EP: Smoke And Mirrors Volume 1 (2020)












In Flames lyrics - 12 Stones

It's time to set the world on fire man
Scream at the sky and curse the promised land
It's easy to be angry when you're scared
And burn the bridges of the ones who care

(We're all just pieces in a twisted game)
We're all just pieces in a twisted game
We won't be happy 'til the world's in flames
We're all so cold and unashamed
We won't be happy 'til the world's in flames

We've all stopped caring for our fellow man
To love each other is a cardinal sin
Self righteous victims of our circumstance
There's no way out when we're all in a trance

I swear I never meant to be your favorite enemy
Crawling under your skin

We're all just pieces in a twisted game
We won't be happy 'til the world's in flames
We're all so cold and unashamed
We won't be happy 'til the world's in flames

Divided we stand for nothing at all
We won't be happy 'til the world's in flames
United in fear, we'll lose it all
We won't be happy 'til the world's in flames

We're all just pieces in a twisted game
We won't be happy 'til the world's in flames
We're all so cold and unashamed
We won't be happy 'til the world's in flames

Divided we stand for nothing at all
We won't be happy 'til the world's in flames
United in fear, we'll lose it all
We won't be happy 'til the world's in flames

Anywhere But Here lyrics - 12 Stones

Everything changes, everything fades to black
And I don't know why I can't seem to find
My piece of mind this time

Take me there, far from here
Where my demons all disappear
Where the fire inside brings me new life
Let's just go, anywhere, anywhere but here

Cold-hearted and jaded, my soul has been painted black
Set fire to the sky like a phoenix taking flight
I won't give in this time

Take me there, far from here
Where my demons all disappear
Where the fire inside brings me new life
Let's just go, let's just go
Take me there, far from here
Where my demons all disappear
Where the fire inside brings me new life
Let's just go, anywhere, anywhere but here

I should have died a thousand times
Will I make it out alive
I have lost my will to fight
Will I make it out alive, I'm dead inside

Take me there, far from here
Where my demons all disappear
Where the fire inside brings me new life
Let's just go, let's just go
Take me there, far from here
Where my demons all disappear
Where the fire inside brings me new life
Let's just go, anywhere, anywhere but here
Let's just go anywhere but here
Anywhere, anywhere but here

Sever lyrics - 12 Stones

I could paint a perfect picture
Of the man I am supposed to be

I could break all the silence
With the words that I need to say
I could take all this violence
But I cannot take another day

My pain and endless demons
Ensure my fear remains
Inside my light is fading

Time is standing still
I don't want to be waiting forever
For these ties to sever
Have I made myself clear
I don't want to feel this forever
It's time to sever the fear

If I seem a little bitter
Well I'm still living with this disease
And if you look a little deeper
You would understand my misery

My pain and endless demons
Ensure my fear remains
Inside my light is fading

Time is standing still
I don't want to be waiting forever
For these ties to sever
Have I made myself clear
I don't want to feel this forever
It's time to sever the fear

Time is standing still
I don't want to be waiting forever
For these ties to sever

Time is standing still
I don't want to be waiting forever
For these ties to sever
Have I made myself clear
I don't want to feel this forever
It's time to sever the fear
Sever the fear

Gone Away lyrics - 12 Stones

Reminded of the last words you said to me, I'm still shaking
Smoke another cigarette and watch the ashes drift away
I feel like I'm dreaming, hating this feeling, struggling to breathe
I'm trapped in this moment, my heart is frozen

Now that you're gone away
I'm lost inside of the words that you never heard
You're gone away, I'm so consumed by fear
I don't feel the same without you here
And I'd give anything to take back yesterday
But you're gone away

You'll never have another chance to be a life worth saving
So cherish every breath you take before we're all just a memory
If your heart is beating but your soul is sleeping, you never find true peace
Let go of the torment and live in the moment

Now that you're gone away
I'm lost inside of the words that you never heard
You're gone away, I'm so consumed by fear
I don't feel the same without you here
And I'd give anything to take back yesterday
But you're gone away, you're gone away

Gone away
I'm lost inside of the words that you never heard
You're gone away

I don't feel the same without you here
And I'd give anything to take back yesterday
But you're gone away, gone away
I don't feel the same without you here
And I'd give anything to take back yesterday
But you're gone away

Empty Words lyrics - 12 Stones

With a hopeless heart and bloodshot eyes
The walls are closing in, this smile is my disguise
An anxious mind like a rising tide
Constantly drowning in a sea of endless lies

What did I expect to find in the shadow of a better life
My choices left me paralyzed, it's time to face the truth

I found myself trapped in this hell
Surrounded by empty words and tired excuses
I disguise myself 'til there's nothing left
Surrounded by empty words

These shackled hands bound by righteous chains
I need to search my soul and try to rearrange
This wasted life, so consumed by shame
Constantly lashing out and taking zero blame

What did I expect to find in the shadow of a better life
My choices left me paralyzed, it's time to face the truth

I found myself trapped in this hell
Surrounded by empty words and tired excuses
I disguise myself 'til there's nothing left
Surrounded by empty words

I never knew these empty words were haunting you
I never knew these empty words were haunting you
With every breath, I'm straying further from the truth

I found myself trapped in this hell
Surrounded by empty words and tired excuses
I disguise myself 'til there's nothing left
Surrounded by empty words
(Empty words)

Picture Perfect (2017)













The Killer lyrics - 12 Stones

Say you love and hate me
As you desecrate me
Break me down with a smile
Feel it creeping closer
The rich taking over
You're out for blood with fire in your lungs

When the killer takes control
Over your body and your soul
Everything dies
Trapped in this hell you can't contain
Your misery becomes my pain
When I survive

Swear I hate to do this
With the same excuses
Anger swallows me whole
You feel it creeping closer
The rich taking over
You're out for blood with fire in your lungs

When the killer takes control
Over your body and your soul
Everything dies
Trapped in this hell you can't contain
Your misery becomes my pain
When I survive

When the killer takes control
Over your body and your soul
Everything dies
Trapped in this hell you can't contain
Your misery becomes my pain
When I survive

Blessing lyrics - 12 Stones

Offer my hand you spit in my face
Blinded by failures you can't face the shame
The walls of your fortress come tumbling down
You cry for a savior no ones around

Paint me a picture of how things went wrong
Cuz this violence play your favorite song
Swim through the void as black as your soul
Never forget

You've lost control of me
Never change who I am
Lies will never hide the truth
Pain is a blessing in disguise
I shiver at the thought of you
Now I'll see you on your way
As you fall from grace

Glued to the past a moth to a flame
Where will you hide when you can't shift the blame
The further you fall the more that I gain
Never forget you've caused this pain
You feel
Burning deep inside of you
Behind the veil

Never take control of me
Never change who I am
Lies will never hide the truth
Pain is a blessing in disguise
I shiver at the thought of you
Now I'll see you on your way
As you fall from grace

No
You will never change
No no
You will never change
No
You will never change
No no
You will never change

You've lost control of me
Never change who I am
Lies will never hide the truth
Pain is a blessing in disguise
I shiver at the thought of you
Now I'll see you on your way
As you fall from grace

Voodoo Doll lyrics - 12 Stones

Don't pull my strings
I wanna know who died and crowned you king
You take this way too far and all your pain
Why do you take it out on me
You take it out on me, yeah

You're lighting up candles
Flying off the handle
Your crystal ball is lying
You can't control me
You can't hold me
Over your fire

No I'm not your voodoo doll
Not a victim strangled in your cloth
You think you got me underneath your spell
With your voodoo voodoo
You're playing dirty and your magic's black
I'm pulling needles out of my back
You think you cursed me but I won't fall
Cuz I'm not your voodoo voodoo doll

You know you haunt my dreams
Your so called power is not what it seems
Your darkest hour is not mine to face
So don't you take it out on me
Take it out on me, yeah

You're lighting up candles
Flying off the handle
Your crystal ball is lying
You can't control me
You can't hold me
Over your dying fire

No I'm not your voodoo doll
Not a victim strangled in your cloth
You think you got me underneath your spell
With your voodoo voodoo
You're playing dirty and your magic's black
I'm pulling needles out of my back
You think you cursed me but I won't fall
Cuz I'm not your voodoo voodoo doll

Don't pull my strings
I wanna know who died and crowned you king

No I'm not your voodoo doll
Not a victim strangled in your cloth
You think you got me underneath your spell
With your voodoo voodoo
You're playing dirty and your magic's black
I'm pulling needles out of my back
You think you cursed me but I won't fall
Cuz I'm not your voodoo voodoo doll

Yeah
Your voodoo doll
Not your voodoo voodoo

Nothing To Say lyrics - 12 Stones

There's nothing to say
At least while these clouds still lingers
And I feel ashamed
I've spent my life pointing fingers
I'll take the blame
And I'll take the weight of your world
The past will remain
The future's still wide open

Will you save me from this misery
My hate killing everything good in me
I am trying to find where I belong

A love starts to fade
It feels like the world is ending
Remember this place
Where we found a new beginning
If you take the blame
I'll take the weight of your world
The past will remain
The future's still wide open

Will you save me from this misery
My hate killing everything good in me
I am trying to find where I where I belong

Will you save me from this misery
My hate killing everything

Will you save me from this misery
My hate killing everything good in me
I am trying to find where I where I belong

Will you save me
Will you save me yeah

Time lyrics - 12 Stones

Time is never on your side
We must keep moving
We walk through this life so paralyzed
Our past will shake our future
The path that we choose is all our own
But only time will tell

We stand and fight
We hold the line
We chose our side
We won't compromise
If you fear the cost
The true time you lost
You're destined to fade
And you're waiting for something to change

Time is never on your side
We must keep moving
Before we fade into oblivion
If our fears and hate keep growing
We'll never shift the paradigm
But only time will tell

We stand and fight
We hold the line
We chose our side
We won't compromise
If you fear the cost
The true time you lost
You're destined to fade
And you're waiting for something to change

Underneath it all
What have we become
Will we rise or will we fall
Only time will tell

We stand and fight
We hold the line
We chose our side
We won't compromise
If you fear the cost
The true time you've lost
You're destined to fade
And you're waiting for something to change

Picture Perfect lyrics - 12 Stones

Looking for light in the darkness is something for fools
Searching for hope in a hopeless time but now I'm through
Because I know I have something inside
To keep me from stumbling over my pride
And I'm dying to believe

But now that it went away I thought it would end all today
And I can feel the fight deep inside me giving way
And I don't wanna give in but it's getting really hard
To give it all away, nothing's coming back to me

There was once a time
When everything seemed fine
Now I'm going back again
To this picture perfect place of mine

I won't believe something's wrong when I know that it's true
And I know I can't lose a thing if there's nothing to lose
Nothing will keep me from chasing my dreams
And I will not give up on all of these things
That I'm trying to achieve

But now that it went away I thought it would end all today
And I can feel the fight deep inside me giving way
And I don't wanna give in but it's getting really hard
To give it all away, nothing's coming back to me

There was once a time
When everything seemed fine
Now I'm going back again
To this picture perfect place of mine

But now that it went away I thought it would end all today
And I can feel the fight deep inside me giving way
And I don't wanna give in but it's getting really hard
To give it all away, nothing's coming back to me

There was once a time
When everything seemed fine
Now I'm going back again
To this perfect place of mine
Dying before my eyes
I reach to make it mine
And now I'm going back again
To this picture perfect place of mine

Save Yourself lyrics - 12 Stones

I give you words of sympathy
But you never end up listening
To what I have to say
You're missing out
And I don't wanna be the one
To always say I told you so
But I told you so
Hey, no, I told you so

You don't wanna save yourself
You only wanna waste what's left
Thinking I could never save you from
The one that you've become
I don't wanna waste my breath
I only wanna take what's left
Now this picture's getting so much clearer
A broken man inside the mirror

I feel like I'm the only one
Left inside this lonely world
And there's no hope for me
I'm missing out
And I don't wanna be the one
That's always on the losing end
But I'm losing it
Yeah, you know, I'm losing it

You don't wanna save yourself
You only wanna waste what's left
Thinking I could never save you from
The one that you've become
I don't wanna waste my breath
I only wanna take what's left
Now this picture's getting so much clearer
A broken man inside the mirror

Save yourself, save yourself
Don't leave me hopeless again
Save yourself, save yourself
Don't leave me hopeless again

You don't wanna save yourself
You only wanna waste what's left
Thinking I could never save you from
The one that you've become
I don't wanna waste my breath
I only wanna take what's left
Now this picture's getting so much clearer
A broken man inside the mirror

Save yourself, save yourself
Save yourself, save yourself

Lerlene lyrics - 12 Stones

Yesterday we watched the colours fade
As shadows danced across your fragile face
And on the inside we're dying just to let you know we're there
And that we care (that we care)
So close your eyes and drift beyond the stars and light our way
We'll be okay (we'll be okay)
The love you shared was strong and true
We're who we are because of you

Wake me up when its over
I swear I should have told her everything she has meant to me, yeah
Take me back to October
When I could have told her everything she has meant to me
Goodnight my sweet Lerlene

All the places that I've seen
Will never compare to the dreams and vivid memories
Of the words you said that set me free
We all struggle in this life
Breathing doesn't mean you're alive
Hold on to the ones you love
Chase your dreams
The love you shared was strong and true
We're who we are because of you

Wake me up when its over
I swear I should have told her everything she has meant to me, yeah
Take me back to October
When I could have told her everything she has meant to me, yeah

Wake me up when its over
I swear I should have told her everything she has meant to me, yeah
Take me back to October
When I could have told her everything she has meant to me
Goodnight my sweet Lerlene

Memphis lyrics - 12 Stones

We all pretend that the world's not changing
We all believe we deserve much more
But deep inside there's no denying
The rising tides have reached our shores

Get in line and set the outcome
Feed the rich and rob the poor
Tell myself that it's not worth fighting
When will we wake up?

Why can't we see there's more to life than misery?
How can we fly when we clip our own wings?
How can we drown out all the sounds of hate,
When everybody screams, "What has this world done for me?"

We close our eyes as the kids are dying
We pull the shades and lock the doors
We all complain as we sit in silence
We cheat the game while keeping score

Get in line and set the outcome
Feed the rich and rob the poor
Tell myself that it's not worth fighting
When will we wake up?

Why can't we see there's more to life than misery?
How can we fly when we clip our own wings?
How can we drown out all the sounds of hate,
When everybody screams, "What has this world done for me?"

Why can't we see there's more to life than misery?
How can we fly when we clip our own wings?
How can we drown out all the sounds of hate,
When everybody screams, "What has this world done for me?"

Hey Man lyrics - 12 Stones

You're waiting for someone to guide your steps
Reality won't let you catch your breath
You beg and you plead just to catch a break
To never be free with the choices you made

Fall down, give up, you hesitate
Destined to repeat the same mistakes
But in my mind I believe that it is your time
To pick yourself up and get back in the race

Hey, man are you too afraid to lead the way
Into the waters that drown the weak
Facing the nightmares that steal your sleep
Hey, man are you strong enough to face the pain
Rise to the challenge that lies ahead
Or will you give in again

Just open your eyes and then take the leap
You're in control of your destiny
Doing your best doesn't mean you'll succeed
You'll always fail if you live on your knees

If you fall down, you can get up, don't hesitate
Refuse to repeat all the same mistakes
If in your mind you believe that it is your time
To pick yourself back up and get back in the race

Hey, man are you too afraid to lead the way
Into the waters that drown the weak
Facing the nightmares that steal your sleep
Hey, man are you strong enough to face the pain
Rise to the challenge that lies ahead
Or will you give in again

Hey, man are you too afraid to lead the way
Into the waters that drown the weak
Facing the nightmares that steal your sleep
Hey, man are you strong enough to face the pain
Rise to the challenge that lies ahead
Or will you give in again
Give in again

How Long lyrics - 12 Stones

Seems so simple, plant the seed and let it grow
We can't control the way we continue to be sold
Doesn't matter what you know because you do just what you're told
Trusting in the insincere will leave you hopeless

How long until we finally wake up
Living in a world we made up
How much of this is real?
It's gonna be a long time
Until we all get over
Always getting one day older
With no one at the wheel, yeah

It's all but over, we're getting up and letting go
And our story's ending before it's even told
Doesn't matter what you do if the choice is made for you
Trusting in the insincere will leave you hopeless

How long until we finally wake up
Living in a world we made up
How much of this is real?
It's gonna be a long time
Until we all get over
Always getting one day older
With no one at the wheel, yeah

How long,
Are you gonna let 'em pull you down,
Without a fight?
Come on
Are you gonna let 'em pull you down,
Without a fight?

How long until we finally wake up
Living in a world we made up
How much of this is real?
It's gonna be a long time
Until we all get over
Always getting one day older
With no one at the wheel, yeah

Hello Suicide lyrics - 12 Stones

How long has it been
Inside these walls again
As I waited here for you
I gave up all my friends
I drove them to the end
I have nothing left to lose

Told me to hold your hand
And you would pull me through, yeah
I have nothing left to lose this time

Hello suicide, how long will you be
Please don't take your time
Stealing this cold life from me

How long has it been
Inside these walls again
As I waited here for you
I gave up all my friends
I drove them to the end
I have nothing left to lose

Told me to hold your hand
And you would bring me through, yeah
I had nothing left to lose this time

Hello suicide, how long will you be
Please don't take your time
Stealing this cold life from me

Hello suicide, how long will you be
Please don't take your time
Stealing this cold life from me

Anthem For The Underdog (Picture Perfect Sessions) lyrics - 12 Stones

You say you know just who I am
But you can't imagine
What waits for you across the line
You thought you had me
But I'm still here standing
And I'm tired of backing down

And I'm here now feeling the pain
Of a thousand hearts
Been to hell and back again
I won't take this

You try so hard to bring me down
You can't break the broken
You still don't seem to understand
It's your turn to see just
How it feels to be me
How it feels to be knocked down

And you're here now feeling the pain
Of a thousand hearts
You've been to hell and back again
You can't take this

Remember
This feeling

How it feels to be alive
Now you see me through my eyes
And we're here now feeling the beat
Of a thousand hearts
Coming back to life again
We can make it

Remember
This feeling
Remember

We Are One (Picture Perfect Sessions) lyrics - 12 Stones

We walk alone
In the unknown
We live to win another victory
We are the young
Dying sons
We live to change the face of history

So be afraid
It's the price we pay
The only easy day was yesterday
So hear our voice
We have a choice
It's time to face it

We are one
We are one
We are one
We will stand together
Number one
Number one
The chosen ones
We are one
We are one
We will fight forever
We are one and we won't die young

We are the bold
United souls
We live to win another victory
Our sacred scars
Show who we are
And tell the story of our memories

Don't be afraid
It's the price we pay
The only easy day was yesterday
So hear our voice
We have a choice
It's time to face it

We are one
We are one
We are one
We will stand together
Number one
Number one
The chosen ones
We are one
We are one
We will fight forever
We are one and we won't die young

We walk alone
In the unknown
We live to win another victory
Our sacred scars
Show who we are
It's time to face it

We are one
We are one
We are one
We will stand together
Number one
Number one
The chosen ones
We are one
We are one
We will fight forever
We are one and we won't die young

We are one
We are one
Yeah
Number one
Number one
The chosen ones
We are one
We are one
Yeah
We are one and we won't die young

Have You Ever lyrics - 12 Stones

Have you ever tried to live without?
Did you ever know what it's all about?
It's the sound of the wind that is blowing my mind
It's the beat of the earth making me sleep at night

Woo, woo
Woo, woo

Have you ever tried to live without?
Did you ever know what it's all about?
It's the sound of the wind that is blowing my mind
It's the beat of the earth making me sleep at night

Woo

Unsaid lyrics - 12 Stones

Sitting on a swingset
Watching days go bye
Conversations about nothing
Streets light on
It's time to go home

I'm not worried about tomorrow
Cause it's only a day away

And I know it's not my fault
Never dreamed this day would come
Now I'm wishing for my yesterday
So many things are left undone
So many things are left undone

As I pull into the driveway
I feel myself go numb
And the tears of pain begin to fall
Now my worlds undone

And I know it's not my fault
Never dreamed this day would come
Now I'm wishing for my yesterday
So many things are left undone

Yes, I know it's not my fault
Never dreamed this day would come
Now I'm wishing for my yesterday
So many things are left undone

Yes, you never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know tomorrow

You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know
You never know tomorrow

Yes, I know it's not my fault
Never dreamed this day would come
Now I'm wishing for my yesterday
So many things are left undone...

So many things are left undone
