1. Signs Of Weakness
Music: Daksiewicz/Herber/Karras/Hogan/Sisco
Words: Ryan Hogan
Thought you had the power to control them all
But your rusted armor ground you to a halt
Feeding off of others made you who you are
Soon misguided ego leaves you with a scar
No escape from the fate that awaits
Both you and your kind
Chip away at the facade
They will see you're not a god
You won't know until you seek it
Looking for the signs of weakness
No return, you must learn
There's a price that you must pay
As the holes are forming on your outer shell
Watch the opposition slowly start to swell
Once they take advantage of your weakened state
There will be another that will take your place
2. Fallen Prey
Music: Karras/Hogan/Herber/Sisco
Words: Ryan Hogan
There won't be any open arms
Nothing keeping you safe from harm
They'll be sucking your will to live
'Till there's nothing more left to give
Looking for the shelter you will never find
Got you in their sights
Don't look now but they're after you
Nowhere left for you to run to
Last in line and you lost the race
They will never give up the chase
On your tail and they're closing fast
In this jungle you will not last
From their grasp you can't get away
You must know that you are fallen prey
There's no way that they'll let you in
Trying hard but you just can't win
Wishing that it was someone else
Maybe then you could save yourself
3. State Of Empty
Music: Daksiewicz/Herber/Hogan/Karras/Sisco
Words: Ryan Hogan
Somewhere in between madness and the sane
Therein lies a place I cannot explain
Once I enter in there's no going back
Underneath the stress I begin to crack
The panic sets in the dead I'm akin
I'm flailing around in this state of empty
Lost in this maze I can't find my way
I'm living inside of this state of empty
Here inside the void hopelessness prevails
And my cries for help are to no avail
Help me
All I've tried can't fill me up no matter what I do
I don't care how much it costs, this time I'm breaking through
4. Shed No Tears (So Vacant)
Music: Karras/Herber/Daksiewicz/Hogan/Sisco
Words: Ryan Hogan
Looking at the changes, it's hard to see what's happening to you
Guess I was mistaken, now the only question's what to do
But I don't understand and I don't think that this is worth our time
Nothing lasts forever and staying with you now would be a crime
Why are you so vacant, don't you have something you want to say
Do you have an interest, or should I just turn and walk away
I will never feel complete living here with this deceit
Know right now I am sincere over this I'll shed no tears
Getting past the silence seemed to be the hardest thing to do
Giving me some answers is all I ever really asked of you
5. Nemesis
