She has that fleeing-sideways glance Looks up and out in slight despair Nail my fears, burst my shields Raging fall, tender spring Her frightened eyes folded down To prove i'm silly like a clown And i feel that i need... Slow off her gaze Runaway, and flip of the sides Hold, hold her hand Knives and claws, kill the pain She has unflinching stare that shakes Full out of wisdom that i can't bear And i fear that i need...

Paralyzed 05:04
How can I restrain my urge? keep my vanity intact Voices dimmed and tend to blur Lost in here and paralyzed Trying hard to bear my pain, ease my burden every day Roaring in my empty shell No one seems to ever care Slowing down as if hell is waiting While you smile and lean back The wilted and blighted years hunt me now and then A scar that's never to fade How can I betray myself? feed my enemy instead Nothing here, biding to clash Rails still lead towards a maze

Insomniac 05:38
Have to give myself a rest, climb through Have to give myself a blink Dread to pull myself from bed, lying nude Hazy dreams and I'm awake I filled my veins with sleeping pills, unsure Sedated I watched and stared Shreds of sense still find their way, unglued Have to faint or doze away Hazy dreams and I'm awake, and what's new Have to give myself a blink A shadow grows inside the lamp, and fights through Have to beat my fear of dusk

Bleach 03:39
The blades are spinning once again, and cutting me out The smell of leaking gasoline that burns me out Few shades of smoke hangs motionless and fading out And turn back, filling up those holes that's left inside And when i bleach away the stains, squeaky-clean That’s when i realize again… It sucked me back! Feel so bent, no remorse With my nails drawing walls Feels like nature is betting on me again Here i stand and still waiting, how long can i stand?
5.
Wait, I just need one more hint Your voice endlessly disappears Friend is it really the end? Cold, shivering, still pale Days I go through, sealing off the past Dreaming you’re still near, hearing your steps Come lift me when I fall Safe, rest beneath your stone Friend is it really the end? Don't dissipate and fade...

My Animal 05:13
Surly! I am unbearable Thinking of the rage I'm keeping in while... I don't believe your poisoned words Visions I get are mad enough to kill you So I have to “fix you” now Defy or preach, deny or face Morbid ideas that are in everything Discharge my fears and I won't dare To please my animal Surly I came, unbridled Thinking of a way that I can beat my... I don't believe your phony tricks Visions I get are blurred enough to miss you So I have to “treat you right”

Wistful faces, eyes cast down again Bowed down head, I’ll say my little prayer When I wave my hand I cannot reach Call me cursed, I'm feeling okay Since I'm tamed I cannot feel a thing Trying my best to fill the emptiness When I see the flames I feel so real Call me cursed, I'm feeling okay White shirts, where can I be? do you have any plans? Did I pace in my sleep? am I lost in a haze? Pin down ears! I cannot hear a thing Drive myself to pull the trigger clasp When I sense the fear I get so thrilled Call me cursed, I'm feeling okay Run down Dementia fields Lucid head and thoughts Frail of reverie mist Losing grasp in all…

Empty Lines 04:10
Leading me into the room, you’re dimming Faded smile and placid eyes You’re hiding the news Silently we're staring at the ceiling Blinking eyes against the light Ignoring the truth Painlessly you're lying on a stretcher Watching you, fading out Calm and subdued I never thought it’ll end up with you leaving Empty lines that never end That’s all i can say Quietly you fall asleep and drifting Precious moments lost in time, that's all i have left
9.
Mud 05:03
We’re drifting apart while paddling back Trying to row but land is away And we are deep in the shoal struggling all of this All that mud And we can really look far, into the sea Really look for waves that are deep And in a glimpse of a smile Fall off and drown away All our hopes Wail out of your soul Reaping it all again, seeds of shame Left out of the road Such a deceiving play, witless game We’re living in glass house, armed and betrayed Trying to spot when fame turns to shade And we are leaves in the fall struggling all of this All that mud And we can really look far, beyond the screen Really look for days that are dimmed And in a blink of an eye Fall off and runaway Roll the dice Such a deceiving play we’re in... such a deceiving play we’re in...
10.
Hidden Flaw 04:34
Wake Time to go Fame struck your soul There's one who glows Rest are too dull Even if you're mad There's a hidden flaw we share, forlorn hope....
