Stood there leaning to the city moon,
Casting silhouettes tall to grip her white rooms The black-clad voyeur in his black-clad masque In the serpentine sun of tragedy basked Stood there cursing at the soul-dead mass With their fabled illusions, the vain dreams that passed Splinters of a life rushing by in the whirl Alone, silent warrior in a fantasy world He cried for night / but night could not come So, swept in the shroud of misanthropia he went away And fed the empty galleries With the artifacts of the black rain Sunken into the shadows with a dry, sardonic smile He made the footprints a part of his heart To rouse a sacred confrontation Stood there carving on the monument to lies Digging of the Earth, making friends with the soil As the all-mother rises and bares her bleeding thighs He disappears into her cold and icy womb |

You'll never be alone again
You'll never die again You'll never be born again You'll forever be, stuck here in eternity I bid you welcome to my world They call me existence You have just entered through the gate, to your journey towards the eternity This part I control In the beginning you'll fear nothing As I climb beside you time will be your master in this laborious part of human subsistence This part I control Black clouds embraces your soul Slowly passing through repeating lacunas of anguish When time takes your life I will transfer you into the bare grip of thinking tranquillity Voices frilling the emptiness of the dead Floating seamless across the surface into chilling stillness Nothing can help you now You'll never be alone again You'll never die again You'll never be born again You'll forever be, stuck here in eternity |

To slit the grinning wounds
from childhood's seven moons the palette stained with the ejaculated passions (of forbidden, hedonistic colors...) Strike from omnipotence; all-seer, all-deemer and haunt my severed country with your dripping, secret games You pick the unripe lilies deflored and peeled the bleeding petals made known to me the grainy stains, the crimson lotus of the Black-Ash Inheritance, the semen feed of gods and masters The worms still in me, still a part of me, racing out from leaking rooms, swoop from broken lungs to block the transmission to put an end to the nomad years Father you are the dead god in me |

Towards the lack diorama You are the artist and the texture That plays with mantle of the earth When the bleakest of powders Lie rooted to the starched stones And the roots that feed the peaking trees embrace the sleeping stones Archaic pearls of sleep and death The voice of December losing its breath As the floweryard of white and grey is haunted, is haunted White as the down of flaking snow The heroic emblems of life Green is the colour of my death As in winter-guise I swoop towards the ground Green is the landscape of my sorrowfilled passing Archaic pearls of sleep and death The voice of December losing its breath As the floweryard of white and grey is haunted, is haunted White as the down of flaking snow The heroic emblems of life We Are In Flames Towards the dead archaic heavens We Are The Mantle and The Texture The alters, the mantle of the earth Archaic pearls of sleep and death The voice of December losing its breath As the floweryard of white and grey is haunted, is haunted White as the down of flaking snow The heroic emblems of life |

your garmet alive with your song I lie in your soother arms, lord Hypnos Steep the spiral to your far abode, in the wake of slumber, on visions I rode and fell like history through the chasm of ages into the charged, forbidden zones How I have searched through a million worlds and faces yet unaware, I have not found my own true face, traceless and profound So, find me in these grandiose halls where long ago summers eternally fall and tune the strings of truthful longing to the frozen music of gods Hypnagonia's lucid horizons play with the yearning I've quelled as I strike towrads the Pantheon and what therein is held |

Collecting the tragedies still Hollow ambitions in a hollow mind Carried my cross to the hill And how I lust for the dance and the fire Deep of the nectarine sunset to drink Spill me the wind and its fire To steal of the colors I’m the Moonshield Shattered hope became my guide And grief and pain my friends A brother pact in a blood-ink pen Declared my silent end Naked and dying under worlds of silent stone Reaching for the Moonshield that once upon us shone Naked and dying under worlds of silent stone Reaching for the Moonshield that once upon us shone How I lust for the dance and the fire Deep of the nectarine sunset to drink Spill me the wind and its fire To steal of the colors I am...

Rush faster on the one-way lane
The answers so silent Rusty gods in their machine-mind armours Grind our souls in the millstone of time The deathbed harvest is a dead man's banquet Of mold ridden bread and black, poisoned wine And we go...our steps so silent And we go...our blooded trace The Jester Race Calling out to the gathered masses Their answers so silent And we go... Embracing the tools of the neo-wolf age That speak of silence and silence alone Offering the tokens, the reliced idols To the heirs of the newly raped ground Inferior even to the transparent winds Lesser in the motion and sound And we go... There is no trace of me In their altered blueprints of life Gala impaled on their horns and lances The fumes from her body give chase As the strong of blind men savour the scent, Dream-dead from Prosaic and hate Sunwind strokes the ElectroHeart, Ignition roars through the corridors, Stream launching the binary vessels Vanities in extreme formations Ride into tomorrow's rigid great face The Machinery outlives the futile scripts Of our dying jester race |

Seals a contract From the contract There's no turning back The turning point Of a career In Korea being insincere The holiday Was fun packed The contract: Still intact The grabbing hands Grab all they can All for themselves After all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The graph On the wall Tells the story Of it all Picture it now See just how The lies and deceit gained a little more power Confidence taken in By a sun tan And a grin The grabbing hands Grab all they can All for themselves After all It's a competitive world Everything counts in large amounts The grabbing hands Grab all they can Everything counts in large amounts |

introduces itself to the concept of total loneliness Sensations repressed make friends with Suicidia and here the leeches begin to suck away the lust for life Thus Escape takes lead into a world unknown uncontrolled by all where border are erased and potential infinite Chosen cells glands and transmittors blast the body with joy Astral feet running up to dimension covered with gold stairs of glowing ectoplasma safir onyx and buzzing vibrations A dead man banquet food for the gods There's only 1 real world our earth is but a shadow Created from a child's heart a living jewel from now on abode for a soul in its setting Now sutting the bloodline re-tie the bleeding roots to a heavenly ship of glass and let it drift in passive arrogance in a one-word dialogue with the stars |

I remember it as plain as day
although it happened in the dark of the night. I was strolling through the streets of Paris and it was cold it was starting to rain. And then I heard a piercing scream and I rushed to the scene of the crime but all I found was the butchered remains of two girls lay side by side. Murders in the Rue Morgue someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue run before the killers go free There's some people coming down the street at last there's someone heard my call I can't understand why they're pointing at me I never done nothing at all. But I must have got some blood on my hands because everyone's shouting at me I can't speak French so I couldn't explain and like a fool I started running away. Murders in the Rue Morgue someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue am I ever gonna be free. And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law. All France is looking for me. I've gotta find my way across the border for sure down the south to Italy. Murders in the Rue Morgue someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home. Well I made it to the border at last But I can't erase the scene from my mind Anytime somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind Well I'm moving through the shadows at night Away from the staring eyes Any day they'll be looking for me 'Cause I know I show the signs of... Murders in the Rue Morgue running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue running from the arms of the law Murders in the Rue Morgue running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue am I ever gonna be free It took so long and I'm getting so tired I'm running out of places to hide Should I return to the scene of the crime Where the two young victims died If I could go to somebody for help It'd get me out of trouble for sure But I know that it's on my mind That my doctor said I've done it before. Murders in the Rue Morgue they're never gonna find me Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home. |

Pushed aside with no time to evolve.. There's no place that still remains Just deserted space all left in grey Why did we lose, the knowledge of time? Is this the price, the hell we pay? The poisoned fear known to man is he who try to find his path The collective force blaming you "This is day day we split in half" Thrown to the gallow, forgotten and sore sworn to be different in what way I can The sultry taste that is special to me is the last gleeful glimpse of a bitter man Down and troubled, in search for better days Back to the beginning, I'm at the end again All my time, compressed to itching moments as the future repeats today So impressed, lost the faith in all I had Broken down, I'm on my way to be dissolved The hopes and prays of things to come I've lost them all with glory Urgent to aim for that short-lived joy I see gold in all that lies before me And so we ignore the baggers cup Praise your act in the Grand Finale Teach the unborn the winners sign a welcome grin to the world Royal Down and troubled, in search for better days Back to the beginning, I'm at the end again All my time, compressed to itching moments as the future repeats today Down and troubled, in search for better days Back to the beginning, I'm at the end again All my time, compressed to itching moments as the future repeats today |

i've tried confidence, had it breakfast today i've lost the perfection,a mess without words (and) as the seasons change i'll continue to ignore the image i project - me without me the picture that i scanned is borrowed after the education you stopped making sense to me seems to me that it's all the same, time and time again slowly, all that i believed in, turning into a lie to aim and miss, my supernatural art spending to much time with myself trying to explanin who i am how come it's possible i wish there was a way (suddenly) i feel so invinsible i'm the sculpture made out of clay i need someone to break the silence before it all falls apart i need something to cling onto before i break you in parts so afraid of what you may think and all the plastic people that surrounds me i have to find the path to where it all begins to teach the world my supernatural art |

I can't tolerate your sadness
Cause it's me you are drowning I won't allow any happiness Cause everytime you laugh, I feel so... guilty I feel so guilty Am I forced to have any regret I've become the lie, beautiful and free In my righteous own mind I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me Sell me the infection, it is only for the weak No need for a sympathy, the misery that is me I've lost the ability to paint the clouds Cause it's me you're draining I'm stuck in this slow-motion dark tale Cause everytime you run, I fall.. behind I fall behind And so I hear my voice again The tale of the bitter man here I am Shake the silence and hear what it says The tranquil pride that become the lie Sell me the infection, it is only for the weak No need for a sympathy, the misery that is me Sell me the infection, it is only for the weak On bleeding knees, oh, I accept my fate |

As I aim for that bright white day
Conflict serum is my aura It seems that life's so fragile I guess I'll fly some other time I lack from superhighway thoughts Won't live as long as the city lights Soaked by underwater times Electric splash on a midnight drive Wish I could rape the day just something radical Lost the sense of sweet things Who's gonna take me widely? Guided by the pinball map The driver, still unknown to me Who was sent to glorify? Before we injected this common pride Sometimes I don't belong Release me from your world Pacified by the small things in life I wait for earthquakes to rearrange Never been able to use the force I only have it read to me Despite all the misguided faith I'll find a place in this mess Wish I could rape the day just something radical Lost the sense of sweet things Who's gonna take me widely? Guided by the pinball map The driver, still unknown to me Who was sent to glorify? Early morning moments A glimpse of joy But soon it's over And I return to dust As I try to be Everything and everyone I shrivel up and waste away -Solo- Wish I could rape the day just something radical Lost the sense of sweet things Who's gonna take me widely? Guided by the pinball map The driver, still unknown to me Who was sent to glorify? Before we injected this common pride |

For all the times you left me bleeding
Clouded, weakened by the haze Cut off my pride, enough to forgive Reconcile, back to square nothing It seems I lost my direction Don't have the strength to let it slip Have no desire for the shore Just let me play here for some time Spent some quality time with the demon of mine I like the way you struggle but you know I'm here to win Is this how I want to spend my days? Shadowed, it fears me, my utopia Try to find some peace to destroy These are my sins, I'm heading to fall Never understood though I accepted All the weakness that I discover You gave me a place to hide and lost the key Drowned my head just to see it sink (to the bottom) Spent some quality time with the demon of mine I like the way you struggle but you know I'm here to win Spent some quality time with my borrowed smile The gleam is replaced, rip me open and erase me Spent some quality time with the demon of mine I like the way you struggle but you know I'm here to win Spent some quality time with my borrowed smile The gleam is replaced, rip me open and erase me |

One lie was all it took everything ended right there
You didn't seem to care One lie I walked away weight on my shoulders was heavy Barrel to my head Will you give me a good excuse Will you let me die right here and now ? I can't think of another way But I'm open to any good advice Everything is falling apart Trying hard to be strong and smart One day was all it took Start to get back on my feet heart begin to beat One week I'm feeling great dancing around in the street Feeling young and free Will you give me a good excuse Will you let me die right here and now ? I can't think of another way But I'm open to any good advice Everything is falling apart Trying hard to be strong and smart |

The self-inflicted state of mind
A one-man struggle beneath the tower I think the clock still exist God just forgot to tap my shoulder I woke up today I wish I felt something The odour of my apathy Just might be true I want to be the things I see The pilgrim that is me But I know I ain't that free The suburban that is me Spirits rise and miss the eye Covered by the stench of judgement As gods reflection tests my pride I serve the failure that's haunting me Twisted visions torturing Who claims to be the one? That filtered smile Just might be true I want to be the things I see The pilgrim that is me But I know I ain't that free The suburban that is me Can you hear the message As I wrestle with the clouds? I'm on the way to succumb It just might be true |

As we build a brand new planet
Lets reconstruct and get it straight Unlock forgotten skills Travel to a new dimension Souls from the dark seduction We are the new invention We're the settlers of year zero Lets reconstruct and take it back Leaders of our time Heading for a downfall The threshhold of revolution The last freedom call Blanked out fire etched on the chrystal display The seas are deep You better swim Don't go numb Collect the word, add some gold and give it back The seas are deep You better swim Don't go numb From a thousand branches Spreading the new voice As we're heading for the throne Connect, evolution will begin |

Sick and tired Of all your complaints This is the hour We bring it down I've come to realize Every little glimpse, you fade I was told that I could fly When least expected, cloud connected You seem to be So introverted How come we fail? With all that is given? You crossed the line You remember my name Time runs backwards As long as you are heading that way |

Held down, strangled and abused
Cut down to half a member Left with his hand tied Everything points in the wrong direction All the joy disappeared The negative has penetrated Once he was in control What's left, the faintest laughter (Chorus) We're out of focus, we've lost control I blame our ego and you call me names You're told that you are trapped below And dark signs helped to prove You got to reach further For what life has provide Feeling pressure from the fold He believes the dream is over Drained blue eye, scorching fire The whole meaning becomes undone (Chorus) We're out of focus, we've lost control I blame our ego and you call me names You're told that you are trapped below And dark signs helped to prove You got to reach further For what life has provide (Chorus) We're out of focus, we've lost control I blame our ego and you call me names You're told that you are trapped below And dark signs helped to prove You got to reach further For what life has provide |

Dawn Of A New Day

Dismiss The Cynics
by In Flames Will we find a solution when we add all the numbers? Like they are supposed to be? But no one is close...start all over If we fail our expectations We fall into the deepest void Is there no limit to how many times we will dust ourselves off? What does it take for sanity to reamin? Dismiss the cynics...maybe... The mystery of time Listen to me carefully The mystery of time It's you and me That's all we need Would you choose supremacy if it led to isolation? Could you handle the solitude? Would you still prefer the throne? The mystery of time Listen to me carefully The mystery of time! Listen to me, carefully! |

It’s hard to believe You could be such a disease I can no longer separate what is real Hope that fate will find me safe All my reflections laugh at me You made me hide my name It just feels bad to say, That there’ll be another day What you wanted was impossible to define The words I hear are of scrambled letters Guess it’s been there for years Never let me know, I was alright What you wanted is a mystery to me Building a room with no doors Is this the last of me? Wring the rag for the last few drops Falling into infinity

Now try to dodge this roar. Unified is the most forceful way to go. Waste this one? It's up to you! We need this revolution. Destroy the pattern, anything that separates Across the times, who dares to follow? For years we wandered these circles Hold on to whatever lie gets us through Design new latitudes Find ways to channel bliss. Us defined is too fragile to neglect. Reroute to remain. Reroute to remain! Never want to look back in greed Can I please have your attention? There are mountains to cross For all that are willing There are never ending treasures that await you. For years we wandered these circles Hold on to whatever lie gets us through Design new latitudes Find ways to channel bliss. Us defined is too fragile to neglect. Reroute to remain.

I can not frame, that’s why I lose control I aim, I stumble and I fall Our adaptation can’t be faithful Your world does not attract me This is the end you see There is no more truth in me As if you would deserve it You are my enemy I can’t ignore the way you make me bleed I hate when you throw my thoughts against the wall Got to wake up and make a stand The desperation forces another mistake I count again….I know who to blame My life in vain Who said I was sane Follow your instinct It usually takes you home Don’t let these words tear you down You see me hanging by the end of the rope I tell you……Slow I go And the wait seems to be over. All I know Is that my life has become such a waste for you I blame and run, sadly all too often I dive into the day without your sympathy I tend to try but lack the focus Becoming a distant memory What once was is quickly forgotten All wrapped up inside Delete all resemblance I feel your relief

Transparent
by In Flames Consume all the obscene Persuade the most hideous and ugly Under every pile and stone. A rebirth, for you to find Freedom is to be able to go in any direction So take the uncertain path One foot in the open Ten feet ahead Build your own ladder And don't lie to yourself. Secrets left above the grave It's not for one to keep. You're all so self destructive Spend more time with the broken You know you lost when you feel transparent Be at one with the wind (ever changing) Even if it's a struggle Make this your priority Open all your senses to new impressions Act like all that was has vanished One foot in the open Ten feet ahead Build your own ladder And don't lie to yourself. Secrets left above the grave It's not for one to keep. You're all so self destructive Spend more time with the broken See what became of their mistake You know you lost when you feel transparent One foot in the open Ten feet ahead Build your own ladder And don't lie to yourself. Secrets left above the grave It's not for one to keep. You're all so self destructive Spend more time with the broken See what became of their mistake You know you lost when you feel transparent You know you lost You know you lost You really know you lost when you feel transparent |

Collecting the tragedies still Hollow ambitions in a hollow mind Carried my cross to the hill And how I lust for the dance and the fire Deep of the nectarine sunset to drink Spill me the wind and its fire To steal of the colors I’m the Moonshield Shattered hope became my guide And grief and pain my friends A brother pact in a blood-ink pen Declared my silent end Naked and dying under worlds of silent stone Reaching for the Moonshield that once upon us shone Naked and dying under worlds of silent stone Reaching for the Moonshield that once upon us shone How I lust for the dance and the fire Deep of the nectarine sunset to drink Spill me the wind and its fire To steal of the colors I am...

Cause all you fucks are in my way So drop her off this route Take'em some far place, watch them feed Seal the signs of the borders We are here to bend Penetrate the outlines Lightness of color They say the world is struggling But we are stuck upside down Imaginary reality Suffer from make-believe I'll chance the fate Take'em some far place, watch them feed They say the world is struggling But we are stuck upside down No purpose, No scorn, No sorrow will be wasted on you |

I really don't have anything to say
Just pass me by Don't ask me the same questions Just deny I'm there Like the time around me This room is filled with nothing Fell awkward in a place with many Leave this space to me I channel the pain through this The paper, the pen, your eyes To stare into what's next It frightens me No control, no reward Still and breathless I don't care what's behind To you I look for energy To catch my breath again I channel the pain through this The paper, the pen, your eyes To stare into what's next It frightens me No control, no reward I'm in circles again I'm in circles again The world looks old to me Tonight I drink myself sober Soon this could be over Tale a picture of the pale New morning knocking Feels just like always Pen down my regrets I reach to you again I channel the pain through this The paper, the pen, your eyes To stare into what's next It frightens me No control, no reward I'm in circles again I channel the pain through this The paper, the pen, your eyes To stare into what's next It frightens me No control, no reward I'm in circles again I'm in circles again I'm in circles again |

i've tried confidence, had it breakfast today i've lost the perfection,a mess without words (and) as the seasons change i'll continue to ignore the image i project - me without me the picture that i scanned is borrowed after the education you stopped making sense to me seems to me that it's all the same, time and time again slowly, all that i believed in, turning into a lie to aim and miss, my supernatural art spending to much time with myself trying to explanin who i am how come it's possible i wish there was a way (suddenly) i feel so invinsible i'm the sculpture made out of clay i need someone to break the silence before it all falls apart i need something to cling onto before i break you in parts so afraid of what you may think and all the plastic people that surrounds me i have to find the path to where it all begins to teach the world my supernatural art |

I'll always belong to the shadow
Don't show me new results I'll never enter your heaven Make the most out of my dirty cell Creeps infected by control That's what put me in here Dig deep don't think you ever get To the place where they buried me The last glimpse that I have Fragments, pieces of some things valuable even though it doesn't make sense anymore I release my last tear My frustration My conversation Why are we even here? the abuse That we use I do not longer care The cold worms and me We are all right We are free The dead light inside Fuel to new seed New world I hide When there are only my bones Please put them in use Want to be part of a new dawn The day darkness disappears Don't release these chains Never been closer to myself All your mistakes run through As I realize what we become The end is here to bid farewell I'll turn to ash and hear them sing Songs about my emotions dead and alone Don't make an effort You don't know me anyway |

Could it be a new day?
Fear in me so deep You push me out, I feel far The absence, close to me The otherside I crawl You push me out, I fall Heal my wounds with everything Away you complicate me Sick of cycles, drop to zero A while just like last times My least favourite re-run Sick of cycles, I bounce in grey Escape familiar home Memories remains alone Reality trapped inside The wicked descend - I hide Testing higher mentality I conquer myself through this A furious path to walk New space does exist beyond In silence I dwell Displeased Remain with the seed of unfulfilment Try to remove obstacles as they appear my master said Don't look too far, you'll stumble before you're even there |

I run this world alone
A song stuck in my mind Are you feeling alright? Don't mind if you ask me once Discover me like emptiness A defense for a broken heart Still offers a smile to the world betrayed... Always close to the drop Disapear with yesterday Cure this dream that makes me fall Blame me... Escape me... It was you who walked away Tie me... For my sake To the dream that haunts you Could never stand the middle Want to go far and further But something drags me down Shapes me... Forms me... Into delusion Always close to the drop Disapear with yesterday Cure this dream that makes me fall Blame me... Escape me... It was you who walked away Tie me... For my sake To the dream that haunts you As I bank other options Make this picture distant Signing off Leave me alone I blur you into the never... Always close to the drop Disapear with yesterday Cure this dream that makes me fall Blame me... Escape me... It was you who walked away Tie me... For my sake To the dream that haunts you |

We were one in words
You finished my sentences I could never attract tomorrow It pushes me aside I sink in waters deep Your presence kept me floating Far from depths where secrets lie Maybe in another lifetime I could be the first you meet I once read a poem Held my breath But that moment's gone First time I felt life somewhat hurts I need an option, a reason, and some hope Yell at me, I want to be your light that shines But my ground is shaking and I might fall I wish that I could say I wish that I could be your evil in a closet Yell at me, I want to be your light that shines But my ground is shaking and I might fall I wish that I could say I wish that I could be your evil in a closet |

I can be as angry as I want to be
Just watch me burn (need to be motivated) I think you're way to cold Just watch and learn I'll never sleep here anymore My house is not my home I like you better dead I'm better off alone Destiny will you cure me? Trust will you age with me? Hear me scream Destiny will you cure me? Hear me scream As I face tomorrow Your vision may be in colour But you look all pale In these times we should be learning But with you I'll always fail Destiny will you cure me? Trust will you age with me? Hear me scream Destiny will you cure me? Hear me scream As I face tomorrow I need to save myself before I drown It took so long to see The world your mind creates It Pushes me under Destiny will you cure me? Trust will you age with me? Hear me scream Destiny will you cure me? Hear me scream As I face tomorrow |

I'm selling heavenly sketches
A world out of my mind Ready to explode in purity To fill the holes inside An ever moving stream With glowing rays of light Emotions tied to past lies And I know I should let go Tamed with confidence of brighter future I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out Fueled these new shores burn Dark past lies cold Shadow, my sweet shadow To you I look no more Another dawn collapses Do I need to be reminded? A glimpse of my safe home A path to hide all anger I found a flame in the burnt out ashes... burn out, burn out Fueled these new shores burn Dark past lies cold Shadow, my sweet shadow To you I look no more In circles I catch A torch carried by the immortal From depths that I created In vain echoes fade Burn out Fueled these new shores burn Dark past lies cold Shadow, my sweet shadow To you I look no more. Fueled these new shores burn Dark past lies cold Shadow, my sweet shadow To you I look no more. |

I am the past
Future I've been chosen You think it's over But I'm ready to go I am what you fear I've been chosen The world as you know it just died It's the end of all time I am a surprise Even to myself I'm a genious Superhero of the computer rage In plastic I'll bury I am what you fear I've been chosen The world as you know it just died It's the end of all time Everything you say is denied I'll be the devil on this ride Dark clouds in your heaven Your end has only begun You can scream but the re's no rescue I promise I'll make you sure you die in time I am the maggot In your infected life No matter how hard you try I'll leave without a scar I am a legend In your infotainment life It's when I say it's over It's you who's been chosen |

Spinning further, deeper
I know you're out to try me I'm not in this to be a slave Push the dirt Make me feel Locate what swallows life Night bird, you build, build my world And then I close my eyes And then I close my eyes Judge me now Used to be afraid to let it show Bow down A king in my own mind Everything's in place So much brighter from today Drown the monster Make all bad dreams go away Whatever it takes to keep your hands free Open scars The quiet place All the bridges fall to the ground And you say you sacrificed And then I close my eyes And then I close my eyes Judge me now Used to be afraid to let it show Bow down (bow down) A king in my own mind Everything's in place So much brighter from today A king in my own mind (Judge me now) A king in my own mind (Judge me now) A king in my own mind (Judge me now) Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down (bow down) A king in my own mind Everything's in place So much better from today A king in my own mind... |

Reaching depths of clarity
I'm not supposed to be like this I should be on the top of the world Is anybody out there like me? I followed - something's missing Self control - forcing me down Whispers consume the air Above her I'm endless When the rain comes falling I'll freeze, I'm so afraid When things start to flood me I'll drown in seconds Fear - there's a way out Touch of red Break away Nothing has it all Bury the place I've been I fear there's a way out As if I ever had a choice All in the hands of the energy Once again I feel the quicksand Swallow me, tonight I won't struggle Fear - there's a way out Touch of red Break away Nothing has it all Bury the place I've been I fear there's a way out The weak in me should know I'm as sober as I could be Swallow me, tonight I won't struggle The weak in me should know I'm as sober as I could be |

We are creatures We leave her as we trust If you say this way I will take that way 'Til for the fire will it die Fry Spit me out I'm glad I don't belong Save me the speech You'll be forgotten and gone It burns It rips It hurts Leeches They preach to us Where's the wisdom from the crowd Spit me out I'm glad I don't belong Save me the speech You'll be forgotten and gone It burns It rips It hurts They made you believe Your turn The chance of a lifetime How does it feel to be alive Let's hear it for the bullet That can't be heard Pray to yours that I steal Spit me out I'm glad I don't belong Save me the speech You'll be forgotten and gone It burns It rips It hurts They made you believe Your turn (It hurts) The chance of a lifetime How does it feel to be alive |
