2.	Bridge Ices Before Road 04:28	lyrics	buy track
I've tried for so long To help you see yourself Through outside eyes A bridge to self-awareness It's just so painful to watch How you turn people off with your choices Looking for reasons to be offended Instead of seeking common ground You don't see the chasm in front of you The break in your road between who you really are And who you think you are We tire of dragging you over the bridge you need to cross The temperature is growing cold Bridge ices before road Drained from fighting your inertia while pulling you toward light The temperature is growing cold Bridge ices before road Caught up in your sadness Your blame, your hate, your selfishness Your certainty that all is stacked against you It takes so long just to drag you up from that well I don't know what to do I've think I've tried all I can I can only throw so much effort toward a losing proposition We tire of dragging you over the bridge you need to cross The temperature is growing cold Bridge ices before road Drained from fighting your inertia while pulling you toward light The temperature is growing cold Bridge ices before road Even as the bridge ices over It feels like you won't be content Until you burn it to the ground We tire of dragging you over the bridge you need to cross The temperature is growing cold Bridge ices before road Drained from fighting your inertia while pulling you toward light The temperature is growing cold Bridge ices before road
3.	Into The Air 03:46	lyrics	buy track
Anxiety slowly creeps in through the back of my mind As I walk through doors into the narrowing corridor Guiding hands and smiling faces do little to ease the building pressure Of my racing brain as I'm strapped into my chair Into the air, and it's off I go Into the clouds, out of control I know Climbing away from all my cares below Sliding on down to a slower note Into the air, and it's off I go Is this a dream or anesthesia's glow Looking on down at the world below Instead of peace I feel my pulse's flow Anxiety returns as I see dark clouds slowly building The light begins to fade and the trembling begins My gripping fear starts now Into the air, and it's off I go Out of the clouds, still no control I know Racing to ground, down to the world below Traveling in this giant dynamo Into the air, and it's off I go Is this a dream or anesthesia's glow Pressure is lost as alarms bellow Will I live on Or meet my end below
4.	Helping Hand 03:59	lyrics	buy track
Looking in from the outside You seem so preoccupied Relationship acidified As your friend I'm terrified So many things I need to get in that thick head of yours But it's not my place or my right to say So I'll sit here and nod and smile And try to act like it don't bother me To know you're in pain, alone But you won't turn to a friend, a helping hand I fear flame has intensified Neither budge from selfish pride Still outside, things are glorified Perfection personified I can't believe we all stand here and don't say a thing We're powerless to step in That's all I can say So I'll sit here and nod and smile And try to act like it don't bother me To know you're in pain, alone But you won't turn to a friend, a helping hand I hope you unlock that door I can't take this anymore
5.	Crank The Vice 03:48	lyrics	buy track
Human taffy Asked to bend more, stretch more Continually pushed to an unseen limit Pile on the chaos Like dissolving salt in water From the outside all looks exactly the same How much more can one mind take We're going to find out Up the pressure, crank the vice Push me, pull me, shove me Nothing to see here Up the pressure, crank the vice It's always just one more thing Meanwhile my brain is on overdrive Scrambling to find a path to escape Memory maxed Process overload Like dissolving salt in water From the outside all looks exactly the same I'm getting salty and my fuse is growing short It's going to get ugly soon How much more can one mind take We're going to find out Up the pressure, crank the vice Push me, pull me, shove me Nothing to see here Up the pressure, crank the vice How much more can one mind take Crank the vice Push me, shove me, crank the vice
6.	Spice 04:16	lyrics	buy track
I've been dying for days to walk through your front door Ladies, your reputation is outta sight I got a hungry crew with a wicked sweet tooth And nothing else would satisfy I hear the main course is excellent I hear the appetizers are fine But the dessert displays are why we came And wait impatiently in line Gimme some of that Cinnamon Hit me with some of that Spice Knock me out with that Candy, baby Make me feel so nice, nice, nice Gonna get down with some Crème Brule How bout a trade up for some of that pie The talent here has more than their share of cool tricks But it's the treats that have my eye I just can't imagine being a meat and potatoes man When everything looks this fine I'll order it all because I can Gimme some of that Cinnamon Hit me with some of that Spice Knock me out with that Candy, baby Make me feel so nice, nice, nice Gimme some of that Cinnamon Hit me with some of that Spice Knock me out with that Candy, baby Make me feel so nice, nice, nice Ooooh, nice, nice, nice Yeah, nice, nice, nice Nice, nice, nice Nice, nice, nice Gimme some of that Cinnamon Hit me with some of that Spice Knock me out with that Candy, baby Make me feel so nice, nice, nice Gimme some of that Chocolate Serve me another big slice A Latin finale might make my evening I guess I'll roll the dice, dice, dice Nice, nice, nice Nice, nice, nice Nice, nice, nice

Speed kills, and it's killing me Can't find the will to Back down Slow down Tap the brakes Trying to understand the drive in me Don't seem to need to Back down Slow down Tap the brakes Better, stronger, faster It's warp speed ahead Insatiable master Always in the red The clock keeps ticking faster It's warp speed ahead Impending disaster Always in the red Adrenaline feeding my fire Always pushing forward Faster Harder Fuck the brakes No obstacle can slow me down No way to stop me Faster Harder Fuck the brakes Better, stronger, faster It's warp speed ahead Insatiable master Always in the red The clock keeps ticking faster It's warp speed ahead Impending disaster Always in the red Speed kills, and it's killing me Can't find the will to Back down Slow down Tap the brakes Don't need to understand the drive in me Don't really need to Back down Slow down Fuck the brakes Better, stronger, faster It's warp speed ahead Insatiable master Always in the red The clock keeps ticking faster It's warp speed ahead Impending disaster Always in the red Hey, Mr. Slow, don't you have anywhere to go?
8.	Red Planet Part 1 07:29	lyrics	buy track
The landing sequence has begun Anticipation fills the artificial air Twenty of us man the deck While hundreds more fill the bowels of the cruiser I can almost taste the red sand With how often I've dreamed of this day For nearly a year we've trained And for nearly another we've been in route Still, this moment seems to have caught me unprepared We travel on the third of eleven cruisers leaving the world behind Robotics and scout teams have prepared the planet for the arrival of thousands Indoor cities where sustainability and safety are elegantly balanced With dramatic views of the host world as a reminder of the dangers outside My breath draws tight with anxiety and fear As we hit the thin atmosphere The cruiser strains and vibrates as we head down to the surface Greetings, and welcome to the red planet The reverse thrusters fire while artificial gravity fades Feeling lighter and unsteady triggers my training It's time to put on my spacesuit The door hisses with escaping gas as the hatch retreats The red world comes slowly into view Unforgiving terrain, mountains in the distance Lights and snowglobe-like cities down here in the valley One foot leads another out of the ship The arrival tunnel passes our inspection We pass through the airlock as the first wave of passengers stream through Eyes wide with wonder Men, women, and children I allow myself to succumb to the enormity and wonder of this place for only a moment Then I fall in with the crowd I reach the door of my new home and raise my hand to the panel The door recedes and a familiar face turns my way A lone tear falls from her eye as we run to each other And embrace after nearly three years apart After an almost eternal moment, she slowly pulls away and takes my hand We cross the room and look out at the sun setting slowly over the red mountains One journey has ended, and another one begins
9.	Sight Not Unseen 05:15	lyrics	buy track
I continue to try to understand the method to your madness But the fog never rolls away Your sense of reality has left you Your common sense led astray By the crowd of voices surrounding you The stupidity of the mob mentality binds you to your delusional state of mind And yet you seem quite surprised to find You took it away from me My life, my innocence, my naivete All I want is to believe in you and pretend that they are wrong But now I'm left dealing with what you've become You took it away from me You took it away from me For years the story remained the same The truth covered with a sarcastic grin A tale weaved with twists and turns A witty punchline Or a shrug and a faraway gaze Woah, how is it we all continue to be snowed by those we love We're blinded by blood before truth or so it would seem We all damn those we see on the news Those junkies, those losers, those burdens on society But when it's one of your own The light, it shines a little bit differently You took it away from me My life, my innocence, my naivete All I want is to believe in you and pretend that they are wrong But now I'm left dealing with what you've become You took it away from me You took it away from me, yeah The worst is knowing that once you had a chance To make the opposite turn at your fork in the road The fact that I feel partly responsible cuts deep into my soul Even when my brain knows that it's not so So prove me right or prove me wrong The damage has still all been done The world is a duller shade than it was before Because my innocent beliefs have come undone You took it away from me
10.	Summon The Will 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Everything in me is screaming I can't but I know that I can Everything I need is wrapped up in this so I won't kill the plan The road has been long but the horizon still feels so far away So exhausted, but one foot still follows the other day after day Summon the will to go on Eat what you kill, finish strong All the doubt and the fear And the grit and the pain Helps me see I've not lost I see what I have gained Drive a stake through the heart Of the fear in my mind I now know that I have what it takes It's just a matter of time Everything in me tells me you don't have the game to bring me down Bring your best and we'll see in the end who's gaining and who's losing ground Summon the will, finish strong All the doubt and the fear And the grit and the pain Helps me see I've not lost I see what I have gained Drive a stake through the heart Of the fear in my mind I now know that I have what it takes It's just a matter of time All the doubt and the fear Are still there in my mind I simply know I'll prevail It's just a matter of time
