01 F(R)IEND (3:27)

As they all felt the fire
They turned me into an outsider
I never heard from them again
So ironic when you called for a favor today
It's always easy to judge
But it takes a lot to be specific
Cause as you preach you're opening the door to your egos past

There was a day when I could forget
I could forgive
But those days are gone, I see them fade

Filth
Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day

I learned to mute the anger
I never thought I would be there again
A moment, a dead end
I lost myself in here

Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day

I ran as I saw the end
Should I have joined the fight instead
Hope you are listening
Cause now times have changed

I take a look around
I say this moments mine
Flee all the weak minds
Feel my missed hidden rage

Filth in every new day
Filth runs in every new day

02 THE QUIET PLACE (3:45)

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 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
Trusting in my own mind
Now 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
Now 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
Now everything's in place
So much brighter from today
A king in my own mind

03 DEAD ALONE (3:42)

I will always belong to the shadow
Don't show me new results
I will never enter your heaven
Make the most 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)

Where there are only my bones
Please put them in use
Want to be part of a new dawn
The darkness disappears

Don't release these chains
Never been closer to myself
All your mistakes run though
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

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)

04 TOUCH OF RED (4:12)

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's 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 will drown in seconds

Fear, there's a way out
A touch of red, break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there is a way out

As If I ever had a choice
All in the hands of the energy
Once again feel the quicksand swallow me
Tonight I wont struggle

Fear, there's a way out
A touch of red, break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there is a way out

(The weak in me should know )
(I'm as sober as I could be)

Fear, there's a way out
A touch of red, break away
Nothing has it all
Bury the place I've been
I fear there is a way out
(There's a way out)

05 LIKE YOU BETTER DEAD (3:22)

I can be as angry as I want to be
Just watch me burn
I think you're way too cold
Just watch and learn

I'll never sleep here anymore
My house is not my home
I like you better dead
And 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 color
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

06 MY SWEET SHADOW (4:38)

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 a 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

Fueled
Dark past lies cold
For you I look no more

07 EVIL IN A CLOSET (4:02)

We were one in words
You finished my sentence
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 life time
I can be the first you meet

I once read a poem
Held my breath but that moment's gone
First time I felt life somewhat hurt
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

08 IN SEARCH FOR I (3:22)

It hurts to think
Can't get the sums together
Would you draw my bitterness
Make the pictures fade

Could it be that I see
What's beneath when we fall
The truth in ever
I'm scared that I will be

The sentence is light
But my eye sees a different world
And all I do is turn into flames

Will time open my vault
New solution, I am begging
Break the fuse that holds me back

The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you the M
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me

Distract, push me in another direction
This wall that I stare into, it's getting old
Give me faith to reach for the new
Pull me apart and do me all over
I'll need a remake
To make up for my mistakes

The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you the M
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me

What if I stop to care
What if I let you fall

What if I stop to care
What if I let you fall

The I is lost in me
But I am ready to give you the M
It might even be the E
As I begin to search for I
The I is lost in me

09 BORDERS AND SHADING (4:21)

You took a knife and carve it in
Want to see your faults
As a part of your pretty skin
Everyone has a tragedy
I want you to wear yours in pain

Oblivion can no longer shade you
Reminded by the tattered tissue
Bleak silence, errors stigmatized in you
A weak worn out friend
There's nothing left for me

Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice

You're so far
Behind be my hero
(Drift away)
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way

I will crawl into your vault
Pass snakes and old rotten thoughts
Leaving a hotbed of virulence
Your world inside slowly redesigned

Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I'll give you this sacrifice

You're so far
Behind be my hero
(Drift away)
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way

Again and again
Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice

You're so far
Behind be my hero
(Drift away)
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way

You're so far, behind
Be my hero
(Drift away)
Save yourself
Don't end up zero
Cause I look the other way
(Save yourself)

10 SUPERHERO OF THE COMPUTER RAGE (4:00)

I am the past, the 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 genius
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)
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
(You can scream but there's no rescue, I promise)
(I'll make sure that 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

Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride

(Dark clouds)
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
(You can scream but there's no rescue, I promise)
(I'll) make sure that you die in time

Everything you say is denied
I'll be the devil on this ride

(Dark clouds in your heaven)
(You can scream but there's no rescue, I promise)
(I'll) make sure that you
Dark clouds in your heaven
Your end has only begun
(You can scream but there's no rescue, I promise)
I'll make sure that you're dead

11 DIAL 595 ESCAPE (3:48)

Could it be a new day
Fear in me so deep
You push me out, I feel far

The absence, close to me
The other side 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 favorite rerun
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray

Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend

Testing higher mentality
I conquer myself through this
A furious path to walk
New space exists beyond
In silence I dwell displeased
Remain with the seed of unfulfilment

Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero

A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray

Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked all descend, I hide

Heal my wounds with everything
Away you complicate me
Sick of cycles, drop to zero
A while just like last times
My least favorite re-run
Sick of cycles, I bounce in gray

Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend, and I hide

Escape familiar home
Memories remains alone
Reality trapped inside
The wicked descend, I hide

12 BOTTLED (4:17)

I really don't have anything to say
Just pass me by
Don't ask me the same questions
Just deny I am 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, and 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, and 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)
Take 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, and 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, and no reward
I'm in circles again

I'm in circles again

13 DISCOVER ME LIKE EMPTINESS (4:16)

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
Disappear with yesterday
Cure this dream that makes me fall

Blame me
Escape me
As you 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 dillusion

Always close to the drop
Disappear with yesterday
Cure this dream that makes me fall

Blame me
Escape me
As you 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
Disappear with yesterday
Cure this dream that makes me fall

Blame me
Escape me
As you walked away
Tie me
For my sake
To the dream that haunts you

14 CLAYMAN (LIVE IN WACKEN 2003) (4:01)

Your self control makes me feel alone
I've tried confidence, had it for breakfast today
I've lost the perfection, a mess without words
As the seasons change I'll continue to ignore

The image I project is 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] - Line not sang in performance
Time and time and time and time again
Slowly, all that I believed in, turning into a lie
To aim and miss, my supernatural art

Spending too much time with myself
Trying to explain who I am

How come it's possible
I wish there was a way
I feel so invincible
Cause I'm the sculpture made 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 might think
And all the plastic people that surrounds me
I have to find the path to where it all begins
To teach this world my supernatural art

How come it's possible
I wish there was a way
And I feel so invincible
Cause I'm the sculpture made of clay
Of clay
Of clay
