1. Careless
As I lay my head to rest
Can't forget the daily process of decay
Inhaling stress with every question I breathe
Sleep is what I'm waiting for...
fear is what I receive
Trying to escape from reality
lies, violence, disorder
What is reality more
Than a nightmare of someone else's making
while dozing off, into a phase, between conscious and dreams
holding on to the thoughts...
Chorus:
emotions turned numb, while escaping from here
destiny lies in knowing what to dream...
knowing when to dream
As I lay my head to rest
Link by link emotions break apart
Cannot help to break the links
Feel forced to break the links
Swiftly I shut my eyes before this world
as I lay my head down
Succeeding in acute amnesia
Gently embracing the morning star
As I lay my head to rest
Only questioning my disinterest
I must seek MY own benefits
Careless as I fall asleep
Chorus:
emotions turned numb, while escaping from here
destiny lies in knowing what to dream...
knowing when to dream
2. Victims of Retaliation
The remains of the past, burn.
In the dark corners of your mind
The reality of the past pre-ending of your local life
Denied from existence and claimed as death
Your being left alone to rot.
Chorus:
Swallow the emotional painkiller,
which makes you forget...
How you control yourself...
Your Eyes closed, by lack of "dealing with"
Suppression of the wounds hides the pain
Confident of your perfect life, you ignore the fact
Of your daily procreated instability
What youve been living through, is not part of my past.
And it won't justify, your behaviour now...
Action before thoughts, victims of retaliation
The ones who didnt share the time
Too blind to see the damage you bring, as the hate explodes in your heart
When you hurt the merciful again
Irritation builds while control is being weakened
And aggression s being unleashed upon the world
You could never, forget the hurting, the denial
And the past reclaims its desperation
Chorus:
Swallow the emotional painkiller, which makes you forget...
How you control yourself...
Your Eyes closed, by lack of "dealing with"
Suppression of the wounds hides the pain
Confident of your perfect life, you ignore the fact
Of your daily procreated instability
What youve been living through, is not part of my past.
And it won't justify, your behaviour now...
3. Intro ''I'm Despair''
4. I'm Despair
the cry of the abandoned child, longing for shelter
feeling of being alone in a crowded street
the staring eyes emerging from the dark
repeating darkness that surrounds, in your dreams...
I'm the toxin in your veins
which makes your soul bleed
I'm the hidden desire of reliving
that emotion over again
feeding upon your fear,
submitted to awareness...
I'll grow on your sorrow
when you least expect it,
I'll be the only...
true enemy
cause, I'm despair
the hand on your shoulder by which you realize the end is there.
endless masquerades of hiding from me.
I'm the flowing blood which represents being alive.
the hollowness of your hopes...
when your river stops to flow...
a motionless ocean...
when there is no more option
of expressing yourself
feeding upon your fear,
submitted to awareness
I'll grow on your sorrow
when you least expect it
I'll be your only true enemy
cause I'm despair
realizing you became whom
or what you always hated...
knowing you will never receive
what your heart desires...
once tasted life...
A untamed passion
I'll cut it up in pieces...
and leave the remains to rot, cause...
I'm despair...
