I've sworn I'm better within
Not the last time it keeps coming back Building knowledge, gaining strength A part of the Jekyll, a part of the Hyde Fear itself is bigger than the seed It bares resemblance to the mouths that I feed I'm sworn to a great divide, sworn to a great divide How will I turn when it beckons to me? Can I turn myself from home? Well, it's time to decide is that really the key All that matters, I can do this on my own... So now to complete this journey towards the back of my head Inevitable, the disaster comes as quickly as it came Inevitable dangers, inevitable crimes Considered a victim, a wide open file When the truth just hurts, you will confess, not deny Incinerate, illuminate, either way is just fine Truth shall set you free and I won't push it or let it be Master the puppet or cut off the strings self indulgence What a beautiful thing I'm sworn to a great divide, sworn to a bottomless tide (I can feel it's coming the way Here it comes now, one, two, three GO!) I'm sworn to a great divide, sworn to a great divide... 02. Exile
Please don't put it into words
'Cause I fear what you're thinking ...It's gonna make it hurt You better not try to make me Believe in someone new Faithless On my way Defenceless From my heart, won't you be Heartless, here with me Breathless, from this night's misery This night will start the Exile... RUN! Now you tell me what it was worth Was it meant to be broken The circle that wouldn't shed a single tear And now you wanna redirect me from the face of the earth Not willing to share your time Not near Not far I'm just a spectator, once loved Just fear Just scars A sheer introduction to what I've lost, to what I've lost... Faithless On my way Defenceless From my heart, won't you be Heartless, here with me Breathless, from this night's misery (from this night's misery) One more endless night... To notice all the things I have to be... Faithless on my way Won't forget... From my heart, won't you be Heartless, here with me Breathless, from this night's misery This night will start the exile... RUN! 03. Breeding Thorns
You have not seen the last of me
I'm breeding thorns I'll follow your footsteps down below I will trust all my instincts and bring it home. Does it appeal to you now as a part of the violation? That wherever it takes you, you won't be able to choose. I will carry the message, it will swallow you whole You ain't never gonna tell again Caught as the founder of the emptiness It must have made you stocked whenever my pride was taken, again and again... Again and again Now put your envy in motion, one step at a time I wanna see the closure when your access is denied I will bury the damage, I will drench the device Now I want you to tell me (tell me again), do you see what I see? 'cause it's so damn obvious to me (Whenever a promise taken...) Won't you tell me that it's raw? You ain't never gonna tell again. 04. Your Beloved Scapegoat
So the idol you preached
Has turned to nothing It was making your way through the dust when searching You never thought it would give you up Your beloved scapegoat You never thought it would interrupt Your sweet escape... Those were the times when you cranked it all up You soared for the moment, without wings to lift up... I'm crossing that line with a state of mind One more night missed out As if I was blind to the fact It won't wait... Won't you carry me home? Did you do it all for nothing Or did it make you sure of something No matter the subjection Or the mystery of life was just put on hold You will alway treasure the things That reject you and possess you Breeding new life through the eyes of the insane And it all comes down to you... Those were the times when you cranked it all up You soared for the moment, without wings to lift up... But tonight... I'm crossing that line with a state of mind One more night missed out As if I was blind to the fact It won't wait... Won't you carry me home? Nothing can touch such a mind in distress Won't you find another bright solution Crossing that river, get away with what's left... Eternally stuck in the realm of confusion... But tonight... I'm crossing that line with a state of mind One more night missed out As if I was blind to the fact It won't wait... Won't you carry me home? I'm crossing that line with a state of mind One more night missed out As if I was blind to the fact It won't wait... Won't you carry me home, carry me... 05. The Pittsburgh Syndrome
I woke up that morning
Feeling slightly stressed Getting in an urge to just bail out completely pissed What did I know? That night we made our way Through the darkness And the shame Don't let yourself run away Cause we have another game to play That night you would make us say: "Fuck all the details, get on with the show" It doesn't matter if the mind's at stake Cause we had another round to make There was no way we could fail Fuck all the details, get on with the show The Pittsburgh Syndrome! An hour of destruction Intoxicated bliss Moments of sobriety Would cease to exist A sudden turn Would make that city burn with souls on fire Relentless desire Don't let yourself run away Cause we have another game to play That night you would make us say: "Fuck all the details, get on with the show" It doesn't matter if the mind's at stake Cause we had another round to maker There was no way we could fail Fuck all the details, get on with the show The Pittsburgh Syndrome! Don't let yourself run away Cause we had another game to play That night you would make us say: Fuck all the details, get on with the show It doesn't matter if the mind's at stake Cause we had another round to make There was no way we could fail Fuck all the details, get on with the show 06. I, Vermin
Hide away from the restless
They're making trails as they've failed once again Behind that colony of well shaped nightmares Is where the vermin depends High and low They'll bring the tooth and nail Fast or slow Will you give me just one damn second to bail out of reach? Before I'll do as you please... cause... Me eyes call for definition They will capture the vile as they seek Down low lurks the opposition I just hope you won't categorize me The truth is ugly, raw and malignant The message is as cold as despair 'Cause you're no better than anyone I've ever known If only love could be real... High and low They'll bring the tooth and nail Fast or slow Will you give me just one damn second to bail out of reach? Before I'll do as you please High and low They'll bring the tooth and nail Fast or slow one damn second to bail out of reach? Before I'll do as you please 'Cause I might be wrong... Am I the only one who sees that the damage is done And it won't be long... Before I lose my faith and make a run become like you... My eyes call for definition They will capture that vile as they seek Down low lurks the opposition I just hope you won't categorize me High and low They'll bring the tooth and nail Fast or slow Will you give me just one damn second to bail out of reach? Before I'll do as you please High and low They'll bring the tooth and nail Fast or so slow Give me just one damn second to bail out of reach? Before I'll do as you please 07. Light Discovering Darkness
Light, time is on my side
Well you better believe it's true Cause you can't make me run They call it life Covered 'till it makes you blind Do you wanna make the trip outside Then you better start running I won't let it distract me... Out... I can't believe it's true You better just shut it... Out... They won't let me pull it through Shut it... out Can I push my luck on you Don't shut me out... Again... 'Cause you better shut it out... Define... The shelter as the time goes by It will change 'till you can't decide Now you're left without nothing... I won't let you distract me... Out... I can't believe it's true You better just shut it... Out... They won't let me pull it through Shut it... out Can I push my luck on you Don't shut me out... Again... Cause you better shut it... I feel it too, I feel it I feel it too, no I can't see anything true... I won't let it distract me... I won't let you distract me... Out... I can't believe it's true You better just shut it... Out... They won't let me pull it through Shut it... out Can I push my luck on you Don't shut me out... I can't believe it's true They won't let me pull it through Don't shut me out... Out... Don't shut me out... Again... Cause you better shut it... 08. As The Sleeper Awakes
The decision is mine, will I remain the same
The cost of getting forced into something that used to be a game The fragments of joy, the fragments of faith I can still recall when I feel that... I'm present, I just know If there's anything I should regret I would've been told Counting hours, counting days Will you listen, will you play Is there anyone, who can get it done Taking me back to the place that I once belonged What if tomorrow was gently taken Away from me, away from me... Awaking the memories... Was I meant to get old... Repressing the agonies... Start breaking the mold And the faith, comes back to life Still waiting for, a constant thing to react But I will save myself some of the time Keep aiming for, a constant thing to react As the sleeper awakes Mesmerized by the memories that walk by my side Shelter comes easy As soon as sadness sets in By an impulse the search will begin Searching, collecting all the things I possess a Detecting, the insight I've earned in distress Learning, finally I know how to breathe Turning, turning away from the greed... So unpleasant, it strikes whenever I call So relentless, as I fall A grand awakening, will kill it all Nevertheless I'll be my own precious god... I can't resist, the things I've missed And I'll make sure that it will last the time, I will insist What if tomorrow, was taken away from me Away from me, away from me Awaking the memories... Was I meant to get old... Repressing the agonies... Start breaking the mold (Start breaking the mold) And the faith, comes back to life Still waiting for, a constant thing to react But I will save myself some of the time Keep aiming for, a constant thing to react As the sleeper awakes 09. Silent Bullet
Pay not attention
For what it's worth 'Cause whatever I'll say Turn into dirt Here comes the sane Here comes the remains Ball and chain Here comes the remains Here comes the sane Here comes the remains Ball and chain It's all the same Since when did my life have a meaning? Since when did I have a choice? To make my way through this ravaged landscape As a disposable toy The sun will embark With a trembling notion Claiming I once had it all... Time, giving it time We are still miles apart Insatiable It's just fine, aware of what's mine Can't make it more obvious The snare broken by lust Since when did my life have a meaning? Since when did I have a choice? To make my way through this ravaged landscape As disposable toy You've had your countless hours I've had my moments of grace But every time it devours It'll catch that ugly face The sun will embark With a trembling notion Claiming I once had it all, but... I reach for defiance, I reach for despair There is nothing that can keep me from making the ultimate sacrifice All I want, all I would ever dare to accomplish Is in the hands of the deceiver... Time, giving it time We are still miles apart Insatiable It's just fine, aware of what's mine Can't make it more obvious The snare broken by lust Giving it time We are still miles apart Insatiable It's just fine 10. Sick Heart River
Leaning against what' next to me
Have no fear, won't see Will it eat me up or bring me down I'll gradually make up my mind, my mind... Revolution within myself I'm puzzled, still overwhelmed By the stories that you would tell They always send me something Revolution within myself... within myself... Let me give my best, I won't depend This time I will make another plan to find What's left and nothing less, still I won't tread I'll find my own way to make it all worldwide(?) Call, call on me darkness Wait, wait on me now... Won't you say... Say that I'm sorry 'Cause I won't wait I've found another form It's breeding life It must have been there The whole time when I was dead 'Cause I was pledged to emptiness And now I've let myself To see all the thins I just didn't expect Still I remember, still I repent I'd walk through The never the never Despite my descent Reborn, acknowledging the part of me that once was lost I have repressed, too many years, my utopia was within my grasp Doomed in absentia, left to be sentenced Still rising to cherish, all the things I have left... Call, call on me darkness Wait, wait on me now... Won't you say... Say that I'm sorry 'Cause I won't wait 11. 20 More Miles
Here lies the quest
Right upon you It's time to make a stand Now, whether you like it or not You better deal with it once again This time it's essential This time it's for real In life there's just questions Successively wasting your time A gradual restraint of the mind I let my feelings show, don't know where I'm at It doesn't give you the right to use me... I know I'm better than that... My emptiness fills the holes of your predictable questions... So give me no lectures, don't you sell me your kind [Chorus:] 20 more miles in the rain 20 more getting drained I can't redeem myself But I still can figure it out 20 miles in the rain 20 more getting sane I shouldn't reveal myself But I still could figure it out Don't let me go through this with nothing Nothing to salvage a possible fall Though I still have my conscience to guide me It concerns me enough to believe I let my feelings show, don't know where I'm at It doesn't give you the right to use me... I know I'm better than that... My emptiness fills the holes of your predictable questions... So give me no lectures, don't you sell me your kind 20 more miles in the rain 20 more getting drained I can't redeem myself But I still can figure it out 20 miles in the rain 20 more getting sane I shouldn't reveal myself But I still could figure it out 20 more miles in the rain 20 more getting drained I can't redeem myself But I still can figure it out 20 miles in the rain 20 more getting sane I shouldn't reveal myself But I still could figure it out 12. Martyr
Take the angels away
The only ones who knew Already knew my name Times we know for a war To be the only one who ever knew the way Don't be a martyr it will be alright I can see you run out But still you make the most of making the most I don't want no body to haunt me Every time I see your face in the night I know It's all the voice in my head. Time, time it's only time I feel the colorful things that I did I know its all the voice in my head Take the anger away So many come, so many seem to go that way It's on now Digging a hole in the soul To see the confines of the mental overload You melted it all down I don't want no body to haunt me Every time I see your face in the night I know It's all the voice in my head. But still you make the most of making the most. I can see you've run out But still you make the most of making the most. 13. Sovereign
I felt the urge of knowing
despite the fear of who I am where the truth stands tall and where nothing is a sin is there anything more that tells me where to begin with nothing to guide me except a poisoned well I let the demons rest and believe myself redeem myself! Life's not bigger than this I'm sorry but you have to leave You have been deceived now just wake up your belief don't worry, you wont stand a chance as a broken man... Just like you... I wanna know if time will capture the scars I've worn just let me hold the future for once out of my daily life I can't reject what's obviously wrong cause I'm blind, selfishly blind (Blind!) Selfishly blind Life's not bigger than this I'm sorry but you have to leave You have been deceived now just wake up your belief don't worry, you wont stand a chance as a broken man.. Just like you... See me bury the hatchet Life will suck me dry Pass on all the details When I will get it right... get it right... Life's not bigger than this I'm sorry but you have to leave You have been deceived now just wake up your belief don't worry, you wont stand a chance as a broken man... Life's not bigger than this I'm sorry but you have to leave You have been deceived now just wake up your belief don't worry, you wont stand a chance as a broken man... Get it right |
