01. Face Your Mirror

Music by Olivier Wittenberg
[instrumental]

02. Army Of Agony

Music by Olivier Wittenberg
Lyrics by Nina Van Hecke
All the night
I've been wandering
Crushed and trodden on by solid tanks of jealousy
Find delight in my unpeacefulness
Cause I can never mend
The scars of overdose possession

They'll take me home
Hurt creature from the dark
Put into a box and not to be released
Too scared of the unknown
Lost my will to fly
I am settling into life in custody

Keep the fools away now
Cause my tendencies is aching
Kicked off my high heels by combat shoes of hurt
Retaliate and devastate my femininity

All the night
I've been wandering
Crushed and trodden on by solid tanks of jealousy
Find delight in my unpeacefulness
Cause I can never mend the scars of overdose possession

They'll take me home
Hurt creature from the dark
Put into a box and not to be released

03. Voices (Why You Can't Sleep At Night)

Music by Olivier Wittenberg
Lyrics by Nina Van Hecke
Another lonely Friday night
No footsteps on the stairs
No one there to read for you
Cause no one really cares
Mommy daddy always fight
But you they just ignore
The yelling keeps on coming through
You don't listen anymore
Don't listen anymore...

Cause they go on and on
Reproaches hit the ceiling
But they never ask how you're feeling
So every time you go to bed
You talk to the voices in your head

You don't get along with the kids at school
They're jealous of the voices
Cause they only talk to you
You hold on to your dearest friends
In the world beneath your sheets
They seem to be the only ones
Who understand your needs
Who understand your needs...

Nobody speaks but the sound's always there
Nobody hears helpless cries of despair
Don't listen anymore
Nobody knows what your silence's calling for
And no one stops to wonder
Why you can't sleep at night sleep at night

Cause they go on and on
Reproaches hit the ceiling
But they never ask how you're feeling
So every time you go to bed
You talk to the voices in your head

Cause they go on and on
Reproaches hit the ceiling
But they never ask how you're feeling
So ever time you go to bed
You talk to the voices in your head

04. Vanity (Pride's Paradox)

Music by Olivier Wittenberg
Lyrics by Nina Van Hecke
Had it with your lies and disguising
Always trying to win me over
Pull me in then push me away
I'm sick of this it's going nowhere

Go away come back
Boy just make up your mind
Cause I am going mad

So tired of your mindless games
When all I want is you
But for you I've always been like a play doll
Twistin' me round keeping me down
Only when you were needing attention
Showing affection was allowed

I had to set you free
But in the end all you did
Was come crawling back to me

And just then it hit me
You're not alone here with me
There's always you and me and your vanity
I hope someday you'll realise
It's you who caused our sad demise

Had it with your lies and disguising
Always trying to win me over
Pull me in then away
I'm sick of this it's going nowhere
Go away come back
Boy just make up your mind
Cause I am going mad

So tired of your mindless games
When all I want is you
And just then it hit me
You're not alone here with me
There's always you and me and your vanity
I hope someday you'll realise
The one who caused our sad demise is you

05. Sleeping Beauty

Music by Olivier Wittenberg
Lyrics by Nina Van Hecke
Once upon a time
A princess and her love
Lived in domestic happiness
She praised the gods above
Cause everything when perfect
At least in her own mind
Till the day she pricked her finger
On the daily grind

Wipe the floor with her devoted love
Cause you're the one who's craving
I'll be your dark fairy as long as beauty sleeps
How did your white wedding dove
Turn into a raven
You play prince charming of
As long as we share these sheets

Everyday she talks to silhouettes of you
She doesn't see the mirror's cracked dividing him in two
Under the enchantment of routine words and deeds
Remains blind to signals of his unfulfilled needs

Call me when she falls asleep at night
I won't tell if you won't tell anyone
I won't tell
You won't tell
We won't tell anyone

I don't live in lies
They're only half the truth
When the crossroad opens up
Someone's gotta choose
When the spell'll be broken
Her silent chains will break
Could you handle her being constantly awake?

Wipe the floor with her devoted love
Cause you're the one who's craving
I'll be your dark fairy as long as beauty sleeps
How did your white wedding dove
Turn into a raven
You play prince charming of
As long as we share these sheets

06. Hollow Hearts

Music by Olivier Wittenberg
Lyrics by Nina Van Hecke
When I'm alone I crave your company
But when you're with me everything just falls apart
Whole night of shallowness emptiness
Pretending you're the world to me
Darling remember this
I'm the queen of hollow hearts

Well haven't you heard
I'm speaking the words
Saying everything you wanna hear
I know you're used to girls
Who beg you on their knees
But you're just here to feed my needs
One of your worshiping goddesses
Is something I will never ever be

The higher you fly the greater the free fall
If you don't know what's black
You won't appreciate the white at all
The higher you fly the deeper the free fall
If you don't know what's wrong
You won't appreciate the right at all

When I'm alone I crave your company
But when you're with me everything just falls apart
Cause I'm the queen of hollow hearts
One of your worshiping goddesses
Is something I will never ever be

By being numb I hold the trumps
Avoiding my dependency
Of your worshiping goddesses
Is something I will never ever be

My brain dictates by images
It creates all I feel
I have this hope that in the end
All imagined becomes real

07. This Sweet Indifference

Music by Olivier Wittenberg
Lyrics by Nina Van Hecke
Superficiality
Universal side effect
Of prosperity
Contagious, growing fast
Making everybody shine in mediocrity

No sensation no temptation
Just relieving lightness
No chains in an empty space

Got delayed in my desire
Lost along the way
Chasing the white chalked lines

So consumed by the things we do
Puppet show of empty conversation
So confused that we look like fools
Running by all the things that matter in life

So consumed that we never ever stop
To wonder why chances are still passing by

Got delayed in my desire
Lost along the way
Chasing the white chalked lines

Superficiality
Universal side effect of prosperity
Contagious, growing fast
Making everybody shine in mediocrity

So consumed by the things we do
Puppet show of empty conversation
So confused that we look like fools
Running by all the things that matter
So consumed things we do
Puppet show empty conversation
So confused
Look like fools
Running by things that really matter in life

08. Mindstruck

Music by Olivier Wittenberg
Lyrics by Nina Van Hecke
Killing our time with these movie lines
So into you and your bedroom eyes
But hurry up before it's too late
Before I go and rationalise
No love in degrees sweep me off my feet
Step into the light put all doubts aside
You will give me everything
But I'll come back and ask for more

I'll come ask for more
You can give me everything

Killing our time with these movie lines
So into you and your bedroom eyes
But hurry up before it's too late
Before I go and paralyse

Run and hide
From the objections in my mind
It leaves me all alone
When I don't wanna be

Would a softer weaker me
Make for you a better lover
Would I fall in love more easily
If someone could blow my cover
If someone gave me up

Run and hide
From the objections in my mind
It leaves me all alone
When I don't wanna be

09. Russians

Music & lyrics by Sting
Killing our time with these movie lines
So into you and your bedroom eyes
But hurry up before it's too late
Before I go and rationalise
No love in degrees sweep me off my feet
Step into the light put all doubts aside
You will give me everything
But I'll come back and ask for more

I'll come ask for more
You can give me everything

Killing our time with these movie lines
So into you and your bedroom eyes
But hurry up before it's too late
Before I go and paralyse

Run and hide
From the objections in my mind
It leaves me all alone
When I don't wanna be

Would a softer weaker me
Make for you a better lover
Would I fall in love more easily
If someone could blow my cover
If someone gave me up

Run and hide
From the objections in my mind
It leaves me all alone
When I don't wanna be

10. Puzzled

Music by Olivier Wittenberg
Lyrics by Nina Van Hecke
Always at your side
But never good enough to take the lead
So bendable
Honouring your pride
So hard to fill your perfectionist greed
But I keep trying

Cut me break me mould and remake me
Show me how
You lay all these pieces for me
Find a way to solve this for me
Put them all together
I'll be anyone you want me to be
You lay all these pieces for me
Find a way I know there must be
A put me back together
I'll be anyone you want me to be

I am never at ease
Always changing for me will to please
To be compliant

You lay all these pieces for me
Find a way to solve this for me
Put them all together
I'll be anyone you want me to be
But how am I supposed to deal with this
When I can't even fix my own
Worn out shattered skin

Considering what really matters
In this customized relation
Is that every time I let you have your way
Denying myself in a helpless try
To be loved by you
You lay all these pieces
But you never see the that there's another side
I keep striving and aspiring
After a lovable disposable tailored alter ego
