Holy Ghost

Petal to the metal, my head in the clouds
I can't stop or I'm headed to Hell
Another night where I'm ringing God's Bell
Will He answer, will He answer?
The only thing I fear is standing all alone
It all seems so damn clear when I'm out here on my own
A blank page like a puppeteer's doll
Holy words breaking the fall
A bottle gone and I'm starting to call
Will He answer, will He answer?
I'm in the hands of the Holy Ghost

Stand Up
04:00
|

|
Free from all the anger, free from the pain
Once this bottle's gone I won't remember your name
Free from the prison, and the pain in my chest
Heart's finally free, no longer under arrest
Stand up - you wanna be a fighter?
Get Up - weight is getting lighter
Cast me down for rebirth but the past is in the past
Stand up - you're finally a winner
Get up - gotta be a sinner
Cast me down for rebirth and all I gotta do is stand up
Now I'm liberated from the hate
My fair-weather friends have pierced my armor again
Now that the animal is free from the cage
Bridges burned, nothing learned, onto next page
Don't want to stand all on my own, but in the end I'm not alone
You want to tower over all, but in the end you always fall
Now I'm saying goodbye, I ain't ever looking back

A Silent Vendetta
03:46
|

Hear you sing about sing about "Hail Mary"
And talk about talk about "Cocaine"
Hear you scream about dream about your fairies
And talk about walk about your pain
Never want to hear this again
Your bullshit common sovereign man
Hey Lord, won't you come rest on me
Hey Lord, won't you come set me free
It's a silent vendetta beginning to end
I lost another woman and i lost another friend
Hear you talk about talk about my story
And think about think about my life
Hear you scream about dream about your glory
And falling down falling down one more time
Tell me how you know you're right
With your slurred words and bloodshot eyes

Into The Sun
04:29
|
|||
|
Paradigm, call my name
Paradise, I must escape
Drained of might, don't look this way
Untamed horse, give me a chase
I don't know when I died or where I lay
When I find a path I'm led astray
Into the sun I dare to shine
Don't leave me burned and blind
Aura drained, cold ocean tide
Burn my soul, can't find the light
Bled the wine, but you aren't impaired
War next door, but why should I care?

Side Effects
05:59

How long has it been since I last heard your voice?
It hurts me to know that you made that choice
Come and gone like an autumn breeze
Laid to rest, and your soul set free
I won't call you a hero, you're only a man
Begging for a second chance
Don't you wait for tomorrow to change your mind
There's no cure for the side effects of time
It stood you up, but held you down
Now your bed is the cold underground
The years go by, your chances are few
You're moving on, no shackles are due
I won't call you a hero, you're only a man
Begging for a second chance
From 100 to 0 it happened so fast
Now you're just a thing of the past
Broke the bonds that contained you
Now that I know you're gone, you're one with a song
Don't you wait for tomorrow to change your mind
There's no cure for the side effects of time

Down 4 The Count
04:42
|

|
Stand in the shoes of my fathers, fires they burn in the streets
Looking at all of the damage they've done, blood now it flows at my feet
'Cause I'm takin' shit left and right - soon I'll black out
'Cause one more hard hit then I'm down - down for the count
Humility is mud on my feet, the man in the sky is who I want to meet
Preaching from pulpit up high, it's all a lie
'Cause I'm takin' shit left and right - soon I'll black out
'Cause one more hard hit then I'm down - down for the count
My heartbeat, it deafens my ears, the raw nerves exposing my fears
I turn my head to the west as hot lead explodes in my chest

Blitzkrieg
02:56
|
|||
|
It's a toxic philosophy brother, that feeds on the blind
The sane can't even run for cover, there's nowhere to hide
Is that a fire that i se in the distance, or are you just blowing smoke again?
Changing hearts and minds is dirty business, wont break what you cant even bend
Hey, coming all undone, its a loaded gun, we don't listen
Hey, it's a free-for-all, take your Adderall, we don't listen
Hey, tearing up the streets, and I can't get no peace
Hey, we don't listen, if ignorance is bliss, I'll be your blitzkrieg
Free speech dead in a casket, it's a public execution
Your ideology's a Molotov cocktail, mine's a fuckin revolution
See a light at the end of the tunnel, either bliss or a freight train coming
Be it the end counting down to midnight, better believe I'm gonna hit the ground running

Supernova
04:24
|
|||
|
Supernova - explode in my heart
In your sky - can I be a star?
Gonna set it alight, gonna make it feel right
Gonna feed of the flames until we burn out the night
Supernova, turn down the light
Overflowing - my cup's runneth over
Hard to handle - come a little closer
I'm begging you now, don't you leave me out
In the night ain't when darkest hour comes around
Supernova, your light shines down

I'd cut myself right in two to get a better view of you
A darkness deep behind those eyes manifesting all your cries
And all that I found was a brand new way
And all that I found was the only way
The only way to live my life is without you
A problematic point of view, another broken piece of you
A soulless body out of hand, at last I'll make a stand
And all that I found was a brand new way
And all that I found was the only way
The only way to live my life is without you

Home

Some call me a survivor, but I don't know where to begin
I know I'm more than my inhibitions, but you can't see that through my skin
And all I have now are the memories, and one of these days they will all be gone
And maybe I'm just sentimental or maybe I'm just my father's son
And I don't know where the road will take me
It's pretty easy for a rolling stone
Wherever I end up I'm grateful
To finally call my destination home - I'm coming home
Your state of mind is what you make it and I'd say I'm still halfway to Hell
Maybe home is where you stake it, I'm better now than I've been in a while
And I don't know where the road will take me
It's pretty easy for a rolling stone
Wherever I end up I'm grateful
To finally call my destination home - I'm coming home
If it takes me all damn night, I'll see that morning light
My life ain't set in stone - I'm coming home
