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

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

Doubting Disease
05:14
|
|||
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

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
