Verse 1:
I can see what you're doing
been around for a while
who do you think you're foolin'?
when you turn my dials
sucked into the vortex
where nothing is true
when this wheel stops turning
the gun is pointed at you
Chorus:
Buried in deep
now it roams free
what's left to see
of my sanity? spiraling out of control
Verse 2:
I know what you're thinking
you're done with me
not so fast sweet child
there's something I'm gonna need
nothing comes that easy
first the bait now the hook
your blood is the payofff
so give back what you took
Outro:
Cannot break the hex
of my own vortex

BLACK RAINS ARE FALLING
04:12

Verse 1:
Lying wide awake late at night
I see a sudden flash of light
Are these explosions in my head?
or have they come back from the dead?
Chorus:
Black rains are falling
under nuclear skies lies skies lies
Verse 2:
Pins and needles under my skin
The suit I'm in is wearing thin
The glow of death is seeping in
frozen in time like plastic men
Verse 3:
The taste of metal in my mouth
facing the radiation cloud
no protocol to follow now
much rather die than break the vow

Verse 1:
I draw blood and you're the first to know
just don't ask who has come before
Tangled in the web of lies
flesh and blood is always first ignored
your words dead vehicles
defend the indefensible
half truths to really reel them in
your path is irreversible
Chorus:
Burning alive but I cannot feel it
remove the eyes but you do not see it
blowing some smoke but we will not breathe it
selling false hope to those who don't need it (to live)
Verse 2:
I sit back and watch you dig a hole
don't trust a single word you say
I would laugh but it's debatable
whether you're serious anyway
how long will you wear the mask?
you bought in but sold out everyone
nothing more for us to talk about
the damage has already be done
Thank god you've got the answers for us all
Thank god you've got the answers for us all

Verse 1:
The wounds are healing
but the blood is hardly dry
my head's so messed up
thanks to all the goddamn lies
no longer care that we're losing precious time
we die each day and I call it eternal life
Chorus:
Waiting for tomorrow that never comes
Scheming every day to end it all
Burning every bridge put in front of me
waiting for so long that I've gone numb
Verse 2:
You know it's true that I am never coming back
an endless nightmare taking everything I have
It makes no difference who the fuck is wrong or right
We die each day and I call it eternal life
Waiting so long that I've gone numb
Waiting so long that I've gone numb

Verse 1:
Every day is the perfect day to die
beaten down but given no reasons why
theres a place inside of me that bleeds
never stops spawning evil seeds
so I fight to keep it all tied down
but the loudest scream never makes a sound
pretending to be just like you
doing what it is I think you want me to
Chorus:
Feed the open scar you bleed to see the other side
won't get very far until you hear the demons cry
Verse 2:
In a matter of time the truth will be revealed
and you'll see our fate was long ago sealed
always had a place in hell to call my own
and I've been left standing at the gates alone
now I'm blind even though I clearly see
all the cuts you delivered ran too deep
rest assured that you are the reason why
every day is the perfect day to die
Outro:
I wanted to give it all to you
but you cut me loose too soon
what's the price I pay to live
when theres nothing left to give

HOLD ON TO NOTHING
04:21
|
|
||
|
Verse 1:
I open up the veins to bleed again
but there is nothing there
Been played the fool now for so long
the truth itself became the dare
Buried alive by time and space
my life is that on which they feed
Then just as I try to surrender I'm
told that there is no need
Chorus:
Hold onto nothing once again
Life is the game no one will win
Verse 2:
Thoughts of demise deep in my mind
and I cannot just turn the tide
They spew the lies that we deny
but when they pry we open wide
there is no point there is no hope
there is no future for the damned
I am the keeper of the darkness
that resides in every man

FULL BLOOM

Verse 1:
I will break you if I try
even long after I die
doors of sorrow opened wide
through the window in my mind
(I'll take you right down with me)
Chorus:
Full Bloom
Entombed
Silence
Grips you
Born fools
Into
Solitude
Verse 2:
Don't try reasoning with me
I'm a lock without a key
just a message burned in time
put away but did no crime
(each day I live this nightmare)

THE LONGER THE LIFE
03:38
|
|
||

Verse 1:
I was helpless as I sat inside your womb
Or was I just sitting inside of my tomb?
Hard to say decay had taken hold so strong
Or have I just been paranoid this goddamn long?
Chorus:
Hold it inside don't let them see that
the longer the life the more that they will bleed
Verse 2:
Deep inside you know we're at the very end
Past the point of no return once again
You have let too many years slip right by
Do not think you can escape the reapers eyes
Chorus 2:
Silent voices once told me that
the longer the life the more that they will bleed
Break:
These walls are thin and I can hear the cries
from the other side
Don't know if I should turn and walk away
or step into the hive
The louder the screams become the less I hear
clinging to this blade
I try to run but the deed is done
once again too late
