Talking in my sleep, cursing through my teeth, sweating in the heat
Stuck inside this dream of darkening frustration Liars in my dream, I'm frightened and I'm weak, there's nothing left for me And the visions I endure are simply entertainment Dark figures chasing me, I hear the wolf that cries, see them multiply You're ablaze behind the eyes; they burn into my memory A sudden sense of hope, the virtue of my ghost, you're another ugly host And I can't believe that you would just deny everything I choose to live free It took a second warning then I said goodbye With tainted eyes I need to believe It took a little longer to sympathise And you were hoping I would give in to you I won't dance because you want me to No romance; deep down I only want to be the same Now there's nowhere left to hide Game of chance; I roll the dice for you Hopeless glance; deep down I only want to be the same Now there's nowhere left to hide The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return I'm living such a life; therein lies your problem Imperfect, circular, entropy the fatal conclusion With a little sympathy it'll burn inside, let the fires decide Imperfect and circular I won't comfort you; no it won't be the same There's nowhere left to hide And I won't comfort you; no it won't be the same There's nowhere left to hide And I won't comfort you; no it won't be the same There's nowhere left to hide 02. Hexes
Is there something I should know
Of the colours that you show? I remember those words In the back of my mind There is an old phantom It isn't a secret this mind's shrouded in history It isn't a secret this mind spirals in disarray It isn't a secret this mind shudders in mystery It isn't a secret I find terror in memory Come close. Don't be afraid, It's stranger than you think Desperately opiate, weary Feverish host to us, teary eyed History hexes us History hexes us Don't look. Don't think Don't feel. Don't move. Don't breathe Don't make a sound. It lives. It breathes In my conscious mind (Rosebud don't change) It isn't a secret this mind's shrouded in history It isn't a secret this mind spirals in disarray It isn't a secret this mind shudders in mystery It isn't a secret I find terror in memory I live and breathe again These gory locks, don't you dare forget them Don't you dare. Don't you dare. History hexes us I breathe again History hexes us I live again 03. Survival
Will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow?
Will I disappear? Will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow? Will I disappear until I can't feel the light? Will I disappear with a memory of your sorrow? Will I disappear until I can't feel the light? Ten years of hope have past You felt alone and pictured life a little differently And people say that life has just begun You waited patiently, a lotus in the sun You radiate for me in luminescent light And people say that life has just begun When you're not a part of me I feel dead inside Disturbed; will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow Until I can't feel the light? Disturbed; when I get the feeling I've been here before I'm the abandoner Ten years of sorrow passed No pleasure in the sun You couldn't cope in all honesty The secrets of the past will come undone Seasons of change elapse Honour no mistrust Faithfully until the day you die And people say the journey's just begun When you're not a part of me I feel dead inside Disturbed; will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow Or will I fall? Disturbed, when I get the feeling I've been here before Disturbed, will I disappear with a vision of tomorrow Or will I fall? Disturbed, when I get the feeling I've been here before I'm the abandoner 04. Tourniquet
I'll wait for you; run wild and aspire
Thrive, burn young fire When you say "fight back" our love won't tire Unweathered and untethered light I promise you and I will see it through You lay dreaming No time to sleep as I begin to weep Life is fleeting I tighten fast inside your tourniquet Stop the bleeding Your tenderness, your softened skin All I needed Your love is my tourniquet Learn to rise, contain the pressure This was supposed to be no miracle Bow down because I'm under pressure once again I promise you, I promise you Take my strength I honour you with everything Take my strength I promise you and I will see it through You lay dreaming? The endless light you shine on me All I needed 05. Utopia
Broken mirror on the wall, you give no reflection of me at all
Your wicked ways I won't understand, intoxicating weaker men Rusting scissors in the drawer pull me closer to a life no more Why am I so confused, unimpressed and unamused? No, something's not right. Open your arms to the sky. Focus the light It's a combination of numbers, oh and a set of missing keys I've been painting pictures but the colors disagree And bad things come in threes The wind is blowing I am falling through a hurricane as buildings tear up from the ground No way of knowing where I'm going, circulating through the wildest night Given to the sudden urges for more Something's not right. Open your arms to the sky. Focus the light I've been, I've been painting pictures I can't, I just can't taste of freedom I've been, I've been painting pictures Stuck in a room full of voices, with nobody to be seen I can sense the danger as the colors now agree And the picture is obscene The wind is blowing I am falling through a hurricane as buildings tear up from the ground I can't, I just can't taste of freedom I've been, I've been painting pictures Tempted and enticed, I neglected Eden You know that I can't, I just can't (can't) taste the freedom Give me forgiveness, total regression, remedy Double the vision, triple the tension, trickery Total division, given destruction, synergy Double the vision now Give me devotion, total remission, remedy Double the vision, triple the tension, trickery Total division, given destruction, synergy Give me devotion now Give me forgiveness, total regression, remedy Double the vision, triple the tension, trickery Total division, given destruction, synergy Double the vision, how? 06. Phoenix
You exist and you're a friend of mine
Will we ever live in harmony? You're alive; it's not the end of the line Will we ever learn? Cynical; the generations were abandoned here No life is ever fair When the mechanical fires are raging The revolution's here I can breathe again. I choose to never let go or lose control See through the sights of a rifle Live through the eyes of a child Walk through the mind of minor to extol I must change because I've been chasing shadows Change. Immersed in the night, desperate and taken Change. Run with the pride of a lion You exist and you're a friend of mine Will you ever live in harmony? You're alive; it's not the end of the line Will we ever learn? I'm a failure; I'm the wreckage in the storm I'm enlightened; unafraid I am reborn Cynical; the generations were abandoned here No life is ever fair When the mechanical fires are raging The revolution's here 07. Messenger
Your smile's giving me all that you know
I'm your design Voices explode in the dark Don't shoot the messenger It's not our fault Your words weighing me down Smother me I'm your design Do you know I'd take an empty road? But it's too dangerous to explore Is your world much safer than before Because I don't feel whole? Destroy entire worlds [2x] Enter into the sound I'll behave for you Casting fear into doubt I was made for you Apathetic interaction Another distraction A lack of compassion For the weak that you don't see Hopelessly I Can you see the flood? Can you feel the urgency? Can you see the sunset Behind the willow tree? Apathetic interaction Another distraction A lack of compassion For the weak that you don't see 08. Cages
No little secrets left to compare
No feelings left for me to dare No worries left for me to despair, only emptiness Enticed by the familiar candlelight I see swaying up ahead You ask, "Was it all for nothing, do you trust in me...are you special?" You're the menace of the night, inquisitive to my request And I ask, "Do you have the discretion, assiduity, freedom?" I knew that it was wrong to believe I was letting go And I can't deal with the vice below And I knew that it was wrong; I denied you all along You dissipate while I became an isolated fool I am the prisoner You disappear while I'm left here stuck in isolation This is abandoned love You dissipate. I'm full of hate without a hope and vision To disappear into a cage of solitude; this is abandoned love You dissipate without a hope and vision You are the prisoner You disappear into isolation Build your cages Cage of solitude Build your cages Cage of solitude 09. Seven Names
Here I can breathe again
I left it all behind to watch the days go by Now I can breathe again I choose to never let go So take your time, concentrate Know the clock is ticking - don't be late Stand your ground, do your worst Fragile frame, minor world Take your time, prove your worth Don't look behind, you'll make it worse Why won't you forgive me? I was so alone, soaking to the bone How could you forgive me? Was I pitiful, unforgivable? Unholiest, irreverent, immoral son Ungodly one |
