"Over Now"

"Good Night..."
Yeah, it's over now, but I can breathe somehow
When it's all worn out, I'd rather go without

You know its been on my mind
Could you stand right there
Look me straight in the eye and say
That it's over now

We pay our debt sometime

Well it's over now, yet I can see somehow
When its all gone wrong, it's hard to be so strong

You know its been on my mind
Could you stand right there
Look me straight in the eye and say
That it's over now

We pay our debt sometime
Yeah, we pay our debt sometime
We pay our debt sometime
Yeah, we pay our debt sometime

Guess it's over now, I seem alive somehow
When it's out of sight, just wait and do your time

You know its been on my mind
Could I stand right here
Look myself in the eye and say
That it's over now

We pay our debt sometime
Yeah, we pay our debt sometime
We pay our debt sometime
Yeah, we pay our debt sometime

Black Gives Way To Blue

"All Secrets Known"

Hope, a new beginning
Time, time to start living
Just like just before we died

There's no going back to the place we started from

Hurt, falling through fingers
Trust, trust in the feeling
There's something left inside

There's no going back to the place we started from
All secrets known

Calm, old wounds are healing
Strong, truth is worth saving
I want to feel alive

There's no going back to the place we started from
All secrets known

"Check My Brain"

So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain
Check my brain

I walk these streets, I creep and I fall, oh yeah
When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Aaaaah tears that filled my bong
Aaaaah years expended gone

[Guitar]

I hung my guns and put em away, oh yeah
The trick of the trade, and by the way, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Aaaah tears that filled my bong
Aaaah years expended gone
[Repeat]

Check my brain, check my brain...

"Last Of My Kind"

So young, so brazen, so unholy
I come to you in painted skies
You're broken saint, your ancient story
The living challenge to their lies

Trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
And they want to force my hand
Until I take what I wanted
And break all the lies
And defeat the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen

I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing down the law...

A wolf alone upon the hillside
I live on what they throw away
I go to sleep behind the eight ball
I live to fight for one more day

I'm trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
And they want to force my hand
Until I take what I wanted
And break all the lies
And defeat the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen

Take what I wanted
And break all the lies
And defeat the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen

I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing down the law...

I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing down the law...

I'm the last of my kind still standing
The last of my kind still standing

"Your Decision"

Time to change has come and gone
Watched your fears become your God
It's your decision
It's your decision

Overwhelmed, you chose to run
Apathetic to the stunned
It's your decision
It's your decision

You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lie
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside

No one plans to take the path that brings you lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over

It might seem an afterthought
Yes, it hurts to you know you're bought
It's your decision
It's your decision

You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lie
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside

It's your decision
It's your decision

No one plans to take the path that brings you lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over

"A Looking In View"

Hear foot steps creek the floor
The shadows give away
Someone outside the door
Won't let em in

Life damaged gives to crime
A run down broke machine
That steals your piece of mind
Before you know it's gone
Lay
Down
Wait

Silence burning on your tongue
Keep us separate, sullen, dumb

Hiding in the darkness under
Boiling to the surface, something

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life

These things I hate in you
Also reflect it seems
Distortion laced with spite
Teach you outta me
Lay
Now
Lay

Hiding in the darkness under
Boiling to the surface, something
Crawling on your skin discomfort
Makes you break, run, stumble, fall

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life

It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)
It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)
It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)
It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)

A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life
A looking in view too long on the outside
Desperate plans make sense in a low life

It's why you never tell me (what's on your mind)

"When The Sun Rose Again"

Run, run 'til you drop
Hide, everyone knows
We all trade in 'never-befores'
Selling out for the score

Pray, squeal when you're caught
Cry, it's not my fault
Time to trade in 'never-befores'
Selling out for the score

[Chorus:]
Seems you prophesized
All of this would end
Were you burned away
When the sun rose again?

Hate, long wearing thin
Negative, all you've been
Time to trade in 'never-befores'
Selling out for the score

[Chorus]

Seems you prophesized
All of this would end
Were you burned away
When the sun rose again?

[Chorus]

"Acid Bubble"

You tried to kill me off
Surprised, I remain
A scale tips, impossible
Afraid of my own name

And I always paid attention
to all the lines you crossed
Forgive this imperfection
It shows and all

I am the child that lives and cries in a corner, dies in a corner
Alone inside your mind

[6x]
Intent obsolescence
Built into the system

I tried to shake it off
You can't remove the stain
I'm scared our brain's impossible
Afraid we are the same

And you never paid attention
to all the lines I crossed
Forgive this imperfection
It shows and all

I am the child that lives and cries in a corner, dies in a corner
Alone inside your mind
Cries in a corner, dies in a corner
Alive inside your mind

[4x]
Intent obsolescence
Build into the system

Built into the system [2x]

"Lessons Learned"

Just another lesson learned
Wear a scar, a bore repeating
Take a simple fateful turn
Opened up to stop the bleeding

Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein & struck nerve
Seeing through a self that's blinding

(Nowhere to buy in)
(Most of us hiding)
(Others are shining)

Just another brick you toss
Stone the number one deceiver
Multiply the added cost
Easy to become a believer

Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein & struck a nerve
Seeing through a self that's blinding

(Nowhere to buy in)
(Most of us hiding)
(Others are shining)

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all

Just another lesson learned...

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all

Just another lesson learned... Yeah

Just another lesson learned...
