Comatose 03:58
Lifeless, and haunting me I’ve had these questions from day one Inanimate, but still taunting me I’ll never have the courage to answer them There is something behind the mirror Our reflections are wearing masks Built up of lies we’ve told ourselves, too scared to ask Is this how we survive? Numb our minds to the pain Just to deal with it, to not feel like this We are wasting our lives, and we’re running out of time Give anything to feel okay Pretend that sleepless nights make up for wasted days We are creatures of habit, and we’re stuck in our ways We are the architects of our own failings We are the puppets with broken strings Born to lose in a future that’s fading Broken down and left with nothing We are the architects of our own failings We are the puppets with broken strings Born to lose in a future that’s fading We never learnt a fucking thing. Your eyes are open, but your mind's been closed You’ve spent your whole life comatose. We build ourselves up, so life can knock us down We are painted mannequins wearing broken crowns. We are the architects of our own failings We are the puppets with broken strings Born to lose in a future that’s fading Broken down and left with nothing We are the architects of our own failings We are the puppets with broken strings Born to lose in a future that’s fading We never learnt a fucking thing. Divided we fall We’ve fallen too far To ever get up again We can’t see the light Divided we fall We’ve fallen too far To ever get up again, To ever get up again. Divided we fall We’ve fallen too far To ever get up again, To ever get up again. Divided we fall (We are the architects of our failings) We’ve fallen too far (We are the puppets with broken strings) To ever get up again (Born to lose in a future that's fading) To ever get up again. (Broken down and left with nothing)

Porcelain 03:41
What were we born to be? Dragged down by the weight of our bodies Held back by the doubt in our minds Give it up; every breath's a count down We’ve reached the end of the line We are built to give in Bodies set to fail Poisoned by our creators Weighed on tipped scales We're all made the same way Flawed at the point of creation And we die on our knees Victims to the same disease We're all made the same way Flawed at the point of creation And we'll never be free Enslaved to selfish needs We are the rot, the sickness, the cancer We are the question, and death is the answer We are the rot, the sickness, the cancer We are the question, and death is the answer Put us back together to tear us apart Destined to be broken, born sick at heart We're all made the same way Flawed at the point of creation And we die on our knees Victims of the same disease We're all made the same way Flawed at the point of creation And we'll never be free Not as long as we still breathe This life is blood for blood It drinks us fucking dry We all go through hell To find out heaven’s just another lie.

Your mind is bursting at the seams But those lies have no hold on me I bit my tongue for far too long You’re wasting away, pulled down by demons you’re too blind to see, Too scared to believe, you’ve lost everything you wanted to be I’ll hold your eyes, force you to see This tortured vision, and what it means to me I’ll tear your head out, out of the fucking clouds I’ll nail your feet into the ground Wake up, dreamer, the wolves are closing in You’ve taken this too far and now its sink or swim Wake up, dreamer, you’ve left us all behind Your walls are falling down You’re trapped inside your mind It’s bursting at the seams But those lies have no hold on me I've bit my tongue for far too long I'll keep your head above the waves You’re not too deep for me to save I’ll keep your head above the waves I can't let you drown You're not too deep for me to pull you out Open your eyes; you've ruined everything That you held dear, all that you ever loved Now you’re drowning yourself But no matter how far, I'll try To pull you out; I can save you this time I'm not a man of empty promises Not a seller of broken dreams I put my heart into all that matters To show you how much you mean to me Wake up, dreamer, the wolves are closing in You’ve taken this too far and now its sink or swim Wake up, dreamer, you’ve left us all behind Your walls are falling down You’re trapped inside your mind.

Elysium 01:27
I never know where this path is going Never asked where this road leads Never given thought direction Happy to follow my own feet I’ve had my head in the clouds my whole life Don’t remember what the ground feels like Chasing these dreams I've had since sixteen Nothing has ever meant this much to me Nothing has ever meant this much to me

Take me back to before I had this weight on my chest, and these wolves at my door When I could let you in Before your touch became cold, and a stranger to my skin The truth is (the truth is) I’m scared of what you might find Behind these walls inside my mind I’ll keep my guard up; I won’t let you win I’ve built a mask for my thoughts Told a thousand lies and took the fall You couldn’t understand it, even if you tried I’ve never been whole, and I’ll never get back To how I was before, I’ve lost all I had The things I love become the things I lack My demons define who I am. I’ve spent most my life fighting with my shadow It’s got the best of me It’s got the best of me I’ve spent most my time living without passion It’s got the best of me It’s got the best of me Breathe new life into this soul A touch to warm these bones I’ve spent my whole life hollow; I’ve walked this road alone I’ve spent my whole life hollow; I’ve walked this road alone No solid path to follow, I’ve done it on my own I’ve never been whole, and I’ll never get back To how I was before, I’ve lost all I had The things I love become the things I lack My demons define who I am I might have lost the best of me But I was built with my own hands I’m proud of what’s left of me. My demons define who I am.
