Empty Room 05:04
You’ve always been there for me Each step I take in life Your strength must have been divine You’re weak and pale tonight I’ll leave you just long enough to Get me some rest Your strength will come back in time I’m wishing you the best How could I know what I’d have to show For the moment I believed it best My life entwined with your heart and mind Can’t you feel my loneliness Empty room Everything’s the same as yesterday All except now you’ve gone away And left me here with naught to show except this Empty room Only memories left on the shelf You’ve taken all the best ones for yourself And left behind your broken dreams and this Empty room Remember when we were so young So full of hope and life We loved to see the sun come up Stay up and talk all night But little did I realize the man I would become So selfish and so immature So hard for you to love How could I know what I’d have to show For the moment I believed it best My life entwined with your heart and mind Can’t you feel my loneliness Empty room Everything’s the same as yesterday All except now you’ve gone away And left me here with naught to show except this Empty room Only memories left on the shelf You’ve taken all the best ones for yourself And left behind your broken dreams and this Empty room Empty room Holding on the very best I can To all that I can be and what I am I’m not sure what to put inside of this Empty room All my lonely days are done and gone The emptiness will stay for just as long As the pain is left to grow inside this Empty room

Exterminate 04:05
The houses stacked so perfectly But there’s no room to breathe A neighborhood filled to the brim But no one to call friend A working mother races home to To spend her night alone A father too preoccupied to Give up precious time Alone in my world of fantasy I see this world so differently Don’t know how much more I can take of This pointless misery There’s a point when you’ll see the purpose in your life Buried so deep within that you can’t see the light Exterminate all the pain that weighs you down in life You might think I’m insane, someday you’ll see I’m right I see you all through different eyes A higher state of mind The zombies of this barren land Could never understand We’re better off without your kind The deaf who seek the blind There are no words left to describe The pain I feel inside

A miracle created out of nothingness Out of the womb this brand new life took its first breath Hoping for the promise to bring meaning to this life Once so lost the chaos welling up inside I feel so desensetized Smiling out loud living dead inside The secret within getting harder to hide I’m just trying to understand I know the secrets of The God-damned who pray for love To heal all their wounds and bring peace To chaotic lives My disconnected mind Deaf ears and eyes gone blind Can’t see what a gift is this blessed child Are you out there waiting? Satisfied that all that’s lost is found As I just stand here praying That she can touch the sky while I’m still on the ground This broken bond and open wound not healed with time Gets harder every day pretending things are fine She’s done nothing wrong but suffers all the same A mother’s fallacies how could she be to blame This fallen world has an evil mind The only way she could ever survive Wrapped in innocence for the rest of time Somewhere only that God can find God’s golden paradise Awaits your precious life The only gift left that I know how to give to you There’s nothing left inside But faith in the afterlife I’ll never be able to fail you again Are you out there waiting? Satisfied that all that’s lost is found As I just stand here praying That she can touch the sky while I’m still on the ground

Youth was a failure to satisfy your needs Growing up it’s harder to satisfy your greed Now that I’m nearer to the end than the beginning of it all Is this a life that’s worthy of the sacrifice? Burning down my shelter to rebuild it twice as strong Learning it’s much harder admitting that I’m wrong Now that I’m nearer to the end will I be stronger than before Will I look back and wish I’d only realized?

Disposable 04:51
You taught me how to hate myself Showed me how to wish I was never born You made me believe that no one else Cared enough to give me more There is no blanket to bring warmth to this cold No rain can fall that will wash away the pain No light can shine bright enough to fill my soul No price enough to make me love again You steal my life with each breath you take You fill my heart with the heaviest weight You steal my words, my thoughts, and my faith You take my love and just throw it away You swore that this was everything It’s not worth the time it takes to make things right You proved this is what I deserved for Holding onto my grudges for venom and spite So now we’re at the end of things You tell me I’m nothing without you still running my life Now there’s no one listening I’ll take my chances one bullet at a time

Superheroes 05:22
They wait in their temples To fight for all the power and control The weak and the simple Disintegrate as waiting takes its toll Are we living a little more each passing day or getting closer to our death Do I wait for a savior the come and rescue me Or just stop holding my breath I don’t believe in superheroes No one can hear my cries for help Screaming out loud but there’s nobody listening I’ll just take care of it myself They feed on our anger They’re maximizing profits with our fears Decay while they linger Surviving just from drinking our own tears They wait for a miracle To come and help them exercise control The weak and the simple Want someone else to lift the weight off of their souls I don’t believe in superheroes No one is waiting to save my day Screaming for life but there’s nobody listening I’ll just have to do it my own way

about

"Full Circle" was a major undertaking for us as a band, so much so that we had more music than we could fit on one CD! It was very difficult deciding which songs to drop off but for different reasons, the first three tracks here are the ones that didn't make it.

The last three songs were all written around 2004-2005 and simply sat on the shelf while waiting to finish up "Unbroken." When we decided "Full Circle" was going to be a concept album, there was simply no place for these songs to reside on the CD. Now, they get their own home!

Overall, this CD shows a heavier side of the band while blending in more Spock's Beard-esque vocals. Hopefully in the end it just sounds like King's Row!
