Fallacy 03:42
Verse 1 Why do we need these things? A fresh promise of a brand new day, with added complexity Where we have drifted from the past With simplicity of everything and worries we control Chorus [Wind, rain, sun is all we see] The fallacy of man innovating destruction [Hate, greed, blood are what we keep] Bring an end to this complexity...eventually Verse 2 But why is it gone? This is a thing that needs a thing that we can't explain And it pays nothing per day Does your privilege deserve this? Damning a soul choking there in the smog For your greatest display...was it worth all the poisonous days Human dignity up for sale, your ego in play, should your legacy repay? Chorus [Wind, rain, sun is all we need] The fallacy of man innovating destruction [Lust, fear, pain is all we see] Bring an end to this complexity...eventually Chorus [Wind, rain, sun is all we seek] The fallacy of man innovating destruction [War, harm, death is all we speak] Bring an end to this complexity...eventually

Eye to Eye 03:39
Verse 1 As you open your mouth, I know how this will end You can open a case you can't successfully win I've heard it all before, but I am not buying If you're looking for acceptance I won't be complying Chorus Tell me what's wrong with this I cannot reconcile We're face to face but not eye to eye You're sowing doubts in my hardened mind And for you these teeth they have no bite Verse 2 This has always worked with an amount of satisfaction An intellectual kingdom I built, with its gates so high There's nothing left to decide (your position is weak) A missing piece to confide (what validation do you seek?) Isolate, destroy, vindicate, and deride A position I need for my safety to sacrifice Chorus Tell me what's wrong with this I cannot reconcile We're face to face but not eye to eye You're sowing doubts in my hardened mind And for you these teeth they have no bite Verse 3 Are you here to confirm my bias, or help me grow inside? Should I trust you to heal me or hasten my demise? Or hasten my demise? Chorus Tell me what's wrong with this I cannot reconcile We're face to face but not eye to eye You're sowing doubts in my hardened mind Tell me what's wrong with this I cannot reconcile We're face to face but not eye to eye You're sowing doubts in my hardened mind And for you these teeth they have no bite And for you these teeth they have no bite

Verse 1 Like an unwelcome guest With permanent residence Is standing on my chest It's taking away my confidence Existing outside my head Will it ever make any sense Living in the past instead Fighting a fog that's so dense Chorus I'm giving into pain To see the forest for the trees Keeping me sane Through this doubting disease This doubting disease This doubting disease Verse 2 Catastrophize the same Fortify my sense to heal Expecting it all to wane To reconnect with all that's real Superficial sense Artificial generated rage Connecting all my hesitance Concluding this patronage Chorus I'm giving into pain To see the forest for the trees Keeping me sane Through this doubting disease This doubting disease This doubting disease Bridge Surrendering to my reality The function of keeping balance It will never have finality Accepting this circumstance Chorus 'Cause I'm giving into pain To see the forest for the trees Keeping me sane Through this doubting disease This doubting disease Through this doubting disease This doubting disease

Accuser 04:49
Verse 1 I'd never hurt anything is what I told myself in defense (and what we swore) Every pact – assured promises while the needle starts to infect (can’t take anymore) Branded; stand back for war Retracing steps to call back what is real or pretend Another song, another loss What could be sold as pretense; this is my stand Verse 2 I've lost everything. Can't sell my soul so I will repent (and what you swore) Connected to the act. Words are just currency digging me deeper in debt You trade your facts for the score Banking on what they'll believe would be real or pretend To trample on a beaten man What has been sold as revenge; this is the plan Chorus Nothing more than what you've done Something more than what has been Nothing more than what you've become Something more but never again Never again Verse 3 My final chance to bring a close to everything about intent (and what's paid for) They still react - confusing struggle with intent to give in to attack (jaded evermore) I will come back and restore the faith in me to tell what was real not pretend Another song, a higher cost What could be held in contempt, this broken man Chorus Nothing more than what you've done Something more than what has been Nothing more than what you've become Something more but never again Never again Never again
