Album Lyrics
1. False Awakening Suite
(Instrumental)
2. The Enemy Inside
Over and over again I relive the moment,
I’m bearing the burden within,
open wounds hidden under my skin.
Pain is real as a cut that bleeds,
the face I see every time I try to
sleep staring at me crying.
I’m running from the enemy inside,
looking for the life I left behind.
These suffocating memories
are etched upon my mind.
And I can’t escape
from the enemy inside.
I sever myself from the world
and shut down completely.
All alone in my own living Hell,
overcome with irrational fear.
Under the weight of
the world on my chest,
I buckle and break as I
try to catch my breath.
Tell me I’m not dying!
I’m running from the enemy inside,
looking for the life I left behind.
These suffocating memories
are etched upon my mind.
And I can’t escape
from the enemy inside.
I’m a burden, I’m a travesty,
I’m a prisoner of regret.
Between the flashbacks
and the violent dreams,
I am hanging on the edge.
Disaster lurks around the bend,
paradise came to an end,
and no magic pill can
bring it back again.
I’m running from the enemy inside,
looking for the life I left behind.
These suffocating memories
are etched upon my mind.
And I can’t escape
from the enemy inside.
3. The Looking Glass
I would not expect you
felt alone in standing north,
better to rise above the clouds
than be a stranger in the crowd.
All that you protected
doesn’t matter anymore,
rather be stripped of all your pride
than watch your dreams be cast aside.
You are caught up
in your gravity.
Glorifying stardom,
singing your own praise.
You live without shame,
you’re digging up a gold mine.
Standing on the sidelines,
watching through a looking glass.
You are not content with
being nameless and unknown.
Trying to rise above the fray,
eager to give it all away.
Some will not admit that
fifteen minutes have expired.
Too much attention much too soon,
don’t see you walking on the moon.
You are caught up
in your gravity.
Bathing in the spotlight,
imitating fame.
You live without shame,
you’re digging up a gold mine.
Standing on the sidelines,
watching through a looking glass.
You are caught up
in your gravity.
Glorifying madness,
singing your own praise.
You live without shame,
you’re digging up a gold mine.
Standing on the sidelines,
watching through a looking glass.

5. The Bigger Picture
Long before the colors start to bleed
I can see the painting come alive,
clever like an angel in disguise
moving in and out of reach.
If the candle lights this crooked path
like a lighthouse peering through the haze,
I will find the river through the rain
and I’ll reach the water’s edge.
Shed your light on me,
be my eyes when I can’t see.
Shed your light on me,
be my guide so I can see
the bigger picture.
Prophecy’s a blessing and a curse!
Like a moth burned by the
fire and driven to the flame,
I must bear this cross alone,
there’s no one else to blame.
With each treasure found
another shipwreck’s washed ashore,
I am carried by the current
on a slow and steady course.
Shed your light on me,
be my eyes when I can’t see.
Shed your light on me,
be my guide so I can see
the bigger picture.
What if caught in a moment
I get lost and can’t find my way?
What if all along I was wrong
in every turn, in every way?
Would you talk me off the
ledge or let me take the fall?
Better to try and fail than
to never try at all!
You look but cannot see,
talk but never speak.
You live but cannot breathe,
see but don’t believe.
Wounds that never heal,
a heart that cannot feel.
A dream that’s all too real,
a stare as cold as steel.
I’ve listened to the stories
of resentment and disdain.
I’ve looked into the empty eyes
of anger, fear, and shame.
I’ve taken blood from every
stone and traveled every road!
When I see the distant lights illuminate
the night then I will know I am home.
6. Behind the Veil
What would possess you to
justify such dark and twisted ways?
What kind of monster would come to
feast when the Devil shows his face?
What does it take for life to change
and a mind to lose control?
Cruelly left you to suffer the blame
after all the lies you told.
I am finding courage
in my darkest hour.
I am bent not broken,
calling out.
Someone save me,
look behind the veil.
Please don’t walk away!
Someone save me,
bring me home tonight.
I can’t face another day!
Can you see the stranger
hiding in plain sight?
Feeding on the chaos
when the lightning strikes.
There’s no redemption,
there’s no being saved,
there’s no salvation
for a soul depraved.
You are finding promise
in your finest hour.
You are bent not broken,
calling out.
Someone save me,
look behind the veil.
Please don’t walk away!
Someone save me,
bring me home tonight.
I can’t face another day!
7. Surrender to Reason
In moments of pain
where heart and mind collide,
self-reflection helps me decide.
I believe the sacrifices in life
give more than they take.
Visions flowing slowly shedding light,
memories swimming in the sea of time.
Pieces to the puzzle falling into place,
that with which we struggle through
we’ve learned to embrace.
Love show the way,
alter my state of mind,
wash away the sorrow.
Grace lead the way,
when boundaries are found,
surrender to reason.
Life gives you brighter days
through sacrifices made,
my spirit travels like
the wind and waves.
My heart and mind unite,
mistakes resolved give sight.
The river’s current
slowly turns the stone.
Love show the way,
alter my state of mind,
wash away the sorrow.
Grace lead the way,
when boundaries are found,
surrender to reason.
Restless angels
help me find my way.
Restless angels
help me find my strength.
Restless angels
help me find my way.
Restless angels
let love show the way.
Let grace be the way,
surrender to reason.
8. Along for the Ride
At this moment words fail me
and my vision’s unclear,
blind to the truth like hands
reaching out in the darkness.
I can’t stop the world from turning around,
or the pull of the moon on the tide.
But I don’t believe that we’re in this alone,
I believe we’re along for the ride.
I believe we’re along for the ride.
Through the gift of surrender
I’m embracing the fight.
Breaking the code,
there’s clarity on the horizon.
I can’t stop the world from turning around,
or the pull of the moon on the tide.
But I don’t believe that we’re in this alone,
I believe we’re along for the ride.
I believe we’re along for the ride.
I will not live under a shadow of fear,
never be crippled by chaos and doubt.
Fall prey to your madness!
I am not shattered, out of the ashes I rise,
knowing that nothing is stronger than faith.
Finding hope in our hopeless lives!
I can’t stop the world from turning around,
or the pull of the moon on the tide.
But I don’t believe that we’re in this alone,
I believe we’re along for the ride.
I believe we’re along for the ride.

II. Live, Die, Kill
Consider this question,
look deep inside,
deliver a true confession.
What are you willing to live for?
Consider this question,
open your eyes,
examine your own reflection.
What are you willing to die for?
When your back’s against the wall
and your time’s uncertain!
Consider this question,
no standing by.
When flesh and blood are threatened,
what are you willing to kill for?
We seek to understand,
we cry with hand in hand.
The bridges we build to connect,
the distance that makes us forget.
Hate dividing us, love reminding
us of our shared humanity.
Hope can be a shadow fleeting,
I would rather die believing.
Capture it all in a final act of faith!
We seek to understand,
we cry with hand in hand.
A story that needs to be told,
an answer that begs to be found.
The beauty we wish to behold
is never too far away.
III. The Embracing Circle
(Instrumental)
IV. The Pursuit Of Truth
Mothers for their children,
husbands for their wives.
Martyrs for the kingdom
fighting for your life.
A soldier for his country,
a junkie for the high.
Teachers for their students,
vengeance for a crime.
Rebels for their freedom,
a tyrant for the prize.
Cowards for salvation,
money, love, and faith.
Noble embrace,
lay down our lives
for the cause.
Death over shame,
grace before glory.
V. Surrender, Trust & Passion
To really feel the joy in life
you must suffer through the pain.
When you surrender to the light
you can face the darkest days.
If you open up your eyes
and you put your trust in love,
on those cold and endless nights
you will never be alone.
Passion glows within your heart
like a furnace burning bright.
Until you struggle through the dark
you’ll never know that you’re alive.
Never know,
know that you’re alive!
You’ll never know!
