1. Distortion
Colorblind
Reaching to the back of mind
Terrified
Shifting in and out of time
Fear overcoming my senses
Waiting is agony
Point of intensity increasing
Dreaming, forbidden anxiety
Screaming....distortion
Pressure builds, suffocate
Smothered by a feeling unable to control it
Magnify amplify
Smaller than a needle's eye
Pressure builds....distortion
Sickened mind, mirage or reality
Gonna break, I'm gonna break
Open mind, door closing fast on me
Gonna break, well I'm gonna break
Distortion
Blackness so cold
Unending descending transcending my soul
Distortion
Blackness so cold
Density crushing me
Weight of the world's distortion
Crazed stage, ill faze
Weight of the world's pain
Bow down, bow down, bow down to
Distortion
Punching through the other side
Paralyzed, kneeling, unable to control it
Petrified, nullified
Bigger than all space and time
Pressure builds....distortion
The pressure's getting to me
And I can't do much about it, you know?
Sometimes I just sit around the house
and I say to myself
Looking at these four walls
And I say "What the fuck am I alive for, huh?"
What am I alive for?
2. Hypnotized by the Rhythm
Pains incisions, severed in all eyes
Paralyzing vision, TV philosophy
Turn it on, it will turn you off
While the eye of you minds weakens
Dreaming
Laughing, crying
So on goes the picture denying
We watch hypnotized
Addicted to lies
What we see is electric disguise
I am hypnotized
Rhythm insane
Mechanical pulsating brain
Channels changing, nothing changing
Re-deranging, warping reality
Turn it off, it will turn you on
It's the drug of our time
Mesmerizing
Living Dying
So on goes the picture denying
We watch hypnotized
Addicted to lies
What we see is electric disguise
I am hypnotized
Hypnotized
Addicted to lies
What we see is electric disguise
We're all hypnotized
Hypnotized by the rhythm
Mechanical pulsating brain
3. Rape
Selection, perversion, infection
Violation, elevation, desecration
Bleed on me
I've taken all your trust in me
and thrown it away
Plead for me
I've stained your pride
But you still want me to stay
I'll pick you up and throw you down
Shove your face into the ground
I'll make you sick and make you crawl
Walk, run, fall
Rape
Bleed on me
Painless injection of apathy
Needing me
Comedy of the tragedy
I'll break you in and break you down
Watch you fade without a sound
I'll make you sick and make you crawl
Walk, run, fall
There's something real
I know you feel it
Do you feel it?
I have a secret
You must embrace it
You'll have to face it
I'll tell the truth
You know you like it
I know you'll love it
You know it's time
The seed was planted
Bleed on me....BITCH
Rape
Bleed on me
I've taken all your trust in me
and thrown it away
Plead for me
I've stained your pride
But you still want me to stay
I'll pick you up and throw you down
Shove your face into the ground
I'll make you sick and make you crawl
Walk, run, fall
Rape
4. No Reason
Don't explain to me your philosophy
Cause when you're cut you bleed the same as I do
Understand there is no understanding
Where I've been is who I am
Pain is real
Pain does not heal
Pain is what they make you feel
Do you feel it?
Go - Can you stop it?
No - Can you take it?
Go - Don't need no reason
No - Do you feel it?
Go - Can you stop it?
No - Don't need no reason
Now
Son of a bitch lying there
Knife in his back
Out of my face
The cause??
Don't need no reason
What's done is done
Don't need no reason
The cause??
5. Feed the Hand
Will the sun rise up in the morning?
Could you answer that for me my friend?
Should I even believe in tomorrow?
Who will answer that for me?
Who can I trust among the ones
who will say they're my kind?
Pulling me in, again and again
Holding me down just like the beginning
I told you my feelings the other night
You said I'm insane underneath your breath
I tried to explain that it's time to fight
You game me a million reasons
Why am I wrong?
Why am I lost?
Waving some flag for a cause, don't believe in
Eat their words
Understand
Live the life
Feed the hand
The blood, the blood
on the hands of the one who has covered the sun
The sun, falls to the sea
Look what we've done
It's done
Closing my eyes
I've seen all the lies
The lies
I told you my feelings the other night
You said I'm insane underneath your breath
I tried to explain that it's time to fight
You game me a million reasons
Why are you wrong?
Why are you lost?
Waving some flag for a cause, don't believe in
Eat their words
Understand
Live the life
Feed the hand
6. Wake Up!
Wake up
Peel the lids back from you eyes
Now take a look
Stand up
Spitting in the face of fear
Break out
now's the time to find your way
Alone you're stillborn
move on
Take your place in what will be
Rise up
From the ashes
Pull away, accept no silence
Wake up
Do it for humanity
They say that life's what you make of it
And we're to blame
Soon they'll all know that we're tired of it
It's time for change
Break off hostility
Expose obscenity
Unreal reality
Wake up humanity
Take on
Screaming in the
face of those who steal the world
Away from
Innocent unconscious prey
War's on
Take a chance
Pushing in renounce all bullshit
War's won
Only if we fight....fight!
They say that life's what you make of it
And we're to blame
Soon they'll all know that we're tired of it
It's time for change
Break off hostility
Expose obscenity
Unreal reality
Wake up humanity
Believe not a word from the damned
The skeptic and cynic must stand
Weary faith in their eyes
What we see are the lies
Demand justice, now justice
7. Mind's I
The trip begins again
I can't release the voices, never be the same
Silence is my friend...no more
Mind's "I"
I can't take anymore, choking on my apathy
Words that I say don't mean a damn thing to me
Someone else is in here, hiding
Pain is truth, the truth is painful
"I" the one in constant carnage
"I" the two behind the mask
Living in here within my consciousness
Awaken me from the voices of my obsession
Awaken me
"I" of mind's eye
"I" of the storm
The Trip begins again
"I" abandon you and who you are inside
A part of me apart from you
We are dust, the walls we've seen will fall
Forever
"I" of mind's eye
"I" of the storm
"I" the one beyond redemption
"I" the two without the mask
The world we see, the world we see
Has turned on you, on you, and me
The trip begins again
8. All That Is
Nobody says anything, man
The choke is on neck deep
Bring down the reign
Some people talk a good game
Only the strong play to win it
Play on my friend
Game of hypocrisy cheated me
End, end of all the false disharmony
It's killing me
If you're happy to be an ant in the sandbox
you're welcome to it
To this dog you're a flea
Bloodsucker mentality
Kick back and relax
Deny all the facts
Nobody says nothing
Man, nothing at
All that is isn't at all
All that is one day will fall
Make a point of the pointless
Never mind the unseen
Clouds fill your head
Blind without truth or dignity
Harsh reality
The truth will rise again
and they will fall against the truth
9. Undertaker
Face one another, dig to uncover
Under the veil, eyes of betrayal
Under taker, under taker
Drown in disorder
Silent explosion
Funeral for strangers
Under takers, over taking me
Under the cancer shell
Under taker please
Overtaking me
Give them a second chance
Hold my hand
and don't let go of it
Taste the pain and don't let go
is there still a place for me?
Just don't turn away
Face one another
Under taker, undertaker
Buried beside you
Strangers you once knew
Under the flowers
Under takers, overtaking me
Give them a second chance
Under the cancer shell
Under taker please
Overtaking me
Give them a second chance
10. 21st Century Schizoid Man (King Crimson cover)
Can't food iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door
Twenty-first century schizoid man
Blood racks barbed wire
Politician's funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty-first century schizoid man
Death seed blind man's greed
Poet's starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man
