1. Face This World
(Austin/Heming)
Verse 1:
There is a definite silence
Within the starless night
There is a sacred science
Where all our dreams take flight
We are all born in darkness
We face this world alone
It's the journey that defines us
We are the great unknown
Chorus:
Enter the dark
Enter the mind
You came to see
What you will find
Verse 2:
There is a deafening silence
Within the starless night
We use a ancient science
To make our dreams take flight
Although wisdom divides us
We face our minds alone
And debate our own impurity
Details of the seeds we've sewn
Chorus 2:
Enter the dark
Enter the mind
You might not see
so look a second time
Bridge
Verse 3:
There is a threatening violence
that is devoid of right
Laws of a sacred science
Plunged into darkest night
We put the past behind us
We face this world alone
We attack with impunity
and defy the great unknown
Chorus 3:
Enter the dark
Enter the mind
Take a good look at the inside
Enter the dark
Look into the mind
But you might not like what you will find
Bridge
Verse 4:
In a haze where thoughts fade quickly
but neurons fire in time
Locked in a state of lucid dreaming
I look in my mind's eye
Chorus 4:
(and) In the darkness of my mind
I'm left with nothing
And except for the pain within my soul
that comes from long ago
I am not suffering
And I know that the truth can hurt sometimes
Verse 5:
Yeah, you'll face this world alone
from the center of your XONE
You gotta face this world alone
And you're never going home!
Outro:
And I know that the truth can hurt sometimes...
2. Not Again
(Austin)
Intro
Reprise
Bridge
Verse 1:
Well babe I could tell you,
if only you'd listen,
about all these things that I know.
Cause you can't fake desire,
if you ain't got that fire,
that comes from way down below.
(So) I need you tell me,
about what's in question,
or what I've done to make you so cold.
Cause, I think you've been lyin',
and now you've stopped tryin',
so this time I'm telling you so.
Pre-Chorus:
"How the hell can you remember what I did one day 5 years ago?"
Chorus:
Don't go,
Don't go,
Don't leave me here all alone.
Don't go,
Don't go,
Don't leave me, leave me, leave me...
Verse 2:
Now, I'm sure that's there's someway,
that I can convince you,
in so many ways I have grown.
And I'll try to make your needs,
much more of my focus,
with me spending more time at home.
I'll do all of those things,
you say I'm not doin',
and hold you, so you won't feel alone.
So babe, now can you see,
I'll let you control me,
and I'll do all this to make you feel whole...
Pre-Chorus:
"What is it exactly that you want me to do for you?"
"Can I do that?"
Chorus:
Don't go,
Don't go,
Don't leave me here all alone.
Don't go,
Don't go,
Don't leave me, leave me, leave me...
Don't go,
Don't go,
Don't leave me here on my own.
Don't go,
Don't go,
Don't leave me, leave me, leave me...
Lead
"Wait, didn't you say that, the last time we did this?"
"Yeah, you did..."
Chorus:
Don't go,
Don't go,
Don't leave me here all alone.
Don't go,
Don't go,
Don't leave me, leave me, leave me...
Don't go,
Don't go,
I can't believe you just left our home.
Don't go,
Don't go,
Why'd you leave me, leave me, leave me...
Outro:
Hey, this feels interesting,
you know, it's better than that,
I actually feel like myself again.
This really isn't all that bad,
so, you know what,
on second thought,
just go...
3. Passion
(Austin/Saffell)
Intro
Verse A-1:
My eyes grow weary
as I stare out the window
Remembering faces
that I never thought would go away...
Now I'm here all alone
and where did they all go?
Journeyed into the XONE
that I would never know...
Bridge
Chorus 1:
Renew me from within
Thicken patience growing thin
and bring purpose to my actions
From tragedy and pain
make me complete once again
and reanimate my Passion
Bridge
Verse B-1:
And it's not something that I control at all
I'm at it's mercy, found myself against a wall.
but I know someday that something has to break this hold,
I just hope that it is soon because I'm getting old.
Chorus 1:
So, renew me from within
Thicken patience growing thin
and bring purpose to my actions
From tragedy and pain
make me complete once again
to reanimate my Passion
renew me from within
Thicken patience growing thin
and bring purpose to my actions
refit me whole and sane,
Inspiration gleaned out of strain,
to re-animate the Passion.
Verse A-2:
Who gave up so long ago
to become what they opposed.
Tried to go against the flow
But failed along the way.
The drive is gone
cause something doused that fire.
I thought I gave it all I had
against the phantoms of my darkest hour.
Verse B-2:
And it's not something that I control at all
I'm at it's mercy, found myself against a wall.
but I know someday that something has to break this hold,
I just hope that it comes soon, because I'm getting old.
Interlude
Chorus/Re-Entry
Chorus 1:
Renew me from within
Thicken patience growing thin
and bring purpose to my actions
From tragedy and pain
make me complete once again
and reanimate my Passion
Verse B-3:
And it's not something that I thought I controlled at all,
I was at it's mercy, found myself against the wall.
but I knew someday that something had to break this hold,
I just hoped that it came soon, cause I'm still getting old.
Chorus 2:
renew me from within
Thicken patience growing thin
and bring purpose to my actions
refit me whole and sane,
Inspiration gleaned out of strain,
to re-animate the Passion.
Outro
4. Downtrodden
(Austin/Heming)
Verse 1:
Child is hungry, mouths to feed,
Can't bring home a decent living.
Cold and Ruthless in the streets,
Tag a wall, and make your image.
Bound and Broken, do you weep for me?
I'll take whatever you are giving.
Not sure what I want or need,
because this world owes me something.
Chorus:
Don't doubt me,
Don't naysay,
I don't want to hear how you've suffered.
Don't doubt me,
Do you hear me,
you can exchange one grief for another...
Don't doubt me,
Don't naysay,
I don't want to hear how you've suffered.
Don't doubt me,
Do you hear me,
you can exchange one life for another...
Lead
Verse 2:
Stark contrast in the night,
you may not even know we're living.
Everyday we have to fight,
There's no escape from the hell of the City.
Bound and Broken, do you weep for me?
gimme some of what you are giving.
Not sure what I want or need,
but I know this world owes me something...
Chorus:
Don't doubt me,
Don't naysay,
I don't want to hear how you've suffered.
Don't doubt me,
Do you hear me,
you can exchange one grief for another...
Don't doubt me,
Don't naysay,
I don't want to hear how you've suffered.
Don't doubt me,
Do you hear me,
you can exchange one lie for another...
Post Chorus:
At any cost,
at any price,
You don't know what it's like,
the grass is greener on the other side...
5. Greed
(Austin/Heming)
Verse 1:
My soul cries out,
Locked in pain.
Return to me,
what you have stolen.
And I should never,
have trusted in you,
cause now I'm left with,
what is broken.
You came to me,
with paths of glory,
now empty roads are all I see.
I couldn't breathe,
suffocating,
still choking on the mystery!
Chorus:
This is Greed.
This is Greed.
a bitter place,
without compassion.
This is Greed.
This is Greed.
Devouring me, constantly...
Verse 2:
I seek your touch,
I feel you warming,
Only if I've got the key
To want so much,
it's so alarming,
with what I've done to you and me.
I have no fear,
as you have shown me,
Seeing only, what I wish to see.
I'm in so deep,
I'm almost empty,
I'm leakin',
and I can't break free!
Chorus:
This is Greed.
This is Greed.
a bitter place,
without compassion.
This is Greed.
This is Greed.
Devouring me, constantly...
This is Greed.
This is Greed.
a bitter place,
without compassion.
This is Greed.
This is Greed.
I can hear it, calling me....
Bridge:
God of Money!
Destroying me,
Choking me,
Killing me slowly...
God of Money!
Won't leave me be,
I'm your slave,
And now you must beat me...
Verse 3:
How'd I go wrong?
You were so disarming,
Yeah, you swept me off my feet.
I took the bait,
and you were charming,
I let my guard down easily.
I let you in,
and you destroyed me,
then you were just on your way.
So I'm left here,
depressed and lonely,
One last time, I chance my fate...
Chorus:
This is Greed.
This is Greed.
a bitter place,
without compassion.
This is Greed.
This is Greed.
Devouring me, constantly...
This is Greed.
This is Greed.
a bitter place,
without compassion.
This is Greed.
This is Greed.
I can hear it, calling me....
6. Paradise
(Austin/Saffell/Heming)
(Intro)
Bridge 1:
Moving out into the Sunset,
push away from the concrete life.
Escape the depths of a daily struggle,
I want to see the stars at night.
Lucky that I get to do this,
not many get to feel this at all.
Impatient en route to landing
at long last my destination has called.
Verse 1: (enters on 3rd count)
I know exactly where I'm going,
It's been more than a long time.
Chorus:
And now I'm here,
I'm never going back,
You can't stop me...
...And I'll be off the beaten path
So you can't find me...
And now I'm never going back,
You don't know me...
...Live every moment to the last,
until the ending...
Verse 2: (Enters on 2nd count)
This is where I always should have been
Here's where time will wait for me again.
And I get this feeling now and then,
I want to throw it all into the wind.
Chorus 2:
And you're not here,
you're offa my back,
you can't touch me...
...I traveled off the map,
so you can't find me...
(And now I'm here), I'm never going back,
You don't know me...
spend every moment like the last,
until the ending...
Bridge:
The sun shimmers across the water
I stare lazily, hypnotized
Caressed by an endless sky of blue
If you could only look through my eyes.
Man, I could get used to this,
It's worth more than all that I own.
Forget about a life that's so demanding,
At long last, I finally feel like I'm home...
Verse:
Just like a feeling I get now and again
Fleeting glimpses of what could have been
It feels exactly like not knowing
Like I've been gone such a long time...
Chorus:
Cause now I'm here
I'm never going back
You can't make me….
….i've stolen off the map,
So you can't find me….
Yeah, now I'm here,
I'm never going back
You don't know me…
…now every moment is the last,
I can feel it ending…..
Outro:
Lifting off into the sunset
The jet begins its journey home
Smiling, I turn back for one last look
As I wave, it climbs into the great unknown
Wonder what they'll say about me?
Wonder if they miss me today?
but here I am in paradise,
So, what do I care anyway?
7. HERO
(Austin Heming)
Verse 1:
How can I forget, I cannot let go.
The past it haunts me, yet my life remains.
I see his eyes, the bullet's hammer blow.
A sick note, only his death refrain.
Chorus:
Hero,
Dying,
Inside,
Losing a part of me...
Verse 2:
Every night I dream awake, after all these years.
Fade away the grief and hate, try to calm my fears.
Raining blood I am the beast, seems that I'm still here.
All hell has been unleashed, hate becomes my fear.
Chorus:
Hero,
Dying,
Inside,
Losing a part of me...
Bridge:
Is it a dream,
or is it real?
I can't escape,
Paralyzed with fear...
Verse 3:
Terror
Bloodshed
Endless
Suffering
Horror
Merciless
Deadly
Total Destruction!
Terror
Bloodshed
Endless
Suffering
Horror
Merciless
Deadly
Self-Destruction!
Bridge:
Was it a dream,
or was it real?
I can't escape,
Paralyzed with fear...
Chorus:
Hero,
Dying,
Inside,
Losing a part of me...
Hero,
Dying,
Inside,
This is the end of me...
8. Beautiful One Day
(Austin/Heming)
Verse 1:
One Day is not enough,
to judge what you've seen.
You're in the middle, you're all caught up,
you don't know what to believe.
Remember when you were young,
and saw yourself as the Queen.
Your world wasn't hectic then,
you were still wild and free.
(Bridge)
Chorus 1:
Your energy is beautiful,
contagious as can be.
Why don't you just take a moment,
and taste some with me...
Verse 2:
One day is not enough,
and I know what you've seen.
It's what your reading, it's on your lips,
and it's on the TV.
Staring back from the magazine,
like a victim of an evil regime.
A world of purging behind the scenes,
how can this be healthy?
(Bridge)
Chorus 2:
Confidence is beautiful,
if only you could see.
Why don't you just wait a moment,
and no longer be deceived...
Verse 3:
One view is not enough,
and you're how you should be.
It's in your making, it's in your skin,
and the way that you speak.
I understand the way that you think,
and it makes sense to me.
Like the curve at the small of your back,
and the grace of your being.
Chorus 3:
Inside you are beautiful,
outside for all to see.
Why don't you just stop a moment,
and look at you like me...
