Talk about the words you say you want to live by
then throw them away like a cheap toy you wanted at the time
act like you're trying to be special and tell me you want to be different
but then go right back to where you left off and watch the days fly

Lose meaning to you everytime you contradict yourself
hang a rope and say it's for the hypocrites of life
then wrap ot around your neck with the same fake smile you grab from the shelf
Take your blade and make sure you cut me so that it's not a dull knife

I see so many who tell me they're better than the rest
then fall just like them all because you try to fit in with their puzzle
you're better than that so why can't you see the weight you place on your chest?
I guess it's from the rat race that you let the fog make your eyes hazy

Tell me you're ready for change, but then run right into that brick wall again
blame the others for your mistakes when it's all self inflicted
cast a mist over everyone who gets to be just as dense in the end
Hopefully with faith you'll see the truth and then the shame shall be lifted
**Faded Fate**
You will see that you are right
but there is something beyond all this light
beyond all the theories and thoughts unexplained
something powerful and higher passed all caught by flames

take a breath and see that it exists in truth
the power will remain in wisdom given to youth
told by experience of pleasure and pain
something dear to hold like a precious moment in the rain

It's fine to believe all that you wish
the more you search the enlightenment shall come faster
of greater hope and faith tighter than a cyclone's twist

I plan to find God and understand his might
I know he's there that's why I don't doubt or fear
all the thoughts that bring more questions, because they bring more to write
**Faded Fate**
Spirit shake me of the feelings given by my humanity
They blind me and break me from my grasp on sanity
blend my strengths so that they aren't just physical
I look to build it all into a foundation of greater mentality

Let the tide wash over the sandy shores of my tainted world
part the rocky walls built by all the troubled thoughts I hurled
throw them aside for the house I will make for my family
and with the extra build a path to the dreams I need unfurled

sow my battle scars but don't let them go fully away
because I need to remember what made me today
for I know new cuts and gashes will come from my thrashing
but I won't make the same with the wisdom of my mistakes

Flow from me the music that needs to be sung
spread the message through me of the old wise ones
til the day I am aged and ripe like them
I will tell the story with the rhythm of my tongue
**Faded Fate**
Spin doctor spin
while you try to get within
before you see the faults and foresee flaws
don't break a spirit with the devil's kin

Collect your trophies from the healing of one
while you shine in a fake light, the rest are dying away
So many to count, so sad to say
that you could help as many as you do without the money that you take

It's not overwhelming if you're doing what you love
but you just do it cuz you put a pay check up above
the passion and the hope that you have for the dying
scary to think our blood is on your hands, our heart is in your glove

If this is how it is, then let us know that in the first place
because when you avoid the truth, you become a good waste
I'd rather have a good tailor tell me he can't mend my torn clothes
Than say he'll try his best, and end with worse holes than before
**Faded Fate**
As I wander through
all the shattered glass of yesterday
calming down the beating drum of
changing lives and open chances
piecing all the damaged ones
to make a spirit of true beauty
I savor all the good and bad
so that we all see the art of the journey

I don't want to wait on someone else's discovery
feeling like I missed it by an inch misguided by
intuition clouded from recent recovery
taking so long I think I over analyze

I'm acting as a vessel for all of mankind
inspiring the feelings that you had in your subconscious mind
learning that the fates don't like to mess up
and hate it even more when you draw your own lines

So I'm tryin not to live with doubt or any regret
but it's tough reminding yourself of what you said
I tend to tear into my will I must confess
cuz my greatest fear is me not pursuing my very best

twitching with an itch I just want to let it all out
but gradual degree is key to live strong right now
it's coming to a boil
it's coming to a rise
let the wave take you in
push you up to the sky
if you want to stay down
that's fine by me
I'm not forcing you to come along
I'm running wild and free
**Faded Fate**
After all the flavor is lost
Will you still chase the taste?
Free and untamed to breathe, arrange
The lights that cross your eyes

A dotted line
to walk beside
but you still wander off
you think your belly's empty
consuming everything
your eyes can get pretty big

Oh collide
and burst inside

If you want to try to get rid of it all
lie awake and wonder why it came to a cost
of love and reasons to carry on
go on with purging
all the one's who help to feed you
go ahead and see what happens when we reach your throat
your hunger is a lost cause

Why so hungry
to keep on judging
a friend
it looks so lovely
but is it worth it
until the end
cover the beauty
by all of your hurting again
**** off the lovely
for jealous hunger
that cools and smothers
and gets right under
the fire

you're all alone

could you catch
the winged key unattached to
the necklace that you stole from the true
I hope
you don't
In fact I know
you won't
because gravity don't take too kind to flying

all you want
is to have it stolen or bought
to earn it with the right work just ain't you
A slave is what you are
to the grudges you hold onto
many times I've seen it done before

one in control
and dominion over souls
is just as wrong as letting go of hope
it takes many create
a stong and healthy place
so why the **** can't we ever get it right?
**Faded Fate**
represent yourself as vicious
bare your fangs
strike down the innocent
you define a beast...not the wolf

when you prowl on victims
take life without remorse
and let rage control you
you are an animal...not the wolf

when you are cunning, swift
protect the weak
howl in the spirit of the wild....you are the wolf

when you're mysterious
calm with power
leading with purpose....you are the wolf

A wolf knows family
A wolf knows instinct
A wolf knows wild
A wolf knows what guides them

my guide is not the wolf...I am the wolf and I am guided by destiny.
