It Ends Now

The day should come when all you knew would cease to be the same
The world you had been living in, was thrown in flames
But oh so strange, noone else could see this fiery hell
They just kept on living like all were well
Unchanged, unfazed by this dystopean scene
They left you all alone, to face a reality so grim
But then again it was just you who saw through all the lies
Hell was the exact same world, just seen through your own eyes
Alienated or pretending everything was fine
Playing a role, you felt, could get you through this life
The martyrdom begins
There's none to blame for this
The judgement falls on thee
The flames just you can see
Hiding inside your made up world, pretending fire doesn't burn
Telling people what they wanna hear, the sound of your own voice you'd forget
Like the lies you let, the burns on your skin piled up
Did you think that if you'd wait, the fires one day would die out
You pushed your self beyond the point of no return
You thought you'd get away with murder, so full of your self
A fool indeed is what is left of whom you used to be
You shut your self to kill the pain, but couldn't you see?
The object of your hate had been your own mind
You came so close to ending your life, but now you'll find
Every breath you took was meant for you to come this far
The stars alligned but they were against you from the start
What are you still afraid of, what's left for you to lose now?
The terrors you've tasted, hell's just your playground
So let the fires burn
Let them keep you warm
Surely now you've learned
Rejoice in hell on earth

Third Party Perspective
03:11

I think I know how you react
In your everyday public outings
And up to this day now, have you ever been
More than just satisfied with your social status?
Social relevance defines your self
Third party perspective rules your ways
It's so much more than just obeying rules
And it never gave me peace of mind
Some may seem like a dream of utmost wealth
Citizens of a utopia, unite in one self
Just stop and think whom you're doing this for
What if social pressure defined us all
Then wouldn't we all be exactly like you?
Is that how we seem to you?
Let me tell you about the ones you admire
Is it so hard to see they're all just liars?
Eager to worship but all aspire to be gods
Every time their means justified by their cause
They know the truth but they choose to ignore
For they all live in a different world
You cannot beat them in their own game
For public opinion is their domain
If only you'd see past their welcoming smiles
And look right in their vacant eyes
You'd feel the misery they have to endure
The painful fate they'll suffer for sure

Under The Lights

The stage was set for you to play your part so well
You surely shined untill the curtains fell
The crowd is gone now and you're back to your true self
Which was harder, I wonder, can you really tell?
We masked our flaws, we played our roles and made it out alive
It's just that now I feel so tired, sick of the lies
I used to hate you and resent you, blame it all on you
But somewhere in my fuzzy mind, I knew, I was the fool
The fool who sacrificed so much to stand under the lights
And watch your lot give the performance of your very lives
Your fucking lies
I hear the wild cheers of the crowd but they're not meant for me
Their roaring sound's frightening me, has this been my dream?
Just let me out of here, I'm scared of all these lights
I cannot stand their stares, I'll stray into the night
The show's not over, it never really ends
From where I stand now I still hear their clapping hands
From this dark corner of the world I see your fading light
Now I see you as you really are, a star that's dying

E.R. (Escape Reality)
04:24

What time is now, can't remember the date
It doesn't matter anyway, it's just another day
In the morning try to get back on track
And at night, well, running out of luck
Condemned by a might, a god given mind
That knows not why, why you must die
So you deaden your mind, refrain from life
To escape the pain from existing in vain
No more motives to incite my self
Yet many ways to have fun that I can tell
Crawling down in dirt all day long
Till the time arrives to sing this song
Hatred's now the only rush for me
Other than that I could never be
Counting days, counting seconds go
Observe the world, like a reality show
Time goes by, the earth will turn
Life, for now, aint my concern
When the night comes I will fall
Into this idle state where I will crawl
The brain stops, all systems fail
And soon desire just fades away
In this euphoria's final hour
An hour without thoughts, the last round

Eyes Sewn Shut
05:50

By the crack of dawn, Jane lay there still
Naked in bed with an open neck
Paid the price for dishonouring him
Victim of lust, now lying there still
Police report, has said it all, there's noone else to blame
John slit her throat, in cold blood, cause he couldn't take the shame
Now I propose we take a pole, and determine how he'll pay
Now you're the jury, but before you speak, hear out what I'll say
Once Jane and John used to have a son
When he died in vain, they couldn't believe he was gone
Two shattered souls, resigned from life
With noone to blame they lost the fight
Beers and pills, new magic thrills, forcing John to stay
Reckless ways, a mind that strays, did the trick for Jane
No thing of chance, this deadly dance, they both stepped in to sway
A dreadful scene, the curtains fall, no noble bow for Jane

Never In Control

Another voice inside your head
Your mind is trying to defect
What do you mean, "ignorance is bliss"?
Where do you think that you can hide?
Hello doctor, hello Hyde
How was life today? Did we get a fright?
I shall calm your mind
It's thanks to me we're still here, so step aside
I say we go now, you obey my will
I say we stay and you can't move
I've been telling you what to feel
Only I know why you do the things you do
So now you fade away leaving me in charge
Whatever changed your mind?
I thought you said you're too afraid to die
Did your good deed for the day?
Or we might just not get through the pearly gates
All the things you fear have finally taken form
The cruel reality where nothing stays for long
You now remembered to ask who the fuck am I
How I can see beyond your face that only lies
We are one, must we be torn apart?
Why can't you find what drives us both, why can't you see where it all starts?
You crack me up with your struggle to break free
How would you think that you could ever escape from me?
All along I've known your eyes no longer see
Outside the dark cave of your comfort you can never be
But now I fade away leaving you in charge
I cannot tell you why
I know I said I'm not afraid to die, but I am
Did it ever concern you or cross your mind
That there are many of us here, hiding inside
To each one his own, we make up for your lies
But reality finally has caught up with your mind
There's only so much you can accomplish alone
The path you've been walking has long been forlorn
I can see all you see but you can't know what I know
Just try to shut me, see how far you can go
Don't you dare ignore me you have nowhere to go

The Sinner's Plead
04:59
|

Truth be told, you've been there for me since I can remember
Raised walls around me that nothing would penetrate
Your proud creation, a life that lived inside your shelter
Warmed the snake's egg in your bossum, how little you knew
There's something deep inside my mind that never lets me rest
A shrieky voice inside my head keeps telling me to sin
I feel the darkness brewing, spreading in my head
War, Love, Peace and Hate sound like synonyms to me
In this cell you call your world
You'll find carved on the wall
The Sinner's Plead
How on earth could you know me better than I know me?
Your sacred truth, you say, is so hard for me to see
The sense of freedom's what pumps my blood and feeds my brain
I wont pay the cost for your security and your fragile peace
For worse or better I refuse to choose the lesser
Of two evils that you say is the choice I have to make
Instead I'll pave my path, it's what brings you disgust
It was never meant to be safe, it's built on my mistakes
None looked inside, none could define
Noone said why kill our lust, noone cared if I felt I must
Still they rule by decree for lack of a better creed
A judjement by default for those who didn't choose to be born
I shall not yield to your distorted ideals
I will not flee or fight, I will just free my mind
Whatever change may come, I 'll try to stand my ground
As if we needed a reason to breath

All Of Us
04:29

We're gathered here tonight to share our sins
Our human nature's to blame that we are obscene
Feel the purity running through our veins
We're gathered here to share the blame
All of us
All of us tonight
Stepping forward now one by one
Confessing unholy thoughts and morbid acts
Regain our sanity by abolishing guilt
Colide into one mind derived from sin
In a world without angels we roam
The guilt from our choices enslave our minds
But in the end consciense reigns
Deprived of gods, we are left to walk alone
