Hey liar...
Don't put me through this again
Sooner or later I will find out
Everywhere that you've been
Liar...
So you delivered me from sin?
But still you cannot save yourself
From being destroyed from within?
Burn it!
Burn it!
Burn it!
Burn it to the ground!
Dance around the ash and flame
Dance around assigning blame
Angel...?
Do you want to do this again?
Hang your halo around your neck
As scabs form on your broken wings
Hey demon...
How bad did it hurt to fall?
Or have you become so numb
That you feel nothing at all?
Burn it!
Burn it!
Burn it!
Burn it to the ground!
Dance around the ash and flame
Dance around assigning blame
Burn it!
Burn it!
Burn it!
Burn it to the ground!
Dance around the ash and flame
Dance around assigning blame
Fly away on broken wing and
Turn your back on everything

The Least of These
04:26
|
|

Turn and burn
Carry the deficit on broadened shoulder
Give and take
The take-away on legs too weak to stand
Complete control
You cannot lose what you never had
To violate
The trust that was never given to you
You are not anything
You're not my everything
I'm not your everything
I am not anything
To agree to disagree
It's all the same to me
Why continue to pretend
That this is all about to end?
Keep it all
On the inside where no one will ask
Conceal the tragedies
Behind a pretty little mask
A hideous
Grin all teeth and bone
Unable to
Leave the scab alone
Pick and pick and pick
And pick 'til it bleeds
Until there is
Nothing left on which to feed
To agree to disagree
It's all the same to me
Why continue to pretend
That this is all about to end?

Too Late
03:53

It's never too late
To try and cut and run again
It's never too late
To try and apologize
Again and again and again
It's never too late
It's never too late

Realization
03:45
|
|

Your voice echoes inside my head
Reverberations of a wasted past
Hollow truths spun inside your web of lies
It's a fu-u-u-ing wonder that I survived
Your cutting words carved such beautiful scars
Etching your memory with every shard
No refuge exists neither far nor near
You are the realization of my greatest fear
I love what you do to me
I love what you do to me
I love what you do to me
I love what you do for me
I hate what you did to me
I hate what you did to me
I hate what you did to me
I hate what you did to me
You shine a light that illuminates
The darkest fringes of my hate
You can't relate
But you push and push to see
What was never meant to be seen
The monster deep in me
The twisted darker side
My Jeckle-turned-to-Hyde
That has never been seen
That cannot be unseen
I've had about as much as I can take
I feel as if I am about to break
I've had about as much as I can take
I feel as if I am about to break

Hey, excuse me Mr. Preacher Man
Can you save me just like Jesus can?
Can you eat all of my sin?
Can you make me just like you again?
Hey there, Mr. Chemical
All soulless and mechanical
I've got a lot of pain for you to kill
Can you slip me another pill?
[CHORUS]
If I had a heart you would lead it astray
If I had a soul you would throw it away
If I had care you had not sold
But playing 'what if' is getting old
If I had a heart that fell to decay
If I had a soul I would piss it away
If I had a care I had not sold
I'd watch in terror as it unfolds
Hello, hi, Mr. Cellophane
Can you save me from myself again?
Keep me safe under lock and key
I tend to be my own worst enemy
Hey there, Mr. Superstar
Tell us again how lost we are
Tell us again what we must do
Tell us again how to be like you

I am the one that protects you
I am the one that perfects you
I am the one that keeps you
I am the only one...
You keep my eyes from seeing
You keep my heart from beating
You take every piece of me
And smash it down, down, down, down
You suck my every breath
You make me welcome death
You take every piece of me
And smash me down, down, down, down
I am the one that drinks your screams
I am the one that eats your dreams
I am everywhere
I am the only one...
You kill me
But you are my everything

When My World Went Away
05:43
|
|

I'm trying hard to let go
But I gave up everything
I'm just an empty has been
With nothing left within
I've traded something for nothing
Over and over again
I've been picked to the bone
I was finished before I began
When it all collapsed
And everything went gray
Could you still hear me screaming
When my world went away?
I'm trying not to lose hope
But I'm afraid it's a little late
I find it hard to keep breathing
When I'm left to suffocate
Try to stay above water
When I know I can't swim
Fight or flight doesn't cut it
When I know I can't win

Throw Me Away
03:35
|
|

Do you know what you do
Everytime that you
Take me by the heart
And throw me away?
Do you know the control
You possess over me
So go ahead
And throw me away
Everything that I had
Everything that I was
Tried real hard
But it wasn't enough
Then the cracks start to show
And the colors start to fade
Everything that we made
It all fell apart
Then you threw me out
As it all fades away
Then you threw me out
Just a distant memory
Then you threw me out
All gone and forgotten
Then you threw me out
And now I'm nothing
Here I am all alone
You are there worlds away
Where were you when
I needed you most
Everything that I was
Everything that I am
Negates the something we were
But now will never be
Because you threw me out
As it all fades away
Then you threw me out
Just a distant memory
Then you threw me out
All gone and forgotten
Because you threw me out
Now I'm nothing

Pieces of You
04:22
|
|
||
Fall through the looking glass
Backwards and through
Look through and beyond past
The pieces of you
Look through the broken glass
Its pieces missing
Reflecting the days gone past
In empty wishing
Look without within
To try to keep it in
Step to step right through
And look into
Teleportation to predict
A precise point in space and time
Time reverses for no one
So find your place closed eye, rewind

The Great Lie
03:43
|
|
||
You leave me with little reason
I'll gladly drink of your treason
The poison of your lips undo
Every little thing that I know is true
Rise rise above the lies
Somehow emerge none the wiser
Rise rise behind the eyes
The light of when I realize
The road's rash decision made
All whats and ifs and games you played
Please don't mind my questions asking
Rather I should send you packing
(I am the liar's tongue
Hiding in everyone
I have yet to come
This has not yet begun)
Rise rise above the lies
Somehow emerge none the wiser
Rise rise behind the eyes
The light of when I realize

I/O Grand Haven, Michigan
Although I/O is a side project for Dan Harvell, the man behind Null Factor, Harvell treats I/O as anything but a side project. I/O was born of adversity, as an outlet. Sort of a musical punching bag on which Harvell could release his aggression. And that is how I/O got its name. What was taken in was directed outward as music. Input / Output. I/O. ... more
