1. Sick of Life


Paralyzed
Nothingīs getting through to me
Hypnotized from all my surroundings
I wanna be something I could never be
I wanna say things that I could never say
Yeah, Iīm gonna do it again

Sick of my life
Iīm tired of everything in my life

Dragged down
Rubbing my face in the ground
No time for the undecided
I wanna know why Iīve always felt alone
And I wanna love
Why am I untouchable
Yeah, Iīm gonna do it again

Sick of my life
Iīm tired of everything in my life
I never wanted to be sick of my life
Iīm tired of everything in my life



2. Awake


Wait another minute
Canīt you see what this pain has fucking done to me
Iīm alive and still kickinī
What you see I canīt see
And maybe youīll think before you speak

Iīm alive for you
Iīm awake because of you
Iīm alive I told you
Iīm awake swallowing you

Take another second
Turn your back on me
And make believe that youīre always happy
Itīs safe to say youīre never alive
A big part of you has died
And by the way
I hope youīre satisfied

Iīm alive for you
Iīm awake because of you
Iīm alive I told you
Iīm awake swallowing you

Tearing it back unveiling me
Taking a step back so I can breathe
Hear the silence about to break
Fear resistance when Iīm awake



3. Greed


Two faced
I feel you crawling under my skin
Sickened by your face
By the way
To think that youīre so fucking kind
You ainīt

Hard to find how I feel
Especially when your smothering me
Hard to find how I feel
Please someone help me

I knew when an angel whispered into my ear
You gotta get him away
Hey little bitch
Be glad you finally walked away
You may have not lived another day

Hard to find how I feel
Especially when your smothering me
Hard to find how I feel
Please someone help me
Hard to find how I feel
Controlling me every step of the way
Hard to find how I feel
You greedy little baby



4. Bad Magick




Does it feel so bad when youīre taking a drag
And when youīre looking at the world with dying eyes
When you stare at it dead and youīre giving it head
And all those things you say you love never come alive

If it feels so bad
Bad magick playing off of me
Oh no, I donīt wanna be your friend
Bad magick laying into me
Oh no, I donīt wanna hear it again

When you get so high that youīre wanting to die
But everything around you is turning green
When youīre getting so low
And I know youīve been feeling like a dried out leaf in a summer breeze
I donīt like it

If it feels so bad
Bad magick playing off of me
Oh no, I donīt wanna be your friend
Bad magick laying into me
Oh no, I donīt wanna hear it again

Get back
Back on track
Get off of my back



5. Going Down




I see the world itīs going īround
Seems to me itīs upside down
Looking for something to say
I feel a little different anyway

Does it make much sense to you
Doing all those things you do
Making sure that Iīm all right
Yeah, Iīm fine

Iīve been feeling Iīm going down



6. Mistakes




No, I donīt feel a thing
Lifeīs going by me
And still I say
Oh God
Iīm making the same mistakes

Low - Iīm on empty
Try to erase all the bad times
Free - I donīt seem to be
My soul remains tied to your life

Every breath you breathe deep
I feel you circulating through me
Iīll never forgive myself again
Iīm so sick and tired of making the same mistakes



7. Trippinī


Living a different way
You canīt expect me to be the same
Separating our lives and wondering why
Face down I walk away
Every time I think I do the right thing
You turn your back on me

Trippinī into a world that never seems too far away
Too much time, too many wasted days

How can you be this way
Now Iīm alone and cold today
Iīm walking dead manīs drive
Reaching out for my life
Iīve been known to fuck up everything
In this skin thereīs a broken man

Trippinī into a world that never seems too far away
Too much time, too many wasted days

Just another vision
Just another vision in my world



8. Forgive Me




Thereīs nothing to me now
An empty shell unfolded
How, when we learn to pray inside our demons are laughing
How long will this go on
Are we a bit much stronger
Do you think you can save me from living this way

I donīt know how to love
I just know how to live
All I feel is hate
Will you forgive me

For all those things Iīve done
They keep on creeping by me
And though weīve changed our ways
Still all our demons are laughing
How long will this go on
Arenīt we a bit much stronger
Iīd like to think youīve came into my life to stay

I donīt know how to love
I just know how to live
All I feel is hate
Will you forgive me
I donīt know how to breathe with you too far away
Donīt know how to love
Will you forgive me
No I canīt live this way
I donīt know how to love
I just know how to live
All I feel is pain
Will you forgive me
I donīt know how to breathe with you too far away
I donīt know how to love

Past lives Iīve lived
Uncontrolled but sacred
Youīve finally seen all thatīs left of me
So hard to see
So hard to breathe
Will you forgive me

11. Spiral


Sometimes we only live for the here and now
Sometimes weīre lonely
Sometimes we feel we need a place to be grounded
Or fly away again

I will fly away again

I feel rain pouring down
I wait to rot away
Live again
Here forever
The spiral never ends

Why are we feeling somethingīs familiar around us
Are we just dreaming
Always we search for the answers but nothing is found
We fly away again
