01 THE MIRROR'S TRUTH

(2:58)

This spectacle, our collapse
It's not a false alarm
The ashes settle in

I guess, we are the insane
As we ignore the mirror's truth

Should I join the feast
Should I acknowledge the leash
A future in captivity
I'm not who I'm supposed to be

Without even trying
Let this light explode

The bleeding, we deceive them
Fuel the life that fades
At the height of reason
We shouldn't live by your laws
Call the swarm
Feed them another false hope

Without even trying killing the last scene
Let this night explode
Without even trying
Find the exit sign and disappear

Without even trying killing the last scene
Let this night explode
Without even trying
Find the exit sign and disappear

02 DISCONNECTED

(3:36)

Look at the dead outside my window
Wonder what's on their mind
Why do they run
They all seem to have a mission
But then they cry themselves to sleep

You receive what you give
And this is like nothing
I feel like shit
But at least I feel something

Is this all you meant to be

Their marks in the pavement
You've walked this route too many times
What if I changed the signs
Would you even take notice

You receive what you give
And this is like nothing
I feel like shit
But at least I feel something

Is this all you have to give
So... march
Straight jacket union
So... march
In chains, surrender

You receive what you give
And this is like nothing
I feel like shit
But at least I feel something
You receive what you give
And this is like nothing
I feel like shit
But at least I feel something

03 SLEEPLESS AGAIN

(4:09)

Hopeless times approach
Just give into the chaos
Strangely I find comfort here
Impatient and curious of what may come

And so the rampage begins
Against the headache I can't win

Drain Me
Keep me in the dark
I don't want to take part
Prefer to be forever numb

Nothing great can come out of this
But I'm hostage to myself
I fear I might collapse on the razor's edge
And I fear I'll realize when it's too late

And so the rampage begins
Against the headache I can't win

Drain Me
Keep me in the dark
I don't want to take part
Prefer to be forever numb

Sleepless again
I need to ease my mind
And kill what burns inside

Sleepless again

I can't win
Drain Me
Keep me in the dark
I don't want to take part
Prefer to be forever numb

04 ALIAS

(4:49)

The serpent knows
When the curtain falls
With denial's blindfold
He greets another day

Don't believe the mask
It adapts to any lie
A perfect ten
When reality caves in

Don't tell me
Tell my ghost
Cause I blame him
For all I don't want to know
I found secrets about life's undertow

Life's wrapped in a riddle
Easier said than done
Way to play the victim
Rather run and hide

Don't believe the mask
It adapts to any lie
A perfect ten
When reality caves in

Don't tell me
Tell my ghost
Cause I blame him
For all I don't want to know
I found secrets about life's undertow
Let them take me far away

Crawl back in place
It's easier to cope behind the curtain
Wipe the worries away
No thought about the consequence

Don't believe the mask
It adapts to any lie
A perfect ten
When reality caves in

Don't tell me
Tell my ghost
Cause I blame him
For all I don't want to know
I found secrets about life's undertow
Let them take me far away

05 I'M THE HIGHWAY

(3:41)

I am my deepest shadow
Something I can't ever neglect
Rise above these ashes
Or fall and fade away

In dark moments, I know better
Within destruction I see clearly

From here to new grounds
Suppose I will be doing it alone
With a smile through black design
Fearless of your conviction

Staring into truth
I am the highway
Existence, care for me
In all your everlasting complications

In dark moments, I know better
Within destruction I see clearly

From here to new grounds
Suppose I will be doing it alone
With a smile through black design
Fearless of your conviction

Forget the promised land
There was never an invitation
Today I create my own
Before there was sorrow
And lack of attention

From here to new grounds
Suppose I will be doing it alone
With a smile through black design
Fearless of your conviction

06 DELIGHT AND ANGERS

(3:38)

Everyday takes figuring out how to live
Sometimes it feels like a mistake
Sometimes it's a winner's parade
Delight and angers
I guess that's the way it's supposed to be

Please heal me, I can't sleep
Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me
Call me everything
Make me feel unbreakable
Lie and set me free

I feel the fear takes hold
Afraid this hell I create is my own
Calm my franticness, I can't take it anymore
This used to be my own world
But now I've lost control

Please heal me, I can't sleep
Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me
Call me everything
Make me feel unbreakable
Lie and set me free

Chasing leftovers
Under the fading sun
Searching for shelter
I feel my time has come

Please heal me, I can't sleep
Thought I was unbreakable, but this is killing me
Call me everything
Make me feel unbreakable
Lie and set me free

07 MOVE THROUGH ME

(3:05)

Consume the curse
That brings you down
A fading liar
Who wakes up alone

It's there in front of you

Invert this tragedy to come
And reclaim your future
This is a call to arms
One quest at a time

Feed the hunger
Climb on up
Repress the negative
You are not alone

It's there in front of you

Invert this tragedy to come
And reclaim your future
This is a call to arms
One quest at a time

Avoid the mould
Desperate you regress
Move through me
I'll be your triumph

Invert this tragedy to come
And reclaim your future
This is a call to arms
One quest at a time

08 THE CHOSEN PESSIMIST

(8:13)

Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure
Tell me which side I'm on
Who's friend or foe
Approaching constant failure

Between love and hate
Which path to follow
How can I keep balance in this race
Come faith, I'm dying slowly

In many ways I'm the burden
That devides us from the light
In many ways you're the halo
That keeps my spirit alive

Temptation
Play the good or evil part
With me, you evoke the dark
Erase the free will and watch me heal

Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure

Between love and hate
Which path to follow
How can I keep balance in this race
Come faith, I'm dying

Amused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive I fly from here
But as the chosen pessimist

I carve my name in stone
I carve my name in stone

Amused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive I fly from here

How can I keep balance in this race
Come faith I'm dying

09 SOBER AND IRRELEVANT

(3:22)

Used to be original
But now I tremble in fear
I am like everyone else
And that buries me

Is this how it feels
To reach rock bottom
Want to know how it feels to be forgotten

I've become the distance
I am the sober and irrelevant
I don't feel part in this
What is there to believe

I'm not asking for much, just a moment
A chance to pick up the pieces
Happiness, please, come home

What if it ends right here
How do I change it
Hoping to find a saviour
I've lost my way

I've become the distance
I am the sober and irrelevant
I don't feel part in this
What is there to believe

Is this how it feels
To reach rock bottom
Want to know how it feels to be forgotten
Hoping to find a saviour
I've lost my way

I've become the distance
I am the sober and irrelevant
I don't feel part in this
What is there to believe

10 CONDEMNED

(3:34)

So restless
These walls drain my thoughts
Room 307
I can't find my way out

It used to be my home
This cage, far from my comfort zone
Alive but without control
Fear is taking hold

I should cross the line
Confront like the blind

Hear a distant cry
Would you tell me how
To break the cycle that I'm in
And discover the living

I don't recognize my soul
Condemned to live in this black hole
Dig within time, and crave what is mine

Hear a distant cry
Would you tell me how
To break the cycle that I'm in
And discover the living

I should cross the line
Confront like the blind

Hear a distant cry
Would you tell me how
To break the cycle that I'm in

It's a hill to climb
Would be a dream if I
Design a future and
Not the end of time Not the end of time

11 DRENCHED IN FEAR

(3:29)

You won't
Find a friendly face in the crowd
It's quite amusing to see how you suffer

I refuse, to let you steal my daylight
Barely awake, but it strengthens my night rage
I've seen you kill many dreams
But I got brand new armour
And your weapons are way out of reach

How does it feel to be demolished
Vaporized into thin air
Strange new feeling to be nothing

All the words I hear, they don't mean a thing
All the words I hear, they don't mean a thing
All drenched in fear and the hate you bring

Make me bother, I dare you
I've got the strength I need
But I'll await my darkest moment
When the guilt doesn't get to me

All the words I hear, they don't mean a thing
All drenched in fear
All the words I hear, they don't mean a thing
All drenched in fear and the hate you bring

All the words I hear, they don't mean a thing
All drenched in fear
All the words I hear, they don't mean a thing
All drenched in fear and the hate you bring

All the words I hear, they don't mean a thing
All drenched in fear
All the words I hear, they don't mean a thing
All drenched in fear and the hate you bring

12 MARCH TO THE SHORE

(3:26)

I used to adore you
The lies made sense somehow
Gave myself away without a fight
But the betrayal claims its price

At first I was scared
Not used to a murderer's mind
But there was something beautiful
So powerful, so definite, so divine

Pushing the faith
Build out of rage

Falling ideals
Broken seals
March to the shore
You are a killer

Is it something that's always been there
Was it destined to leave its cage
I'm glad we met though
I love to release the rage

But everything has its end
And I've done my deed
The final bullet was always meant for me

Pushing the faith
Build out of rage

Falling ideals
Broken seals
March to the shore
You are a killer

But everything has its end
I've done my deed
The final bullet, always meant for me

Falling ideals
Broken seals
March to the shore
You are a killer

Falling ideals
Broken seals
March to the shore
You are a killer
