They peddle dreams to the uninformed
A blink of an eye and the heart is torn
Money and trust have parted ways
They'll drain the life right out of you
There's really nothing you can do
If you take whatever they feed you
Might be best not to keep it down
Just when you think they need you
Their hands in your pocket and they're skipping town
A sleazy smile and a beckoning call
The likes of which will end us all
Hope and faith have parted ways
They'll choke the life right out of you
There's really nothing you can do
If you take whatever they feed you
Might be best not to keep it down
Just when you think they need you
Their hands in your pocket and they're skipping town
There's a sucker born every minute...which one are you?
Don't....blink....you're on your own
Don't....blink....you're on your own
Don't....blink....you're on your own
Don't....blink....you're on your own
If you take whatever they feed you
Might be best not to keep it down
You think they really need you? Oh, come on...
If you take whatever they feed you
Might be best not to keep it down
Just when you think they need you
Their hands in your pocket and they're skipping town
You're on your own, you're on your own
You're on your own, you're on your own

Season of Light
03:45
|

Seems like forever
Since we'd seen a ray of light
Sing the praises of our strength
We've proven together
We won't go down without a fight
So sing the praises of our strength
[I'll keep my eyes on the sunrise]
When it becomes too much to breathe
When it brings you to your knees
When you're begging to be free
I know that life is war sometimes
We live in the shadows
But there is no shadow without light
Sing the praises of your strength
Our time is coming
When we no longer have to fight
So sing the praises of your strength
[Keep your eyes on the sunrise]
When it becomes too much to breathe
When it brings you to your knees
When you're begging to be free
I know that life is hell...
Into the unknown fray
There's always something else to fear
But I'm still holding strong
Shouting 'I'm still here'
Into the unknown fray
There's always something else to fear
But I'm still holding strong
Screaming 'I'm still here!'
When it becomes too much to breathe
When it brings you to your knees
When you're begging to be free
I know that life is war sometimes

Living Not Existing

Hands in the air if you’re living, not existing!
Some take comfort in never knowing
Others simply can’t accept this
Hands in the air if you’re living, not existing
Open their eyes and show them what they’re missing
Hands in the air if you’re living, not existing
Open their eyes and show them what they’re missing
Some take pleasure in never trying
Fear of failure, overwhelming
Hands in the air if you’re living, not existing
Open their eyes and show them what they’re missing
Hands in the air if you’re living, not existing
Open their eyes and show them what they’re missing
If I’m wrong, prove me wrong
If I’m wrong, prove me wrong
If I’m wrong, prove me wrong
If I’m wrong, prove me wrong
Prove...Me...Wrong
Hands in the air if you’re living, not existing
Open their eyes and show them what they’re missing
Hands in the air if you’re living, not existing
Open their eyes and show them what they’re missing
Hands in the air if you’re living, not existing
Open their eyes and show them what they’re missing
Hands in the air if you’re living, not existing
Open their eyes and show them what they’re missing

You're just a memory
That bears deleting from my existence
It's just too late for me
And now you're begging for my repentance
The wants and the needs that you feed are your own
You have what you want and yet you're all alone
I’m gonna purge you from my mind
(You’re drifting away)
Your image fades behind my eyes
(You’re drifting away)
I thought I was better than this
You've lowered me to a place I should not exist
We should both have a better life
But you're here just twisting the knife
The wants and the needs that you feed are your own
You have what you want and yet you're alone
True intentions are bleeding through
The only one you've ever cared about
Is you
I’m gonna purge you from my mind
(You’re drifting away)
Your image fades behind my eyes
(You’re drifting away)
I’m gonna get this off my chest
(You’re drifting away)
Until there’s finally nothing left
I'm gonna purge you from my mind...
I’m gonna purge you from my mind
(You’re drifting away)
Your image fades behind my eyes
(You’re drifting away)
I’m gonna get this off my chest
(You’re drifting away)
Until there’s finally nothing left

Break Through
04:06

Second chances
Rare enough alone, even more so now, like this
A broken promise
Destroying all the trust I've earned...
Everybody makes mistakes
But everything's still out of place
One thing still rings true to me
I'm not the man that I know I'm supposed to be
No one ever wants to go through this alone
So many things for which I should atone
Endless patience
Even angels have their limits with us all
Begged
Hoping one day we all recover...
And everyone still makes mistakes
Yet everything's still out of place
I hope that they finally see
I'm trying to be the man I was meant to be
No one ever wants to go through this alone
So many things for which I should atone
I never meant to place this life on you
So...when will I break through?

A Loss For Words
03:25
|

Oh, how things change
Oh, how things change
I was waiting for it
Waiting on that moment
When nothing was ever good enough
I am getting pulled in
Opposite directions
Nothing's ever good enough
I keep drowning out the screams
Everything that I once knew is gone
Nightmares turn into a dream
But only when I close my eyes
Heavy are the shoulders
That we place the blame on
When nothing's ever good enough
I keep trying to find some
Solid ground to stand on
Nothing's ever good enough
I keep drowning out the screams
Everything that I once knew is gone
Nightmares turn into a dream
But only when I close my eyes
Breathe in, breathe out
It's all that I can do
To stand on solid ground
Breathe in, breathe out
It's all that I can do
To stand on solid ground
I keep drowning out the screams
Everything that I once knew is gone
Nightmares turn into a dream
But even when I close my eyes...
They fall
They fall, one at a time
They fall, one at a time
They fall, one at a time
They fall, one at a time
They fall

You're Gone
03:53

You may not even know it yet
I've been, tracking you for miles
You think I won't catch up to you
That's fine, all I've got is time...
Cause all that we know, all that we know
Is one way or another, you're gone
All that we know, all that we know
One way or another, you're gone
I'll put the fear of God in you
I can smell it in your bones
How do you think it's gonna feel
Crawling, on your knees alone
Your blood, leads me right to you
I promise I will not be kind
You know, just how far I've come
When all I've got left is time...
Cause all that we know, all that we know
Is one way or another, you're gone
All that we know, all that we know
One way or another, you're gone
I won't make it quick
It's not mine to take
You've got a lot to lose
I know you're gonna break
Cause all that we know, all that we know
Is one way or another, you're gone
All that we know, all that we know
One way or another, you're gone
You're gone

Dysphagia

Everybody's got their demons,
But yours seem to shadow the rest
They shadow the rest
You seem to think that you're a savior
But it's not over yet
It's not over yet
You're on the wrong side
The writing's on the wall
Pride comes before the fall
You will see your demise
You're on the wrong side
I will watch you fall
Yes I will watch you as you fall
I will see your demise come true
Unraveled thread,
But what did you expect?
Silver tongues still tarnish in the sunlight
I still shine through,
With your hands around my neck
It's not hard to see that
You're on the wrong side
The writing's on the wall
Pride comes before the fall
You will see your demise
You're on the wrong side
I will watch you fall
Yes I will watch you as you fall
I will see your demise come true
Chemical cannibal, demagogue with thinly veiled motives
Chemical cannibal, a demagogue with no remorse
You're on the wrong side
The writing's on the wall
Pride comes before the fall
You will see your demise
You're on the wrong side
I will watch you fall
Yes I will watch you as you fall
I will see your demise…
Everybody's got their demons,
But yours seem to shadow the rest
They shadow the rest
You seem to think that you're a savior
But it's not over yet
It's not over yet
Chemical cannibal, you're a demagogue with thinly veiled motives
Chemical cannibal, a demagogue with no remorse

Black Diamonds

It all begins with a single seed of doubt
Perpetuating growth, until it turns us inside out
Shadows grasping hold, and pulling further down
Taking nearly everything to turn it all around
Forged in flames is what we are
Tempered by the wounds and scars
We’re different now
No looking back on yesterday
The siege continues
The battle’s not yet lost
No risk for no reward
Effort far exceeds the cost
Shadows grasping hold, and pulling further down
Taking nearly everything to turn it all around
Forged in flames is what we are
Tempered by the wounds and scars
We’re different now
No looking back on yesterday
No looking back
Forged in flames is what we are
Tempered by the wounds and scars
We’re different now
No looking back on yesterday

Rise
03:20

Here we go!
Geared up, let’s go, they’re closing in fast
With the speed of a thousand atomic blasts
They’ll try to take this world from us
Not gonna happen, because
We rise, never backing down from a fight
We fall, but only after finding the light
We’ll rise again just to take it all
10 million volts running through our veins
The enemy thinks that it’s a game
They’ll never take it away because
They’ve underestimated us
We rise, never backing down from a fight
We fall, but only after finding the light
We’ll rise again just to take it all
Rise, Rise……….
We rise, never backing down from a fight
We fall, but only after finding the light
We’ll rise again just to take it all
Gonna take it all
Rise

Drown
03:37
|

Every lie salts the wound a little further
Even though I know you're trying to help
And the best way that you can help at this point in time
Is just for you to say goodbye
With nothing to hold onto
I'm sinking further down
Every fiber of my being knows that
I will drown
The waves are unrelenting
And I can’t hear a sound
Every fiber of my being knows that
I will drown
Late one night a dream awoke me
When I thought I'd already gone
A small light caught my eye at the bottom of the hill
And something told me that I'm not quite done
That small light that kept me going
Eight some-odd years ago today
All that's left for me to do at this point in time
Is to gather the courage to say
With nothing to hold onto
I'm sinking further down
Every fiber of my being knows that
I won’t drown
The waves are unrelenting
But then again so am I
As I climb a little further
I can feel the sky
With nothing to hold onto
I'm sinking further down
Every fiber of my being knows that
I won’t drown

Still Alive
04:17
|

I've seen the end in the beginning
Something hard to miss
A new beginning in the ending
The day that didn't exist...
Hands just won't stop shaking
Cold sweat permeating
And I can't seem to get a grip on anything
I feel my life draining,
The blood inside me staining
And I can't make this feeling go away
I'll keep holding on, until it's gone...
I stand alone, wondering if I'll survive,
Will I survive this?
All unknown, watching as the worlds collide,
And I…...I’m still alive
The taste is so distinctive
Atropa Belladonna
If I succumb tonight there is no turning back
Fragmented physiology
I cannot find nirvana
A glimmer of hope, when the skies are turning black
I'll keep holding on, until it's gone...
I stand alone, wondering if I'll survive,
Will I survive this?
All unknown, watching as the worlds collide,
And I……….I’m still alive'
I'll keep holding on, until it's gone...
I stand alone, wondering if I'll survive,
Will I survive this?
All unknown, watching as the worlds collide,
The day that didn't exist...

Something Clever Band Charlotte, North Carolina
Hard rock is in need of a duo like White Stripes or Twenty One Pilots, and
Something Clever’s Adam Nelson and
Kelly Flusk are poised to claim that spot. Shouting
an overall theme of endurance through hardships and finding purpose through
victory has proven to be a successful message.
