1. Isolate
i'm sent for elimination
to where i cannot know, but i'm lost without a chance in hell
and i'm lost with doubts i can avoid this come feel the fire burn i'll slowly drift away
a victim of the future my mind and soul decayed
isolate
i'm sent for eradication
by whom i cannot know, but i'm lost without a chance in hell
i'm the last one out i can't avoid this
exposed to fire but i'll burn another way
a victim of the future i embrace the tourniquet
isolate
lead us all to pastures green
to search and learn
from ones i cannot be
lead us all to harmony
to search and learn
the one i cannot be
2. Erased
i don't owe anything
i don't owe anyone
shoot pride for all its worth
i don't belong
in a situation now
that i could not repair
i assert myself to sleep
show others that i've cared
how cold is this poor life
lay ashes at my grave
if it takes me away from you
a subtle gesture
i don't know anyone (cherish my religion)
i don't know anyone (faith is only fiction)
i don't know anyone (cherish my religion)
i don't know anyone (faith is only fiction)
this is erased i promise not a trace
this is erased i promise no delay not a trace
3. Two Worlds
the sense required is all too vague
within my faculties, building me
this awesome presence longs to see
the times i've fallen
the times i've failed
and i've never seen my hands
and i couldn't walk away
two worlds are the same tomorrow
still i must not complain
the sense acquired is all too grave
with less than one percent left in me
this awesome prison locked and sealed
for times i've borrowed, for times i've failed
and i've never seen my hands
and i couldn't walk away
two worlds are the same tomorrow
still i must not complain
and i've never seen my hands
and i couldn't walk away
two worlds are the same tomorrow
still i must not complain
and i've never heard a whisper
and i'd never speak of pain
two worlds are the same tomorrow
to all i seem inane
4. Pray Nightfall
in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head...
i hold on tight for this mortal ride
rest my head 'til the mornings coming down on me
i realise my own sacrifice
better rest my head before somebody's going out...
in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head...
pray nightfall release me
then i could wander, wander to deep sleep
awake despite, another mortal night
rest my head, for the sun is shining down on me
i realise try to synchronize
rest my head or somebody's going down
in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head this all is in my head this all is
in my head...
pray nightfall release me
then i could wander, wander to deep sleep
trying to make things work
trying to make things right
trying to make things work
without serendipity in my life.....
5. Primal
it's deep in the mind
so slick by design
i'll end up the same way maybe
don't hold on to pride
you'll lose if you try
you'll end up the same way someday
lord i'm on my way, don't let me down
lord i'm on my way, don't let me down
can't feel it inside
how long can it hide
you'll end up the same way maybe
redemption denied
as life passes by
i'll end up the same way someday
lord i'm on my way, don't let me down
lord i'm on my way, don't let me down
gets deeper inside
so strong the divide
i'll end up the same way maybe
don't loose an insight
abuse till you die
we'll all end the same way someday
lord i'm on my way, don't let me down
lord i'm on my way, don't let me down
6. Perfect Mask
i live behind the perfect mask
erase the rule forever
i live behind the perfect mask
unleash the truth forever
i live behind the perfect mask
too late gonna live at last
i live behind the perfect mask
too late gonna live at last
i live behind the perfect mask
erase the truth forever
i live behind the perfect mask
only the true endevour
help me....i dare say theres no other way
help me....i dare say theres no other way to go
wanton fallacy again
merciless until the end
recognise my heart is there
so reveal me and disgrace me
7. Mystify
faced with shame,
i accept a will that that's long departed
phased with games,
i resent a world i once regarded
but now it seems the changes must be made...
celebrate! terrify me
don't mystify your love
celebrate! terrify me
don't mystify your love
laced with shame,
i reject a thrill that's so misguided
faith in flames,
i'm exempt to blame that's so demanded
but now it seems that changes have been made.....
celebrate! terrify me
don't mystify your love
celebrate! terrify me
don't mystify your love
a simple lie brings you down, in an ordinary way
a simple lie brings you down, in an ordinary way
a simple lie....
8. No Celebration
take my hand,
hurray for the winters come...
cease my plans
excuse me from the scenes of old
i can meet you there? , i just don't care
on this new years day
with no celebration from me
understand
there's comfort with the wealth of gold
increase demands
release me from the scenes of old
i can't make it clear you just won't hear
on this new years day
there's no celebration from me
i could see you there? , we just don't care
on this new years day
without hesitation
there's no celebration from me
9. Self Obsessed
i'm self-obsessed
wrong words i said
it's clear that some things aren't worth really trying
so let it go, let it be
then we'll talk and i can
dream you're not here
persevere, i could live without this
the one you'd like to go
is taken much too slow
you're not impressed
wrong words i said
a mere subject of your self-indulgence
so let it go, let it be
shall we to talk about it
my misery is when you breathe
there's no doubt about it
10. Symbol of Life
all alone beside myself
all alone beside myself
and i've troubles on my mind
and i've reached the depths of life
and i hear that deaths alright
still i'll wait for you to try
when the dreams have been and gone
and the torment has begun
my emotions run
can't get by with what i've got
always dwell on what i've lost
just a loaded gun...
a symbol of my life, a symbol of my life
on the floor i crawl and writhe
as the day turns into night
i remove myself from sight
and i reached the depths alright
and i hear deaths part of life
still i wish that you would try
when a dream has been and gone
and the torment has begun
the rejections done
i get by with what i've got
always aware of what i've lost
just a loaded gun...
a symbol of my life, a symbol of my life
nothing more, nothing more to say to me
11. Channel for the Pain
i live all alone, i wonder why?
i live all alone, i wonder why?
see me shaking never making
all my life and there is no other way
'til i'm old enough and hit the ground,
never choose, because i'm here just to lose,
besides a win would just release,
and just maybe solve my minor problems
don't wanna seek, i wont make a demand,
cause i'm taking all the things
that prevent me from knowing the truth
don't wanna seek, i wont make a demand,
cause although my mind is breaking
my existence makes a channel for the pain
i live all alone, i wonder why?
i live all alone, i wonder why?
see me taking never giving all my life
and there is no other way
till im old enough and hit the ground
i only lose cause i never did choose and all the loneliness
that's there is just the core of all my problems
don't wanna seek, i wont make a demand,
cause im taking all the things
that prevent me from knowing the truth
don't wanna seek, i wont make a demand,
cause although my mind is breaking
my
12. Xavier (Dead Can Dance cover)
Fair Roseanna, your vagrancy's a familiar tale
Fraught with danger, the lives you led were judged profane
Hatred enfolds us
Inculcates the minds with its heresy
Laymen enfold us
Clemency arrives to set you free
Faith
Although Xavier has prayed
That life giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them all of their ways
These were the sins of Xaviers past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
Freedom so hard when we are all bound by laws
Etched in the seam of natures own hand
Unseen by all those who fail in their pursuit of faith
Although Xavier has prayed
That life giving waters may rain
Down on the souls of man
To cure them all of their ways
And as the night turns into day
Will the sun illuminate your way
Or will the nightmares come home to stay
Xavier's love lies in chains...
These were the sins of Xavier's past
Hung like jewels in the forest of veils
13. Small Town Boy (Bronski Beat's cover)
You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand why you had to leave
But the answers you seek will never be found at home
The love that you need will never be found at home
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Pushed around and kicked around always a lonely boy
You were the one that they'd talk about around town
As they put you down
As hard as they would try they'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them just to your soul
No you never cried to them just to your soul
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Cry, boy, cry
You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
