1. Adult Cinema
Now showing for your viewing pleasure
To be insecure but how to endure
Why would you want be anything like me?
Is this how we choose to live our lives?
Feeding off others pain just to survive
I've given you a perfect view consider this my very special gift to you
Here's your ticket & a front row seat to my misery as you watch me like
You watch the sliver screen
I could be your scapegoat & I could be your martyr
Anything you want of me but it just gets harder
You take me break me hold me choke me mold & control me
The same words repeating myself the same energy depleting itself
One this will all be over & no one will be left to recover
& you will find that I am human
So use to being empty with no one to comfort me
I'll let you see at my own expense
After all enjoying your own pain wouldn't make much sense
I've given you a perfect view consider this my very special gift to you
Look away this is hurting me you'll only end up deserting me
Look away my life can't save you I'll only end up depraving you
Look away
2. Remission
This is the last day the last day that I sway
No longer will you dictate what I do or say
I've taken a leave of absence
I've taken a leave of the senses
& there's nothing in the world that could change this
Life is diminished
I'm leaving you & everything I knew
Tomorrow only leads to more sorrow
But I don't care pretend your unaware
I was never there
No one cries more than I take my life but scare to die
I feel so incomplete everything is way beyond me
Watching my life go by standing on the sideline
I'm leaving you & everything I knew everything is you
I'm leaving you & everything I knew
Tomorrow only leads to more sorrow
But I don't care pretend your unaware
I was never there
Standing on the sideline where I've been left behind
Standing on the sideline waiting for the right time (life goes by)
3. The Word Made Flesh
Intensify the pain as I speak these words
So personal to me do I make things ten times worse
Throwing all sense of caution to the wind
The next tragedy will begin where this one ends
With everything that's happened & I allowed
If I held this all inside I'd be dead by now
Reality dawns & ends the world of make believe
Suffering silently is done for my day has come
I die every time I say these words that kill something in you
The word made flesh the word is flesh
With everything that's happened & you know that I allowed
I let this out & it all affects you some how
Reality dawns & ends the world of make believe
I've only said what I felt to play the hand that I was dealt
So I'm unstable but my cards are here on the table
Suffering silently is done for my time has come
Breaking my bones this friction this is like a sick addiction
I refuse to place the blame but whoever you are go back from where you came
Screaming voices in my head words never to be heard
Suffering silently is done for my time has come
4. Line Of Fire
What's done I can't undo but I would die for you
I got involved in something I never meant to
But it wasn't something I could easily undo
I can't move & I can't breathe in this box of apathy
This complicated everything I've ever hated
How do I defend the position that I find myself in
No use in choosing sides cause no one will ever win
In no time quickly this will travel
Just in time to see your life unravel
I pushed you over pushed you aside left with no one in whom I could confide
I never meant to push you (away)
What's done I can't undo but I would die for you
I got involved in something I never meant to
But it wasn't something I could easily undo
Ask me what I go through & I'd giving anything to take it all away
I pushed you over but you threw me away now there's more to say
Sacrifices I made & promises that I gave have been broken & backfired held in the crossfire
So many casualties lying around me as far as the eye can see
Take it away can I convey decisions that I've made are buried & decayed
What's done I can't undo but I would die for you
5. Black Veil
Show yourself show me your face show me who you really are
Don't tell me the reason why you hide yourself from me is because you think that we are similar
With blood on your hands you are unclean
Preying on those who are depraved but you yourself you know you cannot be saved
I know who you are you cover your scars
So many unshed tears to undergo a pain so severe
You try to take me by surprise I see right through your eyes
Wicked malicious are blameless & faultless
Forgive you?? How can I? I can't even forgive myself
What (you) you take you take from me
Please give me something to pull myself through don't you think that its way overdue
Say it's for the last time
Why would you do this? You could never explain this
Why would you do this? Never again
For the last time. Forgive you how can I?
6. Walking Dead
The final conflict against the heretic
That deeply lies in the debris within me
I saw you lying on the floor the flesh from your insides was tore & to myself
I thought help me to help myself before I change into something else
Everyday keeping this anger at bay
Staring at nothing there breathing the air of despair
I feel confined in this space where I do not have a place
I feel confined in this space where I do not have a face
Can I last much longer inside there's such a hunger
Give me a resolution to rectify this condition
Like an embryo this feeling of hopelessness grows
Pull from the inside out something so minuscule why must the world be so cruel
How could the world be so cruel? How could I be such a fool?
I feel confined in this space as everyone walks without a face
The tears on my face show my pain as I pray for strength to restrain (to restrain)
