AQUARIUM
I'm like a fish, out of the ocean
Holding onto my last breath
They don't care to watch me struggle
but they won't dare to throw me back in
Was there a light?
Now there's just darkness
Pushed to the edge and then thrown over
I won't hold on, I won't hold on, I won't hold on
I can't hold on
Not even time is on my side
You always lose what you think is yours
No grip on my thins, I feel them ripping
Into the rain, I fall, as it pours
Inside my tears, I am drowning
I've been losing my way back home
I won't go back, I won't go back, I won't go back
I can't go back
REPEAT VERSE 1
REPEAT CHORUS 1
All life is just a story.
Memory's that you leave behind
Everybody, everybody is watching someone else's aquarium

DARK SHORES
I'm here by the dark shore
I can't hear what's behind me any more
The mountains won't echo my screams to anyone
I'm standing in the water
The tides coming in
I feel myself drowning
I don't know how to swim
and I'm not about to begin
Building castles with my broken hands
Now just sand on the ground
Fallen through my fingers
Washed away like I was never here
There's only trees shivering
The only arms reaching out for me
I've been balancing on broken branches
and I feel myself falling
Waves are washing over me
As I head further out to sea
All there is in the distance behind
A black dot growing smaller

Everyone's A Salesman

EVERYONE'S A SALESMAN
There are myths they'll sell for free
The price you pay is on your knees
Nothing but the best of intent
to give you the best pitch they've got
Whether it's your family, friend or God
How much have you got?
Did you expect something true?
You were asking for too much.
Don't you know what you see is not real (It's just illusion)
All that's true is what you believe (if you believe at all)
They'll tell you what you want to hear (Or so they think)
Doesn't make it sincere (Everyone's a salesman)
A good story can get you far
Remove the eyes, replace them with stars
How much can you afford to believe?
Based upon just there say so?
Everyone can be sold for the right price
How much will you spend of your soul today?

Hell Never Ends

HELL NEVER ENDS
There's no way out of the dark
If you see a light up ahead
Don't go down that way
It just leads to here again
You can cry, you can try
but hell never ends
You can scream and you can beg
but hell never ends
There's no hope, Only what...
They pretend to get what they want
They'll sell your soul for any price
How much? (How much have you got?)
You can cry, you can try
but hell never ends
You can scream and you can beg
but hell never ends
Nobody's going to save you
(Because hell never ends)
They all dig a grave for you
(and then nail you down again)
Nobody's going to help you
(Because hell never ends)
They all want to ruin you
(Because hell has no friend)
The hounds are chasing you
Whatever way, you will go down
There's no time when time is all there is
You can hiss but you can't spit yourself out
Nobody's going to save you
(Because hell never ends)
They all dig a grave for you
(and then nail you down again)
Nobody's going to help you
(Because hell never ends)
They all want to ruin you
(Because hell has no friend)

INDIFFERENCE
Sometimes all you know is what you are taught
Unless you grow out of it or into something else
I couldn't tell the difference
between space and time
In the end not even my lows
could get me high
I couldn't feel the difference
between life and death
The worse I knew
was better than what comes next
Sometimes you can't escape, no matter how you try
Unless you can pretend your part of your own fake smile
I couldn't tell the difference
between parts and a whole
I was old as a child
Now I'm younger as I grow
I couldn't feel the difference
between love and hate
I saw things I never should have
Always slept with one eye awake
At first you hurt. Then you bleed.
Nothing can grow before the seed
You can't erase the past before you die
All you can leave is what gets left behind

MOMENTS
We publish our truth...
Though the story sells to different eyes
Is there more information now?
Or are we being more denied?
Are you good or are you bad?
That depends on who you ask?
Is what we do our destiny?
Or really our own choice?
From the moment that we're born
We're made to cry
The first moment that we spoke
We're taught to lie
There were things that I needed
Time has passed them by
I don't want any of it now
Except to say goodbye
Are your thoughts really your own?
Or just a copy?
In a sincere world of sin
Everyone would plead guilty
Do you do what matters to you?
Or what everyone says so?
How do you believe in something if you
can't see what you think you know?
From the moment we start to dream
Do we ever wake up in time?
The first moment you gave me pain
I wanted to share mine
What I didn't throw got took away
and the holes still look black
Memories come when I don't have you
to stab in the back
REPEAT CHORUS 1, 2

Black Mirror

BLACK MIRROR
When it all breaks around you
Sometimes all you see are shards of glass
That look like little mirrors
To only show you with cracks inside
and if you could see what I feel
You would hold your breath until it passed
but what if it never does?
It never did
It never does
but what if it never does?
It never did
It never does
When it all falls down around you
You can't see how far if you don't look up
and everything just crumbles
to show nothing can be whole again
Except the holes getting wider
to keep things balanced on both sides
but what if you can't stop them?
I never could
I never will
but what if you can't stop them?
I never could
I never will

I See Demons

I SEE DEMONS
The cold has broke through my skin
What once bled out now just digs in
I see demons come through the clouds
They lift my head up when I look down
Goose pimples sit upon my skin
Counting all of the tremors within
I see demons snarl up at me
They pull my head down on my knees
My face is turning grey
No sunlight enters my day
The holes hurt my veins
It used to kill the pain
Instead of me

Revoke

REVOKE
I hold the hand of nothing
Even that falls through my fingers
Let's not pretend there was ever really going
to be any more
Let's take back every word
that you ever said to me
and while we're at it
Let's include feelings too
I don't need to believe
In these false pretences
Let's take back every word
When all they do is kill
I hold the wrist that's breaking
Trying to hold on but what for
Let's not pretend that anyone really gives
a damn about me any more
(As if they ever did before)

Soil In My Mouth
04:06

SOIL IN MY MOUTH
I believed in lies
Not knowing how much they would make
Me a part of them
What difference can I make?
I'm already living inside my grave
I can't reach out with tied hands
You can't hear me with soil in my mouth
I stayed numb to get through
While the world went on
My life had passed me by
What change can I make?
I'll never get back the good things I gave
I can't wash my hands with dirty nails
You can't hear me with soil in my mouth

THE ALIEN (IS ME)
(Is there really no escape from who we are?)
The alien is me
The lights look on dimly
There's no ufo here
We're just reflections that disappear
There are many black holes
I don't wish you to know
Eventually, it's where we all go
Some sooner than later
I don't think like any of you
Nor do I want to
I've still got a lot to learn
You only teach me in reverse
Everywhere I go
Anyone I see
The alien is me
You'll find me in corners of the room
Staring off into the distance
Is there another universe?
Can you imagine?
Is there really no escape from who we are?
I don't know what to do
Nothing in this world is true
Can't you see it's all fake?
How can you just play along?
I don't think like any of you
Nor do I want to
You've still got a lot to learn
About isolation
REPEAT CHORUS 1
Everyone I am
All I've been
The ones I love act like enemies
I'm not as strange as I seem
It just depends on your understanding
(I'm not as strange as I seem
The alien is me x2)

Aliens Are Already Here
05:51

THE ALIENS ARE ALREADY HERE
Do you come in peace or is it time for war?
Will you reveal yourselves or sneak in through the back door?
Are you really our ancestors? Or us from another earth?
Can you see through the frequencies only some of the time?
The aliens are already here (repeat)
Some of them are good guys
Some of them are villains
Just like humans (repeat)
Are you speaking with telepathy? Or are you hearing voices?
Whose more intelligent, the norm or those deemed insane?
Reptiles, greys or little green men
Or just disguised as human
Whose less feeling? Us or those in our experiment?
The aliens are already here (repeat)
We'll cover it up and make things up
to suit the story they want to sell
The aliens are already here
No angels from heaven. No demons from hell.
The aliens are already here (repeat)

THE CLOCK IS TURNING BACKWARDS
Time has no meaning
Only what life makes it to be
I've learnt that in time
It takes everything away from me
When there's no forward button to press
and the present is just a mess
History equals the future
because tomorrow never comes
Time just wants to say you are
too late as it catches up to you
No one can really change anything
We never really know what to do
Are you watching the hands go by?
Or didn't you notice the time?
Is yours just the same as mine?
We all begin and then we end
The clock is turning backwards
It it ever moves at all
The clock is turning backwards
With your face up against it's wall
The clock is turning backwards
Time doesn't heal anything at all
Hours gave nothing to the seconds
it took to fall
Is your life in your own hands?
Or are you leaving it to fate?
Who is pulling my strings
and who is pulling theirs?
Ask questions no one else will dare
Feel things when nobody else cares
There's no pause on the hand on the clock
We all just start and then we stop

THE THINGS THAT THEY TEACH US
It is better to prevent than to cure
but if you don't try you'll never know
Blood is thicker than water
but you can't get blood from a stone
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
but you can choose your own destiny
Out of sight, out of mind
Sometimes you must be cruel to be kind
Practice what you preach
You have to take the bitter with the sweet
The end doesn't justify the means
Nothing is as it seems
If you don't ask, you don't get
You should learn to wait your turn
Learn to forgive, but not forget
Tomorrow it's too late to regret
Do what I say, not what I do
You only learn what's been taught to you
You can run but you can't hide
Things are black and white
but grey sometimes
Know your right from your wrong
Everybody has an opinion
Ignorance is bliss. The truth will set you free
Life's what you make it but it's a mystery
In this world, all you can trust
These are the things they teach us
In this world, all you can trust
These are the things they teach us

Where Do I Go From Here?
05:47
|
|||
|
WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE?
I'm just following my shadow
Down a side walk that leads to hell
There was a time once upon a dream
It all fell to pieces in front of me
I'm searching for you to feed me pills
Waiting for my demons to feel like angels
There was a time I could dream
Without a high dose of morphine
Where do I go from here?
Now that you've disappeared
There's nothing for me to go on for
Now everything here has gone
Where do I go from here?
It felt like I disappeared
I don't know how to go on
Unless I'll be seeing you soon
I'm falling into sleep with one eye open
Dry lips keep the words we speak stuck, unspoken
There is no more time, it would seem
All there is is nightmares, imagining a dream
Where do I go from here? (repeat)
