DESIRE TO DESTROY (D2D)
"3 Years" - Lyrics by: Michael D Smith Jr
From the upcoming album "3 Years"
i was there when you needed me
a thousand moments before
i trusted further than eyes could see
and yet you hungered for more
i couldn't breathe when that time had come
the truth was too much to bear
thought my resolve at one time was strong
but now i'm gasping for air
carried this burden for far too long
now it's time to say what i need to say
what time we had is forever gone
but i guess that's just the price that we pay
3 years it took me to get back up,
until my eyes could see, until i could believe in myself
and once i finally got off the ground,
though it cut like a knife, i went on with my life without you
i never asked you to act like you can't see
the scars i wear from the past
still you neglected to open up to me
though it was all that i asked
i felt the pain as it smothered me
over and over again
like the weight of the world came down on me
it felt like this would be the end
carried this burden for far too long
now it's time to say what i need to say
what time we had is forever gone
but i guess that's just the price that we pay
3 years it took me to get back up,
until my eyes could see, until i could believe in myself
and once i finally got off the ground,
though it cut like a knife, i went on with my life without you

DESIRE TO DESTROY (D2D)
"A Nightmare Away" - Lyrics by: Michael D Smith Jr
From the upcoming album "3 Years"
the air deathly still now
as i fall into this trance
my though, my perception
victims of this circumstance
thick smoke and mirrors
mask the source of this attack
my eyes now decieve me
as they shift from white to black
a nightmare away
from waking up feeling
these dreams i have saved
have lost all their meaning
so warped the reflection
of what once used to be
these glass walls imprison
antecedent entity
forsaken the balance
that sustains my sanity
abandoned awareness
i can't recall reality
a nightmare away
from waking up feeling
these dreams i have saved
have lost all their meaning
i lie here awake
and stare at the ceiling
and though i'm alone
i'll never stop dreaming
the air deathly still now
as i fall into this trance
my eyes now decieve me
as they shift from white to black
a nightmare away
from waking up feeling
these dreams i have saved
have lost all their meaning
i lie here awake
and stare at the ceiling
and though i'm alone
i'll never stop dreaming

DESIRE TO DESTROY (D2D)
"Baptism Under Fire" - Lyrics by: Michael D Smith Jr
From the upcoming album "3 Years"
we ask for it all
we say we won't fall
intentions are never astray
when you want it bad
you never look back
or light up ahead starts to fade
fade away
words get around
emotions come down
but never betray your belief
leave pride on the shelf
but believe in yourself
it's yours all alone to achieve
find that spirit trapped within
and fight until the final bell is rung
use that passion from inside you
brace yourself for now the storm has come
call on your strength
and all your desire
they'll pull you through in the end
through baptism under the fire
in death we strive
in life we thrive
call on your strength
and all your desire
they'll pull you through in the end
through baptism under the fire
call on your strength
and all your desire
they'll pull you through in the end
through baptism under the fire

DESIRE TO DESTROY (D2D)
"Eyes Burning White" - Lyrics by: Michael D Smith Jr
From the upcoming album "3 Years"
story's over turn the page
sacrifice in vain
curtains fall, i'm torn with rage
and still i scream your name
scream your name
numb to the pain
swallowed pride, a life denied
heart is frozen cold
memories of an arctic past
infiltrate my soul
as you grow cold
my fire unfolds
eyes burning white
as you walk away
it's time i slay the demons inside of me
and when you cry
nothing left to say
i hope this feels to you how it feels to me
story's over turn the page
sacrifice in vain
curtains fall, i'm torn with rage
and still i scream your name
scream your name
numb to the pain
eyes burning white
as you walk away
it's time i slay the demons inside of me
and when you cry
nothing left to say
i hope this feels to you how it feels to me
eyes burning white
as you walk away
it's time i slay the demons inside of me
and when you cry
nothing left to say
i hope this feels to you how it feels to me

DESIRE TO DESTROY (D2D)
"Motionless" - Lyrics by: Michael D Smith Jr
From the upcoming album "3 Years"
hope in today laid to waste
world dead and gone, destiny drawn
indulgence of self reigns our days
time peels away, direction remains the same
is there meeker existence than man?
is there greater a cause than life itself?
truth and ideals unclear
living lives blind, dressing in lies
and those who cant stand against fear
take solace to hear their judgement is drawing near
is there meeker existence than man?
is there greater a cause than life itself?
we stand motionless, our own enemy
we walk in the midst of insanity
gods would turn backs to our ways
or are gods there at all watching us fall?
salvation seems lightyears away
destined for death if we can't regain & sustain
is there meeker existence than man?
is there greater a cause than life itself?
is there anyone out there who hears these cries?
we stand motionless, our own enemy
we walk in the midst of insanity
all hope giving way to a new disease
our lies all that's left of humanity

DESIRE TO DESTROY (D2D)
"One Must Fall" - Lyrics by: Michael D Smith Jr
From the upcoming album "3 Years"
you hunger for mindless mayhem
you thirst for a senseless song
you yearn for words so empty
you'll get that for which you've longed
i don't care to hear your story
believe me i've heard them all
why fight for cause so callous
weak as the life you know?
why feed on soiled remnance?
you are what you eat in this world
i don't care to hear your story
believe me i've heard them all
i'm done with your heartless wanting
i know now that one must fall
surrender your shallow visions
your heart, once strong as stone
eroded and weathered by winds of the past
your fate is all your own
i don't care to hear your story
believe me i've heard them all
i'm done with your heartless wanting
i know now that one must fall
and still you believe in nothing
self-righteous and on your own
the road up ahead is changing
the road you shall walk alone

DESIRE TO DESTROY (D2D)
"The Words We Keep.. / Scream For More" - Lyrics by: Michael D Smith Jr
From the upcoming album "3 Years"
now the words that go unspoken
echo in my dreams
and a promise once unbroken
ripped at the seams
who were you to take my heart
and self-destruct?
no lies between us now
our time is up
those words behind your lips
i've heard them all before
i cannot live like this any longer
and still i scream for more
everyday a new disaster
hard to stay strong
played fool to mindless master
for far too long
to love and to be weakened
one in the same
we risk it all for passion
and who's to blame?
those words behind your lips
i've heard them all before
i cannot live like this any longer
and still i scream for more
inside your eyes
between those lies
those words behind your lips
i've heard them all before
i cannot live like this any longer
and still i scream for more

DESIRE TO DESTROY (D2D)
"Silence Waits" - Lyrics by: Michael D Smith Jr
From the upcoming album "3 Years"
veil these words from you
in silence there lies truth
and silence waits for you
i feel a stirring in my soul
as candle's flame with fainted glow
shed light on words i write as tears
fall as my cries upon deaf ears
i feel the weakness in my veins
and demons calling their refrain
ring through my head and tap my fears
subsided all these years
veil these words from you
in silence there lies truth
and silence waits for you
again that stirring in my soul
as candle's flame begins to grow
i shall not fear what brings me here
the truth revealed to me so clear
and my veins i feel the strength
the wisdom to forget your name
my courage guides me through the end
on no one i'll depend
veil these words from you
in silence there lies truth
and silence waits for you

DESIRE TO DESTROY (D2D)
"The Power, The Passion, The Fury" - Lyrics by: Michael D Smith Jr
From the upcoming album "3 Years"
strong in my decisions
my conviction shapes me to what i am
and i won't bend to your vision
this life is mine to live
my direction, my affection
not guided by your eyes
no conditions on my ambitions
the truth is mine to find
you've seen this dedication
vindication shown by this heart within
i remorse not deviation
from those who just give in
don't fuck with this devotion
my emotions running high
i will never, i will never
regret what i've done to forget you
and all of this fear
the answer was right there inside me
all of these years
strong in my decisions
my conviction shapes me to what i am
and i won't bend to your vision
this life is mine to live
don't fuck with this devotion
emotions running high
i will never, i will never
die..
or regret what i've done to forget you
and all of this fear
the answer was right there inside me
all of these years
the memories are there to remind me
forever it's real
the power, the passion, the fury
forever i'll feel

DESIRE TO DESTROY (D2D)
"Yesterday" - Lyrics by: Michael D Smith Jr
From the upcoming album "3 Years"
i felt disaster closing in
oceans of doubt i had to swim
drowned in the tide of yesterday
indifference haunted me
that storm of infidelity
like rain of consequence so deep
flooded the seeds you never sow
and i feel you should know
as you turned away
you burned the bridge of yesterday
the memories decay
as loneliness remains
and still you chose to hide within
your walls of hate so frail and thin
hostile and fragile you would grow
madness consumed your soul
and when these words i know you read
bring back the memory of me
regret within you starts to show
and still i hope you know
as you turned away
you burned the bridge of yesterday
the memories decay
as loneliness remains
forever lost with fear
this guilt awaits you in the mirror
for this you wasted years
and i will cry no tears
as you turned away
you burned the bridge of yesterday
the memories decay
as loneliness remains
forever lost with fear
this guilt awaits you in the mirror
for this you wasted years
and i will cry no tears
a murdered faith awaits
those who betray just for the taste
in yesterday you fear
and i will cry no tears
cry no tears
