Lyrics:
Ryan:
A pathway through
I spent my life
Trying to guide you
To unselfish decisions
If you think
Commitment's a prison
You are mistaken
Your perception is shaped
By all that you don't know
Now that door's
Forever closed
Trapped with nowhere to go
Thelonius:
I can see everything in your horizon
The future will bring
The truth to your door
You've entered a world
Where one thing is certain
There's no going back
No way to restore
The chains of your mind
Constricting, controlling,
Rejecting a life
Where you could be more
Becoming something
That you never wanted
You have chosen to sink
While we choose to soar
Ryan:
If I chose to die
Would you remember me then?
If I chose to die
Tearing down
Everything
We made together
Could you still call me your friend?
Would you see me at the end?
If I chose to run away from everything
Could you forgive me then?
We can't and we won't...
This isn't just another fork in the road .....
We can't, we won't...
This isn't just another fork in the road .....
We can't and we won't!
This isn't just another...Fork In The Road!
We can't and we won't!
This isn't just another...Fork In The Road!
Ryan & Thelonius:
I thought you were my brother
But you're just like the others
I thought you were my brother
But you're just like the others
Just one more fork in the road
If I chose to die
If I chose to die
If I chose to die
Would you still call me your friend?
If I chose to die
If I chose to die
If I chose to die
Would you see me at the end?

So They Say

Thelonius:
I can see it in your eyes
You're never going back
A better life awaits you in the skies
This I know
And they will say that it's the wrong way to go
But there's no room left for us here to grow
Ryan:
Bottle up...that pain
Take a pill then you'll pray
And it'll all fade to grey
Or so they say...
But it doesn't work that way
Truth can't be numbed away
Thelonius:
I can feel this world begin to weigh on me
Encumbered by adversity
Obstructing us from where we should be
And through the hardships that we face
We can see
All the requirements that we must meet
To succeed
Ryan:
Leave it for another day
Ignorance is bliss
Or so they say...
Now sacrifice is the only way
But there's no price I wouldn't pay
I won't let our rights slip away
Rise from your...shallow grave
A higher purpose beckons your name
Reborn...Inside...Lies...A sacred flame
That darkness cannot tame
Rise now...From your shallow grave
A higher purpose beckons your name
Reborn...Inside lies a sacred flame
That darkness cannot tame.....
Brainwashed...masses have gone mad
Unaware of the hidden hands
So I'll pull the curtain
And reveal their plans
The tyrants will fail because
Karma always wins.
Life is a test...
Not a game
There's no more time
To play it safe
Take your first step
And shed your fear
Then let the beautiful sound
Of freedom...
Ring........

Night Calls

A whisper into the night
Stripped of all my...
Might (might, might, might)
The ruin laid bare in front of you
There's not much that I can do
The truth has become a noose
Caught in a web that must be broken through
One day I'll reach out for you (One day I'll reach out for you)
Malice creeping in
Through my window
(I sleep but I can't dream)
Depression is crushing me (crushing me)
Drifting in the void endlessly (Endlessly)
Trying to hold onto sanity
A whisper into the night
Stripped of all my...
Might (might, might, might)
The ruin laid bare in front of you
There's not much that I can do
The truth has become a noose
Caught in a web that must be broken through
One day I'll reach out for you (One day I'll reach out for you)
Is there comfort in madness?
I don't know...
In this world it's all I've ever known
There's beauty in simplicity
They say they understand
But how could they possibly?
A whisper into the night
Stripped of all my...
Might (might, might, might)
The ruin laid bare in front of you
There's not much that I can do
The truth has become a noose
Caught in a web that must be broken through
One day I'll reach out for you (One day I'll reach out for you)
The things that you say (Things that you say)
Makes me want to run away
The things that you do (That you do)
Make me want to have nothing to do with you
(The things that you say)
Make me want to run away
The things that you do
(The things that you do)
(The things that you do)
Makes me want to have
(Nothing to do)
(Nothing to do)
(Nothing to do with you)
A whisper into the night
Stripped of all my...
Might (might, might, might)
The ruin laid bare in front of you
There's not much that I can do
The truth has become a noose
Caught in a web that must be broken through
One day I'll reach out for you (One day I'll reach out for you)

Thelonius:
Ascending the mountain
Our old world behind
The future beyond the incline
On the horizon the light shines divine
Momentum and fortune collide
From this perspective I can see
It belongs to you and me
Persist through the hardship and finally
Effectuate our destiny
Ryan:
Is there something you would like to know?
Is there something...you would like to know?
New Romancing
New Romancing
New Romancing
Thelonius:
Bridging the gap
The final divide
The current of time
On our side
Endless dejection
Surrounds from all sides
Assailing the ignorant mind
Parting the clouds
The pathway defined
A new world to be realized
No more misfortune
No anguish in sight
Our forecast is forever bright
Ryan:
Is there something you would like to know?
Is there something...you would like to know?
New Romancing
New Romancing
New Romancing
(New Romancing)
Is there something you would like to know?
Is there something...you would like to know?
New Romancing
New Romancing
New Romancing
Is there something you would like to know
Is there something...you would like to know?
New Romancing
New Romancing

You Can Trust Me

Ryan:
To realign
And calm our minds
We're cutting the big picture
Down to size
No questions as to where
Our true motives lie
This is the time
This is the time
This is the time
This is the time
Thelonius:
I'll be by your side
Against the rising tide
They cannot drown me
When you are free
The trust we share
A sanctuary
Ryan:
Working together
To achieve our dreams
To others impossible...
It may seem
But it's not faith or belief
It's what we've built
And fools have yet to see
We've already made half reality
Thelonius:
The bond between us both
An everlasting oath
The chains that bind us to destiny
We forge a future
Where we can be
In perfect harmony (harmony)
Ryan & Thelonius:
You Can Trust Me x4

There Is No Better Time

Ryan:
In the rear view mirror
Reflecting back
On the distant past
The thunder rolls on in
Dancing on
The thinnest of lines
Action changes
Fortune on a dime
The breeze dissipating the clouds
In the depths of my mind...
There's no better time.....
Creating our own odyssey
The world lets out a scream...
"Please fear me"
But you and I
Don't scare so easily
We'll stand
Triumphantly.....
Thelonius:
Immersed in familiar dreams
There lies the world we seek
We'll meet beyond the breach
The end...
Within our reach.
Ryan:
Creating our own odyssey
The world lets out a scream...
"Please fear me"
But you and I
Don't scare so easily
We'll stand
Triumphantly.....
Thelonius:
The light that we create
The fire will not abate
We have the golden key
Unlock what we can be
Ryan:
This is the road we're on
And at the end...
All our troubles will be gone.
Ryan & Thelonius:
Creating our own odyssey (There's no better time)
The world lets out a scream...(There's no better time)
"Please fear me" (Better Time)
But you and I (There's no better time)
Don't scare (There's no better time)
So easily (There's no better time)
We'll stand triumphantly (Better Time)
Creating our own odyssey (There's no better time)
The world lets out a scream...(There's no better time)
"Please fear me" (Better Time)
But you and I (There's no better time)
Don't scare (There's no better time)
So easily (There's no better time)
We'll stand triumphantly (Better Time)
