In these mellow dreams
Lies a paradise
Full of sweet things
And peaceful life
Oh in these sweet dreams
This oasis brings
A serene being
For all that I see
Oh Concordia, My sweet escape
Concordia, take the pain away
In these mellow dreams
Lies sweet harmony
In all things that be
As surreal as can be
In my dreams
I can be free
From all things that are
Outside of paradise
Oh Concordia, My sweet escape
Concordia, take the pain away
In these mellow dreams
That’ll never be
I can escape
From reality
If only I can sleep
Eternally
Indulging in harmony
Distant from misery
Oh Concordia, my sweet escape
Concordia, take the pain away

Deserts and oasis
Paradise awaits

Happiness awaits you’ll see
Even Hell’s not Hell if you’re happy
Hell’s not Hell if you’re happy
Hell’s not Hell
You damn fool

Get away from your aches
Get away from your troubles forever more
Lie to me (x3)
Run away (x4)
Deserts and oasis
Paradise awaits
Life’s for fool’s so come with me
All you need is to give in
So Tell yourself you to be happy
Tell yourself you to be happy
Tell yourself

Follow with me for a little while
Get away from your aches
Get away from your troubles forever more
Lie to me (x3)
Run away (x4)

Boys with brilliance in their eyes
Dulled by years of life’s disenchanting cries
Only ever learn to work, buy, and die
On and on along roads that cry
Now and again with rat races and jives
Men marked by desperation in their eyes
Lug around bags with dead boys inside
Wandering men forsake themselves
Scared of the dissonance within the self
Only ever live by fleeing their vices
They’re pushed and pulled by their own shadows
Men who’s happiness is ever wanting
Lie to themselves today
I was better than them, at least I thought
But that was hubris then, I should’ve known
I was foolish then and now I know
Ignorance is bliss and pride brings pain
So I look around, I look away
Anything but my reflection today
Oh, I don’t wanna see what’s wrong with me
No, I don’t want to see today

Life ain’t a never-never land
Slow your roll, you ain’t forever man
All you would ever do was lie
Arrogance will hang ya out to dry
Oh I’ve fled the truth far too long
And now it’s found me, vices in hand
Now I see how rotten I’ve been
I said life ain’t no never-never land
And I know I can’t forever stand
Only thing I have now is shame
Arrogance done hung me out to dry
Now I see the fool I am, a wretch I am, I’ve always been so wrong
Life ain’t a never-never land
Lost again, how rotten I am
Back then I’d only ever lie
Arrogance has to hang me out to dry
Oh I deceived myself far too long
And it’s come to pass, that everything’s exposed
And my eyes strain, for the first time I see the truth
Life ain’t a never-never land
Salt on wounds, my flaws forever stand
Only thing I have now is shame
Arrogance done hung me out to dry
Now I see the fool I am, a wretch I am, I’ve always been so wrong

This is an Apology

White Lilies and roses... tombstones and tears
Black suits and dresses... crying’s all you hear
Down and down... another one’s gone now
Down and down yet you have no tears
You knew who death was
You know they’re gone now
There’s no more room for apologies
There’s no more making up for wasted time
For all the deaths I should’ve grieved
For all the love I should have given
This is an apology
I hope you’ll accept it please
Lillies and roses, graveyards and grief
Clergy and coffins and crying faces
Was it innocence or apathy
Why weren’t you moved by tragedy
For all the deaths I should’ve grieved
For all the love I should have given
This is an apology
I hope you’ll accept it please
White Lilies and roses, tombstones and tears
Black suits and dresses, crying’s all you hear
Locked away my repentance is now
Locked in time still is my sin
I don’t know what to do
Got no clue what I ought to say
So if this was an apology
Maybe I could be at peace
For all the deaths I should’ve grieved
For all the love I should have given
This is an apology
I hope you’ll accept it please

Take a trip to the underworld, lose yourself in hell
Things crumbled upon the fall, and we got burned
We sure felt so mighty. And we knew better
I want you to fade away. This was our fault
When we descended into the underworld
Life lost it’s vigor and we strayed away from God
Back when we went down, I had to let you go
And then I returned stronger than before
Take a trip to the underworld, lose yourself in hell
I knew I brought this on myself, keeping you around
I wouldn’t have gotten burned without you. What good are you now
I want you to fade away. Go ahead. Get gone
When we descended into the underworld
Life lost it’s vigor and we strayed away from God
Back when we went down, I had to let you go
And then I returned stronger than before
When we descended into the underworld
Life lost it’s vigor and we strayed away from God
Back when we went down, I had to let you go
And then I returned stronger than before
Stronger than before (x3)

Another sunrise
Another phase
Another sunset
Another scar
The wounds that move you
Shatter mountains
In time the lessons you learned will craft a smile
Peaks and valleys come and go
Just keep striding on and on
Now you’re here
Far away
From the pain
Yesterday’s
Behind you (x4)
