1. All I Had (I Gave)
How long have I given all I've got?
Here I stand
My days and nights now are solitude
I struggle on
I've paid my price
All I had I gave
So much still lingers inside my head
I've lost it all
No trace of tolerance I can find
An empty heart
I've paid my price
All I had I gave
Save all that you feel for me
2. Existence Is Punishment
I gave my heart and soul to you my friend
You let me fall
If you could only see what's in my heart
You'd take my hand
I've lived this life as a man would do
Why's it so hard to find the truth?
My faith is strong within myself
I bleed of pride
Inside
I won't forgive
You can't take it back now
It's to hard to swallow
No words
No conviction
I've found the truth inside myself
But I am still doing time
Opened my eyes to what is real
This world is hard
It's cold
It's agony
3. The Only Factor
I want my share
of all that I've given to you
Take it, take it
Walk all over me
I'm putting that to an end
Right now
Think how you want
but I know I'm living the truth
Break it, break it
Get myself clean
and lose all this negative shit
I said
Never again, never again
Too hard
Giving myself the power
to make it all end
Take it, take it
Be my own man
stand up and never look back
Never
Through my suffering
indulging in all that I could
No lie
Keep myself clean
a fight that I know I can't quit
I said
I know that time will be
The only factor
4. Vacuum
Restrained by fear cannot face the world
No fall from grace
No smiling face only swollen fists
Focused on rage
These walls of pain closing in on me
Crushed by the weight
Love left behind I feel nothingness
Anger inflates
Indignation fills my every thought
Feel I can't cope
This house of glass I am trapped inside
Begging for stones
No black or whites I see only grey
This cycle turns
I see the end but cannot reach
My world it burns
Take me
Feel my pain
Feel me
Take my pain
5. Subversion
I feel it
It's nothing new
Depression
My life is through
To end it
I feel the need
Suspend it
My will I feed
I realize that you're now gone
I lie here awake 'til dawn
Don't stop me
Just let it end
Goodbye now
No love I'll send
6. Waiting in Silence
I'm trapped in darkness
Life is no more
Unending pain and agony
Waiting in Silence cold and alone
Must I live out death endlessly?
Take my sanity
Take it from me
Let me live to die again
I see myself through eyes of the past
They give me life eternally
Dreams of the living keep me alive
They are my blood
They set me free
7. High Rate Extinction
Reign over you another day
Take all I can
Slave to me there's no other way
Break all I can
Come and taste me
Stay and praise me
Take all I can while I burn you down
Weak man
Weak man
You know you never will be free
Come for you time after time and again
Crawl with me
Give me what I need from you
Don't question why
On your knees in front of me
Weak man
Weak man
8. I Have Failed
Rule me no more
I control my mind
I will not give myself to you again
Weakness is pain
Your strength is twisting me
I've never felt so helpless and alone
I have failed
Nowhere to turn
There's growth in pain I feel it
I pray to God it's not too late for me
Hard to believe on man could lose to such
All that I've lost can never be conceived
I have failed
9. Fixation (live)
Burning hunger to rid you from
my mind
You control me, the blind leading
the blind
You are poison but you numb all
my pain
Dying slowly, dying life that you
drain
My blood is toxic and my veins
burn for you
You are nothing but you´re all
that I do
You won´t break me
10. Odd Fellows Rest
Salvation
Soul searching for lost innocence
I feel it coming, coming in waves
Created my own world
The angels they carry me
It's such a long way home
11. Planets Collide
Swollen eyes that bleed for you
Cold steel bars I'm watching thru
You've been baptized in a lake of tears
Crucified yourself with your own fears
But you learn from what's killing you
And this time it's real
Beyond your prayers
Too numb to feel
Beyond your prayers
Deepest darkest thoughts you dream
Curing's harder than it seems
Slave to no one but your misery
Broken man lies where you used to be
Now watch the planets collide
12. ...and Suffer as One
Following your head might be a long, long road to nowhere
Don't dwell on the past
You've got to find the strength to lead you
Hear my words now
Suffer with me
Drown in despair
Set yourself free
Underneath your skin is there enough to keep you breathing?
I drew my own blood another life through this transfusion
Born again in time you're not alone in what you're feeling
13. Glass Full of Liquid Pain
I saw your future
Die in your hands
Glass full of liquid pain
Understand
Don't you buy everything
They try to sell you?
I've gone there again and again.
Find yourself gazing into the sun
New age of quarrel becoming one
Just know the light you see
Leads to eternity
I've gone there
Again and again
Just know the light
You see leads to eternity
I'll be there again and again
14. Buried Once Again
Look at me
Gone away my friend
Can't you see
Buried once again
Endless time
Reached the promised land
State of mind
Suffer by my hand
The end is still long, long way
Overdosed
On my own damn fears
Felt the most
Pain I've felt in years
Sacrificed
My own sanity
Lock the vice then come set me free
15. Dream Weaver
