Liar
betrayed, your days are gone
Tired
Dismayed, things won't go on
Piercing through the armour plate
Burning, set upon
See my gaze upon you one more time
Your chest ablaze, punishment for your crime
Piercing through the armour plate
Imminent, so sublime
Implement 'cause you perpetrate
Eloquent, any place, anywhere, any time
Eyes are red, bursting, filled with blood
Call the dead, yearning, understood
Piercing through the armour plate
Imminent, so sublime
Implement 'cause you perpetrate
Eloquent, any place, anywhere, any time

Bend the Light

State confusing
Slow down aging
How fast are you moving
Is motion changing?
Acceleration causes vertigo effects
Domination, punish your subjects
Bend the light
Enjoy the fame
Bend the night
Lose the game
Does it feel good
Or is it your pride
Concealed if you could
Is this all that love provides?
Wishful thinking
All that's about
Possibility shrinking
It didn't play out
Bend the light
Enjoy the fame
Bend the night
Lose the game

Indulge in luxury
Divulge your privacy
Influence the gullible
Confluence the nullable
You're on my mobile screen
You're on the TV scene
You show your legs and between
To be queen
Still you're barely eighteen
Easy money your dream
You crave to be seen
To be queen
Every bit of you is fake
Remade like a fruitcake
Lips and other things blown up like tyres
Hungry for attention and to be admired
You're on my mobile screen
You're on the TV scene
You show your legs and between
To be queen
Still you're barely eighteen
Easy money your dream
You crave to be seen
To be queen

Voices in my Head
04:18
|
|||
Night's come over me
Think that I'm lost
Dark night's haunting me
The path is crossed
Will not stray from me
Deep contention
Will not dismay me
It's my pretension
Living that dream
Can never be mine
Instead I scream
Chase the headline
To be mainstream
Forced to resign
It's the same theme
Mind in decline
Thoughts are indisposed
The hunt is on
Hiding I will choose
My shelter's gone
Wish I were not a threat
Feel all alone
Insignificant
Cuts through the bone
In the end it's what I am
The things they said
To be a real man
Voices in my head
Living that dream
Can never be mine
Instead I scream
Chase the headline
To be mainstream
Forced to resign
It's the same theme
Mind in decline
Voices in my head
All the things they said
Voices in my head
All the time I bled
Voices in my head
Blood is cherry red
Voices in my head
Calling the dead
Calling the dead

Out of your Skull
04:04
|
|||
Battle screams and battle cries
Battle dreams and battle lies
It's coming here and it's coming now
The puppeteer will disavow
Beating up the little guy
Better believe it
Anything that gets you high
You can't deceive it
You go out of your skull
And you're loving it
You go out of your skull
And you're loving it
Better make it worth your while
Think that you'll escape somehow
The concept is so versatile
And in the end we will all bow
Beating up the little guy
Better believe it
Anything that gets you high
You can't deceive it
You go out of your skull
And you're loving it
You go out of your skull
And you're loving it

Maybe not Today

Absence cuts right through me like the polar winds
Her box of darkness was a gift
A part of me that destiny abscinds
I understand the need of thrift
Meaningless
It goes away
Keep telling that it goes away
Maybe not today
Just trying to keep the hurt at bay
Holding onto the knowledge that tears will fade
But that couldn't be further from the truth
Thinking 'bout every moment and the love we made
Embracing her with passion and her skin that felt so smooth
It goes away
Keep telling that it goes away
Maybe not today
Just trying to keep the hurt at bay

Get Out of the Light
04:07
|

Coming to the end of sleep
Floating in the immeasurable deep
Remember her voice that sounded sweet (red velvet dress)
Blackened eyes so indiscreet
Get out of the light
Pleasure made me lose my way
The silence I herewith obey
She smiles and tells me it's okay (red velvet dress)
I promise that I'll never stray
Get out of the light
Coming to the end of sleep
Floating in the immeasurable deep
In her absence I fell incomplete (red velvet dress)
Her blackened eyes so indiscreet
Get out of the light

Acceptance
06:06
|
|||
Always accept who you are
A call
Still awake
No matter
Try to fake
Reflecting on every mistake that I made
Fear
Cannot sleep
The pain
Going deep
Expecting that they're here to keep
I'm a creep
It doesn't seem real
Tougher than steel
How does it feel
Cutting the deal
Catherine wheel
Do an appeal
Start to congeal
In my ideal
Give me a break
How long does does it take
To forget my mistake
Still wide awake
Too much at stake
To soothe the ache
Cannot remake
For goodness sake
Don't be such a slave
Who needs to behave
The acceptance I crave
Is an insincere knave
The truth I surmise
Overcapitalise
Acceptance a prize
To materialise
Go on
I still belong
Never forget I'm strong
The memories of everything gone
I wasn't wrong
Dismay
Go away
To say
Only play
The moment that I went astray
Here to stay

Deficit to be filled
Here goes nothing
Future to be built
People crushing
Desire to be on top
Despite the suffering
Prepare yourself for the drop
Evil plundering
Fire one
Here goes nothing
Fire two
You'll hit something
Being very pleased
As everything worked out
All the land you seized
Keep thinking that the dark's not dark enough
Hanging on by your nails
Desperation
Egotism fails
Your aspiration
Fire one
Here goes nothing
Fire two
You'll hit something
Being very pleased
As everything worked out
All the land you seized
Keep thinking that the dark's not dark enough

Give me money
Give me bucks
Make me shiver
It sucks
And greener to be
Self control is what it's like
Black world, black bodies
And suffer
this section makes it better to see
I have time to waste
I have time to give
I have time to waste
And I have the time to give
Give to you
I have time to waste

Mass Hysteria
04:03
|
|||
Actions meant to save the day
Meaning that we'll break away
From reason, leaving disarray
The purpose is to disobey
Partying with Beaujolais
Everything's a giveaway
Standing up to power play
But listen, there is more to say
Seeming
That it's all
Demeaning
Free for all
Understand the concept of mass hysteria
One day have to accept that man is scarier
Creating a compromise
Differences will subtilise
Rebels we will canonise
Regardless of our own demise
Truth is here to stigmatise
Social madness symbolise
Society we will paralyse
Humanity we will tyrannise
Seeming
That it's all
Demeaning
Free for all
Understand the concept of mass hysteria
One day have to accept that man is scarier

Holding her baby in her arms
A useless prayer that nothing harms
Innocent life born in a place
A concrete basement, just in case
Bombs exploding in the upper world
The ceiling's cracking but she isn't hurt
Desperate but she dares not make a sound
Knowing the rules of the battleground
Eardrums beating on the rhyme of war
Forgotten everything that was before
All wiped out in a political game
Far above her head, for personal gain
I will be remembered like a god
I will be remembered like a god
I will be remembered like a god
Something to remember
I'm a god
Why don't you remember you are not?

Story of a Boy
06:20
|
|||
Once there was a boy with an innocent soul
But beyond every comprehension
Torn between the feelings that he couldn't control
And who failed to notice condescension
Then one day, it was love at first sight
There was a girl who would see through him
She took him by the hand, he was full of delight
Blind for the horizon looking very grim
Walking hand in hand under violet skies
She explained everything that she expected
Just to make things clear, she didn't want to chastise
But imperfections need to be corrected
He didn't understand 'cause he was trying so hard
Her voice cutting deep into his senses
He covered his ears, much abundant in tears
An offense that would have its consequences
This is not the way, as I say, that we're going to make a little progress here
She said in a manner that left no room for error
She grabbed him by the neck, what the heck
Shook him up, buttercup, he was starting to fear
Last breath, to the death, and his eyes were filled with terror
Slap in the face, a punch some other place
She was determined to get it out
He tried parrying her blows to his ability
Kick in the gut, ' cause he kept his mouth shut
Well deserved if he was still in doubt
Heart blocked, deep shock by her insensibility
Gonna kill you, gonna wipe you out
You're a waste of space, that's what it's all about
Gonna kill you, gonna wipe you out
You're a waste of space, that's what it's all about
Wandering now in eternal shade
There's always hope for extrication

Broken Promise
03:41
|
|||
Anything I can I'll do for you
Lies
Sometime, somewhere
A promise that was shattered, I'm lost
No hope to spare
Broken by the line that was crossed
Sometime in the past
An evening when the leaves would flame
Hold hands to last
Until your touching be remembered the same
That was just another dream
The kind that wakes me up and scream
Deceived by empty spoken words
I have to face the truth, it hurts
Banished from reality
The day we reached the apogee
Vanished with your neediness
I'm beaten by your greediness
Look me in the eye
Can't you see me cry
The love you glorify
Why don't you let me die
Look me in the eye
Can't you see me cry
The love you glorify
Why don't you let me die
Sometime, somewhere
A promise that was shattered for good
I'm lying bare
Broken 'cause I understood
