Are You Alive In Here?

Are you live in here?
Whatcha gonna do when the music stops?
How will you outrun the ticking clock?
What will it be like when the playtime ends
Who will you be up around the bend?
Can you build a life from a new set of blocks?
Did you scorch the foundation or secure it with rocks?
Can you find your way home with a faulty map?
Like a no-good zombie that don't look back?
Are you alive in here?
Are you alive?
Whatcha gonna do with thoughts declining?
Whatcha gonna do when your brain is striking?
When everything you ever took for granted
Crumbles and leaves you crippled and weak
Whatcha gonna do when the cash flow ends?
Whatcha gonna do when your lifestyle stops?
How does it feel to be all alone
when inside your head is not a nice place to be?
Are you alive...

Armies of Love
03:37

Here come the beloved ones
Lovers on parade
Here comes his beloved one
Fully comitted slave
They carress with broken handshakes
And pictures long erased
Here come the armies of love
Here come the sickened ones
Freakshows on parade
Here come the broken ones
The ones who never were
Takes satisfaction in moulded crumbs
The small taste of sweet embrace
Here come the armies of love
Here comes the crippled man
Here comes the heart of stone
Here comes the wasted heart blood
from people never known
In the name of love

Take It All

Take all of your feelings
and hang them on a string
with all our hidden romance
and songs we forgot to sing
Take out all the masks we wore
If you've got the time
You go ahead and bury your past
I'll drink up mine
I know the pain that eats you up inside
I know the pain that eats you up inside
I know the pain that eats you up inside
I know exactly what it's like
Take all of your horoscopes
and tear the future down
I saw it in your eyes one day
You be prophet, and I'll be the clown
Throw away all the winters
and keep the summer rain
I'd like to join your paradise
But too much sweetness in the pain
I know the pain...

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
I'm lost in a sea of corrosion
That is my sickness
Then where is the cure?
Where is the cure?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
It feels like a maze of tangled emotions
An infinite void
What is the point of moving on
When the end is certain?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?

It turns you on to be in command
'cause your wife can't do it for you
It gives you pleasure to shove them in the mud
Deep inside you just want to be worshipped
So break down the weak ones, tear them apart
Don't let them get on their feet
You might be nothing outside this room
But in this moment you can be king
That's the beauty of being a facist
You get to push the weak around
You get to kick them when they're down
It makes you feel like a big man, don't it?
Each day gets harder with no colour in life
Find a victim for your frustrations
Best pick someone who can't fight back
That way it's a win/win battle
Pretend you got no feelings involved
It's all by the book of rules
Hang up the weak ones in you stone-age ideals
You know it gives you pleasure
That's the beauty....

I've Been Around
03:45

I've been around
But it hasn't changed a thing
I've been around
It don't mean anything
Nothing ever changes
It's sickness from within
Nothing seems to stick
It simply overflows
If your heart offends you
cut it out
If your mind betrays you
let it die
And if the world forgets you
go numb
I've been around
Now my eyes are open
I've been around
There's nothing new to see
Nothing grows from nothing
You cannot break a bad curve
Do you really wanna live to feel this?
Do you really need to be confirmed?
If your heart...
The horizon is grey
And everything beyond it
Never meant a thing
The horizon fades
And all we had to keep
Crumbles in our hands
If your heart...

Broken Heart
03:29

It feels so sad to be looking at the stars alone
I'd rather give in to sorrow
Than keep going on my own
The joke is on you, The joke is on me
It feels so wrong to be saying these words out loud
I'd rather tear my heart out
Than let it turn to stone
The joke is on you, the joke is on me
This is a love song
But the love is yet to come
This is a love song
The broken heart of no one
It feels so strange to be writing this song on my knees
I wish I could see through this
But I'm not given any choice
The joke is on you, the joke is on me
This is a love song...
So cry it out loud
Hang on to what's left
So cry it out loud
Before it slips away
This is a love song...

My Words

These hours I can't dream any longer
Time has run off track
I'd take forever and a day
This hopeless dreamer in your arms
is getting cold
I'd take forever and a day here with you
So many dreams I'd like to live out
So many things I'd like to say
So many times I tried to tell you
But my words got lost along the way
All these years I thought I was someone
I couldn't be
I'd take forever and a day
Now I know I'm just growing older
and we're growing apart
I'd take forever and a day here with you
So many dreams...

Sweetest touch
------------------------
This is where the spell breaks
This is where the ground drops
This is where the dream ends
this is where the line stops
There is no pain
Once you turn it off
There is no love
Once you've given up
There will be no end
Once you have begun
There can be no hope
This is just a dead end
I guess you took a wrong turn
This is where your heart fails
And your dreams turn you down
There is no pain...
This is the sweetest touch
And you are the sweetest drug
But once your eyes can see
the spell is gone
There is no pain...

(Emotional Deficiency Syndrome)
Someone take this picture away
Someone tear it apart
It's not the right thing anymore
I want something else
Someone tear out my memory
Someone erase what I know of me
There is no life here anymore
I want another mind
Destruction sounds so sweet tonight
Destruction cleanse my mind and make it right
Destruction strip me off of what I feel
The thought of living on is too unreal
Someone break this mirror
Someone kill these emotions
I want to disappear
Become completely new
Destruction...
What a waste of time
What a waste of mind
What a waste of time
What a waste of life

Pulse

Choke my heart with gasoline
Cry my breath out loud
Release me from the toxic night
Loose the grip from my throat
Forever abandoned in the night
Covered by shades of darkness
Hiding from inevitable truths
Behind a wall of silence
The beating of your heart leads me on
The rhythm of your thoughts gets me through
The street it echoes with emptiness
of tired, sorry souls
A shadow, a shade, a silhouette
A being with no name
The beating of your heart...
