The Blinding Of False Light (Innerpartysystem Remix) lyrics - As i lay dying

I see now, I see through the veil of expectation.

I see now, I see that conformity is betrayal.

Betrayal of those who are forgotten, yet vision alone furthers our blame.

Unless followed by transformation, it is pointless to be given sight.

Without the hope of our reaction, we overlook the purpose of our eyes.

Now is our chance to breathe without tyranny, released from the blinding of false light.

(blinding of false light)

Now is our chance to breathe without tyranny. In weakness we are freed.

I see now, I see that conformity is betrayal.

With empty eyes I've looked ahead (ahead), with clarity I now look back.

Now is our chance to breathe without tyranny, released from the blinding of false light.

(blinding of false light).

Now is our chance (our chance) to breathe without, without tyranny.

In weakness we are freed. Yeah!

I admit my failure. Opacity has dulled my senses.

Conformity (conformity) controlled by lifeless vices. Oh! Yeah!

Covetousness (covetousness) disguised as ambition.

But now it ends. [x4]

Not with defeat but determination. We are freed. Yeah!

Now is our chance to breathe without tyranny, released from the blinding of false (false) light (light).

Now is our chance. [x2]

In weakness we are freed.

Wrath Upon Ourselves (Ben Weinman Remix) lyrics - As i lay dying

I can only imagine that wrath is being held out

So there will be time for us to be redeemed

But surely wrath is not being held out

So that we may redeem ourselves

For I've seen the madness

Of those who died trying

But is regret only a word that the living possess?

I long to see their faces

Regardless of the decay

For in the eyes of the deceased...

We would see hope in our last day

Inside this dying world

For there is still beauty

Inside this dying world

For what good is there holding off wrath

If we are determined

To bring wrath upon ourselves

Confined (Kelly "Carnage" Cairns Remix) lyrics - As i lay dying

That night I never came home.

Wandering souls captured my thoughts..

Emptiness filled my mind.

Urgency spoke her lies.

In the confines of these grey walls.

I watched them move together.

Taking me places I cannot remember (remember).

We have been poured out...

Into a loveless bride..

How quickly I forget...

That this is meaningless.

How quickly I forget...

That this is meaningless.

In a world passing through my fingers.

I still chase the wind.

How quickly I forget...

That this is meaningless

How quickly I forget...

That this is meaningless

what have I learned from yesterday?

what have I learned from yesterday?

Elegy (Big Chocolate Remix) lyrics - As I Lay Dying

[to Stephanie for undying friendship]

did you ever see me

or could you even see at all

I looked at your cold white face

so still, so empty

yet I knew you were at rest

much more comforted than I

what else could I find to replace who you were

it was the carefree unrestricted love that you

[Chorus]

never meant to give

you never had the choice,

it was your innocence

it was part of who you were

it was the comfort of a friend

Beyond Our Suffering Lyrics – as I lay dying

What we see now is only a fraction...

Bound to learn the hard way (hard way), this is the human condition.
There is nothing that can be said to stop us from making mistakes.
When I look to myself as a source of ending pain, no matter how many times before I've failed.

Ya...
It seems our problems solve themselves when... when we look beyond us to those truly in hell.

The more I focus on myself, then the more helpless that I become.
So why not erase this point of view? My suffering is trivial...
Beyond our suffering. Ya... ...compared to those who know real agony.

It seems our problems solve themselves, when we look beyond us to those truly in hell.
It seems our problems solve themselves, when we look beyond our suffering.
It seems our problems solve themselves, when we look beyond our suffering. Go...

My trials seem insignificant now.

Why won't we look beyond us? Why won't we look beyond our despair?
It seems our problems solve themselves, when we look to those truly in hell. Go...

Personal redemption cannot change the world,
unless we lay down our lives for those who still suffer.

Anodyne Sea Lyrics – as I lay dying

None of this matters, none of these words. Common and silent we will die in this world.
We've only spoken to those who agree, and without them we've fallen on deaf ears.

Stand on conviction and you will walk alone.

For once I have stood (I have stood), no one will know, but alone I was born and alone we must go.

In my convictions I've found my own grave, but amongst the dead we all fade away.

Yeah...
Yet solitude is better than a life not worthy of reaction.
There is nothing to lose (nothing). So we stand alone or join those who follow in misery.

In my convictions I've found my own grave, but amongst the dead we all fade away.
In my convictions I've found my own grave, but amongst the dead we all fade away.
Fade away...

Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone.
A voice is only a noise without someone to hear, and without a crowd to feed that noise grows silent.

For once I have stood, no one will know, but alone I was born and alone we must go.
Fading back into an anodyne sea, to drown with all who've gone before me.

Yeah... We must go.

In my convictions I've found my own grave (my own grave), but amongst the dead we all fade away. Yeah...
In my convictions (convictions), I've found my own grave, but amongst the dead we all fade away.

Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone. Yeah...
Fading back into an anodyne sea, to drown with all who've gone before me.
Fading back... fading. Fading back into an anodyne sea.
Fading back... fading. Fading back... fading away.

Without Conclusion Lyrics – as I lay dying

Yeah...

If we chase acclaim in search for...search for stature, then our status becomes a vacuum draining.
Opulence is a myth for there is no final rest.
Change in circumstance only delays. The inescapable fact that we are downcast.

In looking to the end we've lost sight of where to begin.

Hope lies not in reaching...reaching the end, if the journey itself is enough to bring fulfillment.

Without conclusion this song will end. Without conclusion there is no final rest.
Without conclusion... Shred...

We are void of purpose before we start.
For in chasing our destination the present state is sacrificed... sacrificed.
In looking to... In looking to the end we have lost sight of where to begin.
We've lost... We have lost sight of where to begin.

Without conclusion this song will end. Without conclusion there is no final rest...
Without conclusion this song will end. Without conclusion there is no final rest...
Without conclusion this song will end. Without conclusion...

Parallels Lyrics – as I lay dying

We are all comatose. We are overfed and under...undernourished, yearning for something more.
Never starving yet never quite satisfied. Carnal but without useful flesh or mind. Yeah...

I am a walking contradiction that's found consistency
consuming everything, all without producing sustenance.

In the parallels we struggle... struggle to upkeep, there is a better way for us to be set free.
From all it is we crave, there must be more to life than to simply stay alive... to simply stay alive.

We are not the same as I hope to show. There is a better way if we just let go.
We are not... we are not the same. We are not... we are not the same. Let go...

In the tension between devouring want or simple need
it's clear the only lines between the ones we preserve.

We are not the same as I hope to show. There is a better way if we just let go.
We are not... we are not the same. We are not... we are not the same.
Let go... We are not the same.

And in the parallels we struggle to upkeep, there's a better way for us to be... for us to be set free.
And in the parallels (parallels) we struggle to upkeep (struggle to upkeep), there's a better way for us to be... for us to be set free.

The Plague Lyrics – as I lay dying

Just like the spread of disease... Ya... Ya...
Debt and guilt or guilt and decree, the masters that we please.
Yet if we seek help for infirmities, we are made twice the sons of hell as before.

Reach out your hand. Reach out your hand, only to be plagued by disease.
Reach out your hand. Reach out your hand, only to be plagued by disease.

While religion tries to blame what we cannot see, I accept that part of the problem is me.
It was never a sacred mandate to accept conformity, through select revelations that we choose to believe.

Another blind guide replacing divine eyes.

Familiarity is the great deception, disguised by authority, sealing out subversion.

Whitewashed tombs have hidden the truth, for we unknowingly worship icons of ordinary life.

Reach out your hand to find forgiveness, only to be plagued by disease.
The horrors of beliefs and customs, camouflaged by commonality.

Reach out your hand, reach out your hand. Reach out your hand, reach out your hand.

I still believe that there is hope for us, but I believe we must look outside the sanctuaries of oppression that have brought our world so much pain...

Yeah...
Another blind guide replacing divine eyes (eyes).
Whitewashed tombs (whitewashed tombs) have hidden the truth.

Reach out your hand to find forgiveness, only to be plagued by disease (plagued by disease).
Reach out your hand to find forgiveness (reach out your hand), only to be plagued by disease.
Reach out your hand, reach out your hand.
