Track Name: Dare
Well I've lived my life in all of these caverns,
Caverns of love,
And caverns of fear,
You've seen my face,
You know that I'm going,
I'm going to run,
Before you can leave.

How do you not recognise that I'm insane?
Why are you still here?
It's not enough to reconcile,
If you tell me you love me I'll remember I'm scared.

Well I've lived a life lacking in balance,
Lacking in love,
Lacking in fear.
And I've made myself happy not knowing,
Whether I'm sane or whether I'm mad.

Save your best for another's eyes,
Stay ahead of the game,
While you still can.
Look beyond this poor disguise,
Perception is nothing but ego gone bad.

Take yourself to the edge,
Step into the dark
Keep your space,
Keep your head,
Don't look to the start.
Track Name: Burn Slow
All I have is now gone.

As we walk through this crowd,
Our minds they turn,
Without a sound
The bitter few,
Having nothing to say now,
Their minds they turn,
They scream and shout.

If you should hide then who would run?
We'll trash this place,
Destroy the sun.
As Nero did,
We'll fiddle now,
While all we love burns to the ground,
A severed life our conscience lives,
With half it takes and half it gives,
With burdened breath we falter now,
In paradise there's nothing left.

You know the better path,
So take it before we're out of time,
Or there'll be nowhere to hide.

Take no chance on those who wait,
We're leaving first,
We're going now.
The driven few are stopping at nothing,
They'll have their way without a doubt.
