1. Carve The Stone
I'M CALLING OFF THE SEARCH
ACCEPTING DEFEAT
TOO MANY PIECES ARE MISSING
THE JIG-SAW PUZZLE OF LIFE
IS INCOMPLETE
CARVE THE STONE
YOU'RE LOSING ME
I'M A RIDDLE
NEVER TO BE SOLVED
WHEN THE COLD SOIL
WELCOMES ME
TO REST MY BONES
PEACE WILL BE MINE
PREPARE THE COFFIN
DIG THE GRAVE
SOMEWHERE DESOLATE
I'M FACING THE END
WHERE I BEGUN...AND STAYED
- THE FURTHEST FROM GRACE
CARVE THE STONE
YOU'RE LOSING ME
DEATH HOLDS A SECRET
THAT I'M SOON TO KNOW
2. Once I Cared
DRAINED EMPTY
ALL FEELINGS ARE GONE
I'M DEPRIVED
OF ALL I TRIED TO KEEP
STRIPPED TO THE CORE
AND BENT OUT OF SHAPE
I'M TOSSED AROUND
IN A SPINNING WORLD
INDIFFERENT, I TAKE THE BLOWS
WHILE TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK
TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK...
INSIDE MY GAPPING WOUND
THEIR COLD FINGERS GRASP
FOR WHAT'S NOT THERE...ANYMORE
NOTHINGNESS ECHOES
IN THE VOID OF MY SOUL
LIFE OR DEATH...ONCE I CARED
INDIFFERENT, I TAKE THE BLOWS
WHILE TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK
3. Eclipsed
OVERLOADED WITH EMOTIONS
OF THE DARKEST KIND
IN MY SEE-THROUGH-SKIN
BREATHING THE THICK AIR
I MOAN AND SHIVER
THE MISANTHROPE SUPREME
INFESTS MY MIND AND SOUL
LIKE A CANCER
IT EATS ME FROM INSIDE
I WEAKEN - IT PROSPERS
MY SUFFERING
- ITS ONLY MISSION
WITH A TREMBLING VOICE
IT SPEAKS THROUGH ME
WITH WORDS SO FRIGHTENING
SELF DESTRUCTIVE IMPULSES
POISON MY EVERY THOUGHT
TOO WEAK TO OFFER
ANY RESISTANCE
I WILL DIE
AS I HAVE LIVED...ECLIPSED
LIFE IS MY PRISON
TO ESCAPE MEANS SUICIDE
4. Mental Turmoil
INNER CONFLICT
ME AGAINST MY THOUGHTS
I FOUGHT AND LOST
CHAOS REIGNS
MY MIND IS UNDER SIEGE
NOWHERE IS SAFE
INSIDE OF ME
- MY WORST ENEMY
STUCK IN A MENTAL TRAP
I LOST CONTROL
MY RAGING THOUGHTS
HATE AND DESPISE ME
NOTHING IN ME
WANTS ME ALIVE
I'D GIVE ALL MY BLOOD
FOR A MOMENT OF PEACE
STARING AT MY REFLECTION
AN IMAGE I DON'T RECOGNISE
I'M A STRANGER TO MYSELF
OPEN MY EYES
- TELL ME WHO I AM
TEAR ME OPEN
- SHOW ME WHAT'S INSIDE
IS THERE ANYTHING LEFT
OF WHAT WAS ME?
5. The Pointless Routine
APATHETIC AND NUMB
I SLUMBER THROUGH LIFE
WITH A STILLBORN AMBITION
I BARELY CARE TO BREATH
STAGNATED, I MERELY AGE
STUCK IN LIFE'S PATTERN
THE POINTLESS ROUTINE
PASSING TIME, DECAYING
IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS
THE DIFFERENCE FADES
FROM DUSK TO DUSK
ON, IT GOES
POINTLESS FROM THE START
AND UNTIL THE END
ALIVE OR DEAD?
COULD I EVEN TELL?
HOLDING MY BREATH
JUST TO MAKE SURE...
6. Delete
THAT WOULD BE ALL
THE FIASCO'S COMPLETE
ALL THAT COULD GO WRONG
HAS NOW GONE WRONG
FINDING MYSELF IN A WORLD
IN WHICH I, A WALKING DEFECT
COULD NEVER BELONG
WITH ALL OF MY STRENGTH
I TRIED TO ADAPT
BUT MY EVERY ACTION AND WORD
WERE MISUNDERSTOOD
MY ATTEMPT TO LEAD A LIFE
- A TRAGICOMIC FARCE
I'M FAILURE EMBODIED
A LIVING ARGUMENT
AGAINST REPRODUCTION
UNDO ALL I'VE DONE
I TAKE EVERYTHING BACK
DELETE ME
RESET AND FORGET
7. Burst
STOP PRETENDING
I SEE THROUGH YOUR DISGUISE
I SAW THE TEAR
AND I'VE SEEN THE SCARS
HIDING BEHIND A FALSE FACADE
YOU PUT ON THAT TWISTED SMILE
GIVE IT UP, EVERYONE KNOWS
DESPITE ALL YOU'VE GONE THROUGH
AND ALL THAT'S BEEN DONE TO YOU
YOUR TALE REMAINS UNTOLD
NEVER A WORD.....EVER
SILENT, YOU SUFFER
YOUR LIPS STAY SEALED
WHILE YOU'RE SCREAMING WITHIN
SUICIDE - YOUR WAY OUT?
THERE'S MORE TO LIFE
THAN YOU KNOW
IT OFFERS MORE THAN PAIN!
BURST - LEAVE NOTHING UNSAID
AND SURVIVE
8. Anticlimax
PAUSE LIFE
REVALUATION!
SUMMARISED IN ONE WORD
ANTICLIMAX
IS THIS ALL THERE IS?
SO THIS IS
WHAT PASSES FOR LIVING...
ALWAYS CUTTING LOSSES
EACH DAY, A NEW DEFEAT
FROM EXPECTATION
TO FRUSTRATION
A LIFE BELOW ZERO
- THE REWARD OF MY EFFORTS?
SO THE FUTURE WAS THIS...
A DISAPPOINTMENT
TO SAY THE LEAST
THEY LIED TO ME
LIFE HAS NO MEANING
9. Without Aim
WITH ALL MY VISIONS SHATTERED
I STRUGGLE TO JUSTIFY
MY OWN EXISTENCE
CHAFED BY TIME
MARKED BY ITS UGLY SCARS
I BURY THE LAST OF MY DREAMS
LIFE PASSES
OUT OF CONTROL
I'M DRIFTING
WITHOUT AIM
FOREVER HAVE I FALLEN
WHEN WILL I HIT BOTTOM?
MISPLACED AND ASTRAY
I DRIFT IN EVERY DIRECTION
BITTER
DISILLUSIONED
OLDER
THAT'S ALL I'VE BECOME
10. Discontinued
YOUR WORDS PIERCE MY HEART
I AM TRULY DOOMED
ENOUGH SAID
YOUR POINT HAS BEEN MADE
I CAN FEEL MY WORLD CAVING IN
LEAVE ME NOW
FIND YOUR PLACE
TONIGHT BELONGS
TO MY THOUGHTS
EXPERIENCING
THE LOGIC OF GRAVITY
DROPPED - I FALL
WHAT NOW?
WHY THIS?
ENTER, BITTERNESS
YOU BROKE
WHAT WAS LEFT
OF ME TO BREAK
IN THE WRECKS OF MY LIFE
SOLITUDE EMBRACES ME
WITH ITS DEATHLIKE SILENCE
IN YOUR HEART - SOMEONE ELSE?
WAS I NEVER "THE ONE"...?
11. Life Denied
ACCESS DENIED...
LIFE TURNED ME DOWN AGAIN
SO, FUCK IT ALL!
TO GO ON...LIKE THIS?
I THINK NOT!
I'VE PASSED THE POINT
OF NO RETURN
...FOR THE LAST TIME
ONE MORE SHOT?
MAYBE NEXT TIME?
GO BACK?
STAND LAST IN LINE?
NEVER AGAIN!
I'M WAY PAST THROUGH
I GAVE IT ALL I HAD...BUT NO!
LIFE DENIED
I AM, BUT LIVE NOT
SO, FUCK IT ALL!
I RESIGN
DO YOU READ ME?
BETWEEN THE LINES!
12. Evolution Reversed
FROM BAD TO WORSE...TO MAN
WE ARE THE END OF THE LINE
