1. Trespass
You make me feel
Just how it’s real
You make me feel
Just how it’s real
You cast me out
You’re set to kill
I am a refugee
Save me from my past
Just tell me why
What I don’t understand
Try to look for the answer
It’s like I look in vain
You cast me out
You’re set to kill
I am a refugee
Save me from my past
Inner strife
Drains my sanity
Inner strife
Drains my sanity
You cast me out
You’re set to kill
I am a refugee
Save me from my past
Just tell me why
What I don’t understand
Try to look for the answer
It’s like I look in vain
You make me feel
Just how it’s real

2. Mass Conduct
Terminates your taste of freedom
It stays with you
You writhe
Seeking domination
I will conquer you
Stalking you every time
I will fill you with fear
My touch is so sincere
You will know it’s real
When it strikes you
I will fill you with fear
My touch is so sincere
You will know it’s real
When it strikes you
It’s all in the mind
Can you control it?
There will be no escape
When I sink into your mind
This eternal struggle
That infiltrates our minds
This eternal struggle
That infiltrates our minds
It’s all in the mind
Can you control it?
There will be no escape
When I sink into your mind
There will be no escape
When I sink into your mind
I will fill you with fear
My touch is so sincere
You will know it’s real
When it strikes you
I will fill you with fear
My touch is so sincere
You will know it’s real
When it strikes you
It’s all in the mind
Can you control it?
There will be no escape
When I sink into your mind
There will be no escape
When I sink into your mind
3. Cold
Did you feel the cold air
As it went by you
Frozen in motion
Paralyzed by thoughts
I refuse to let you pull me under
To climb your throne is
No intention of mine
I see you’re hollow
Your attempts to lead
Seems to be your kill
For what is left is just a shell
As for me you can all just go to hell
Life will teach you
Not as easy as that
I refuse to let you pull me under
To climb your throne is
No intention of mine
I see you’re hollow
Your attempts to lead
Seems to be your kill
For what is left is just a shell
As for me you can all just go to hell
Life will teach you
Not as easy as that
I watch you...
I watch you...
I refuse to let you pull me under
To climb your throne is
No intention of mine
I see you’re hollow
Your attempts to lead
Seems to be your kill
For what is left is just a shell
As for me you can all just go to hell
Life will teach you
Not as easy as that
As for me you can all just go to hell
Life will teach you
Not as easy as that
4. Credit
Cold – what do they think of you
You only talk to a selected few
That will be your compromise
Settling in
Like the whole world
Settling in
Is your next of kin
Settling in
Like the whole world
Is your next of kin
Asert yourself
As good as compliments
What are you gonna do?
What do they think of you?
Paranoia – your closest friend
You pray that they will be there for you
Confronting the fears
And as you stand up straight
You will be strong
I will crush you – confusing profile
Embrace the danger – I won’t look back
I will crush you – confusing profile
Embrace the danger – I won’t look back
Asert yourself
As good as compliments
What are you gonna do?
What do they think of you?
Paranoia – your closest friend
You pray that they will be there for you
Confronting the fears
And as you stand up straight
You will be strong
Settling in
Like the whole world
Settling in
Is your next of kin
Settling in
Like the whole world
Is your next of kin
I will crush you – confusing profile
Embrace the danger – I won’t look back
I will crush you – confusing profile
Embrace the danger – I won’t look back
Don’t confuse visibility
With credibility
Diminish you
It’s a total schism
5. Beyond
As I look down
Would I intervene
If given one more chance?
Frustration
All I didn’t achieve
Kept on holding back
Now I sit and stare
The distant life – I’m only soul
Outcome of life – afraid to fail
Issues running wild
Never coming back
In this tranquil place
I sit and stare
Was that really all?
Do I feel fulfilled?
Emptiness fills my soul
Sometimes I dread
Always to conform
To tesr a narrow mind
Always stuck to the worn
In this tranquil place
I sit and stare
Was that really all?
Do I feel fulfilled?
Emptiness fills my soul
With tears – I cry
Frustration
All I didn’t achieve
Kept on holding back
Now I sit and stare
In this tranquil place
I sit and stare
Was that really all?
Do I feel fulfilled?
Do I feel fulfilled...?
6. Falling
I fell from the black sky
With intentions to fulfill
Happiness, only temporary
No one is from the same black sky
These days of staring blindly
Helps me not to compromise
My emptiness
Seems to me to be so numbing
Don’t know right where to turn
I’m caved in by the hurt
Tears me apart
In apathy
Happiness, only temporary
No one is from the same black sky
I fell from the black sky
With intentions to fulfill
These days of staring blindly
Helps me not to compromise
Dedication always true
Only to be killed
Dedication always true
Only to be killed
Dedication always true
Only to be killed
7. Hidden Agenda
Will it ever let me go?
These feelings seem unreal
You say you’ll always be there
To rub the sand in my eyes
My life can seem so empty
It’s out of focus
It’s out of control
Show myself the darkness
I long to see a better day
But for real negativity I steal
Myself for you to conceal
Oh god, what a fake deal
I sit still, thinking to myself
Staying out of trouble
Trying not to hurt you
The decadence surrounding me
Burns my eyes and burns my soul
Why in all this fire
Can I feel so cold?
Is it really me?
Am I here for real...?
Is it really me?
Am I here for real...?
Will it ever let me go?
These feelings seem unreal
You say you’ll always be there
To rub the sand in my eyes
My life can seem so empty
It’s out of focus
It’s out of control
Show myself the darkness
I long to see a better day
But for real negativity I steal
To be in touch with you
I feel the embrace
Yet I feel so numb
Does anyone feel me?
The decadence surrounding me
Burns my eyes and burns my soul
Why in all this fire
Can I feel so cold?
Is it really me?
Am I here for real...?
Is it really me?
Am I here for real...?
Will it ever let me go?
These feelings seem unreal
You say you’ll always be there
To rub the sand in my eyes
My life can seem so empty
It’s out of focus
It’s out of control
Show myself the darkness
I long to see a better day
But for real negativity I steal
I sit still, thinking to myself
Staying out of trouble
Trying not to hurt you
The decadence surrounding me
Burns my eyes and burns my soul
Why in all this fire
Can I feel so cold?
Is it really me?
Am I here for real...?
Is it really me?
Am I here for real...?
8. A New Order
Searching for a break
A chance to see things clear
Distorted visions of life
Trying to break free
Feeling well
It all seems swell
In this melting pot
Of conformity
You all plea unity
Don’t stand out from the norm
Feeling well
It all seems swell
Searching for a break
A chance to see things clear
Distorted visions of life
Trying to break free
I want to be free
Be able to speak my mind
Don’t care about your norms
Want to give it my own form
Don’t care about your norms
Want to give it my own form
In this melting pot
Of conformity
You all plea unity
Don’t stand out from the norm
Feeling well
It all seems swell
Try to dictate a whole new order
Try to dictate a whole new order
Feeling well
It all seems swell
In this melting pot
Of conformity
You all plea unity
Don’t stand out from the norm
In this melting pot
Of conformity
You all plea unity
Don’t stand out from the norm
Try to dictate a whole new order
Try to dictate a whole new order
Convulsions
Convulsions
Convulsions
9. Stolen
I failed to summon up
The strength to push you off
You made me half the man
I could have been
From blow to blow I try to breathe
In a pit of my own filth
Don’t reckon it’s all over
You haven’t seen the last of me
You tried to fuck me over
But I’m still standing tall
You knew your time would come
If it’s true that time does heal
My clock is winding down
As I walk this earth
I hide the pain behind a grin
A mask of skin I no more care to hold
Face wears a ragged smile
Hands tired from clenching
A mask of skin I no more care to hold
A mask of skin I no more care to hold
From blow to blow I try to breathe
You tried to fuck me over
But I’m still standing tall
You knew your time would come
So what’s it gonna be?
So what do you want from me?
So what do you want from me?
10. In Pieces
When the hurt strikes you
You feel you’re gonna take the swing
You feel their lips are moving
Watchful eyes are watching
Don’t tell me what to do
You can’t top this
Fools – who are you kidding?
Attitudes a game
Incompetent, you think you know the drill
I’ll fucking drill – coming in for the kill
When the hurt strikes you
You feel you’re gonna take the swing
You feel their lips are moving
Watchful eyes are watching
Incompetent, you think you know the drill
I’ll fucking drill – coming in for the kill
Drill a hole in your fake facade
Time you measure up – can you feel it?
You’re knee deep into the shit
See right through you
I don’t see you holding out much longer
Soon it’s judgement day, you’ll be first in line
Incompetent, you think you know the drill
I’ll fucking drill – coming in for the kill
Drill a hole in your fake facade
Time you measure up – can you feel it?
When the hurt strikes you
You feel you’re gonna take the swing
You feel their lips are moving
Watchful eyes are watching
11. Ethnic Cleansing
What seems to be the question?
And when this question is asked
What is the answer?
What answer seems to be right?
A violation of human rights
Right on the border
You know this place ain’t right
External pressure
Continued slaughter of the innocent
Enhancing horror in the minds
It’s time to pay to stay alive
Just like a brutal machine
Wrecked is all confidence
It leaves a political mess
Wrecked is all confidence
It leaves a personal mess
Integration denied
Surreal, seeing no light
No light, no end of the tunnel
A tunnel that distorts the sight
Numbed by the endless fears
Understanding nullified
Who are they to steal the right
To decide that it’s a fatal fight
You stand before me
And what do I do
Your eyes seem so cold
Who made you god?
You stand before me
And what do I do
Your eyes seem so cold
Who made you god?
Wrecked is all confidence
It leaves a personal mess
Wrecked is all confidence
It leaves a personal mess
You stand before me
And what do I do
Your eyes seem so cold
Who made you god?
A violation of human rights
Right on the border
You know this place ain’t right
External pressure
Continued slaughter of the innocent
Enhancing horror in the minds
It’s time to pay to stay alive
Just like a brutal machine
Wrecked is all confidence
It leaves a personal mess
