Alien Reflection

I try to load my gun in vain
My hands are shaking
(Face submerged)
The beast is breathing down my neck
(Hold your breath)
The barrel's pointed at it
(Synthetic threats, you can't control)
The shadow's growing on the wall
(Fight-or-flight, the first response)
You're going backwards into the dark
You’re forced to face all that you’ve become
You’re going down
(On your own, out to kill)
I'm but a slave to my own nerves
(Relentless foes, chase the thrill)
My limbs are tingling
(Bite your teeth through the skin)
I'll ride the wave of guilt and shame
(Tear the flesh, the blood within)
Escape the prison
You're going backwards into the dark
You’re forced to face all that you’ve become
You’re being dragged down into the dark
The creature and it’s prey on the run
All that remains, an empty shell
and the smoke of my own breath
What if the shadow on the wall
Was not there after all?

Suspicious Smiles

With all these written words
I can't explain the world
Or the things left undone
The complexity of life
And the shackles of one's mind
Weigh down
After all I did to you
I didn’t hear a word from you
Yet you still won't chase me
For I’ve been running for so long
I’ve been running, for so long, I’ve been running
Be careful not to leave a paper trail
(Suspicious smiles)
See the stare in every stranger’s eyes
(No place to hide)
Severed ties won’t disappear
Bend the reality
To perceive the words you hear
And to feed your own anxieties
A distorted train of thought
Gives way for doubt to grow
Keep your head down low
Try to let it go (let go)
Accept the only fact that
You will be all alone (you’ll be all alone)
A fearful man alone, evading his fate
(Suspicious smiles)
See the blame in every stranger’s eyes
(No place to hide)
A fearful man alone, evading his fate
(No place to hide)
See the blame in every stranger’s eyes
I’ve been running, for so long, I’ve been running

Doublespeak
06:21
|
|||
|
Delusions seem to be a part of life
beneath our falling skies
The truth is not a fact anymore
as reason's lost from sight
New facts are fed to us with lies -
we swallow all with ease
Rejecting all the voices from the
Enemies of our beliefs
They'll let us exhale
And get ourselves cleaned
Before they push us down again
Handshakes and smiles
The gestures of trust
Bought off by all those loyal friends
All parties stand behind the line
Their talking heads comply
Repeating words into your ears
"The blame's on them, the blame's on them"
Intention can be hard to prove
Sincerity in their eyes
Might is right when action starts
We all are enemies
Out of my dreams, I wake up
Opinions for sale
Statistics all lie
And all that we know is being retold
Necessity can
Inside our minds
Force us to act against our will
All the reasons to obscure the reality
Shaping it to fit your needs, to serve the cause
Every word you speak out loud will divide us more
And all the pent-up rage will be released
When the floodgates open there’s no return
Till we do it all again ‘cause we never learn
Power built on corruption
Fear is power

Supersymmetry

I need to dive into the distance,
I need a closer live connection
Everything keeps on repeating
Everything keeps on repeating
Shadows speak of dire meaning
Existence grows indifferent
The scene will tell the same old tale
The sun turns to a moon
Before my eyes
The sun turns to a moon
The great unknown gives birth to all that is and will be
Yeah
Set your mind free and feel the relief from everything
Infinite time, Momentary life
I’m seeking for acceptance
To reach for lost forgiveness
I escaped the vicious circle
Those living in the darkness
Come to the light
Recover by our kindness
Rekindle love within
Across the expanse
cyclic emptiness
The sun turns to a moon
The great unknown gives birth to all that is and will be
Yeah
Set your mind free and feel the relief from everything
Infinite time, Momentary life

While
While you were out
Of my eyesight
I stepped back into
Those frames i broke
I can’t go back
I do not want
I will forget
The past is gone
For now
Hands down
Blind my eyes
Pinned down
Gag my mouth
While
While you were out
Of my eyesight
I stepped back into
Those frames i broke
Swallow those tears
Put on that smile
They will forgive
I won't fall down
Again
Hands down
Blind my eyes
Pinned down
Gag my mouth
All alone i float offshore
All the signals gone
Deeper than i've been before
Further than is real

Vacant Eyes
06:53

There's a hole in your history
That left its mark on me
All the choices we're forced to take
because your fate crossed our way
Let us rearrange
All the clues you gave
Your face doesn't show
relief or sorrow
vacant eyes
At the place where you had last been
All the colors were black and white
Everyone knew your name
(the answers were not all the same)
All the corners you cut
you chose to run your red mouth
Without a backup plan
(the picture was out of the frame)
All the holes in your past
Turned into exit wounds
Wrapped in a body bag
Your face doesn't show
relief or sorrow
Vacant eyes
Your face is blank
Your face doesn't show
relief or sorrow

Scarefire

I find my way around here safely
Where cries are loud, where walls confine pain,
I only hear white noise and I’m trembling,
These rooms are full of broken words about me
I wash myself, tell me when I’m clean
I fear myself for what is yet unseen
Just let me breathe
Leave me in peace
But don’t walk away
Don't let them lead me astray
Lead me astray
Give me some time
To make up my mind
I am carefree
If you are next to me
Are you next to me?
Do you wanna hear about anguish?
Can you understand my madness?
Do you want a better life for me?
A better life for me
Every day I start it over
And my breaking point comes closer
Better keep the promise that you made
Save me (from this disarray)
Can you help me open this cage?
Can you help me turn a new page?
Love will only delay my fate
Save me, save me
We are living in fire

The Grand Scheme
04:11
|

|
For long things have gone just the way you planned
Conform and control, rattle no one's cage
On and on 'till the play is done,
and on that day the smoke clears away
Unknown are your deeds and what you stand for
Unseen are your moves past the line of truth
Feed the crowd with your empty vows,
your favorite cause - whatever gets applause
Now take what you need, leave the rest with nothing
And make what you will of all you promised them
Wave goodbye with a content smile (aaa-aaa)
Before you flee the ending of the scene
Outrun
the outcome
Through your
Smokescreen
they will see
No more concealed
Now you're history
By the time you realize they're on to you
It's too late there's nothing you can do
