Oh you tell me it's heaven, looks like hell. Oh you say that it's heaven, looks like hell. Its not easy to be here cause we’ve crashed and burned And were stealing all the fun Are you ruining the Kingdom Oh we are and will make a difference just don’t tell anyone It’s not common to believe me Cuz I look around there’s no one here like me. So you tell me you've been there, I can't tell. You say I’ll never get there, but I’m doing well. Oh you say that its heaven Cause we’ve crashed and burned And stealing all the fun Are you ruling the Kingdom Oh we are and were willing to take it Just don’t tell anyone Have you ruined the Kingdom? I can find myself and don’t forget just where it is you came from. Were not hurting anyone, It’s not common to believe me But I look around there’s no one like me.

IIt's a shame that you’re hurting. And you've said that it's early. A million reasons to be here and a wall of great worry. There’s no one that says it better. I know where I've fallen. I know that I can’t combine, progress and peace of mind, with no one share my time. Sit here watching the river flow, constant forgiving season. Comparing all of those times before, this is where we can begin. Every lesson makes you harder. I know where I’ve fallen. I know you’ve a troubled heart, may have gone wrong from the start, I love you don’t be put out. I know there's a great divide, smothering our piece of mind, we can have it all just fight. Just show me a better place I’ll be better, maybe never. You know what to say and you’d better, the words lead us to nowhere. Missing things that we shouldn’t, with a feeling you’re keeping. Distance between a burden and the root of the reason. You’ll know when its time for surrender.

Delilah 03:59
tThe most mighty in the book of ages, can’t control his own lust. After a woman that is most contagious but to him she’s a must. Oh Delilah. Youre no good for me Oh Delilah Your beauty abandoned me Strength coming from his hair a fearsome fighter no none could stand in his way Slain a thousand with the jaw of a donkey not knowing one day he would pay Now blindly grinding circles in a prison, no one listening Eyes gouged and Shackled uncontrolled lust for women bad decisions Just because you’ve failed, you haven’t lost its not final Failures not final, If you’re not dead, you’re not done Called to amuse in front of thousands of people, Samson lifts his head to the sky Prays for strength while taking down the pillars, kills them all and judges wont lie.

Inertia 04:39
They say its common to let it lay, I'm just a simple believer in fantasy Old man Newton he had his way, just keep it moving even - We live today. The very thing you think is holding you back Keeps you sane- it's not that simple they claim Near but foreign Were flawed and Clearly broken Nearly Foreign Look to a dark sky admire the glow; can see the past and future just let everything go. I'm feeling useless now there's no tellin how-maybe we can just pretend We live for today. Tomorrows nothing if we can’t learn to remember Keeps you sane- it's not that simple they claim Near but foreign Feeling flawed and Clearly broken Nearly Foreign Hear all the distraction, Subtle Infraction Awaiting your reaction

Wonderland 04:07
Why is it you and I can't seem to say what's on our mind. I've never had to leave without you. What is the price of time we see today but never find The Years pass we never really capture I wonder I'm truly mystified with all useless games were blind believing in all of the madness. I'm loving all those things I've always felt have been denied How bout a simple conversation I wonder My limitation, a limitation, an imitation no inspiration. My limitation Its litigation, an imitation, no liberation A throw away age of short term gain and instant gratification, I chose to try mine by the painful test of time. Why did I use to care so much about all your complications When all you ever really wanted was me blind I Wander.
