Diecast - Internal Revolution lyrics



Tracks



01. Internal Revolution

Internal revolution
That rapes my confidence
And leaves me bleeding

I cannot, I cannot bend
Falter on my crusade
I cannot, I cannot stop
Trudging on

Internal revolution
Can't cease my bothered mind
Did I choose wrong
No time for
Inquiry
Time marches on

Through this lucid pain of glass
See your life I wanted for my own
Crystal clear pain of glass
Is it time for me to break through
Slowly losing sight
Of what I sought to find
Have I wasted
Oh, have I wasted
Wasted my life
Losing sight
Of the corridor I thought is right for me
The time begins to tie down faster everyday everyday
Losing sight
Crushing my one vision to
See the light
The light that is so overbearing, try to see, try to look

Through this lucid pain of glass
See your life I wanted for my own
Crystal clear pain of glass
Is it time to break through

Losing sight

02. Never Forget

You take, you take innocence
And give it such a twist
Life must be fought head to head
If you are gonna win

I see, I see all the pain
That causes misery
Time and time again
We must face all that's beckoning

I believe in, I believe in, I believe in
Ourselves to take what is thrown our way
I believe in, I believe in, I believe in
The one desire to never fail

On broken legs I stand
Salute with bloody hands
I've signed my fate
A sea of endless cries
True honor never dies
Never forget, never forget, it's not too late

Divide, divide, everyone
A will to segregate
Never believe when you read
Their string of bullshit

Don't give, don't give into
What they are forcing
You must re-enforce
What you know is true

I believe in, I believe in, I believe in
Ourselves to take what is thrown our way
I believe in, I believe in, I believe in
The one desire to never fail

Re-enforce everything you know
It is our tomorrow
Re-enforce everything you know
It is our tomorrow

03. Hourglass

Horrified
By what we've become
Glorifying
All the damage we have done
Our time is running out
Are you the one to change it

Hourglass is running short of sand
The candle's burning again

I don't want to live forever
I don't want to see this world decay
I don't want to live forever
To be the one to see the end of days

Take a look
The wounds aren't healing
You can make all
The pain we're feeling fade
To restore all that's gone
To the way it was before
Hourglass is running short of sand
The candle's burning
Again am I the only one to understand

I don't want to live forever
I don't want to see this world decay
I don't want to live forever
To be the one to see the end of days

And all the endless suffering will always to grow and prosper
And all the endless suffering will always to grow and prosper

I don't want to live forever and be the one
I don't want to live forever and be the one

04. Fractured

Live life without you
Without you
How can I live life without you
Without you, how can I

Justify the fallen innocent
Show me where to direct all frustration
Wish I had the power to turn back
If only to say those three words

Broken
I engage this grief
For you were
My only everything
Fractured
I fell to the floor
Fall, fall for cover, for cover,
From truth that scars

And so I'm left bemused and still
Emotionless I'm in disbelief
It feels like I'm dreaming
But I can't stop the screams

Take the pain away from me
Burn so deeply
How can I live life without
You have paved the way for me
Gave me purpose
So I try to live life without you
And so I'm left to search the skies
For answers
This hole inside
Can never be filled without you
Without you

05. Weakness

Stepping up
No excuses are welcome
Take the cog
It's not your time to show the
World you've come
Prisoners are not an option
So draw your guns
And show them who I am

Just another taste
Will heal everything
My arsenal has just been tapped
I found the cure
To insecurity
The phoenix will be released

Stare them down
Nothing can hold me back
Blocking all
Light that shields fear
Powered by
A source like no other
Show them why
You are the one who's strong

The crowd is getting restless
Conveying lack of heart
There's only one way to win
The purest flame
That's ever touched my lips
Will drag this fire out of me

Can't believe how I am
Falling down, falling down
I thought I wouldn't be
So dependent, so dependent
Now I am giving in
To my weakness, to my weakness
Can't stop giving in, giving in
To my weakness, to my weakness
Is this me
Succumb to weakness

Is this me
Succumb to weakness
Is this me
Succumb to weakness
Is this me

Running far
Run from all my problems
That haunt in me

Must escape
Taking the only poison
That sets me free

Running far
Running from all my problems
That haunt in me

Must escape
Taking the only poison
That sets me free

06. Fade Away

We both knew the answers
To our misery and pain that stained our being
Lost in clouds of comfort
So afraid to take the fall into desolation

What could make you fade away
I can't pretend that there's nothing left
What could make you fade away
If there's something then I need it to fade away
Make you fade away
Why can't I make you fade away

Searching for completion
And so we venture separate ways to find fulfillment
I won't soon forget you
Your mark is branded on my heart and soul forever

What could make you fade away
I can't pretend that there's nothing left
What could make you fade away
If there's something then I need it to fade away

Nothing will make you fade away
Nothing

We stand alone
Bonded by our compliance
Examining exactly how this happened
You were the one
The only one I wanted
Your choice was made and
Now I need you to fade away

07. Out Of Reach

Suffering, stewing in all of this anguish
Why am I forced to just continue beating down myself
Standards forcing me to raise expectation
Am I too shallow for my own good
The problem I have
Is me

Why can't I have what I yearn for
Desire eludes me
Never satisfied
What will quench my
Thirst for more than my world
Can provide for me

Is it a tragedy that I drink water
'Stead of wine
Such a game that my minds playing on me
Shooting down who may be the perfect one
Contest what's right
For me

Why can't I have what I yearn for
Desire eludes me
Never satisfied
What will quench my thirst

I'm sifting through the sands again
To find the meaning
Why is it so hard to find
The wisdom that eludes
I'm sifting through the sands again
To find the meaning
Am I ever going to find
The solution that escapes me

Someone please give me the answer
Someone ask the question why
Someone please give me the answer
Someone ask the question why

Someone please give me the answer
To the question
Why won't you tell me why
Someone please give me the answer
To the question

08. S.O.S.

Commandments tossed aside
A snakes whisper can blacken any heart
Will you cross the line
And taste the fruit that poisoned

Desire

Senses take no stand
Contradicting all that you've stood against
Corruption gives a hand
And it will bring you to a world of deceit

Succumbing to
The song of the sirens
Slowly it consumes me

I can't
Give into the demands of my own demons
That are slowly eating away inside me
Leaving me disheartened with nothing left to defend

Desire
Is consuming my entire existence?
Rendering all my defenses unconscious
And bleeding my will until it crumbles to dust

I have not given up
I can't give up

Backwards
From where I stood
This is the norm of modern day

Hollow
So incomplete
Can I survive this day?

All shame in my being
My self control is fleeing
Losing direction
Losing direction

There's no right solution
Wallow in my illusion
Losing direction
Losing direction

The fight has just begun [x3]

I've swallowed all my pride
And showed the world that I've nothing to hide
Nothing ventured and nothing gained
In the end there's only one to blame

Succumbing to
The song of the sirens

I am so sick of this world
I am so sick of this tainted existence

09. Nothing I Could Say

Such a fool
To think that I could go though life alone
A typical rash decision
I refused to see
How I needed your hand
To complete
And reinforce my existence

What's left to say
Except for you're the reason
The reason for me being

You gave me strength
The strength to be something
To be something better

Searching for another way
To steal a second chance
I pray for absolution

Now I know
That I'm missing your
Calm clarity
You were the one that listened

What's left to say
Except for you're the reason
The reason for me being

You gave me strength
The strength to be something
To be something better

What's left to say
Except for you're the reason
Except for you're the reason

Nothing I could say
Could bring you back tomorrow
Nothing I could say
Could dissipate my sorrow

All I had to
Do was let you know

10. Definition Of A Hero

Brother's fighting everyday
Which bullet is marked for them
Your eternal sacrifice
The truest and most noble
Fire - That stops the heart
Fire - That stops the heart

Sometimes it's easy to forget
Those who are pulled away from their families
Sometimes it's too easy to forget
Those who will never see their families again

Unite
Fight for what's right
You are the definition of a hero
Unite
Fight for what's right
You are the definition of a hero

Who can swim through all the bullshit
Political propaganda
Trying to understand half truths
Politicians are spreading thick
Liars - Tell half-truths
Liars - Tell half-truths

Tell me
Wouldn't you give up your life?
If it meant freedom
Throughout this world
Tell me
Wouldn't you give up your life?
If it meant freedom
Isn't freedom worth fighting for

I will always stand behind
Our brothers, our sisters, our soldiers.

Unite, fight for what's right.
You are the definition of a hero.
Unite, fight for what's right.
You are the definition of a hero.

11. The Coldest Rain

Alone again
Haunted by all your shadows
And memories

The coldest rain
Hides emotions that are pouring
From me to you

Crazy again
Forced to face all truth
And exist

All you had to say
Was you want me to leave this life
Leave this life
All you had to say
Was you want me to leave this life
Leave this life
And I'd be gone

The torturing
That I put myself through
Within won't end
Dying within
Cracking up, breaking down
Down to nothing

All you had to say
Was you want me to leave this life
Leave this life
And I'd be gone

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I carry on alone
Knowing that my dignity is strong

If I cast it all away
You'd still be mine today
But inside I'd be hollow

Then you walked away
With nothing more to say
I never felt this helpless
This helpless before

You couldn't carry on
I guess you had enough
You made your choice
You made your choice

And now we'll fade away

The coldest rain
Hides emotions that are pouring from me
To you
