(lyrics by Chris Herin)
I can't make up my mind
Or put this off forever
Always counting on luck
Keeps my mind in a rut
I can't keep ignoring signals
Bombarding me from every side
I can run - but I can't hide
All the facts after the fact
To live this tragedy
It happens time and time again
Analyze until we're paralyzed
We can't comprehend
Here's the info that I need
Now I'll play the devil's advocate
This excess we feed
Is wisdom we don't need
Now I'm afraid to place my bet
Information overload
My head is ready to explode
All the facts after the fact
To live this tragedy
It happens time and time again
Analyze until we're paralyzed
We can't comprehend
Ulterior motives - secret pacts
No one knows all the facts
Hidden message - double talk
Fallen prophets, no safe place to walk
Information up to here
It's no wonder we all live in fear
Analysis Paralysis
All we get are opinions
Analysis Paralysis
Overkill - now we can't comprehend
Analysis Paralysis
Analysis Paralysis
Analysis Paralysis
Paranoia is winning
(lyrics by Chris Herin)
Back for the next ground
Safe haven still not around
No road lined with gold
Someone else to carry the load
Rebound like a boomerang
All aboard the gravy train
Lip service with no action
Fan the flames of stagnation
Give another token pledge
Ride the tide
Live another token pledge
Leave the ride
Give another token pledge
Break the timing of the stride
Give a token pledge
Live the lie
Gone when dreams turn to sweat
A vision we regret
Talent still intact
Lax attitudes detract
Rebound like a boomerang
All aboard the gravy train
Lip service with no action
Fan the flames of stagnation
Give another token pledge
Ride the tide
Live another token pledge
Leave the ride
Give another token pledge
Break the timing of the stride
Give a token pledge
Live the lie
Indifference is an excuse
It's why some people don't lose
Can't fall from grace
With priorities misplaced
Sitting on the fence
Disdain commitments, your loyalty
Embrace self-interest: I answer to no one
Sustain the path of lease resistance
Wealth in loyalty not won
Rebound like a boomerang
Kicked off the gravy train
Lip service called to task
Hit the road, don't come back
Give another token pledge
Ride the tide
Live another token pledge
Leave the ride
Give another token pledge
Break the timing of the stride
Give a token pledge
Live the lie
(lyrics by Chris Herin)
We wander aimlessly - with no design
Many forces - erasing what I find
Mired in the confusion - of right and wrong
Seeking something we believe in - waiting to belong
Changing lines and changing ways
We can't seem to get ahead
Changing names and changing faces
Our souls end up bled
Sometimes the cost of winning - isn't
worth the cost
This eternal battle - edges many from the race
Brick walls form around me - shaded from today
My good intentions - keeping progress held at bay
Changing lines and changing ways
We can't seem to get ahead
Changing names and changing faces
Our souls end up bled
Changing scenery, trading places
It all ends up the same
Changing for the sake of changing
Becomes a useless game
Rising from the ashes - throttles pushed up
full
Blazing new horizons - bold actions pave the way
Changing lines and changing ways
We can't seem to get ahead
Changing names and changing faces
Our souls end up bled
Changing scenery, trading places
It all ends up the same
Changing for the sake of changing
Becomes a useless game
(lyrics by Chris Herin)
Drifting down - descent without sound
Shapes never alike - long beams of light
Thoughtless greed - now I cannot see
What brings life - kills tonight
Metal sky - think before you fly
Rocks flash through time - ropes and knots bind
Often seen - not chosen from the past needs
On ourselves we rely - and let life die
What kind of status
What kind of fame
Do we quest to elevate our name?
How much money
How many toys
Do we need to fill our voids?
What fortune - what shame
Will we suffer to play the game
How many lies - how big the price
Offer the alter our sacrifice
What kind of status
What kind of fame
Do we quest to elevate our name?
How much money
How many toys
Do we need to fill our voids?
(lyrics by Chris Herin)
Stand back and watch - order falls in place
Left by the wasteside - misled in our haste
Following leaders - but they should follow behind us
Bearing the clout - casting more doubt
Drowning in water too shadow
Nip at your heels - they gnaw at the rope
Hung by a thread - left without hope
Look up and focus - gamble and risk your routine ways
Turning the gear - time drawing near
Embrace the plain we face our fear
Time consumes time
Quick to grasp - too tough to find
Time consumes me
Like dancing dogs too quick to see
Racing full speed - cliffs looming ahead
Pushing and pulling - backwards we tread
Calling the names - Beads of sweat forming on my face
Blurring our sight - jaws storking tight
Memories fade to brave the fight
Time consumes time
Quick to grasp - too tough to find
Time consumes me
Like dancing dogs too quick to see
Time consumes time
As thoughts race through my mind
Time consumes the doubts we believe
Like dancing dogs too quick to see
There's no harvest where nothing is
planted
There's no reason this road of success
You must argue what's taken for granted
To the last
Time consumes time
Quick to grasp - too tough to find
Time consumes me
Like dancing dogs too quick to see
Time consumes time
As thoughts race through my mind
Time consumes the doubts we believe
Like dancing dogs too quick to see
(lyrics by Chris Herin)
It happened again - just another day
Nothing changes - or gets in the way
Don't turn your back - who can you trust?
No one cares - it's a scattergram of luck
The image taking shape
Fears turn into fate
Living with the wheels we set in motion
Reaping the seeds we sow
Fallen angels destined for destruction
Clinging to the things which we know
One cycle - one big game
Always life and death - placing the blame
Who can decide - where the wheel stops
When nothing changes - it's a scattergram of luck
The image taking shape
Sadly it's too late
Living with the wheels we set in motion
Reaping the seeds we sow
Fallen angels destined for destruction
Clinging to the things which we know
Maybe something is just around the corner
Since nothing has happened yet
Don't follow someone else's vision
Making deals and hedging bets
Living with the wheels we set in motion
Reaping the seeds we sow
Fallen angels destined for destruction
Clinging to the things which we know
(lyrics by Chris Herin)
My nerves are shot, the pressure's on
It's too much, I can't respond
The sky is falling, the ground bursts
My head is pounding, my life is cursed
We're burning out, no end in sight
The treadmill's infinite
That's how it seems each waking moment
No place for me to go
Now it's like walking on hot coals
I'm lost in space
I feel demand outstrip my pace
I see the stares of faces blank
No more living for the chase
My knees are week, the days drag on
Same old thing, here and gone
More anger floods my words and thoughts
The wrong way to react yet nothing changes
They still turn their back
No place for me to go
Now it's like walking on hot coals
I'm lost in space
I feel demand outstrip my pace
I see the stares of faces blank
No more living for the chase
Absent is empathy
When there's nothing to believe
It's all for one and none for all
Doing battle in the urban sprawl
My hands shake, my vision is blurred
Don't ask again, I can't be sure
Rain is slamming hard against my face
It's pouring down in sheets
My energy's gone, spent in defeat
No place for me to go
Now it's like walking on hot coals
I'm lost in space
I feel demand outstrip my pace
I see the stares of faces blank
No more living for the chase
