1. Pressure
As the pressure grows and these feelings flow
trample on bodies, bodies in holes of faith
times I've asked the lord for forgiveness
while kept under a spell of a sweating locust's breath.
No need to tell me 'cos its written on your face
sliding down now with the black lights shining
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me
black as the night is day filled with no sympathy
marching down the hall for a misery
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me...
Mouth tastes of sick stomach twisting inside
everything's wrong and I can't get away
the gravity of fear you can feel it coming near
it's coming straight for you it'll twist and drag you down
I don't care where you go you won't get away from me...
2. Release
Seeing is believing but I don't want to know
walk on through the wasteland I just can't let go
face down I just break down when I see you cry all the
time (sometimesssssssss)
Hold on please hold on to me tempt fate release escape
Someone now is screaming as the flames fly high
think now that we're lost here and we don't know why
face down I just break down when I see you cry all the time
Hold on please hold on to me tempt fate release escape
Behind those grey and lonely eyes
unforgotten by time
reality is dawning
our spirit is awakening
and somewhere in the hurricane
hope is waiting
crying in the distance
and calling out your name
3. Looking Outside Inside
Is this the one who thought it was insane
coming down against it all
Didn't want it didn't need it didn't want it
Twisted face of fading beauty
count the cost of suffering
cannot see the day before you
only feel what's deep inside
try to change it makes no difference
Didn't want it didn't need it didn't want it
Let me go
Looking outside inside craving for something
hoping for anything - I'll believe in anything
who has eyes that see - who wants to believe?
in something, in anything? in one thing
in freedom - looking outside inside
set assist pandemonium - broken promises
died alive flying high - you caught me
in your eye. disintegrated insinerated
this is not now I want to be - too much is
coming through someone please tell me what to do
looking outside inside
4. Leave No Trace
Born to the glare of the senses
spoon the reality infused a new inherent
passive contentment
you are so easily amused
Here and now we
are gone in a happy
a dream in the
passage your time
chances are fading
this world isn't waiting
the moment is passing
you by
Questions lie beneath the surface
the fools are fooled once again
A concience
we stole our existence
and gladly cast it to the wind
Here and now we
are gone in a happy
a dream in the
passage your time
chances are fading
this world isn't waiting
the moment is passing
you by
5. Underworld
There's always something you would dare to say
your good intentions are boring take me away
if it keeps you sane then it's ok
if I play it safe would it save me
I'd like to get some rest now if I can just ignore the truth
scratching at the window this time I got to make a move
ego (inflammation) stand back and watch me...
dissolve all recognition
Burn this wait out of my mind
running through my veins until I dissapear
This feeling is over me
Climbing up the wall gonna creep between the cracks
..........................tie the ropearoundmyneck
destroy all emotionnnnn gona rip me face to shreds
cut my eyeballs open
Burn this wait out of my mind
running through ny veins until I dissapear
This feeling is over
meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
6. Barriers
Floating (inatankofhatredfuel) with nowhere to hide
unspoken (10000thousandthoughtsanhourandrising) twist back inside
How did we get here
Life don't belong here
Feel like I just never tried
to find a way back to the outside
it stops me from breathing
kills all the dreaming
TALKING TO YOU FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF A WALL
IN MY MIND AND IT'S CLEAR THAT YOU'RE NEAR TO ME.
THINK I FOUND A WAY TO UNDERSTAND WHY I COULDN'T SEE WHAT
WAS HAPPENING THE FEAR OVERCAME ME.TOOK A TRIP ON THE INSIDE
I TOOK A TRIP ON THE INSIDE I TRY TO HOLD ON 'TIL THIS FEELING
IS GONE.BREAK THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE NEED TO BREAK THROUGH
TO THE OTHER SIDE OF EVERYTHING...
I just can't lay down and die
it takes a lifetime to understand why
it seems that you need me
but you don't seem to hear me
Talking to you from the other side of a
wall...sickshitsickshitsickshitsickshitsickshitsick shit....
7. Panic
You know you ain't going nowhere you're stuck inside
while the mind is flying you said you'd help
me in the morning twisting on pins into my
eyes and we driving on the ceiling below
you... facin' up the walls with your crocked hands
while you're miles away I don't think at all
end up like this there's spiders on the
wall and they stink of piss dead heads
lying in the corner staring at me making me
feel BAD I put my hands up to my eyes
but the holes in my palms let me find a way
to corner you
I can't feel my chest because it ain't much
sucking through my skin into my BRAIN
oxygen pushing on the window cracks in the glass let it slip away
I start to cry and I keep on laughing
I close my eyes at what's left inside
and then i'll ran away
For all the time this land
for all the time in my hand
slip around
(...
...)
once again
Razor blades floating in the warm bath air bubbles in your veins turning
my hands black whispers coming from the next room
window cleaner keeps on SPYING I put my hands up
to my eyes but the HOLES in my PALMS let me find
a way to corner me twelve (12) hammer for
My breakfast slipping of the edge in catatonic
blood multiple decibel inscriptions trying all they
can in miles an hour ... face
grey and looming downwards
sniffing ALL THE TIME for a ounce
of silence screaming all the way numbers
counting down inside me
solar system thoughts circle
round my HEAD false teeth hanging
from the ceiling feet looking of the goms
of the 2nd son I eat
my hands cos my legs are crying you
BROKE my neck cause i
snapped my spine I wish you would
die away to all the time in this land
and all the time in my hands circle
round in depth found calmness
fall once again
8. A Fine Day To Exit
Long way from home
nowhere to go what made the river so cold
the sweat of thoughts trickle down my brow
soaking and stinging my eye
tell tale sighs and cries
of dreams unFULFILLED
and time is running DRY
PANIC stricken bloodshot hearts
TRY TO RESTART
but no longer build the well to survive
sweet oblivion
I got these feelings and I don't know why
I see all my fears in the darkness of light
WHAT MADE THE RIVER SO COLD?
never anyone to rearrange and fall to
time inside the EMPTY
call to the blameless I am faithless
placid dying eyes
you gotta face it head on so you can't turn this thing
around cos this ain't right you have to go eye to eye
raise your face to the sky cos this ain't
right I got to believe when I say only this is the way
9. Temporary Peace
Deep inside the silence
staring out upon the sea
the waves are washing over
half forgotten memory
Deep within the moment
laughter floats upon the breeze
rising and falling dying down within me
and I swear I never knew how it could be
and all this time all I had inside was what i
couldn't see
I swear I never knew
how it couldn't be
all the waves are
washing over all that hurts inside of me
Beyond this beautiful horizon
lies a dream for you and i
this tranquil scene is
still unbroken by the
rumours in the sky
but there's a storm
closing in voices
crying on the wind
the serenade is growing
colder breaks my soul
that tries to sing
and there's so many many
thoughts
when I try to go to sleep
but with you I start to feel
a sort of temporary peace
there's a drift in and out
