Here I stand, staring at the sky with so many questions. Here I am, staring at the sky. Our time is now! This future belongs to us, we made our choice, the lines are drawn. This future belongs to us, to make the most of what we have. We cannot wait on the lives we were given, and I see the sunset. And after all this time, I don't know what I am fighting for. I don't know what I am fighting for. What am I fighting for? Which side will you stand?

The Operator 04:13
Your subconscious is taking control, of everything you've ever known. Blindly leading you astray. We've found the culprit! Take chase, don't let him get away! Do whatever it takes to make him pay. He's been neglecting the law for far too long. The time has come to right all these wrongs. There he goes again, he's ignoring the chances we've given him. Will he ever learn? The jealous sound of your anticipation building, practical thinking was your only friend and now thats leaving. I've been awake for over far too long, its time for me to face the mirror and confront all my greatest fears The hands of the clock move slower much slower. While I feel the shame weighing down my shoulders. I've been a victim for far too long, how much further must this go on? Now I've become addicted to this growing sickness of greed and tragedy. We won't believe your stories and fake alibis. You've been caught. Cowards can only run for so long. And in the end, was it worth it? Why would you throw your life away? No, I have made too many mistakes this time around. I didn't mean to hurt the ones that I loved, but I couldn't escape the sound.. The jealous sound of your anticipation building, practical thinking was your only friend and now thats leaving. I've been awake for over far too long, its time for me to face the mirror and confront all my greatest fears The operators shouting "final call!" This is the last chance I have to protect this life I've come to love. As the lights dim down, my time will come. It's time for me to answer to all the things I have done so wrong.

Low Tide 04:02
I had a crazy dream the other night. There I was, completely motionless, at the edge of the beach. The sun was settling in the distance, with the waves at my feet, she called to me. Her voice it sounds like a song to me, I can hear her sing so clearly. The sirens song is hypnotizing, and it's leading me out to sea. (out to sea) I am determined to find the anchor that brings me back to you. How can you prove a life's worth fighting for? When there is nothing left, it's hard to find a reason to continue. I promised I would fight for you, I would die for you if I was asked to. I'd do anything for you. An endless battle is continuing, deep inside my soul. It's left me without hope I can't keep up this fight. The pressure's beating down my chest. A constant battle, my heart against my mind. It's never a fair fight unless you put aside your pride. But I'll keep searching for the answers, I will take what I can get. i'll do my best to live this life with no regrets. I could have saved you, but you did not accept my help. Your bloods been flowing colder since I tried to ease the thoughts racing through your head. Keep your chin up, is all I have to say. Anything to help you watch the sun rise, just for one more day. How can you prove a life's worth fighting for? When there is nothing left, it's hard to find a reason to continue. I promised I would fight for you, I would die for you if only I was asked to. I'd do anything for you The world has so much to offer, and there is so much more to live for. More than you will ever know. We all will stagger, but if we stay strong we never fall apart.

Obsolete 04:17
Somewhere else, theres a lonely way. I've got nothing else to say. Somewhere else, is a dream I never had. I am traveler returning home. I've got stories to tell of the salt and the dirt that makes the earth. (that make the earth) I got lost in the wild plains. As the wind blows, my lips are dry as bone on choppy seas of salt. There's nothing left for me. Nothing for miles but sea. There's nothing left for me, just stardust memories. I can't remember which place I can call my home. I've been forsaken, I'll never be forgiven for turning my back on the ones who've shared my pain. I've got stories to tell of the salt and the dirt that makes the earth. (that make the earth) I got lost in the wild plains. And as the wind blows, my lips are dry as bone on choppy seas of salt. There's nothing left for me. Nothing for miles but sea. Is there something waiting on the other side? As I'm running through this tunnel, I wonder what I'll find? Is there someone waiting on the other side? I've been wandering down this darkened path alone. (where do I go?) I feel so obsolete, incomplete, incapable of feeling just what i need to feel like a human being. To live a life with some sort of meaning. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The beginning of the end, one small step into another life. Slowly reaching for the silhouette,

the end has finally come, and I embrace it with welcoming arms. The warmth is so inviting, despite dividing my soul from my body. They scream "oh god can you please help me? Break us free from these chains that confine me." I won't be imprisoned, for any longer. I'll be set free from these rules that define me. I've been staring at the sky. I've been waiting for the answers to these questions. I often wonder who I could've been and where I could've gone. I'm balancing on the thread that keeps me hanging onto reality. One more move and I will fall to the depths below. They scream "oh god can you please help me? Break us free from these chains that confine me." I won't be imprisoned, for any longer. I'll be set free from these rules that define me. I will be set free. I'll be set free from these rules that define me.
