The Beast 05:13
[Riley Garrett] Day after day I am walking away From the man I used to be Line after line I destroy my own shrine Of what I used to believe No place to hide As our ethics collide Sanity pushed to the side Always in fear I know he's near [Justin Smith & Riley Garrett] The beast will appear [Riley Garrett] Night after night Losing my appetite For what I used to enjoy Time after time As I choke on this lime Colours fade to grey Push through the pain Just have to maintain Through the ends of my disdain It grows from within I'm pale and thin [Justin Smith & Riley Garrett] The beast begins to grin [Justin Guitar Solo] [Justin Smith] And now The glass shatters from abyss Shards fall to waves of time As dreams become amiss And now Should I see you fall from grace I'd sacrifice my honor And the beast shall take my place Lyrics by Riley Garrett, Justin Smith, and (redacted)

The Venetian 04:17
[Justin] See through your masquerade Petty words and your crusade Your life, grows stale [Riley, Ryan] The burden rests on those who fail My sacrifice, does this suffice Soulless men like blinded mice You play the piper, pimp and whore Who sheds his blood in lonely war [Justin, Riley, Kyle Ryan] You roll The die Til they comply You roll The die Til they comply [Justin] See through your masquerade Petty words and your crusade Your life, grows stale [Riley, Ryan] The burden rests on those who fail I pity those who lie in wait Who hide from cause of coming fate Burn all bridges in due time The piper falls from god to grime [Justin, Riley, Kyle Ryan] You roll They die Til you comply You roll They die Til you comply [Justin, Riley] Feed your madness Feed your beast Feed your madness Feed your beast [Justin, Riley, w/ Kyle and Justin guitar harmony] No price can pay times vengeance And soon it comes for you No price can pay times vengeance and soon it comes for you Lyrics by Justin Smith

[Riley Garrett] Lost In a daydream Never thought I'd see Venetian red Watching The sun beam Didn't look to see What was up ahead [Kyle King w/ Riley & Justin Backing] At the speed of sound Lock the brakes, and spin the wheel round At the speed of sound Losing control, we're gonna fall And head straight for the ground [Riley Garrett] Out Of control now Hoping that this chaos Will soon cease Rolling Over Hope I get through this mess In one piece [Kyle King w/ Riley & Justin Backing] At the speed of sound Lock the brakes, and spin the wheel round At the speed of sound Losing control, we're gonna fall And head straight for the ground [Justin Guitar Solo] [Riley Garrett] And as I wake Disoriented Played by the hand I was presented Could spiral downward Instead I turn around Choose to move forward At the speed of Sound [Kyle King w/ Riley & Justin Backing] At the speed of sound Lock the brakes, and spin the wheel round At the speed of sound Losing control, we're gonna fall And head straight for the ground Lyrics by Riley Garrett and Kyle King

Shockwave 04:06
[Justin] Shift the paradigm Words shatter illusion Of minds in disarray A shockwave to the system Malice to her mind Sanity tugging at the fray [Justin and Riley w/ Kyle backing] Petulance, my darling Falls to the darkness calling Ignorance, your virtue To the beast who consumes you [Justin] A beautiful silence in sunken disbelief To who you will become My touch and thus my love All I could submit The flame itself is numb [Justin and Riley w/ Kyle backing] Petulance, my darling Falls to the darkness calling Ignorance, your virtue To the beast who consumes you [Justin Guitar Solo] [Justin and Riley w/ Kyle backing] Petulance, my darling Falls to the darkness calling Ignorance, your virtue To the beast who consumes you Lyrics by Justin Smith

Push 03:27
[Riley Garrett] Don't be The last thing That you wanted When your crutch Turns out to be Actually The thorn in your side Don't see The problem As it is Until it's been Illustrated In front of your eyes [Kyle Guitar Solo] [Kyle King & Justin Smith] How are we To push ahead If all in all Is to extend? [Riley Bass Solo] How are we To push ahead If all in all Is to extend? [Justin Guitar Solo] [Riley Garrett, Kyle King, & Justin Smith] Lost in Time spent [Kyle King & Justin Smith] No matter how We push ahead All in all Comes to an end. Lyrics by Riley Garrett

[Justin] Golden Hill, July’s eve We rest on the skyline Only arms to keep us warm Your gaze, so divine With this ruthless storm approaching No rain could tame this flame Lay waste to their injustice And conquer, our own game [Justin w/ Riley Backing] The darkest days, and darker nights Has revealed to me, your brighter lights Glowing path, that guides me home Once filled with hate, discarded fate I stand before the cries of late To take a stand, and soon your hand [Justin] Though actions I regret Each word, I can’t repent From depths of our own heartache We banished our descent Each step grows ever gruelling Should your bones finally break I’d carry you to freedom On the backs of our mistakes [Justin w/ Riley backing] The darkest days, and darker nights Has revealed to me, your brighter lights Glowing path, that guides me home Once filled with hate, discarded fate I stand before the cries of late To take a stand, and soon your hand [Justin w/ Riley and Kyle backing] How I wish I could move on But I’ve been holding on for far too long How I wish I could move on But I’ve been holding on for far too long [Kyle Guitar Solo] [Tempo change and Justin Guitar Solo] How I wish I could move on But I’ve been holding on for far too long How I wish I could move on But I’ve been holding on for far too long Long Far too long, Far too long, Far too long Lyrics by Justin Smith

Distress 04:35
[Justin and Kyle] Your fantasies and prophecies Give way to our dichotomy I fall, in line Worship the false divine This misery, my deity Empty life consuming me I fall, in place Colour draining from my face [Kyle w/ Riley & Justin Backing] As it flies overhead Conform to distress and bring me the death of man And his honor shining in the knight like a suit of armor [Justin and Kyle] Embracing pain brought by this flame I’d sacrifice my soul to fame My will, to be I’ve let my morals free Watch angels fall from eternity They pay the price for blasphemy Their god, dethroned Blood where the river flows [Kyle w/ Riley & Justin Backing] As it flies overhead Conform to distress and bring me the death of man And his honor shining in the knight like a suit of armor [Justin Guitar Solo w/ Kyle Harmony] Lyrics by Kyle King and Justin Smith

Without You 05:21
[Riley Garrett] Without you I'm helpless Without you I'm lost Without you I'm empty Without you I'm lost Please don't walk don't walk away from me I'm dependent on your company I'd rather die than be alone and I wonder why she won't answer her phone (i wonder why she won't answer her phone) Without you I'm helpless Without you I'm lost Without you I'm empty Without you I'm lost I feed this beast Though I know, it won't bring me peace I feed this beast again Hope it doesn't bite me, I Hope it doesn't bite me in the end Lyrics by Riley Garrett

[Justin] The sins of the father Negligence to which we curse Heresy has bounded him to his thorn'd crown Abandonment Fill the void which tears within Silence from the lamb I’ll use your voice as mine [Riley and Kyle] Walls crumble down Next to this confession Abide to drown As I ask this question Why does it matter This pain persists Why does it matter I can't resist [Justin] Hypocrisy Preaching peace to helpless pawns Profitier a loss of life As you suspend your disbelief Hypocrisy I blame thee for the bloodshed Blessing bombs, for your gain Shame to the scum of earth [Riley and Kyle] Walls crumble down Next to this confession Abide to drown As I ask this question Why does it matter This pain persists Why does it matter I can't resist [Justin, Kyle, and Riley] Without You I’m Helpless Without You I’m Lost Without You I’m Empty Without You I’m Lost I’ll Feed This Beast [Justin and Ryan] [Justin] Your prayers will go unanswered Your shallow faith devoid Your actions go unnoticed To an unforgiving void No saviour on the horizon Like an ever empty creche And while you worship stardust You neglect your brethren’s flesh [Kyle] I neglect my brethren's flesh [Justin] Abide to drown, forgo uncertainty Reclaim your throne Abide to drown, forgo uncertainty Reclaim your throne Lyrics by Justin Smith and Riley Garrett

To the Flame 05:45
[Justin w/ Riley Backing] I looked out my window Like days we’ve spent before A calm that permeates Still waves on silent shore No march in solitude No shelter from the wake Her voice all that remains As mine begins to break Yet in my dreams I hold you In those dreams we rise Does the fire burn eternal Under your resting eyes The beast has grown passive His world has grown stale The window starts to crack As rain turns to hail And I need for you to stay To breath for one more day I need for you to stay To walk, for one more day The sun has died tonight And you’ve left me growing cold This truth is one I hold Some truths best left untold [Justin, Riley, with Kyle backings in brackets] Our dreams turn tragedies (The sun has died tonight) Your choice, yet I’m to blame (And you’ve left me growing cold) This dark weighs my conscience (this truth is one I hold) Til I cast you, to the flame Lyrics by Justin Smith
