Trapped inside a swollen haze Looking out, a dead end gaze Meet the future, cold and bleak Your own actions determine directions
Sealed with exposed words in a truthful design Enter the image of an open mind In a time for destinations An emotional ride Reborn construction built by honor and pride
Time to pass the tension on Take back my life before I′m gone Cease the future, warm and bright My own actions determine directions
Sealed with exposed words in a truthful design Enter the image of an open mind In a time for destinations An emotional ride Reborn construction built by honor and pride
say easily with me well i show affection but it′s creeping up creeping up on me in another direction i love a ride and i know someday i′ll die so i try to ask no questions no questions why but the weary one, lord it′s me do you think it′s obsession the smoke will find you a choker that matches your coat not fit to be tied the mirror it makes it all clearer as you stand alone and can see your behind in the mirror you can see your behind

Save all your prayers I think we lost today There′s no morning after And no one′s around to blame
I′m not afraid to bleed But I won′t do it for you We′ll start among hypocrites The melody of our time
[Chorus:] So say goodbye to the world We are the dead Can′t walk the earth Scream your lungs out Wait for laughter You don′t have to wait forever It′s the next disaster!
What decides when You′ve lost the war When the first man falls? Or when they erase it all?
We′re too numb to feel The downfall starts right here Hold your breath and swim Swallowed by life′s tears
In times of make believe No one really seems to care Maybe I should care less ′Cause I will die too
[Chorus]
What will it take for us to realize The more we provoke Winter will come twice
Save all your prayers I think we lost today There′s no morning after And no one′s around to blame
Scream you lungs out Wait for laughter You don′t have to wait forever Here′s the next disaster! (2x)
No flickering light at the end of the path Confront repressions of the past Fear... Prevail... Insanity... Obey! Draw back in silence to dwell in anxiety No matter where I am, I′m alone My dreams are shattered Into thousand running tears The tears keep dripping down, down Deep, down from my veins
I′m walking towards dead end I′m walking all alone Two steps behind insanity There′s no starlight guiding my way through this downward death row Soon will be the time I have to go...
Little by little the end is drawing near Another night and so little blood to spare (Ya can hurt me... but ya can′t possess me ′Y know...)
Kill me, hurt me, fuck me, rape me, you won′t have me!
Draw back in silence to dwell in anxiety No matter where I am, I′m alone. I′m crying out loud The tears of blood I bleed, so fuck the world I′ll go now, I don′t care. (Who cares?)
I′m walking towards dead end, and I′m walking all alone Two steps ago I past insanity There′s no starlight guiding my way out this downward death row So now is the time I have to go
