Lyrics


1. IF SHE'S NEAR

I'm up against the best
Cause whenever she is near
I'm my own worst enemy

Forbidden and so dangerous
But in spite of all we've been through I can't flee

Ignite
I'm about to hit the floor
Right now
I shouldn't have begged for more
This fight
I fight against myself
This time
I'm gonna lose so hold

Hold me down
I can not trust myself
If she's near
So please take me out of

Here right now
I can not trust myself
If she's near
So take me out of here

Somebody help me awake
I know this is surreal
And she makes me feel

Subconsciously self-destructive
Cause her lies are lethal but insanely seductive




2. TURN

I lost track of good sense cause I never
Learned when to stop
And somewhere along the way I dragged you
Into this mess

I chose to fight but I lost
I ruined all and you paid the cost

But I hope that you would..
Turn and stay with me
I know you hate me now
But now I need you to
Turn and stay with me

Through these tormenting days
That only you can alleviate
I did everything I feared I would do
When the pressure cracked me

Some say it's hate, some say it's fate
That put those words in my mouth as I raged
But I hope that you would..

And I'm so sorry
You have to watch me crawl
But for once in my life
I know I'm to weak to survive

I'm closer now
Surrender is near
Pull me to you, pull me up



3. TAKE A SHOT

I see a thousand corridors
And I've walked through them all
Nowhere an open door

I'm imprisoned by my love
Restrained by the fears
Affection tearned into tears

There's a part of me that just won't take the pain
There's a part of me that wants to burst into flames
And break all the chains

Take a shot
Of my poisonous blood
I've got a fever and it won't drop
As long as you're in my life

Take a shot
Of my poisonous blood
I'm a fever and I'll burn you up
So you'd better spit me out of your life

I'm the virus that tears you apar
The disease that sucks the life
Out of your faint heart

You need distance from me
Rush to the arms of sulitude
It's the only cure

Cut me out of your life
I wanna see
You free of all the hurt I have caused you



4. DIFFERENT LIGHT

Never could I see
The beauty of your ways
You wore your crown
Alone in silence

I wish that I could see you in a different light
I'm hoping that someday I'll see you
Fall in love without falling apart

I wish that I could see you in a different light
But I know that soon I'll see you
Fall asleep without falling into dreams

Your love is already there
Don't fight your anxienty
And don't tire your eyes
I'll see you at my end

I know you have to leave
Cause there is less
That you would miss
If you would stay



5. WRITINGS ON THE WALL

A glimpse of light breaks through
The ruins of our lives
My dusty eyelids rise to let hope
Blind my sight

Between the closing walls
A breeze revives my mind
I run into darkness
Preying we could escape

Is this moment the last chance to change the course
For I know she can't take, she can't take this for long

Is this the chance that I've been looking for
That I've been looking for
That I've been looking
For to change the writings on the wall
The writings on the
The wall
Is this the chance that I've been looking for

I collect the puzzles wishing
The tears could fill a well
Deep enough to sink our problems
Once and for all

Time after time, wrong after right, but never again
Will I let things roll without taking control of myself



6. TIME AND TIME AGAIN

I've been running to let go
I've been running away from home
My knees no longer hold
But I can't stop
It's still too easy to turn

Time and time again you fade away
And I wonder how you
Still manage to beat the hell out of me
Time and time again you seem to fail
But it seems that you can
Still manage to crush my self-esteem

I'm hoping when I'm gone
You realize I'm not that strong
That I would suffocate my will to play along

And I wished you'd understand
I've sacrificed all I can
To share my soul with you

I got lost in the fire
I tried to get away
But the flames grew higher
Too high for me



7. BELONGS TO NO ONE

I'm hanging on a threat
So much in me feels sick but I only want
To confront
What's meant for me with a hint of dignity

Dreadful to see
A life lived as a slave for the industry
Smothered fantasies
Gone down the drain along with the poison
running through the vein

I've felt the temptation
Pleasure gained by addiction
But I won't trade my pride for feeling good
I'll suffer just as much as I need to

I am not the one who's waiting for you
I won't give in I belong to no one
I am not the one with a guilty conscience
But it is wrong to belong to no one

I learned the hard way
To appreciate myself too much to love
Unconditionally
But so much control has left al hole in me

Suspicions wear me down
I will never be completely free
I'm a servant
Of my obsession to question everything

I've felt the temptation
Happiness gained by illusions
But I won't deceive my mind with substitutes
I'll rather grow as much as I need to

In the midst of chaos
On these decadent streets
I stand at the crossroads
Should I pretend or surrender



8. MY ISOLATION

Once again they tell me that I'm insensible
It must be true, It's always the same accusation

You don't feel well and you seek a reason,
I guess it's me, I guess it's my lack of compassion
And I fake to sympathize
With the struggles you endure every single day

These desperate cries
Surround my isolation
I wanna be alone
Am I whole? Am I hollow?

When heaven descends to the
Palms of my hands
I wanna be alone
Am I whole? Am I hollow?

Before my eyes the most beautiful girl cries
Still I run to avoid any complications



9. RID OF ME

I am desperately seeking
More ways to believe in
The sensation of a second chance
I was so unaware of all
And I surely wasn't ready
When you dropped the bomb

Now you wanna get rid of me
Does it mean you didn't feel
All the things that I
Thought would last forever

Now you wanna get rid of me
Does it mean it wasn't real
When you told me that you
Loved me more that ever

I've been beaten and mugged
I've been lynched, I've been cut
But never before left to rot
I'm down on the pavement
But blood is the least
Of my worries right now

Forever and ever
You break me, you breakme into pieces
My savior, pretender
You break me, you break me into pieces



10. ORDINARY DAY

Reflection unharmed
Cold stares of the strangers
Are like a mirror into my life
Frozen and undermined

No longer can I
Rembember the last time
I was afraid for something
I chose to give up on everything

It's all the same
On an ordinary day
I'm in my place
In my disgrace

Nothing's changed
It's an ordinary day
Myself to live for
No one and no cause to die for

Like yesterday
Today I disguise the way
I resent every breath we waste
Everytime I choose to collaborate

Go with the flow
Refuse the see signs
That we're treading the ground we live on
Into a wasteland of American dreams



11. END OF THE WORLD

Terror in the eyes of a child
Weapon in the arms of a woman
Survival in the heart of a killer

And here we are
Seeking for a revolution
But after all
Is there anything left to be amended

It will all be over any second now
Don't wait for tomorrow
Do us a favor and stop the dreaming

So.. It's the end of the world
Hey.. It's the end of the world

Smoke blocking the sun
Dust fading the shade of green
Can you now see true colors

Of who we are
We're the essence of pollution
And face the truth
We're too late to be purified

And It's here
The day before tomorrow

So.. It's the end of the world
Hey.. It's the end of the world
