1. Thorn
will me in and take my hand
wishing i won’t take a stand
needing me to feed your desire
without you i’m not on fire????
The thing that you missed was the thorn in your eye
your lies burn my eyes
your hate lights the fire
(despite what you think)
the love touches my soul
the son is in my heart
this ego trip god shakes his head
what you’ve made will be your bed.
2. Real man in quicksand
i wish i was a rich man,
a genius or a leader
the man that i wanna be
should i get a real job
start a real life have a future
is this what i’m meant to be
but i’m a drifter
with a pipe dream
to live a full life
this is life to me
if i had a new car
and a big house
from a desk job
would this still be the real me
i’ve got a torn mind between my dreams
and what this world says i need to be
if i was a genius with a clear mind
and a good heart
things would be so clear
give me more cash and some success
maybe then i’d be a real man
with a real life and security
to make me smile again
till the sun sets
then i’d be a rich man
a dead man with a head stone
to tell the world
i was a real man.
3. Seven
wake this day, i feel the pain
crucified again
sleep this way, i feel the pain
crucified again
and i don’t wanna be fallen
i just walk away and wonder why
i still make you cry
selfish path i take
sinful wine i taste
i feel the pain
crucified again
desperate road i lead
giving in my every need
i feel the pain
crucified again
7 time seven times 7
i take the nails
and i take them to you.
4. Gravitation
she sits alone awake in bed
wishing that her pain was dead
she walks alone asleep in day
wishing that her life could fade away
needing a new day where fields are green
give her hope to find this dream
and people cast her down
she sinks into the underground
a lonesome start to each new day
she hopes one day god
will help her forget all this ache
she fights so hard to find new life
she’ll run towards the faintest light
don’t run.. you might fall
5. Ghost storm
stillness creeps before it
dryest earth screams for it
something shakes the ground
crack the sky with violent sounds
open up the dark clouds
pour new life into this dead one
sunshine comes again
spirit grows new life
6. Eclipse
7. Contort
girl - "please don't touch me, i'm afraid what i'll feel, if you love me,
you'll just walk out the door, sometimes i wish i could lay down and die"
voice - "first why don't you stand up and live"
dead skins breaks with nothing left alive
all i’ve got is my thin tortured bones and my..
clenched fist drawn in faced with my blood shot eyes
bleeding now is the sweat from the tears in my..
somewhere... where the lights meets the dark
somewhere... where the dreams stay so quiet
i hide from the one who contorts me inside
neck breaks falling down a hole of unending sleep
hurts to breathe in a nightmare of wake
a veil of smoke poisoning my blood and taste
gut convulsed spitting out all the consuming fire
watching waiting hoping gripping sinking
taking the slide down the dark
bending breaking hurting folding aching shouting
look for the easy way out.
Open wisdom insight standing walking running
to where i see light
somewhere... where the fear stays inside
somewhere... where the hope gives sight
i hide from the one who contorts me inside
somewhere.. where the sun breaks through night
somewhere.. where i am
i see what you’ve done and i break down and cry.
8. Deep blue
cool seas
sweet breeze
liquid that numbs
freezes my mind
sand between my toes
peering through the horizon
song from yesterday
dreams before today
forgetting who i wanted to be today
i believe i tried
now it’s late
nothing changed
oh the kiss of love makes me blind
someone’s there
i’m nowhere
facing haze
living daze
enter waves
i’m not safe
was over me
drowning me
deep blue sea
9. Insight
actions don’t always speak my heart
creeping weeds invade the dark
grinding world soaks my spark
shining cross lights my path
it’s ok, i’m still saved
it’s ok (when i) reach the grave.
10. Hidden Track
