Another Day 02:31
Hello and good day my friends Another day gone by
2.
Climb 04:29
Entering a picture Of forgotten yesterdays Tripping on the words That once were never hard to say But now you’ve built this wall Around yourself That no one wants to climb Got a cold reflection From the looking glass of time And you’ve made an institution Out of messing with our minds Hurt the ones you love Love the ones you leave You have it out for all to see It hangs upon your sleeve Tell me - Do you hurt? Tell me - Where’s the pain? Tell me - If I can Put it back together again I am - Here for you I can - Ease your pain I am - All you got Don’t cry me a river of shame Tell me - Do you hurt? Tell me - Where’s the pain? I am - Here for you again All I say And all I do Is all I am ~Solo~ Matt Hodsdon But now you’ve built this wall Around yourself That no one wants to climb And the wall you’ve built is Filled with selfishness And you’re running out of time Because you built this wall Around yourself The light you’ll never find

Gilded Cage 04:34
You see I’m trapped within this cage That they have built around me And I can feel all the rage That they have brought upon me Now I've wandered and searched Through the paths before me Although I fear in the end There is a wall to crush me I see it all the time The masquerade that leads us We seem so satisfied With the tears and darkest fears We let take control Where is the love That I'm searching for? Because I know you’re there So stop fucking around Where do you hide? Because I know you’re not Within my mind I’d like to satisfy my soul And the madness within your game Leads me nowhere So tell me why I can't get Things under control You see you’re all I have left And I want nothing more Than to be with you I’ve wasted lives and lives On your lies and lies And with the tears and darkest fears You put within my cage ~Solo~ Carlos Alvarez We seem so satisfied I'd like to satisfy my soul With the tears and the darkest fears We let them take control
4.
Justified 05:34
No excuses My search for truth has Led me to believe There's nothing worth believing The steps I’ve taken I know keep shaking But at least I'm only Deceiving me Been kissing ground, Beaten down Wanting so much more Would question why I have suffered, Way too long So I don't feel the need to justify Fingers stepped on Grasping for rings I have been denied I will make them mine Beyond compassion While laughter burns my ears And solely my convictions Are now to be my guide You don't see this I won’t apologize When I have eaten So many of your lies ~Solos~ Felix Neumann Carlos Alvarez I speak, you don’t hear Something’s out of place I sing, strong and clear Every breath a waste I scream, get nowhere Realize my mistake Bewildered stares Half spoken prayers Neither slowing down The change that’s come between No excuses My search for truth has Led me to believe I’m not worth believing Rising from the ashes Leaving my heart frozen To what has come before Refusing to acknowledge What was once the given Forevermore
5.
Set Free 04:55
Firmly in here and now Before me the unknown Shed this tired useless skin And break these brittle bones Now to take the leap Alone Tried and tried, sacrificed Pushing hard, just to stay in place Constant grind, only to find I’m just another face How could I be proud? Fake How could I be proud? Wake up Too long asleep, in waking dream Now the veil ripped away See the light ahead In me See the light ahead And be Cut the tethers, held together Unsure, insecure to ever Hope to leave Focus inward, spiral downward Reaching higher, soaring upward Set me free ~Solo~ Tony Sannicandro Simplified, embracing life I realize it can be mine Left behind, the broken mind It's my turn to shine Now to take the leap Alone Now to take the leap Coming home
6.
Hollow 04:23
Forgive, forget So it is said All lies, demons filling my head To love, to care Only regret But wait, I'm not done with me yet Want to purge all memory Leave me empty and cold Won’t stop until I am erased This life I've led seems such a waste Need to find another path Can’t keep running in place Dug this hole too deep Cannot see the light All alone, buried myself below Rage, hate, sacrifice Push - Pull - Mold - Shape Twist - Burn - Prod - Scrape Hollow ~Solo~ Joe Johnson I have ceased to be Balled up in my mind Yes I know, I am still all alone Numb, void, but its mine
7.
~Solo~ Carlos Alvarez Sealed up my eyes I can feel the water Lapping at my chin Slipping under I hear your voice echoing I see your lips Move in wordless dream And I float An insignificant part of the flow Sick of swimming Against the current Things just fall apart Keep erasing Wiping pages clean A brand new start Recognizing Mistakes I keep repeating In everything I do Learned acceptance Of what I cannot change By letting go of you
8.
Ageless 06:57
Cancer inside, eating away Bringing me back to ground No longer hide, no longer ashamed Pulling my head from clouds I am alive, if only for today I’ll make it the best I can So much I've seen, humbled to be After all I'm just a man And I can’t recall Ever being this free In my bones I feel All will be revealed Soon I will pass from this life Released Fought through my daze Half in a haze So many times I'd question The struggle to rise Above all the lies A tiring life obsession It’s all that I've known A crooked path so overgrown Tangled in my pride Kept seeking out some sign No avoiding destiny My own mortality These bitter grains of sand Falling through my fingers The emptiness that lingers I await a brand new day ~Solo~ Matt Hodsdon And I can’t recall Ever being this free In my bones I feel All will be revealed Soon I will pass from this life Released No more fear, No more anguish, I fly I am leaving ground Never coming down I am much more, so much more Than my flesh, my soul My doubts, my hopes My dreams, this life I am everything
9.
Hours passing by Shadows growing long Kingdoms rise and fall And I, center of the calm So small In the blink of an eye All of it now gone Back and forth, Try to prove my worth Shadows of the sun Dug beneath Much too far to reach Became a crowd of one Now I stand Determined once again To hold common ground Firm resolve Chin raised oh so proud No more backing down Nothing left to lose Pushing through All I used to do Forcing every change Steering clear Whenever I got near Solitude remains Crossing lines Never wonder why I would bear the loss Stuck in place Now I have to face There is no line to cross Nothing left to lose I keep making circles Fall - From dizzy heights Back - Unshakeable Once - Upon a time Again Drawn - From the abyss Lines - Of consequence Across - Open fist The sand ~Solo~ Tim McKinstry I won’t give an inch I’ve walked too many miles Don't think that I'm satisfied Just because I wear a smile Underestimate me I don’t really mind Unawareness leaves you That much easier to get behind I keep making circles I keep weaving patterns What does it matter?
10.
Hello and good day my friends Another day gone by And if you choose You will pass this test You must take the time Time is passing by And you’re the only one Who can seize the moment It’s due to the nature of things Which I can’t control my friend So don’t go walking around Blaming me Cause don’t you see That this world's not right for you? To be with me Just unlock the door Stop and take a look At the world around you The same perpetual change You don’t know what to do Believe in what you want But you know what’s real my friend You can deceive the crowd Though yourself will not be fooled ~Solos~ Carlos Alvarez Tim McKinstry Please forgive me And these endless lies Be sure not to take them With you when you die Cause don't you see That its just a game? No matter who you are The rules, they remain the same Same old faces Only different names Just be sure that when you go You leave the pain Just unlock the door From behind the wall Seize the moment From within your cage Just unlock the door Now I see it all Seize the moment No more rage Unlock the door

Forever 09:16
~ Act I ~ I’ve come full circle, the final step To place my feet on solid ground Begin another path The future opens, a thousand choices Any door will take me forward Without looking back I fill my lungs with air A moment's hesitation Colors sharpen, Come so clear A sweet exhilaration An inner contemplation There’s nothing left For me to fear here Been chasing dragons, through the sky If only I had seen Just how close to me My search has ended, I’ve stripped away The layers of a callous heart And found I still remain I realize I have So much to do ahead Repairing damage I have done But there are no regrets Lessons learned and yet The scars given Can never be completely undone ~ Act II ~ Suddenly flooding my senses I’m back in the darkest corner Of this room Reopening wounds I had thought that time Could make them disappear Make my purpose clear Drowning in sorrow, I reach out for myself To find there’s nothing here An emptiness so cold, I let go to drift away ~Solos~ Tim McKinstry - Piano Keith Barnard - Clean Carlos Alvarez Keith Barnard ~Act III~ Vision getting cloudy Stretching for the light Straining towards the surface I will breathe again I will not be denied I have come full circle
