Stuck in the shapes you gave me
Those shapes that will never change Condemned to be the same forever In your eyes What to do, what to say, where to go, whom to pray? You tell me, you tell me I'm just the frozen one in the paint In can't move, I can't move on! I'm locked in a strange room Where the sky is made of gold I'm locked in a strange room Where I can't move at all But I won't give up and let it go Give me the chance to reveal and Set me free from the ones I've been I'm gonna break these icons! You keep me prisoner Of an outdated-me Can't you see the paint fading away Colors becoming drab? Can't you see it cracking from the inside? And the split releasing my pain... I'm gonna break these icons... Of me. 02. Edge Of Insanity
Alone on a bench of the playground
I'm watching their little games No one to look at my misery But the ones who like to jeer Did you know I was weak When you stabbed me in the back? Did you know that I was in pain? Did you know I could fall From the edge of these depths That I was disturbed? No no no no! You can't ignore the threat Whispering in your head It will burn your kindness To drown you into madness Will you blame it on me? The things that should not be There's no here cos' of me You're the one who screwed up Your teases like a little pretty spark That bursts into fire? Did you know that your words Woke something up in me? Did you know I could be insane? Did you know that I would Loose my mind and revenge Standing on the edge of insanity! Feel the anger growing inside It destroys my sanity See all the strength it's giving me To forget all the rules Tonight I feel like I'm on edge On the edge of dementia! So ladies and gentlemen Welcome to the theatre of fools. Time to hear the lament of a psycho Hear the story of a fragile heart Who was just like you but Too sensitive, too frail For this world of your. It could have been your face In the paper this morning? Here I am Standing in front of you Begging for mercy! Look what you've done to me And remember We're all on the edge of insanity! 03. Wrong Reflection
Sometimes, it's just a little word that is uncalled-for
Sometimes, it's just a little sign that you dare to ignore. I can barely talk to you, I can barely hold your gaze. I can barely understand your thoughts! I hate these moments when you're a stranger to me, When you're so far, so far away from what I'm feeling now! I can't play the part that you cast me for, I'm sorry I can't take this version of me you reflect like a broken mirror Always a little risky when you bring me there It always starts from nothing and leads nowhere. You keep pushing me away, Am I supposed to suffer it? Am I supposed to feel guilty about it? What was unfair In my despair? Why aren't you listening to me? What wasn't told Behind your lies? Why do we have to fight? 04. Fallin' In Sin
An angel fell
And lost her innocence Dirtied by the hands of Beast, Can't find why, This sin is out of sense How have I turn to the darkest side? Forgive me Lord Forgive me my love? I confess my Lord, A sin of flesh and blood. Prisoner in the kingdom of Evil Couldn't find a way to escape? Shame on your face petrifies your skin, You are the one who fell in sin It's time for you to serve your sentence in hell! You've been given to temptation, Now celebrate your damnation, Here's come to time to serve your sentence in hell! Steal my life, release me from my pain How could I forgive myself? Better die than meet your eyes again Crucified by the memories of my fault? 05. Ticking Time Bomb
Once there was a hero
Believing he would live Forever and ever more That's how the story goes Human forget the laws Eternal, immortal They try to have it all. In your arms your brother died In his eyes, you saw your own future In your heart, a doubt is rising, growing more and more What do you hope from your quest? You can't fight the stream of time Moments will pass, whoever you are, king or slave I cannot renounce my timeless illusion Can you hear the sound of your wasted days, Saying "Tick-Tock", time's running out? How long is the lifeline Gods drew for you? Does it haunt you, hurt you, to reach the deadline? You beg for a minute more, What would you do if you'd get it? Would you spend it crying on your own fate and losing your mind? Somewhere a clock is ticking, Sometimes your bomb will burst, What would you cry for when you reach the end of the line? 06. Stranger Me
The girl they're talking about
She can't be me, she's someone else And the distance between me and her It hurts me so bad Straight to my heart, straight to the core As if I were never prepared for it Deep inside you know it is true Some have to live, some have to die, Deep inside a voice reminds you That you're not part of the chosen ones. Will you give up for a few ones? They don't know what they're talking about Will you stand up and get rough And take the chance to be someone else? Look at this child in the picture I've never fit within the frame Cos' this place has become too vast too soon For the soul that still belongs to the little girl And that is not strong enough to fill this body. How can I be the one I've seen in your eyes I hate the way she is, she's a stranger to me I cannot recognize this face full of lies How can I bring myself to take this stranger me? 07. The Seventh Cage
(Instrumental)
08. Evergreen
They say everywhere
It's too late to care About our old sick world (You can't stop the course) They tried every time To prevent the crime Of lese-majesty (It was not enough) To mother Gaïa But no Messiah Came to change the course (No one came to save us) In two thousand and twelve They say the death knell Will ring out on Earth. Shall we cease the fight? And forget the light On our sweet cold skin? (Don't give up on us!) Shall we stop hoping For better ending And wait for our loss? You kept desecrating Our holy legacy You didn't give a damn You provoke our fury We're out of control Will you deprive our child from the song Of the wind in the evergreen that you loved once Chink in the leaves when the rain came to fall We'll make it evergreen in our recall. What will remain of our guiltiness? Now we must realize the treasure in our hands The treasure in our hands that will crumble soon. 09. Start From Scratch
It's not what you are
It's not who you are It's all about the one they want you to be It's all about the one you're supposed to be I'm sick of all your judgments How I wish I could start from the scratch You can't run back the tape You cannot start from the scratch I just wanna take a little time out I just wanna kill this fake myself I just have to die to be another me All you can do Never enough Hard to get through Better be tough I'm sick of all your judgments How I wish I could start from the scratch You can't run back the tape You cannot start from the scratch I'm sick of all your comments How I wish I could start from the scratch You cannot start your life from the scratch Let me be And break the chains that strangle me Let me breath, let me struggle I have enough of acting all the roles of this play When will the curtains finally fall? I can't remember when all went wrong But on this very day I colored the angels gray, On the book that taught how to pray I colored the angels gray, On the paintings that showed the way They told me to built this wall, A fortress against the world But I couldn't lift the stones, Much too heavy for a little girl So I colored the angels gray, On the book that taught how to pray I colored the angels gray, On the paintings that showed the way Now they besiege the soul That was left defenseless Years ago by a child Who could not know the consequences. 10. My So Called Friend
This little something in your eyes
Still makes me feel alive Can't believe you're still inside (my head, my heart) This furtive word you let escape Shows that you still care It isn't easy to fake? You called me "friend" Is it the way you see me? Or is it just a comfortable lie? Cos' I'm not buying it I'm afraid we've lost All the things we got It's not love, it's not hate, it's not us anymore I'm afraid you've lost And became a ghost It's not us, it's not our time anymore It's time now to turn the page Time to erase all the rage May you rest among my forgotten regrets And become the best of them all You didn't say a word There's nothing left to share Friends are not supposed to be Strangers to each other. Much more and much less than a friend to me But I can't tell what is worse? We can't be friends without reservation, Without a slice of desire 11. No Warning Signs
See myself dialing a number on the phone
A message on your voicemail Telling that you're not here Didn't how much it was right Didn't know you'd never hear those words Cos' there were no warning signs There were no warning signs! No one could tell that there was something wrong in the sunlight Nothing has changed but the look in your eyes these days? A sunny Monday and this man at my door Whit a sad looking face I've never seen before Telling me these things I can't stand Telling me things that I didn't plan Cos' there were no warning signs There were no warning signs! No one could tell that there was something wrong in the sunlight Nothing has changed but the look in your eyes these days? Fates controlled the thread of his life Morta cut it with her knife None of us could have envisioned His thread was the shortest one! Fates controlled the thread of his life Morta cut it with her knife None of us could have envisioned His thread was the shortest one |
