RADICAL CHANGE
Please just one more chance,
I've just failed again.
Question everything,
Never understand.

Point blank, guilt today,
Pride just dies away.
Won't do that again,
Please don't ask me when.

It's a radical change
Standing alone, feeling the weight of the whole world.
Defenseless again,
Standing alone, turning my back on the whole world....

All life disarray
Prospects fall away
All that was at stake
All that I could take

It's a radical change
Standing alone, feeling the weight of the whole world.
Defenseless again,
Standing alone, turning my back on the whole world....

I know this time the change will last forever
Forever!

It's a radical change
Standing alone, feeling the weight of the whole world.
Defenseless again,
Standing alone, turning my back on the whole world
Yeah

Radical Change
It's a radical change

FLYING MONKEYS
All the days, all the lies, oh every single one.
Held inside, kept alive with every rising sun.
Some they do it right,
Some forgive it all.
But I'm afraid I'm inclined to fight this one alone.

Throw the past away, oh yet again
Hold the lie inside, until the end

I accept, cause I regret the chances come and gone.
But you should learn, I'll never turn a blind eye too long.
Some they do it right, some they look away,
But I'm inclined to bide my time,
I'll take this to the grave.

Throw the past away, oh yet again
Hold the lie inside, until the end

What on earth have I become?
Deny the light despite the sun
Through these eyes I see the end
This bitter heart's been broke again

Throw the past away, oh yet again
Hold the lie inside, until the end
Throw the past away, again
Hold the lie inside, until the end

CAUTERIZE
I am the chosen, the true son
Follow my rule to the word
You will learn, you will learn
I have provided the answer,
I have submitted your role
You will know, you will know

Take the sun and cauterize
Make us pure again
All the ways we victimize
Time and time again

We are the balance, the reason
We are the chance that ya take
Make no mistake, no mistake

Take the sun and cauterize
Make us pure again
All the ways we victimize
Time and time again
Again

I'm a shadow of what once had come and gone
And I'm dying
The pure hate that I dealt all that I've done, still defiant
How another one will arrive when I'm erased
I'm Erased

Take the sun and cauterize
Make us pure again
All the ways we victimize
Time and time again

Take the sun and cauterize
Make us pure again
All the ways we victimize
Time and time again

ARM YOURSELF
Arm yourself
Lick your wounds
While you can
Make your stand
And then pray you don't break

Like your own
Lay on themselves
Ignore their wounds
Kick down doors
And attack when they break
When they break
When they break

They say a man who fears will suffer twice,
The fear has surely died.
I throw a curse right into the rising sun,
Today this will all be done.

I hope that fate is on your side
Risk your life
Plan, escape every moment you wake

By yourself, alone again
Just like before
The strength you held, it is yours no more
No more

They say a man who fears will suffer twice,
The fear has surely died.
I throw a curse right into the rising sun,
Today this will all be done.

Ohhhhhohhhhohhhh

I know you never know how
It ain't like here
You're never brought down
When it comes you'll never know when
But I've learned things I never knew then
Ohh

They say a man who fears will suffer twice,
The fear has surely died.
I throw a curse right into the rising sun,
Today this will be done.
They say a man who fears will suffer twice,
The fear has surely died.
I throw a curse right into the rising sun,
Today this will be done.
Will be done!

DARK TRIP
It's hard to tell the moment it went wrong
Now all the pain and all the fight is gone
Overtake these wretched walls,
To only find what I've lost.
But all the pain and all the fight is gone,
Forever gone

Well I welcome you to this place, my home.
Well it's withered in any case, my home.
How could you ever deny I care? I loved.
And if you're willing, I'll take you there
My home

It's hard to say the wrong that I would do
What's good for me is not so good for you
So go ahead and lick those wounds
But don't you heal too soon
'Cause all the pain and all the fight is gone
Forever gone

Well I welcome you to this place, my home.
Well it's withered in any case, my home.
How could you ever deny I care? I loved.
And if you're willing, I'll take you there
My home

Take from me the most
Leave me here alone
Forsaken me again!

Well I welcome you to this place, my home.
Well it's withered in any case, my home.
How could you ever deny I care? I loved.
And if you're willing, I'll take you there
My home

ANOTHER HEART
It's a shame you sold your lies before God.
What our eyes have seen, oh have you forgot?
Where's your values? Were they all thrown away?
Where's the reason you will suffer today?
Today, today.

Hard on the brain
Tear at the walls to find it
Toss it away, find me another heart
Break the inside, hurt in a way you'll like it
Eager to find, find me another heart

Learn a lesson from the words that you speak
Feigned forgiveness 'cause the wounds are too deep
The end's a lonely place and now it is here
You live your final days alone with your fear
Your fear, your fear

Hard on the brain, tear at the walls to find it
Toss it away, find me another heart
Break the inside, hurt in a way you'll like it
Eager to find, find me another heart

It's a shame, such a shame oh

Hard on the brain, tear at the walls to find it
Toss it away, find me another heart
Break the inside, hurt in a way you'll like it
Eager to find, find me another heart
Find me another heart
Find, find me another heart

FALL AGAIN
Now that I can see
I'll admit my mistake
We'll show with great honor, how surely we break
We struggle within
Yeah, we fight for the cause
But soon they'll be upon us and soon we'll be lost
Oh no

And so we fall again
And so we fall again

We'll choose to be true, to life we portrayed
Assuming we are given
A choice to be made
one of great envy
This path that we choose
The moment we weaken
Is the moment we lose

And now that I can see
That nothing is real
I hope we can find them
And teach them to feel

And so we fall again
And so we fall again

And I think I lost my way
You think it's so easy?
You think it's so easy?
Well I think I lost my way
And it was so easy!
And it was so easy!

And we fall again
And we fall again

And so we fall again
And so we fall again

TIE THE NOOSE
All that It takes
Is a little before it breaks
All that we kill
Will gain us nothing and it never will
And it never will, no, no

Tie the noose, watch the fall,
Lie awake right through it all.
Let's begin to lay to waste,
Consume it all, burn everything
I don't care, I know who's wrong,
You know what's right, knew it all along.
Now take your stand or pay the price again.

Take another turn
breathe in new life from lessons learned
They, they know we're here
Turn from no one, embrace your fear
Yeah
Go embrace your fear!
Ohh woah

Tie the noose, watch the fall,
Lie awake right through it all.
Let's begin to lay to waste,
Consume it all, burn everything
I don't care, I know who's wrong,
You know what's right, knew it all along.
Now take your stand or pay the price again.
Or pay the price again.

Tie the noose, watch the fall,
Lie awake right through it all.
Let's begin to lay to waste,
Consume it all, burn everything
I don't care, I know who's wrong,
You know what's right, knew it all along.
Now take your stand or pay the price again.
Or pay the price again.

SYMPATHY
Now I've found a space between
And in here I still believe
That the path we walked is still
Right here if I find the will
I've chased the greater good
And I've always understood
When I take my final stand
I will proudly face the end

Sympathy my friend
Abandon me again
Their empty minds we'll read em
Their frozen hearts we'll feed em
Honesty my love
Again now you're gone
Let's take these wounds
And throw em all away
Away

I hope that I find it still
I've tried and I always will
I'm lost until I see this place
It speaks words that I can't erase
All the years that I've had to wait
They have all that I had to take
But it can't change the way I feel
'Cause I know what I seek is real

Sympathy my friend
Abandon me again
Their empty minds we'll read em
Their frozen hearts we'll feed em
Honesty my love
Again now you're gone
Let's take these wounds
And throw em all away
All away

Grown oh so tired I'll always chase a dream
Pulled by something inside
Led by the light I always fail to reach
How it calls, how it pleads, how it shines
Where are you now my friend
Where could you be my friend oh
Where are you now my friend
Ohhhh

Sympathy my friend
Abandon me again
Their empty minds we'll read em
Their frozen hearts we'll feed em
Honesty my love
Again now you're gone
Let's take these wounds
And throw em all away
Throw 'em all away!

PROVIDENCE
Take what you find and hold it inside
Pretend it will never be free
Learn from your past
Resist to the last
Delay when providence comes

Tear down the walls rebuild from the wars we wage
Find what is mine and crawl to the shadows, our cage

Beliefs that we share, I know you're out there
You hide from the eyes of this world
Shield what you love
And hope it's enough
And pray that your providence comes

Tear down the walls rebuild from the wars we wage
Find what is mine and crawl to the shadows, our cage
We plan our escape
We run from the shame again
We learn to evolve
Seek change, change it all
Someway

Take the life of
Always shameful
Take the life of
Always shameful

Take what you find
And hold it inside
Plan your escape
The wars that we wage

Tear down the walls rebuild from the wars we wage
Find what is mine and crawl to the shadows, our cage
We plan our escape
We run from the shame again
We learn to evolve
Seek change, change it all
Someway
Change it all someway
Change it all someway

Does anybody know what Mark is saying in the second verse of Fall Again? This is what I'm hearing but I can't figure out if it's 100% accurate or not....

We'll choose to be true, to life we betrayed?
Assuming we'll give up
A choice to be made
The one that we envy oh <???

That's the only part of the album that I'm not 100% confident about the lyrics.

I'm going to wait until I get my physical copy so I have the official lyrics. Want to make sure I don't have to make anymore changes. It'll only be another 2-3 days

Okay fair enough. At least when you have to make the corrections you can use my lyrics as a base and just make the small corrections necessary.

The bridge in Cauterize sounds different...

"That I've dealt all that I've done" is what I hear, not sure if that even makes sense

Compared to what you have anyway

Had a quick glance through the lyrics in the booklet, the main one I hadn't heard at all during my listens is in Providence - "Tear down the walls, rebuild from the wars we wage". Going by Shea's post at the top of the page, it's also "crawl to the shadows, our cage". And my one lyric in Cauterize that I could never decide on is "I have submitted to your role". (It's also "Take the Sun".)
For all of the hope that it brings...

Thanks, Ubik! That crawl to the shadows part is exactly what I thought it would be; but I just wasn't sure if it would look weird typed out. But that helps reaffirm it.

When you go through it again; these are more I wasn't sure of;

PROVIDENCE
Take what you find and hold it inside
Pretend it would never be fair (?) < I keep hearing an extra "r" after the f :headscratch
Learn from your past
Resist to the last
Delay when providence comes

FALL AGAIN
We'll choose to be true, to life we portrayed
Assuming we're given (?) < I either hear we're given or we'll give up :headscratch
A choice to be made
The one that we envy oh (?) <no clue but that's what I heard.
This path that we choose
The moment we weaken
Is the moment we lose

Glad it's not just me. Sounds like he's starting to say "free"and then changes his mind mid note and switches to "fair".

Alright guys, sorry for the wait. Original post is updated with the CORRECT official lyrics. Now that the speculation is over and to keep this thread going, post your favorite lyrics or your own interpretations of them (despite Mark already detailing what they mean), or the mods can just lock this thread :lol whatever works best. Enjoy!

Thanks, Hartie! Wow so many of my lyrics were wrong! :lol and looking at the correct ones now; I seriously think either Mark improvises in the studio or he really doesn't say words clear enough when they track them.

I refuse to accept the official lyrics for Providence. Especially in the bridge. There's no way that he's saying shameful by itself and there's definitely an of in there. Unless it's "take the life-ah(causing the of sound) away shameful" either way it's weird.

I'm sure there are times when you have the final version of your lyrics written in front of you, and when you actually sing in the studio, little nuances and things will crop up to cause some subtle differences. But whoever writes the lyrics for the booklet is just copying what Mark gives them. I don't think they're listening through the album and trying to write everything down that they hear.
