1. Into Illusion
2. Killing What Can't Be Handled
3. My Closest Demon
In my head there are places I avoid
Too dark to see and too painful to feel
When i'm awake they are numb by my control
but when I close my eyes they arise
In this deafening silence
that pins me down
they're the thunder and the storm
that throws me to the ground
They arrive in the evening
along with the dark
Carrying the strength of a thousand
and the chaos of one
from deep within
where skeleton meets skin
and where I put aside
all that I deny
The fear and anxiety
that brings me to my knees
You're the thunder and the storm
that I could never seize
So strike me once again
with the claws of fever
For you are not my friend
You're my closest demon
In this definite silence
that pins me down
you're the thunder and the storm
that throws me to the ground
So pierce me one last time
with your tusk of fever
For you are not my friend
You're my closest demon
4. This Curse
5. No Place Darker
Waking up still weary
Fingers cold as snow
medicates my madness
This is getting old
Still numb
my eyes are open now
Distorted vision
Can't focus somehow
How long have I been here
within these pale white walls?
Drugged up and strapped to the bed
I am not a man I am nothing at all
There's no way down from here
despite the light there's no place darker
Without the dark i'd dissapear
for who am I without my fear?
I hear voices down the hall
A silent mumbling
and the warning sound of steps
echoes through the walls
Door opens
enter sweet madness
Inject your cure for my
artificial sadness
There's no way down from here
despite the light there's no place darker
Without the dark i'd dissapear
for who am I without my fear?
How long have I been here
in this chaos the world of mine
Force-fed with constant nightmares
Give me back my mind
There's no way down from here
despite the light there's no place darker
Without the dark i'd dissapear
for who am I without my fear?
There's noone here but me
a ghost of what I used to be
No god and no belief
in my place so dark
6. Standards of Rebellion
7. Indifferent
Why should I care what you do with
your ambition?
You're just a mark on the map of nothingness Why should I speak when
the truth's a contradiction?
When i no longer have the strength to trust in my own words
And so we go on one more day
in the name of apathy
We greet the dawn in the same old way cause we fit in perfectly
Don't ask me why I stay the same
I'm just a part of one big game
You're in denial of the beast that you
once shackled
the silent storm you believe you can defy
So let the word once again belong to
silence
And be a slave to a world you dare not understand
Our dreams collide with fate
courage turns to fear, fear to hate
hate to frustration
and cradle to grave
still we remain indifferent
8. The Skeleton Who Sold it's Skin
9. Vargavidderna
10. I, Enemy
11. Confinement
