Tracks



01. Fumes From The Swamp

Hold us far beyond justice
Force your will through
Erratic behavior without end
We appear for you like a godsend

Rise
For freedom we unite
The chains belong to their lives

Same situation grows on us
Same as it always will be
Distorted thoughts of incoherence
We evolve like fumes, fumes from the swamp

Rise
For freedom we unite
The chains belong to their lives

Fear the change
We evolve like fumes from the swamp

Pride is found within ourselves
We believe only in our own moral
Remember this day, remember this moment
Your story ends, and ours begin.

Rise
For freedom we unite
The chains belong to their lives

02. Once In Between

Inside and out our lonely egos
There's something wrapped around her
Tenderness, redress
And we fold our stares into serpent shapes
It's more comfortable this way
Don't want to lose

The point of liberation, stranger than fiction
Where are my angels in this opium dream?
I'll swallow a bullet just for the fuck of it
Insidious lullabies or something that justifies

Where I once stood, in what I believed
All turned out to be the falsest path
Determined to fail
Determined to fail

3 drugs and 3 different realities
10 ways to go but none that suit the bitter me
I'm told that secrets lie in the deepest of oceans
Do I dare to lay my hands in this shape of mine

Where I once stood, in what I believed
All turned out to be the falsest path
Determined to fail
Determined to fail

03. 10 vs. 9

Looking for recognition
In a defect reflection bastard son lonely one
Lay it down I'm done
Let's wander the worlds on our flat planet

I slain the burden
Deflower the tempt and disease what is me

I linger the line of disembodied masses
A pocket full of confusion
When 10 Vs. 9 my body hits ground

I'm in too deep flawless and majestic
Under the influence lies turn into lullabies
My life was always shit
And don't care how clear things seem

I slain the burden
The shape of colors succumb and deface

I linger the line of disembodied masses
A pocket full of confusion
When 10 Vs. 9 my body hits ground

Pitch black
Under a desert moon velvet

I linger the line of disembodied masses
A pocket full of confusion
When 10 Vs. 9 my body hits ground

04. Exit Body On Mass

It's inside me
Vulgar state of mine
It describes me

I can feel it crawling
Searing my skin
Diving into wasteland
Dismantle the claws
That are nailed to my aura
Purify

Inside my head
Things fall into pieces again
Depriving my sanity
And all I pray for is that it
Exits my body on mass
Exit my body on mass

Can you feel me?
Who is touching?
Can you feel Me?

You can slap me with it
Beat me blind
I no longer feel you
Appearing numb from all emotions
Sour and stale

Can you sense me?
Who is breathing?
Can you sense me?
Understand

Inside my head
Things fall into pieces again
Depriving my sanity
And all I pray for is that it
Exits my body on mass
Exit my body on mass

Majestic rush
It's a total release
Wash it all away
Love this
Love you
Reborn again
Love this
Love you
Reborn again

Inside my head
Things fall into pieces again
Depriving my sanity
And all I pray for is that it
Exits my body on mass
Exit my body on mass

05. Beneath My Swirl

To own the strength
To feel the redemption
Build a dream that lasts
Laughing despair
in your face
Gone is the vision embraced
Tear down your fears

Walk the line
To feel the fire
Burn emotions to dust
Carry your stone
Like a man
Don't let them get to your head

I won't fade, I won't fade
I refuse to fade to grey

Deluded scenes swirl around
Creating chaos in me
The narrow frame of ignorance
Leaves nothing alive

Laugh it up
Brush it off
An illusion set astray
Laughing despair
In your face
Gone is the vision embraced

I hate away, I hate away
I see no end to it
I won't fade, I won't fade
I refuse to fade to grey

Deluded scenes swirl around
Creating chaos in me
The narrow frame of ignorance
Leaves nothing alive

06. A Moment Of Clarity

A veil has been laid over my eyes
It fades the light of life for me
I wish for light in a dreary world
In my valley of turbulence
Speak the words to present me serenity
I'm serving my nature

Forget sane proportions
Embrace your darkest Enemy
It all comes down to this
Moment of clarity
Remember insanity
Reject the past so cold
It all comes down to this
Moment of clarity

Locked inside this room I hide
To generate all in which I confide
Tangled up in a chronic web
The noose is tightened for each day
Pinned up to meet the judging whores
Fulfilled of who they think that they are

Forget sane proportions
Embrace your darkest enemy
It all comes down to this
Moment of clarity
Remember insanity
Reject the past so cold
it all comes down to this
Moment of clarity

Made up to keep the dragon away
To block the fears from yesterday
Made up to keep the demons away
To block the ghost from yesterday

Tangled up in a chronic web
The noose is tightened for each day
Pinned up to meet the judging whores
Fulfilled of who they think that they are

Forget sane proportions
Embrace your darkest enemy
It all comes down to this
Moment of clarity
Remember insanity
Reject the past so cold
It all comes down to this
Moment of clarity

Forget sane proportions
Embrace your darkest enemy
It all comes down to this
Moment of clarity
Clarity
Clarity

07. The Fading Suns

You know I sometimes face the questions
Silently caressing my mind
I'm out of things to speak about
Hey, mister super fuck in drag
My brother manic sonic
I'm full of shit just bring it on

Can't find a way to communicate
Our systems are obsolete

Rhythms from the clock that's hiding
This worldwide striking defame
I'll try to hide from myself but not from me
Misshape and chaos of well shaped forms

Things that are worth thinking about
Waste my time, cause I can't let it out
This is when my motor stands still

The fragile bliss of a worn out kiss
Feast the frantic mind of a dismal time

Rhythms from the clock that's hiding
This worldwide striking defame
I'll try to hide from myself but not from me
Misshape and chaos of well shaped forms

Sad to say, some suns are fading away
While my life just slips away
Why I'm the one to blame
Come with me to the corner of shame

Rhythms from the clock that's hiding
This worldwide striking defame
I'll try to hide from myself but not from me
Misshape and chaos of well shaped forms

08. Soulsides

It will all come raging
Back at me anyway
Twist my world around, for I'm a circus
Down to the depths, through the city crowds
I'm dead to the world, super-judged to filth

Strange moments, color the soulsides
I'm creaming through a cosmic fiber
Cruising with the devil, piercing a hollow dawn
Round up us fuckers, who smudge the circle

It takes me down
Where the demons they all know my name
Bleeding me dry
It takes me down
To the place where I lost my shame
Committed to stay high

It's not a phase, it's a process, this is what you need
Let's go to heaven and back I'll race you
Bring some beauty back and place it in a box
I'll swallow the key and sleep until, it's all over

It takes me down
Where the demons they all know my name
Bleeding me dry
It takes me down
To the place where I lost my shame
Committed to stay high

09. Forever Winding

Countless wounds
Like piercing needles
Puncturing my strength
Puncturing my strength
Sprung of joy
Now sadness Inbloom
Look at what I've become
Look at what I've become

It goes on
Forever winding
It goes on
Forever winding

Firmly in my hand
I hold the key
It sets me free
Set me free

It goes on
Forever winding
It goes on
Forever winding

For so long deep in a hole
Out of control
For so long deep in a hole
Out of control

10. Karma In Black

In beauty she prevails
Swallow the fire dream
Exhale the mist from its grasp
Let it lead its own life

Innocence is given birth
Through her eyes fate flames
The wooden heart comes to life
Pounding strength machinery
The shape of future to come
Has its life through her fingers
In need to caress the hope
Soothing what she displays

Untouchable divinity impure
Everlasting weakness to cure

Hide your life in grey
Dance the greed away
Deceit is rescued and I'm safe
Karma in black displayed

Insomnia fuels my veins
The caress of blackened stares
Shades every space of me
All the way a new cycle

Untouchable divinity impure
Everlasting weakness to cure

Hide your life in grey
Dance the greed away
Deceit is rescued and I'm safe
Karma in black displayed
