lyrics by Jeremy Palaszewski


Independence Day

It's getting complicated

I'm finding it difficult to go

Can't stop the walls from caving in on me

And I'm still finding out

Only if you understood

You would see you'd know by now

Things aren't quite so good

Why can't you understand me

Only if I could find it

Seems miles away

Only if I could have it

My independence day

It's funny how we always end

A stalemate on and on and on

Can't put the past behind me

You're still talking nonsensical

Only if we understood

Each other you'd know by now

Oh how I wish you could

Why can't you understand it

Only if I could find it

Seems miles away

Only if I could have it

My independence day

Into the Darkness

Floating up

I'm floating high up far into the stars

Below I feel it beneath me give away

Earth below I feel around me

Echoes of the world dissolve

This feels like a dream now

Then it calls

And it feels so real

And then light fades away

Darkness pulls me away

I'm falling into nowhere

I can't see anything

I want it over now

Higher now

I'm high above the stars light years away

Alone this must be a dream now until I feel

Terrified I'm falling fast down into the abyss

The Void is calling me into somewhere else

And it knows my name then my soul slips away

Darkness pulls me away

I'm falling into nowhere

I can't see anything

I want it over now

Death comes knocking again

I'm falling into darkness

I can't feel anything

I guess it's over now

Falling into nothing

Feel my soul now

Slipping away

Grey Notes Fall

Tell me we're moving on

Nothing can change the way I feel about you now

So I'm told now every night I'm watching

As days fall closer and closer

While we both are here to stay

We again must part to save

Something we have made that's built to last

Now we go in opposite direction

Resurrect those walls that we have both erected

Out and into grey we're on stand-by once again

Tell me anything just don't

Tell me we're moving on

Nothing can change the way I feel about you

Tell me oh I thought you knew

I'll be away but you'll be with me always

Believe me when I say this I mean it

As time takes forever I'll wait

For the day we both arrive to the climax of our lives

And that's good to know

Though I'll be leaving you

We'll carry on and into shades of grey again

Facing what was said

Looking back when

All that's left to do for us is look ahead

So tell me anything but just don't

Tell me we're moving on

Nothing can change the way I feel about you

Tell me oh I thought you knew

I'll be away but you'll be with me always

Where Did You Go?

I'll be there all the way beside you in the dark

We'll watch the sunrise from the storm

And when the rain of your despair became

to much to bear

You left me

Please tell me

Where did you go, Where did you go

Where did you put your heart this time around

Did it go sour from sweet

Where did you go, Where did you go

Where did you put your soul that can't be found

I don't know where it could be

Maybe somewhere at the crossroads

Where our dreams and fears reside

Where someday we can surely find

And as you slowly made your way across the room

You turned your back I looked away

The cheap thrill fame instilled

Meant more than the friend you had

I don't understand

Where did you go, Where did you go

When did you cash your soul in for the gold

To buy esteem

I hope it was worth it all

Worst of all

When you walked out on my trust you stole

A little piece of my own

Blood and tears that I poured

Into what was once now feels in vain

I wonder can you feel my pain

The first times

The magic, the memories, the regret

The dreams, the hardships

That old friend back then was

The best that I ever had

Now there's no turning back

Once upon a time you told me that your heart

was in it's place

I guess it slipped as with your pride did

How unfortunate

A story ending sorely in the sense you chose

To take the easiest way out

It's over now

Death In Numbers

Here lies the one who fought for cause

Made hero in the wake of all the loss

When age of old and tired eyes

Takes place of all the life that's held inside

One step away

Unscathed untainted love

Falls victim to the violence it becomes

And it left you out, betrayed you

Now it all ends

One moment's courage to bear

Stretched out laid out in the red

Where's the love

Has hopelessness taken its toll

{I bleed with you}

Here I am

One breath of life left in my soul

{I give it to you}

One destiny a way of means to end

One razor length away from blade to skin

It's calling out, It wants me

I need again

One last request for a reason to live

Where's the love

Has hopelessness taken its toll

{I bleed with you}

Here I am

One breath of life left in my soul

I give it to you

Death in numbers fallen for you

Once more again

Can't stop the bleeding

It won't stop it won't stop

What's left of anything

They're what's left so what's left

Can't waste a place to be

Six feet under it all

Call forth the pain parade

Wave it on just wave it on

Audition

Comeback to me enter the ghost of a loved one

I still see her silhouette

I took the seasons for granted now I'm alone

Somebody save me from losing it

What's your ideal woman can you say

Leave it to me

We're going to find you a candidate

Just wait and see for the audition

Think you all can just runaway with love

My sadomasochistic

Make us fail like the other ones you've done

Now drain the pain of my sick

Though I never was ever unhappy

Your agony betrays your lies

It's cause all I ever could feel was bad

These words cut through meat and bone

Hello my love, I waited today for your call

Please be alarmed how I can behave

I've been abused, my family tree roots into hell

But I can keep you warm... with my pain

I'll be the only one you can love

You're all the same

I'll bring you into my oblivion

Deeper, deeper now you understand

These words cut through meat and bone

Fall From Grace

Long days have been thereafter

Inching forward closer into the fires

Of self-indulgence of an empire wasted

Outside it's falling from it's grace

Is this all we have to show

The falling of a dynasty of sacred

Out of past into unkown

It's in the cards but it's out of my hands

Bleeding dry of any truth and any substance

Drowned out and left to make us beg

For something more than a thrill instantaneous

The white noise paints us black again

Is this all we have to show

The falling of a dynasty of sacred

Out of past into unkown

It's in the cards but it's out of my hands

Faded now behold I stand before a dim lit sky

Only time now can tell me of a way I can find

Some methodical procedure that can fill my soul

Empty out the blackness and fill the hole

Get me back on axis and out of the cold

Leave me now to bring back the days of old

How can we go so easily from classics

To all times of low

No shame to show only our greed

Taking the life from our own

Bloodflow that once fueled the fires of all

Every now and then I see it all

For what it's worth

Empties out the blackness and fills the hole

Gets me back on axis and out of the cold

Leaves me now to bring back the days of old

Brand New Day

I heard you're listening

You're writing off all of us today

Once inviting

You're trying to push us away

Don't try and play the innocent guy

And then say hi to me

'Cause I can see right through it all

And it's a brand new day

And you're in my way

I made a big mistake

Trusting so easily

Now awaiting

You're taking advantage of your own

Friends who trusted

Disgusted by your actions alone

Now you try and bite the hand

That feeds your insincerity

Now your own greed

Is the only thing that you can see

And it's a brand new dy

And you're in my way

I made a big mistake trusting so easily

And if you think that I am gonna stand aside

You've got a big surprise thinking I'll fall in line

I won't fall in line

Now you're wasted

You're making it all come down to this

Taking all of you're proud of

And then selling out to it

Laid to Rest

Wake up, call upon the ears of all

See how water left behind the salt

Construed out of pain to heal the wounds

One truth left behind to us from you

You were taken

Hero of my world undone

Laid to rest now

We count days to nights and weeks to years

Without wait a moment for the pain

Sit down watch the damage do its deed

And see how what you do you do to me

Even though I missed the day you were taken

Heroes of our world undone

Laid to rest now

Done with whatever life can bring

Taken away

Laid to rest forever

Robot Eyes

Turn me on and face me to the world

Back me up far enough

So I can watch and learn how I'm supposed to be

Through these eyes in my head

Life begins the wheels start to spin around

Don't live in fantasies

Just be on your way

Here's a list of all your priorities

Make us proud to say:

We're the parents of a good machine

Keep your eyes straight ahead

Take your vitamins like we said

You'll be fine

I guess your first test is to see how you can fit in

Finally I feel like I'm alive

I was nothing but a dream in disguise

I was silent before now I finally get to say

How I see it all so strange

My destiny is on a timeline with fate

Let me dream awhile

For the chance of a life to be

Nine to five now systems overload

Just trying to get by living in the mode:

Work first then find the time

To drink it away

To try and hide depressions of my days

Now I'm fine

But the dirt in my ale is at the bottom of every pint

Finally I feel like I'm alive

I was dying on the inside out

I was silent today now I finally get to say

How I've been feeling so strange

I've been dancing on a wire with fate

They can cramp my style but they can't take it away

Finally I feel like I'm alive

I was dying on the inside out

I was silent for years now I finally get to say

How I've been feeling so strange

I've been dancing on a wire with fate

They can cramp my style

But they can't take it away

Life Goes On

Out on a one way street again

I'm taking fire in each direction

Can't see the light down at the end

It's getting cold and there's no action

Maybe it's the only way

Anyone can live life day to day

Fight to see through the rain

You'll be alright take it easy

Don't let these hardships bring you down

Because times like these will come around

Believe me things will be ok

I'm taking heat from all around

I'm given no respect for reverie

Can't find a truth without a doubt

Sorrow's arms are now around me

Maybe I should abandon what I said

Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead

To get out of this hole I'm in

You'll be alright take it easy

Don't let these hardships bring you down

Because times like these will come around

Believe me things will be ok

You'll see the stars keep shining down

You'll know the world keeps turning 'round

You'll find that time keeps passing by

Along with the chance to try

So why not make it worth your while

And see that life goes on

Believe me things will be ok

Life goes on
