Today we make a decision that we have to face Consequential gains far from what we can explain Now disengage from everything Breaking me free from the greed and hate Preservation of yourself Ignore the pain, Become the Change The Wolf You Feed it chooses You For which one will you follow, depends on you Growling, and showing teeth Teeth bare prepared to attack No choice a wall to your back Or restive, slumber in peace Always awake, sleep with one eye open going through the motions Sleep with one eye open Always aware, going through the motions Far from home where do we go from here Our faults do not define us Face to face and now death is near Your blood will satisfy this urge I feel new ground up under paw My senses soon elate me If I don't know anything at all This girl she came to save me The Wolf You Feed it chooses You For which one will you follow, depends on you Growling, and showing teeth Teeth bare prepared to attack No choice a wall to your back Or restive, slumber in peace Always awake, sleep with one eye open going through the motions The Wolf You Feed it chooses You For which one will you follow, depends on you Growling, and showing teeth Restive, slumber in peace The wolf you fed has chosen you And now he'll follow every move Ears back, eyes on you Balance is restored Who saved who? I am the wolf you feed I am the wolf that grows I am the wolf that hides right underneath your nose I am the wolf you feed I am the wolf that grows I am the wolf that never lets go With one foot on the ground my friend, one in the grave I cannot fight the wolves within, they are here to stay No matter where I stand or fall, they know their place I can smell it in the air now, I can taste it on my lips I am the wolf that you feed

How can we live this way when the world goes dark Everything that we've built is falling to the start Now we are lost and alone fighting through dark And now we slowly drift apart Rip the fabric of time Broken and shattered it's why The hourglass holding the sands of time folding in Falling further deeper into the dark Falling faster deeper into the light Broken down I see why you don't believe in me I never thought that I'd feel this way This world is filled with so much hate and strife I can't believe that it affects my life We're all just hiding our pain inside Damn the darkness, damn the light No good, no more Help me re-light the flame Give me a good reason to set this whole world ablaze Show me a moment Hit the breakers light this place Give me a good way around it I don't wanna be stuck in the darkness Lights out the darkness rising up in me The sun is setting on my perfect dreams Lights out the darkness rising up again Tonight's the night that we make amends Why should I waste time believing when there is no evidence to show I can't describe what it is I'm feeling, lost in the fade of your glow Everything you love is dead Death is now your last regret Everyone you love is dying Dying to live again When the world goes dark Can you save yourself from yourself? Rip the fabric of time Broken and shattered it's why The hourglass holding the sands of time folding in Falling further deeper into the dark Falling faster deeper into the light Broken down I see why you don't believe in me I never thought that I'd feel this way This world is filled with so much hate and strife I can't believe that it affects my life We're all just hiding our pain inside Damn the darkness, damn the light No good, no more Help me re-light the flame Give me a good reason to set this whole world ablaze Show me a moment Hit the breakers light this place Give me a good way around it I don't wanna be stuck in the darkness Lights out the darkness rising up in me The sun is setting on my hopes and dreams Lights out the darkness rising up again Tonight's the night that we make amends Why should I waste time believing when there is no evidence to show I can't describe what it is I'm feeling, lost in the fade of your glow Lights out the darkness coming over me Lights out the darkness rising up again Why should I waste time believing when there is no evidence to show I can't describe what it is I'm feeling, lost in the fade of your glow Everything you love is dead Death is now your last regret Everyone you love is dying Dying to live again I don't wanna be stuck in the darkness When the world goes dark Can you save yourself from yourself?

You contradict every single word that comes forth from your mouth What you think and feel that you deserve only motivates your wealth Every day I'm searching for a different way to something more You wonder why your life is just so empty and hollow? What you fail to realize there is no way to stand behind No one should have to feel the way that you make me I want you to see me for what I really am Full of rage Can't let go Hatred fills my every step And though I'm not quite through I gave my all to you and in return you threw it all away And now you know And now you know that it's true It was not really ever yours to give Without all your support I lost my will to live This light is fading My life feels to short The darkness is degrading I can never let this fall apart I can't break this down, I can't try to pretend (I am listening) I don't know where to start, I'm afraid of the end (You can start right from the beginning) Time after time this is how we find ourselves Don't forget who you are Don't give up on yourself Time fades Our lives are changing Everything else just falls away What you think and what you believe in will only lead you astray Every bridge I'm burning now lights the path I'm walking on I know it's not stable enough to hold myself up for long When this world that brings us down finds a way to let us doubt ourselves in almost every way without ever having to say I want you to see me for what I really am Full of hope Can't let go Confident with every step And though I'm not quite through I gave my all to you and in return you threw it all away And now you know And now you know that it's true It was not really ever yours to give Without all your support I lost my will to live This light is fading My life feels to short The darkness is degrading I can never let this fall apart I can't break this down, I can't try to pretend (I am listening) I don't know where to start, I'm afraid of the end (You can start right from the beginning) Time after time this is how we find ourselves Don't forget who you are Don't give up on yourself Don't forget who you are Don't give up on yourself Tell me (I won't forget) Say it again (I won't give up) All or nothing Die for something This world will never believe in you The sooner that you believe the truth The better off you will be Believe in yourself and believe in your dreams I don't want to break out I just want to break through And I'm gonna get lost on my way to you Wavering doubt the weight drags you down It'll be like water in your lungs when you drown Wandering lost the weight drags you down It'll be like water in your lungs when you drown Don't forget who you are Don't give up on yourself Be like water Calm and sound
5.	Smoke & Mirrors (ft JT Cavey/ERRA) 04:10	lyrics	buy track
I want to believe, I hate to concede Its hard to wrap your mind around it Everything I know is what I perceive When I open my eyes I want to see Where do we begin, where does this all end Why do you reject what you reflect? Facing yourself is hard enough And now we are here to call your bluff And now that you think you know Everyone around you and all the colors that they show Who do you answer to And now that this has gotten through Everywhere that you You're only going through what we have experienced All I ever wanted was, was for someone to explain to me Who I am, why I'm here Why I feel this way, why my reflection it isn't clear All I smell is smoke, filling up my lungs until I choke On words I know that you don't deserve Reflecting every time that it hurt All that I've come to know Mirrors don't reflect your soul They don't show you as you truly are Your reflection is just another moving part Hold the line, don't blind me with deceit Our time is running is out, consuming my thoughts with all this doubt In these days I see a different gaze Facing yourself is hard enough, gather the strength to get back up And now that you think you know Everyone around you and all the colors that they show Who do you answer to And now that this has gotten through Everywhere that you You're only going through what we have experienced All I ever wanted was, was for someone to explain to me Who I am, why I'm here Why I feel this way, why my reflection it isn't clear All I smell is smoke, filling up my lungs until I choke On words I know that you don't deserve Reflecting every time that it hurt All that I've come to know Mirrors don't reflect your soul They don't show you as you truly are Your reflection is just another moving part All I smell is smoke Fill my lungs until I choke on these words There's a haze on the glass you see Distorting the person you claim to be Panic, dominating your vision is slipping Twisting every sense that I had faith in All I ever wanted was, was for someone to explain to me Who I am, why I'm here Why I feel this way, why my reflection it isn't clear All I smell is smoke, filling up my lungs until I choke On words I know that you don't deserve Reflecting every time that it hurt All that I've come to know Mirrors don't reflect your soul They don't show you as you truly are Your reflection is just another moving part I want to believe, I hate to concede It's so hard to wrap your mind around it

Fortunes changing for everyone in this room Tonight you're all going to witness the destruction Of your ego and your sense of self Now just embrace this new way of life and fade Your courage will guide your own future Believe in yourself, this will get you through Stop searching forever Happiness is right to you I don't believe that you have ever been alive until you have struggled to survive Desperation won't have you feeling whole It's silencing, it's deafening to the soul It shuts you down, takes away your will to live You're slowly losing all you have to give Fortunes changing for everyone in this room Tonight you're all going to witness the destruction Of your ego Your courage will guide your own future Believe in yourself, this will get you through Stop searching forever Happiness is right to you I don't believe that you have ever been alive until you have struggled to survive Desperation Desperately searching Searching for meaning Meaning in Nothing Desperately searching, searching for meaning in this Patiently waiting Waiting for this to end This is our last chance to be To be the change that we want to see No more missteps No excuses for the weak Fortunes changing for everyone in this room tonight

Down. Circle farther down. Soaring higher now. Higher to the clouds. Higher. I'm taking you out no matter where you hide. You cannot run, you cannot try Escape is not an option for you at this time It's more complex than we thought I apologize Let em burn I'm here to kill everybody No remorse None given Let em burn I'm here to kill everybody This last chance Has been given Down. Circle farther down. Soaring higher now. Higher to the clouds. Higher. Times are changing Who knows how long this will last Always sinking All this thinking Drowning in me Slowly breathing All i can see, all i can see Who knows how long this will last All I want, all I need As I lay here dying My last breath On my knees The path has taken me So let em burn I'm here to kill everybody No remorse None given Let em burn I'm here to kill everybody This last chance Has been given

I think it's past time, that we sat down and had this conversation About what is really going on and all the mistakes that we're making And I've tried as hard as I can to get through to you You dragged me down into this, it's time to settle this feud The storms they are merging, the hatred is surging, the planet is purging There is no denying what we are designing, the death of a climate Why would you stand in front of rational trains of thought Tie yourself to the tracks with dynamite strapped to your back This is for all the lives that you've taken This for every life, back down, face it All the lives taken in vain This is for every time you made me put a dollar sign on every single life We're all wage slaves make us pay to live and die The rain comes down The waves crash in I know the sun will rise again Our only hope To weather the storm To pick up the pieces Return to the norm Drive the point home Looking back at all the damage we have done to our planet And I can't believe we failed to see our impact of devastation I'm tired of always wasting time trying to get through to you Just my luck our time is up, I regret the time with you The storms they are merging, the hatred is surging, the planet is purging There is no denying the water supply is not killing with kindness Why would you stand in front of rational trains of thought Tie yourself to the tracks with dynamite strapped to your back This is for all the lives that you've taken This for every life, back down, face it All the lives taken in vain This is for every time you made me put a dollar sign on every single life Put a dollar sign on every single human life The rain comes down The waves crash in I know the sun will rise again Our only hope To weather the storm To pick up the pieces Return to the norm I thought that hurricane season was over Drive the point home
9.	The Path 03:01	lyrics	buy track
I tried so hard to forget a path that's left me buried and broken No matter how hard life hits, I always swing back with the notion I'll never back down, I'll never give in, Never give up, I won't quit I can't begin, I can't forget, I won't give up, I won't give in Every day's a new day, another chance at life Every day's a new day, another chance to make things right Chalk it up to your faults, Blame it all on your luck Hide behind your walls, Walk it off til you're numb Time and time again we all feel stuck where we are But after all these years comfort finds me from afar This path I walk its full of blood because of my mistakes They make me human while I'm striving for perfection every day I cannot be afraid Stuck is desolation Striving to succeed Striving for perfection Begging on your knees You are no exception Every day's a new day, another chance at life Every day's a new day, another chance to make things right Chalk it up to your faults, Blame it all on your luck Hide behind your walls, Walk it off til you're numb

Deception has lead us to where we were before It digs down, way down to my core Are we breathing or choking? This is the life of the broken I speak the truth, I walk the path Forward Into the dark, into the light Backwards Circling out, I'm reaching out Crying For you to come, come here and save me Liars are rewarded even when they speak the truth No one will ever believe you as long as you give them reason to Inception will bring us to where we started at It scratches the surface to open the wound Am I alive? Am I dreaming? Am I screaming? Liars are rewarded even when they speak the truth No one will ever believe you as long as you give them reason to You're disguised as the truth My eyes have departed The enemy has two faces That stare into my Deception has lead us to where we were before It digs down, way down to my core Are we breathing or choking? This is the life of the broken I speak the truth, I walk the path Forward Into the dark, into the light Backwards Circling out, I'm reaching out Crying For you to come, come here and save me Inception will bring us to where we started at It scratches the surface to open the wound Am I alive? Am I dreaming? Am I screaming? Deception. Deception has lead us to where we were before It digs down, way down to my core Are we breathing or choking? This is the life of the broken

It caught me off guard this situations out of my control And it seems I'm going nowhere If this is a dream I need to wake up and be rid of it Before my mind becomes the culprit There are no lonely nights when the alter ego steps in Go forth into the fight you will never win And in the crazy days my demons riding shotgun Disappear into a time that never was Last call, all I want to know is that you're coming too And now everywhere we go we are trying to get through Let's take this ride Down One last time All I want you to know, one last thing before I go I know I'm looking back, but I'm pushing forward Pushing forward, no clear path for me I don't know what this is, I'm time traveling Turn it up, tone it down, walk it back now You're caught in my guard this situations under my control And it seems you're going anywhere I want you to If this is real I need to wake up and go back to sleep Before my mind becomes a suspect There are no lonely nights when the alter ego steps in Go forth into the fight you will never win And in the crazy days my demons riding shotgun Disappear into a time that never was Last call, all I want to know is that you're coming too And now everywhere we go we are trying to get through Let's take this ride Down One last time All I want you to know, one last thing before I go I know I'm looking back, but I'm pushing forward Pushing forward, no clear path for me I don't know what this is, I'm time traveling Turn it up, tone it down, walk it back now Don't go Roam Into the night Don't go Rogue
