Already Broken

|
chorus
I didn't do this to you
you did it to yourself man
you did it to yourself
you were already broken
verse 1
why should I feel guilty
we are not the same
but I cannot shake this feeling
that I'm somehow to blame
and I can feel them watching
to see what I will do
as if I am a monster
verse 2
I look over my shoulder
and I see no one there
but I can feel them judging
and something in the air
makes me feel uneasy
and I am unprepared
for what is gonna happen

Devil's Game
04:56
|
|||
|
chorus
will I admit that I miss you?
will I admit that I failed you?
will I admit that I forsook you?
will I admit that I let you down?
verse 1
you indulged when darkness called
with nothing there to break your fall
headlong into the night you fell
and found yourself in living hell
verse 2
when you play the devil's game
win or lose he'll know your name
and call on you again and again
you'll do his bidding until the end
bridge
not even to myself will I admit how I feel
outro
not even to myself will I admit that I miss you

Liar
06:22
|
|||
|
alone in your room
you ponder the thing that you've done
you'd like to be sorry
sorry is what you've become
you don't need to speak
every breath is a lie
your presence is toxic
all that you cherish will die
|

Nobody
07:07
|
|||
|
chorus
I'm looking for you, were you looking for me?
you happen along, we happen to meet
before I forget and you get on your way
I got a couple of things I needed to say
verse 1
no one wants to be in a room with you
no one wants to hear about the things you do
nobody, nobody, fucking nobody
no one wants to listen what you have to say
no one wants to hear about your escapades
nobody, nobody, fucking nobody
verse 2
no one wants to hear about the things you did
no one wants to learn about the things you hid
nobody, nobody, fucking nobody
no one wants to hear about your reasons why
no one wants to hear about how hard you tried
nobody, nobody, fucking nobody
outro
nobody's gonna wonder what you're doing now
nobody's gonna ask when you don't come around
nobody's gonna have a good thing to remember
nobody's gonna tell you that your life has worth
nobody's gonna tell you you should stick around
nobody's gonna tell you that you have a reason to keep living
nobody's gonna miss you when you're dead and gone
nobody's gonna stop you if you speed it along
nobody's gonna tell you that you have a reason to keep breathing
nobody's gonna make you put the razor down
nobody's gonna help you when you're bleeding out
nobody's gonna show up to your funeral

Nightmare
05:20
|
|||
|
verse 1
this is the quiet of your terror
all senses heightened
accept the nightmare is forever
all shadows lengthen
this is a frightening behavior
all reason long gone
cry out your adamant denial
no no no no no
chorus
I think your boots are too heavy
you can hardly walk
I know you wanna be alone
but you don't have to be alone
verse 2
they'll say you probably had it coming
the way you dressed up
they'll cite your flirty conversation
your tragic makeup
they'll say you wanted it to happen
you didn't fight back
cry out your adamant denial
no no no no no
outro
won't make a difference
asleep or awake
nightmare is coming
in either case
keep your eyes open
don't hold your breath
nightmare is coming
won't let you rest
you don't have salvation
you don't have a prayer
nightmare is coming
to give you a scare
let out your last breath
give in to your fear
nightmare is coming
nightmare is here

Shadow Caster
03:49
|
|||
|
verse 1
he wears you down insisting
he wants to play a game
persisiting and convincing
that you come along and play
his shadow thoughts are wreckin
and echo in your brain
demanding and commanding
you to quietly obey
chorus
unchain your demon
unhinge your reason
now you have a secret
take it to the grave
there's no one that you could have told
verse 2
he strips away your power
he learns you how to hate
caressing and undressing you
he teaches you of shame
your haven is affliction
for you no place is safe
he's creepin while you're sleepin
and he finds your hiding place
outro
you try to overcome
you will fail
you try to forget
you will fail
you call upon your friends
they will fail
you cast about for hope
you find despair

Bleed
03:20
|
|||
|
verse 1
I know you don't wanna see
that's why I wear a mask
I know you wouldn't approve
I didn't fucking ask
but this is what I must do
it's how I regulate
I need to feel a release
chorus
you wanna leave
so go
you won't believe
then go
I'm gonna bleed
I'm gonna bleed
verse 2
I catch a look in your eye
and so I set it down
you didn't wanna know why
I had to set it down
my body anticipates
my skin is reaching out
I need to feel a release

Permanent Solution
04:57
|
|||
|
desperately I embrace it
comforts me to unmake it
no more fear no more hiding
no more shame no more lying
can't think of anything to say to you
and even if I could I refuse
my final victory, my resting place
I made it permanent, and sealed my fate
it's taken everything but I'm finally here
although I don't know where precisely this is, I have no fear
I can't feel anything, completely numb
I took a freight train to oblivion, I succumb

Forever Sleep
04:15
|
|||
|
I don't know how you got along
you kept it hidden for too long
the burden so great so heavy the weight
and then at last you let me know
revealed the pain you never showed
when i didn't believe you asked me to leave
what was the last thing on your mind?
did you recall a pleasant time?
or was it fear and hate and guilt and shame?
or was it only pain?
I wish I would've understood
I'd trade you places if I could
I would take your pain but it's too late
I know you did the best you can
and who but you can understand
but you didn't have to die and you didn't say goodbye
when you chose forever sleep
