DISTORTED MIND LYRICS
"Thin Air and Empty Shadows" (2005 EP)
1. A Painting of Winter's Darkness
2. Frozen Reflections
3. Division of Past
1. A Painting of Winter's Darkness
Futile strikes, each for the rights
Proving a point for what we all fear
Deliver a gift, through air it shifts
Defeating the purpose and what we all hear
Ripping away, washing decay
Determines the future and what's to be done
Paving the path for a fragrant bloodbath
Smelling the death in what we've begun
Forming the hatred in shades of melting flesh
Destined for torture are those who could survive
Scanning the ruins, watching for signs of life
Befriend the reaper, for he is on your side
Casting them down on to the ground
Meeting the town. Bodies around
Destroying lives
Tearing the mothers from their child’s arms
Nothing to last. Take a look around
What you enjoy most - gone forever
Holy man - question my religion
Kill my people for not wanting your God
Millions are dying while praying to live
So why should we look to the lies?
Bending our souls. Conform to your beliefs
They'll shoot you down then burn your home
If you do not see the light
Rules to protect the weak, to destroy the strong
And condemn all those that think
Why must we bow down throughout these times
When your light turns to darkness
Fire. Escaping the hand of god
Pages of unspoken guides
Lies, lies, lies. Die inside
Live our lives in fear of the ones we trust
And we wash away in our sea of doubt
Stop spreading faith while I start to sketch
A PAINTING OF WINTER'S DARKNESS
Banish thee - Worthless preacher
Blocking you out. Out of our minds
In to the grave. Deeper with time
Draw the line For you and your kind
Say what you bring to us
Things we cannot trust
You defend all you cannot see
Then you condemn all we want to believe
Book of fiction. Your contradiction
Premonition. False religion
Stealing hopes and visions from the youthful
Descend down the staircase to our fate
Winding path. Troubled past
Friends of Jesus Christ
Savior of all your minds
Hypnotized. Dictate lives
Paint has now been dried
As the stained blood of all who’s died
In your wars of hate
Hang this painting high
As we wait to see the end of life
On Earth as we know it
Drill in to your brain
Hopes gone down the drain
Pointing all the blame
It will never be the same...
2. Frozen Reflections
Happened chance to see the truth
Fed the lies within our youth
Years of pain, these tears that rain
Distorted mind, distorted truth
Puddles dried so you can't see
Lifeless eyes present to thee
Watch myself daze through water's face
Replace my soul, replace me
Liquid former: Shadowed terror
So I venture in to my past
A utopia: My dream
Saw a vision to help myself
Drown me now
Sickness of my own...
Truth of all the lies of which you fed in to my mind
Save me from life
Recreate my past, which I now forget
...the times I would smile with no worries
Make me strong again
Stare in to my eyes. Feel the pain I've felt
Sense the hurt I have now that they have gone
Peering down to the river see myself playing
Younger version of myself; Was once happy and content
Why can’t I live again, since I’ve never hurt them?
Touching water, grabbing my reflection
Mold myself to my needs since I’ve been killing myself
Frigid air held the picture. Froze my perfect reflection
But, I wish to consume and establish all I used to be
Wish myself back to health; Respect for my own truth
Skipping stones. Scar my face.
Youth has died. As have I
I dream of passion no more... of this pain....
Embraced by the darkness of the past
Free my desire... I turn to death
Enslaved by the mistakes I’ve made in life
Life drifts away from me. Distance I can’t see
See what you’ve done....
Died for my future. Died for my past
Cannot rip away my pain’s embrace.... Eternity
Far away from here there’s a place I have yearned to go
Why I stay, I don’t know. Happiness has gone
Pain. War. Death. Society.
If I choose to stay, there’s a place I will not go
Why I stay, I don’t know. Happiness has gone
Pain. War. Death. Inside of me.
In the light I am fading. From the light, no escaping
To the dark I’m returning. In the dark I am hiding.
Had the chance to see the truth
Bled the blood throughout my youth
Through these ways, tormented days... I forever lost you
Eyes have lied so I can't see
Lifeless eyes a part of me
Gone from here, I disappear. Away from pain, away from fear
Found the truth to the lies I’ve been fed
Trust in one person now mends my soul
Break tradition from the past. Show myself I am worth it
Break the lies. Believe the words.
Trust in those you hold close.
In this life, I’ve been cold. Staring there at the ground
I have grabbed and consumed what have been my
FROZEN REFLECTIONS.
3. Division of Past
The tears, dripping from eyes,
The pain, consuming lies,
The life I lead just to please you
DIVISION OF the PAST,
Your hopes shall never last,
You view me in a light that's not meant for me
The person I've become,
Far from what you want,
It's time to leave my life to me
Not good enough,
Not living up,
To your standards
The person you think I really am,
Is nothing close to the truth at all,
You think you know what's best for me,
But I'm better off if you let me fall
Why can't you see you're holding me back,
Can't move on with life if you don't let me
My only solace is in waiting to be free,
To rid of the past, creating me,
In finding what it means to be,
Having an identity
No more dreams of black,
No more depression,
No more monarchy,
Awaken by the light
Seperation from the world at hand,
Moving on with my life's plan,
Expression of the mind,
A result of free will
No more giving in,
No more feeding lies,
No more molding me,
Into what i am
All that you put me through,
Nothing gained from it
All of your rotten ways,
I will forget
Time that you wasted,
Never coming back
Taking control of life,
Getting back on track
DIVISION OF the PAST,
Your hopes shall never last,
You view me in a light that's not meant for me
The person I've become,
Far from what you want,
It's time to leave my life to me
Not good enough,
Not living up,
To your standards
Life is not worth living in the past,
That's why I want to forget,
Choosing my own path to walk,
And never turning back
