01. F(r)iend - Lyrics:
(But I think the most touching question is
Why did the world start?)
As they all felt the fire
They turned me into an outsider
I never heard from them again
So ironic when they called for a favor today
It's always easy to judge
But takes a lot to be specific
'Cause as you preach
You're opening the door to your egos past
There was a day when I could forget
I could forgive
But those days are gone
I see them fade
Filth
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day
I learned to mute the anger
I never thought I would be there again
A moment, a dead end
I lost myself in here
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day
I ran as I saw the end
Should I've joined the fight instead?
Hope you're listening
'Cause now times have changed
I take a look around
Say this moment's mine
Flee all the weak minds
Feel my missed hidden rage
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day
02. The Quiet Place - Lyrics:
Spanning, further deeper
I know you're out to try me
I'm not in this to be a slave
Push the dirt, make me feel
Locate what swallows life
Night bird to build my world
Then I close my eyes
And then I close my eyes
Judge me now
Used to be afraid
To let it show, bow down
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place
So much brighter from today
Drown the monster
Make all bad dreams go away
Whatever it takes
To keep running free
Open scars
The quiet place
The bridges fall to the ground
And you say you sacrificed
Then I close my eyes
And then I close my eyes
Judge me now
Used to be afraid
To let it show, bow down
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place
So much brighter from today
A king in my own mind
Judge me now
The king in my own mind
Judge me now
The king in my own mind
Judge me now
Used to be afraid
To let it show, bow down
A king in my own mind
Everything's in place
So much better from today
A king in my own mind
03. Dead Alone - Lyrics:
I will always belong to the shadow don't show me no results
I will never enter your heaven, make the most out of my dirty cell
Creeps infected by control that's what put me in here
Dig deep, don't think you ever get to the place where they buried me
The last glimpse that I have
Fragments pieces of some things valuable
Even though it doesn't make sense anymore
I release my last tear
My frustration, my conversation
Why are we even here?
The abuse that we use
I do not longer care, the cold worms and me
The dead light inside fuel to new seed
When there are only my bone's please put them in use
Want to be part of a new dawn, the darkness disappears
Don't release these chains never been closer to myself
All your mistake's run through as I realize what we become
The end is here to bid farewell
I'll turn into ash and hear them sing
Songs about my emotions dead and alone
Don't make an effort you don't know me anyway
My frustration, my conversation
Why are we even here?
The abuse that we use
I do not longer care, the cold worms and me
The dead light inside fuel to new seed
04. Touch Of Red - Lyrics:
Reaching depth of clarity
I'm not supposed to be like this
I should be on the top of the world
Is anybody out there like me?
I followed something's missing
Self control Forcing me down
Whispers consume the air
Above her I'm endless
When the rain comes falling
I'll freeze I'm so afraid
When things start to flood me
I will drown in seconds
Fear - There's no way out
Touch of red
Break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there's no way out
As If I ever had a choice
All in the hands of the energy
Once again feel the quicksand swallow me
Tonight = I won't struggle
Fear - There's no way out
Touch of red
Break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there's no way out
The weak in me should know I'm as sober as I could be
Fear - There's no way out
Touch of red
Break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there's no way out
05. Like You Better Dead - Lyrics:
I can be as angry as I want to be
Just watch me burn
I think you're way too cold
Just watch and learn
I'll never sleep here anymore
My house is not my home
I like you better dead
And I'm better off alone
Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow
Your vision may be in colour, but you look all pale
In these times we should be learning, but with you I'll always fail
Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow
I need to save myself before I drown
It took so long to see
The world your mind creates
It pushes me under
Destiny, will you cure me?
Trust, will you age with me?
Hear me scream
Destiny, will you cure me?
Hear me scream as I face tomorrow
06. My Sweet Shadow - Lyrics:
I'm selling heavenly sketches
A world out of my mind
Ready to explode in purity to fill the holes inside
An ever moving stream with glowing rays of light
Emotions tied to pass lies and I know I should let go
Tamed with confidence of a brighter future
I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
Another dawn collapses
Do I need to be reminded
A glimpse of my safe home
A path to hide all anger
I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out!
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
In circles I catch
A torch carried by the immortal
From depths that I created
In vain echoes fade
Burn out!
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
Fueled, these new shores burn, dark past lies cold
Shadow, my sweet shadow, to you I look no more
Fueled, Dark past lies cold
For you I look no more
07. Evil In A Closet - Lyrics:
We were one in words
You finished my sentence
I could never attract tomorrow
It pushes me aside
I sink in waters deep
Your presence kept me floating far from depths where secrets lie
Maybe in another lifetime I can be the first you meet
I once read a poem
Held my breath but that moment's gone
First time I felt life somewhat hurts
I need an option, a reason and some hope
Yell at me, I want to be your light that shines
But my ground is shaking, and I might fall
I wish that I could say, I wish that I could be your evil in a closet
Yell at me, I want to be your light that shines
But my ground is shaking and I might fall
I wish that I could say, I wish that I could be your evil in a closet
08. In Search For I - Lyrics:
It hurts to think
Can't get the sums together
Would you draw my bitterness
Make the pictures fade
Could it be that I see
What's beneath when we fall
The truth in ever
I'm scared that I will be
The sentence is light
But my eyes see a different world
And all I do is turn into flames
Will time open my vault
New solution, I'm begging
Break the fuse that holds me back
The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you The M
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me
Distract, push me in another direction
This wall that I stare into
It's getting old
Give me faith to reach for the new
Pull me apart and do me all over
I'll need a re-make
To make up for my mistakes
The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you The M
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me
What if I stop to care?
What if I let you fall?
What if I stop to care?
What if I let you fall?
The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you The M
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me
09. Borders And Shading - Lyrics:
You Took a knife and carve it in
Want to see your faults
As a part of your pretty skin
Everyone has a tragedy
I want you to wear yours in pain
Oblivion can no longer shade you
Reminded by the tattered tissue
Bleak silence
Errors stigmatized in you
A weak worn out friend
There's nothing left for me
Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice
You're so far, behind
Be my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way
I will crawl into your vault
Pass snakes and old rotten thoughts
Leaving a hotbed of virulence
Your world inside slowly redesigned
Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice
You're so far, behind
Be my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way
Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice
You're so far, behind
Be my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way
You're so far, behind
Be my hero
Drift away
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way
(Save yourself)
10. Superhero Of Computer Rage - Lyrics:
I am the past, Future
I've been chosen
You think it's over
But I'm ready to go
I am what you fear
I've been chosen
The world as you know it just died
It's the end of all time
I am a surprise
Even to myself I'm a genius
Superhero of the computer rage
In plastic I'll bury
I am what you fear
I've been chosen
The world as you know it just died
It's the end of all time
Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise I'll make you sure you that die in time
I am the maggot
In your infected life
No matter how hard you try
I'll leave without a scar
I am a legend
In your infotainment life
It's when I say "it's over"
It's you who's been chosen
Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise I'll make you sure that you die in time
Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise I'll make you sure that you
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
You can scream but there's no rescue
I promise I'll make you sure that you're dead
11. Dial 595-Escape - Lyrics:
Could it be a new day?
Fear in me so deep
You push me out, I feel far
The absence, close to me
The other side I crawl
You push me out, I fall
Heal my wounds, take everything away
You convocate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend
Testing higher mentality
I conquer myself through this
A furious path to walk
New space exists beyond
In silence I dwell displeased
Remain with the seed of unfulfilment
Heal my wounds, take everything away
You convocate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
Heal my wounds, take everything away
You convocate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend - I hide
12. Bottled - Lyrics:
I really don't have anything to say
Just pass me by
Don't ask me the same questions
Just deny I am there
Like the time around me
This room is filled with nothing
Fell awkward in a place with many
Leave this space to me
I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again
Still and breathless
I don't care what's behind
To you I look for energy
To catch my breath again
I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again
I'm in circles again
The world looks old to me
Tonight I drink myself sober
Soon this could be over
Tale a picture of the pale
New morning knocking
Feels just like always
Pen down my regrets
I reach to you again
I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again
I channel the pain through this
The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
No control, no reward
I'm in circles again
I'm in circles again
13. Discover Me Like Emptiness - Lyrics:
[Bonus Track]
I run this world alone
A song stuck in my mind...
Are you feeling alright?
Don't mind if you ask me once...
Discover me like emptiness...
A defense for a broken heart...
Still offers a smile to the world betrayed...
Always close to the drop...
Disappear with yesterday...
Cure this dream that makes me fall!
Blame me...
Escape me...
It was you who walked away!!
Tie me...
For my sake...
To the dream, that haunts you!
Could never stand the middle
Want to go far and further...
But something drags me down...
Shapes me...
Forms me... into dillusion...
Always close to the drop...
Disappear with yesterday...
Cure this dream that makes me fall!
Blame me...
Escape me...
It was you who walked away!!
Tie me...
For my sake...
To the dream, that haunts you!
As I bank other options
Make this picture distant...
Signing off...
Leave me alone!
I blur you into, the never!
Always close to the drop...
Disappear with yesterday...
Cure this dream that makes me fall!
Blame me...
Escape me...
It was you who walked away!!
Tie me...
For my sake...
To the dream, that haunts you!
