THE BURNING EMPTINESS IN OUR MINDS
CAUSED BY THE LOSS OF A FAMILIAR PART OF OURSELVES
A FREE DECISION OF A FREE PERSONALITY
A DAILY SCENE WITH AN EMOTIONAL IMPACT
WE DIDN’T KNOW TILL WE’RE AFFECTED
WE CANNOT UNDO THIS
BUT WE CAN TRY TO UNDERSTAND

THIS IS SURREAL I CAN’T BELIEF
WITHIN THESE DAYS I RECOGNIZE AND SEE
THE BLINDNESS OF MY INNER EYE
NEED TO AWAKE OF THIS NIGHTMARE
YOU KNEW YOU COULD CONFIDE IN ME
YOUR EVERY FEAR WE’D GOT ANOTHER WAY
THAN THIS LAST RESORT
BUT YOUR DECISION WAS A FINAL STROKE
IN TEARS YOU WROTE
THESE LAST LINES
FOR US TO SAY GOODBYE
WON’T GET TO KNOW
THE REASONS FOR
YOUR BEHAVIOR
IN DARKEST DAYS
MEMORIALS REFLECT OUR MEMORIES
CAN’T BE ERASED
WILL LAST FOREVER WITHIN OUR FAITH
THE SUN WON’T WARM MY MIND AGAIN
I’M DROWNING IN THESE HOURS OF IGNORANCE
THE REASON I CANNOT FIND
IS LIKE THE FEELINGS YOU DENIED
I REFLECT OUR DAYS OF YOUTH
WHEN WE’VE SWORN WE’LL WALK THE HELL THROUGH
AND NOW I’M HERE WITHOUT YOUR AID
MAY A SIGN WOULD LEAD ME OUT
NO FINAL WORDS
NO CHANCE FOR A BID FAREWELL
WE’LL CARRY YOU FORTH IN OUR HEARTS
CAUSE THIS MEMORIAL REMAINS
AND WILL REMIND US WHO YOU WERE

Sight Of Blindness

WITH OPEN EYES I DIDN’T REALIZE
THAT I WAS THAT BLIND COULDN’T FIND MY MIND
IN A HOLE WITHIN A DARK BLACK CHAPTER IN MY HEAD
BEEN WALKING THROUGH THE DEPTHS AND DIDN’T REALIZE
TILL THEY’VE DRAWN MY ATTENTION - REAL UP MYSELF
FOCUSED MY OBJECTIVES AND LOST THE SIGHT OF MY ENCOURAGE
NO STOP AT NOTHING WAS THE TRIGGER FOUND MYSELF A STRANGER
THE ASHES IN MY HANDS
ASPHYXIATION
BLOWING OFF MY LIFE
TO END THIS CHAPTER
THROUGH DUST I WALK IN – NOWHERE
A NEW DIMENSION – ANYWHERE
TRYING TO REBUILD
THESE SHARDS OF MY LIFE
TELL ME WHAT’S WRONG WHAT’S RIGHT OR DON’T YOU EVEN KNOW
WELL THERE IS NO PREDICTION WHICH ONE IS YOUR WAY
I NEVER MINDED WHAT THEY SAY BECAUSE I AM WHO I AM
HANDLE MY LIFE AND IF I FAIL I FAIL FOR WHAT I AM
SPITTING OUT DUST AND SHADES
I SEE RISING MY DISGRACE
WITH OPEN EYES I SEE THE SIGHT OF BLINDNESS
IN A HAZE I SEE THE RAY
WITH OPEN EYES I DIDN’T REALIZE
THAT I WAS THAT BLIND COULDN’T FIND MY MIND
IN A HOLE WITHIN A DARK BLACK CHAPTER IN MY HEAD
OH NO THIS ISN’T ME
A SHADOW OF MYSELF

LOOKING FOR THE PATH
THAT I HAVE GOT TO GO
WHO THE FUCK HAS EVER
SPOILED IT FOR ME
ALL OF MY DEFAULTS
CANNOT BE DENIED
THERE’S NO HELPING HAND
SO I’VE TO STAND BY
NO I WON’T GET ON
IF I DON’T LEAVE ALL
VICES STRAIGHT BEHIND
AS I LEFT MY MIND
WELL I KNOW IT’S HARD
NEED TO REALIZE
IT’S MY CHANCE TO CHANGE
I HAVE TO CHANGE
NO ONE BUT ME
CAN EVER BREAK MY FATE
I AM THE ONE
TO TAKE CHARGE OF MY LIFE
BEFORE US ALL
SO I PUT THE BLAME
ON MY FELLOW MEN
MY OBSESSION LED ME
CAN’T THINK FREE
MY SUPPRESSION IS
MY CREATION
WHO HAS TO PAY FOR?
OH I BLAME FOR THAT FUCK
BREAK PRIORITIES
INSTEAD MY ENEMY
WRECKING ME
FROM WITHIN MY MIND
I BECAME WHAT I’VE NEVER WANTED TO BE
(I) MADE MYSELF AN ENEMY
HELP, I NEED BE FREE HOLD ME FEELINGS WRECKING ME AND I CAN’T SEE CLEAR
CAN’T ACCOUNT FOR ALL I’VE DONE

Sensations
02:59
|

|
TRYING TO BE THE ONE
FOR YOU I’M CRYING – LAUGHING
BUT THAT’S NOT WHO I AM
I CANNOT HATE – NOT LOVE YOU
CAUSE I AM NOT AND WON’T BE YOUR MARIONETTE
AND I WILL NOT DISGUISE MYSELF FOR YOU
NO ONE AND NOTHING CAN FORCE MY SENSATIONS – IF I EVEN CAN’T
JUST HANDLE BY INSTINCT AND DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT
BELIEF IN YOURSELF
TELL ME WHAT YOU EXPECT
WHETHER YOU SCREAM OR WHISPER IT
NO LONGER I WILL WAIT
FOR REASONS I WON’T SEE THROUGH
LOVE IS DEATH
I AM FREE
BELIEF MYSELF
NO ONE CAN FORCE SENSATIONS
THIS
LOVE – HATE – LAUGHING – CRYING
SCREAM – WHISPER – THESE THINGS I WON’T SEE THROUGH

DREAMING AWAKENING
AND NOTHING IS THE SAME
A BROKEN HEART IN MY CHEST
WITHIN A BADGE OF SHAME
THERE’S NO WAY TO EXPRESS
HATE SEETHING IN ME
I’M SICK OF YOU ADVICES
I AM FREE
WHILE THOUGHTS ARE RISING
A MIRROR REFLECTS MY FACE THIS ISN’T ME
I CAN’T DENY THAT
CHANGE OF MYSELF WITHIN THESE SHATTERED DAYS
I HATE THE GAME I’M IN
BUT NO ONE GOT THE CHOICE
THIS LEVEL’S YOUR DEFEAT
SO YOU’RE LOSING POISE
MY MIND IS TENSING UP
I SEE YOU’RE HEAD HELD HIGH
IF LOOKS COULD KILL
YOU’D PASSING BY
I WISH THAT I’VE NEVER MET YOU
I WISH I COULD HAVE SAVED THIS PAIN
JUST FOR YOUR HUMILIATION
SLEEPLESS NIGHTS FULL OF NIGHTMARES
AN ENDLESS WAIT FOR SALVATION

RECALLS OUR DAYS
I WANT YOU TO NOTICE

I DENY THE CIRCUMSTANCE
THESE DAYS OF SORROW
MY LOST CHANCE
DON’T PSYCH OUT WITH THE RESULTS
WON’T CLOSE MY EYES
TILL THERE’S A REAL FACT
WON’T REALIZE
HATRED OF ALL THIS LOST DAYS

I’D LIKE TO SEE THE DAYS
WHEN I AM GONE
OUT OF YOUR HEADS
NOTHING REMAINS
I AM ON MY KNEES BARGAINING
WITH THE ANGELS TO SET ME FREE
LOSE MY FAITH
AS THE ANGELS LOST THEIR HELPING HAND
ON THE EDGE OF DESPERATION
WHY IS IT ME
WHERE’S MY CHANCE
I AM FALLING IN THE DEPTH
TO ASHES
CAN’T QUIT THIS AGONY
I’LL BE FREE
WAITING FOR MY DEMISE
MY DAYS ARE NUMBERED
DEFEAT A CHANCE

THE STRUGGLE I RESIGNED
FOREVER BLIND

WISHING THINGS I’LL NEVER GET
PRAYING ON MY KNEES FOR HELP

WANT YOU TO BE HERE AT ALL
OH I NEED YOU MORE THAN ALL
REACHING FOR THE LITTLEST SIGNS
TO STOP MY MIND GETTING BLIND
WHERE IS MY WAY TO GET OUT
FALLING DEEPER BLEEDING OUT
HEAL MY WOUNDS
FORGIVE MY SINS
WIPE MY TEARS
FADE MY FEARS
[MY MIND FADES
HOLD ON ME
PLEASE FULFILL
MY DEATH-BED WILL]
CAN’T BELIEF THAT MY LIFE IS THROUGH
I WOULDN’T WASTE IT IF I KNEW
NEVER THOUGHT THE DAY WILL COME
SURE BUT NOT WHEN I AM THAT YOUNG
TO EXCUSE FOR ALL THAT DEEDS
ALL THE MISTAKES AND MISCHIEF
IF I COULD I WOULD DIAL BACK
REMEMBER ME I WON’T COME BACK
PARALYZED I LAY
IN THE GRAVED BEEN SHOVELED FOR ME
MY WHOLE LIFE I SEE
A SILENT SCREAM SOAKS THROUGH MY BODY
