I should be happy but I'm not
I've got everything that I've always thought
But deep inside I feel that something's gone
Explain away the shiver in my bones
For you,
I've done all the achievements of a real grown up
But you forget, life is greater than you know
and I feel completely null
I should be thankful but I'm not
I've got my wife, my house, my kids, a dog
But somehow I think of doing more
Explain away the emptiness in control

Poor Old Me
01:55
|
|||
Late last night I had a dream
I was looking at a future me
Poor old me, going down the street
Chasing blueprints of better dreams
Couldn't wake up, was choking
on an ocean of anguish…
Poor old me, drowning in a sea
of expectations and agony
Don't wake me, I'll save the past
from the trap I’ve set myself

Pretty Useless
02:01
|

Every inch of your body is full of something I can’t ignore
The amount of void leads you complete
Is the same strength that drives you weak…
Your circle pit of endless fun
Sponsored by your dad and mom
Bleeding every cent they got, at least you are on the spot
If I could instil sense into your eyes
To see how pathetic you are…
Your plastic dreams won’t last long
Reality can’t make it work
Pretty useless, you are all
An army of fools ready to fall
Pretty useless, you are all
An army of fools ready to fall

Leper Love
01:52
|
|||
Can't you built a better lie?
This one has gone too far.
Your heart beats only in the pockets
of desperate folks who are just like you!
Welcome to the leper love
the legacy of hypocrisy
Welcome to your brand new void
a total lack of sanity
Why don't you set yourself on fire,
and spare us from your desire?
You can fool all of them for a while,
but you fake life even in a smile!
It's a shame we share the same air,
worms like you are almost everywhere,
Fulfilling space with rotten existence,
With brainless pairs of poor rich brats!

Each Day
02:43
|

So this is how it goes, the pinnacle of human race
Sitting on barrels of gunpowder, lighting cigarettes
The further we advance, the more nothing ever lasts
We better hurry up my friend, toward nowhere fast
Each day, a forgotten yesterday
I'll kill every thought of past on my way
So this is how it went, completely down the drain
A collective loneliness, drifting us away
The worse we become, the better we used to be
Evolution is now laughing, at you and me
Each day, we forget yesterday
We both killed every hope upon a better way

Lack
02:07
|
|||
I'm aware, I care.
I lose control and then despair.
Turning into something I ain't.
It's a catharsis without an end…
I've been there, I swear...
That I do the best I can.
There's nothing worse to me
than seeing you fighting my worst enemy...
I feel so bad, so sad
It's like a part of me is dead.
A point of no return
about everything I've become...

Divided by Zero
03:03
|
|||
Well, fuck it!
Won't go away...
...and leave nothing
I'm miles away from what I am
Confusion sets in, destroys my day
Can't take it!
Oh, not again...
...please stop it
Why this feeling blinds my way?
Depression visits me, controls my brain
I hate this!
Never ends...
...I’ve gotta breathe
Years away from... what am I?
My reason is pitch-black and panic spreads
Divided by zero, then zero again...
If you can handle it, please show the way

Empty Colors
03:13
|
|||
All the years that we've been through
and all the things in life I can't erase them all…
away
Many times that we've lost it,
And all the times that we've forgotten how to lose…
this pain
Lost between the empty colors
Like a photograph without its content…
and frame
Seeing you not seeing me,
It's like dying and awakening in a bad…
dream
The darkest day will come
And there is nothing I can do but holding on…
to you
Let the memories guide you through,
Even though the lights are out but I'm not…
I'm here

End of the Line
02:51
|
|||
You're the type of person, who ain't my type
Got an evil greed and a brainwashed heart.
You're a waste of everyone's time
'Til there is nobody left in line
All you've ever done, and all you'll ever do
is something always wrong... it ain't right, you fool.
You're the kind of person who ain't kind
Got a weird and vague sense of life.
What a waste of ink to rhyme.
How can you live with your own lies?
How the hell do you sleep at night?
With such a black hole in your mind
sucking every fucking point of light
Your end of the line is a blank sky.
