1. MEGALOMANIA

Focus all my senses, soul search, lost in confusion
Wanna break this hopeless sense of apprehension

Rapture runs through me, transform to rage
Spin around to lay the blame on whoever's near me

Focus all my senses, hunt down my inner demon
Wanna rip apart my self doubt, know where I'm going
Liberating my soul
I'm rising above, I'm rising above
I am rising above

Conflict, self doubt – destroy, break out
Conflict, self doubt – destroy, break out

My heart is racing, palms are soaked in sweat
Blood of my enemy

Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – haunts me
Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – break free

Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – haunts me
Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – break free

Focus all my senses, soul search, lost in confusion
Wanna break this hopeless sense of apprehension

Rapture runs through me, transform to rage
Spin around to lay the blame on whoever's near me

Focus all my senses, hunt down my inner demon
Wanna rip apart my self doubt, know where I'm going
Liberating my soul
I'm rising above, I'm rising above
I am rising above

Conflict, self doubt – destroy, break out
Conflict, self doubt – destroy, break out

My heart is racing, palms are soaked in sweat
Blood of my enemy

Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – haunts me
Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – break free

Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – haunts me
Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – break free

I am a megalomaniac (are you a megalomaniac?)
I am a megalomaniac (are you a megalomaniac?)

Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – haunts me
Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – break free

Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – haunts me
Mania, megalomania
Delusion – intoxication – break free

Schizophrenia is here to stay


2. VANISHING FULLY FROM THE WORLD

I can never outdo myself
I, I'll never be someone else
I know, I can't exceed my own height
Diminish the range of my sight
Stare forever from wide open eyes
Separating the truth from the lies

As long as I live, my pain will not fade away
As long as I live, this hope will never go away
As long as I live, these thoughts will never disappear
As long as I live, I know my calling is near

And if I fail, can't lay the blame on anyone
Cause I'm the one
And when it's over, and the lord above calls me home
I'll go alone

Vanishing fully from the world

I can never outdo myself
I, I'll never be someone else
I know, I can't exceed my own height
Diminish the range of my sight
Stare forever from wide open eyes
Finding the truth and the lies

And if I fail, can't lay the blame on anyone
Cause I'm the one
And when it's over, and the lord above calls me home
I'll go alone

Vanishing fully from the world

Vanishing fully from the world

Life! Turn my life around
Life! Turn my life around
Life! Turn my life around
Life! Turn my life around
Life! Turn my life around
Life!


3. UNDERTOW

Open up inside, cancel all the lies
Whatcha gotta hide – nothing
Shelter in a crowd, wanna cry out loud
Gotta feel proud – I'm drowning

Undertow – I'm going down
Sucked away – without a sound
Pulled down by the current, at least then I'll be free
From their moral judgement – and their scrutiny!

Who've you got to blame, when you feel the shame
No one knows your name – no one!
Gotta speak your mind, come out from behind
If you wanna find - you're someone

Undertow – I'm going down
Sucked away – without a sound
Pulled down by the current, at least then I'll be free
From their moral judgement – and their scrutiny!

Speak your mind
Speak your mind
Speak your mind
You're running blind

Undertow – I'm going down
Sucked away – without a sound
Pulled down by the current, at least then I'll be free
From their moral judgement – and their scrutiny!

Undertow – going down
Undertow – going down
Undertow – going down
Undertow – going down
Undertow – going down
Undertow – going down


4. MIDNITE CARNIVAL

Don't wanna breakdown – shaking my mind down
Seeing the light now – trying to take down
Shining star – from afar
Grab the light – hold it tight

Wanna be carefree – face in the cool breeze
Doing what I please – wanna be carefree
Living life – free of strife
Killing time – feeling fine

The midnite carnival begins abruptly in my mind
A whirwind symphony of light and color without sound
When you're on top of the world, it's all that you really Need
It's a you really fucking need – yeah

Don't wanna breakdown – shaking my mind down
Seeing the light now – trying to take down
Shining star – from afar
Grab the light – hold it tight

Wanna be carefree – face in the cool breeze
Doing what I please – wanna be carefree
Living life – free of strife
Killing time – feeling fine

The midnite carnival begins abruptly in my mind
A whirwind symphony of light and color without sound
When you're on top of the world, it's all that you really Need
It's a you really fucking need – yeah

World moves too fast – look at the past – dreams in the Trash
Wanna save them – can't betray them – dream them again

World moves too fast – look at the past – dreams in the Trash
Wanna save them – can't betray them – dream them again

Shakedown – shakedown
Shakedown – shakedown
Shakedown – shakedown
Shakedown – shakedown


5. IN UNION WITH EARTH

Immortal figure in stone – on golden sand
I lay by its side – it points to the sky

In union with earth
I listen to her
Entrusting her will and casting her veil
Over all that exists

Immortal figure in stone – unblinking eyes
Beholding the skies – devoid of lies

I, I select life – reject compromise
Cause I want to live – with all that exists

The roar of thunder
And the windswept fields of desert sand
Intoxicated by her voice

I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I wanna fly, I wanna fly

Immortal figure in stone – you hold the key
To our destiny – as if it's your own

I, I cast you out – abandon your fear
Your mind will be clear – your soul will survive

The roar of thunder
And the windswept fields of desert sand
Intoxicated by her voice

I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I wanna fly, I wanna fly

I cast you out – abandon your fear
Your mind will be clear – your soul will survive

The roar of thunder
And the windswept fields of desert sand
Intoxicated by her voice

I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I wanna fly, I wanna fly
I wanna fly, I wanna fly


6. ECHO

Wipe out – every careless comment
I wanna take them all, throw them on the fire
Think about – what you said to me, what I said to you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Without – any warning
Phantom memories visit me again
Stressed out – unbearable at times
Hatred and guilt, my memories a drag

Echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo …

Wipe out – every careless comment
I wanna take them all, throw them on the fire
Think about – what you said to me, what I said to you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Without – any warning
Phantom memories visit me again
Stressed out – unbearable at times
Hatred and guilt, my memories a drag

Echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo …

Wipe 'em out – rip 'em out
Tear 'em out – burn 'em out

Wipe 'em out – the only way to go
Rip 'em out – the only way to go
Tear 'em out – the only way to go
Burn 'em out – the only way to go

Wipe 'em out – the only way to go
Rip 'em out – the only way to go
Tear 'em out – the only way to go
Burn 'em out – the only way to go

Stressed out – memories ringing
Echo – of a distant bell
Stressed out – memories ringing
Echo – of a distant bell


7. DRAGGIN' ME DOWN

I feel like they cut me loose on the ocean
Afraid my soul's gonna drown
As I scan the horizon, look for salvation
Not a light can be found

Pull back into my mind – it's like I'm going blind

Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back – take me outta here!

Look to the future, through hazy confusion
Consolation can't be found
I'm grasping for stars, to find a solution
By reality I'm bound

In fear of fear – get me outta here

Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back – take me outta here!

Running down a tunnel
That has no exit, my time I throw away
The faster I travel in search of an answer
The further it flies away

Pull back into my mind – it's like I'm going blind
In fear of fear – get me outta here

Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back
Go forward, go back – take me outta here!

Draggin' me down
Draggin' me down
Draggin' me down
Draggin' me down

Draggin' me down – fear is
Draggin' me down – fear is
Draggin' me down – fear is
Draggin' me down – fear is
Draggin' me down – fear is
Draggin' me down – fear is
Fear is – draggin' me down


8. YOU SUCK

You suck – don't even ask me why
I can't fucking take it no more
It's the truth, ain't no lie
You sicken me to the fucking core

You suck – you suck – you suck – you suck

You suck – drag your ass outta my place
You fucking reject – get outta my face
Your big mouth just don't quit
Opens, closes, spewing shit

You suck – you suck – you suck – you suck – you suck

You pathetic loser
You follow me like a shadow
Driving me up the fucking wall
Everywhere I turn, you're there – making my skin crawl
I don't know what to do
I wanna squeeze you – squeeze you like a zit

But you don't go away
Just fester – like an infection
A curse
A cancer
And in the end all I can do, all I can say is…

You suck

You suck – you dumb fuck
You suck – you dumb fuck
You suck – you dumb fuck
You suck – you dumb fuck
You suck – you dumb fuck
You suck – you dumb fuck
You suck – you dumb fuck
You suck


9. CONCRETE MIRROR

Caught in a house of mirrors, a prisoner of my fears
No matter where I turn, ugly truth to learn
Stares me down, laughs in spite, I tremble at its might
Indifference, true and clear

Lambs to the slaughter – concrete mirror
Treading water – concrete mirror
Lambs to the slaughter – concrete mirror
Treading water – concrete mirror

I try to close my eyes, submerged in evil lies
The fields of my mind, reflections I can't find
That black security is surrounding me
The morning light I fear

Lambs to the slaughter – concrete mirror
Treading water – concrete mirror
Lambs to the slaughter – concrete mirror
Treading water – concrete mirror

Mirrors are like walls, not glass
See beyond, live in the past
Morning comes but I can't run
Stuck inside, no hope, no sun

In this cage of skin and bone
Pound my fist against the stone
Black soul oozing out the pain
Screams and laughs in freezing rain

Mirrors that I can not break
Demons that I can not shake
Pain that is too hard to take
By-products of escape

Lambs to the slaughter – concrete mirror
Treading water – concrete mirror
Lambs to the slaughter – concrete mirror
Treading water – concrete mirror

Lambs to the slaughter – concrete mirror
Treading water – concrete mirror
Lambs to the slaughter – concrete mirror
Stop the slaughter – concrete mirror


10. ARGUMENT

Argument, argument
You pay lip service to, and justify your ideals
Argument, argument
Somehow sounds good enough, but don't apply to what's real

Argument, argument
The road to nowhere, crawling slow like an ant
You've got it down to an art, it won't amount to a fart
You're talking bullshit, breaking us in two

Nowhere – I wanna be – nowhere
Easy – in theory – in practice – hot air
Ego – is fragile – real life – ain't fear

Argument, argument
You pay lip service to, and justify your ideals
Argument, argument
Somehow sounds good enough, but don't apply to what's real

Argument, argument
The road to nowhere, crawling slow like an ant
You've got it down to an art, it won't amount to a fart
You're talking bullshit, breaking us in two

Nowhere – I wanna be – nowhere
Easy – in theory – in practice – hot air
Ego – is fragile – real life – ain't fear

Shooting your mouth off
Making promises
You know you can't keep
You're wearing the fool's crown
Like a sick dog, running in circles
Chasing its own tail
Wearing yourself down

Shooting your mouth off
Making promises
You know you can't keep
You're wearing the fool's crown
Like a sick dog, running in circles
Chasing its own tail
Wearing yourself down

Your sound argument gets you – nowhere
Your sound argument gets you – nowhere
Your sound argument gets you – nowhere
Your sound argument gets you – nowhere
Your sound argument gets you – nowhere
Your sound argument gets you – nowhere
Your sound argument gets you – nowhere
Your sound argument gets you – nowhere

Nowhere – is where it's at – nowhere – I wanna be
Nowhere – is where it's at – nowhere – I wanna be
Nowhere – is where it's at – nowhere – I wanna be
Nowhere – is where it's at – nowhere


11. LIVE UNTIL YOU DIE

Tired of standing in the light
Always try to do what's right
Think of all the lies I told
Guilty conscience leaves me cold

If you despise yourself because you can't believe in god
Why don't you break those chains
Live for yourself today

We awaken everyday
To an apparition pray
Try to remove the pain
Only got ourselves to blame

Get up and take control of the only life you have
Soon you will realize
You cannot moralize

Conflict – in my soul
Two ways – that we can go
Conflict – in my soul
Two ways – that we can go

Tired of standing in the light
Always try to do what's right
Think of all the lies I told
Guilty conscience leaves me cold

If you despise yourself because you can't believe in god
Why don't you break those chains
Live for yourself today

We awaken everyday
To an apparition pray
Try to remove the pain
Only got ourselves to blame

Get up and take control of the only life you have
Soon you will realize
You cannot moralize

Conflict – in my soul
Two ways – that we can go
Conflict – in my soul
Two ways – that we can go

You will live until you die
You will live until you die
You will live until you die
You will live until you die
You will live until you die
You will live until you die
You will live until you die
You will live until you die

You will, you will live, you will live until you die
You will, you will live, you will live until you die
You will, you will live, you will live until you die
You will, you will live, you will live until you die
