A Place to Call Hell
03:05
|
|||
I'm losing grip on my sanity
My subconscious is tormenting me for reasons I can't even seem to understand
I wear it every day like a boulder on my shoulders
I can feel its weight, its crushing pressure
Get me out of this broken shell
Get me out of this mental cell
Every day is repeating itself
I have created a place to call Hell
A place I can't even rest my head
I wish I could be someone else instead
Inflicting nothing but misery
It’s taken everything
Everything from me
There's no escape, there's nowhere to run
First thing in the morning
I hear it calling my name
I can feel myself collapsing
The pressure is overwhelming
Knock knock
Who's there motherfucker?
Me again, 5AM motherfucker!
Fuck, why can't you stay out of my head?
No, I'm never leaving you my old friend
My old friend!
Let's kiss the Devil's hand
A place I can't even rest my head
I wish I could be someone else instead
Inflicting nothing but misery
It’s taking everything from me

Ruthless Waters
01:55
|
|||
Overwhelmed over nothing
the simplest thing appears frightening
Concrete shoes are pulling me
Dragging me down into the sea
Ocean of anxiety
Washing over silently
Swallowing my being in totality
Always broke, always tired
No hope for things to get better
Struggling every hour
Just to keep my head on
Hiding behind laughter
As the air surrounding me grows colder
No lighthouse, no lifesaver
Nothing to guide me in the ruthless water
No lighthouse, no lifesaver
Nothing to guide me in the ruthless water

Threat to Myself
03:00
|
|||
Wasting the clock away, leading myself astray
Plunging in my self-decay
I have lost my way
I have lost my way
Without a single sound,
the leaves fall to the ground
and the months keep passing me by
I have lost my way
I have lost my way
Further and further, I stray
The grains of sand carry on their descent
Falling faster by the hour
Tomorrow is already dead, murdered by these thoughts never put in motion
Tomorrow is a day I dread; I fear that my actions won't lead me ahead
I know I can do better instead
I know I'm more than a threat to myself
I know I can do better instead
I know I'm more than a threat to myself
Decades are fading before my eyes
A quarter of life in the blink of an eye
Fuck
Quarter of life in the blink of an eye
So many years gone by
Decades are fading before my eyes
A quarter of life in the blink of an eye
Wasting the clock away, leading myself astray
Plunging in my self-decay
I have lost my way
I have lost my way
Without a single sound,
the leaves fall to the ground
and the years keep passing me by
I have lost my way
I have lost my way

New Design
02:29
|
|||
No peace of mind
Anguish dwelling in my skin
Devouring from within
Poison coursing through my veins
Creepin’ its way inside my fucking brain
No chance to find the state of mind
You have been longing all this time
How many days has it been
Since you've been at peace within?
Can't find shelter from the rain
I never stop to feel the pain
No peace of mind
My heart is numb, my soul is blind
I wish that I could make a change
And free myself from these chains
No peace of mind,
My heart is numb, my new design
Its breaching my defenses
Petrifying my senses
A constant crushing feeling
Annihilating my well-being
No peace of mind, my new design.

By a Thread
02:20
|

No one to blame but myself
For the countless times I have tried and failed
For the absence of stories to tell
I blame myself
Countless times I have tried and failed
I let the addiction prevail
I'm fighting against myself
A battle lost a thousand times before
I keep giving up instead
of pushing further when it gets harder
No one to blame but myself
A war inside my head, the battlefield is leaving me brain dead
My sanity is hanging by a thread
Chaos is raging I just want it to end
I just want it to end
Countless times I have tried and failed
I know I've got
No one to blame but myself
Just let the addiction prevail
Let the addiction prevail
A war is raging on inside my head
My sanity is hanging by a thread
Chaos is raging just make it end
My sanity is hanging by a thread
No one to blame but myself

The Countdown
02:57
|
|||
Cruel, cold, evil hours
Stripping us from what is ours
Leading us all to be slaughtered
Rich, poor, sons and daughters
Soldiers of the reaper
Carrying us to eternal slumber
Shovels digging deeper
Patiently waiting to put us under
They never sleep, they never tire
Dancing flame slowly dying
The candle's melting as I'm breathing
My own two lungs suffocating
In the end, we are nothing
Chacune d'elles te rappelle
Que la dernière est mortelle
Dancing flame slowly dying
The candle's melting as I'm breathing
My own two lungs suffocating
Toutes blessent, la dernière tue
Time’s up

The Fog of your Mind
02:54
|
|||
So much to cherish
Why don’t you open your eyes and appreciate
You keep falling in the same old shit
The fog of your mind is fucking way too thick
Blinded by pain
Negative mind
Trying in vain
27 and I’m still afraid of the dark
Slowly making my way out
Seeking for comfort
I’ve been locked in my own mind
Climbing up climbing up I fall every time
I keep seeking for comfort of any kind
But I fall every time
I’ve been locked in my own mind
Climbing up climbing up I fall every time
I keep searching for comfort of any kind
The wrong type of help is what I find
Down again
Veiled perception
The hammer falls on the head of the wretched
Still afraid
To make decisions
The hammer falls on the head of the wretched
Cynical motherfucker
I hate the way you think
I’ve been locked in my own mind
Climbing up climbing up I fall every time
I keep searching for comfort of any kind
But I fall every time
I’ve been locked in my own mind
Climbing up climbing up I fall every time
I keep searching for comfort of any kind
The wrong kind of help is what I find

Rotten Foundations
01:13
|
|||
I thought I'd escaped it
but it came back haunting me
I thought I was over it
but my thoughts won't let me be
No communication,
deprived of attention
Rotten foundation
for a doomed relation
You kept it all inside, no fucking solutions (no fucking solutions)
I could never live up to your expectations
Bitch
You never gave me the key
I've always been the untrustworthy

Roaming
02:55
|
|||
I often find my mind wandering the same places
wondering if I made the right choices
The people I've met, their names and faces
Would it be the same under different circumstances? But I wouldn't change a thing
Because the friends I’ve made are worth every tear
Despite a few things left to worry about
I'm happy to see how it all turned out
I still have a few things left to scream about
But these are the things I can't live without
The passion that drives my days through ‘n’ trough
Will always be for the abrasive and rude
The yelling, the screaming for some is overwhelming
But I’m not at peace until my ears are bleeding
Despite a few things left to worry about
I'm happy to see how it all turned out
I still have a few things left to scream about
But these are the things I can't live without
