1. ANOTHER SCAR

This pain, us and me
It's bleeding my heart, you'll never know
A dark fortress with dark secrets
Locked away but all you crave is forgiveness
(Scar)

Forgiveness for free?
I'm not the one who bled you, you were dry when I came!
A blank canvas, a death for us
But it's all my fault 'cuz I allowed it to happen

[Chorus #1]
Numb yourself to kill the pain
Never hear a word I'd say
Take this silence to the grave
What does it matter anyway ?

[Chorus #2]
I won't forget, but I won't hold on,
There's no point in me facing this on my own
I hate the way you lie, you're such a fake inside
So let me show you what you've made - another scar.

This travesty is faking, I'm not the one you're making
I gave you everything I know
I can see all the lies, but looking in your eyes
Don't try to tell me that this life is righteous.

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]


2. VICTIM

So you dreamed up a monster
And hope to make him a reality.
Push away, all the pain
Slip away and salivate.

Go ahead and go
To the world you made, to the end you crave,
But you know, if you're gone
That the world is wasted without your place in it
Go...

"Victim - they did this to him"
But peel back the mind's eye, and you can't deny.
Push away, all the pain
Slip away - desintagrate.

Go ahead and go
To the world you made, to the end you crave,
But you know, if you're gone
That the world is wasted without your place in it
Go...

Go ahead and go into your tidalwave,
I won't try to save...
And go, as the night fades away
You can't take that away
And it will still feel like nothing is gone

And I don't know why you don't care...

Go ahead and go
To the world you made, to the end you crave,
But you know, if you're gone
The the world is wasted without your place in it
So go... ahead and go...
But you know...
That you just may be something
If you tried for one thing at all.


3. INSIDE THE HATE

I'm feeling quite a debth of a darkness,
A little demon poking fun at me
It's a sweet little sin that fills me
But I'm not there, I'm not there, I'm not there.

[Chorus]
(Inside) So what is deep inside the hate ?
And why do other people wait ?
(The hate) What is the part of us that lies ?
While the rest of us just die ?

I think we all have our devils inside
But don't confuse that hate with your pride
You can still do what you do when you do
Cuz I don't care, I don't care, I don't care.

[Chorus]

Demons can't stay inside forever
Just look at them, smile and finally be free.

All the hate, all the trust in you... (let it go)

Demons can't stay inside forever
Just look at them, smile and finally be free.

[Chorus]


4. CHOKE

Frustration, delusion - somewhere they lost it
The feeling, the meaning - I can't be them anymore.
The pushing, descending - isolate the world away
The darkness, the promise - of getting out alive.

[Chorus #1]
Just so you know, well, I was right
All this time, and all along.

[Chorus #2]
It's like I'm talking to a wall with layers of resistant brick
I'm screaming at deaf ears from glass inches thick.

After being under, this ocean that you've plundered
I've kicked to the surface, can finally fucking breathe.
After tumbling in the undertow,
I've kicked to the surface, can finally fucking breathe.

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]

Screaming at walls... can you relate to this ?

What else bleeds like your heart for you ?
A pit of mankind you fell into.


5. ISOLATION

What do you want from me ?

This shadow, I will never leave
A little inch inside you will never scratch for me.
PIG.
Is this blood of your life ? A little slice of time ?
A bit of me inside you will never like to find.

I can't decide this time, will you do it for me ?
A bit of me in mind I can't relate to.

What would you do with me this time ?
Cuz I've been there for some time.

My halo, I will never lose
A little flaw of mine that I always like to use.
PAIN.
Is it okay with you, that I'm not like you ?
I little flaw in me I tamper into.

I can't decide this time, will you do it for me ?
A bit of me in mind I can't relate to.

What would you do with me this time ?
Cuz I've been there for some time.
And when I'm on top looking down
Well, you will be there still.

This lying, never feel - a crying, dying to heal.

What would you do with me this time ?
Cuz I've been there for some time.
And when I'm on top looking down
Well, you will be there still.


6. SKITOMA

I see you again with brand new eyes
Your skin a sickly pale, seaping from inside.
I feel you with brand new fingertips
A rough and scaly void that used to be your lips.

It doesn't matter now... it doesn't matter now.

I breathe you, you smell of pharamone
That transparent taste I hate to drink alone.
I hear you, those sighs of giving in
Relentless notes of anger, moans of patron skin.

But it doesn't matter now... it doesn't matter now.
(Doesn't matter now...)

I leaned into the doorway-
A long, soft motion of the pain
I'll keep that look forever
A child's sulk with a man's disdain.

I taste you, that bitter, sour fresh
My fucking way to call the pain that is the rest
I smell you, that rotting scent of fear
I overcame you long before you came here !

But it doesn't matter now... it doesn't matter now.
(Doesn't matter now...)

I leaned into the doorway-
A long, soft motion of the pain
I'll keep that look forever
A child's sulk with a man's disdain.

And I will know... I will know...

But it doesn't matter now... it doesn't matter now.
(Doesn't matter now...)

I leaned into the doorway-
A long, soft motion of the pain
I'll keep that look forever
It's always darkest before the day.


7. THE REALITY

Falling from this place and I'm
Haunted by your face, but I
Remember blissful nights diseased.

Do you think of me ?
What I used to be ?
What I was, what I had, what I lost, what I could have been.

[Chorus #1]
(I was) so wrong... for so long.

[Chorus #2]
But tonight I get it right,
Even with thighs trembling
No one says no this time
No one says no to me.

Still far away I feel you
Inside my mind, as if you
Knew tomorrow everything would soil away.

So do you think of me ?

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]

And you're so silly now,
With all your faith in me
Just a little crazy crime
To avoid the reality.


8. DEATH WARMED OVER

Been for the longest time, I've had the strongest urge
Got a little voice in my head that keeps saying "binge and purge!"
Very few times in life does one get to go astray
Well baby you're the only one standing in my way.

[Chorus]
Darkness... Revenge... Blackness...
Now what are you gonna do ?

Long ago you maimed and raped this soul to be
In time, you'll see the same pain you pushed on me
Trigger finger warming up with thoughts of you
Next time you should think twice who you're talking to.

You held me back and down but that was long ago
I'm looking for an answer - this time I won't take no.

[Chorus]

Shifting cells of sweat with visions of your eyes
Just the foreplay to your actual demise
Sharpening blades and carving names across the skin
Think I might finally be getting peace within...

If it's any consolation or it's all the same,
I want you to go in peace with the decision that I've made.

[Chorus]

You are empty, voided, naked just like me
At least we're even, my dear adversary
Was a pretty face full of pride, that's for sure
But now you kind of look like death warmed over.


9. THE BLACK HAND

Into this world you screamed for, to this life you created -
(Was it all you hoped for ?)

Never thought there'd be a hand on me, to my defense
A soft nudge in the wrong direction
A little piece of mind to fill the gap that I can't mend
A black hand to put an end to perfection.

So... what do you need ?

Got a heavy hand on me that's steering me into the darkness
I clench my teeth and bare a smile to buy some time
No one knows it as I'm trying to break away again
But I think I'm in too deep by then.

(Concentrate)
And then there's you
Wearing a grin with some eyes and a stare that I feel inside
I do
Have a vice
Any time that I'm feeling threatened by life
It's you...

Into this world you screamed for, to this life you created
To the high you strived for, the end you perpetuated.

And then there's you
Wearing a grin with some eyes and a stare that I feel inside
I do
Have a vice
Any time that I'm feeling threatened by life
It's you...

I'm feeling sideways - I'm over-drawn
Can't take much longer of this going on...

And then there's you
Wearing a grin with some eyes and a stare that I feel inside
I do
Have a vice
Any time that I'm feeling threatened by life
It's you.
