The Grace of Falling + Band in Minneapolis, MN

Modus Track number: 7 Year: 2002 Album: Identity Genre: Metal

Tread carefully; the ice is thin Be cautious now- don’t you let him in Do you know he cried? For the saying of such cruel hopes Full circle/ In and out again Yin and Yang/ Yang and Yin Where were you? When the tears fell to the ground and turned to stone. Stone I am not alone; I cannot believe Feathers fall like water returning to the sea Do you know he cried? For the saying of such cruel hopes Full circle/ In and out again Yin and Yang/ Yang and Yin Where were you? When the tears fell to the ground and turned to stone. Created By my loneliness Please turn me around To show me the strange thing that I… Created by my own designs Turn me around To show me the strange thing that I am. Tread carefully; the ice is thin Be cautious now- don’t you let him in AND YA KNOW HE’D DIE! To save the saying of such cruel hopes Timeless form- like a spiral spinning down the drain Weights and balanced scales that drag him down Why? Why? Tortured By this holy search I wish that you’d come back To prove how beautiful I really am. I am not alone; I cannot believe There surely is a purpose- We are all in need I am not alone; I cannot believe I, confused as you- We were all deceived

Mercury Green Track number: 5 Year: 2000 Album: Derivation Genre: Metal

Green Like Mercury In your Eyes Time out of Mind Same Broken Theme In your soul; Slick as pain You Ruined everything How could You bear to Let go? Scream Pull me Forcibly Into You Breath of your Breast Enrapture me In your Soul; Slick as Pain You ruined Everything How could You bear to let Go And there’s nothing that I want to save- Anxiety pulling me, like a tidal wave I wanna know where the hell you came from? Tell me how you tried, now that it’s broken And it’s a rather quiet world Where people walk away and leave you just as before And if something touches you today is that still enough to resound? It’s too hard to bear- and you’re breakin’ me down And the world has left me numb with its embrace Trauma brought on by Indifference seems far to common place And the world has left me numb with its embrace Indifference brought on by Trauma seems far To Common Place

State of Bliss Track number: 1 Year: 2002 Album: Identity Genre: Metal

I wanted to scream for 8hrs. or more I wanted to tell the whole world- about you Where can I turn when you’re not there for me? With out you this is gonna break in me Surrounded by joy for the first time- Happy on the outside- inside torn apart I put on my smile; I made my stand I clung to how happy I know I should’ve been Oh! Love and Care don’t seem to matter at this point I can’t hear over the goddamned noise Of the rushing in my ears- can’t trust myself alone Just let me bleed; my blood I own Didn’t wanna give in- To the words you said It was a low- God, no! Not in my head I had to live with that clawing creature in my gut I wanted to let it go- I think I’ve had enough Surrounded by joy for the first time- Happy on the outside- inside torn apart I put on my smile; I made my stand I clung to how happy I know I should’ve been To find release from the pain I’ll tell myself over again and again This is an endurance test It felt so good to be occupied I wanna give it one more try I need to be surprised Surrounded by joy for the first time- Happy on the outside- inside torn apart I put on my smile; I made my stand I clung to how happy I know I should’ve been Oh! Love and Care don’t seem to matter at this point I can’t feel over the goddamned noise Of the rushing in my ears- can’t trust myself alone Just let me bleed; my blood I own True insecurity. Real pain True loneliness brought on by Real shame True repression leads straight to Real confusion You can call it self-diffusion, but I’ll remember it as fear! Surrounded by joy for the first time- Happy outside- inside torn apart I put on my smile and I made my stand Clung to how happy I know I should’ve been Just let me bleed Just let me bleed Just let me bleed My blood I own!
