1. My Silver
You can cover all your scars
Forget the past, or the future won't last
But don't think they could care less
Forget the past, or the future won't last
Nothing's what it seemed to be
Who's to blame, should I be free?
I'm just staring through the crowd again
All those cruel dreams
Tears on my silver
So painful's the scent of the tar
Now, can you prove me that there was no crime?
Cause this time I think I've crossed the line
I'm so lost, I think I'm breaking down again
How can your eyes still be sore?
Let go, give up, I know you'll survive
Can't you see the white ships leaving?
Let go, give up, I know you'll survive
Guess there was no yesterday
So how could I remember
And I keep staring through the crowd again
All those cruel dreams
Tears on my silver
So painful's the scent of the tar
Now, can you prove me that there was no crime?
Cause this time I think I've crossed the line
I'm so lost, I think I'm breaking down again
2. Birthmarks
Oh, I must be drowning...
I had the best paints
I had all that money can buy
Such a careful covering
That revealed only my strengths
They never saw my weakness
Till the raindrops washed away the crayon
All the writings of my street
Leaving me with my birthmarks
That's the only thing I wanted to lose
Birthmarks - It's vanity, it's vanity
Birthmarks - It's vanity, it's vanity
Birthmarks - It's vanity, drowning into my part
In the bottom, there's no way up
Lying in my agony
I hear the words: I told you so
I feel their despise
Face that used to be so friendly
Does not even recognize me
Finally start to see behind the scene
I can see it from their eyes
I finally start to realize
My true estate was just the disguise
Oh, I must be drowning...
How could I ignore all those castles on the shore
They remind me of the dreams that were torn
How could I rely on something so undefined
Useless were the years of the grind...
Reasons vanished into thin air
Joyful cheers turned into silence
Hand so pure and beautiful
Is now black corpse against the sky
And I wonder what's the use of these
Birthmarks,
Birthmarks,
Birthmarks, birthmarks
Birthmarks, birthmarks
Smiling at the foolish draft
I'm tearing off my skin graft
Leave it in the freezing night
For someone wretched to find
3. Bread and Circuses
Girl in rusted chains
Audience is waiting,
Expecting to be entertained
She fluffs out her feathers
Want you to know
That you have no place to go
You can judge, you can talk
But there can't be lasting changes
I leave my thoughts behind
And face the brightness
Bald head with golden curls
And eyes so empty...
You watch me stumble, you laugh into tears
Want to throw permanent paint on my face
Nothing's enough for my
Greedy and selfish friend today
Can you see those scars
Face behind the lightened bars
Can you see those eyes
I know you can see behind the smile
Have nothing to lose
And now you let her choose
Cause you know the mirror lies
You of all should know who's faking
Now who's faking?
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me how to make them crawl
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Tell me it was not my fault
I leave your thoughts behind
And face the darkness
My head is stained
And eyes so blind of crying
I see you crumble, it's not my concern
There's no respect left, no chance to return
You fall from the tightrope
But I have the net in my hands today
Long live the queen of justice
4. Blind Spot
You're so clever, you're so wise
Smart pretender in disguise
Living under the spell of blue glass eyes
Freedom is your only thrill
But there is no form to fill
You think you've won when Peter Pan is killed
Just read between the lines
Till there's nothing more to find
Being afraid has made you blind
Dive through the circle, it's spinning too slow
Just gather your strength and fall into unknown
Don't search for a way back
Drifting is the only way to grow
There's no proof for this physical distance
It's just a blind spot creating interference
You've gotta let go
Losing is the only way to keep
All your life you're just spinning this curtain
In front of you till you finally crush
I can see you, all your keys
But you just feel a little breeze
Play with me or I could make you freeze
Mariner of your nightmare
Is actually the one who cares
Follow him, don't let him see you're scared
Floating bubble on your door
Holds you still just like before
You think you've found the truth but the only freedom
You really see is your own prison
Forget about all the myths and dare
To believe in yourself, to believe in what you feel
Dive through the circle, it's spinning too slow
Just gather your strength and fall into unknown
Don't search for a way back
Drifting is the only way to grow
There's no proof for this physical distance
It's just a blind spot creating interference
You've gotta let go
Losing is the only way to keep
Let go and the waiting will be through
Don't be afraid, I'll be next to you
You can find the world beyond your dreams
If you're free...
5. Wreck
Grainy flashbacks, purple lightning
In my electric chair
I'm too frozen and paralyzed
To even try to escape
This is my electric chair
Tear me down, tear me down
Why am I still hanging on
Your blade is dull, but my string is so frail
That it's easy to cut it
I'm too jaded to even fake it
Tell me it's too late
It's all faded, could you break it
Before this turns into hate
This is my electric chair
Time is running out
Still you fill me with your shout
Time is running out
You have always tried to reach for something
More than there's to find
You softly lean against my pride
And whisper as I cry...
No, would you lie
Set me free, let me breathe
Don't want another try
Oh, could you lie
It's easier to leave
Than trying to believe
In something that never was
It's easier to stay
Than trying to find a way
On a road that might not exist
It's just a moment,
It's just a moment,
Would you risk your life?
6. Hide The Stars
I flee from the time
Lost in between awake and the dream
Avoiding the night
It seems to reveal too much memories
I'm dreaming - Bring the clouds to cover the sky
I'm dreaming - Bring the clouds to cover the sky
I'm dreaming - Bring the clouds to cover the sky
I'm dreaming - Hide the stars
Hide the stars - Cause you're not here
Be careful or you'll lose it
Don't let it disappear
This moment is too easy to destroy
It's so unclear...
It's hard not to care
When they say life is unfair
Fighting against the stream
I drown into these eyes
Oh, I'm running through my life
So afraid, so afraid...
Bring the clouds and hide the sky
Don't wanna see the stars tonight
Still tearing me apart inside
Oh, how I need your eyes tonight
To find the way out of this site
Dreaming, hide the stars
Hide the stars cause you're not here
7. Shadow
Sitting down in the gutter, I hate myself
Feeling small, trying to seem even smaller
The world is enormous so why should this matter
Just one shadow and still it's the biggest shame
On the edge of a breakdown
I reached my hand to my shadow
Got something to hold on to
And I opened my knots...
But there's no thrill in this struggle, it's useless
I lost a long time ago right when I started
But I'm invisible, I'm invincible
Just as long as the shadow is around me
I'm the ruler of myself...
In the shadows, in the shadows
In the shadows I'm ruling myself
[I kiss your arm, I can see your delight]
You're just a flattering snake
[Obey me or I'll have to shatter your wires]
I know I can be on my own
[I'll tell everyone how rotten you're inside]
There's still a reason to go on
[You can not leave me, I'll be part of your soul]
[Till the end of your time]
Is there someone to trust
For whom could I open my crust
Is there a place for me
Where I don't have to hide my needs
Shadows can't be seen in the dark
The dawn reveals my every inferiority
Turning, turning, turning around
I'm turning, turning, turning around again
I'm turning, turning around again
I'm turning, turning around...
Can you pull me under?
Can you hide my blunders?
There's no mercy on your face
When you challenge me to race
I need to learn not to cry
You think the only way to gain
Is to bravely face the pain
Cause the needles never lie
Turning, turning, turning around
I'm turning, turning, turning around again
I know the fight has just begun
All there's left's an endless run
But I'll go on towards the sun
And if I never leave the light
Maybe there's a chance to find
All that sacred and divine
Stop the childish hide and seek
Real perfection does not exist, no
Looking down I see my faithful follower
Others can leave me, but not my sister
Shadow behind me
Who knows me like she does
My guardian, only stability
Shadow appears if light meets life
It's a part of you from the beginning
It can be your power but keep it beneath
Cause the freedom can't see in the dark
Balance is the only true guide
You should never try to divide
There's no pure black and white
Honest innocence nor spite
Everything has the counter side
Shadow, shadow - You're watching me down in the
Shadow, shadow - You're watching me down in the
Shadow, shadow - You're watching me, I see you smile
8. Black Ice
Shivers down my spine
Something cold on my throat
Who's giving me these signs
Someone poisoned my wine
Don't you know how much I'm breaking
I'm not the only one mistaking
When I think that everything's alright
I slip again...
My fence is just a one big gate
Without the bars to hold the spate
For how long can I bear this weight
Until it falls down again?
Going 'round, can't slow down the rate
There's no way to keep this all concealed
My hands are bound, they won't hesitate
And I can't fight this feeling...
There's no sense in this mindless pretence
Tell me how could I start to live again
Where is the grin, feels like I'm only existing
Tell me how could I start to live again
Melt my black ice
And there won't be no lies
Melt me, don't break me
The shards can be fatal
Who's giving me these signs
Someone poisoned my wine
Don't you know how much I'm breaking
I'm not the only one mistaking
When I think that everything's alright
I slip again...
Weakness grows inside my wall
Been waiting for the final call
I can't bear this weight no more
It's getting too cold...
If you let me go I'll fall
I'm about to lose control
Wake me up before the play
Don't let me flow away
Sinking into an empty sea
I lay me down to sleep
No one to pray my soul to keep
This time I've gone too deep
Heal me, don't leave me
Believe me once more
Strange links surround me
Cradles and coffins
I feel the growing heat
Wake me up before the play
Don't let me flow away
Violent awakening
My black ice is breaking
The wind blows the grains of sand
Direction of the eyes
Revealing the whole device
The truth was inside the black ice
That you crushed under your hand
9. Mirage
Stain of red wine on your shirt
Bleeding palms, you've been hurt
You can't breathe without your crown
The floor is liquid, you will drown
The door is locked you can't escape
Behind the window floating shape
Screaming creatures silent face
Evil features empty space...
Come back...
Silent room full of whispers
I must be deaf
Empty walls full of pictures
I must be blind
I'm not burning the letter
Just erasing the nonsense
I'm not turning the page,
Cause it's still empty
Don't feel a thing, so this can't be true
You're just playing with my senses
You're not real, you're just a shape I drew
One of the millions...
There's no thread in this mindless case
But how could I withdraw
It's just my head that's lost in this haze
Catching the last straw
You saw me walking in my sleep
With a stroke of a pen it appeared
The same dream is repeating
Can't find a way out of this concrete maze
See your features in every face
I can't see the wound
It's just a shape you drew
Another illusion
Why should I ever feel
Pain nor misery
When there is an option
Now I know the cure
That's so white and pure
I'm floating in the calmness
Found the other side
Endless peace of mind
I'm finally walking in my sleep
I'm finally walking in my sleep
I never heard those words
Can't wake me up, the dream's so deep
I never heard those words
I'm finally walking in my sleep
I never heard those words
There is no truth, it's just belief
I never heard those words
My closed mouth full of words
I must be dumb
My hale body full of burns
I must be numb
I'm finally walking in my sleep
