01. Stabbing The Drama - Lyrics:
My declaration hurts, just wanna stab it right now
Congratulations, you've found yourself
Been preaching too many times to an hysterical mind
So won't you fuckin' behave yourself
It's all in there, without despair
So you've saved your soul
It always depends who will deliver
Have you ever known
Such a beautiful mind that gives you shelter?
I'm waitin' for something to show
I might as well
Just drag me down so low
I'm down the drain and I've got nothing to fear
With a polluted mind
I had my share of losin'
Don't you ever cross that line?
So you've saved your soul?
It always depends who will deliver
Have you ever known
Such a beautiful mind that gives you shelter?
Break the record, in a second
Cherish your mental weapons
Watch the progress from an aspect
That's stabbing the drama inside
I'm waiting for something to show
I might as well
Just drag me down so low
I'm waiting for something to show
My punishment
For being down so low
I can't believe how it used to be
Selfish minds were abusin' me
Self pity and determined to crawl
Manipulation of a merciful, soul
I'm waiting for something to show
I might as well
Just drag me down so low
I'm waiting for something to show
My punishment
For being down so low
02. One With The Flies - Lyrics:
Now I'm one with the flies
Rising up as the creature cries
Sucking up, breathing stops
For the very last time
Can you see it, can you reach it
As it climbs to the top of your spine
Such a healer, can't believe it I'm left so far behind
Born to please, to release wide open and undefined
Crashing down in a velvet hall side by side
Narcotic injected, erotic respected
It suits your kind, 'cause you're one with the flies
Can you feel it, can you cease it
As it crawls to the top of your spine
Such a healer, self redeemer
I keep thinking that it seems like it's not fair
And choke with me, reach out 'cause it's killing me
Down! Bring down this sheer submission
Down! You know you have to bring it
Down! Deranged from a mind pollution
Down! Pitch black but unrefined
Such a healer, can't believe it
I keep thinking that it seems like it's not fair
And choke with me, reach out 'cause it's killing me
Down! Bring down this sheer submission
Down! You know you have to bring it
Down! Deranged from a mind pollution
Down!
Deceiver, believer, don't need you tonight
You've spilled enough blood, you've wasted my life
You know you have to bring it
Down! Bring down this sheer submission
Down! You know you have to bring it
Down! Deranged from a mind pollution
Down! And screw that common sense
Down! Fight back those limitations
Down! And screw that common sense
03. Weapon Of Vanity - Lyrics:
They play divine as immortal sons
Pulling triggers and then they switch and run
As long as you have nothing to add
They run the show
How! Can you get a single shot with a life like that?
Now! Will you ever conclude as it turns to a lack?
Deceivement, believe it do you feel it flow?
As a weapon of your vanity
They crave for a soul aching desire
(Won't you play with me?)
As time's standing still they've praised a liar
So now let me get a single minute of your precious time
So how do you feel now as the vanity is easy to find?
Deceivement, believe it can you feel it grow?
They crave for a soul aching desire
(Won't you play with me?)
As time's standing still they've praised a liar
I swear, you're nothing like me
And it will never set you free
You won't be able to be down there alone
They fill you up 'til you're ripped and torn
Your life is out there for disposal
Knocked out, before you're ready to leave
'Cause I swear, you're nothing like me
As I reckon you insanity
They crave for a soul aching desire
(Won't you play with me?)
As time's standing still they've praised a liar
They crave for a soul aching desire
(Won't you play with me?)
As time's standing still they've praised a liar
04. The Crestfallen - Lyrics:
Don't question any lies, there's no reason to find
Another trip to cause a denial
Yet you're stripped and your hope is gone
Another trap for you to fall into
You swallow every threat that comes to your mind, into your mind
A shadow just as dark as your past
Is leading your way through a web of desire
Healing all the wounds in your chest
Vengeance is rising
Can I ever resolve if it's a matter of do or die?
(Can I ever resolve?)
Can I ever resolve if it's a matter of time?
Just remember where have you spent your time
Can't respect all the tears you have cried
Just remember how you've changed your life
Can't trace your fate with a pitiful crime, pitiful crime
Don't question any lies, there's no reason to find
Another trip to cause a denial
Yet you're stripped and your hope is gone
Another trap for you to fall into
Can I ever resolve, if it's a matter of do or die?
Can I ever resolve, if it's a matter of time?
(Can I ever resolve?)
Just remember where have you spent your time
Can't respect all the tears you have cried
Just remember how you've changed your life
Can't trace your fate with a pitiful crime
There's no way that you can dig much deeper
If you think it's alright
Assorting the right from the wrong ones
That you have learned so well
(So well)
You're stuck, you can't remember
Your life is turning dim
You're trapped although you've been there
A thousand times before
You're stuck, you can't remember
Your life is turning dim
You're trapped although you've been there
A thousand times before
Crestfallen be thy name
Crestfallen be thy name
05. Nerve - Lyrics:
Call it liberation or frustration
As it hits like a bomb
Tearing you apart as you're first in line
Entering the zone
Watch how it runs
A nerve wrecking resistance
Watch how it burns
A venomous script's getting formed
You've traveled a long way to get here
And now its waking you up
Waking you up
Walk straight for a final solution
Walk straight, don't you be so cold
Walk straight with a clear resolution
I'll state my case and never turn
Watch how it runs, watch how it burns
And it's all a deception
Break it and learn, there's no return
For a presence like mine
You've traveled a long way to get here
It's getting all so clear now all the things at least
An elapse of conscious progress will last forevermore
My courageous insanity follows an infinite time
I'll be attaching the world on my shoulders
Without a look inside
Inside
Walk straight for a final solution
Walk straight, don't you be so cold
Walk straight with a clear resolution
I'll state my case and never turn
Walk straight for a final solution
Walk straight, don't you be so cold
Walk straight with a clear resolution
06. Stalemate - Lyrics:
Just pick one and make it all come through
Infiltrated and fucked up for years
And now it just suddenly turns to you in a second, in no time
Rise up, get up, stay up, fed up with the brand new sensation
I'll bring back what's mine
No, sense for sanity
No, sense for clarity
No, sense for dignity
Sense for dignity
Just ask and it's coming straight to you overrated and blinded by fear
Inspiration turns to dust as you've had your share
Rise up, get up, stay up, fed up with your illumination
I'll take back what's mine
No, sense for sanity
No, sense for clarity
No, sense for dignity
And I'll say
(Now give me your best shot)
Wait a lifetime to pull it off
And I'll say
(Is that all that you got?)
Wake up in no time to blow it off
No use for frustration, if you can't get through
And you think your pride will do to get to your spot
Rise up, get up, stay up, fed up with the brand new sensation
No, sense for sanity
No, sense for clarity
No, sense for dignity
Sense for dignity
Shut your mouth
No, sense for empathy
No, sense for sanity will stop you now
And I'll say
(Now give me your best shot)
Wait a lifetime to pull it off
And I'll say
(Is that all that you got?)
Wake up in no time to blow it off
Now give me your best shot
Now give me your best shot
Now give me your best shot
Now give me your best shot
Just pick one and make it all come through
Infiltrated and fucked up for years
And now it just suddenly turns to you in a second, in no time
Rise up, get up, stay up, fed up with the brand new sensation
Well I'll bring back what's mine, I'll take back what's mine
No, sense for sanity
No, sense for clarity
No, sense for dignity can shut your mouth
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
07. Distance - Lyrics:
Can you please remind me where the fuck I've been?
'Cause I can't find out you see, so return me to a vital place
From a distant observation, corrosion of emotions
Is how you block your state
From scratch to revelation
It's all been there, bleeding for someone to dare
Extension of deceptions, brings you to your final collapse
Am I really an exception?
Is that your only entertainment?
Spoiling your desire
To blow your minds on a one way track
From a distance!
Building knowledge out of flexible existence
Hunt for adrenaline is staggering, grand lack of emotions
You'll never face conclusions, you'll get what you want
Am I really an exception?
Is that your only entertainment?
Spoiling your desire
To blow your minds on a one way track
I tell you a lie and you make it a statement
Sleeping in denial
You're all wasting the time of your lives
Cold and crawling, you made it back
Fear is selling and you're one with the fact
Counting the days for rebirth
Lost once again and how it hurts
Is that your only entertainment?
Spoiling your desire
To blow your minds on a one way track
I tell you a lie and you make it a statement
Sleeping in denial
You're all having the time of your lives
Is that your only entertainment?
To blow your minds on a one way track
I tell you a lie and you make it a statement
You're all wasting the time of your lives
08. Observation Slave - Lyrics:
Find a piece of land, a million demands
And try to make it once again
A piece of land to make it a plan
Always trying to be one with the making
Waiting for a statement, how will I know?
It wasn't my engagement, the scars just grows
Such a slave and a sucker for observation
Just let it pass, no questions asked
Decide and try to find, a step behind
A shape that will assure you how
The essence is defined and takes no disguise
Don't wanna see yourself in no trouble
When it comes to an end
With my trust in hand
Please let me stand
With all my perception, I let myself wait
From all the infection that comes in my way like a swarm
Under pressure, too many times
I can barely fight it back
No intentions, no obsessions
That can change my mind
When it comes to an end
With my trust in hand
Please let me stand
With all my perception, I let myself wait
From all the infection that comes in my way
This is my life and I'm still amazed
I should have turned and walked all over
This is my life and I've now prevailed and reached my goal
This is my time 'cause it's all erased
This is my time and I'm turnin' to you
It makes me strive in a conscious way when I'm alone
Confusing directions were running my state
From all the infection that comes in my way
With all my perception I let myself wait
09. Fate In Motion - Lyrics:
I'm facing a trauma, it's crawling inside
Don't walk that line, don't take that ride
Conclusions will show me, the sweetest pain
Don't walk that line, don't take that ride
What I can see now, I don't want anyone else to see
It doesn't matter somehow, what it does to me
Feel how the journey's just begun
Heading for disaster
Formed through the night and it's all mine
The game is to easy, for me to just play
It steals the day, it steals the day
Dividing the image, in possible ways
It steals the day, it steals the day
And I can't move at all now
And I can't move at all now
What I can hear now, I don't want anyone else to hear
It doesn't matter somehow, what it does to me
Feel how the journey's just begun
Heading for disaster
Formed through the night and it's all mine
Feel how the journey's just begun
Heading for disaster
Formed through the night and it's all mine
Just pull me out, I have nothing to fear
In front of my eyes, never to leave
Just pull me out, I have nothing to fear
In front of my eyes, never to leave
What I can see now, I don't want anyone else to see
It doesn't matter somehow, what it does to me
What I can hear now, I don't want anyone else to hear
It doesn't matter somehow, what it does to me
10. Blind Eye Halo - Lyrics:
I came here to justify, such a thing would never cross your mind
Those scars that you wear, seem like they lie and they won't disappear
Once again you will cross that line, without reflection
Filthy and defined, information dead to the nation
B, manic
L, cynic
I, auto
N, matic
D
Pretentious, every detail is built to get you through
A universal looking glass
Information, dead to the nation
B, manic
L, cynic
I, auto
N, matic
D
What ever happened to you mind-fucking system
It's all so shattering, so battering to the core
Watch that halo grow, on an everlasting lane
Such a animated pleasure-dome, doomed to carry infected flames
B, manic
L, cynic
I, auto
N, matic
D
11. If Possible - Lyrics:
If possible just turn the page
When all you see remains the same
I wish I could blame
It on a face without a name
(Without a name)
In the center of the place, I hate
There's no escape that's what they say
That's what they say, I will never make
One single predictable mistake
(Without a name)
(I've vanished since the anger came)
Bitterness, sometimes the truth I swear
And I won't dread my time
(I won't leave today)
As long as I can take the words you stake
No matter how the hell I make
The desperation, go away
(Without a name)
(I've vanished since the anger came)
Bitterness, sometimes the truth I swear
And I won't dread my time
Meaningless and unsincere
Hold back those tears, rewind
Come to the point, with an illusion
It's there, but it's not a revolution
You'll bear what is not your responsibility
All that is left of what you used to be
Bitterness, truth I swear
And I won't dread my time
Meaningless and un-sincere
Hold back those tears, rewind
Hold back those tears, rewind
12. Wherever Thorns May Grow - Lyrics:
[Bonus Track]
I'm gaining trust for a lifetime
Wherever thorns may grow
Bleeding wounds turn to prosperity
With a distinguished revolt
Better not fail with a guideline
Rather not to die with any seconds denied
Shelter runs by for the final time
Just take a step outside
Just stab the reason an make it bleed
(Stab it and watch it bleed)
It's becoming one with the guilt that
You feel
Better take a look inside
Will you ever realize, the greatest effort ever known
Before you let the pain decide, run back
And you'll only find resurrection through it all
Better start to deal with your tension
Rather not fade as you've gone through it all
Shelter turns blank without redemption
You're destined to make the call
You think it's time to just give it away
(Giving it back as you've failed)
Reconsider the vibe as you forget
And forsake
Better take a look inside
Will you ever realize, the greatest effort ever known
Before you let the pain decide, run back
And you'll only find resurrection through it all
I've got my mind made up
Shock, denial, anger, acceptance
I'll watch those demons drop
For my presence, for my sake
Better take a look inside
Will you ever realize, the greatest effort ever known
Before you let the pain decide, run back
And you'll only find resurrection through it all
