Intro 03:31
2.
Straws 05:31
Verse 1:
 Here we go again, I feel it rising up. My pulse begins to race. No sign on my face. Thoughts are now obstructed, impairing my own judgement. I'm grasping at straws, trying to find the cause. Prechorus:
 Truth, I will find you. Unlock the words inside my mind and they'll remind you what it's all about this time and time again. Chorus 1:
 Giving up, giving in, I can see your hands in all my fears. I can see, I can hear, I can feel you all these years. Verse 2:
 Fight the fight eternal, the fear itself infernal. I'm looking for the exit... Prechorus:
 Truth, I will find you. Unlock the words inside my mind and they'll remind you what it's all about this time and time again and again. Chorus 2:
 Giving up, giving in, I can see your hands in all my fears. I can see, I can hear, I can feel you all these years. Time and time again I see myself believe in their lies. Every year that I see a little part within me still dies.
3.
Black Mirror 05:36
Verse 1: One for the masses, two for the self esteem, the hive mind collapses. Boost your potential, reach all but none for free, the cycle elapses. Chorus: 
Underneath it all and your firewall, behind the black mirror we're all the same. Abusing our weakness, amused by our pain. Bring all of our secrets into the light of day. Verse 2: 
Inside made of all the same parts but outside putting none of them forth that I see, nothing I can recognise, not me, not my neighbour or my enemy. Cause I see not an ounce of humanity. Interlude:
 And we gave ourselves away for the hope of a better day. Now there's nothing left behind, no understanding or peace of mind. (Be all that we can be, see all that we can see.)
(Remember the lessons learnt, letting go though we've been burned.) With the hindsight of all that we've seen, you'd think we were all too keen to turn this thing around. Instead we're running it straight to the ground. Chorus:
 Underneath it all and your firewall, behind the black mirror we're all the same. Abusing our weakness, amused by our pain. Bring all of our secrets into the light of day.
4.
Here And Now 08:52
Verse 1: 
Here we are, and we've come too far to lose it all, to rise, now fall. Here we stand with keys in hand, wavering... Chorus: 
Here and now, forever changing, but it's the only place and time to stake your claim. Fall from grace or rise up higher and higher, only you can set your aim. Verse 2: 
Here I am, once weak but now I stand, while gravity bares down on me. Through clash and strife, all that we've seen in life, we are quantified. Chorus 2: 
Here and now, forever changing but it's the only place and time to stake your claim. Fall from grace or rise up higher and higher, only you can set your aim.
5.
Decay 05:07
Verse 1:
 I woke up and I heard the news today. Seems that all our idols have been swept away. No one left to look up to when they're all gone. Only vultures left here after their swan song. Chorus: 
And the world keeps turning. And the tempest churning inside out, fuelled by self doubt, hear it scream and shout. Interlude: 
See the bloodstain after the rain washes away all but your shame. Verse 2: 
And no there's nothing I can do to set the way. Watch it all come down and crumble into decay. Chorus 2: 
And the world keeps turning. And the tempest churning inside out, fuelled by self doubt, hear it scream and shout.
6.
Crossfire 06:29
Verse 1: I've been walking around like I'm the devil himself. Like the worst guy in town you shouldn't lift a finger to help. Need a new way to walk, new eyes to look in the mirror. Cause all I see now, just someone caught in the crossfire... Verse 2:
 Found a new way to talk, a new voice to give to my thoughts now. With eyes open wide, I step right back into the crossfire... Verse 3: And I know what it's like to lose control, to see your fences fall down. And I know I've got to let me go, to feel the water's flow. Verse 4: When I'm walking down the street or when I'm on the floor. When I'm barely enough or more. And that voice that I project to you and your's. All inside of my head of course. Verse 3: But you're holding on to the pain, afraid of the guilt and the shame. No matter what the cost, I'm sharing none of the blame.
(Holding on 'til you're all gone).
7.
Verse 1: 
The sun's midnight rays fall upon my face and my world makes sense again. All of my being at ease, and the past we left in the 90's, missing you no more. Verse 2:
 This moment in time is fleeting, like a once-in-a-lifetime meeting of two kindred souls, worlds apart. And though in the blink of an eye it's over and we say goodbye, never in our minds, and never in our hearts.
