Verse 1 Finding our bliss As we’re trying to trust Learning the just When we’re all prejudiced Verse 2 One day or the other We all end up chasing a shadow Falling into error Not to feel, not to feel this unrepentant hole Verse 3 Black or white Gray can’t be right Our despise over lies Took hold onto our lives Verse 4 We’re so up close To an infinite part of a whole Chorus Truth can confound And lies will let us down We must find our way Through the vagueness of the gray Life’s a matter of perspective Verse 5 Wars over some fictitious beliefs And insidious mistakes Tunnel vision, our weaknesses As we’re folding on ourselves Find them! Give you! Help me! Show us perspective Find them! Help us! Give me! An incentive to carry on! Verse 6 Our world is beyond repair How can we fix the unfair? And carry on! Verse 7 Should our chase Ever come to an end It can’t be all wrong Cause nothing can be found On our burial ground Chorus Truth can confound And lies will let us down We must find our way Through the vagueness of the gray Life’s a matter of perspective

Verse 1 I've fought these so many times Stumbling on thoughts that seed their doubts They fly in and they fly out Leaving my body completely dry Verse 2 Death's on request I feel walled in and sore Does my mind try to fool itself? The pressure of being sure Chorus Face to the ground Any torment must have an end When no one's here to understand Time to look around This is out of control My world's fading like an untold tale I'm face to ground, the panic must end Verse 3 Numbness and fear are kindred I'm so tired of playing dead Just one small breach It's all I need To rise from the quicksand Chorus Face to the ground Any torment must have an end When no one's here to understand Time to look around This is out of control My world's fading like an untold tale I'm face to ground, the panic must end Verse 4 One by one you leave my side As soon I feel I’m about to die Too late you can’t make amends I buried my head back in the sand Chorus Face to the ground Any torment must have an end When no one's here to understand Time to look around This is out of control My world's fading like an untold tale I'm face to ground, the panic must end (X2) Verse 5 I stop to catch my breath and look behind There's nothing left for me to lay on These thoughts stepped on every part (X2) (Of my mind) I'm marching with no strength in my life This is my last chance to put up a fight I must take back what's my own When I'm face to the ground

Fit of Anger 04:52
Verse 1 Incinerate Is all he can think of (is all he can think of) I understand the hate But fire is only true love Verse 2 Rise and shine Once again You can see the despair Through the smoke curtain And all the screams unattended Verse 3 My urge is burning inside (I seek guidance) From desir to ashes (I suffer the same way) How many have to die (I feel no shame) From the collateral damage (No more innocence) Verse 4 His gloom is so pure Why does he need a cure? Verse 5 Rise and shine Once again You can see the despair Through the smoke curtain And all the screams unattended Chorus Embrace the heat Step into the seat of madness Where reason can’t deny This constant fit of anger Can I cautherize the bleed? And your fury'd be timeless Where feelings come and die From this fit of anger

Verse 1 Uncanny sensation Unfolding in my reality Dreamlike advection Watching over me Verse 2 Under a dome Waiting for my thoughts to come home Drifting the days And the nights are the same Bridge Awareness Anomaly Consciousness Breaking away Pre-chorus Hear me, take them home My senses surrender But don't let my thoughts vaguely roam The haze of a conjured lie Chorus In the eyes of Homunculus I willingly follow my purpose Everything fits and is in place But he doesn't care to explain the chase Verse 3 Identity Part with my body Hovering My now senseless humanity Bridge Disturbed By the absurd A third person look Of my thoughts dancing away Pre-Chorus Hear me, take them home My senses surrendered But he let my thoughts vaguely roam The haze of a conjured lie (Is this home? echo home...) Chorus In the mind of Homunculus I willingly follow my purpose Everything fits and is in place But he doesn't care to explain the chase Bridge Awareness Anomaly Normality Nothing of such therein Chorus In the mind of Homunculus I willingly follow my purpose Everything fits and is in place But he doesn't care to explain the chase When Homunculus thinks for himself The reason why is hard to tell But I feel deprived, I can hear me cry Contrived Depersonalized

Blank Stares 07:44
Verse 1 Looking at your empty bed You finally feel something new Good riddance? Acceptance? You found the strength to break the loop Sister... you built a world for deceiving But you couldn't hide the marks of a victim Verse 2 You closed the door on me While he sucked the life out your of eyes Victimised, like you were waiting to die I tore down the walls to see inside Verse 3 He preyed on your confidence Making you a fool, making you a tool He took everything How could you sit on the fence? Verse 4 You suffered in silence all alone And concealed the damage for so long I couldn’t turn a blind eye to your blank stares I heard your silent blares Pre-Chorus How much did you have to suffer Before you could see it through Your vision was blurred By this fear controlling you Chorus I've come to feel your pain A burden you couldn't leave behind Why have you kept it all inside? I've come to feel your rage Your eyes said what you couldn't hide Sister... Your bonds have been untied Verse 5 Every day was the same He drank and brought you shame There was one solution To end the delusion Verse 6 All the sacrifice for this change And to get rid of your chains I made him pay and disappear So you can control your fear Chorus I've come to feel your pain A burden you couldn't leave behind Why did you keep it all inside? I've come to feel your rage Your eyes said what you couldn't hide Sister... Your bonds have been untied

Verse 1 Am I the only one? To see it all that way It has already been gone But you’re still kneeling to pray Verse 2 For those who seek the truth Enlightenment Its substance is transient Nothing’s absolute Verse 3 In the absence of facts You reach to someone, You reach to something A perception of your acts Hiding in a red herring Verse 4 A false dichotomy The appeal is too strong But the line is so thin You can’t ignore what’s in between Can’t you peel off this second skin? Chorus Where do you find this peace inside? Can I let it all go, just for a while? I must find my way Through the vagueness of the gray Is this really a matter of perspective? Verse 5 Reason’s taking its toll Giving up the burden of proof It’s a part of me I can’t control Always finding an outlook Am I the only one? To see it all that way Verse 6 I’ve salved myself from this, but why am I still sad? I’ve come to my limits, I need to leave before I go mad Chorus Where do you find this peace inside? Can I let it all go, just for a while? I must find my way Through the vagueness of the gray Is this really a matter of perspective? Verse 7 I’ve reached this day A sense of peace to embrace Seeing all the shades of gray I looked to other way Come what may And join the alternate part of me
