Hard Lines 04:12
Open lines, can't afford the payout Gone but not forgotten Drift away and even through the sellout Didn't wanna watch them At all costs the man becomes a legend Finding ways to stay clean Close the door and find your way to heaven On the way you lost the dream When it's all been said Can't get ahead Don't be afraid, afraid Hard lines and you've had enough Still waiting to call your bluff Hard lines and it's all the same Just step up and take the blame All and all we give before we take it Really ain't a raw deal Only bad if no one ever commits There's just a look that's left to steal
2.
Head down Last round All solutions the same Fallen Believers No one left in the game Old world Confusion Sands of time running low Caustic Religion Burns away too slow Keep them guessing Taught the lesson Locked away behind the door Fought the fever A true believer Still the same as before I gave up the one that was really for you Tried being the one that was really for you Lost cause Short straws Clean hands, washed away Open Ended Only living today Head down Last Round Some will win, some will lose Fallen Believers They were able to choose
3.
Black balled Burning all the bridges to heaven Slack Jawed Running outta issues to sell I don't want it I don't need it I don't see it Thought it out and maybe I do Couldn't do it Apologize for telling the truth Outmanned Manifesting darkness in eden Too planned Wearing out your welcome too soon I'm not the one who went home too early I'm not the one who stayed out all night I don't want it I don't need it I don't see it Thought it out and maybe I do Couldn't do it Apologize for telling the truth Outta time Picking up the pieces of mercy Going blind After all the visions are gone I'm not the one who went home too early I'm not the one who went home at all
4.
Full on the work is done A pentecost for the prodigal son Don't you believe it isn't over We climbed the mountain To seek the truth Nothing ventured, nothing gained Tomorrow's promise Eye for a tooth Forced the feeble to be trained And when the verity was rotten to the core The choices laid before all To take their charity was better that before Pride followed by a fall Time was we cleared the fog Chances are if you're dragging the dog Ain't gonna be much of a hunter Onward and upward We travel on Only believing what we're seeing There's just one question Before it's done Is life or death the symbol of being
5.
Kick Back 03:40
Can't stop the whining one who's bleeding Last up, the final curtain call Look out for any sign of leading I've said it all before You've heard it all No lock on any door Looked over anyone who took the fall Kick Back, begun Kick Back, undone Same old story Kick Back, behind Kick Back, unkind All that Faded Glory Don't walk Don't ease the pain of strangers Beneath there is an alibi Watch out There's a storm a'coming Watch out When the blood starts running Watch out It was all because of you
6.
So long, consider me committed Stepped out of the rat race Not wrong, wouldn't have admitted Not really a bad place Stay strong, my weakness is forgiven Still new to the whole scene Long gone, didn't think I'd give in Real easy to come clean All signs pointed down the same road The last step is the hardest Even though it was shy of a load You still held it in contest It seems all has been lost Butcher, Faker, Policy Maker Once all the rivers are crossed Butcher, Faker, Policy Maker About time, taking what is needed Won't end the confusion In line, hating how they're treated A simple illusion All wrong, take it to the limit Just needed a game plan So long, consider me committed Not really a big fan All signs pointed down the same road The first step is the hardest Just waiting for it to explode So you can all protest
7.
End of Story 04:16
There was a man who saw the reason There was a man who changed it all There was a man they charged with treason There was a man who took the fall We knew a man who had the power Made us all see eye to eye He took us to the final hour and never asked the reason why Have to stand up for something Have to live for today There's only one thing left to say All looking for something All needing the cure Time passes on empty feelings and it Ain't stopping for sure You were the man who saw the reason You were the man who changed it all You were the man they charged with treason You were the one who took the fall We always knew who had the power We never saw eye to eye Sitting in the ivory tower He won and never had to try
8.
Common Enemy 04:11
Edged out Take your best shot It's last time you'll be seen Throughout Found your weak spot Regression toward the mean Wrong one Utility routine We all can get along With a common enemy Head strong Born into the scene We all can get along With a common enemy Passed by Made to measure Never take the blame Full on Take your best shot Nothing stays the same Wrong one Utility routine We all can get along With a common enemy Head strong Born into the scene We all can get along With a common enemy Can't carry all the weight Of all decisions made Defend your alibi Until you made the grade
9.
You life was worth living but only so long You gave up forgiving and singing the song All of the lies And all of the time Giving up easy Was your only crime Looking back now And trying to sing Sleeping with angels Is the natural thing Look back on nothing Try to make sense Destiny's blessing Went over the fence All the world's problems You knew all along You gave up forgiving And singing the song I tried to call your bluff You knew you had enough
10.
Insisting on resisting Won't put the fires out The hands of time persisting Causing a thrash about Victims of the circumstance Seeing black and white Martyrs or just arrogance In their own right In their own right We got the place surrounded Ain't gonna go too far There'll be no thought propounded The carnival bizarre Falling off the edge of time Army for a fight Living was their only crime In their own right In their own right
