The End

I am the damaged
Stillborn dead soul rotting from within

[written by Level and Buka]

Heroin Hate

Before i kiss and tell i step away
Another drug in my blood
To prove that you don't understand
How could you see through your stained glass?
And say that i'm hating my addiction
Don't you put this one on me i said don't you duck this one
You don't understand
No sympathy
And i don't want to hear one excuse for what's been done to me
Cause when i die by myself
For my self
It's my choice cause this time i couldn't care less
Who you would impress
Cause now this drug in my vein i am trading hatred for pain
And it's no lie to say
That you don't understand
You try to stand there And tell me i'm wrong
Everyone you touch is dieing from lack of instinct
Or resolution
When thinking for themselves
Means to understand
That's where i get my heroin hate

[written by Level and Buka, lyrics by Level, vocals by Level and Buka]

My Sympathies

Before i plead my case
Before we start again
Do you know your place?
Do you understand who started this?
Have you thought this through?
Are you prepared and sure of you?
Did you think that i care too?
From your gentle heart so pure and true
My sympathies
For you mean nothing
Your words mean nothing
Cause it means nothing

It's got nothing to do with me
It's got nothing to do with me
I feel it so violently
It's got nothing to do with me

So before i plead my case
Before we start again
Do you know your place?
Do you understand who started this?
Have you thought this through?
And who is it you answer to
Do you think i still care too?
I'm afraid this ones on you

[written by Klayton, lyrics by Mark Salomon, Klayton, Buka and Level, vocals by Mark Salomon and Klayton

A Thousand Terrible Things

...

[written by Level and Buka]

Silhouette Of Rage

I wish for the best or for death before the worst of it came. I widened my eyes and watched for where the trouble began. I said to myself that i'd help protect the future from them. And stutter their lies because i could be their fool again. But i dont' want to see no more. I don't want to think or hear or speak no more.

[written by Level and Buka, lyrics by Level, vocals by Daren "Klank" Diolosa]

A New Wound

Look inside
See where the pain still lies,
Forget me,
Then watch me fall down,
down.
If what we wanted was the end,
Then that makes sence now
But what if we had never stood so far apart
I should have known I'll never know...

I can take this fracture
I can turn it into strength
I can gnaw between the sutures
I can keep this wound forever
Talk to me talk to me...

Through the hours
Through the ages
I will sit in judgment of the cowardice I have shown,
Never falter
Never displace blame,
I will face myself
Head on and I will bare the shame...

Cry tonight
Force back the tears and sigh.
This advice is like flowers on the grave,
If all we did was play pretend
Then that makes sense now
But what if we had never stood so far apart,
I should have known I'll never know
Talk to me Talk to me.

It's only lies
That we've lost between us,
It's only lies
That we lost between us,
It's only lies
That we lost between us

[written and lyrics by Level, vocals by Level]

The Red Shirt Conspiracy

Is this what you want from me
Blind from clarity
Sucker for apathy
Fails easily
Is this what's inside of you
A message far from truth
You're such a follower
I don't want to be

You're falling
Your breaking
You're blaming
The faults on me
Close minded century
Suspension of disbelief
Born from mockery
Complete irreverence
Is this what's inside of you?
A message far from truth
You're such a follower
I don't want to be

You're falling
They're laughing
All the world is watching
I don't want to be like be
Is this what's inside of you
A message far from truth
You're such a follower
I don't want to be like you

[written by Level and Buka, lyrics by Buka, Level and Joel Timothy Bell, vocals by Joel Timothy Bell]

The Pact

[indian chanting] - if you know from what tribe and what it's all about give me a shout

[written by Level and Buka, vocals by Sage]

Resurrection Of The Ravens

When you break me down again,
Again i will hate your indifference
Your laughter its cries
When you break me down and again
With that glitch in your eye
When you lie
I want to turn away my eyes
I see your fire burning bright dim
I have to turn away my eyes I see your fire burning bright

[written by Klayton, lyrics by by Klayton and Level, vocals by Klayton and Level]

Goodbye

Godless man
Soulless and free
What would it take for me to see
Wanting hands
Take anything they please
Trusting them to you is not right
I'm a gutless man
To scared to look outside the lines
What would I be if I could try
Goodbye
Bitter eyes hate everything they see
Trusting them to you is not right
I'm a gutless man
To scared to look outside the lines
What would I be if I could try
Goodbye
Godless man Soulless and free
What would it take for me to be?
Gluttons tongue
Tastes anything they please
Trusting them to you is not right
Goodbye

[written and lyrics by Level, vocals by Level]

The Only Man I Know

If you crawl through this world seething I know,
I'll know I'll see you again
So practice hard and suck it up
For the last time I know you won't laugh so hard
When it's your turn to try
Cause it's not funny
To see her crying

I want to believe you
I want to believe in you
I wanted to need you
But what if I never gave that part of myself away

Another year has past you by
But still you're not far, so far.
You're not where you should be.
You can't afford to listen to your own suggestions.
When you cry to someone else.
They say don't be so hard on yourself
Take some time to enjoy the good things.
But everything in life is either bought or stolen
Bought or stolen.
Don't say your prayers unless you believe
That you will try to
Red eye for help make them succeed
Just remember that I'm the only friend you've got
I know you won't laugh so hard
When it's your turn to try
But it's not funny
To see her cry

[written and lyrics by Level, vocals by Level, drums by John Zalatel]

Cold Breath of Sorrow

it's over
no!
here it comes
it's all over
no!
