It seems you believe in the words as tokens
Your heart still succumbs to the fear unspoken
And some I know are filled with courage
But most I know will not be chosen
But don't feel afraid as the storm blows this way
Know that truth can't fail us, can't enslave us
But don't feel afraid as the storm blows this way
Know that truth can't fail us, can't enslave
In dreams we escape to a world unbroken
And those who we hate will become awoken
And some, I hope, will die as martyrs
The most ovine souls will end in slaughter
But don't feel afraid as the storm blows this way
Know that truth can't fail us, can't enslave us
But don't feel afraid as the storm blows this way
Know that truth can't fail us, you can't-
(Shut your eyes) as you surround me with pain
(Judas mind) as you betray me again
(Take your time) as you surround me with pain
(Judas mind) as you betray me again
But don't feel afraid (tell me it's okay, tell me it's alright)
As the storm blows this way (you made your shelter black out the sunlight)
Know that truth can't fail us, can't enslave
But don't feel afraid (tell me it's okay, tell me it's alright)
As the storm blows this way (you made your shelter black out the sunlight)
Know that truth can't fail us, you can't-
(Shut your eyes) as you surround me with pain
(Judas mind) as you betray me again
(Take your time) as you surround me with pain
(Judas mind) as you betray me again

Illusion
Pronounce me a sinner
Then drown me in shame
Well, you reek of delusion
Regret is clouding your brain
Now you reap the pollution
That's been sown in your veins
You create the illusion
Desecrate all the faith left in my mind
You create the confusion
Then erase all these sound intentions
You embrace the infusion
To keep the sickness detained
(F*ck that shit)
Propagate the obsession
That feeds the rabid ordained
You create the illusion
Desecrate all the faith left in my mind
You create the confusion
Desecrate all these well intended signs
Did you have to heed the killers?
Why?
How could you fall for the lies?
You create the illusion
Desecrate all the faith left in my mind
You create the confusion
Then erase all these sound intentions
Why?
Why?
Then drown me in shame
Well, you reek of delusion
Regret is clouding your brain
Now you reap the pollution
That's been sown in your veins
You create the illusion
Desecrate all the faith left in my mind
You create the confusion
Then erase all these sound intentions
You embrace the infusion
To keep the sickness detained
(F*ck that shit)
Propagate the obsession
That feeds the rabid ordained
You create the illusion
Desecrate all the faith left in my mind
You create the confusion
Desecrate all these well intended signs
Did you have to heed the killers?
Why?
How could you fall for the lies?
You create the illusion
Desecrate all the faith left in my mind
You create the confusion
Then erase all these sound intentions

Beneath the Veil
Elation eludes me, always an empty shell within
Salvation can leave me open, then where do I begin
I find that this heart grows colder, shallow breathing in
Damnation will cure the hunger crawling on your skin
I know there's blood upon your pillow
I seek the will to be alive (I doubt that I'll find it)
Beneath the veil, another broken person
Stagnation will hold you over until the bitter end
Sedation will hold you closer, become your only friend
I find when the mind gets bolder, it only makes you bend
That demon who's on your shoulder waiting to expand
I know there's blood upon your pillow
I seek the will to be alive (I doubt that I'll find it)
Beneath the veil, another broken person
I need to keep the pain inside, that's where I hide it
I bleed the vein to cleanse the sacred poison
Well now I'm dying to know
Why do the bruises still show
Well now I'm dying to know
I know there's blood upon your pillow
The kind you can't even explain away
I seek the will to be alive (I doubt that I'll find it)
Beneath the veil, another broken person
I need to keep the pain inside, that's where I hide it
I bleed the vein to cleanse the sacred poison
Sacred poison
Sacred poison

Semblance of Me
Well, I guess I make you nervous
And I probably feel the same
In the end it serves a purpose
I'm just a moth to the flame
When a scratch becomes a lesion
I like to turn the eye that's blind
You create a better version of me
But oh, that's all a lie
I succumb to the feelings that I never hold
I just keep them inside me
And now it feels like I'm peeling the flesh from my bones
Let my soul break free
An imitation of a person
Whose never sure who they should be
Well, maybe I can use this version and be-
Become a semblance of me
Time to smear the wounds with ointment
Wrap the bandage nice and tight
Then embrace the disappointment
That was stolen from a child
I succumb to the feelings that I never hold
I just keep them inside me
And now it feels like I'm peeling the flesh from my bones
Let my soul break free
It's always the same
I'll just f*cking break this
I'll just f*cking break this
I'll just f*cking break this
I'll just f*cking break this
I'll just f*cking break this
I succumb to the feelings that I never hold
I just keep them inside me
And now it feels like I'm peeling the flesh from my bones
Let my soul break free
I succumb to the feelings that I never hold
I just keep them inside me
And now it feels like I'm peeling the flesh from my bones
Let my soul break free
And I probably feel the same
In the end it serves a purpose
I'm just a moth to the flame
When a scratch becomes a lesion
I like to turn the eye that's blind
You create a better version of me
But oh, that's all a lie

Walls Come Down
I still remember the day that you entered my world
Filled with splendor, a light in the darkness unfurled
Well I figured it out, the louder they shout the more I fall
I'm reliving it now, the essence of how I lose this all
So take this doubt and grant me something more
I won't last without a reason to endure
For now and ever I can't help but get in my way
I feel the pressure, the imminent cloud of dismay
Well the quicker I find the peace in my mind then I'll feel sane
But the thicker the grime, the deeper the shine I can't reclaim
So take this doubt and grant me something more
I won't last without a reason to endure
Don't mistake me now for an empty shell unsure
When the walls come down you're left with something pure
I still remember the day that you entered my world
Filled with splendor, a light in the darkness unfurled
Well I figured it out, the louder they shout the more I fall
I'm reliving it now, the essence of how I lose this all
So take this doubt and grant me something more
I won't last without a reason to endure
Don't mistake me now for an empty shell unsure
When the walls come down you're left with something pure
No, we don't belong out here
No, we don't belong out here
No, we don't belong out here
No, we don't belong out here
Filled with splendor, a light in the darkness unfurled
Well I figured it out, the louder they shout the more I fall
I'm reliving it now, the essence of how I lose this all
So take this doubt and grant me something more
I won't last without a reason to endure
For now and ever I can't help but get in my way
I feel the pressure, the imminent cloud of dismay
Well the quicker I find the peace in my mind then I'll feel sane
But the thicker the grime, the deeper the shine I can't reclaim
So take this doubt and grant me something more
I won't last without a reason to endure
Don't mistake me now for an empty shell unsure
When the walls come down you're left with something pure
I still remember the day that you entered my world
Filled with splendor, a light in the darkness unfurled

I'm reliving it now, the essence of how I lose this all
So take this doubt and grant me something more

Try to Heal
It always works out the same
I'm never in on the game
And no one's held to account for their part in the blame
So hold me down, hands on my throat
Declare your love, then choke me out
It's all my fault
I should have known how to make you feel better
It's making so much sense to me now
It's tragic 'cause it felt so real
This ending is it's own beginning
Now I can finally try to heal
And all throughout this embrace
You smile then spit in my face
Although I want to believe, I know words are in vain
So hold me now and whisper lies
Just stay a while, I'd rather die
It's all my fault
I know I've shown that I'm just dead inside
It's making so much sense to me now
It's tragic 'cause it felt so real
This ending is it's own beginning
Now I can finally try to heal
Now this is just an epitaph
And you won't ever own me
'Cause I have been to hell and back
With a pocketful of posies
I fall down
I fall down
I fall down
I fall down
It's making so much sense to me now
It's tragic 'cause it felt so real
This ending is its own beginning
Now I can finally try to heal
It's making so much sense to me now
It's tragic 'cause it felt so real
This ending is it's own beginning
Now I can finally try to heal
I fall down
I fall down
I fall down
I fall down
I'm never in on the game
And no one's held to account for their part in the blame
So hold me down, hands on my throat
Declare your love, then choke me out
It's all my fault

It's making so much sense to me now

Paint the World
Those cold eyes make me shiver
They mould minds to run their lives
Oh, no we can't let them decide
The age of consent for pedicide
Here comes the schism
We're never given a say
(As they paint the world with lies)
Their sickness out on display
(They don't feel the need to hide)
Throw them into the river
With a stone tied around their necks
Oh, what a bunch of parasites
Safe in the towers where they hide
Here comes the schism
We're never given a say
(As they paint the world with lies)
Their sickness out on display
(They don't feel the need to hide)
Until we're making them pay
(Remove the scales from your eyes)
Now we covet the day
(When their bones will feed the flies)
It's about to get loud
Now you're all disavowed
I'm about to explode
I'm taking every one of you down
Down
We flow like the wind in the heather
We live where the sun don't shine
We know how to make me a better-
We know how to cull the swine
We flow like the wind in the heather
We live where the sun don't shine
We know how to make me a better-
We know how to cull the swine
We're never given a say
(As they paint the world with lies)
Their sickness out on display
(They don't feel the need to hide)
Until we're making them pay
(Remove the scales from your eyes)
Now we covet the day
(When their bones will feed the flies)
We're never given a say

Same Mistakes
You make me feel like the failure I've become
You're breaking a fever while shutting out the sun
Beneath the heel, I feel like a broken little boy
Beneath the heel, I feel like there's nothing to enjoy
But don't it always come to pass that
All we know ain't real
Don't it always seem to last when
The ending is with me, out
Now I keep making the same mistakes again
And losing all by myself
I keep making the same mistakes again
The world left without me
The teeth I show are meant to ward off enemies
The teeth I show are meant to scare them, make 'em flee
But don't it always come to pass
That all the hate you feel
Is centered on the ones you care for
The ones who make you kneel
Now I keep making the same mistakes again
And losing all by myself
I keep making the same mistakes again
The world left without me
Now I keep taking the same escape again
Abusing my mental health
I keep taking the same escape again
Good reason to doubt me
Now I keep making the same mistakes again
Now I keep making the same mistakes again
Now I keep making the same mistakes again
And losing all by myself
I keep making the same mistakes again
The world left without me
Now I keep taking the same escape again
Abusing my mental health
I keep taking the same escape again
Good reason to doubt me
You're breaking a fever while shutting out the sun
Beneath the heel, I feel like a broken little boy
Beneath the heel, I feel like there's nothing to enjoy
But don't it always come to pass that
All we know ain't real
Don't it always seem to last when
The ending is with me, out
Now I keep making the same mistakes again
And losing all by myself
I keep making the same mistakes again
The world left without me
The teeth I show are meant to ward off enemies
The teeth I show are meant to scare them, make 'em flee
But don't it always come to pass
That all the hate you feel
Is centered on the ones you care for
The ones who make you kneel
Now I keep making the same mistakes again
And losing all by myself
I keep making the same mistakes again
The world left without me
Now I keep taking the same escape again
Abusing my mental health
I keep taking the same escape again
Good reason to doubt me
Now I keep making the same mistakes again
Now I keep making the same mistakes again
Now I keep making the same mistakes again
And losing all by myself
I keep making the same mistakes again
The world left without me
Now I keep taking the same escape again
Abusing my mental health
I keep taking the same escape again
Good reason to doubt me

Lost All Control
Speak your mind
Oh, you're no friend of mine
Feast your eyes
On poor, helpless concubine
What have I done to myself?
What have I done to myself?
Now I'm alone
And it feels like I've lost all control
I need to go home
And salvage what's left of my soul
Reveal your guise
Oh, you're so serpentine
I feel reviled
It seems it's all by design
What have I done to myself?
Now I'm alone
And it feels like I've lost all control
I need to go home
And salvage what's left of my soul
These waves, they keep crashing around me
The pain weaves a broken symphony
This rage has taken hold of me
The pain won't let me let go of myself
Now I'm alone
And it feels like I've lost all control
I need to go home
And salvage what's left of my soul
Now I'm alone
And it feels like I've lost all control
Oh, you're no friend of mine
Feast your eyes
On poor, helpless concubine
What have I done to myself?
What have I done to myself?
Now I'm alone
And it feels like I've lost all control
I need to go home
And salvage what's left of my soul
Reveal your guise
Oh, you're so serpentine
I feel reviled

These waves, they keep crashing around me
The pain weaves a broken symphony

And salvage what's left of my soul
Now I'm alone

Dead on the Vine
I have to endure assaults on my mind
Or wither away and then die on the vine
I used to be pure, I used to be kind
But now all I feel is a hatred inside
I liked it before, I hate it this time
I felt like a worm on the end of the line
This moment is fitting, so goddamn divine
And now I'm a broken vessel
So who gets to shake me now?
Oh, who gets to cut me down?
Oh, who gets to break me
Then pillage and rape me
Then leave me alive somehow?
Oh
No, I don't deserve the things that feel good
And I don't behave in the way that I should
These lessons we learned and kept from childhood
Emotionally stunted, I fell where I stood
I tried it before and failed it this time
I felt like a coward that's missing a spine
This moment is fleeting, no love for myself
And I'm the unspoken asshole
So who gets to shake me now?
Oh, who gets to cut me down?
Oh, who gets to break me
Then pillage and rape me
Then leave me alive somehow?
Oh
Who gets to shake me now?
Oh, who gets to cut me down?
Oh, who gets to break me
Then pillage and rape me
Then leave me alive somehow?
Who gets to shake me now?
Oh, who gets to cut me down?
Oh, who gets to break me
Then pillage and rape me
Then leave me alive somehow?
So who gets to shake me now?
(Why would you keep me down?)
Oh, who gets to cut me down?

Regret
I still remember your name
The sound of your voice
The smell of your clothes
I know that things aren't the same
But give them a choice
I wish that you'd froze
Well, it's always the blame
It seems to rejoice
Whenever I'm low
I know that these are the ways
To keep out the noise
When my mind slows
So don't
Don't make me come home yet
Let me steep in my regret
I've seen the ways that
Love can pass for hate
I still remember the pain
It follows me close
Where ever I go
I stored the feelings away
And try to compose
Whatever I show
Well, it's always the same
And everyone knows
What's written on my stone
I know that these are the days
It starting to show
I've never quite flow
So don't
Don't make me come home yet
Let me steep in my regret
I've seen the ways that
Love can pass for hate
I'm sick of the pain
I'm sick of the pain
I'm sick of the pain
I'm sick of the pain
I'm sick of the shame
I'm sick of the shame
I'm sick of the shame
I'm sick of the shame
I'm sick of the-
So don't
Don't make me come home yet
Let me steep in my regret
I've seen the ways that
Love can pass for hate
So don't
Please don't let me forget
How I played with ill intent
I've been the reason
Love has passed for hate
The sound of your voice
The smell of your clothes
I know that things aren't the same
But give them a choice
I wish that you'd froze
Well, it's always the blame
It seems to rejoice
Whenever I'm low
I know that these are the ways
To keep out the noise
When my mind slows
So don't
Don't make me come home yet
Let me steep in my regret
I've seen the ways that
Love can pass for hate
I still remember the pain
It follows me close
Where ever I go
I stored the feelings away
And try to compose
Whatever I show
Well, it's always the same
And everyone knows
What's written on my stone
I know that these are the days
It starting to show
I've never quite flow
So don't
Don't make me come home yet
Let me steep in my regret

I'm sick of the pain
I'm sick of the pain
I'm sick of the pain

I'm sick of the shame

Seether's new record follows the same creative direction of their last two albums: Heavy riffing, melodic choruses and overall simple yet interesting instrumental and vocal work. Focus is on strong songwriting and catchy hooks.
This time the atmosphere is more raw and dark, mixing mostly post-grunge with alternative metal. Gone are the more poppy elements of early records, but the emphasis on melody over noise remains here.
While there are some weak moments (mainly in the second half), the album have a nice flow and memorable songs in general. An overall enjoyable record for both band's fans and modern rock enthusiast.
