"Alternative Future" (1998 Single)
1. Fragile Dreams
2. Empty
3. Alternative 4
1. Fragile Dreams
"Tonight your soul sleeps,
but one day you will feel real pain,
maybe then you will see me as I am,
A fragile wreck on a storm of emotion"
Countless times I trusted you,
I let you back in,
Knowing... Yearning... you know
I should have run... but I stayed
Maybe I always knew,
My fragile dreams would be broken for you.
Today I introduced myself,
To my own feelings,
In silent agony, after all these years,
They spoke to me... after all these years
Maybe I always knew...
2. Empty
Empty vessel under the sun wipe the dust
from my face another morning black Sunday
coming down again empty vessel empty veins
empty bottle wish for rain that pain again
wash the blood off my face the pulse from
my brain and I feel that pain again
I'm looking over my shoulder 'cos millions
will whisper I'm killing myself again maybe
I'm dying faster but nothing ever last I
remember a night from my past when I was
stabbed in the back and its all coming
back and I feel that pain again
I abhor you I condemn you 'cos this pain
will never end you got away without a
scratch and now you're walking on a lucky
path I have to laugh but you'd better watch your back
there's pathetic opposition they're the
cause of my condition ill be coming back
for them I've a solution for this sad
situation nothing left but to kill myself
again because I'm so empty
3. Alternative 4
It's killing you, you're killing me,
I'm clinging on to my sanity,
All I need is a short term remedy,
Come and hide me from this terrible reality...
Dreaded memories flood back to me,
But there's still a wilful mind behind these cold,
psychotic eyes,
Now I tread this path so differently,
I've opened my mind and darkened my entire life.
I'll dance with the angels to celebrate the holocaust,
And far beyond my far gone pride,
Is knowing that we'll soon be gone,
Knowing that I'll soon be gone...
