1.	The Bliss Of Ignorance 01:23	lyrics	buy track
Is this the end of the world At least that's what we're told We gave up all our control To try and save our souls Because the world won't admit That we can't live like this So carry on and exist In all your ignorant bliss
2.	Forgive And Forget 03:13	lyrics	buy track
I can't find a reason A reason to believe In wasting education Through the ignorance that they feed In debt to imagination Respect unto their priests And if rapists get to heaven Then heaven's just not for me Forgive everyone Forget what they've done Or so they said We know it's all wrong But sing the same song That's in our heads I can't find a reason A reason to deceive Within this mass delusion Through the ignorance that they feed In debt to imagination Respect unto their priests And if rapists get to heaven Then heaven's just not for me All your gods are dead now All your gods are dead
3.	Insomniac 02:53	lyrics	buy track
I can't seem to even close my eyes Tonight all my fears will come to life I can't hear or see you But you're haunting me tonight Put me back to sleep So everything will be alright All I want to do Is to fall away from you Because I can't bare the truth And with all I have left to lose What am I supposed to do I can't seem to even close my eyes I need the sweet comfort of your lies I can't hear or see you But you're killing me tonight Put me back to sleep So everything will be alright And I can't see what's wrong with me So put me back to sleep
4.	Omens 02:42	lyrics	buy track
We don't belong here That's what they'll all say But manipulated minds will only want to obey Do we have voices If we've no right to say That we can't live this way We're sick of thinking And we're not questioning why Scared to know the truth and so we settle for lies And now we're sinking We all look up to the sky But we won't save ourselves You don't want to know yourself Just like everybody else You'll ignore it all until it's over Omens are what we've left to abhor Manipulated minds will only want to ignore in adoration But we can't take anymore We've seen this all before You don't want to know yourself Just like everybody else You'll ignore it all until it's over But you know it all too well We're all living in this hell You'll ignore it all until it's over
5.	Left Behind 03:53	lyrics	buy track
I'm all on my own Your skin is cold now And I should have known One day we'd all fall down How can this all be real If all my wounds won't heal How do I deal with this Now that you don't exist Every word I write Will keep me up tonight Cause when you shut your eyes We all got left behind And I don't know why Although I tried to I can't say goodbye There's nothing I can do Why I can't say goodbye
6.	Last Words 03:22	lyrics	buy track
What can I say, what can I say With this infection in my brain Why do I pray, why do I pray If this is a fate words cannot change So patiently I wait to see divinity How could I be what's wrong with me If misery was meant for me What did I do, what did I do I lived the way you wanted me to There's no excuse, there's no excuse If we're all born to be abused
7.	Vicious Circle 02:58	lyrics	buy track
You fill your veins with the toxicity To cloud your mind with irrationality Ignore the darkness and cling to your faith This vicious circle is all too much to take With all that we've been through If only we all knew That nothing ever lasts forever We wouldn't count the days Or let them slip away Cause no one ever gets to heaven If there was hope in your recovery You didn't hesitate to throw it away Now all the darkness consumes all the light This vicious circle is the end of your life When will this end
8.	Cold Reader 04:02	lyrics	buy track
They'll lie to you If you want them to If you need to believe And don't want to grieve Cause they're not talking to the dead They're painting pictures in your head Sinking their teeth into your mind To sell you all their fucking lies We've all been taught Comforting thoughts To ignore the cold We've all been sold Cause I don't know Why I can't seem to tell myself it's true And I don't know Why I don't want to be here without you
9.	Count Your Blessings 03:50	lyrics	buy track
Count all your blessings that don't exist Because in ignorance, you found your bliss You threw your wealth in the wishing well But you won't wake from this fucking hell Please tell me why I don't feel right And if you close your eyes Pretend it's all alright You'll never know, you'll never know You're so reluctant to hear the truth That what you worship won't worship you In self-deception, you can't be shown That in your reflection, you're on your own And if you close your eyes Pretend it's all alright You'll never know, you'll never know So keep them open wide And you will realize When you're alone, you're all alone
10.	Illusions 04:24	lyrics	buy track
With an itch beneath our skin We're waiting for life to begin But we don't ever wonder why We are so afraid to die And now you can't pretend your life won't end You don't realize you believe in lies You're choking on the fiction you've been fed It's all in your head, it's all in your head If we're deluded, all from birth Does the illusion make it worse Cause you don't like the way it tastes But dread the morning you don't wake I don't want to be here But I'm just too scared to die I know I won't be remembered And it makes me wonder why I don't believe you
