1. "Prelude"

I don't know why...
...I never told you
I don't know why...
...I never tried

Whe we shed...
.. These bitter skins again

All the reasons come to life
And now it's over..
Now it's over
Now it's over
Now it's over

I don't know why
You never asked me
And I don't know why
You never cared

When we hide these little sins again
All the reasons
Have to die...
But now it's over
Now it's over
And now it's over
And now it's over
And now it's over! [x4]

No!

2. "The Blister Exists"

Bones in the water and dust in my lungs
Absorbing archaic like a sponge
The ultimate way is the way you control
But can you stay if you detach your soul?
Bury the present and squeeze out the past
The ones you endear to never last
Chemical burns and the animalistic
I'm just another headline pseudo-statistic

Can you feel this?
I'm dying to feel this
Can you feel this?

Blood on the paper and skin on my teeth
Trying to commit to what's beneath

To find the time is to lose the momentum
You learn the lessons and immediately forget them
Automatic and out of my reach
Consult all the waste to find the key
Minimal life and the polysyllabic
I'm just another blank page - Push the button, pull the rage

Can you feel this?
I'm dying to feel this
Can you feel this?

I am all, but what am I?
Another number that isn't equal to any of you
I control, but I comply
Pick me apart, then pick up the pieces
I'm uneven

I am the damaged one
All my life and the damage done

Can you feel this?
I'm dying to feel this
Can you feel this?
I'm dying to feel this

I am all, but what am I?
Another number that isn't equal to any of you
I control, but I comply
Pick me apart, then pick up the pieces
I'm uneven

3. "Three Nil"

One - One
Two - Two
Three - Three
NIL!

Chaos - It's just the beginning
Every promise I made i??m rescinding
Center mass in the middle of the monster
I'm getting tired of drowning in the constant
Cry for help - It's debatable
The only reason that you love me is I'm hated by all
Come on - Come see dysfunction
I guess we're gonna leave it open for discussion

Who am I? And where am I going?
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction
Maybe I'm looking for any direction

This is not my war - This is not my fight
This is something more - This is not my life
(This is not my) Revolution
(This is not my) Convolution
(This is not my) Expectation
(This is not my) Desperation

Holed up, scarred and tamed for the hell of it
Look at me - I am the glorified malcontent
Save me? Save this!
All I gotta do is give up and all is forgiven
I'm sick - Of being the but of a cosmic joke
And I don't get the punch line
A million people lined up for miles
To see the great big mouth shut up and apologize

This is not my war - This is not my fight
This is something more - This is not my life
(This is not my) Revolution
(This is not my) Convolution
(This is not my) Only reason to question why

Today, I said goodbye!
Goodbye!
Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here
Today, I said goodbye!

I'm the pariah (Break me)
I am the liar (Save me)
I can take anything (Make me)
Accuse me of everything (Take me)
Cut off the system (Shape me)
Deny my existence (Erase me)
I won't be afraid (Try me)
I won't be unmade (Deny me)

So come on - Break it off
Come on - Buy the lie
Come on - Say it, say it
Come on
Say goodbye!
Goodbye!
Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here
Today, I said goodbye!
Goodbye!
Oh I didn't need to leave to stay right here
Today, I said goodbye!

One - One
Two - Two
Three - Three
NIL!

4. "Duality"

I push my fingers into my eyes
Its the only thing
That slowly stops the ache
But its made of all
The things I have to take
Jesus it never ends
It works it's way inside
If the pain goes on...

I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I???ve waited as my times elapsed
Now all I do is live with so much fate
I wished for this
I bitched at that
I???ve left behind this little fact
You cannot kill what you did not create
I???ve gotta say what I???ve gotta say and then I swear I'll go away
But I cant promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You are left with me cuz you left me no choice

I push my fingers into my eyes
It???s the only thing
That slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on
I'm not gonna make it!

Put me back together
Or separate the skin from bone
Leave me all the pieces
Then you can leave me alone
Tell me the reality is better than the dream
But I???ve found out the hard way
Nothing is what it seems

I push my fingers into my eyes
It???s the only thing
That slowly stops the ache
But it???s made of all
The things I have to take
Jesus it never ends
It works it's way inside
If the pain goes on
I???m not gonna make it!

All I???ve got
All I???ve got Is Insane
All I???ve got
All I???ve got Is Insane
All I???ve got!
All I???ve got Is Insane!
All I???ve got!
All I???ve got Is Insane!
All I???ve got!
All I???ve got Is Insane!
All I???ve got!
All I???ve got Is Insane!

All I???ve got Is Insane!
All I???ve got!
All I???ve got Is Insane!
All I???ve got!
All I???ve got Is Insane!
All I???ve got!
All I???ve got Is Insane!

5. "Opium of the People"

Watch those idiosyncrasies
Watch all the idiots fall on me
Running out of ways to get outta the way
Take another shot just to stay the same
But i need some balance - back it off
Fill your lungs 'til it makes you cough
Tell me everything's gonna be alright
'Cause i don't think i'll make it through tonight

The only way - is all the way
The only way - is all the way
The only way - (the only way) is all the way (is all the way)
The only way - (the only way) is all the way (is all the way)

OH - MY - GOD
It's judgement day and im not prepared
Everybody's out there's running scared
So - take a little bit off the top
I don't care, just make it stop

I won't give another soul.. to you
I won't give another life.. to you
You don't have to stop!
STOP!
STOP!

Do one thing and say something cryptic
But the style always clash
One thing i know for sure
Hypothetical won't work anymore
One wrong move and they will pound!
My nails are tight inside my wrists
This sacrament is sacrilege and sentimental
Deity experimental - Faith is accidental

I won't give another soul.. to you
I won't give another life.. to you
I won't give another thought.. to you
I won't give any more of my hope.. to you

6. "Circle"

Give me the dust of my father
Stand on the face of the ancients
Bare, the secret flesh of time itself

Follow me (Follow me)
I've come so far, I???m behind again
Follow me (Follow me)
I wish so hard I'm there again
Follow me (Follow me)
Follow me (Follow me)

All that I wanted were things I had before
All that I needed, I never needed more
All of my questions were answers to my sins
And all of my endings are waiting to begin

I know the way, but I falter
I can't be afraid of my patience
There's a sacred place Razel keeps safe

Follow me (Follow me)
I've seen so much, I'm blind again
Follow me (Follow me)
I feel so bad, I'm alive again
Follow me (Follow me)

All that I wanted were things I had before
All that I needed, I never needed more
All of my questions were answers to my sins
And all of my endings are waiting to begin

7. "Welcome"

I am a product - Of your conduct
The uncontrollable urges that made me
Have made us all - Are you proud? Do you even care?
You tought us all to lie - That's how we made it here
You should have buried the truth with your secrets
But you were far to impressed with your pretense
Now as far as I know, I don't know anything
'Cause you made damn sure It wasn't anything

Distractions, Reactions
The only way ito go is to go away
Discarded, Retarded
Before I let you go, you have to let me

Clawed away from human clay
We are the borken shards, the art disarray I
Before you condemn, you rape them, feed us meconium
Stunt our growth from our souls to our throats - Cut!
You shouldn't wall us up with your apathy
But you did - Now you're only growing enemies
This is the catalyst, the alpha, the first breed
'Cause you made damn sure - Now we're everything

Distractions, Reactions
The only way ito go is to go away
Discarded, Retarded
Before I let you go, you have to let me

Much to my surprise, I will wake up
And follow the path of the ones I am made of
But this time... I won't give in
I will save you from my sins

(What is wrong with this manipulation... voilent and chaotic)

Ensconced.. In all that's wrong
I slam you shut... I can only take so much
How many times do I have to mistreat you?
Constantly biting my hand as I feed you
Maybe now you'll understand severity
I'll sum it up with the best amount of brevity

Welcome to the transformation
Welcome to annihilation
Welcome to the man that wanted
Everything but couldn't have it!

Distractions, Reactions
The only way ito go is to go away
Discarded, Retarded
Before I let you go, you have to let me

Much to my surprise, I will wake up
And follow the path of the ones I am made of
But this time... I won't give in
I will save you from my sins

8. "Vermilion"

She seemed dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her to myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad

She is everything to me
The unrequited dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable
She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason

I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad

But I won't let this build up inside of me x4

I catch in my throat
Choke
Torn into pieces
I won't - no
I don't wanna be this

But I won't let this build up inside of me x5

She isn't real
I can't make her real x 2

9. "Pulse of the Maggots"

This is the year where hope fails you
The test subjects run the experiment
And the bastards you know is the hero you hate
But cohesion is possible if we try
There's no reason,THERE'S no lesson, no time like the present
Tell me right now, what have you go to lose?
What have you got to lose, except your soul?
Who's With Me?!

(I fight) for the unconventional
(My right) and its unconditional
(I can only) be as real as I can
The disadvantage is I never knew the plan
(This isn't) just a way to be a martyr
(I can't) walk alone any longer
(I fight) for the ones who can't fight
And if I lose, at least I tried!

(We) We are the new diabolic
(We) We are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
(We) We are the pulse of the maggots

(I won't) be the inconsequential
(I won't) be the wasted potential
I can make it as severe as I can
Until you realize you'll never take a stand
(It isn't) just a one-sided version
(We've dealt) with a manic subversion
(I won't) let the truth be perverted
And I won't leave another victom deserted

(We) We are the new diabolic
(We) We are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
(We) We are the pulse of the maggots

(Do you understand?) Yes

Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)

(We fight) 'til no one can fight us
(We live) and no one can stop us
(We pull) when we're pushed to far
And the advantage is, the bottom line is
(We never) had to fight in the first place
(We only) had to spit back in their face
(We won't) walk alone any loger
What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger

(We) We are the new diabolic
(We) We are the bitter bucolic
If I have to give my life, you can have it
(We) We are the pulse of the maggots

(Do you understand?) Yes

Say it again, say it again
(We won't die)

10. "Before I Forget"

GO!

Stapled shut - Inside an outside world And I'm
sealed in tight - Bizarre but right at home
I'm claustrophobic - Closing in And I'm
catastrophic - Not again
I'm smeared across the page and doused in gasoline
I wear you like a stain, yet I'm the one who's obscene
Catch me up in all your sordid little insurrections
I've got no time to lose - I'm just caught up in all the cattle

Fray the strings...
Throw the shapes...
Hold your breath...
Listen

I
am a world before I am a man
I
was a creature before I could stand
I
will remember before I forget
Before I forget that

I'm ripped across the ditch and settled in the dirt And I
wear you like a stitch, yet I'm the one who's hurt
Pay attention to your twisted little indiscretions
I've got no right to win - I'm just caught up in all the battles

Locked in clutch...
Pushed in place...
Hold your breath...
Listen

I
am a world before I am a man
I
was a creature before I could stand
I
will remember before I forget
Before I forget that

My end,
it justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road and my end
It justifies my means
All I ever do is delay
My every attempt to evade
The end of the road

I
am a world before I am a man
I
was a creature before I could stand
I
will remember before I forget
Before I forget that

Yeah Yeah Yeah YeAh Yeah Yeah Yeah
OHHHH

Vermillion, Pt. 2 lyrics

She seemed dressed in all of me, stretched across my shame.
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me
I'd do anything to have her for myself
Just to have her for myself
Now I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.

She is everything to me
The unrequieted dream
A song that no one sings
The unattainable.
She's a myth that I have to believe in
All I need to make it real is one more reason
I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.

But I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me
I wont let this build up inside of me

A catch in my throat
Choke, torn into pieces I won't - No
I don't want to be this

But I won't let this build up inside of me (won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me (won't let this build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me (won't let me build up inside of me)
I won't let this build up inside of me (won't let this build up inside of me)

I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee isn't real (I won't let this build up inside of me)
I can't make her real (I won't let this build up inside of me)
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee isn't real (I won't let this build up inside of me_
I can't make her real (I won't let this build up inside of me)

You deserve it

13. "The Virus of Life"

(Yeah)

I can see you but you can't see me
I could touch you and you wouldn't even feel me
Wait a second and you'll settle down
I'm just waiting 'til you really let your gaurd down
You're relaxed, you're so blind, you're amazing
You don't even know the danger you're facing
If I'm quiet, I'll slide up behind you
And if you hear me, I'll enjoy trying to find you

I've been with you all day
I'm trying to stay calm
I'm impatient and it's really hard to breathe
I'm going to empty you and fill you in with me

Just keep the violence down
Not yet-Don't make a sound
Oh, God I'm feeling it
It's reaching fever pitch
My skin is caving in
My heart is driving out
No mercy, no remorse
Let nature take its course

Watching-Bring me to my knees
Waiting-I am your disease
Lover-Set my symptom free
Covered-You won't feel a thing

(wait, no, wait, wait, no, wait, wait, not yet, no wait, wait)

You can't stop me
I'm sweating through my veins
I'm trying to hold on
It's unbearable, It's almost worse for me
I'm gonna to tear you apart and make you see-Make you see

Watching-Bring me to my knees
Waiting-I am your disease
Lover-Set my symptom free
Covered-You won't feel a thing

You can't stop me

This is the virus, the virus of life
This is inside us, The crisis, The knife

It's almost time to play/It's time to be afraid
I can't control the pain/I can't control in vain
Oh God, I'm ready now/You're almost ready now
I'm gonna love you now/I'm gonna put you down
I see you in the dark/I see you all the way
I see you in the light/I see you plain as day
I wanna touch your face/I wanna touch your soul
I wanna wear your face/I wanna burn your soul

Watching-Bring me to my knees
Waiting-I am your disease
Lover-Set my symptom free
Covered-You won't feel a thing

You can't stop me

This is the virus, the virus of life
This is the virus, the virus of life
This is the virus, the virus of life
This is the virus, the virus of life

This is the virus, the virus of life!
This is the virus, the virus of life!
This is the virus, the virus of life!
This is the virus, the virus of life!

14. "Danger - Keep Away"

We too feel alone

That place in my mind
Is that space that you call mine
That place in my mind
Is that space that you call mine

Where have I been all this time
Lost enslaved fatal decline
I've been waiting for this to unfold
But
My pieces are only as good as the whole

Severed myself from my whole life
I cut out the only thing that was bright
What if i never saw you again -
I'D DIE RIGHT NEXT TO YOU IN THE END

That place in my mind
Is that space that you call mine
That place in my mind
Is that space that you call mine

I won't let you walk away
Without hearing what I have to say
Without hearing what I have to say
Without hearing what I have to say
