Waking Up

open your eyes.
wake up and start to breath.
unload your morning lies.
how long must this go on?
so long, so sick of hearing all your sighs.
another day goes by, what have you done to realize?
its all the same.
another name gets shoved up on the shelf.
2 chances between closed eyes.
old lines take turns. coincide.
and in the end, how could you die?
there was a time when i was just like you.
too blind to see right thru.
the veil before me.
the treachery in you.
if you could be me you would understand what it takes to get thru.
the war before me.
the enemy in you.
open your eyes.
wake up and start to breath.
unload your morning lies.
how long must this go on?
so long, so sick of hearing all your sighs.
another day goes by, what have you done to realize?
its all the same.
another name gets shoved up on the shelf.
2 chances between closed eyes.
old lines take turns. coincide.
and in the end, how could you die?
2 chances caught between closed eyes.
old lines take turn to coincide.
and in the end how could you die?
youll find out soon and so will i.
i left you past out in the night.
i never knew she was so slight.
there was no sign of us in sight.
and some might say that i was right.
2 glances caught between old eyes.
those eyes take time to look inside.
and in the end how could you lie?
youll find out soon and so will i.
i left you past out in the night.
i never knew she was so slight.
there was no sign of me in sight.
and you should know that i was right.
2 chances caught between closed eyes.
those lines take turns to go inside.
and in the end how could you die?
you found out soon and so have i.
i left you past out in the night.
i always knew she was so slight.
there was no sign of you in sight.
and now i know that you were right.
::you never let things get you down.
your lost forever in this town.
ill see you maybe once a year.
but in the end im waking up.::

Skin

chorus 1
some say my heart went away
no feelings felt in these remains
no more excuses to decieve
no hope as far i can see
if we meet again in this life
i hope to love you still
i said it best when you walked away
i hope youre better off this way
chorus 2
some say this love was decayed
our happiness has turned to pain
i cant imagine how you feel
but know i shared it all the same
if we meet again in this life
i hope you love me more
you said it best when you walked away
i hope im better off this way
chorus3
some say your heart slipped away
i cant forget when you walked away
despite the emptiness you feel
i know your better off this way
i hope we never meet in this life
cause i know its not the same
you wont forget the things i said
im far from better off this way
when and if you think of me
know i wish that we never met
a memory, wrapped in skin
not worth a second chance
my mind dissolves..euphoric bliss
as this ritual begins
running tears.that turn to blood
as the lines cut deeper into skin
the final curtain draws a close
salvation from the pain
emptiness, without bitterness
now the skins been shed away

Depths

you take this pain away from me.
and now you see what i have seen.
distorted echoes of our past.
shadows remain, of this past.
i never tried to bare my soul.
pointing fingers at the sun.
i will never be forever.
but will rather be lost in this dream.
i wait till dreams to see your face.
hiding my eyes, i will never wake.
i dissapear between your lies.
now i know ill never get away.
i never tried to bare my soul.
pointing fingers at the ones.
who will always be forever.
and would rather be woke from this dream.
down in the depths.
truth turns to lies.
you saw the end with your own eyes.
fuck whats right, believe whats wrong.
stop holding back.
its too late for me.
trust betrayed...torn apart...thrown away.
hearts beat hard...from the start.
ripped apart...thrown away....turned astray.
rip these visions from my nightmare
warp my sorrow into hate
stick this needle in my eyes
make them bleed but never make them cry
you take this pain away from me.
and now youve seen what i have seen.
distorted echoes of this past.
while shadows remain...fading last.
i wait till dreams to hear your voice.
cover me ears from the growing noise.
i disappeared between our lies.
now i know well never get away.
i never tried to bare this soul.
throwing anger at the ones.
who will always be together.
and forever be part of this dream.

Dead by Morning
04:47
|

i am forelonging the inevity of years.
scrutinzed by deaths own eyes, but yet i am still here.
and when my end comes i will certainly give way.
for i dare not wish to see the rising of another day.
i searched for solace in unsympathetic worlds.
crucified by judging eyes that get theirs in the end.
and at the fall there is no wisdom to be gained.
except for everything you do will always be in vain.
i am the martyr in this sinners game of life.
ripped apart by my own hands in joy as much as strife.
and in my death there is no method in the end.
when your time has come its better to jsut let it all grow dim.
the walls around you are starting to fall.
the ground swells up devoursyou whole.
your blood will slow down to a crawl.
youre dead by morning.

New Machines
05:29

your heart believes in more than me.
cant you confess?
cant you come clean?
left you dying in your shell.
now you exist there in your hell.
you will see everything just fine.
when i leave you and yours behind.
one more chance is all i need.
to be what you want me to be.
one day, ill see you again.
and ill remember why, i left you behind.
something are never meant to be.
like you and me.
i could give you all you need.
sometimes you burn but then you bleed.
and now that its all coming down.
i hope that you never come cralwing back to me.
cant you come clean.
your heart believes.
much more than me.
thats what i see.
when i look into thee.
these new machines.
new machines.

do you really think, that i give a damn?
and do you really think, that im gonna stick to your plan?
and do you really think, that i even care?
and do you wanna know, whats going on behind a cold stare?
i couldnt replace you with a million true loves.
cant erase mistakes of the person i was.
i couldnt replace you with a million true loves.
cant erase mistakes of the person i was.
when i see you know.
it seems like something has changed.
when i see you now.
its never the same.
youre never the same.
never the same.
alittle bit closer to the dream.
another face not quite what it seems.
and to think that you do as ive done.
staring forever into the sun.
i never pretended to believe anyone.
a simple distraction to forget what ive done.
i never pretended to believe anyone.
a certain distraction to forget who i was.
when you see me now.
it seems like something has changed.
when you see me now.
its never the same.
im never the same.
never the same.
do you really think (do you really think)
that i give a damn? (that i give a damn?)
and do you really think (and do you really think?)
that im gonna stick to your plan?
and do you really think (and do you really think)
that i fucking care? (that i even care?)
and do you wanna know (and do you wanna know)
whats going on behind a cold stare?
i couldnt replace you with a million true loves.
cant erase mistakes of the person i was.
i couldnt replace you with a million true loves.
cant erase mistakes of the person i was
