With a God's hand, the oceans move into the land.
Far, wide, this tide will take you where you stand.
As the flood continues to grow and expand,
Even the most brilliant beasts stagger like lambs
While the ocean comes crashing down,
The captain's ship, remains his crown.
The women and children, are lost aboard pleading to turn around.
But the captain commands their torches to strike me down.
Round and round they all, want to burn me down.
With no time to waste I choose the plank.
As I take my dive I can't help but think,
Just how did I allow their fire, to be all they'd need, to cast me out to sea!
With the weight of my pride I've sunken down deep.
Safe beneath the water, I can finally breathe.
Stuck under the reef where no can see.
Safe beneath the water, I can finally breathe.
And I'm finding myself fighting the urge to sleep.
Is it a hopeless feat? Will anything ever be what it seems?
Is it a hopeless dream? A skewed view sends a man's brain racing.
And don't you ever forget that this is for life! A true family!
Safe beneath the water, I can finally breathe.
Stuck under the reef where no can see.
Safe beneath the water, I can finally breathe.
And I'm finding myself fighting the urge to sleep.

My scorched lungs, hold a deep surprise.
Oh radiant light, how I wish tonight I could see you shine.
But my bloodshot eyes are fully committed and ready to die.
And I'll fly with their ghosts following close behind.
Yet these demons seem to hurt me just fine.
I swear to God that for this I would not ever lie.
I've died once for them before. But their lies aren't secrets anymore.
I've died once for them before. But their lies aren't secrets anymore.
And they feel safe as if I were nothing more,
But my soul wants to even the score
And they feel safe as if I were nothing more,
With my body at the bottom of the ocean floor.
I will return, forever I may burn, to channel what I've learned.
I will return, forever I may burn, to channel what I've learned, from beneath the Earth.

Can we open our eyes, enough to view the whole world for all it's lost, crushed under stone. Remove yourselves from these self inflicted wounds.
Because we should know, nothing is a to b, everything goes beyond, what the eye can see.
Go ahead and crash your teeth against something more obscene. This is the way that we feed, after tasting the sea.
Because we should know, nothing is a to b, everything goes beyond, what the eye can see......and what the mind can conceive.
When I'm getting down, and feeling like I need to resign. I've gotta hold my head up high and appreciate the clouds as they divide.....how divine! The way things align.

Bury Your Burden: Part 1

Watch out! When push comes to shove
You'll be the one who finds out how you learn to run before you crawl. This is the message sent from above.
This is not where you belong dear....
When there's nothing right to the left, bury the burden and forgive all else.
March forward without rest, you've accomplished nothing until you've bled.
When we are young, we look forward to so many things....in vein it seems.
Yet when we grow old, we rehearse the memories...as we day dream.
Broken glass swallowed it down, crushed my lips, whos smiling now. In the end here's the truth. You shattered my heart now bleed it through.
Prophecies of lost dreams. These are things I've been lead to believe. I just agree with the scene, I just agree with the scene, just agree with the scene surrounding me.
I just agree with scene....why hesitate. Isn't this why we were made? There's no other choice. I'm prepared to lose my voice to claim what's mine, for I'm entitled to only what I have strived for.
We have arrived...bless us or kiss us goodbye. a simple task, remember the past, forms message has been left.
When there's nothing right to the left, bury the burden and forgive all else.
March forward without rest, you've accomplished nothing until you've bled.

Why is a man blind? Only to see what his heart believes. This, this is why through hindsight I.......I never trust the eyes of change. I'll ask you. What profit does one gain, from strife and pain? One result comes to.......heartache.
You are not at all who you claim to be. In fact, you bit your tongue! And allowed the flames to be.....
Choke! Choke! Spit! Coming into blue.
See my heart swell over you!
Was it love, you betrayed?
Was it love, you betrayed?
Was it love, you betrayed?
Cause it was love I tried to save!
How am I supposed to breathe a word when you keep taking my breath away? I promised I'd never let myself burn but because of you, I met heaven on earth!
Only one change since day one, but the moon never changes for the sun. Dear miss oblique yesterday's don't live through the week. You follow your footsteps as you stumble to your own beat!

She sleeps just like the walking dead....pressing onward without remorse. A fiend for the kill! Tearing flesh from bone.
Tearing flesh from bone
Life is a constant struggle against self discovery. We bleed ourselves to live, but we pray for war!
So let's find some common ground, you filthy lush. Nothing but a bad taste left in my mouth. When you reflect, you can place your bet, that this outfit left you soaking wet.
