1. One Second
AND FOR ONE SECOND, I LOST MY HEAD
AND FOR ONE SECOND, I WISHED THAT YOU WERE DEAD
AND FOR ONE SECOND, YOU WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE ALL ALONE
HOLD BACK THE TEARS THAT COULD FALL FOR ME
AND FOR ONE SECOND, I LOST MY BREATH
AND FOR ONE SECOND, I CHERISH WHAT YOU SAID
AND FOR ONE SECOND, IT SEEMED THAT I WAS HERE ALL ALONE
HOLD BACK THE TEARS THAT COULD FALL FOR ME
AND FOR ONE SECOND, I UNDERSTAND
AND FOR ONE SECOND, MY LIFE WAS IN YOUR HANDS
AND FOR ONE SECOND, YOU WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE ALL ALONE
HOLD BACK THE TEARS THAT COULD FALL FOR ME, THEY FALL ALONE
2. Say Just Words
YOU GET HIGH, WITH YOUR DESTRUCTIVE INSTINCT
YOU GET HIGH, WITH YOUR CORROSIVE INSTINCT
WHERE CAN I GO, TO ESCAPE YOUR FOUL MIND TRICKS
YOU'RE TRYING IT MORE, BUT YOU WILL NEVER BREAK ME
CAUSE YOU PRESUME THE WINNER IS YOU, BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE, SO SAY JUST WORDS TO ME
UNREAL WHAT YOUR HATES PROVIDING, SAY JUST WORDS TO ME
YOUR TALK IS ALWAYS CONTRADICTION, SAY JUST WORDS TO ME
WON'T FEEL WARMTH OF FRIENDS AROUND YOU, SAY JUST WORDS TO ME
IS IT TRUE THAT THERE IS WORTH INSIDE, SO SAY JUST WORDS TO ME
YOUR DESIGNS, ALL THE WORSE FROM POWER CRAVING
YOUR DESIRES, ONLY WHERE THERE'S FIRE BURNING
I'LL SHOW YOU THE WAY, A PLEASURE THAT'S FOR THE TAKING
YOU'RE TRYING IT MORE, YOU WON'T GET SATISFACTION
CAUSE YOU PRESUME THE WINNER IS YOU, BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE, SO JUST SAY WORDS TO ME
3. Lydia
THROUGH THE SEARCHING LIGHTS THAT WEAVE AND DART
COMES THE STRANGER THAT CARES NOT FOR YOUR HEART
THE PAIN OF LIVING LIFE THIS WAY
MUST TAKE ITS TOLL ON YOU SOME DAY
YOUR JADED EYES CAN SEE
EMBARRASSMENT OR HARM
THE FRAIL SKIN THAT BLEEDS
EMOTIONALLY ON GUARD
ALL LOWEST FORMS OF LIFE ARE POUNDING YOU INSIDE
YOU'RE HOLLOW COLD DISPLAY YOUR TIRED MASQUERADE
LET THE IMAGE THAT YOU PRESENT ENTICE
UNLIKE THE MIRROR THAT SHOWS THE STRAINS OF VICE
THIS ACT OF CONTACT YOUR DECAY
WHILE WILLING SOULS WILL MORE THAN PAY
4. Mercy
YOU LIVE FOR TIMES OF SOLACE
WITHIN A SIGN THERE'S A PROMISE
DON'T LOSE ALL FAITH CAUSE YOU SHAKE AT NIGHT
IT'S IN THE ART OF THE PROCESS
IN ANOTHER RHYME, BEYOND THIS PLACE
THE HEALING'S FAST ENOUGH...
DONE A THOUSAND TIMES, A THOUSANDS WAYS
UNTIL YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH
IT'S MERCY YOU'RE ASKING FOR, CHEATING LIFE BY TAKING MORE
IT'S MERCY YOU'RE ASKING FOR, TAKE MY LIFE OR GIVE ME MORE...
THE LOSS OF PRIZE POSSESSIONS
TO CURE THE MIND'S OBSESSION
COULD TRADE YOUR SOUL FOR THAT NORMAL LIFE
ELITE TO ALL OBJECTIONS...
SEE BEYOND ALL TEARS, AND BROKEN YEARS
YOUR SENSES GIVING UP
LOSE ALL CONFIDENCE AT YOUR EXPENSE
YOUR COURAGE SWALLOWED UP
5. Soul Courageous
I COULD NOT CARE LESS FOR OH, SO MANY THINGS
TALES OF YOUR DISTRESS AND WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS
ALLURING YOU ON SIGHT
I'D HARBOUR MY DELIGHT
YOU COULD NOT CARE FOR WHAT TUNE SORROW SINGS
IN THIS BATTLE OF AGES
A BREATH OF FIRE WOULD LIGHT YOUR PILOT
ARE YOU SOUL COURAGEOUS
A BREATH OF LIFE WOULD MAKE YOU MAYBE SEE
YOU BRING ME TO THE GROUND
YOU BRING ME TO THE GROUND
VICTORY'S IN VAIN UNLESS ONE KNOWS THE SCORE
INNER PEACE RECLINES, IN PLACE THE BITTER SCORN
SPIRIT MAKETH MAN
ALWAYS AT HAND
THE SPIRIT FAILS TO SAVE THE ONES WORTH WAITING FOR
6. Another Day
ANOTHER DAY AND THE GUILT IS GONE
ANOTHER DAY WILL STRESS THE WEAK AND THE STRONG
JUST A MEMORY THAT WE'VE BECOME
I HAVE TAKEN WITHOUT WARNING
WHEN THE DAY HAS JUST BEGUN...
A SUMMERS DAY
AND MY BLOOD RUNS COLD
I CAN HEAR YOU IN THE MORNING
AS I'M REACHING OUT TO HAUNT YOU
A SUMMERS DAY
AND MY BLOOD RUNS COLD
YOU WILL NEVER HEAR ME CALLING
AS I'M REACHING TO DESTROY YOU
ANOTHER DAY WON'T EASE THE SORROW
ANOTHER DAY WILL HELP FRUSTRATION TO GROW
ALL THE PICTURES AND THE FACE OF HOPE
I HAVE TAKEN WITHOUT WARNING
WHEN THE DAY HAS JUST BEGUN...
7. The Sufferer
I FIND WHEN I'M ALL ALONE, THAT I FEEL SO ASHAMED, CAUSE ALL MY PRIDE IS GONE
SAY WHAT YOU NEVER CAN RESIST
SAY WHAT YOU NEVER WOULD BELIEVE
GIVE WHAT YOU NEVER WANT TO SHOW
GIVE WHAT YOU NEVER WOULD RECEIVE
A TIME WHEN I'M ALL ALONE & I'M BREATHING AFRAID, CAUSE ALL MY PRIDE IS GONE
ELATE THE TEARS I CREATE, HOW COMPLETELY INANE, CAUSE ALL MY PRIDE IS GONE
COLLAPSE AT MY SORRY STANCE, BUT I NEED TO SURPASS CAUSE...
MY ONLY THRILL ALONE IN MY OWN HELL
8. This Cold Life
I CAN TAKE ONE DAY TO ACHIEVE MY GOAL, THEN IT STARTS AGAIN
IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE THAT I CALL MY OWN DREAMS JUST DON'T DELIVER
I NEVER NEEDED FOES
FOREVER FEELING LOW
CAUSE THEY BREAK ME DOWN
CANNOT FAKE THIS FROWN
I NEVER TOOK OFFENCE
I NEVER SWORE IN ADVANCE
BUT I'LL BREAK YOU DOWN
WITH MY POISON MOUTH AGAIN
I CANNOT DENY BITTERSWEET RECLINE TO A SOLE RELIGION
IT'S A CERTAIN WAY THAT I'M FEELING HOST TO A NEW DECEPTION...
9. Blood of Another
YOU'LL SEE THE BLOOD...BLOOD OF ANOTHER
YOU'LL SEE THE BLOOD AS WE ROLL IN IT TOGETHER
YOU'LL SEE THE BLOOD...BLOOD OF ANOTHER
YOU'LL SEE THE BLOOD AS WE ROLL IN IT TOGETHER TONIGHT
WHAT UNRULY LIFE IS LIKE
WHAT IS FABLED WISDOM LIKE?
THIS INDULGENT GRACE IS SPINNING ROUND AND LEAVING ALL BEHIND
KNOWLEDGE LIMITS YOU BESIDES CLAMING YOU'RE SO SURE BY VIBES
IN THIS FROZEN CLIMATE THE TEMPERATURE SHOULD BRING YOU DOWN TO RIGHTS
BEAUTY, PURITY INSIDE TWISTED MADNESS FILTH AND VICE
DEATH IS NOT SELECTIVE THE DARKER SHROUD WILL FALL ON ALL DESPITE
RECKLESSNESS, THE FAULT IN MIND ANGER, LAUGHTER CAN'T PROVIDE
TRY TO TURN A BLIND EYE THE WASTING PAIN ONE TRIP YOU CANNOT BUY...
10. Disappear
IN LIVING WITH A FEAR OF CHANCE
THE CHANCE OF FEARS THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE AWAKE
WE DECREASE IN SIZE WHEN BURDENED WITH YOUR MIND
BUT YOU KNOW ESCAPE IS TO RUN
IN A CONSTANT COMMOTION
WHEN I SPEAK IT'S REVULSION MAYBE YOU'LL DISAPPEAR
RECALL THE PAST WHEN YOU WERE STRONG
THOSE DISTANT DAYS IT SEEMS ARE NOW FOREVER GONE
YOU'LL INCREASE DESIRE TO WANDER AND RETIRE
BUT YOU'LL KNOW ESCAPE IS TO RUN
11. Sane
SEASONS OF SUN WON'T SUFFICE
BUT FOR YOU MY GUARDING LIGHT
I'D WALK AROUND THIS EARTH
THOUGH THE STREETS ARE PAVED WITH GOLD
I'D COLLECT IT TO BE SOLD
I'M BRINGING THIS ON MYSELF
BUT I FEEL FOR YOU, WILL YOU SHOW YOU'RE SANE
IN YOUR MOUTH A LOADED GUN
PULL THE TRIGGER HAVE YOU WON
LET'S SEE HOW YOU CAN DO
IT'S THE DARKER DAYS YOU DREAD
ALL THE HURTFUL THINGS I SAID
IT SEEMS I'M NOTHING
BUT I FEEL FOR YOU, WILL YOU SHOW YOU'RE SANE
12. Take Me Down
YOU AREN'T WHAT I LOVE, YOU AREN'T WHAT I NEED
YOU AREN'T WHAT I LOVE, YOU AREN'T WHAT I NEED
WHAT I NEED
DON'T LET THEM TAKE ME DOWN THERE
YOU AREN'T WHAT I LOVE, YOU AREN'T WHAT I SEE
YOU HATE FROM ABOVE, YOU BECOME WHAT I NEED
WHAT I NEED
DON'T LET THEM TAKE ME DOWN
13. I Despair
IN YOUR HANDS I'M TRYING
IN YOUR HANDS I'M TRYING FLIGHT
I CAN'T DIE
IN YOUR HANDS I'M TRYING
IN YOUR HANDS I'M TRYING FLIGHT
I CAN'T DIE
I'M FLYING IN THE COLD BREEZE EVERY NIGHT
SPARE ME ALL THE STRIFE
MY DESIRES NEVER TIRE
BUT WOULD IT FEEL MUCH BETTER IF I DIED?
PETTY HIGHS - GET ME BY BUT HOW LONG MUST I LIVE WITH THIS DISGUISE...
HAVE YOU NO DIRECTION?
I JUST SENSE PRETENTIOUS SIGNS
IN YOUR HIGHS
I HEAR THE SAME OLD STORIES EVERY NIGHT
SPARE ME ALL THE STRIFE
MY DESIRES NEVER TIRE
BUT WOULD IT FEEL MUCH BETTER IF I DIED?
PETTY HIGHS - GET ME BY BUT HOW LONG MUST I LIVE WITH THIS DISGUISE...
