1. Sharp
Just lie down here like everybody else I see
If I’m silent maybe no one will even notice me
Finally found a way to make them stop hating me
Tonight they lost this sharp things game they played with me
Long as I remember they played
All these evil games
Throwing toys and chairs and punches
Screaming all these awful names
A little boy seemed harmless
But I always did something wrong
And when I lost to them
Them losing to each other took so long
All these lights and people
Asking all these stupid things
They all know what really happened
But they wouldn’t do a thing
Talking about kids these days
What’s with the world today
I don’t care no more- all I know is
Tonight I just might sleep okay
They slept that night but I was just too sore
I tied their hands with tape and laid them on the floor
Told them all about this sharp things game we’d play
Now there’s this awful mess there where they lay
Only nine years old
But I know I’d done something right
They all ask me why I had so much trouble
Sleeping that night I said – we were playing dead
But I lost to them again
I woke up and moved, but they’re still playing
Look – I lost to all of them...
2. Logical Regression
3. Empty Space
Why is it now that all the shadows speak to me and know my name
I think it’s all inside my head- somehow I know it ain’t the same
Close my eyes and try to focus, but I can’t remember how
Light a candle in the dark, she whispers ‘We’re your friends now’
Pulling loose is running dry
Try to hide, wish I could fly
I feel like I’m going to die
I feel my skin crawl, I want to peel it away
I think my head’s going to explode any day
I wake up holding on to empty space
I close my eyes and I can still see that face
As the sun sets and I arise to find my whole world has changed
Look for who I used to be, but I don’t even know his name
I’m trying hard as I can to make a difference to myself
Just burn me now, I know I’ll end up in hell
Try to hide from eyes of ice
Pull me near, too weak to fight
I can’t take another night
I feel my skin crawl, I want to peel it away
I think my head’s going to explode any day
I wake up holding on to empty space
I close my eyes and I can still see that face
Am I insane, believing all these crazy things I’ve seen?
Where is the edge I’m supposed to fall off into nothing?
I turn around to face the shadows, and then I step through
Come out the other side, not me but something new
‘Want to die? You’re too strong
Think you’re alone? I guess you’re wrong
We’ve been with you all along
I feel my skin crawl, I want to peel it away
I think my head’s going to explode any day
I wake up holding on to empty space
I close my eyes and I can still see that face
4. Out of Time
5. Black and White
6. Steppin' Razor
7. Rather Burn
8. Unfair
Don’t try to tell me of a troubled life
I’m the one who’s been there
Don’t tell me about a family that doesn’t care
See it in my stare
Don’t tell me about the way of the world
I’ve seen it all first-hand,
If they'd done to you what they’ve done to me
You’d enjoy what I had planned,
When I approach I know you feel it
When our eyes meet, I know you see it
Don’t try to make me care,
Don’t try to tell me it’s unfair
When there’s no one outside your
Head who really cares
It’s so easy to pull inside
Until your feelings are no longer there
Cold compassion and frigid eyes
Are the only kind I know
Tonight, you’ll receive a lot more
Than the affection I tried to show
I tried to share my life with you
I tried to bring some warmth to you
I tried to make a difference to you
Now there’s only one thing to do
Got to make it happen to you
Too dark to see anything out here
Too far for anyone else to hear
Now’s your last chance, my dear
So turn around, and face your fear
With your covers cut away from you
With your protection torn away from you
I'm going to make a difference to you
Are you dumb enough to think I care?
Are you naïve enough to tell me it’s unfair?
9. The Descent into Madness
10. Black Gemini
11. Close My Eyes
