Demos
Foul Moustache
Villain
Always was the easy target, not afraid to stand alone
Always was the idealist, not afraid to set the tone
Tell it like it is, better make it known, yeah
Hard times will test your mettle, when you get too close to the flame
Hard times will show your colors, when you get behind in the game
Pick your cards up and shuffle the blame, yeah
Circle the wagons
Bar the door
Run for cover
Batten down the hatches
Prepare for war, cuz
I am the villain
I am the one who brings you down
I am the villain, I still am, and I’m not gonna let you run me out of town, no
I am the villain
I am your poor excuse
I am the villain, I still am, I got your number and I’m on the loose
I don’t mind
Cuz I’m tired of beatin’ myself blind
I don’t mind
Cuz I’m well aware of the ties that bind
Call To Arms
Silence take me
Give me strength now
Tell me how on earth to win the day
Focused visions
Overtake me
Stoke the fire inside to light the way
And I’m waiting for the call
And I just might lose it all
This is a call to arms for all the times I’ve lost my way
Raining fire, just one desire is all it takes, amid
Broken shards and battle scars of past mistakes, you know
I’m blinded and I’m wounded and I’m bleedin’ from my head — still I won’t fall
This is my call
Slow and steady
Concentration
Poised to strike when all seems lost
Paranoia
Decimation
The embers of “win at any cost”
I’m blinded and I’m wounded and I’m runnin’ for my life — still standin’ tall
Once and for all
This is my call
Ghost
Do you hate me because you see yourself in me?
The object of your insecurity
Reflections of a past you’d just as soon forget
Looks like you haven’t let it go yet
I have your face but not yet your scars
I am your ghost
I am your pain
I am your past and it drives you insane
I am your fear
I am your truth
I am your reckoning, and I have come for you
Projecting all your anger onto your pretense
Self-destruction as a self-defense
Why do you sabotage everything you love?
What is it that you’re so ashamed of?
Haunting your castle built on pretense
Taunting your loss of innocence
Mirror image of hypocrisy
Do you see broken pieces that remind you of me?
Are you lost inside yourself?
Can’t find the way to truth?
You deny what you see
When you look at me it’s…you
I am your ghost
I am your pain
I am your past and I won’t go away
I am your fear
I am your truth
I am your reckoning, and I’ll be the death of you
Auger
Bitter heart, never careful what you say
Your mouth starts as soon as it don’t go your way
Torn apart everything you’ve ever touched
Spend your words but be careful which you choose
You never know what you might lose
They may just cost too much
Your lies are like an auger
Twistin’ ever deeper
Chewin’ up my soul
Your love is like an auger
Easier and cheaper
The farther down you go
Paid my dues and now it’s time
To leave the garbage cast aside
I been a fool for all this time
And now I’m leavin’ it behind
I’m leavin’ you behind
Put on a show, you’re everybody’s closest friend
Even though you stab ’em whenever you can
Don’t you know you’re not foolin’ anyone?
Spread your filth anywhere you like
Make a mess of your life
You can’t undo what’s done
You keep drillin’ it into my head
You keep killin’ with words you’ve said
You apply the pressure
You supply the pain
It’s all just a part of your game
And I’m sick and tired of playin’ the scapegoat
Every time you speak it’s the same joke
I can’t make you change
But I can walk away
Your lies are like an auger
Twistin’ ever deeper
Chewin’ up my soul
Your lies are like an auger
Slippin’ ever steeper
Into a black hole
Your love is like an auger
Screwin’ up it’s keeper
And everything below
Your love is like an auger
Sleazier and cheeper
The farther down you go
No more bleedin’
Cauterized by seein’
This is leadin’
To a place I’ll never go
Sane
All this time gone by and I’m in denial
What’s left of me is scarred
My mind’s on trial
My soul’s on fire
And I’m not listening to one word that’s said
I’m not responding
Cuz my pulse is gone
The man I was is dead
And I’ll never be the same again
I’ll never be sane again
This fire inside me reeks of burnt ideals
I’m left to contemplate what’s really real
But I can’t feel it
Deep inside me there’s a void unfilled
Strip-mined for my innocence
And it’s too late to rebuild
Shattered pieces of another life
Line the streets of a place I once called home
A cheap mosaic of a better time
A distant dream that left me long ago
There was a time when I thought I could make it right
But stormy weather has a way of clearing up your sight
Everything I thought I knew was really just in vain
The only truth is life will never be the same
The only truth in life will never be the same
Change your mind of what it means to be sane
Life will never, ever be the same
Life will never, ever be sane
Headlong
A hardened heart awakens and it’s breaking as it grows
An ever-restless stirring now is spurring me to go
All I ask is that you let me go but have my back
All I can tell you is that I love you but I won’t turn back
So begins, once again
The timeless journey all must make
So begins, wide Open
The daunting path I take
Running headlong into the unkown
As hard as I can, as fast as I can, on my own
Running headlong into the storm
Under attack, never look back, this is war
Against all that I see that I don’t wanna be anymore
Safety may be gripping but it’s ripping me apart
They say all never make it but I’ve taken this too far
All I ask is that you let me go but have my back
All I can tell you is that I love you but I won’t go back
So it ends, Chapter Ten
The eleventh hour is calling my name
So it ends, good-bye old friend
Heads down, fight through the pain
Standing at the threshold
My blood runs cold
For the first time I feel all the weight of
The visions I have and the world that I see
For the first time I will test what I’m made of
And for the first time I’m finally free
I can’t ask you to understand
I can’t tell you to come with me
I can’t make any promises
Just trust in me
And I’m goin’ where you can’t follow
And I’m goin’ alone
So just hold on
For tomorrow
I’ll be a long way from home
