Evacuate, the whole thing's unstoppable
It will consume, regenerate
Recycled tide, same shit on the radio
All wrong, it sure makes you wonder
Falling from skies that are ready to blow
You're breaking up, a scream in the yonder
Canvas destroyed
It never had to lie to you
Quite simply unlike me
There's nothing left for me say
I’m beyond all repair
Look around, it has arrived
Shards of promised dreams blown to smithereens
Time to get up and face the dance
Pick up the stones that once broke my bones
I'm chasing my worth today
It's on the rise, we all stand in a row
Shake off the rust and just pick a number
So overjoyed
Who is it that you cater to?
Wide awake
The morning hours subside
You look so happy but feel so sad
On the run
Just another face lost in the crowd
The afterglow of yesterday, relived in stereo

What a place divine, exit the rear view
Here we go, no delay
Paradise is fiction, been there
Face the facts, live the now
May have lacked the vision, not knowing the danger
Common phases become us
All set, I'm ready to go
Can’t give an inch to drama
While I’m thinking things through
And all is fine, I’m moving in slow
So many possibilities and out the door with past beliefs
Load my desires
Seems like nothing has ever been this clear
There is so much to salvage here
When the choices near, take the ride
On the run, overdone, come what may
Confidence is stained, old affair
Amazed at what I’ve allowed
How those blissful moments betray us

It's set to fail, trying to stay afloat
Too far long gone, too late to get a better feel
It's what was meant to be
I've got to get a grip, it's all I've done before
Time is constraining, there's no doubt about it
Things I will undergo
Can't help but think it's going nowhere
But I'm doing just fine
So live another day and keep it cool
Fix your eye on the prize and make the move
Don't let it go
Someway it just seems unreal
Must say, may not have the heart to see it through
Stayed in the lead, voiced it when opposed
Too far long gone, a lie that I tried to conceal
Becoming clear to me
It's been the longest trip, the facts I can't ignore
No more debating, there's no way around it
Bury the overflow
Maybe it's finally heading somewhere
Walk up to the line

Might never change, always a guess
Every move is unknown, so hard to read
You put your faith in the role that you play for your god, control
Your superman cannot save you now, completely withdrawn
Claim somehow you don't belong
There's no way out
Hasn't changed a bit
Make the dive deep in the abyss
I'm headed back down, no angel on my shoulder
Stay alive, put an end to this
Took me a while to reconnect, still I don't have a clue, the plight
These ominous days I've met before, my home
All senses fight, like climbing a mountain
Take it in, weighing it all
Its not a matter of luck, can't refute

Break through fog where the ugliness roams
Darkest night that haunts us all
And now I'm wishing that things will turn out right
The weight one might carry, isolates
Let go of me, seen quite enough, great moments overdue
So good day, goodnight and farewell
Can't come with me on this flight
So good day, goodnight and farewell
The world's edge is now in sight
Moving fast with no purpose or goal
Can't get past this monstrous wall
There's nothing guiding me, twice the wrecking ball
No storing all these worries, can't fly away
It ties me down and looks right through with unforgiving might
