1. Liquid


As my senses evolve I need to learn to stand my ground.
I am forced into a shaking world when all I need is safe and sound.
I am not satisfied.
Looking into a mirror but I donīt really think I need to reflect.
I am unrealistically happy although I know itīs just a state of neglect.
I am not satisfied.

As the fire burns Iīm standing still, Iīm paralyzed and cold
(Watch my dream unfold)
I am practically liquid and although Iīm breathing I am dead
(although Iīm breathing I am dead)

I am second in line when all they needed was number one.
I am sitting in the corner of that circle they placed me in.
I am not satisfied.



I donīt mean to disagree but it just seems that I am lost in situations that
wonīt ever turn out in my favour.
I might just give in.
It just seems that I will always live my life face down.

And Still I am not satisfied



2. Bloodstained


Did you not make me take the blame for you
Did you not take me for a fool and then you made me cry
What did you achieve, blood/hate I believe
Watch as I deceive you in hell

So you lived your life on a level of indiscretion which I?ve never seen
Your ignorance makes my silent anger just wake up and scream

Itīs bloodstained.

So in all this hate, the suffering, it makes me go insane
Twistin? and turning to avoid the burning that is this pain



So you would like me to go down
Face it I wonīt let you win this game
So you spit in my face
Still I get up and scream

Is that all that you got, I got more for you
Your past will catch up with you, so why not take a chance now

So you blame it all on the use and abuse of your sad power
But Iīm sad to hear your arrogant excuses as I break you in your finest hour

So I say did you not fuck it up, did you pay when your greed just wouldnīt stop
All that time did you ever think of me
But in time I will make you understand, Ironically I will make you understand
You will violently learn to know my name.



3. Ghost


I made you and your hate to socialize in a matter that suits me fine.
So while I breathe in you punched my teeth in.
I tried to explain it but you just, you just donīt see.

I, I see right through you.

So you do things, mainly bad things. Is it to satisfy your own neurotic needs.
I got this feeling Iīm just dreaming but just make sure Iīm awake when you punish me.

Come follow me to that place where we both see what happened to you. I need
to see if itīs all true. Confide in me.
I was blind but now...

I see right through all that you do, but though I see you I know youīre not
here with me and still I try to explain to you.
How your presence is affecting my state of mind.



Oh suck me in, inside myself
I want to, taste myself
It drags me down, your dismal past
And all you want, is to make that last



Donīt want this, its true what they say
Ignorance is bliss, Iīll find another way
In my mind, itīs all good now
I donīt do things, thatīs abnormal
Theyīll take me and put me away.
Listen to me when I tell you Iīm not insane

I, I see right through you



4. DBīXXīD


Heīs been told that he canīt do wrong to a lonely child that cries in his
song to understand the mans depravation but to him an invitation......so
He came in, the child turned its head and its a sin how his eyes looked all dead then.
What he saw, the fear on his face could wait no more. Heart-stabbed and disgraced

Double crossed

Thatīs a double cross, backstabbin? doublecross, heart stabbin? doublecross,
his pain and his loss

In his eyes was the recognition of a nasty face whose hurt and mission has
fucked a life of bodily prison.
Itīs consequence of a sick mans vision...he
Made a move, the gun went off and he changed the mood into blood coloured madness.
All he saw was the shadow of a grown man n? flesh was raw as he fell down again.



All he ever wanted to be was that man
Did he ever stand up and see for himself
Never wanted that intimacy, nor that fear
If he would only reach out to me Iīd show him life

And that I canīt stand you make me sick

Have you seen the tears that the boy cries
Have you seen the pain that he wears inside

So alive, the pain ensures that he really feels like a part of the damned.
Such a bitch, joy and smile are long gone, its just hate in small child rape land...heīs
All locked up in a room with his devil itīs all fucked up.
Heīs going down in pure revenge, so he saw how his best friend helped him
study and the score. justice done, a dead body

Wont you wait for him, wont you wait for him
They took all he had, whatīs left is all in his head.



5. Tattoos


What the fuck is wrong with you?
Depressed again or just gone insane again?
Donīt know what it is but I canīt stand it anymore.
Iīm strugglin? to cope. Showing off again? See my scars and tattoos?
I wear mine on the inside. A constant annoyment in a moment that already
scares me and everyone else.
Is that what you want? A concentrated glass bowl of despair, panic and sorrow.
I fuckin? wear mine on the inside. I still need to ask a question though,
because I fuckin? need to know.
Whatīs your definition of arrogance? Is that whatīs shining through?

Try to break me down. Iīm immune to your disease.
Look into my eyes and the take one step back, please.
Execute deception. All pathetic and depraved.
Thereīll be no exception as to where my words are engraved.

No relief, an everlasting mind in peace.
Reality doesnīt hurt me, but it will hurt you again.

Pain inflicted, sentence convicted. I donīt need to see this through.
Easy solution made from hard confusion. I think you know the end.

No relief, an everlasting mind in peace.
Reality doesnīt hurt me, but it will hurt you again.

Conquer the same old past. I donīt regret that anger it seem to last in me.
You say Iīm sick. Iīm just confused to why my mind seems so abused. Iīm not.

I need to take on myself. Only to teach myself.
Is thatīs whatīs hurting you now. I will be hurting you now.

No matches as my eye it catches your unable to see.
No regrets. Iīm taking all bets all arranged by me.

In time you will see truth.



6. The Naked And The Dead


You know I can be like that man you canīt see. Guess whatīs hiding in me.
Itīs that thing I stole from in sickness. I know youīll clean this blood off
my business and embrace me.

Now you canīt stand it (donīt ask me to)
Help just cuz youīre stranded (I donīt want to)
You know where youīll end up (not in my head)
Screamin? and alone (between the naked and the dead)

Souls are lost in my kingdom
Iīve waited to see what you could bring

Youīll fall



Youīll fall into my possession, then youīll see
Iīm Judas in black and I love it
Youīll fall into my hands, whereīs your ripcord? Hate me?

Feel deceived and hated, thought you would make it, hold that glass and
break it, pull that smile and fake it.
Sit up and spit up
Really wish you would wake up

Souls are lost in my kingdom
Iīve waited to see what you could bring.
Iīm heedless as I take you in.
And feed you my mind and sin

(Repeat Chor.)

The purest of all black and damned souls.
Now Iīve claimed what was yours and I will use it as I damn well please.
Youīll see me coming but you wonīt feel as I enter your body and rip out the
real you.

Inside you is me
As you act I breathe
Guess whatīs up my sleeve
Insight



7. Closed Eyes


Itīs hard to forgive a man who bought revenge with his soul.
A vein injected with a manīs life and his goals.
Itīs in my face, it hurts and I fall into a hollow sphere.
Well, I donīt want that to happen to me.

I donīt want to see what my face might be.
Damn your shameful lies as my conscience it dies.

Stop and listen as silence roars out in the night.
One canīt fake that anger and oh itīs shining so bright.
Is this my fault, I will light it up to see. I will light it up.
I donīt really see, I donīt want to be. Is this my fault.
I donīt see, inside of me a moment turns to infinity.

I donīt want to see what my face might be.
Damn your shameful lies as my conscience it dies.

I just might hurt you my friend.

All that was left for me was destructive in misery.
I blame you for all that I did; itīs eating me bit by bit.
How can all this be true, I blame it all on you.
Electrocuted with a sense of loss. Anxiety will see me through.

Flipping through the pages of a mind that hurts me.
Sometimes I wish that I could eject from this seat of pain Iīm fuckin?
placed in and let it go.

You tell me what you think of me and my sense of energetic rage compiled
into a ball of anxiety.
Do I need your help? Do I need you?



8. Mechanical Spin Phenomenon





Blood on the walls, it embraces the fear that goes on in his mind as he cries out
Into the dark room he donīt control and donīt see and donīt choose to see his work

He wonīt hesitate for a minute to reach for everything he ever wanted.
He could be that star, he could be the one. No complications when the game is won, he sees
City lights in an instant, heīs going to light the night into a fire.
As he turns them down with a pitiful look, blessed nitroholic in a pickup truck, he burns.
He burns.

Stand or fall. Anger says it all.
Dance to his groove. Moral on the move.

Animal-like and he knows it, still he covers it up when he shows it.
Heīs got time to spare as heīs turning it up. No hesitation as heīs ready to drop, he screams.
Undefined and somewhat normal, still heīs not aware he is mortal.
Heīs got eyes that glow with a beautiful light, a mechanical spin roaring in the night, he burns.
He burns.



Fuel driven to expand, memories burning in a mind-like tin can, itīs hard to see,
Mechanical addict, a drug of choice, somatic/dynamic, it turns into an institution.
Itīs hard to forgive blind perspective. Evolve to conceive machine of beauty.
Veins bleedin blood red, electrified. Human yet still bred. Full automatic.
Concept of mind.

Anger grows in time. Dance to his groove. Moral on the move

Out of his mind for a minute, it seems like nobody is willing to let him
spin it. With a pounding heart in a body of steel. The mechanical spin with
a mind at the wheel.
He sees the...

Light I can See, Turn it out in me....
Wasted time to be, what you wanted from me.
