1.	The Prying Eyes Of Those Above 03:16	lyrics	buy track
The mask I've worn has hid my sorrow, From the prying eyes of those above, No one has noticed the anger within me, The demons below me, No one has noticed the empty expression, I'll shed the cloak of ambivalence, To instead wear the cloth weaved of negligence, Misery is a cold room and it's covered in glass, It's easier to stay still than to make it out at last, The light, Casting a shadow, Surrounded by vices, The mask I've worn has hid my greatness, From the prying eyes of those above, No one has noticed the greatness within me, The angels above me, No one has noticed the hopeful expression, This is not what I need from anyone, This is not what I asked for anyway, This is not what I need from anyone, This is not what I asked for anyway, On a downward spiral, To the center of the earth, Bury me face down, I died in shame,
2.	The Feeding Hands Of Those Below 03:50	lyrics	buy track
I'm saturated with a blood that rages throughout the night, Begging and pleading, I'm under the influence of an outside source, Begging and pleading, Begging and pleading, A window to the soul, Is my dilated eyes, So alone in a crowded room, Just waiting here to die, Enemies surrounding me, No one can be trusted, I'm on my knees praying just to feel a thing, Begging and pleading, I'm overflowing with nothing and it's killing me, Begging and pleading, Begging and pleading, As I am, you will be, We all fall down the giving tree, Never enough, we all give up, On the things we love, Unable to avoid the kiss from the reaper, I follow in his shadow, Violent thoughts and anxiety, A dark red haze is all I see, It's a long walk home, When you're walking on broken feet, Biting the hand that feeds, Biting the hand that feeds, Biting the hand that feeds, Biting the hand that feeds, I've made it to this empty vessel, Shortly greeted by the fallen himself, He welcomed me with one phrase: "I too was God's angel"
