Gone Away 04:01
lyrics
I can't be a part of this That’s what I said You just dragged me into it Go away I've spent my life caring for others Wasted time and all I ever asked for from you was purity There was a time when I would cry when someone died But now I, I'm afraid it's gone away It’s comin’ back for you It‘s comin’ back for you It’s comin’ back for you It’s comin’ back YOUR WAY! Open your eyes It's the end of your world Can you succumb to this obsession Under the top is where it left you Confused of your decisions And now it seems the dragging on has left you in the pits of tradition It's where you stood and where you fell I CANT BELIEVE YOU THINK YOU‘RE A VICTIM There was a time when I would cry when someone died But now I, I'm afraid it's gone away There was a time when I would die for someone’s life But now I, I'm afraid it's gone away CONCEDE, TORTURED, RAVISHED, LOST IN A WORLD OF HATRED The piercing thought Have you been taught to accept the things you cared for 'Cause it will never satisfy the hunger behind all the chaos It ends in depression But now it's time Can you rewind? The tracks are laid so vindictive You've been cowering behind another so despised Is it just me? Thanks for the sanction There was a time when I would cry when someone died But now I, I'm afraid it's gone away There was a time when I would die for someone’s life But now I, I'm afraid it's gone away Afraid it's gone away now it‘s gone away TORTURED, YOUR HATRED ‘Cause another second chance is one too many to ask for and you’ve been cowering behind someone just to get you by It's comin’ back for you Can you see it through? It's comin back your way

Ruined 03:47
lyrics
Don't aim your guns at me Just shoot ‘em off I stand alone here Lost but cold It's time to see what you were Now I lie in this filth Only welted by the truth RUINED! RUINED! Now you know how I feel Devoured you won't lose me and I can't forget you Now you know how I feel Devoured you won't lose me and I can't forget you I can't foresee a life where I let you go Just look at me I can't pretend to hate I can't foresee a life where I let you go Just let you go! RUINED! RUINED! Now you know how I feel Devoured you won't lose me and I can't forget you Now you know how I feel Devoured you won't lose me and I can't forget you I can't foresee a life where I let you go Just look at me, I can't pretend to hate I can't foresee a life where I let you go Just let you go! RUINED! Every time that I turn my back Determination lost! 'Cause how can I get sick of you You inspire me! Dreams don't just happen for everyone Dreams don't just happen for everyone

Scarring the Mind 04:14
lyrics
In time you'll find I hate my life Unless you break away I drown myself in my own mistakes It's time to find Not to hide Time for you to see You learn my life Now don't you walk away from me I can't break away Lest you take the blame Locked inside this shell On my way to hell Help me I want to work this out I can not help to feel abandoned by my own destiny It's eating me Just can't be free Looking at the sky Desperation is my only natural high I can't break away Lest you take the blame Locked inside this shell On my way to hell Again we're standing side by side It's time for us to bleed A severed tie between two like-minds I never felt I had to feel What it's like to see Our minds corrupt But nothings holding onto me I can't break away Lest you take the blame Locked inside this shell On my way to hell THESE SCARS! THESE SCARS! THESE SCARS! THESE SCARS! These scars invade my direction These scars help the infection These scars live my troubled life THESE SCARS!

Inclination 05:12
lyrics
It’s all for me No uncertainty This thing inside that I need to fill It’s always empty It leaves me nothing more than this world can provide Will I ever be set FREE? This thing inside of me Will I ever be set free? Now there’s nothing left that you can do to save me What once was greed has become necessity To alleviate the pain and guilt for my lack of CONSISTENCY Now all that’s left is an empty shell I wish would fold and GO TO SLEEP! This thing inside of me Will I ever be set free? Now there’s nothing left that you can do to save me That you can do to save me That you can do to save me After all is said and done I’ve hurt everyone All that I thought was true Turned out to be askew Absorbed with myself Removed from everything Dissipated beat up and subdued I have nothing left inside for you Dissipated beat up self abused I have nothing left in here for you.

Strangled Heart 04:37
lyrics
No more lies So say your goodbyes and my opinion is that you should go your own way! It’s in your eyes No more cries so indulge your night I’ll leave the candles burning bright so you can see You will see Why can’t you just let me forget you Release you from my mind You can’t be the one to save me I NEED THIS FOR MYSELF! You’ll play the fool Lost inside I’ll save myself and you get left behind This strangled heart has choked out one last request To let it end To lay my tortured mind to rest We take our hearts and we’ll nail them to the wall Naked and ostracized You’ll play the fool Lost inside I’ll save myself and YOU GET LEFT BEHIND No more lies So say your goodbyes and my opinion is that you should go your own way! It’s in your eyes No more cries so indulge your night I’ll leave the candles burning bright so you can see Oh you will see It’s in your eyes I’ll leave the candles burning bright so you can see You will see My trust is gone Can my back skin heal from all the stabbings you’ve dealt me You’ve risen up to gun me down and bury me in the shells Now I will carry on Only if to ensure you’re malcontent You’re a sorry excuse for commitment I’M DONE WITH YOU and your worthless flaws DON’T HOLD ME BACK!

Backstabber 04:31
lyrics
Hate me Not worth the deception Take plenty and leave me behind In SIN Test me then leave me I can’t walk away that easy This world can’t be a burden It weakens my mind Now rise Pay close attention Are you willing to leave this behind? You’ll find a knife in the back of you Has it even crossed your mind? I’m scared Can’t be behind you Don’t want to be involved I wouldn't try to test my patience We shouldn't listen to the anger I’d rather hold a fucking gun to my head I think I’ll take the world on instead I’m waiting for the darkness of my grave Don’t want it To PASS ME BY I’ve hated Trying to get my way Just sit here and wait to die Their lies They make you worthy To walk amongst the fake WICKED FACE Look in the mirror ARE THESE LIES YOUR ONLY HONESTY? I’ll fight Consume your deception Betray your thoughts in mind In your mind I wouldn't try to test my patience We shouldn't listen to the anger I’d rather hold a fucking gun to my head I think I’ll take the world on instead

Trapped in the Niche 05:26
lyrics
Someone is watching me again and I thought I got away I’m judged by the way I live I can not wait to show my true face ONE DAY WE WON’T BE FIGHTING! My mind is playin’ tricks on me I can’t believe it’s happening Just out of the womb we can’t survive Now what do we do with our lives ONE DAY WE WON’T BE FIGHTING! Now I feel like I‘ll never get out It’s just the worst by far Without a doubt And then I look I take a look around here And I see I see the people I’ve hurt And now it’s all, it’s all just getting much worse I NEED TO FIND! To find myself again I NEED TO FIND! To find myself again I’ve been sucked in and there is no escape I thought I’d see right through your pain But I guess that I was wrong again Nothing feeds me like being trapped in one place Now I feel like I‘ll never get out It’s just the worst by far Without a doubt

Arcanium 03:33
lyrics
I’ll wait till you give in Trust no one alive Crushed beneath our feet Now our paths will meet You will remember me if you just look into my face It’s not the best of me AM I NOT THE ONE YOUR LIES WILL REPLACE No one can stand to take a bow Or is it all just blinding me? Go ahead Just swallow the memories Fly now Your words are buggin’ me The stench is in my nostrils Makes me wanna make you hate me more GET REAL You laugh at my fame GET REAL We’ve branded our skin GET REAL Listen to the pulses GET REAL Just look in MY FACE, MY FACE, MY FACE You will remember You will remember You will remember YOU WILL REMEMBER Nothing can make up for this now! You’ve overstepped your boundaries I’m a little amused you went that far with it GET REAL You laugh at my fame GET REAL We’ve branded our skin GET REAL Listen to the pulses GET REAL Just look in MY FACE, MY FACE, MY FACE!

The Knife 04:30
lyrics
Your words They make the difference Everything you’ve said is true This time we’ll get the conversation THROWN OUT THE DOOR! It’s not my fault that you’re always right It’s the things you say that make me wanna fight See I got this problem with letting you win All I do is make you feel WORSE AGAIN Won’t you? I won’t be the one to shut you out now Unbind me? Unbind me from this Help me shed this skin Our fights They make me nauseous How can we make this stop This time we’ll stop the desecration YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND! It’s not my fault that you’re always right It’s the things you say that make me wanna fight See I got this problem with letting you win All I do is make you feel WORSE AGAIN Won’t you? I wont be the one to shut you out now Unbind me? Unbind me from this Help me shed this skin I heave in desperation My work is done soon here This time I’ll fill your expectations THEN YOU’LL BE FULLFILLED! It’s under my skin Help me shed it It’s under my skin Just help me shed it Help me shed Help me shed Help me shed MY SKIN! Your words They make the difference Everything you’ve said is true This time we’ll get the conversation THROWN OUT THE DOOR!

Metamorphosis 05:28
lyrics
Always behind closed doors So hard to see the truth Something happens within me Bleeding through and through But still it’s changin’ me like a spreading disease Just draggin’ you down I will never be set free Inside I’m changin’ like a spreading disease Just draggin’ you down I will never be set free JUDGE NOT! FEAR NOT! HOPELESS! Always conjuring me As the skin is twisting and the sweat beads on my face It’s always changing JUDGE NOT! FEAR NOT! HOPELESS! Always conjuring me Things don’t ever go my way In sickness I’ll obey JUDGE NOT! FEAR NOT! HOPELESS! Always conjuring me As the skin is twisting I’ll forget how it felt to die and be reborn different Wish I could escape this pain Will it ever stop haunting Inside I’m changin‘ like a spreading disease Just draggin’ you down I will never be set free IT‘S ALL IN MY HEAD! I can let go of you In all the things we said would change THIS IS THE END! NO JUST LET IT BE With the damage done Then sure enough THIS IS THE END! WHY WON’T YOU JUST SET ME FREE!
