The One Within

As I look in the mirror
I see something's different
I take a closer look
This image is scaring me
I feel my skin itching
I fear the person beneath
This fight will end in one way
Will it be me or him?
Am I strong enough?
Will I survive?
I take another look
I see him weakening
I'm not afraid anymore
I know that I am stronger
I feel the power rising
This is my final hour
I'm running from myself
I'm scared of what I've become
This fight will end in one way
Is this my time?
Was I strong enough?
Did I survive?
I take another look
I see I'm weakening
Who lives?
Who dies?
What will survive?
When I am done
What will become?
What will become of me?
The blood is running faster
I can't control my feelings
I'm at the point of braking
This is where everything ends
I'm not running anymore
I'm no longer scared
I have already won
The time is mine to spare
Who was strong enough?
Who did survive?
I take ome last look
I see now who's the weak

Within Dead I

What I conquer I control
When I kill I take the soul
I'm your god, I'll take your hand
You will vanish into sand
Hindsight and snow blind
Cannot control your mind
Bring all the murders
You'll see so much further
Bring all the murders
Cannot escape the walls you built
The hunger you feel is their guilt
Bloodred fear but not of you
'Cause they're just like you, they feel it too

Soulless

Can you see the light at the end of this
darkness?
I hear them closing in on us
This is where we will rest
I hear them breathing in the dark,
Their smell is closing in on us
This is where we will rest, will rest forever
This is it
I can't stand them
This is it
Are you ready
They're watching every move I take
They're crowding me until I brake
The evil has spread in to my soul
I fear am loosing my control
I can't belive what I've become
I fought but now I'm not alone
I feel my life draining away
Was I so easy to betray?
This is it
I can't stand them
This is it
I am ready
Soulless
I can't see the light at the end of this
What once was me no longer exists
This is where the new world will begin
We won't stop until you're all in sin
I've fought for so long, now the end is near
But this isn't over, there's still room for fear
With just one taste you will see
With just one bite I'll set you free
This is it are you ready?
You are now soulless
A simple invatation to my world
Were every new senstation is absurd
This quiet desperation won't be heard
You'll get what you deserve
This is it
I can't stand them
This is it
are you ready
You are
You are
You are now soulless

The Sum (Dead Hand)
03:53
|

You gotta have a disease to be special
but with intelligence you will be lead to ingorance
borders are-a changing, sorting the dreams to manipulation
Ph. D and A++
What is wrong with talent and guts?
Dirty works for lawyers salaries
The difference's huge when you're burning calories
Well, we are special and we never grew up to fast
We believe in something that is real
Well, we are lost. We're the dead hand of the past
And we are drowning but got gills of stainless steel
You live in the bottom of your scratched and broken dreams
But they expect you to accept all of the national themes
And only with cash you can afford to stay sober
but forgetting 'bout the days in October
It's an endless struggle for perfection
as we're voting "ourselves" in the election
never understanding the real state of art
trying to be smart, by following your heart
Once you start to doubt yourself, you will fade away

So Far Away
05:27
|

The same record's playing again and again
And it's your face that stares through my mirror
Keep trying to wash away your scent
But it's never enough, I can't face it
You're so far away
You're too close to me still
I see your eyes when I close mine
I hear your laugh and your calming words
I keep feeling your skin in my palms
And it's never enough, no it's never enough
You're so far away
You're too close to me still
You're so far away and it hurts
You're never there when I scream
I need to grow my tower
Where it hurts you the most
I need a process, I need a way out
Need to burn you away
A path to grow on, to hate and to love
To find a new face in my mirror
You're so far away
You're too close to me still
You're so far away and it hurts
You're never there when I scream

War Chant

I'm through with you, I'll take a bow
Only dreams can save you now
You never got so close, never got near
I'm gonna paint my vengeance with your fear
Go find yourself a place to hide
and forget that you never tried
You won the battle but you lost war
You got another one comin' at your backdoor
Face to face
Eye for an eye
You never fail, cause you never try
Face to face
Eye for an eye
I'll close my eyes and watch you die
Just walk away
From this tragedy, walk away
I worked so hard to let it go
For seven months I laid below
Just run and hide and hide and run
Nothing left you're fucking done
It took so long to understand the betrayal
Appearances can be deceiving
Your only choice now, is leaving
Say goodbye to your fantasy
You never were my friend, not even close to me

Past My Prime
02:48

Freeze the picture
Can't hold on to the benefit of youth
Line up the stricture
Every day is a moment of truth
Playing house like the cavemen did
Memories of what my childhood forbid
Is this the price to pay; getting old?
Not even close to fool's gold
I see an old man in the mirror
Now everything's clearer
These four walls I've seen them all
Getting ready for a curtain call
Early to rise and early to bed,
Makes a man healthy, but socially dead
Am I the same?
Never doubted my self, but I'm fading
I got my pawn in the game
And the mirror's degrading
God was never my maker
and Satan was never my dad
Ereasing the fallen taker
Getting back the life I've never had
I have been down
Down but never broken
The man I wanted to be
Is the boy that I became
Always taking the higher ground
I never lived in shame
And just because I could
Doesn't mean I should
I'll never surrender
I'll never compromise
I'm just a guy who knows about sacrifice
Carve my name in stone
But I won't die alone

No Resistance

Released from the ball and chain
Impulsive's no part of my plan
I'm winning, I won
Now's a good time to carry on
Radiant eyes they shine so bright
They shine until the end of time
Smile in delight and it's conquered me
Totally blind, I'm a devotee
Embracing the time and fighting for more
I see it now, must overcome
We're legion, united
Everyday is new, I'm so excited
So pretty, so golden
So innocent, so unbroken
I'm chosen, I'm strong
I'm forever and eternal
My heart dwells and I want more
Don't remember how I lived before
This monster created life
A peaceful soul, got no regrets
Boosting my inspiration
'Scuse me, while I kiss the sky

Breathe

Time, heals all wounds
but still my soul is scarred
as I'm standing on the churchyard
and staring at your stone
the pain hurts down to my bone
now that you left this earth
I stand here left to hurt
Breathe
Without you
Breathe without you
How can I breathe without you?
you left this world in a haste
and all that's left is a bitter taste
Time, heals all wounds
now I still wonder why
did you say goodbye?
it's hard to comprehend
and alone is where I stand
tough you gone to past
you found some peace at last
Staring at myself in the mirror on the wall
Trying to figure out why I feel so small
The pain cuts like a razorblade
My minds trapped in a mystic shade
My brain can't handle it all
It feels like my head has hit the wall

Enola Gay

Little boy you fall so fast
In the blink of an eye you hit the ground
Little boy you're one in a million
but the million dies with you
Lightning flashes and thunder roars
Lightning flashes before my eyes
Mushroom cloud in the sky
You're all gonna die
Little boy you're hurting big
A creation made to kill
Little boy you'll never grow up
You're just a shadow of the fat man
Sulfur, shrapnel, expand out of town

Smudge

How futile my mark on the world seems to be
Whatever happens to me I'm sure won't leave a scar
I've faced those inner demons of which they speak
I'm unsure if they even, if they even cared
Show me faces of despair
Make me cry when I'm in your arms
Light the way for me to walk
Show me how to hide a pain
Never
No, never have I been
This close
To finding me
I've read the thousand words of an artist
I guess the picture wasn't perfect
However dull the colors seemed to be
I'm sure my life can fade, can fade beside it
Bring some ink into my world
Draw a picture full of contrast
Make a difference, make me smile
Give me pain and lead the way
