IN YOUR EYES
The picture frames look so deserted now
Could never go back to a thought so far away
The pointed fingers, they were aimed at me
While the thumbs were directed at you
I'm dead in your eyes, I'm dead in your heart
I'm dead. Full stop.
I saw the mistakes and the spitting games
I tried to correct what was already ruined
I tried to save someone that wanted to kill me
I didn't succeed but they did
I'm dead in your eyes, I'm dead in your heart
I'm dead. Full stop.
I never knew what was the right move
but you were the first to correct me
I never meant for anything but love
Wasn't even the last thing that I got
I'm dead in my eyes. I'm dead in my heart
I don't remember from the start.
I'm dead in all eyes so how can I see you're alive?
To ever return my heart to a place that's so cold and dead
I'm dead in all eyes so why would I try to ever live for your lies again?
No, I'll never live for your lies again...

THE NUMBING HEART
It's like my head is scratching nails
It hurts the more with each thought
Bad dreaming about her and her and her
and what they meant to you
I remember the things you choose to forget
The stories still do not make sense
You could never been sincere
and I don't want to be here
Inside your web of lies
but here I lye
Dead and in love with whoever I made up
From the person you said you were
No, we are not over
It's my life that has come to an end
I promise my love forever
So stop my heart from beating if you can
No, we are not true
Whatever that's meant to be
I am yours and you are yours
and the rest we fail to see
Sometimes I need to escape
It hurts too much to be near you
I was so open. Now I'm shut in this jealous rage
Where all are words are broken and all memories have changed
When I look back at what they meant to me
Now I know I was the only one who saw them that way
All you can say is don't worry
Or when will you leave it alone?
Why did you have to do this to me?
You knew I would never get it out of my head
Next time, think with your heart

PERMANENT ERRORS
I feel death coming around the corner
Will it be stopping at my door this time?
If I was breathing any slower
I don't think that anyone would mind
It hurts in all the right places
From so many faces
Who promised to be true
I'm left with the permenent errors
I won't be feeling any warmer
The sickness, it just comes sooner
To make the room for more
Find me only when I play the part
Of the story I've read all before
I know life is always worse around the corner
and I'm always about to step off the road
If I could explain things easier, tell them faster
I still don't think that anybody could know
That it hurts...it hurts...it hurts...
I know life is always worse around the corner

PREVIOUSLY
I have been tiptoeing around the corners of my mind
Eventually they all catch up with each other
The distance is the amount of time I'm leaving behind
In the previous events is all there is to go forward with
Feeling this sickness vomit all over me
Left as the mess you always wanted me to be(tried to make me be)
Everybody can only go so far
and I have for too long, too much
Watch me as I cringe, feel me as I shiver
I could be as cold as the things that led me to be
Tell me there's still hope, make me believe
That anything I ever thought wasn't always(all) in vain
Throw me a life jacket, not just another punchline
You know that I am passed being amused by my sadness
I have been falling, falling into dreams
One day I'll never wake up from them again
The closer I see is the amount of things I'm being blinded to
In the future events I will not be able to turn back from
I feel myself only when delierious
Nothing I said was taken serious
Now don't be surprised after all your little white lies
When all that comes true is all that I predicted
From all you inflicted, from all you inflicted
Because you love me, because you love me...

SADNESS
Cannot bleed another day but I know my wounds are open
My tears will never shed the heart attacks of my love
I'm finding home is the last place you would want to be
Things you thought made sense were the ones that tricked you the most
In my pathways, I seeked adventure
At only the cost of myself
and so did everyone else, so did everyone else...
You can't regret what you intended
If you meant it at the time
You can't forget where you were when
you lost your mind
but you can remember that it's never coming back
(no, I'm never coming back, I'm never coming back)
My tired eyes sought a friend
Claiming a place of solitude
I always knew loneliness
but never this true
How can this be the end?
I never saw the birth
How can this be the end?
It never finishes

SEVER
I try to sever these thoughts
but they never want to part with me
I once could look into the sky
Now it looks away so vacantly
A thought cannot be shared
When it's reached this dead end
Only to become another weight
That cannot be lifted
I see too much through the bars I'm behind
Where being dead is always at the top of your wishlist
I heard a lot of words from many peoples mouths
Only later to find out they all were miming
If I ever used to know what sanity was
It's long since been all forgotten

TASTE THE DESPAIR
I'm huddled in a ball, looking for my tourist
My feelings are emptied and filled with only hurt
I looked for something new but all you get is the truth
That nothing changes as much as you want it to
Where to now?
I don't know how much longer I can breathe this air
It's stopping me from the things that I could be
and all I taste is despair
I'm caught up in my mind like a fish hook to my thoughts
The lies you've given to me and all of the results
I can't drink it away but I go there sometimes
Because I know that there is nothing else for me now
Because no one cares.
No one cares.
No one cares.
No one cares anymore.
No one cares at all.

TEARS OF GLASS
Breaking thoughts, losing the sense to make out of them.
Forgetting how I used to use them to make amends with myself
but those thoughts never seem to come around lately
Always on my way, seeking any road
Different to the one I'm on
It feels so unsteady and always out of my reach
but in the end seems to be the only thing
Pulling me across to the other side
Of wherever that may be
The pain is unbelievable
I find myself in time travel
Of the memories I never miss
So why do I have to remember
When it only hurts
Wasn't it bad enough what's happened?
Why do I have to be thinking about this?
How can you heal what's forever broken?
Taking back the words before they've left my lips
I don't need to say all these things that never quite fit
Into anybody else's mind
Never on my way, find another road to try to get down
It feels so unlike me, but I've been this way for years now
Back in the beginning, I could of jumped to the other sides
To wherever I thought I was going but where was I going?

THE RULES OF CHEMOTHERAPY
Am I dead already? Or has my heart just given up?
I believe there holds no reality, there's nothing that is true
and when you finally start to see, I will close my eyes
and when you come looking for me, I'll just say I told you
I feel my hours disappear, like my memories are flashing through time
Being pulled backwards, further into places I tried so much to leave behind
Well maybe intensity can loosens its mind
Or maybe in the jigsaw puzzle, the missing piece is all you find
I don't have any excuses for wanting to leave
There are just no more reasons left to stay
I would get down on my knees but I'm already crawling
My life is just here to play tricks on me but
it cannot catch me laughing
How can I describe a life worth living
If all I've done is died?
How can I feel that love's worth sharing
If all that's said is lies?
How do I know about losing sanity
If I've never known mine?
Never known mine, I've never known mine
Why won't you kill me(repeat)?
Is it because you know I'll be better off
and if suicide is all that looks attactive
Then why hesitate?
Even if you begged me, I could never change my feelings
They're trapped against the outskirts of my open mind
There is no such thing as really believing or knowing
It's just a place they show you to convince you that they're right

THE CONSEQUENCE
You put so much emptiness into my meanings
There's no way out from this dirty little hole
It's true, you shouldn't blame games with life
You could end up responsible for who the characters become
Now I, I have no feelings
Am I now everything you wanted me to be?
In the end, why is it only when you pretend
That they are happy?
Now I, I've disappeared
Back in time to so many years ago
When I must have chosen a path
That now has been thrown away
Left to face my darkest days alone
You gave me anger that left me in hate
but now it's worse then that, it's nothing
It's true, you will regret it all in time
but meanwhile through always asking
for more than you really wanted
I will start to look more and more like
all that you don't

ZOPICLONE
You never really intended for this
Isn't that usually where it's found?
At first it was so relieving to just know how to sleep
and for months I never come back around
You thought the worst of this sort of thing had been done
I felt mostly blankless and little euphoria
but all those little tablets kept niggling at me
and I realised it was only emptiness I was after
Like an unconscious body
Where the mind is still fighting outside
but it is so passed dying
Trying to make it back again
Was the only challenge I could channel in
You used to be pleasantly surprised to feel high again
but each pill was becoming more than a handful
I was a ghost to my former, I could feel no heroin
but there I was safer than where I was going
You tried to put an end to this
A few weeks here and there doesn't mean quitting
I'm stuck in a lifetime of addictions
and now there's only one left in the sachet
and it's me

EVERYTHING STOPS MEANING
The sliences of my rage are biting through my armour
All I can feel is this discomfort imbedded indefintely
I tell you I cannot live this way anymore
and then you give me more images to take on
but my heads already full up with them
Who can me feel a little better
let alone take away this despair
I'm not happy, not right in the head
I don't understand all of these things
I'm expected to
I can't agree to where I don't relate
and I have no problem with anyone who thinks a different way
but I always get made to sit on the spikey parts
on the other side of the gate
Crying out for pain relief, morphine come and take over me
Because I don't need to be here anymore
I never belong
The things I know are right, they will always say are wrong
Turn away from humanity, there's no compassion there for me
Just a never ending hole of darkness
They're always trying to push me in
but I'm already in it and I can't get out
As long as I stay here
Rotting next to their carcasses
I wish that I could just put on a mask and pretend I'm happy there
That you could switch your remote and I could respond accordingly
Believe me, life would feel so much easier, I would never
Have to think or feel to care that you're hurting me
So who can make me feel a little more desperate?
Calling once, twice, three times...sold to you
I am not joking but I caught them laughing when I said
“you're killing me”
I know it doesn't matter how much I've given
As long as you can still take away from me
It doesn't matter if I can take it
as you'll always do what you want to
It doesn't matter if it hurts me
So come on now, finish me off
Come on now, just leave me with half my heart
Come on now, do this job properly
Come on now, give something back to me
Come on now, show me you really mean it, be yourself
Come on now, this time I don't want to just believe it
Come on now, put me in the hell you always show
It never mattered how much it hurts me
It never mattered how much it hurts

WHEN TIME COMES TO AN END
So sad, I drown in my own tears of sorrow
All I think is bad thoughts, I have no tomorrow
I stare into millions of faces of liars
Never wanted my life, I need to retire
You can't save me, now
I needed you then
The time for that has gone
and I'll never get it back again
So down, my head's forever falling
No sound they make of my heart crashing
I turn away from the millions of faces of liars
Just to find me staring at myself
Even if my heart could convince me my heart is beating
My life is over, over, over

INVISIBLE
Letting the demons run around
There's no putting a stop to them
What you cannot express
You'll find another way to release it
but I never do
Taking part in this challenge
Involuntarily
Will I survive again or surely die?
Just because you think you see me
Doesn't mean I am here any more
I closed my doors and I couldn't
see myself on the other sides
I'm only glass on a mirror
Waiting to break and show some blood
but there's nothing left to bleed

Making Silence Permanent

MAKING SILENCE PERMANENT
Forcing smiles, uncomfortably
It's been quite a while since sanity
Or at least that's what they used to call it
The body of within, I deteriate
Always keeps me in this state of mind
but sometimes I just get switched off
Making silence permanent
Is all I need to do now
I feel myself only in the photos I want to forget
The search for happiness is worldwide
but those who've found it, really is just a rumor
Cold mornings, shivering
It's been quite a while since warmer skin
Kept me safe enough to hibernate in
Or to slowly to die
Transparent lies keep me haunted
and will never stop clinging to my brain
As long as they're kept in secret
Maligent wounds hurting
The words never stop stinging
However much I turn, in direction
The mind of within, it concentrates
Always keeps me in this state of mind
Of what matters the most
and that is what is killing me

Because no one cares.
No one cares.
No one cares.
No one cares anymore.
No one cares at all.
