1. Take This Life
It`s not so much the pain
It`s more the actual knife
Pretending the picture is perfect
I cut myself to sleep
I close my eyes for a second
And meet a fragile soul
I scream to hide that I`m lonely
The echo calls my name
If I ever, if I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see, make me be
Make me understand you're there for me
Take this life
I`m right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
The water drops just beg to hit me
Why now? Haven`t rained for days
No time to play hide and seek
I call upon you to take me on
Break down to pieces
Put me back, do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty shell
Burn my efforts in the end it means nothing
If I ever, if I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see, make me be
Make me understand you�re there for me
Take this life
I�m right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
These Thoughts...burned a hole in my heart
These Thoughts...what keeps me feeling
These Thoughts...burned a hole in my heart
These Thoughts...what keeps me feeling
If I ever, if I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see, make me be
Make me understand you�re there for me
Take this life
I�m right here
Stay awhile and breathe me in
2. Leeches
Leeches like leeches
Ignorance we trust
If you say this way
I will take that way
Fuel for the fire
on which I thrive
Spit me out
I�m glad I don�t belong
Save me the speech
I know you�ll be forgotten and gone
It burns
It rips
It hurts
Leeches
They preach to us
Words of wisdom from blocked minds
Spit me out
I�m glad I don�t belong
Save me the speech
I know you�ll be forgotten and gone
It burns
It rips
It hurts
They make you bleed your turn
The chance of a lifetime
How does it feel to be alive?
A tear for the poet
That can�t be heard
And praise the artist that steals
Spit me out
I�m glad I don�t belong
Save me the speech
I know you�ll be forgotten and gone
It burns
It rips
It hurts
They make you bleed your turn
The chance of a lifetime
How does it feel to be alive?
3. Reflect the Storm
Shot for shot
Let bullets penetrate me
Embrace me
Tell me stories of golden gods
The precision in your voice
Pierce the walls that I�ve built
Your eyes reach deep in me
Take a chance,
they won�t come much bigger than this
Dark star
Spend another day with me
A dead surface that doesn�t reflect
The storm underneath
Fake the dance
Bring me the calm
...and it leaves nothing
Expose the dark side
Aching and emotional
Expose the dark side
Impossible to tame
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
Throw yourself into the eye of Chaos
Infiltrate me
Sneak out before I awake
Take out the trash and burn it
Try to find a beautiful place to lay
These fragile bones of mine
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
4. Dead End
Save all your prayers
I think we�re lost today
There�s no morning after
No one�s around to blame
I�m not afraid to bleed
But I won�t do it for you
A star among hypocrites
The melody of our time
So say goodbye to the world
We�re the dead that walk the earth
Scream your lungs out
Wait for laughter
You don�t have to wait forever
Here�s the next disaster
What decides when you�ve lost a war
When the first man falls
Or when they�ve erased it all
We�re too numb to feel
The downfall starts right here
Hold your breath and swim
Swallowed by the life�s tear
In times of make believe
No one really seems to care
Maybe I should care less
�Cause I�ll die too
What will it take for us to realize
The more we provoke,
winter will come twice
5. Scream
We are ordinary people
We all live different lives
In the end we're pretty much the same
We�re just living in different lies
We just live in different lies,
we just live in different lies
They scream
You scream
I scream
We scream
But no one listens
Abuse to feel superior
Is it working for you?
We are ordinary people
in a world built on stress
When we build walls around us
We end up in a mess,
we end up in a mess
6. Come Clarity
Rushing through 30
Getting older every day by two
Drawing pictures of innocent times
Can you add colour inside these lines?
I want you to lead me
Take me somewhere
Just don�t want to live
In a dream one more day
Sure it would change my perspective
I�m certain I would change today
I�m certain it would change our ways
Would things fall into place?
7. Vacuum
The yesterday we loved
Speak of tomorrow,
The burden of man is
that time never takes a pause
We live from monday to sunday
But we forget what it means
Then a ghost comes to visit
and we tell stories from tabloids
Call all your friends
Watch fake photos
from a made up vacation
Speaking in tongues
about ancient artifacts
We steal from beggars
and ask for understanding
We lie rape steal and murder
to make tonights headlines
Trust the system
Make your contribution
Smile, applaud, love, hail
The weaker you get
The stronger they become
Listen in silence, hear her voice
How far are we ready to take this?
Listen in silence, hear her voice
Before it all crumbles
Lie rape steal and murder
Smile, applaud, love, hail
Gather in front of the tv
Exploding sympathy
The weatherman our trust
Our punctual company
8. Pacing Death's Trail
Compassion, confession
It�s all a compromise
Dedication, domination
Please define the lines
Irritation, innovation
Paired up to succeed
Totaliation, termination
Fake smiles and greed
Surrender to nothing
Or run, as far as you can
I�m trying to hold onto what I believe in,
but my heart is in a coma
Degression, attention
A need to be seen
Directed, disrespected
Stand in line to be thankful obscene
9. Crawl Through Knives
The black hole forever mine
I need the fear. Push me out
Be brave, show me signs
Should I feel shame for the questions that i have
If you could be the things I need
I�ll crawl through knives
An inch per tear
These knees, they bleed for you
Let the colour persuade the hate that you fear
Feed the lie, force the reason
Leave me in doubt
Need some motivation
It�s in my hands, the sky is so bright, it's burning
It�s for me to decide
If flames will reach heaven tonight
Nailed to the floor, paralysed
Emotions drifting
Touching the new
10. Versus Terminus
When all is said and done
We�ll know whats right whats wrong
But does it matter then when all is said and done
When all is dead and gone
We�ll know who lost, who won
But does it matter then when all is dead and gone?
See everything go
End of all things
The life that we know
Shift your point of view, you�ve been warned
This one way ticket is for you
When all the lights go out
We�ll know what life�s about
But does it matter then when all the lights go out?
When all the laughter dies
We�ll see nothingness and realize
But does it matter when all the laughter dies
11. Our Infinite Struggle
In a disaster story
a central conflict of primal rage
Usual sort of desperation
Characters remain the same
Never cut you out, I cut you in
Feeding on life leftovers
I am writing to you
You should realize it hurts in me too
Walk on broken glass
Is the pain safe at the end?
All the element in life�s complexity
Make our struggle infinite
12. Vanishing Light
Vanishing light
the end of a compromise
In fury, in rage
a dream will demenish
Behind enemy lines
learn to survive
Find way to clone
Make friends and a place to call home
Take a picture and jump before we crash
Take a picture and jump before we crash
Slide away, learn your ways
And fire when ready
It�s so sad
but pay no mind
This is a race to no man�s land
But who knows the direction
You�re on the easy route
Money up front?
There�s no doubt
13. Your Bedtime Story Is Scaring Everyone
Find time and play with innocence
like you ever would
I don�t see you make any sense
I guess you deliver misery
just like you should
9 o�clock,
And you paint the skies gray,
It ain't your fault,
We're the ones who betray
But how can you say it with such ease?
You want to take a stand,
or just please?
Your bedtime story is scaring everyone,
But you make me understand the evil that men do
