1. SEIZE THE DAY

Nine years ago you told me
What my life was meant to be
Your words were stuck in my mind
Like burned into the flesh

Years passed by
Time slipped through my fingers
Soon I realized
It was (just) too late for me
To seize the day

From time to time
My screams of despair
Receive an answer from above
And I wish for a better tomorrow
I'm crying
In disbelief I dwell

From day to day
Dark paths appear before me
It's hard to choose from bad alternatives

Years passed by
Time slipped through my fingers
Soon I realized
It was (just) too late for me
To seize the day

From time to time
My screams of despair
Receive an answer from above
And I wish for a better tomorrow

Nine years ago you told me
What my life was meant to be
Your words were stuck in my mind
Like burned into the flesh

Years passed by
Time slipped through my fingers
Soon I realized
It was (just) too late for me
To seize the day

From time to time
My screams of despair
Receive an answer from above
And I wish for a better tomorrow
From time to time...
...Seize the day
My screams of despair...
From time to time...I...
...Seize the day


2. DIRECTOR'S CUT

As I fall down with my blurry mind
I try to realize what is going on
Triggered behind my eyes
Truth I cannot find
Look at me, what do you see
Look at me, can you believe

We are the actors of our lives
So beautiful scenes we make
We are the actors of your life
To be loved and hated

I almost constantly repeat repeat myself
It's so hard to get outta hate
Feels like I'm locked in a pressure boil
I hear ticking and clicking
Is it the timer on my head....

We are the actors of our lives
So beautiful scenes we make
We are the actors of your life
To be loved and hated

Take a bite of me, don't eat it
Just inhale, my blood doesn't heal
Reflections I see coming out of wounds
It feels so real that it's hard to believe
I sense the stab inside, I hear someone saying:
"Cut!"

We are the actors of our lives
So beautiful scenes we make
We are the actors of your life
To be loved and hated
We are the actors of our lives
So beautiful scenes we make
We are the actors of your life
To be loved and hated

To be loved and killed


3. PERFECT BALANCE

As I step out of the crematory
My mind is filled with aggression and rage
I faced pain so horrid, it went on for days
Whatever comes out he throws it right back at my face

And I lost my battle against myself
And finally I'm starting to believe
It is futile to even try
To cross the line to reach the clearer skies

Balancing on a string
I never got to fall
As those two rip me in half
Again and again
The fear of falling, I lost
Years ago
As my counterpart takes what he owns
Again and again

My conscience
Was run down
By inner demons long ago
I have ran from my judgement

So my finger on the trigger
It was eager it was willing
To end lives
To wreak havoc
To make numbness go away
To end my suffering

Balancing on a string
I never got to fall
As those two rip me in half
Again and again
The fear of falling, I lost
Years ago
As my counterpart takes what he owns
Again and again

Balancing on a string
I never got to fall
As those two rip me in half
The fear of falling, I lost
Years ago
As my counterpart takes what he owns
