Dead Before Dawn
Chorus
10 seconds in you give your life away
I can see it in your cold dead eyes
Stuck in second when you gave the right away
Remember more than you realize
Me I can't see
All through the shadows flitting unremitting
abandonment so dark and fitting now
Prophecies all just exhausted current black recurrence
Another light we'll see before the end
So come along and scream with me my friend
Chorus
You feel it more than you realize
Please follow me
I'll show you to a deep affluent unearthed ruin
A side of you not seen before the eyes
Of your friends but they all think they know you like I know you
But you seem so much different when it's just
The two of us and then it turns to dust
Chorus
It doesn't add up so it's time to divide
Breakdown

Lights

Lights
Lights shining on me
It's the last thing I see and the first thing I need to be free
When, when will it end
All the treason we see at a needless and tortured expense
Chorus
Everyday, it's all destined for change but we all stay the same anyway
What's to say, whose to blame
In a sense, it's so easily spent as it all came and went in the end
Stand up walk with me my friend
Change, all comes in waves
And it's so hard to see till we step back and read it, it saves
Wait, wait for the time
Just to rise up above a discovery we're searching to find
Chorus
Bridge
Guitar Solo
Chorus
All the same, we're all lost in this cage and it all works both ways in the end,
Everyday, anyway
All we see, all the times that we bleed what we touch what we feel, energy
Is carried on through memories

Best Days (In Disguise)
Hey, it's understated loved and hated in the end
So won't you be my friend
Say, weren't you the one who told me you would hold me close
And that you'd love me most
Go
Pre Chorus
I see you walking down the street
I know you've found someone to meet
Don't mind what happens now and then
I'll be there with you to the end
Chorus
Our bitter ways have never changed but is there nothing left to say
You don't believe it anyway
So full of lies you realize you spent your best days in disguise
Hey it's never wasted irreplaceable to me
Just take a look and see
Weight under reality is not the place to be
Don't take it out on me
Go
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Wait, why, we die
Fate, high, we fly

Place and Time
Open the toll gates if we have to
Nobody's getting in for free
Amidst the sun storm losing altitude
It's not so difficult to me
We won't give it away, no we're right here to stay and play today
Chorus
So take a ride and say goodbye
This disarray so undefined
Another place another time
Oh yesterday's so hard to find
Tonight
Refined unstoppable persistence
It's not so difficult to be
A misinterpreted existence
It's all indifferent to me
Time won't wash me away, rock and roll's here to stay and play today
Chorus
Bridge
To rearrange my mind to find what's buried deep inside
A burial so fine

Once or Twice

Once or Twice
A light in my life, sometimes it's hard
To find or contrive
I tried once or twice, to crawl through the dark
To put things to rights
Walk run push shove
Stay late dawn breaks
It all feels the same, here once again
Combative ways
I tried once or twice, to bring this thing home
To sleep with the night
Night day fade away
Cold lake dawn breaks
The best of times is yet to come
A moral choice won't come undone
And through the darkest form of night
You'll find the answers in your sight
Walk run push shove
Stay late dawn breaks
Guitar Solo
I tried once or twice, I brought this thing home
I slept with the night
Walk run push shove
Stay late dawn breaks

Wake Up (Don't Hate Me)
Wake up don't hate me today
It's difficult to see it but where I stand it's feasible to me
Face up and take me away
It's underneath a surface so physical, just see it and believe
repeat
Chorus
Seasons changing but my love for you has never gone away
Through the flames, wind and rain
Final chapters closing, knew we'd always make it to the end
To a certainty my friend
Mixed up and fading away
I think it's part resentment, part underlying feelings unaddressed
Fixed up unchanging array
A matter of persistence untouchable unbeaten by the best
Chorus

Poor Man's Toll
I see you working away
I cash it all in today
At once we're locked in this cage
And you're not worth the net pay
Chorus
While you laugh, wait till you get a glimpse tomorrow
Think too fast, and you'll forget about today
Work, play, all day
Love, rage, insane
Yeah you laugh, wait till you get a glimpse tomorrow
Think too fast, and you'll forget about today
Bridge/ Guitar Solo
I see you working away, I cash it all in today
At once we're locked in this cage
But you're not worth the next pay
Stop

The Fight

The fight
Force unstoppable a mastermind unbeaten underway
I stand watching your feet dancing on my grave
Voice impossible to hear without the proper set of ears
Once forgotten now he's coming back today
Pre Chorus
You'd better hide until you find
The cure that's buried deep inside
Chorus
Once you see the light, you can win the fight
When it's in your sight, you can do what's right
And you feel so high
Force intangible you feel it as you read between the lines
As you're watching your life pass before your eyes
Understandable time gets behind your self destructive mind
It's a feeling that we've all been victimized
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Bridge/Guitar Solo
Drums/Bass Solo
Once you see the light, you can win the fight
When it's in your sights, you can do what's right
And you feel so high
Once you see the light, you can win the fight

Pale Horse
You're so dead inside me still you just defy me
Path so beaten now it's whole
Love struck sickened by this most untimely Goddess
Once was smitten now it's broke
Pre chorus
You can't break me, you won't waste me
Still you taste me don't you
Still I think about you, still I drink about you
Ship was sinking now it floats
Chorus
I'm cashing it all in today (Pay)
I'm making a stand walk away (Stay)
The battle is over again (Slay)
And who really won in the end (Hate)
Once you're standing by me, now you're testifying
Story changing evermore
Hold to bitter feelings, move to blacker dealings
Both feet sticking to the floor

Keep it on Your Way

Keep it on Your Way
And the sun beats on my neck
Left to reasons you'd expect
On a blasted heath unchained but baron wastelands keep me jailed
And it's left to uncertainty
Like a mainline to my dreams
All the nightmares that have kept me up for years but still they failed
Pre Chorus
A bitter mind won't gratify or satisfy the need
It's unfulfilled you see
What better way to spend the day to send away the pain
Never stray, keep it on your way
Chorus
Put to the test, face the regret
Catching the same disease we've tried so hard to check
Put to the test, feeling it yet
Catching the same disease but it's not over yet
And the kid looks just like me
Left for reasons you'd believe
I admit to envy, paid the price and that's my cross to bear
But i take it all from this cup
Every sip and every sup
It's the bed I've made just laying in it, I don't wanna share
Pre Chorus
