Can't you read the patterns, can't you see the end
what goes around comes around, here we go again yeah. Can't you read the patterns, can't you see the end what goes around comes around, here we go again yeah. Can't you feed your senses enough to realize to see just how the story goes, the way the pendulum strikes. Rest my head on the mushroom dust spending vacuum time. Mark her turns with my silver brush watching from the sky. And there is no difference no rich and open minds. No change no further evolution, no wisdom earned by time. Where's the point in racing endlessly when it's enough by far to blow us clean. It takes the day when stars fall from the sky before our hearts gets wider than our pride. I can see tomorrow with my rearview eye. Our past will twist and turn again, I see the mushroom smile 02. The Bitter Man
So call me the bitter man cos I do no longer care.
Tear off my skin, look deep in my soul and I'll show the scars I wear. I'm not crying, I'm not crying, I'm not the crying kind but you're dying yeah you're dying cos you're the dying kind. And I've been to the end and I'll take you there so don't make me think cause I don't even care. And I'll be happy to pour some salt in your wounds cos I'd love to see you cry. So don't trust my smile and don't trust my eyes cos I promise you I'll lie and I won't waste my time to prove you wrong cos it would take too god damn long, take too god damn, take too god damn, take too god damn long. You wish you'd be once again the one that wins in the end. Don't hope too much now my friend. Don't hope too much now my friend, let it go! The words I'll never speak still echoes in my mind just gaze into these empty eyes and tell me what you find 03. Before Today, Beyond Tomorrow
Your time means nothing, a journey for the sun.
A change of wind and weather into a different kind. It's like you never passed upon this golden plains. Your life was just a flash, I wish I'd remember The morning breeze threw sand in my face But I will meet the day with dignity. I know the secrets buried in this place. But I can't remember I watched your father, I have seen them all. Owe the treasures of our land, I have seen them fall and now the screams have died into a distant world a place of joy and pride I still can't remember My limbs are carved in stone on the ground I'm gonna stay awake forever. I know each move every single sound but I can't remember I've seen the centuries slowly pass me by They may have marked my being but by god I'm still alive. Days passed in dust of sand against the crimson horizon. I feel the touch of our fathers hand, I wish I'd remember 04. Swallow The Snake
Scream to me, make me see why you are crumbling.
Build a grave one brick each day, the beast is rumbling. Is it way too tempting to rape that crying child? Is it so addictive to tell another lie? Suck the space in million ways, the fools collision. The super rush, eternal buzz, the freaks affection now I'm counting snowflakes and the cattle herd makes my head start spinning and my senses burn Can you ever be forgiven for giving apathy a prize. Can I ever turn my other cheek when you kill before my eyes I'm just a floating zombie. Don't wanna live your life. I need to touch some substance not just sugar for my mind. Now I'm counting snowflakes and the cattle herd makes my head start spinning and my senses burn 05. In My Veins
Tell me who I am.
Look what I've become what I've turned into. I'm not longer me the one I used to be. I am made of stone and you better believe it's true Try to stop from falling down. You'll be in hell much faster than you know It's just not enough that I've killed myself oh so many times, now I hardly exist I am drained from blood cos you're in my veins. I need to be set free from chains and burdens, free from all that's old and crippled. Won't try to keep warm what is dead. You're on your own much faster than you know Hey, I'll keep myself away. Hey, hey, just keep myself away Can't you see that I'm dying, fading away I can't fight all your demons. You're too full of pain. 06. Blizzard In My Blood
I feel the touch of your hand sweeping across our land.
I see the work of your hand spreading across our land I know the changes, they are temporary waves and they're never here to stay but hurry now cos patience just don't live forever and I feel like 100 years today And when I die if I do. I've seen a hundred of you and when I die if I do. I know just what you do There are days when I can reach up to the sun days that couldn't go too slow but today I'm at the bottom of the world, yeah, today I feel so low Yeah - It feels so hopeless in my grave Yeah - It's like I'm mouldering every day Yeah - I need a blizzard through my blood Yeah - to drown my veins into the flood 07. Zone Traveller
I turn my face to a different place
to taste the air they're breathing there. I race with winds through time and space to catch the marks they are leaving. Raging screams from killing streets. Their toxic wounds are bleeding I drink your rain and sail your wave. The black gold's in my face. A fire's burning in my eyes. I've had enough of your ways Take me home, take me home. I'll leave your sins and dirty whores. Take me home, take me home. I've seen the pain, her aching sores I fled the southern hemisphere. I ran upon the sea. I felt the tradewind through my hair not for a second loosing speed Take me home, take me home. I'll leave your sins and dirty whores. Take me home, take me home. I've seen the pain, her aching sores I have travelled the world. I have travelled the world. It's like the fate of humanity's decided by my words I climb the wall so afraid to fall, smell the breath from the ground. Each grip I take every move I make, you always bring me down And I can't replace if you keep the pace killing is for sale The right hand steal and the other feed we're running for our tail. 08. Beneath
The shadow still remain.
Reminds me of the pain. It's shallow yet it's deep. But it's nothing we can keep 09. King Of The Valley And The Western Sky
I can't ignore the highway, I've got it in my dreams.
It's right beside my palace and just above the sea. I have the stars around me, sometimes I feel the world. And from the top of his lighthouse we touch the universe The western sky is bleeding, our view is open wide. The sun is burning the city, this valley is divine. I am the king of the hill now, my senses are aroused. If I maintain the balance my head will reach the clouds I look upon my kingdom.I can't hold back my pride. A perfect situation. We're making 0 3 5 10. Nothing Dies
Peel away the skin that hurts.
Peel away the skin that burns. Turn away from all you know Turn away to save your soul Peel away the skin that's cold. Peel away the skin that's old Will I ever touch the sun again. Will it blind my eyes and ease the pain. Will I ever burn my hands again nothing ever stays the same See through the lies. See that nothing ever dies, nothing dies, nothing ever dies 11. Silent Suffering
Crush the dreams within and do away with all the joy and pride.
Leave the past behind just leave it all and heal the wounds inside. But I will never hear, I'll never see. I'll never ever trust again. But do you know and do you care, to me it's all the same Crush the one that speaks. Just go ahead and tear the world apart. And let them pay just let them pay for tearing out your heart. I will be the one that steals the smile that steals the smile right off your face. And trust me now that I'll be here, be there to count your days Can you feel the pain. Can you feel the silent suffering. Can you ease the pain. Can you make me wanna come alive. Can you make me die Don't let me ever hear your voice again Don't let me ever see your face again |
