1. Ghost in the Machine
See The skin on my Hands worn right down,
Down to the bone.
See The blood dripping
Down to the floor Bleeding for you.
I'll Work like a slave
Do as you want Bleeding for you.
There Is nothing left
A hollow shell
Ghost in the machine!
You take me for granted
You work me like a slave
But I can see your face
And I don't want to live that way.
Greed vice and corruption
The things For which you stand.
Fuck you and your reasons
They mean nothing to me.
I'll rise up against
Until it is Your hands that bleed.
You take me for granted
You work me like a slave
But I can see your face
And I don't want to live that way.
No more! No more! No more!
2. M.D.T.
Society breeds growing crowds of pointless masquerade,
Conformity a shallow lie that slowly starts to fade.
People strive for happiness; their efforts are contained,
In an illusion called reality, a prison for their pain.
I can only be myself; it's all I've to be.
There can be no-one else, no-one left but me.
You lie to seem like nothing's bad, a lie will make you strong.
Everything I ever thought turns out to be wrong.
The web you weave is so complex you start to lose yourself
I won't play your fucking games, my life's worth more than that.
Step inside a hollow mind, of twisted morals: no love, just hate.
Attraction rules, emotions are dead.
Play acting to fill the chasm that's left.
Cold and heartless, the mind moves on.
Another man falls, her lying has won
3. Bloody Memories
People holding hands
Couples part and meet,
Joy and laughter ring
Hiding black deceit.
Love eludes the grasp,
A mortified embrace.
Corroded by the Bloody memories of pain.
Life's cruel games
Drive shards like steel.
Are we doomed to walk alone?
Will the gashes never heal?
See her hot breath forming
Cloudlets in the air,
Dripping sweaty limbs
Silky long dark hair.
Disappears again,
Wraithlike to the night
Reaching out to hold
Bitter air and morning light.
Alone in a world
Of murderous fate,
Anger now is all that's true.
Heaven's lost, What can I do?
4. Depression
Crushed by the world in which I live,
They've taken my all and I have nothing to give.
The pressures upon me are far too great,
I'll struggle and fail, but I'll try not to hate.
The depths of my world are almost destroyed,
Like illusionary comforts that I once had enjoyed.
This pit in my gut is just sinking away
And this fucking disease, I just can't hold it at bay.
Give me a pint Give me a gun Give me a needle,
Give me someone that I can believe in
To stop this Depression! Depression! Depression!
Try as I might to fill my insides,
Everything's pale, they all look like lies.
Feeling so cold and alone in the dark,
I cry out for help, I can't even hark.
As the light starts to fade on this pathetic life,
Just one helping hand will seal out the strife.
The care from a friend will carry me through
The love that I seek, It leads me to you.
5. Epitaph
Cruel, cruel fate.
Why dost thou mock thy servant so?
When in my heart fledgling love
Dost earnest grow.
The boundaries of hate, and love,
Are too blurred to understand.
Where must I, a mortal man,
Go to see God's plan?
For happiness on earthly planes is but a hollow shade!
So easily brought crashing down to horrid angry flames.
And thou dost flaunt my stolen love
Before my very eyes.
And O, but fate, Malignant Hate:
Thine legacy arrives.
6. Hollowman
