this house is not my home
These walls were meant for protection
But all they do is hold me in
I don't feel safe
I don't feel right
It's always crossing my mind
How did things end up like this
I can't even sleep at night
How did you think you could raise a son,
When all you do is raise a flask?
How dare you call me your son
How dare you call this my home
I'd trade anything for a family
You'd trade my life for bloodshot eyes
we have come to a point were you can either move on or dwell
Either way this life moves here with or without you
You must choose not to dwell
I question daily how could I rebuild a world when I couldn't rebuild my home
Nothing matters
But nothing matters
But what in front of me
My life exists as nothing but a story
And if there's anything that I have learned, it's how a bitter man
will do what he can to live a lie
just to find respite, to take and run from his only son
My head and my home
have become a battlefield
and every day is a fight for my life
Those who bathe in the past soak in their own bitterness
And if there's anything that I have learned, it's how a bitter man
will do what he can to live a lie
just to find respite, to take and run from his only son
Ahh
look at what you've become
See what you have done
Look at your son
I'm so over this

I watch you stand above
Constantly watching us
Are we
Are we your rats in a maze
Am I your monkey in a cage
Despite our best efforts
You still rule our land
You hold the world in your hand
That's not enough for you
(What will appease) x2
You tell me cling my appetite
Yet you still come and take a bite
(So speak out and listen
The time has come to take back what's ours)x2
I can't believe I let myself slip into this mess
I can't believe they own the heart heart beating in my chest
Are we really living out our lives
Are we only living corporate lies
so awaken
My sleeping kingdom
the time is now
show me your anger
and frustration
now speak out
you wear a crown of lies
your hollow hearts
held in by ties
I watch as my whole world dies
but you still made your dime
I'm not the Sheppard to all these sheep
I'm just the voice of reason
I'm not the Sheppard to all these sheep
I'm just the voice of reason
The time has come to take back our home
(So speak out and listen)x2

As long as I have ambition
nothing will ever conquer me
nothing will
these currents will never devour me
momentum builds and the waves come crashing down on me
(I'm left alone in a distant sea) x 2
scared to death
what's waiting for me
scared to death
am I truly alone
I made a home
encumbered by trees
I took refuge from those who oppress me
Scared to death
What's waiting for me
Scared to death
I am truly alone
A scene it seems a dream to me
Waves beating on the shore
Wood splinters in sequence
like drums beating for a corpse
I once thought
I was the cure
but lately
I'm not so sure
the disease still pumps through my veins
still pumps through my veins
no I am
I am the infection
Is this all I have to my life
A cut throat world
I'm without a knife
(I'll watch it burn) x 2
smoke signals fly
as my refuge burns
I held too tight
Kid you've got to learn to let shit go
when you need me I'll be waiting
follow the trail, the trail of smoke
when you need me I'll be waiting
follow the trail, the trail of the dead
