1. Descent
2. In Your Head
The silhouettes upon the walls
The shadows of your mind
In the dark you hear them whisper
Words you left behind
The more you're trying to escape
The more you're caught up in the race
Can't make it stop!
In your head
You move in circles
You're running from yourself
In your head
You are encircled
You're trapped inside your shell
You cannot walk the empty streets
where memories remain
Once again you have to run
And all has been in vain
How can I open up your eyes
And make you see?
CHORUS
Wake up!
The more you struggle
The tighter you're bound
The more you hide
The easier you're found
CHORUS
Wake up!
3. Superimposed
Unbroken - are these chains
Unspoken - words that define me
Forgotten - they remain
Like rotten - flesh that confines me
Another moment ties me down
Forever anchored underground
Caught up in the masquerade
These layered illusions
There's always something underneath
Abusive - is this grip
Intrusive - claws that embrace me
Remembered - as I slip
Dismembered - thoughts that disgrace me
Abandoned ghosts I left behind
Forever there to haunt my mind
CHORUS
Every moment - Superimposed
Every second - Superimposed
CHORUS
4. Soulman
Walked in a haze
down this dead end street
Followed the stream of marching feet
With the feeling of living inbetween
I saw what passed me -
what wasn't meant to be seen
There's a hell on - earth today
And the soulman wants you to pay
He gave you pleasures - he got you high
But his dreams are the nightmares
that make you cry
And I saw you crumbling
as the burden grew
And I heard you scream
when the payment was due
Instant pleasures with a lasting cost
Cause the soulmans gain -
will always be your loss
CHORUS
What only one eye sees
Is so hard to believe
What only one eye sees...
CHORUS
5. Freak Like You
Does it make sense to you
to carry around - the pain of a lifetime?
To feed it like you do?
How come you trust your enemy
to shelter your soul - and build your defences?
Like that would set you free?
And it breaks me - overtakes me
and I can't look in to your eyes
My reflection - a rejection
When I know we're telling lies
I feel like you
Crawling
A creep like you
I scream like you
Falling
A freak like you
And when you try to drown
the sorrow and pain - just under the surface
it only pulls you down
I see it through your smile
the flesh and the bone - that shapes your denial Hidden but alive
And it breaks me - overtakes me
and I can't look in to your eyes
My reflection - a rejection
When I know we're telling lies
CHORUS
In denial
So unsafe
You know we can't continue
to pretend
In denial
We're unsafe
'Cause the pain would shurely
be the end
6. Mirror
Did you think they'd love you
If you played it really cool?
When all they ever want
Is another fool?
And you may catch their eyes
But attention isn't love
And it will never be
Quite good enough
That I see you doesn't mean
I have to like what I see
When narcissism compensates
for your lack of self esteem
You don't exist
You are not real
Unless there's someone watching
You are too blind
To see yourself
Except through someone else's eyes
But the mirror always lies
And you have framed yourself
Cornered by their TV smiles
'Cause what you really want
Is to believe the lies
Fame is a fucking whore
and she's gonna make you pay
And you know she'll raise the stakes
if you wanna make her stay
CHORUS
Can you tell the image from the object?
25 frames a second is not reality
CHORUS
7. Waiting For The Kill
We want the close up shots
Of hate and pain
We want the perfect cuts
To slice your veins
We are watching
We are waiting
We are watching
We are...
Waiting for the kill
Turn - it - on
Waiting for the kill
Bring - it - on
We wanna watch you bleed
Live on air
The only thing that makes us feel
Just like we care
We are watching
We are waiting
We are watching
We are...
Waiting for the kill
Turn - it - on
Waiting for the kill
Bring - it - on
8. Paper God
Born from the lies
Raised as a fake
An intended mistake
Safe in your make believe
The faith in your eyes
Is hardened to stone
Cold to the bone
Unable to recieve
And it's not god that's in your heart
just an ink and paper golden calf
I don't need your crucifixion
Need no martyrdom
I don't need the contradictions
Of your paper god
The self righteous talk
That spills from your mouth
In denial of doubt
Is just wrappings to hide your face
You speak about love
But it sounds like hate
And it feels like a rape
Revealing your masquerade
How strange that you condemn me for a vice
That you say awaits you in paradise
I don't need your absolution
Need no kingdom come
I don't fear the retribution
Of your paper god
Say your prayers and you are saved
Free from responsibility
Halleluhja, I'm depraved
Cause I don't bow to your hypocricy
CHORUS
9. Hate Me
There's a battle going on
A war is waged
Can you feel it growing strong?
Can you feel the rage?
It's your fear of defeat
That keeps you in retreat
You let yourself be victimized
To justify the fight
And we are running out of lies
Don't you see there's nothing left to do?
Don't you see that I would come to hate you?
Don't you see that you would hate me too?
'Let the truth into your mind
Discard the lies
Take the vision to the blind
Open up your eyes
It's a no win situation
A fucked up complication
It's a curse in disguise
All dressed in lies
And we are running out of time
CHORUS
Don't you see that you and I are through?
Don't you see that I would come to hate you?
Don't you see that you would hate me too?
10. Anatomy of Hate
So you think it's justified
to speak your lies and to bend the truth
as long as it's not you
who's sacrificed?
When you define yourself
In opposition to the world
No matter who you hurt
You can go to hell
You always got somebody else to blame
You're always ready to deny
But I'm following the trail of pain
You have no alibi
I am the blade
Dissecting the beast behind your face
From fist to brain
I follow the anatomy of hate
So you call it unity
to feed the scapegoats to the hounds
to gain your ground
with cruelty?
'Cause it's simpler just to hate
It's easier to label and define
all humankind
by shape and shade
It's always someone else's bloody hands
That act upon your words
CHORUS
But it's not funny when it hurts
when it's your face that's in the dirt
'Cause you can't take your own medicine
and there's no cure for stupidity
So fuck you!
CHORUS
11. Neverminded
Never hear
Never see
Never know
Never feel
Never mind
Do nothing
There's no oxygen left
In this vacuum life
So I'm breathing through straws
Just trying to survive
You have forsaken
Everything that makes demands
Out of sight is out of mind
And it's out of your hands
And everything is a cliché
Mass produced
And it's trying to kill me
Like it's killing you
Speak not
No
Say nothing
Safe in silence
Act not
No
Do nothing
Neverminded
With automated smiles
You seal my coffin shut
You turn out the lights
And leave me here to rot
Kept within this morgue
That you have drained of air
So no one hears my screams
As if someone would care
And this is a cliché
Mass produced
Someday it will kill me
Like it's killing you
CHORUS
It's a nightmare scenario
Of paralysis and death
Buried alive and petrified
It empties out my head
It's a
12. Ghost
The dogs are running in the halls
Too near me
Soon they're breaking through my walls
They hear me
The snarling and howling
Of ten thousand throats
A promise in growling
The bite is their oath
She's in the corner of my eye
Too present
A chilling touch from far behind
Indecent
The kiss of the wasted
An unholy mark
Those lips I have tasted
Alone in the dark
There is no conclusion
There is no solution
And the answer's never what it seems
There is no resistance
In this fake existence
And this sin will never be redeemed
Inbetween
They've come to feed upon the life
Within me
They'll creep inside this empty hide
Unskin me
The shadows awaken
As my eyes are closed
I'm their's for the taking
No more than a ghost
CHORUS
A hollow frame - unburied pain
The ghost of me is what remains
The one I've been - the things I've seen
All fades away
inbetween
CHORUS
13. Ascent
