END OF AN ERA LYRICS

1. Future Imperfect

The ridicule of justice is proving that you're wrong
To shield your eyes and mute the screen
So you don't know what's going on
Open your eyes now you can see that you're a target of blind hate
And the only thing to understand is who or what's to blame

Sing it loud (Now)

Our lives are television, reality TV
Every single downfall becomes a brand new scene
You can look to a new rebellion to tear down all the walls
But your rebellion is just a product, 15 minutes until downfall

Because we all drown within our lies
And I'm trying to keep my head up but the water's going deep
But we come around and hold on tight
It's time to live our lives
Well this right here is a new sensation
It's here on every TV station
The product is ending your temptation
Well this is a revelation

The product of denial (Now)
The product of our fears (Now)
The product of this terror
Well here is the end of an era

2. Comfort In The Skin

Living for future set on the past
This scene has been dead and this day is our last
Her dream was to change everyone that she knows
I've bled for her scene and now I am all alone

You've got to fight the odds and take it in
Hate everyone that comes within
Whether it's corrupt or innocent
I can't find no comfort in any skin
You're one step closer to reaching the end
Of the line that's drawn through these institutions
Because you look so good when you sell your sins
And you buy the comfort within the skin

Paranoid complex drugs in her brain
Round and in circles but staying the same
She sees herself in such a manic depression
She cuts herself because she needs the attention

We've got to hide and please and spread disease
Like a wildfire burning bridges and trees

Because the one you wronged clips the wings off

3. Revival Of The Fittest

The factory smoke still paints the sky
Low planes heard in fading light
A ghost lives here but I don't know why
So cold a life frozen in time

We keep on digging
We keep on digging these holes
For ourselves
We keep on digging
We keep on digging these holes
For each other

The factory smoke brushes the sky
Four seasons living to die
I watch the sun move across the sky
But all the clocks are on one time
We've got to get out of this town!

Well nothing is working
And nobody cares
We've been killing ourselves
To get through these years
We're just going in circles
And won't stop anyway
Why should I want to live long?
I can't get through one day
So I look at you
And i can't seem to bear
If there ever was a god
Why'd he put you here?
To cut me out of the picture
The scene and the town
But when I leave this place
There'll be no one around for you

4. Waste Of Life

Touch me
With your lies
It makes you taller
But in the eyes
Of those desiring truth
You seem so small

You've got your desperate measures and old extortions
Got to change yourself to please every person
Got your wasted nights with scenes forgotten
Got you days of drama, but you don't stop them

Because
You like to think that you're special
It makes you feel better that you're alive
I am tearing apart these feelings
That are making me lose my head
For the ones that cause all these feelings
Like the whore that's in my bed
With conversational drama
The words that get in my head
Got to tear down all of these feelings
With the darkness turning red
I'm tired of waiting for healing
By the remedies in my hand
With everyone intervening

Well everything that I am
I have only you to blame
Say it takes time to adjust
But it still all looks the same
Your ship is sinking fast
You should go down with it too
The water's going deep
Realize it's all because of you

5. Pendulum

He's gone away for a while
Not telling why
He's tired of living nowhere
His face is mine
Where should I be?
Where should I go?
Who should I speak to?
Who should I know?
Sometimes you've go to vanish
To justify your place in life
But I'm praying the moon will fall tonight
It'll certainly make things much better
There's a time when you need to draw the line
And just let it bleed forever
But I'm praying the sun will burn the sky
And reveal the gates of heaven
But nothing concludes when you die
Because the pendulum swings forever

He keeps the remedy at hand
He's playing God
No questions will be unanswered
With every thought
With every hit

And I can't sleep for God may take me

6. Showdown

I'm gonna make you sorry with this end machine
I'm gonna put my name back on the acknowledgment sheet
I'll take your shows of drama and end their scenes
I'll take your narcissist mirrors and shatter the dreams
I'll use the blood your spilling to write a new tune
I'll take your romantic nights and bring down the moon
You know, I know what happened
I knew it was true
But what I can't believe
I cannot believe it was you

I'm gonna push the evolution to fascist extremes
I'm gonna push the faceless egos off their mountain peaks
I'll take your anthems of insurgence right out of mainstream
We'll say God Bless America, but minus the "B"
So I built walls just to shield myself
From the full force of the feelings I felt
With questions no answers so what to do?
Just end your world
Because I cannot believe it was you

Yeah this is the part of the show where we end the hate
This is the part of the show where we end the games
This is the part of the show where we end the scene, for you

This is the part of the show where we end the hate
This is the part of the show where we end the scene
This is the part of the show where we start to fall
This is the part of the show where you see the fall of the Pieces of nothing
Pieces of nothing
Pieces of nothing
The walls are broken down

7. Vengeance

Well I've now become the nemesis
The recoil of this genesis
But it's so far away
The hemispheres are black and torn
My vengeance comes when your abortions are born
I'm so like you

Well this world it denies, denies it's hate disease
And it drowns it all out with your hypocrisy
But tonight when the light shines upon me
And we spell it all out for everyone to see

You can tread on my feelings my feelings are gone

Lets make this point
Lets make it clear
I've never known someone sincere
But all this hurt I will erase
And make this future a perfect place
Well we all have been used, we're being used inside
And we're dropping and dying like it's genocide
But those spaces created will be filled in time
With isolation, corruption, and your fucking lies

Because we all drown within our lies
And I'm trying to keep my head up but the water's going deep
But we come around and hold on tight
No not this time

Back, get back and give me my fucking space

8. Close At Hand

Staring into fading light
Miles from where we started and the end line

All that's stable seems to change
And the door of moods is open in full swing
But don't you see the world I've affected
With a million minds that I've infected
And we can see the end is close at hand

I never wanted to leave
Betrayed all I believe
To be without you well I can't take it
I never wanted to stay
But what was true went away
To be without you well I can't take it
Drifting into empty space
The first of those to finish in a no-man race
Because it's a world of questions that have no answers
And you think you've got them like a cancer
That's eating away at your wasted life

I never wanted to leave
Betrayed all I believe
To be without you well I can't take it
I never wanted to stay
But what was true went away
To be without you well I can't take it
I never want to change
But all I had rearranged
To be without you well I can't take it

9. Apostasy

Devils haunt in my life's obsessions
Living for the deadly seven
We're playing the games and betting our lives
I've hit the bottom and reached a new high
Envious of every persons pleasure
Touching base at desperate measures
We're playing the games and betting our lives
And digging holes to bury our lies

Of our evolutions remaining
And though my heart is always straining
Of our evolutions remaining undiscovered
Ice is forming and the air will leave
When you're trying to find what to believe
We're playing the games and betting our lives
And leaving hope and faith behind
I've come down to my last confession
I cannot purge this new possession
We're playing the games and betting our lives
And digging the holes to bury our lies

See what this did to me

Of our evolutions remaining
And though my heart is always straining
Of our evolutions remaining undiscovered

10. The Encompass

I'm sorry that I left you marooned
On this planet that looks so blue
My name is spoken and you'll forget
Here the sun rises and never sets

I draw the lines between the stars
And watch them bleed as empty scars
There's no one left so who's to blame
I'm numb to all but I feel the same
Because faith and hope have left this place
Encompassing in empty space

I pray to space
And everything is so far away

Once you find one to react
You never quite seem to get yourself back
Once you find one to react
You never quite seem to get unattached
Once you find one to react
You never quite seem to take it all back
Once you find one to react

Everyone I love will suffocate
Because I couldn't just be honest with me
Everyone I love will suffocate
And now the truth is in my face
