8 AM I wake every day
Like sheep to the slaughter I must obey
These doors won't open even though I try
I cannot get inside
This lock and key won't work for me
No matter how hard I fail to entertain
From this I feel I need to gain
Reprieve from the mundane
I'll show no grace
I'll show no grace to you
And I know just what to do
In order to show you
That I am no fool
A silent massacre
In (mew?) of the world
Come the reckoning
All the places that I could've seen
And all the people that I could've been
These train tracks take me way
But, oh they lead me nowhere
I can't hear, see, feel or think
I'll reign down on you callamity
Autocracy restraining me
From sprouting wings and soaring free
All the places that I could've seen
And all the people that I could've been
These train tracks take me way
But, oh they lead me nowhere
I am the nameless
Do not care for me
I'll drag you down
Elitist hiearchy
Oppressing
I'll drown you in grief
I'll drown you in grief
Come callamity
I have a target in my sights
She is so unsuspecting
I'll suck the life right through her teeth
In vain depravity
All the places that I could've seen
And all the people that I could've been
These train tracks take me way
Though they lead me nowhere

Mayday

Weightless but falling
In 200 tonnes of steel
Choking in midair
Crawling back down to the earth
Mind racing and pacing
Existensial in a nose dive
Do you wonder what comes after?
Close your eyes and see for yourself
An ethereal dream, haunting chorus of blood curdling screams
When you took to the air, did you really care where you were headed?
Will you plead with God or family
For one more day, just one more breath?
Wasting away under sea water
Never felt so close to home yet so far
Wind lashes in rage
Blood rushes through our heads
Inspiration gone, trying to hold on
There's a million places we would rather be
Instead of here, frozen in fear
Weightless but falling
In 200 tonnes of steel
Choking in midair
Crawling back down to the earth
Mind racing and pacing
Existensial in a nose dive
Do you wonder what comes after?
Close your eyes and see for yourself
All engines flare, a ball of fire cuts through the air
When you began your day, did you think that you'd be on your way
Back to ground at the speed of sound
Your convictions put to the test
Mayday, mayday they're calling
What would you've done differently
Hold them, hold them closer
Tell her, tell her tell her you love her
Chasing, chasing them back it's when keeping them together is no longer an option
Crawling into the sea, scrap metal and coral reef
Cabin fills with water
Crushes under pressure
Said that you would be here tonight
To say your goodbyes and your sorries
Now we're sinking the bottomless trenches
Where I laid no more

Hold him down don't let him think
Sign the contract, blood is ink
Sell your soul???
Control the body and break their mind
In your eyes
Desperation and despise
Hold on tight to material
Erase all that you know
Watch as these gears
They grind our bones down to a pulp
And father time gives us no quarter
When your time runs out before you're in the grave
Will you hold onto all the money that you've made?
When your wall's come crashing down to the ground
Will you be at the forefront or standing in the crowd?
Before the clock strikes 12
Make an impact on the lives that surround yours
And when the clock strikes 12
What kind of imprint will you leave on to the world?
Push her down don't let her speak
Express emotion's seen as weak
It's just a phase they say you'll be fine
Your medication no peace of mind
The sands of time they move so quick
Their life is running thick
Your legacy to fill your throne
Dedicated to another's ???
This life you lead
Nowhere to wander
Indiscretions and strife
Bring you back to life
Followed the line
Now you're alone
This is where you live
But this is not a home
Chronophobia you say?
What is that?
What do you mean?
Here we go
No more time
This is it
End in sight
Here we go
No more time
This is it
End in sight
Chronophobia you say?
What is that?
What do you mean?
