01. Insane

Lies

Things keep ending up this way (Come and get off)
Another notch is carved away
In the thoughts of mass decay
Funny how things end up this way

Beaten down, dominated by its sound
Growing deep within my head
Softly dying, its soul is shed
Eating me all up inside, this cancer finds everything I hide
Living my life horrified
Nothing will keep this pacified and out my life

Lies
Does nobody know I'm insane?

Satisfaction is delayed (Come and get off)
Its motivation is displayed
Finding its misogyny
Funny how I die and go away (Come and get off)

Beaten down, dominated by its sound
Growing deep within my head
Softly dying, its soul is shed
Eating me all up inside, this cancer finds everything I hide
Living my life horrified
Nothing will keep this pacified and out my life

Lies
Does nobody know I'm insane?

I'm constantly beat up inside
And I'm the one to blame
No one can relate to me
Does nobody know I'm insane?

Does nobody know I'm insane?
Does nobody know I'm insane?
Does nobody know I'm insane?

Does nobody know I'm insane?
Does nobody know I'm insane?
Does nobody know I'm insane?
Does nobody know I'm insane?

Beaten down, dominated by its sound
Living my life horrified
Nothing will keep this pacified and out my life

Beaten down, dominated by its sound
Growing deep within my head
Softly dying, its soul is shed
Eating me all up inside, this cancer finds everything I hide
Living my life horrified
Nothing will keep this pacified and out my life

Lies
Does nobody know I'm insane?
Does nobody know I'm insane?

02. Rotting In Vain

I wouldn't be angry if you just fucking cried
Your tears would arouse me, refreshing my supply
The suffering is fading, I scream into the sky
Repulsion invades me, I say goodbye

Digging deep inside of me
Getting past this agony
I can't seem to get away
Another day rotting in vain

I wouldn't be angry if things would stay the same
You're fighting the torment that helps me feed my pain
The suffering is fading, I scream into the sky
Repulsion invades me, I say goodbye

Digging deep inside of me
Getting past this agony
I can't seem to get away
Another day rotting in

I can't take this
I can't fuck this
I can't fake this

Digging deep inside of me
Getting past this agony
I can't seem to get away
Another day rotting in

Digging deep inside of me
Getting past this agony
I can't seem to get away
Another day rotting in vain

03. Black Is The Soul

As it all falls down, you will walk away
Or you will stand my ground and accept my faith

I'm made of faceless cries, that twists my every dream
And almost every night I hear the demon sing

Why are we going on this way?
Why do we play these games in vain?
Nothing's gonna break it down and build us back again
So why do go back that could leave this way?
Black is the soul that's led astray
You're leading me to places I can never follow

Happiness is found in darkest ways
And as I searched around, I've made nothing but mistakes

I'm made of faceless cries, that twists my every dream
And almost every night I hear the demon sing

Why are we going on this way?
Why do we play these games in vain?
Nothing's gonna break it down and build us back again
So why do go back that could leave this way?
Black is the soul that's led astray
You're leading me to places I can never follow

And when you scream you push me so much further and
And when I leave, I always would walk back again
And when you cry the tears are cleansing bitterness
I'm out of time, I'm slowly dying give me back my life!

Just give me back my life
Just give me back my life
Just give me back my life
Just give me back my life

Why are we going on this way?
Why do we play this game
Nothing's gonna break it down and build us back again
So why do go back that could leave this way?
Black is the soul that's led astray
You're leading me to places I can never follow

As it all falls down, you will walk away
Or you will stand my ground, there's nothing left to say

04. The Hating

The hating, it's pulled inside of me
They're trying to test my sanity
It's in there waiting, it's all make believe
And they're ripping the child within me

Cheating the time that I have left
My soul cause it's at the beginning
Giving back all that I can give
Controlling my mind that is disease
Holding, my hate that is released
Scolding the hand that keeps me fed
That keeps me fed
That keeps me fed
That keeps me

I feel it all come crashing down on me
I feel alone and torn apart
I wasted time to let it get to me
An angry mouth with a broken heart

Searching for something that is safe
Hurting my pride that is detest
Turning my anger towards your flesh
Rotting, we're hoping ain't that bad
Spilling the blood that's on the bed
Scolding the hand that keeps me fed
The hand that keeps me fed

I feel it all come crashing down on me
I feel alone and torn apart
I wasted time to let it get to me
An angry mouth with a broken heart

The hating, it's pulled inside of me
They're trying to test my sanity
It's in you waiting, it's all make believe
And they're ripping the child within me
The hating, it's pulled inside of me
They're trying to test my sanity
It's in you waiting, it's all make believe
And they're ripping the child within me

No!

05. A Different World

I dream of the past, so I can break through
The walls I have built inside
The thoughts I can't grasp, transparent, see through
They constantly fight and collide

I'd love to see a different world
A place where you can't find me

Feel me, kill me, my back's up against the wall
Your magic spell doesn't work anymore
Kill me, kill me, that's what you've got to face, my friend (my friend)
This ain't the end (the end)

Why can't I relax and let it be true?
This world that I try to hide
It's kind of a mess, too reckless for you
This place makes me feel alive

I'd love to see a different world
A place where you can't find me

Feel me, kill me, my back's up against the wall
Your magic spell doesn't work anymore
Kill me, kill me, that's what you've got to face, my friend (my friend)
This ain't the end (the end)

The call of the purpose is the change in behavior
And that is all we can sense of the strangers
It gets on top of you and forces your perspective
Then you know it, can feel it, it's as dark as you can get

You want it harder, harder, harder
Give it to you harder, harder, harder
You just want it harder, harder, harder
Give it to you harder, harder, harder
I don't think you'll ever get it

Feel me, kill me, my back's up against the wall
Your magic spell doesn't work anymore
Kill me, kill me, that's what you've got to face, my friend (my friend)
This ain't the end (the end)

06. Take Me

You bumped into me
I was down and you took me up past the ceiling
You are the disease
I'm the remedy that numbs all your feelings
You come lookin' for me
I'm the only one that keeps you sound
I bring you down to your knees
'Cos I'm the only that makes you, you, you-you!

Take me
Please take me
It's the only way
Please take me

You came after me
I'm not worth anything if I'm not inside you
Only you can truly see
All the hell you put me through when the fish is feeding
Can't really make a break
'Cos every time I run away, you hunt me down
You can't ever be me
'Cos every time I turn around it's you, you, you, it's you

Take me
Please take me
It's the only way
Please take me

I feel it dulling, I feel it helping me
It's taking everything all up away from me
I feel it ripping, I feel it scarring me
This shit has made me cry to all reality
I feel it calling
I feel it calling
It's calling me

Go!
Away
Away
Go!
Away
Away

Take me
Please take me
It's the only way
Please take me

Take me
Please take me
It's the only way
Please take me

07. Everything Falls Apart

Close your eyes, fall asleep!
Broken promises that you never keep!
Drift away tonight!
Just drift away tonight!
We used to dream, we used to laugh!
No one could tell us that this would never last!
This ain't a love song!
I would never give you one!

No more secrets, no more lies!
No more feelings or surprise!
No more whispered words or lullabies!
Go fuck your lies!

Everything, everything falls with us!
Everything, everything always does!
Everything, everything falls all apart!

I've given up, it's all I could take!
My hands are shaking, my body could break!
I will be lonely now!
Come on and take me out!
I used to care, I used to try!
But what's the use it always ends with goodbye!
This ain't a love song!
I'd never give you one!

No more secrets, no more lies!
No more feelings or surprise!
No more whispered words or lullabies!
Go fuck your lies!

Everything, everything falls with us!
Everything, everything always does!
Everything, everything falls all apart!

There is nothing in my head!
(There is a voice in my head)...
There is nothing, there's nothing!
In my head!

Everything, everything falls with us!
Everything, everything always does!
Everything, everything falls all apart!

All apart!
All apart!
These are voices in my head!...

08. Die Yet Another Night

Sick of all these things I tried
Sick of all these lies
(Nobody cares you're just a bad man
Nobody wants you're a dead man)
Wake me from my darkest dream
Read me from my mind
(Nobody cares you're just a bad man
Nobody wants you're a dead man)

No problem I've got time to kill
(Nobody cares you're just a bad man
Nobody wants you're a dead man)
Slave everyone
I've had my fill
(Nobody cares you're just a bad man
Nobody wants you're a dead man)

Do what you say, do want you want to
Do what you say, do want you want to
Do what you say, do want you want to
Do what you say, do want you want to

We rip upon the flesh and lift to see
And looking on all the faces along the way
The terror grips me closely and holds me tight
And hope I get to
Die yet another night

Throw a wrench into my world
Throw me in the fire
(Nobody cares you're just a bad man
Nobody wants you're a dead man)
Death come over to me one time
We should get much higher
(Nobody cares you're just a bad man
Nobody wants you're a dead man)
No problem I've got time to kill
(Nobody cares you're just a bad man
Nobody wants you're a dead man)
Slave everyone I've got my fill
(Nobody cares you're just a bad man
Nobody wants you're a dead man)

Do what you say, do want you want to
Do what you say, do want you want to
Do what you say, do want you want to
Do what you say, do want you want to

We rip upon the flesh and lift to see
And looking on all the faces along the way
The terror grips me closely and holds me tight
And hope I get to
Die yet another night

Don't get close to me
Safe for you
All this suffering left to do
Don't get close to me
Safe for you
All this suffering left to do
All this suffering left to do
All this suffering left to do

We rip upon the flesh and lift to see
And looking on all the faces along the way
The terror grips me closely and holds me tight
And hope I get to
Die yet another night

We rip upon the flesh and lift to see
And looking on all the faces along the way
The terror grips me closely and holds me tight
And hope I get to
Die yet another night

09. When You're Not There

It's a pretty thing there to hold your head
It's like the sanity is hanging on a thread
The flesh is cold and needs some nails
And the look you give, it never fails

I love the way you hurt me
I love that you don't care
My love is dark and twisted
And I scream when you're not there

It's the interesting way, it fills my brain
It's been beneath my eyes, but never the same
I love it when you're heavy and crack a smile
The best is when you make it last a while

I love the way you hurt me
I love that you don't care
My love is dark and twisted
And I scream when you're not there

Can't seem to get away
This ghost I'll never find
It haunts me 'til this day
I can't get back my mind

I love the way you hurt me
I love that you don't care
My love is dark and twisted
And I scream when you're not there

10. Next In Line

It hurts to breathe but I don't care
The weight of the world, the thoughts I couldn't bear
The city sleeps, I'm making plans
The less you know, the better understand

Then I look and see that place
It fools me every time
Digging deeper pulls me under
Am I wasting time, or next in line?

I pace and fret, my blood, it burns
The reason we know but still we never learn
The clocks stand still, my legs grow weak
It says it's done, I beg it not to speak

Then I look and see that place
It fools me every time
Digging deeper pulls me under
Am I wasting time, or next in line?

First you're gonna get your memory, you're a fucking fray
Never wanna, never gonna end up in that display

Then I look and see that place
It fools me every time
Digging deeper pulls me under
Am I wasting time, or next in line?
Then I look and see that place
It fools me every time
Digging deeper pulls me under
Am I wasting time, or next in line?

11. Please Come For Me

Alone and come undone
As my tears create a sea
Haven't been awake so long
At the devil's waiting for me

Right now if you could see
Right now attacking me
Hold on, dance with me
You'll never get to me

Take a look around
Help me
I see this losing little face
Staring at me

In another way disease been torn
The depression's ecstacy
Haven't been awake so long
The devil's coming for me

Right now if you could see
Right now attacking me
Hold on, dance with me
You'll never get to me

Take a look around
Help me
I see this losing little face
Staring at me
Looking for that special sound
That's coming for me
It's never gonna take me down
Please come for me, please come for me

Please come for me, please come for me
Please come for me, please come for me
Please come for me, please come for me
Please come for me

That I can't fake

Take a look around
Help me
I see this losing little face
Staring at me
Looking for that special sound
That's coming for me
It's never gonna take me down
Please come for me, please come for me

They are coming
They are coming
They are coming
They are coming
They are coming
