AMORAL LYRICS

1. Beneath

I'm cold but it's okay
I can't breathe, still I want to stay
Please don't pull me back up, I'm perfectly fine down here
If you ever truly cared, you will let me dissappear

You will let me dissappear

I left all of my troubles on shore
Where I am I do not need them no more
Underneath it all, the very end of the line
Accompanied by many, still this moment is all mine

Take me, swallow me
I want to drown in you
I surrender myself to the waves
That have come for me

With the ultimate embrace
I am gone without a trace
Amidst all beauty, I'm home again

Storms replaced by calm, speak has turned to thought
No one to concider; no, nothing to be bought
I can see the ones before me, now finally at peace

Take me, swallow me
I want to drown in you
I surrender myself to the waves
That have come for me

With the ultimate embrace
I am gone without a trace
Amidst all beauty, I'm home again

A life of rush, greed, spite, hurt, hate
I refuse to participate
No loger do these values apply
Goodbye...

Oh, the colors and the shapes
Might get to be too much but I know I can take it
I won't underline all the reasons for my escape
For you, these reasons are worthless
This will all be over soon
And no, I'm not afraid
So grateful for all that I got from you
All that you've shared with me
All that I'm 'bout to become

2. Wrapped In Barbwire

King of the hill that once has been
Now just a ghost in the machine
In a game where the end keeps justifying the means
The backs are stabbed, the throats are cut
All rules have been wiped clean

Like a re-run of a show seen way too many times before
You forget some of the twists, but the end you know for sure
It's painted up so bright and big
Like something that's worth dying for
Don't it hurt when those who hailed start to ignore

Your empty words don't mean a thing to me
I take my finger off the pulse leading the blind
Barbwire promises, I'm leaving you behind
Barbwire promises

My song is wrapped in barbwire,
And the wrapping's done by you
I watch you choke all that inspire, you're narrowing my view
Hands tied behind my back
I sit and take these soothing sounds
Not able to relax until the red-eye's off the ground

Your empty words don't mean a thing to me
I take my finger off the pulse leading the blind
Barbwire promises, I'm leaving you behind
Barbwire promises

3. Silhouette

With words she paints her silhouette
Unfocused shots to forget
Her thoughts laid out for all to go unread

Turns on the lights for you to see inside
Not a thing in her world that she wishes to hide now
The eyes bring comfort to her life

Where are the well-kept secrets, something not to know
The picture too precious to show

A man observers, confused he’s shaking his head
Something he believed in turns out to be dead now
Pen to the paper, this is what it said

Spyglass turned obsolete
When all the world moved right next door
The writing on the wall came true
When the now became all that she knew

She gave herself away when handing over control
And placed a pricetag on her soul

Spyglass turned obsolete
When all the world moved right next door
The writing on the wall came true
When the now became all that she knew

Spyglass turned obsolete
When all the world moved right next door
The writing on the wall came true
When the now became all that she knew

4. Things Left Unsaid

I am not myself today
Just got informed you’ve gone away
Threw my whole little world into disarray

Can’t see the forest for the trees
Won’t turn our heads for any less than a wildfire
I wanna say that I’ve changed but that would make me a…

Helped me see all that I’ve got
Made me work on what I’m not
What good is a script if there’s no chance of getting it shot

Can’t see the forest for the trees
Won’t turn our heads for any less than a wildfire
I’d like to say that I’ve changed but that would make me a…

The weight of reality hasn’t sunk in yet
The things left unsaid being my biggest regret
And all that you helped me with I won’t soon forget

Head in my hands, tears in my eyes
Not so much as a simple goodbye
Denial works only the first little while

I’m gonna grab the day by the throat
And shake it for everything it’s got
There has to be a ray of light
Hidden in this moment of darkness
The strain of an invisible chokehold
Threatens to blacken a memory
There is no way this was meant to be

The weight of reality hasn’t sunk in yet
The things left unsaid being my biggest regret
And all that you helped me with I won’t soon forget
The things left unsaid being my biggest regret

5. (Won't Go) Home

The moon above it lights my way
This highway empty now, been driving night and day
Even in the dark, my vision could not be more clear
If you’d ask me now, I’d say I’m staying right here

The first time I was guessing
The second time I know
I do not want to go home

The first time I was guessing
The second time I know
I do not want to go home

The first time I was guessing
The second time I know
I do not want to go…

With open arms I welcome the unknown
(Mesmerized by all you’ve shown)
It wouldn’t take me long to make this place my own
(It is with you where I belong)
How beautiful a landscape when you paint the people out
(How beautiful you are)
Breathing easy now, isn’t that what it’s about
(I take you in, I let you out)

The first time I was guessing
The second time I know
I do not want to go home

The first time I was guessing
The second time I know
I do not want to go home

When the flaws begin to show
I do not want to go home
I won’t be going home

6. Closure

A perfect smile I cannot ruin
I looked way, she passed me by
And though I’d love to be the target
This piece of glass helped me deny

All I wanted was some closure
A chance to move on with a smile
Now I know it’s not to happen
Not while I'm here, not in this life

Every time the past emerges
It brings it right back to the start
Keeps reminding of the burden
Forever carried in my heart

All I wanted was some closure
A chance to move on with a smile
Now I know it’s not to happen
Not while I'm here, not in this life

7. Same Difference

Stale beer in hand you keep on glancing my way
Just by that look I know exactly what you're 'bout to say
You wanna share with me your thoughts and visions grand
I hear you talk, but see I'll never understand

With your handed-down philosophies
And your self-inflicted marks of ignorance
You make it hard to find no sympathy
But then again, I guess we all deserve a chance

You were born for more
Don't keep holding on to old misinformation
What you're looking for
Is something better than a hate-infested mind

On shaky grounds you all decided on an enemy
Then closed your eyes from facts that wouldn't fit your theory

When you inherit inhumanity
The old man's lifetime's worth of bitterness
I'm sure it's hard to face reality
To figure out a proper reason for this mess

You were born for more
Don't keep holding on to old misinformation
What you're looking for
Is something better than a hate-infested mind

You were born for more
Don't keep holding on to old misinformation
What you're looking for
Is something better than a hate-infested mind

Born for more
Don't keep holding on to old misinformation
What you're looking for

Is something better than a hate-infested mind

You were born for more
Don't keep holding on to old misinformation
What you're looking for

8. Hours Of Simplicity

We lean towards the earlier hours
Hours of simplicity
We shun away from all which devours
Devours precious memories

For all I know, our past must show

All our worries once were temporary
The need for expression, with all else secondary
Our knowledge equals guess
When we’re content with less
All our worries forever temporary

I know this one will slim down my chances
And so I’ll have it be
I’ll step in front of the chariots of progress
And let the weight revive me

For all I know, our past must show

All our worries once were temporary
The need for expression, with all else secondary
Our knowledge equals guess
When we’re content with less
All our worries forever temporary

All our worries once were temporary
The need for expression, with all else secondary
Our knowledge equals guess
When we’re content with less

All our worries once were temporary
The need for expression, makes all else secondary
All knowledge equals guess
We were content with less

9. Wastelands

Familiar only by the name
Nothing else has stayed the same
The one from days away has died
When all was said you shoud've lied

Won't forgive, i won't forget
No way back, the mind's been set
Work that scar, don't let it heal
Don't let it heal

If i told you soon i'll be gone
Would your behavior change?
Or would you still feel the need to
Keep me out of range

10. This Ever Ending Game

Our entire world with all it’s prisoners
Is hidden in her eye
You can fight it all you want but you see,
The mirror doesn’t lie

Passive self-destruction by the numbers
Greet the reaper with a grin
Don’t you see a problem with the state that you are in?

Live feeding, can’t look away
A perfect day for the mind to stray

Shame seems to be now long forgotten
And we keep passing down the blame
What once considered cold and rotten
Now in the limelights all the same

You’ll never see it
Standing so close to the flame
Just another chapter in this ever ending game

How much it takes for us to jump the gun,
Leave everything behind?
The results more frightening
Than every Rorschach test combined

Live feeding, can’t look away
A perfect day for the mind to stray

Shame seems to be now long forgotten
And we keep passing down the blame
What once considered cold and rotten
Now in the limelights all the same

You’ll never see it
Standing so close to the flame
Just another chapter in this ever ending game

Shame seems to be now long forgotten
And we keep passing down the blame
What once considered cold and rotten
Now in the limelights all the same

No, you’ll never see it
Standing so close to the flame
Just another chapter in this ever ending…
…in this ever ending game

11. No Future

My god, I think I did it again
Let my guard down, now look where I am
I feel it coming, it’s just a matter of time
Counting backwards still I’m cought for my crime

I keep getting so much, yet I have nothing to give
And I know it ain’t right but I’m still learning to live
This thing as it is, it’s holding me back
This past that I have, pulling me off the track

I’m getting tired of being me all the time
Would you take over just for a while
Somebody please, just for a while
Just for a while…

Losing myself between the black keys and the whites
Choosing myself instead of balancing wrongs and rights
I see no future in what’s becoming of it
No future in any of it

Asking permission, making excuses
Still confused of what my deal with you is
It took a while but now I can see
It ain’t fair to you and it’s not working for me

Losing myself between the black keys and the whites
Choosing myself instead of balancing wrongs and rights
I see no future in what’s becoming of it
No future in any of it

Losing myself between the black keys and the whites
Choosing myself instead of balancing wrongs and rights
I see no future in what’s becoming of it
No future in any of it

12. Of Silent Stares & Fire Lost

A bond of yesterday
Somehow got lost along the way
It’s amazing how little there’s left to say

Was all of this done in vain?
A silent stares is all I gain
This house that we’ve built can’t seem to keep out rain

Holding on to my mask of indifference
A shrug of the shoulder, embracing the end
Like a card game with time as the dealer
We’ve arrived at the crossroads my friend

I remember those days, not a dime to our name
Discovering new, finding more of the same
I look back at those times with only light in my heart
Such a shame to see a good thing torn apart

Used to search for a heart of gold but it got me nowhere
Bending backwards, make you feel you belong
Still you just were not there
Can’t hold you hostage,
Don’t wanna force you for the ride
If the passion is gone please step aside

We used to have the exact same fire,
But where are you now?
Where did that hunger go, did you lose it somehow?
I can’t believe I have to ask you to like it
The one thing so easy for us

Yeah I remember those days, not a dime to our name
Discovering new, finding more of the same

I look back at those times with mostly light in my heart
Can’t let one weak link take it all apart

We reached the end of those days, still I’ll hold on to our name
Won’t see me fold at the top of my game

A bond of yesterday
Somehow got lost along the way
It’s amazing how little there’s left to say

13. Staying Human
