1. A Fragile World
2. Trials of Life
I've lost my way in this world
Eyes sewn shut tight so I can't see what's happening
They try to tie me down
Tie my feet to the ground and mask my face so I can't speak
I wake up everyday, turn on the TV; what do I see? Tragedy!
What's left inside of me? The fear that lies within
One nation full of sin; To seek and witness the drowning man
Pre-Chorus:
I'm filled with disgust, I feel my stomach turn
I wish my eyes told lies, but what I see is real
Chorus:
You can taste it, you can touch it, hold it in your hands
You can take it, you can break it, mold it with you hands
Thirst for the worst, one baby dead at birth
These are the trials of life
Verse 2:
I've lost my way in this world
Eyes tell lies, force-feed alibis
You make this monster in me
I worry everyday I might contract dismay
Just stop and think this way
(Repeat Pre-Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
I see, I feel...life...
Try and walk one day in my shoes
Try and live one day in my world
I work so hard to make ends meet
I work so hard to live my dreams and why?
Verse 3:
I've found my way in this world
I will survive; this is the choice of mine
You've made the monster decline
My days grow shorter, my nights grow longer
In the end I know I've tried
(Repeat Pre-Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
I've found my way!
3. One Last Taste of Temptation
Verse 1:
I am drowning in a pool of despair
A life that's passed me by and by
Without direction, my life led astray
Diminishing threads by the end of this day
And now I'm being torn by all these lies
The web of madness that captures you
Kicking and screaming hoping someone will see
Your last breath, someone's death, leaving you to die
Pre-Chorus:
Someone please save me, someone see, setting you free
Someone please save me, someone see, setting me free
All these lies, despise, reprised, to live alone and left to die
Chorus:
Why should I - end my life - in your eyes - a life that's drowning to escape
Verse 2:
How is it that I can hold on so long?
The wind's so strong that I can feel them burning
And all the will to live is drained to the cord
Yet I take it daily and beg for more
To be alone to see the eyes of despair
I can feel your tear because I have been there
This is the end there are no more goodbyes
When all I wanted is to give death a try
(Repeat Pre-Chorus)
Bridge:
Why should I - end my life - in your eyes - I'm only nothing
You will see - with your eyes - a world so fragile - a life that's drowning to escape
(Repeat Pre-Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
4. The Clenching: Dawn of Man
Resist temptation - life's a struggle and then you die
Resist temptation - crossed my heart then hoped to die
Resist temptation...
Shoot it up, life's crown
Been down for far too long
24 hours of pain-spent regret - resist temptation
The morning after I won't forget - more lamentation
I have the will to refuse the temptation
Mourn over the deaths of the millions and billions
Tearing down walls, I'm breaking the mold
Years of rejections, one thousand stories to be told
I have the will, I have the strength to rise above it all
I'll reign down on them
The more I try to see inside your pathetic life...
All you needed was a crutch to survive
Hard to say you're gone - wasting your life away
Hard to say you're gone - feeding your life astray
Hard to say you're gone - wasted away
Hard to say you're gone...
Something's wrong, torn and far too gone
Dreams are made of these
Dreams are only a lie
Burnt and raw
Jaws are clenching down on me
Jaws are clenching down
Clenching of dawn of man - down
Clenching them down on me - down
As I drift further away to nothing
5. Like Icarus
Is it just me or are the stars bright tonight?
Up high, enchanted visions of stars that shine for me in the heavens above
I wish to be inside of you,
Inside the constellations of your heart
I part from dust; the bleeding of two
The chain breaks and sparks will fly...fly on
The more I try the harder I fall...Away
Harder I try you're gone
A distant sun, I see gold in your eyes
Sometimes I wished it all away
Too many times I took you for granted
Your fading smile, your eyes turned to grey...
This time, I won't let you go away
So long ago...I fly so high I can't touch the ground
I touched the sun and burnt away...
These feelings inside won't go away
The more that I bleed, I bleed for you...
6. Holding On
Verse 1:
In this darkened cloud, blacking out my eyes
I can still hear her voice crying out to me
The darkness never seems to fade away
Dawn of a distant light, clenching to the empty skies above
Chorus:
Here I stand upon the edge of sanity
Holding on to what she had never known
I cannot bear to watch as your slipping farther away from me
So I stand alone, but no one seems to know
Where I'm supposed to go
Verse 2:
Falling throught the boundaries of time
Wasted memories of my forgotten life
Tell me what I've done to deserve this misery
Forever drifting, forever falling away from me
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge 1:
So I run so far away that I lose myself
In this world of pain and fear of agony
That bounds my soul mourning to be free
Yet I fall farther than ever before
I'm slipping away
But no one seems to know
I've lost all that was known to me
I walk alone
No more what I was
A shadow left in the dark
Suffering for all time
Please Lord, let the angels
Carry me home
Bridge 2:
Will I always feel the void
That you left in my heart
I can't hold myself above
All my fears, which have turned on me
Left here all alone
Lost so far from home
Can't you see the life in me is gone
(Repeat Chorus)
Hook:
Falling through the boundaries
I still hear her voice
Tell me what I've done
Forever I walk alone
7. As We Rust
Lost in this world, I cannot be found; no one hears
My soul is lost, I pray it be found; no one sees
All of these fears I have inside
My life flashed before my very eyes
ALl I know is I just don't know what is going wrong
In my chest I distress that my heart's not bleeding anymore
No more color in my eyes
Bleeding cold, encased with ice
No more color...no more
Your store-bought smile - it sickens me
You wear your mask and the lies that your eyes are telling me - can see through
Filled to the brim with piss and shit, I stand enthralled
You play the part, but where's your heart, buddy?
You're not standing tall
The rising tide, you'll leave; I paid the price surely
You took everything from me and I what I thought was true
And what I felt for you...you're not a friend at all
As years go by, the sands of time, they slip away
And as we rust, from ash to dust, we are the sands of time
Please god, save me from my own self - just let me die
I beg of thee, just set me free - just set me free
Sick of this world so full of lies - so full of lies
Your love for me has surely died - has died
I look inside your eyes, I look inside your painted lies
I paint you faded grey
And all the years go by and all the times you made me cry
I fade, I fade away...
Why try? World hides...
Why try? We hide...
I fade, I fade away...
8. Story For Eternity
Verse 1:
The thought, a breakdown of human science
A deafened meaning of nothing to come
Silence breaks the wall's resistance
Exposing my broken heart's remorseful remains
Existence means not as much as before
As for it seems part of me has died
Struggle for the answers, bound to land
In a pool of buried memories
Pre-Chorus:
Everyone has left me to die, knowing not what is to come
For fear of feeling trapped and forever drowning in darkness
Chorus:
Possessed by the will to find - what I once was
Human soul lost within a beast - forever in darkness
Demons call to me more so now - than ever before
Hoping to make me lose sight - of the truth
Verse 2:
Pain, regret becomes a part of the everyday
Way of life and lost in its course
All the fog that blinds my mind without vision
My eyes see nothing yet feel agony
That builds the wall's resistance
Brick by brick, I'm falling apart back to the start
As the wall heightens I see it's made
Of all my untouched dreams
(Repeat Pre)
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3:
Looking back on what was once there
A blank haze seems to fill my empty stare
Once again the pain shall arise
And haunt me forever more
I'm not afraid of what path I chose
Though I may be condemned to this hell
All and all my eyes shall tell a story
That shall live for all eternity
(Repeat Pre)
(Repeat Chorus x2)
9. Cold Hands, Shattered Dreams
10. Eternal Sleep
Heartsick to see the endless cycle
I crave to see my empty grave
Broke down and beat, an endless cycle
Six feet I sleep inside my grave
Hearts break, I see your fading smile
I wish to feel you inside me
Blood-soaked, my sheets are red with desire
Flows fluently like a neverending stream
So to your bridge to be burnt...Lifeless I lay
So to your life to be born...Lifeless I lay
Alone again, the endless cycle
My bones ache for eternal sleep
Locked away in my cold, dark coffin
Bury me deep so you will never find me
Feel all the pain...Pain will end this cycle
Mourn over (my) death, through it sets me free
Gun to my head, should I end this? Do this?
Question I asked myself day after day...Torment!
Sleep, dream, feeling dormant
Sleep deep and feel the pain
Tortured souls will open up your heart...Torment!
Sleep, dream, feeling dormant
Sleep deep and feel the pain
Tortured souls will open up your heart
I can feel your agony
You're bleeding out your eyes and throat
I can't feel the apathy
The end is soon to set you free
Sleep...Sleep...Sleep...Sleep
Love...Sleep
Tear-filled eyes drown the skies
A silent cry as the world rests
Close your eyes and dream forever...Now sleep
I give up - it's like staring death in the eyes
For years I've cried and now I bleed for you
Years I've died and still I bleed for you...
11. My Last Goodbye
Open wide and open-armed
Bracing for the fall
Moment passed and nothing's left
The further I descend
You can't see 'cause I can't see you
Fall too fast to the earth (destiny)
The cycle repeats within a heartbeat
Nothing's changed since the day of my birth (fallacy)
Eyes meant for mine, trapped inside time
Losing control...falling...
I run away, open up your arms
I fall away, open up your heart
Eye to eye, I cannot lie...this feeling inside me is real
Pull me further or pull me out and pour the life back in me
You can't see 'cause I can't feel
I feel you fall away from me (fallacy)
(Never more) the cycle repeats within a heartbeat
My life as faltered straight to the floor
I run away, open up your scars
I fall away, open up your arms
I pray for rain, for life remains the same
I feel the strain, for life never changes, never changes
Turned to stone, feeling lifeless
Turned to grey, endless day
Turned to stone, feeling lifeless
Turned to grey, endless day
The sky is crying for me; the sky has wept for me
I pray for rain, for life remains the same
I feel the strain, for life never changes, never changes
I won't place my trust in you
Don't stop, stop and smell the roses
Don't stop, stop to enjoy the day
'Cause I'm slipping away for everyday
It shocks the mind, feeling so blind
One life so fragile in every way
It turns to sand, meeting their demands
Can't be everything you want me to be
The more I think, the more I see, the more I feel
This is for real - I'm going insane
The more I think the more I see, the more I feel
This is for real - I'm going insane
This could be my last goodbye
