MyChildren MyBride Album

If seeing is believing then they've gouged out all their own eyes.
they're confused by the love, the hate, all of the hypocritical lies.
their own misfortunes, creating the selfish disguise;
that will seed the beginning of their spiritual demise (2)

I can't believe this is happening,
my faith depleting somewhere buried inside, alive;
afraid, unstable, but learning that these things will clear in time
I'm so scared, I'm so scared of what I might become

straying from the beaten path that I've been on for so long
finally moving forward in life, acknowledging my faults
that's haunted my every move for what seems like years
my conscience screaming, realizing things aren't as bad as they appear

still anchored in our old ways

and just when you think everything's going to be alright
defenses down, so vulnerable to what once had you gripped so tight

the miracle I needed, no longer mistreated
the life changing motivation, my only inspiration
calm the storms and ill walk the waves
my eyes are open, and I can clearly see

CALM THE STORMS AND I'LL WALK THE WAVES

I can't believe all this is happening to me,
my faith depleting some where buried alive, inside;
afraid, unstable, but learning that these things will clear in time
I'm so scared, I'm so scared of what I might become
and just when you think everything ‘s going to be alright
I'm vulnerable to what once had me gripped so tight

Bitter thoughts test morals and encourage bitter action, pride comes before fall
think before you speak if you even speak at all, SPEAK AT ALL

ill relinquish your heavy hearts of pain and sorry, healing sutures
an unguarded queen pursues, oblivious of her future

i dont, ido nt expect anything, we are all hpeless, but i stay confident
with willingness to take control, we'll make our time well spent

let it sink in,
every word that i said
LET IT SINK IN,
let in sink in,
every word that you heard me say

conquering anything and everything THROWN AT US
we will not be torn, our hearts will stand, they will stand as one (x2)

WE SILL SOAR! (x3)

my victory in sight, a steady heart will not collide with misfortune, oh the integrity (x2)

we're approaching the gloating
of another dealers winning hand
the inspiring delusions
living up to the dreams of modern man
and i swear we put our life into everything; giving all we have,
but we're lacking the reaping , slaughtering the weakest of societies hard working calves

trying to bring us down again,
but were still having the times of our life
what we've lost we'll gain back again
the machine is tearing out our insides

we're picking up all the pieces, all life's thesis, that youve cast aside
insuring our victory from mighty deaths harvesting clock of time
youre breathing down the neck of all our selfish insecurities
birthing the fate, of the hate, thats been breeding all our perfect impurities

we're climbing, still climbing this mountain that you've set before us
we'll do whatever it takes to not make the mistakes,but still this pressures killing us

we're picking up all the pieces, all life's thesis, that youve cast aside
insuring your victory from mighty deaths harvesting clock of time
and only time will tell if this hard life meant anything
we'll do whatever it takes to not make the mistakes,but still this pressures killing us

if all we have still isnt good enough, then whats there left to give
breaking apart the nothing thats become our only incentive

so mark our words, and build our graves
you're the excuse for all of our mistakes
the very reason that we turned out this way
all the failure and all the heart ache

asking, pulling, taking anything left in our lives
the machine is tearing out our insides

so mark our words, and build our graves
you're the excuse for all of our mistakes
the very reason that we turned out this way
all the failure and all of the heart ache

so mark our words, and build our graves
you're the excuse for all of our mistakes

I am the last of a dying breed
the Spartans; built to fight and born to lead
we will destroy the covenant and make them bleed
Cortana lead me through your eyes I will see

Heading off to the halo rings
finding out that earth is the final key
destroying the flood for all eternity
killing brutes, jackals, grunts, and covenant elites

I am the master chief
no one can mess with me
saving the world from catastrophe
unleashin' BXR's and killing sprees

Let's start a match, Team Slayer on Lockout
battle rifles blazin', you're gonna get knocked out
turn the corner, and im'a stick you right in da' grill
gettin' no scoped beat down, I'm one in a mill'

HEADSHOT!

Unstoppable

Team skirmish CTF on Zanzibar,
capturing flags, gettin' my battle scars
time to defend, I'm bustin' heads with my shotgun
second round secured, another battle won

I am the MASTER CHIEF
no one can MESS WITH ME
saving the world from caTASTROPHE
unstoppables and KILLING SPREES

Listen to me, im talking to you.
Be your own friend,
be your own friend, and fight, fight, fight for yourself.
No one has your back, youre helpless
who is willing to stand up for what they believe in?
Nobody
They fold and crumble under fear, and anything else that challenges them.

Rise, and change my friend.

This isnt what it seems,
reality already passed me by.
I'm living in nothing but dreams,
and failing at reaching the sky.
I know you're over there just waiting for me to make the move.

Stand up, stand your solid ground, you're not alone.
I know you're over there just waiting for me to make the move.
Fight hard for all you have,
believe me its worth the effort.
Whats weighing you down?
Do anything. Get it out.
Whats weighing you down?
Do anything. Get it out.

Open up this heart I'm living for, inside of this life I'm fighting for.
Guard your heart and everything close to it.
Rise up and change my friend.
Fix the henderence, bear witness to your doom.
I know you're standing over there, waiting for me to make the move.

I want you out of my life.

I fell asleep a boy, and when I woke I was a man
Forced to mature by this cold world that surrounds us
What once was so innocent before is now lost
Let down by the elders that we use to trust

We were all meant for so much more than this
No more turning back, no more giving in
Although time has locked us in regret
We won't back down, this can't be over yet
(repeat)

I fell asleep a boy and when I woke I was a man
Forced to mature by this cold world that surrounds us
What once was so innocent before is now lost
Let down by the elders we use to trust

We'll water our pillows with candid memories
Praying for things to be the way they used to be
Somehow always blaming ourselves again and again
Hoping that we will finally see the end
All the broken promises and fallen dreams
Courtesy of our creators
False hope busting out of their seams
They're becoming such outstanding traitors

No more turning back, no more giving in
We were all meant for so much more than this
(repeat)

A child so small, locking up everything inside
Scared and alone, the only thing to do is hide
Accepting the decisions that were way over our heads
Hearing the yelling from our tear-covered beds
Now with a void that's only half-filled
Cradling the memories that haven't yet been killed
Although time has us locked in regret
We won't back down, this can't be over yet
We have coped with the pain that is inevitable
Recovered from the deep wound that made us so unstable

We'll live ready for tomorrow like it was yesterday
Caught up in the past when we need to focus on today
(repeat)

We'll flood our pillows with candid memories
Praying for things to be the way they used to be
Somehow always blaming ourselves again and again
We'll flood our pillows with candid memories
Praying for things to be the way they use to be
Hoping that we'll finally see the end

No more turning back, no more giving in
We were all meant for something so much more than this

The blind leading the blind
Unfortunate misfortunes of my life
Tests and trials, I'm in denial
Ending up face down in my own hands
The blind leading the blind
Finally having the strength to open up my eyes
Placing bets, my hearts turn to shine
Ending up face down in my own hands
Day after day I wait, there's nothing left but apathy
Time to kill, and you're not worth my time
They've got me facing back to back
I'm failing but still picking up your slack
But still these pieces will not fit
A nervous wreck, and the worst gets worse
Time to kill, and you're still not worth a second of my time
Why are you fighting for your life when you're already dead?

Day after day I wait, there's nothing left but apathy
Time to kill, and you're not worth my time
Excuse after excuse
They've got me facing back to back
I'm failing but still picking up your slack
But still these pieces will not fit
I'm a nervous wreck, and still the worst gets worse

I need a witness, today I become a man
Tonight I will end this
Enduring, inhaling, waiting on this tide to come in
These waves keep tormenting, crashing down on everything I have left
Barely able to withstand the pressure of life's cascading tests
With passion I pursue
Eager to conquer I still push on
With passion I pursue
Well I'm an open book, still pushing on
I'm just waiting on that splash of fresh air
Something to ease life's heavy load
That relinquishing last breath
Just to know that I made it past another day
Just to know that I made it there unscathed

An empty barren carcass, armed with a mind
With ambition for victory, I confide
To encourage, invoking all that's inside
(repeat)

I prevail over every wicked bitter thing you've said
We, we prevail, mere champions among men

Finally I can breathe again
My lungs no longer filled with disbelief
This lighthouse still guiding me home
I can breathe again

WE WITHSTOOD, WE DEFEATED, WE HELD OUR GROUND

No longer choking on failure's thick heavy scent,
WE MOVE ON
Tired but still prepared, eyes ahead, no turning back
I prevail over every wicked bitter thing you've said
We, we prevail, mere champions among men

You made this bed with idle hands,
tired hearts, and unwoken souls, our
death is out new breath
my coma is my life

Sleep on, dream on
Circle the sky

I know you're better than this
You're not the same as you were before,
You've changed you're not the same

You're not the same as you were last night
You've changed, you're not the same
The I Love You's and goodbye huges, right out
the door

I can't believe you did this to me
I can't believe it happened again
And I'll pass 10,000 just to be with you
And I'll pass 10,000 more for you by my side
With you by my side, how can you fail
With me by your side, how can you die
A murder, a modern day suicide

Circle the sky

If every star fell out of the sky tonight
Every wish I'd make would take me closer to you
Have you ever wanted something so bad it hurts?
To never wake from the world that you once knew
(repeat)

You said we'll meet where the dreams are made
So I'll climb in my battered ship and voyage to the ends of the earth
Closing my eyes and setting sail on the dark waves
We'll suck this dream world dry of every ounce of love that it's worth

I've fallen and I can't get up, such intoxicating synergy
Flying to the highest mountains and swimming through the darkest deepest seas

I'll search for what mother nature finds most divine
Let's get lost in this moment, I'll do anything to make you mine
Inhaling each other's ecstasies, admiring your God-given design
Together forever, finally our souls can intertwine

We'll wake the dead tonight to tell them all about the love we found
Sitting and listening to the dry bones crawl out of the ground
They'll dance till dusk with great bliss and celebration
And then they'll hide like the moon when it sees the sun

I'll search for what mother nature finds most divine
Let's get lost in this moment, I'll do anything to make you mine
Inhaling each other's ecstasies, admiring your God-given design
Together forever, finally our souls can intertwine

If every star fell out of the sky tonight
Every wish I'd make would take me to you
Have you ever wanted something so bad it hurts?
To never wake from the world that you once knew
(repeat)

You said we'll meet where dreams are made
So I'll climb in my battered ship and voyage to the ends of the earth
Closing my eyes and setting sail on the dark waves
We'll suck this dream world dry of every ounce of love it's worth
