in the sentence
   Sighing as you roll your eyes
   Do I make you bored?
   A bit on the defense
   Lying; you say "Everything's fine"
   But this can't be ignored

   I never wanted to be
   We never spoke fluently
   Our words just spiral down
   You held power over me
   I held the need to be free
   It's sad; it's over now.

   I don't know how you ever talked me into that;
   My life was pretend
   Reality was lost from sight
   I won't be standing by you when the world ends
   That was a long night.

   If you follow me I will bring you down
   'Cause we'll never be the same
   If you follow me I will let you down
   We will never be again

   I never wanted to be
   We never spoke fluently
   Our words just spiral down
   It's time for me to be free
   I wasn't there; that's not me!
   I'm glad it's over now.

   A break in the sentence
   Sighing as you roll your eyes
   Do I make you bored?

5. Uncharted |
   playpause | lyrics

   Uncharted

   Uncharted, masochistic
   This land is suffering
   We aim to rock statistics
   We aim at everything

   Don't blame me now
   It's all on you
   Don't blame me now
   Scratch it out; pull it out!

   And it's the only way that we can never say
   And it's the only way I want it

   Stale mattress, old suspicions
   Recite my comforting
   We blame their thought prescriptions
   We're blaming everything

   The hate within
   It's all on you
   Beneath your skin
   Scratch it out; pull it out!

   And it's the only way that we can never say
   And it's the only way I want it

   Daughter, will you follow?
   Can you see the signs?
   Stop pretending you control this life
   Stop pretending

   Uncharted, masochistic
   This land is suffering
