1. Intro
2. Hope Hereafter
Too late to turn back the pages, too late to give it all up
Mistakes I’ve made I learnt from them but still I have
To find a way to cope with the aftermath, escape the wrath and the weight of loss
Perception’s blurred as I can’t recall serene hours
A sealed fate breeds a bloom of hatred I can’t control
Trapped in all-out negativity, is the battle already lost?
To part with my demons, don’t let them overcome
How could I reach this point of no-return?
Whenever all you can say
Is ‘Please forgive me’
I won’t hear you
I didn’t choose the easy way out and failed to fit your ideals
I may be dying with my dreams but I’m not faking my entire life
Looking back at the past, this plague… Irreversible damage was done
Maybe I’m losing more than I’ll gain, I can’t conceive another way of life
A sealed fate breeds a bloom of hatred I can’t control
Despite my attempts at breathing through, they’ll keep on choking me off
I could foresee them demons coming, I had been warned
How could I reach this point of no-return?
This path… My life… Astray? No matter if I have to pay the price.
3. Almost a Stranger
A dim lit hall lost in a complex of filthy buildings
Writings on the walls, warnings all around and the pungent stink of piss
A friendly presence at the door, waiting to drag me off the pavement
The face of treason, untruth incarnate, the plague and the loss
With a genuine smile, you faked the plot and pretended to be
A saviour
From my haven I can laugh and consider you
Almost a stranger
No sound flows, echoes like fainting blows
Of words spoken in distrust
Your disinterest hardly contained
Slice the tongue and rip the guts
Words of alienation
The best you can expect
Most sincere dreams weathered by time
Left me alone to face all those regrets
Forlorn endeavours
Another strife that shall never end
All hope has been going down
And no more concern for your life’s left
A faint glimmer of truce
Smashed in the blink of an eye
Lame attempt at reviving the pain
Your guilt is obvious to me
The confusion you’re shamming
Is just an alibi for not assuming
The fact you’ll always feel a deep urge
To lie and cheat all those who care
I won’t yield one more time, I just like to let you down this way
I won’t do you this favour, I enjoy ruining your day
4. Waste Game
Slowly emerging from a three years long slumber
Procrastinating would turn a life into void
Once again I had failed to dream and escape this cell
Locked-up in this brain, trying to find an answer
Pervert pleasures, deadly games
Pills contentment
Idleness driving insane
Emptiness, bliss
It took some guts to face the day instead of blaming fate
Still so random to accept responsibilities
The only solution
Find a way back to these times when life was a joke…
Cross the threshold
Another fight
To rid the remorse and erase the scars
Unless blood spills again
Another yearn for life
Slowly plunging down into a future unknown
Chances to rely on your system have been drowned
What can I hold on to? What’s utopian or vain?
Just keep me away from the stream that’s turning red.
5. Some Reason To Kill Me
Some reasons to hate me
Some reasons to blame me
Some reasons to break me
Some reasons to kill me
I believe in any thing
In any gods, in any laws
I’m not waiting for answers
To save my soul
I was born dead, but I’m still walking
Today I am a voice
Tomorrow, I’ll be the scream of a nation
No line on a map will stop my steps
No flag in the sky will drive me to cut my brother’s throat
I’m not the messiah
I can’t be falling down
I fight for my people
I’m not reclaiming the crown
The best for you is killing me
Before I lead revolution
No one can stop a drifting breed
'Cause, we are walking among the dead
