Allıs quiet except for the screaming Yes the place I come and I find No names but I remember the faces Iım the one you blame No time to think about what it means Iım the one you blame All rise up time to bring the flesh alive While the taste remains on my mind No names but I remember the faces Iım the one you blame No time to think about what it means Iım the one you blame The decision has been made as I lie on the table No need to be reminded of the reflections I make I know what I canıt see still exists And I know what I can see never was Doesnıt make it any easier I just get used to it All screaming no used in being silent Yes the place I come and I find No names but I remember the faces Iım the one you blame No time to think about what it means Iım the one you blame @SONG: THROWN DOWN Squeeze hold it in donıt let it out Donıt let go When you lose control you Expose yourself Making it easy to figure you out Picked up turned out stepped on Spit out Picked up turned out youıve been Thrown down Breathe hold it in now let it out let it go Harder to ignore than to get involved Some people think and some have no brain Picked up turned out stepped on Spit out Picked up turned out youıve been Thrown down Slide slide it in now let it out take it slow When you lose control you expose yourself Fucked from behind looked you straight in the eye Picked up turned out stepped on Spit out Picked up turned out youıve been Thrown down @SONG: INSIDE A SCREAM Sky is coming down all around me Lost somewhere in the middle below Beneath the surface the eyes surround me Sit with the man that no one knows The time will come to me again and then Iıll know Iım deep inside a scream that never grows Stare into the eyes of frustration Nothing is as real as it should be Still with each day that passes me by Lost in the time that confuses me The time will come to me again and then Iıll know Iım deep inside a scream that never grows Come on let me shine with some permission See the pieces fall in front of me Harder to deny is my suspicion Just to dress it up out in the rain @SONG: NEEDLES Confusion sits at the edge of the tongue Darkness hovers around the corners of the mind While you choke on every word I shove down your throat Iıll walk through your eyes and pull up a chair in the back of your skull So I say to close your eyes turn your back and walk away Find a way to fake a smile turn it on and break the day Smiling you live and you call life pleasure Keeping that sparkle in the eye and ice in the veins That just makes it all the easier for me to slip it on then Iıll ask why You speak words without meaning no substance empty distorted Iım the needle in your arm wash away the mindless game Iım the pleasure in your pain now youıve thrown it all away Sinking with the flow of life hold it in your hand See you choke on every word I put in your head @SONG: ME MYSELF I Save me from myself Iım going down Iım going down A voice inside my head Iıve never known before Iıve Never known Who hides the man Who filled these shoes Who walked this ground I know I sit alone Surrounded by these walls Theyıre closing in The same old time today Iıll find my way outside Sometime today Who hides the man Who filled these shoes Who walked this ground When you look at me do you see me When you see me can you look at me Iım going down Take it somewhere else leaving me alone Youıll see things in a different way Take it somewhere else leaving me alone Tomorrow is another day @SONG: KNOW MORE The deeper that I get The more the fear grows I feel the pleasure from within Heal the scars that remain See Iım standing to close To what I am Iıll neve realize what I could be I never will I know more I know I know more I know Close enough to the edge My feet they drag It helps to keeps me down inside Where I belong Now Iım trapped in the shell Of another man One more time is all that bleeds me Iım not to be I know more I know I know more I know I know what itıs like to want and never have I know what itıs like to live and never be I know what itıs like to touch and never feel I know what itıs like to see and never know The deeper that I get The more the fear grows In the dark my hands take flight Now I can feel the wind rise Now Iım free of the shell Of another man Now I realize what I could be And someday I will I know more I know I know more I know I know what itıs like to want and never have I know what itıs like to live and never be I know what itıs like to touch and never feel I know what itıs like to see and never know
