It wasn't my goal to ruin this precious moment.
(I) didn't mean to bring this up to complicate. But just like a ghost, this conversation is cursed to came back to haunt us once again. And I run like blazes to keep us safe from harm. I go for you when everyone else is gone. Sometimes I'm just too scared to be out of there. Sometimes these walls just disappear. There's got to be more out there, besides us. These towers are not just made by you and me. Outside my window the bricks are piled up. Now fake your beauty, or give yourself away. And I run like blazes to keep us safe from harm. I go for you when everyone else is gone. Now how it does it feel to be guarding your impressive set of truths. And I run like blazes to keep us safe from harm. I go for you when everyone else is gone. Sometimes I'm just too scared to be out of there. Sometimes these walls just disappear. And I run like blazes to keep us safe from harm. I go for you when everyone else is gone. Now how it does it feel to be guarding your impressive set of truths. 02. My War
Someone staring, I aim for the sniper behind the wall.
Mean no harm, but I'm trained to unarm what may strike us all. Doesn't matter anymore, cause all that was left has escaped through my open door. It doesn't matter anymore, and it's all cause of you. So I whisper; I would do anything to find someone like you. Do you think you relate, do you think you're like me somehow? Let me tell you; who challenge the waters, is sure to drown. Doesn't matter anymore, cause all that was left has escaped through my open door. It doesn't matter anymore, and it's all cause of you. So I whisper; I would do anything to find someone like you. 03. Silent
Slow-mo fantasy, black and white slides all around us.
A blood-stained rubber duck, I really shouldn't swim these waters. Lethal undertow, caught in this web you have spun. A claw-marked basement door, I really shouldn't be here alone. Everything falls when I think of you. Demons whisper like lovers do. A world of fear blends with everything I love. A tall grey silhouette towering as I grow smaller. I leave all fear behind, take comfort in this silent lover. Everything falls when I think of you. Demons whisper like lovers do. A world of fear blends with everything I love. My heart in my throat and seven steps. A concrete floor and voices around me. Beating heart and fragile stairs. Concrete walls and darkness surrounds me. A blood-stained rubber duck, I really shouldn't swim these waters. Everything falls when I think of you. Demons whisper like lovers do. A world of fear blends with everything I love. 04. Another Life
I'm sick of all this emptiness I've chosen for a life.
Without no direction, it's a never-ending strife. It seemed so perfect as I planted fertile seeds. But in this barren soil I've lost my basic needs. Sometimes I'm afraid I've lost my way. Certain I always fail to cease the day. Somewhere I began to go astray. If I could only change. Another life is all it takes. I wish that I could leave this trap, I want another me. I find myself in places I was not supposed to be. At the finger post I try to look the other way. But all I see is future forming the shape of something gray. Sometimes I'm afraid I've lost my way. Certain I always fail to cease the day. Somewhere I began to go astray. If I could only change. Another life is all it takes. If there was a way to live my life again. I'd make sure that I would avoid the pain of moving silently, floating with the stream 'till undercurrents drag me under. Sometimes I'm afraid I've lost my way. Certain I always fail to cease the day. Somewhere I began to go astray. If I could only change. Another life is all it takes. 05. Come On Down
When she walks; testing the ground like she doesn't believe her eyes.
When she smiles, she manage to catch you up in her own mood. Didn't mean to act untouchable, unreachable to you. But it's funny how you get your way just like a little child. But the games are over now... and it's time to come on down. In her eyes there's no such thing as behaving affectedly. When she cries, she manage to catch you up in her own mood. Didn't mean to act untouchable, unreachable to you. But it's funny how you get your way just like a little child. But the games are over now... and it's time to come on down. 06. Flavour Of The Day
Let me tell you a story.
A tornado is on its way to blow your fence away. When the pieces are scattered And your colours are looking pale you've notice the charade. How do you feel today, like angel dust or tidal waves. And if your drink looks gray, it's just the flavour of the day. Have you tried to taste the rain? The river floats in mysterious ways. And if your heart looks gray, it's just the flavour of the day. Let me tell you a secret. A river is on its way to wash your face away. I didn't mean to scare you. I didn't mean to shake you up. How do you feel today, like angel dust or tidal waves. And if your drink looks gray, it's just the flavour of the day. Have you tried to taste the rain? The river floats in mysterious ways. And if your heart looks gray, it's just the flavour of the day. 07. Reptile
So it seems our remedy come at last.
The seal is broken, but do we have a choice? That strange old man, dressed up just like you. He made me coil up like reptiles do. Y yo que no sé vivir he caido y caigo. Y nuevamente el cielo las caricias de los que noche a noche nos repartimos el veneno. Un veneno extraño con mil nombres que se instala en flores verdaderas perfumadas, para pudrirlas por dentro. Y para que amanezcan con nosotros un día u otro en la pequeña caja que los de la funeraria llevan bajo el brazo. And I don't know how to live. Cause I am broken. And I fail and fail again. With this broken skin I try to look like you. (I) hope it makes me blend in like reptiles do. Y yo que no sé vivir he caido y caigo. Y nuevamente el cielo las caricias de los que noche a noche nos repartimos el veneno. Un veneno extraño con mil nombres que se instala en flores verdaderas perfumadas, para pudrirlas por dentro. Y para que amanezcan con nosotros un día u otro en la pequeña caja que los de la funeraria llevan bajo el brazo. 08. New Profound Fear
I am a captive, held by a strange euphoric pain.
You are my precious. No harm shall come to you again. Absolute tranquillity, unconditional affection. The essence of fragility needs my full protection. A newborn serenity, a new profound fear That's taking control of me, will always stay there... I raise my white flag. I'm checking out of history. I'll build a bunker, an eternal place for you and me. Absolute tranquillity, unconditional affection. The essence of fragility needs my full protection. A newborn serenity, a new profound fear That's taking control of me, will always stay there... 09. Imaginary Friend
I shrink from telling you the news.
It's wearing me down. Turning the tables on you is working out fine. When there is something on my mind, it always takes the air somehow. I saw it coming a mile ahead. It's still enough to cut one to the bone. So I cave myself in 'till I'm sure I know my parts. I know this will be something to remember. I have enough and to spare. I promise you I'll put up what it takes to cover and defend my imaginary friend. The stakes are high, but I'll fall on my feet. We're keeping our plans up our sleeves. When there is something on my mind, it always takes the air somehow. I saw it coming a mile ahead. It's still enough to cut one to the bone. So I cave myself in 'till I'm sure I know my parts. I know this will be something to remember. I have enough and to spare. I promise you I'll put up what it takes to cover and defend my imaginary friend. So I cave myself in 'till I'm sure I know my parts. I know this will be something to remember. 10. House Of Mirrors
There's a shape silently moving in the corner of my eye.
Is it hard to refrain from looking back when I stare? Who told you all to stand in line? Our eyes meet in the house of mirrors. I know the secrets of your kind, so never turn your back while I speak. Is it far, the place where I'm safe from all the choices that I fear? Turn the wheel. It's the moment when you become me. Who told you all to stand in line? Our eyes meet in the house of mirrors. I know the secrets of your kind, so never turn your back while I speak. 11. My War/Broken Glass
Someone staring, I aim from the sniper behind the wall.
Mean no harm, but I'm trained to unarm what may strike us all. Can you hear me through your moaning? Broken glass. I would do anything to find someone like you. Do you think you relate, do you think you're like me somehow? Let me tell you; who challenge the waters, is sure to drown. Can you hear me through your moaning? Broken glass. I would do anything to find someone like you. It doesn't matter anymore, cause all that was left has escaped through my open door. It doesn't matter anymore, and it's all cause of you. I would do anything to find someone like you. Can you hear me through your moaning? Broken glass. I would do anything to find someone like you. |
