1. RECEPTION FADES

It is, in the end, whatever the hell I want it to be
And when I'm through with it, it's gonna blow a hole
this wide, straight through the worlds own idea of itself
They're throwing bottles at your house
Come on, lets go break their arms

You talk about the way things were
but I can't hear what you're saying
A time when life was not this hard
blessed by the innocence

Is the best yet to come?
Or did it pass by long ago?
Are we holding on to a thread
of something already dead?

I'm not your reason to stand up straight
shoulders back, chest out, and eyes raised
Stepping back, I hesitate
I can't let myself be taken

Is the best yet to come?
Or did it pass by long ago?
Are we holding on to a thread
of something already dead?

You can't change your mind, expect me to care
You can't just snap your fingers and expect me to be there
You can't change your mind, expect me to care
You can't just snap your fingers and expect me to be there
Can't just change your mind

The reception fades, the signals breaking up
And am I moving on or am I giving up?
If you walk away from this with anything
Live your life today

2. THE ART OF LOSING

I'm not fucking blind to the way
that you talk around the truth
Not just what you say
but what you do
Played this tug of war way too fucking long
like every time
again I've lost
you've won

You took advantage of the trust that I gave
Took my forgiveness
rubbed it back in my face
Reaching for words but there's nothing to say
I'm left to wonder
will this ever be the same

This rage
burning through my veins
Regret consumes my mind
cutting deeply like a razor blade
Will I live to see another day
Without questioning your motives
with constant doubt

Tou took advantage of the trust that I gave
Took my forgiveness
rubbed it back in my face
Reaching for words but there's nothing to say
I'm left to wonder
will this ever be the same

And as we sit back waiting
for these scars to heal
Try to convince ourselves
that this
that this isn't real
Will you allow me to forget your past
Or will you always hang it over my head

3. TWO (401 Kill)

As I watch your life go up in flames,
you'll swear up and down you'd like to change
but when the sun sinks slowly into the sky,
now you're right
where you started again with nothing to say,
without an argument or case
and when it's said and done and done and said,
and now what's another day?

I can feel these changes right before my eyes
I see a dying fire inside your eyes, inside your eyes

When will you stop and realize,
the worth and value of your life?
as you suffocate yourself within this mindless,
9-5 wake up! there's more!
and your life is nobody's but yours
and now its said and done and done and said,
and now what's another day?

I can feel these changes right before my eyes
I see a dying fire inside your eyes

You're running circles around my slow pace
you've reached the finish line only to realize there was no race
I'm sick of being stepped on for the things I choose
I give and take and now I've taken all I could

And now I've taken all I could
And now I've taken all I could
And now I've taken all I could (now I've taken, now I've taken)
And now I've taken all I could (now I've taken, now I've taken)
And now I've taken all I could

4. JOIN THE RANKS

With your eyes
glazed and half-smiled
Explain to me the details of your God-given right

You point your finger
in my face but
you can't remember what you did last night

It's all fun and games til
you try to justify
It's all well and done til
you question the choices in your life

Join all the millions
of victims who prescribe to
this mediocre life

And all these years
have been lost looking for something
that you'll never find

It's all fun and games til
you try to justify
It's all well and done til
you question the choices in your life

In your life
In your life

It's all fun and games til
you try to justify
It's all well and done til
you question the choices in your life
