Abandoned
01:35

I’m the living dead taking it into high gear
I’ve been taking this shit for over nineteen years
No pain no gain but everything is painful
Mindfucks pushing hard from out of my skull
I’m a motherfucking skeleton fighting for survival
All of your bleeding will give the revival
That I need!
I won’t be another one of your victims
I escaped into abandonment
But now you’re chasing me for punishment
I won’t be another one of your victims

I’m never one for discussion
But I’m always a repercussion
Just happens that I
Am in the wrong place at the wrong time
I know where I stand
Blood stain on my hand
I wait for the silence to stop hurting
My broken conscious won’t stop deserting
Here I don’t wait for the sunshine
Cos I am the shadow’s outline
Cursing at the wind
Forgive me I have sinned
I will wait
For my fate
I’m never one for discussion
But I’m always a repercussion
Just happens that I
Am in the wrong place at the wrong time
I know where I stand
Blood stain on my hand
Wandering on the street
Becoming socially obsolete
Watch my mind detonate
Exploding at an unplanned date
Difficulties in my childhood
Takes the blame, would you pay with blood?
Cursing at the wind
Forgive me I have sinned
I will wait
For my fate
I’m never one for discussion
But I’m always a repercussion
Just happens that I
Am in the wrong place at the wrong time
I know where I stand
Blood stain on my hand
I'm feeling all the shock of my action
No equal or opposite reaction
I don’t want to fight
I just want to be out of sight
Locked me away for my own good
Help me bring back innocent blood
Cursing at the wind
Forgive me I have sinned
I will wait
For my fate
I’m never one for discussion
But I’m always a repercussion
Just happens that I
Am in the wrong place at the wrong time
I know where I stand
Blood stain on my hand
Tears stream down my face
I finish last but I’m not in this race

Insomnia - Daybreak
04:22
|
|||
I close my eyes but my mind won’t let me sleep
My thoughts overload and I start to weep
I close my eyes; nothing works and I remain this way
Every night and day
Insomnia has taken my mind
Anxiety is now part of my life
And I wake up to black skies
And I struggle though tired eyes
Will this living nightmare become a dream?
And I fall into darkness
And I’m trapped in this sickness
Will you leave me in peace?
I close my eyes but my mind won’t let me enter my slumber
Can you justify all the reasons you’re inside my head?
Tearing me to shreds
Insomnia has taken my mind
Anxiety is now part of my life
And I wake up to black skies
And I struggle though tired eyes
Will this living nightmare become a dream?
And I fall into darkness
And I’m trapped in this sickness
Will you leave me in peace?
Another night of suffering, it seizes hold of me
Another night of torture, it seizes hold of me
Another night of agony, it seizes hold of me
Another night of restlessness, it seizes hold of me
Another night of suffering, will it ever go away?
Another night of torture, will it ever go away?
Another night of agony, will it ever go away?
Another night of restlessness, will it ever go away?

Live Your Life That Way
04:01
|

How do you sleep at night?
When bullshit reaches new heights
From so close I feel the distance
Just one more hit, it’s never enough
You wake up every morning feeling fucking rough
Why do we have to see your existence?
If you wanna live your life that way
I won’t save you when things will go wrong
You used to be the one everyone took to
Lying with the dead is where you now belong
Intoxication
Inebriation
Can’t you see that it’s fucked you up?
But still you can’t resist
One more taste of death
Can’t you see that it’s killing you?
If you wanna live your life that way
I won’t save you when things will go wrong
You used to be the one everyone took to
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go?
You’re on your own
We tried to help
This pain that you have given us
Where did you go?
You’re on your own
We tried to help
Your arrogance has betrayed us
Where did you go?
You’re on your own
Your dead inside
If you wanna live that way
Be prepared to throw away
All the love and all the trust and all the memories
Drink yourself to death
If you wanna fuck your life that way
I won’t save you when things will go wrong
You used to be the one that I looked up
Now you’re just a memory that couldn’t stay strong
Where did you go?

Crash!

They keep telling me not to move
They keep telling me to stay still
I can’t see what is happening
I can’t move with my own will
About thirty minutes ago
I was travelling at speed
Feeling rather quirky
With a head full of weed
I remember seeing the lights in front of me
I am a member of the horticultural society
Does this mean I can’t see
An accident I think thats whats happened to me
They keep telling me not to smoke
They keep telling me to rest
I refuted them as a joke
Cos I always know best
Anaesthetics have no effect
I'll deal with myself direct
Just one more hit and I'll be fine
What a perfect waste of time
I remember seeing the lights in front of me
I am a member of the horticultural society
Does this mean I can’t see
An accident I think thats whats happened to me
I will run away
From this place of misery
Where in the world I am son
Going, going, gone
WAKE UP!
Fuck health and safety
I live my own way
Give me the key
I'm riding off today
I remember seeing the lights in front of me
I am a member of the horticultural society
Does this mean I can’t see
An accident I think thats whats happened to me
Does this mean I can’t see
An accident I think thats whats happened to me

Death
02:49

You’ve come for me
Yet you’ve been waiting for me
I’ll wait for you
You’ve planned this day
Yet you’re surprised to see me
I’ll see this through
I’ll die for you
Be the one to kill me
So take away the part of me that keeps me alive
Break it to a thousand pieces
I feel less suffering
I’m feeling more acclimatised to what is dying
Nobody here can hear me crying
You’ve come for me
Yet you’ve been waiting for me
I’ll wait for you
You’ve planned this day
Yet you’re surprised to see me
I’ll see this through
Carve my name onto this stone
Fly into the great unknown
I’ll die for you
Be the one to kill me

A Song For Yourself
04:50

Can’t seem to think or make my own direction
Lost on the road without my friends as protection
This is a journey that you've gotta face
To reach to summit, to feel the breeze
To face the facts that won’t approach with ease
This is your life, you've gotta find your place
We’ll face invasion
We’ll need protection
From all the things we’ve feared
The end is near
Yeah! You gotta be yourself
Yeah! Don’t ever lose yourself
Yeah! You gotta fight for yourself
Cos real life is everything
Cos facelessness makes suffering
Yeah! You gotta be yourself
Yeah! Don’t ever lose yourself
Yeah! You gotta fight for yourself
Cos real life is everything
Cos facelessness makes suffering
Yeah!
Why do you seek attention?
You think that you’re perfection but there’s no one by your side
Why should you gain recognition?
Just look at reality, there’s no one here by your side
Your fake inception
Reveals defections
Your vision’s never clear
Your end is here
Yeah! You gotta be yourself
Yeah! Don’t ever lose yourself
Yeah! You gotta fight for yourself
Cos real life is everything
Cos facelessness makes suffering
Yeah! You gotta be yourself
Yeah! Don’t ever lose yourself
Yeah! You gotta fight for yourself
Cos real life is everything
Cos facelessness makes suffering
Yeah!
We’ll face invasion
We’ll need protection
From all the things we’ve feared
The end is near
Yeah! You gotta be yourself
Yeah! Don’t ever lose yourself
Yeah! You gotta fight for yourself
Cos real life is everything
Cos facelessness makes suffering
Yeah! You gotta be yourself
Yeah! Don’t ever lose yourself
Yeah! You gotta fight for yourself
Cos
Cos real life is everything
Cos facelessness makes suffering

Away From Home

Call me inconsiderate
When you’re just insensitive
Speaking out your opinions
Spoils all things positive
What changed kid?
I never saw it coming
Nothing changed but
You could see me running
AWAY!
From home!
Call me inconsiderate
Then what we have won't ever last
Do you remember all our good times we shared
Well that’s all in the past
So I’ll take some time to think things through
But don’t hold your breath until I forgive you
What changed kid?
I never saw it coming
Nothing changed but
You could see me running
AWAY!
From home!
So where do I go from here
My worst nightmare that I’ve feared
Call me inconsiderate
When you’re just insensitive
What changed kid?
I never saw it coming
Nothing changed but
You could see me running

What was your problem with me?
Looking for another row
Were you searching for an enemy?
Cos you’ve got one now!
When will you understand?
My life isn’t yours to take by the hand
Risking manipulation
Is your deprivation
I won’t let another motherfucker come into my life
And wreck everything
Destroy anything
I won’t let another motherfucker come into my life
And wreck everything
Destroy anything
Your arrogance
Masks your confidence
So naive
You have no defence
I will never let you kick the shit out of me
So leave my sight
And head into the night
I will never let you kick the shit out of me
So leave my sight
And head into the night
And I regret
Letting you come into my life
Bury away the past of all the things you’ve made into a mess
Stay away from everyone
EVERYONE!
Stay away from everyone
Stay away from everyone
EVERYONE!
I won’t let another motherfucker come into my life
And wreck everything
Destroy anything
I will never let you kick the shit out of me
So leave my sight
And head into the night
And I regret
Letting you come into my life
Bury away the past of all the things you’ve made into a mess
Stay away from everyone
EVERYONE!
Stay away from everyone
Stay away from everyone
Stay away from everyone
NOW!

Devotion
06:18
|

All I want is another day to hold you in my arms together
All I need is for you to tell me that you’ll love me for the rest of forever
This was the day when the skies were clear and the earth was turning
The scene was set and I hoped I was ready for this journey
I know there’s no such thing as perfection
But seeing you smile gives me reason to pay attention
I only had one thing to do, one thing that day
I had to kiss you and I’m pleased we’ve ended up this way
Patience is a virtue
When the timings right and it only takes two
We’ve a long road ahead but there’s nothing to fear
When all my life is here
All I want is another day to hold you in my arms together
All I need is for you to tell me that you’ll love me for the rest of forever
And ever
I know my fire will keep burning
All that I do
It’s all for you
My devotions will never let me go
My emotions will always let you know
Oh!
My devotions will never let me go
Oh!
My emotions will always let you know
This was the day when the skies were clear and the earth was turning
The scene was set and I hoped I was ready for this journey
I only had one thing to do, one thing that day
I had to kiss you and I never wanna have it any other way
Patience is a virtue
All I want is another day to hold you in my arms together
All I need is for you to tell me that you’ll love me for the rest of forever
And ever
I know my fire will keep burning
All I want is another day to hold you in my arms together
(Oh!
My devotions will never let me go)
All I need is for you to tell me that you’ll love me for the rest of forever
(Oh!
My emotions will always let you know)
And ever
I know my heart will keep on beating
All I long for is all the time to tell you that I’ll love you forever
And ever
And ever
My love

This endless gloom, it fills the room
I feel no happiness
As this despair is everywhere
I become hopeless
I’ve been trying to get my act together
But it’s hard to carry on when there is no forever
Wherever I go
I pretend that everything is alright
Even though this misery puts up a fight
Since we parted ways, the memories won’t erase
And I don’t know if I can take much more isolation
And I don’t know if I’ll escape this desolation
This darkest night, will be my sight
I feel this bitter cold
Living this life without a soul to share
Taking this heartbreak and all because I cared
I am just too scared from what’s in front of me and
All that’s encloses
I’ve been trying to get my shit together
But I can’t help but feel like I’m wasting my endeavours
Wherever I go
I pretend that everything is alright
Even though despondency puts up a fight
Since we parted ways, the memories won’t erase
And I don’t know if I can take much more separation
And I don’t know if I’ll escape this trepidation
Wherever I will go
No-one will ever know
Just how much I have been suffering
I don’t know if I can take much more pain now
But all I know is that one day everything will be alright
Are you the one that will make things alright tonight?
